68 Training

"Your movements need to be steady, and your steps quick. Don't just focus on the sword in your hand; try using other parts of your body to counterattack. Your fists and legs are your weapons in battle."

At night, after finishing the grand banquet, Roy took Shiki Ryougi to the venue provided by Mr. Ryougi for some post-dinner activities.

Although Mr. Ryougi repeatedly tried to persuade Roy to continue drinking, seeing him nearly unconscious after consuming almost half a barrel of sake, Roy still had Mrs. Ryougi take him home first.

This guy was already starting to talk nonsense, almost spewing gibberish. He first suggested Roy marry into their family, then claimed he wanted to adopt him as his son.

A variety of absurd comments began to spill from his lips, causing Mrs. Ryougi to feel alarmed.

Seeing that Roy merely smiled and wasn't angry, she felt relieved and helped her husband back home.

Even though they had drunk together, Mr. Ryougi was completely drunk, while Roy showed no signs of inebriation at all, which was quite astonishing. It was as if that barrel of sake did not affect him at all. What kind of constitution is this? Is he a reincarnation of a god of alcohol?

Shiki Ryougi was also shocked by his alcohol tolerance.

However, this was not merely a matter of alcohol tolerance; it was due to the unique nature of his body and soul, coupled with the presence of Avalon within him, which helped him resist most abnormal states, meaning he wouldn't feel any intoxication no matter how much he drank.

Unless it was divine wine brewed by gods from the age of gods, ordinary liquor was not much different from water to him.

Seeing that most people had already dispersed, only a few servants were left cleaning up the venue, along with some mob members who had also gotten drunk and were sleeping on the ground.

At this point, it was time for him to take Shiki home. She had been staring at him for two hours already; if he didn't let the child release some energy soon, she might truly become frustrated.

Thus, skipping the formalities, Roy took Shiki to the training ground and directly entered the most thrilling part, practical combat.

*Clang!!*

With a light flick of his bamboo sword, Roy easily sent the small knife in Shiki's hand flying into the air. Immediately, he seized her wrist and threw her out with a swift motion.

*Bang!*

Accompanied by a cloud of dust and the sound of impact, Shiki landed heavily on the ground and couldn't get up again. Roy looked at her with a bit of concern but maintained a calm demeanor.

However, his actions didn't slow down at all. He quickly stepped over to Shiki, bent down, and began to cast a healing spell.

'It seems like I've overdone it with my strength.'

This body's capabilities were much stronger than he had imagined.

Next time, he had to be more careful.

"Does it hurt anymore?"

Although Shiki had long known the wonders of magecraft, she couldn't help but be amazed at how effective it was when she experienced it firsthand.

Her back, which had felt like it was broken just a moment ago, was suddenly healed. This magecraft really is amazing; no wonder her father valued this person so much.

"Let's do it again."

Then, following Roy's example, Shiki picked up a bamboo sword from the training ground and readied herself, her beautiful face devoid of pain or frustration from being knocked down, instead filled with fighting spirit.
