“If you’re too slow to react, just train more. Scolding her will only disrupt today’s training.” Anyi said calmly.
“Ah?”
Hilo glared, and said angrily:
“What we’re going to next is a battlefield! If she’s not disciplined now, then what should we do on the battlefield?!”
Anyi shook his head: "It’s precisely because we’re going to the battlefield that we need to let her gain confidence.
Through training, to make combat become instinctive. That is the right approach. Disciplining her now will only make her more anxious and nervous.
When she’s on a real battlefield, she’ll be unable to calm down because she’ll doubt herself.”
Don’t pressure your teammates.
This is what 【Rod Hero】 Dus taught him.
Hilo lowered her head, clenched her fists, and let out a long sigh, “Aa—”, then gritted her teeth, a fierce glint in her eyes:
“Since… being nervous…
Then…
We! Must! Train! More!! Aa—!!
Hmph!”
Hilo’s fist, veins bulging, struck directly at Anyi’s face!
Hilo’s Agility was 30, higher than Anyi’s. Logically, he should have been hit squarely, then sent flying.
But Anyi did something completely unexpected.
He took a step forward, getting so close to Hilo that his chest was almost touching her nose.
“Whoa!!”
It wasn't that Hilo didn’t hit him, but that she herself was startled and took a few steps back.
She had intended to hit Anyi, but she was startled by his sudden closeness.
At this distance, Hilo could imagine herself being thrown to the ground and having various key techniques used on her!
This would render her high Agility useless!
This man… has something!
But—
“My speed! Is faster than yours!!”
“Boom!”
With a resounding boom, in a few short steps, Hilo punched at Anyi like a cannonball!
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
“Enough!”
Suddenly, a petite figure stood between Anyi and Hilo—
“Bang!”
The opponent was hit by Hilo’s fist, her long hair blown back by the force, and her body flew backward.
Anyi caught her.
This person standing between them was Sephie!
After the opponent stabilized herself, Anyi released his hand.
Hilo said angrily: “Why did you stop me?!”
Sephie rubbed her aching face. With 30 Durability, she wasn’t hurt by Hilo’s attack.
“Enough…
We’ve made enough of a fuss.” She calmly stared at Hilo.
“Are you on their side?!” Hilo questioned angrily.
Before Sephie could reply, Eira walked over and patted Hilo on the shoulder with a wry smile.
“Alright, you should all calm down.
Hilo, aren’t you our team leader? We lost the training, shouldn’t we discuss our tactics?” Eira advised.
“I didn’t lose!”
“Okay, okay, we have more important things to do than arguing, let’s rest for a while.” Eira said smoothly.
“Who’s arguing! I didn’t lose! If my Agility was like that gloomy girl’s, I would have won!” Hilo argued.
Miruku: “?!”
Eira: “Yes, yes, yes…”
He agreed while leading Hilo out of the training ground.
Sisrine looked at Hilo and the two, then at Anyi, not knowing what to do.
If she followed, Hilo would probably scold her later.
If she didn’t, she felt like she was “betraying” Hilo.
Finally, she bowed deeply to Anyi, then slowly followed the two.
She didn’t get too close, maintaining a distance of two meters, quietly following.
The conflict had created a heavy atmosphere.
After the three disappeared from the training ground, Sephie, looking a little tired, relaxed her legs and sat on the ground.
She turned to the four who hadn’t spoken: “Sorry, Hilo has a strange temper, I apologize for her behavior.”
Ariana forced a smile: “It was… a little startling.”
She hadn’t interacted much with people since she was a child, and the believers didn’t have such dramatic mood swings.
Layton was simply cheerful and didn’t get angry easily.
He was like sunshine, bright and dazzling, yet warm and comforting.
But Hilo felt like…
“Fire.”
Burning herself, easily igniting everything around her, hurting everyone.
Even if it wasn’t her intention.
This made Ariana wonder, who was actually the “Fire Hero”?
Eira, who controlled fire, was calmer.
Layton smiled: “Although she seems a bit ill-tempered, she’s a good person, right?!
In my opinion, both of them are good people! They just have different opinions!
After resting, we should be able to continue training peacefully.”
Miruku sat in a faraway corner, hugging her knees with one hand and picking at the ground with the other, her eyes dull.
「Ah… I’m the Gloomy Girl… That’s right… I’m the Gloomy Girl…」
“Is something wrong?” Anyi asked.
【Mad Blade Hilo】 was very famous in the history of heroes, both for her fighting style and her personality.
Even later 【Blade Heroes】 imitated her fighting style.
Anyi remembered that the 【Blade Hero】 who participated in the Holy War was the sixty-second generation.
But… the details of the first Blade Hero’s life weren’t explored much in his previous life.
The reason was that she died too early. People only remembered her spirit, not her story.
After all, compared to her long 19-year life as a soldier, her story of becoming a hero, slaying monsters, and ultimately perishing alongside a high-level monster was more exciting and moving.
Sephie said softly: “Hilo and Sisrine’s parents… are deceased.
They were warriors who went to explore Moonwish City, and after their deaths, only their two daughters remained.
At that time, Hilo was nine years old, and Sisrine was five.”
Although there were people who took care of them, outsiders were still outsiders. Those people had their own families and lives and couldn’t truly treat them as their own children.
Therefore, when Sisrine was still wetting the bed, Hilo, as her older sister, took on the responsibility of taking care of their family.
Hilo’s personality began to form from that point on.
Children who grow up in such circumstances usually become tactful and learn how to interact with others.
But she didn’t like those roundabout approaches since she was a child.
Therefore, she took a different path.
Like a vigilant wild beast, she never revealed her claws.
She began to learn martial arts, sharpening her claws and fangs.
And, to take revenge on the monsters.
