“Hah!”

“Ggh…”

Bequa guarded my spinning kick by crossing his arms. He also flew backward a little to lessen the impact. But for once, flying backward was a bad move.

“Oh…shit!”

“Come!”

“Ugh!”

Bequa, who had been in many mock fights with me, had a surprised expression. Perhaps it was habit that made him jump backward. I pulled him to the ground with my magic power and slammed him to the ground.

“Whoa…”

“I won, didn’t I?”

“Damn…you got me!”

I helped Bequa, who was crawling on the ground, to get up.

It had already been a little less than a month since the Garden battle. My status has changed a lot in the meantime. My current status is like this.

As usual, the level hasn’t gone up. In case you’re wondering, I’ve been going with Elira to defeat monsters….

And I still think that skill levels tend to go up in the order of skills, unique skills, and extra skills. The skill level of the Divine Speed Reflex, which I’m probably using the most, has only gone up by 1.

Furthermore, among the unique skills, I feel that it’s difficult to raise the skill level of unique skills once they have evolved. The skill level of Spirit User is only 2, but Devil Magic and Devilfication are already at level 3.

“I can’t even beat Zeros with only beastification anymore…”

“It’s okay, because Bequa is still winning.”

I think I’ve had a hundred mock battles with Bequa in less than a month. That’s probably why I’ve become quite adept at using the beastification. Now, I can produce up to two tails with little or no stamina consumption. And at the moment, I can produce up to four tails. However, once I have four tails, I can’t even last three minutes without a recovery enchantment.

Recently, I’ve been able to win two out of three times in a beastly bind with Bequa. Of course, I lost dozens of times before I got that good. And it’s not only because I’ve improved my beast skills that I’ve been able to win so many times.

“How’s your skin doing, Zeros?”

“No problem at all! It’s helping me a lot!”

“I see!”

Gladden made me a strong skin to hold the sword and scabbard in place. Thanks to this, I can now use Suiyami and Suikou in mock battles. Until now, I had not used swords in mock battles, because I couldn’t counter Bequa’s attacks with a sword with a mangled blade like the ones sold in the market. However, Suiyami and its sheath are not even easily scratched. And since they are still in their sheaths, there is no need to worry about their bodies being cut in half or something.

“Then next time, you will have a mock battle with me.”

“Okay.”

Next up was a mock battle with Elira in spirit binding. After that, it’s a mock battle with Bequa again. I’m in this loop of mock battles. In that loop, there’ll also be a mock battle with Shana and Claudia.

I’ve won all of my fights with Elira. I have a different number of contracted spirits than Elira, and I also have a contract with the Spirit King. The difference between me and Elira is so big that I can’t afford to lose.

Also, the mock battle with Sophie was almost even. Sophie also has a contract with two devils, so losing is not an option…but I have a contract with the Devil King. So I should at least be winning, but I’m losing. Even though Sophie’s magic power will be limited thanks to the Devil Binding, the Devil Binding is tough.

“Then today is the last time we can have this many mock battles.”

“That’s right.”

That’s also the reason why Gladden, who usually stays in his hut and keeps making things today, stayed in the practice field all the time. Today is the end of this kind of free training.

Because according to the schedule, the players from each country who will participate in the school competition will start arriving tomorrow. We don’t have anything special to do just because players from other countries are coming. However, we’ll have to train for the school competition. This year’s competition is mainly survival, so we will need to work as a team more than last year. We have fought each other before, but never as a team. That’s why we need to train for it.

“I’m looking forward to fighting alongside Zeros.”

“I’m looking forward to it, too.”

“I’m looking forward to it as well.”

As Bequa and Elira said, it’s not that I’m depressed about tomorrow. I’m looking forward to doing something completely different from what I’ve done before. But I am also a little worried.

“Are you looking forward to tomorrow, too?”

“Yes, I am. I’m looking forward to fighting alongside Nii-sama.”

“I-I see…”

“Yes!”

The concern was whether Sophie would be able to fight alongside the others. To be honest, I don’t think she’s a good match for Bequa and Elira. Is she going to be okay?

“Well then, Zeros, see you tomorrow!”

“Yeah, see you!”

The last free time was over with such a bit of anxiety in my heart.
