Chapter 123: - Hana’s Ability

Approximately 5 minutes after I went searching for a monster with Hana, a green monster with a big sword in its hand–a Goblin Knight appeared in front of us.

From what I could see using [Appraisal], the recommended level to subjugate it was level 400. Although it was a fairly high level opponent for a beginner like Hana, it was still an opponent she could beat in terms of status, and I was prepared to help in the worst case anyway.

The color of tension arose in Hana's face as she saw the Goblin Knight.

"Hana, can you do it?"

"Un… I can."

Nodding, Hana took a distance from the Goblin Knight and prepared herself.

I have already made Hana copy three of my skills, which were [Beginner Magic Lv 3], [Cladding Barrier Lv 1], and [MP Recovery Lv 2].

Among them, only [Beginner Magic] and [Cladding Barrier] could be used in battle, and the only means of attack was [Beginner Magic]. Although I did teach her how to use them, I wondered what the result would be.

And then, in front of me who felt a little worried, the battle began.

"Fire Ball!"

Hana made the first move. Taking advantage of her distance from her opponent, she cast magic from a distance. It was a smooth activation of magic, causing the ball of fire to be bigger even for the level of the skill.

Incidentally, fire attributes were a weakness for goblins, and her aim itself was already good.

However–

"Gigyaaa!"

"–!"

–Her enemy wasn't that sweet to let that attack easily hit it.

The Goblin Knight jumped sideways to avoid the fireball, and then, it immediately rushed toward Hana from such a low position.

"–Not yet! Wind Cutter!"

But, Hana's response was also quick. Judging that ordinary magic would be avoided just like before, Hana casts wind magic, which excels in speed.

And her aim brilliantly hit the opponent, as the wind blade directly hit the left shoulder of the Goblin Knight. Then, as if it had lost its power, the Goblin Knight fell down.

"Yay–"

Hana rejoiced at the success of her attack. However, it was unwise to show that kind of reaction in front of a monster.

"Gaaaaaaa!"

Ignoring the damage it received, the Goblin Knight rushed toward Hana. This exactly was the dreadfulness of monsters. They attacked without fear of injury or death.

As expected, it's time for me to help her. But immediately after I kicked the ground with that thought in mind, an astonishing sight entered my eyes.

"Persistent!"

"Gyau!"

Faster than the Goblin Knight could brandish its sword, Hana’s full power right-hand straight1 buried into its face. And the Goblin Knight's body was easily blown away by that blow that she released with a beautiful form.

"E-eh…"

I have been wondering how she would defeat it using magic, but I never expected that she would end the fight using her fist. Although it might be because of the difference in their statuses and the influence of skills, it nevertheless was an excellent blow.

Then, after releasing a fireball in order to deliver the finishing blow to the defenseless Goblin Knight that fell flat on its back, Hana rotated her body and looked at me.

"I won, Onii-chan!"

"C-congratulation"

I was concerned about what kind of influence that Hana received because of the trauma given by Yanagi, but, the fight unexpectedly ended up in Hana's overwhelming victory. Furthermore, she defeated it using her bare hands, which was difficult for beginners.

Now that I think about it, even if it was in an emergency, she did defeat a Trent that has a recommended level to subjugate of 10,000 in the state of a level 2, right?

Looks like my sister might be a very courageous one. That kind of though suddenly crossed my mind.
