Chapter 250

~13 min read 2,594 words

Uranus suggested that I could soon do some game-related training, so I accepted. Changing is better than continuing to train.

I bought water, food, a Towel, and dumbbells at the shopping center. Leaving Otania, I headed to the forest where I usually train.

The closer the siblings got, the paler their faces became. I know you don't like it, but do you all hate it when you train? It seems they are taking it seriously for some reason.

The two took off their backpacks and dug out the vests and Wristbands buried in the ground.

Well, I have about 30 minutes left on the "Zhou" I'm wearing, but what should I do?

——Well, this is a good opportunity.

"Meleoron, you don't need to add weight to it yet."

"Eh!?"

That said, Meleoron was not happy, but instead stiffened his face. Good to know.

"Play Kumite with me."

"Tasukete! Colossalel!"

"I won't kill you...

I don't even want to hurt you."

《Go to Nirvana》

Uranus prayed with one hand. There was a cross seam on his chest.... Omara.

"Eh...

I didn't say I would do a normal Kumite.

Uranus, can I have one of those cards?"

"Hmph, I'll do it right away. Book.

... Right, this one."

I caught the card Uranus threw and confirmed it.

【600:10j】

Rank H Card limit ∞

The smallest coin shape in GI denomination is

exactly the same as international currency coins

(If it's not in card form, it's worthless in GI)

It was something Uranus exchanged at the shopping center, thinking it could be used for training.

It doesn't necessarily have to be money. I wouldn't mind if it were a Stone, but making sure some of them are is very Hard. Of course, it doesn't matter if it's a Trash Card, but basically, it's just hard to collect.

In exchange, if it's a "10j" card, you can just exchange 100 jenny to get 10 cards. Most importantly, returning the item status doesn't really get in the way. Uranus's idea is really helpful.

I think a Locust would be fine, but I don't like it when the card is resolved...

"Book.

From now on, I will use the card I just received from Uranus as a Spell Card.

Meleoron, please stop it.

... There is Aura, but no ability is being used. Please stop it with a body strengthened by Aura. I don't have any abilities, but I don't mind if I strategize instead of attacking directly."

"Hmm...

What exactly should I do?"

"Anything that stops the use of a Spell.

Of course, I don't want to hurt him, nor do I want him to get hurt, so I hope he ignores the bottom card and stops the full-force attack.

Once I announce the use of a Magic Card, you lose.

If you can stop me from using a Magic Card, you win."

Meleoron pondered. Don't have bad feelings.

"... If I win, will there be any benefit?"

"If you ask, I will also give a corresponding punishment when you lose, okay?

If that's okay."

Meleoron said "Hmm." Then it will be like that. Otherwise, it's not fair.

"Meleoron, you try first.

It ends when Aisha's 'Perimeter' runs out, so you'd better hurry."

"As far as I'm concerned, if Uranus calls back..."

"Better be quick."

Hmm. Stingy.

"Oh, now I know.

And? What Spell is Aisha going to use?"

"Actually, I'm still very worried.

Uranus, do you have any Spells that can better prevent them from being used?"

Asked, Uranus crossed his arms and thought,

"Hmm... actually, there aren't many Magic spells that are hard to deal with when used at close range.

The Paladin's Necklace can block attack spells. Even if you don't wear it, you can touch it with your hand.

As long as you have the normal Spell 'Gate of Castle', there is room to fight with the Binder.

There are three types of spells you need to watch out for that the method I just mentioned cannot deal with."

Uranus opened his arms and held up a Finger.

"First is 'Collection'. However, it is almost impossible to prevent this situation.

After all, the declaration will be completed with 'levion'. It is impossible to say only 4 sounds unless there is a significant difference in ability.

The Tax Bureau Chief's gauntlet does not need to take out a Binder or card, so if I am suddenly attacked, I don't think there is any way to stop it."

... However, Lina stopped it. Hmm, is the ability gap large? I don't know if it can always be stopped.

Uranus held up a second finger.

"The second is 'Companion', which is a close-range normal Spell, but even 'City Gate' cannot block it.

This is a troublesome card that can be used to kidnap you, because it is a spell that moves within a range.

As you know, when using it, you need to declare the city name or player name after 'acampanion'. Do you have enough time to say it?"

Uranus held up a ring finger,

"Finally, 'Communication'.

A player targeted by 【communication】 may be forced to appear in a conversation, even if they haven't taken out a Binder—even if they haven't chanted 'book' themselves. Moreover, during the 'Communication' effect, the target player cannot erase the Binder.

You can take advantage of this to steal your cards from the Binder."

Ugh... that's disgusting. What is that.

Uranus held up a finger,

"There are two ways to prevent this situation.

Stop it before it can say 'contact, player name'. If you operate a Binder and use 'Communication', you have no choice but to interfere with the operation.

Or, after using it, the Binder will play an announcement that 'Communication' is disadvantageous to you, so before this announcement ends, erase your Binder with 'book'.

With this, you can forcibly cut off 'Communication' before the 'Communication' call begins."

"Really"

I see. If you know it, you can easily stop it, but if you don't know it, you are a dangerous person.

"By the way, the second defense method is a trick I discovered, which many players may not know, so basically keep it secret.

Putting that aside, the condition fairness between the user of the spell and the party blocking it is 'Accompaniment'. Especially being taken away by 'Accompaniment', you might be surrounded by a group of enemies, and not only your cards but even your life might be taken. If you want to increase your survival rate a little, I think it's worth it."

"Is that so..."

Because that's all I can say right now. Let's get serious.

"Now, Meleoron.

I will announce 'acampanion, masadora', so please stop it."

"... Aisha, can I place an order?"

"Oh, yes. What is it?"

"Can you change the Masadora part to another word?

Anything is fine, but masadora might be too easy to say. Whether it's a city or a player. I want you to practice so that you can immediately say something other than masadora.... Aisha needs to adapt to the game a bit more."

"Haha..."

Oh. I was instructed... I'm a bit frustrated.

"If you intend to do this, you'd better start now.

If there is less than ten minutes left, the 'Perimeter' will start to weaken, so the time the aura is fully present will be less than fifteen minutes."

"Yes.

Meleoron, let's start."

"Good, come anytime!"

Meleoron took a light, flicking jumping stance.

I took a card out of the Binder that was still outside,

"Acampanion—"

Meleoron approached and reached for a card. It was faster than I expected, but it was too slow. I closed the Binder with one hand, put it aside, and then used the arm holding the card to embrace Meleoron's outstretched arm.

"Ah!?"

I grabbed the jumpsuit with my other hand and spun Meleoron in the air. Through some adjustments, Meleoron was placed on the ground from the shoulder.

"──Panic Rubikuta.

It is rearranging. Meleoron"

"Eh eh eh..."

"I said I wouldn't hurt you, but I didn't say I wouldn't touch you."

"That's right.

Meleoron, of course, if you try to interfere with the use of a spell, you have the possibility of being countered.

... And the seams. Don't get distracted, start exercising when you weigh. If you want to see it, please do it while moving. This is a waste of time."

"Ah!? Yeah, sorry!"

... The effect is dismal. You are willing to keep your promise to call Sakura. Uranus.

I opened the Binder, put the card into the empty box, took it out, and extended it for a minute.

"Meleoron, I'll go next."

"Yes, please!"

"Acampanion—"

After 23 Kumite, the 'Ren' started to weaken, so I ended the Kumite. Of course, it was a complete victory.

"What the hell...?"

Meleoron complained while rolling on the ground, exhausted.

"Your movements are too wasteful."

I cannot see how the Aura moves, so it is clear that the method of reinforcement is also unstable.

"No matter how much Aura you have, you won't win no matter how many times you try."

"Kneading" might be fine, but "Hardness" and "Tightness" are not good either. It feels like I am not used to handling the Aura while moving. Even for me, who cannot see the Aura, it is obvious that this cannot be called a cultivation that can withstand battle. Most importantly, the strange movement of stealing the card from your hand has increased it.

"Hmm, I'm not used to it..."

"Please get used to it. That is the purpose of Training.

Stay alert and get rid of your normal state. Especially the movement of the upper body is too terrible."

"Oh my."

Besides the dirty Meleoron, I also looked at Seam.

Seam is in the habit of walking around with Heavy objects. This time, from the beginning, I only wore a 60kg vest.

Well, I must also train Seam in the game. However, my "Perimeter" has already been cut off.

When I turned to Uranos, he looked at me and nodded.

"Meleoron, after resting, increase the weight and start running.

Seam, please don't go yet."

"Ah, yes.

... What should I do?"

"Yes, that is what I intend to do."

Uranos, who was resting to recover his Aura, stood up.

"It's my turn this time.

Seam, take off your vest. I am now going to ask you to undergo the same Training as Meleoron."

"Yes...

Will you do the same thing with your sister?"

"No, I'm going to adjust it a little. Book.

Take out Seam's Binder as well."

"Yes, book."

Wow. How will you do it?

Now, I put on the vest and Wristband to increase my load. Total mileage 450 kilometers.

There is not much point in trying to train my basic physical abilities before I am completely out of the "Perimeter," so I carefully do warm-up exercises. The irregular Kumite with Meleoron did not warm me up enough.

"I will use the '10j' I just gave you, just like the 'Companion' of Aisha before.

Start with me. Then Seam. Alternate.

Let me make it easier to understand than the rules you two did before.

The victory condition for the side blocking the use of the Spell is to take the card in the other's hand. Only this. You can touch the other person's body, but no attacking.

Conversely, the side using the Spell wins when they announce the use of the Spell. This is the same as before.

Add a special rule here.

After each Kumite, the owner of the card should immediately put it into the Binder. Regardless of whether the Kumite team wins or loses, if the card is not canceled after 1 minute, points will be deducted."

"Eh!?"

"If the time runs out before the Kumite ends, the win or loss of the Kumite itself is a draw.

What about the penalty..."

"How about doing a few push-ups?"

I tried to offer a Suggestion, but Uranos had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Those guys don't like it taking up their time. It is indeed a penalty, but it is only Training after all.

But... I don't have any good ideas."

Yes. If you do push-ups at that time, the Training will be interrupted frequently. That is why I want to digest the penalty as soon as possible, but if it is Seam, it will take time.

"... More precisely.

We, you were originally the ones who control life and death.

No matter the penalty or whatever, I can only listen to what you say?"

Meleoron, who was resting, complained. Hmm... indeed, even on this point, the power relationship is too close. If both of them make strong demands, they usually do as they please.

Uranos also rubbed the tip of his nose with a displeased look.

"Well, even now, I am using Sakura as a shield, restricting that I cannot skip Seam...

Do you want me to do something else?"

"Ah, stop calling me Sakura, will you?

Please."

"Yes...

It promises to distinguish that I won't do that because I can. I don't think we need a separate penalty."

Cormorant. When you say that, I'm in trouble when I want to punish.

"Because I'm serious.

Make sure it doesn't exceed one minute."

"Hmm... yes. That's fine.

Then let's start."

Ah, I'm ruined...

Meleoron looked at me and grinned. Nu, you conspired!... They caught me.

Uranus considered my opinion, but in reality, Uranus possessed all the power. I couldn't help but...

I cannot point out "sweetness" to Uranus, because I am spoiled now.

"A company"

After removing the card, Seam moves according to Uranus's vocalization. Reaching out to grab Uranus's hand of cards—

You can avoid it.

"Book"

Uranus erases the adhesive. Seam desperately reaches out, trying to grab that card. Uranus teases him with the card he picked up using two Fingers.

"Ah!"

Seam swings his arms desperately. Uranus dances on the card so much that it barely grazes him.

"Jajanken! Yeah!"

Seam hugs Uranus. Uranus, not understanding his intentions, remains held in his embrace.

"... Hey.

Then how are you going to steal the card?"

"Squishy"

"……

Abengane, Bensei"

After saying that, I hit Pocontoshim on the head.

"Eta"

"Get serious, Book.

Hey, this is a change. Let go."

"Yes"

"I see..."

I didn't miss a single word of what Meleoron said.

"... If you commit Harassment during Kumite because of the chaos, I will beat you up after the Training ends."

"No, no, no.

You couldn't possibly do that, Adana."

"..."

"But. So Seam is fine?"

"Ask Uranus, not me.

I won't allow such a thing to happen, even to Seam."

"He doesn't seem to hate me that much."

"..."

Well, yes.... Seam also said squishy, meaning Uranus is weak. If Meleoron did the same, the result would definitely be different.

"Then let's begin."

"Anytime."

Seam takes the card out of the Binder in response to Uranus's voice.

"──"

Before Uranus could even make a sound, he snatched the card away with an idea.

"... Yes."

I don't know which one it was, but Meleoron made a retort. Uh, okay...

"I haven't even said 'a' yet..."

"Bakayaro. The moment you got the card, the start was decided.

Did you think I would wait for you to say that much?

This is because you didn't prepare sufficiently. Insufficient preparation."

While scolding, Uranus placed the card on Seam's head.

"Wah."

"Book.

Come on, we're next. Accompaniment, Jana—"

"Wah!"

"──Behind. Out. Yes, change."

"Hey, wait a second—"

"My cards haven't been put away yet, hurry up and pick them up and put them in your Binder."

"Wah!?"

Ugh, that's terrifying.
