Defense Specialization and Apprentice Training

Author: Its the 80th chapter.

After thoroughly beating up the Hydra and returning to the guild home on the third layer, Yui and Mai found themselves with Sally the next day in a certain facility.

It was a very large room that was called the Training Room. This facility was open to people who reached the third layer and could be accessed through a magic circle.

Here you could use skills without your HP draining to 0, but you would not be able to acquire any new ones.

First of all, Izu still hadnt been able to make satisfactory equipment for the two sisters, so they had to use two spare giant hammers for now. Each of them was now waiting with the hammers in their hands.

In this Training Room, you will be able to train without anyone seeing you.

What are we going to do?

You want to be able to use those hammers decently, dont you?

Yes

Yes

The two had become much stronger now and had fought with two weapons in the first layer, but as they had not raised their AGI at all, they could not evade attacks as they should.

While they may have acquired the power to deal a one-hit kill, it did not change the fact that they had the HP to be one shotted as well.

I will teach you how to evade attacks. And how to use two weapons. To be frank, as part of the guild, we want you to be able to evade piercing attacks.

If they were able to do that, then they would be able to fight alongside Maple.

But, but we arent as fast as you, Sally

What Yui was saying was true. There was a huge gap between their and Sallys AGI.

Of course, it would be hard for them to evade.

Youre right. I do think that it is difficult to evade an attack when you dont even know which side it is going to come from. Butwith skills, you are just tracing the fixed movements. So it should be possible to avoid attacks by the millimeter.

Th-thats

Th-thats

Yui and Mai thought.

Thats easy to say but hard to do.

If it was that easy, then everyone could evade any skill.

Well, maybe that is going too far. But Piercing Attack Skills are different.

Um How is it different?

Among all the skills that I know of, Piercing Attack Skills are the only ones that have a short windup.'

According to Sally, other skills activate as soon as you finish saying their name, but skills with piercing abilities have a brief delay that you need to watch out for.

After explaining this to them, Sally took out two sheets of paper from her inventory.

These are the names of all kinds of Piercing Attack Skills that Ive gone around collecting. I want you two to memorize all them in one
