During this season when snow piles up, the amount of work apart from subjugation requests decreases, adventurers in Volton split into three types. The high ranking adventurers who've saved enough until winter, they spend the majority of their time in leisure in winter. Intermediate level adventurers without an exclusive escort request travel to the warmer towns in the south to look for work. The remaining lower ranking adventures who can't accept escort requests because things like ranks spend winter time doing odd jobs in town to eke out a living.

The winter Bush Wolves that Tsubaki hunted is a request that carefree high ranking adventurers accept to kill time in winter.

And, as for myself………….

Goro, goro

Rolling around in the Adventurers Guild's training center is a beginner leather armor-wearing Tak.u.mi Iruma. Yes, me.

「Oraaa! Get back up right away!」

「u…………………」

「I think you have great status values, but that's all. You don't have the slightest bit of fighting skill or experience. Even if your skill levels are high, you have an overwhelming lack of experience.」

After that, I got a beat up beginner's leather armor from Barack-san.

Haa, haa, haa, I adjusted my breathing and confronted Barack-san. My level as well as my status have risen compared to a year ago, and I think those are not inferior to adventurers'. But in front of Barack-san, my status values, it feels like there's issues with things like my status values or my skill levels.

「Fuun!」

I charged towards Barack-san.

I leaped in and unleashed a fist, however Barack-san avoided it, did a sweep then returned with a counter.

「Guha!」

Rolling on the ground, I managed to stand up somehow. I frantically moved my body to deal with the kick and punch Barack-san let loose. Barack-san simply stepped back and said that. He said that when evading, always dodge to a spot where you can attack easily and spots where an opponent will find tough to attack.

Barack-san didn't teach me a decided form. I was just told briefly “Watch me and try to steal it!”.

Am I supposed to desperately watch Barack-san's footwork, and his use of his lower body and upper body? I concentrated on taking in Barack-san's every single move.

Thus, whether or not I was Barack-san's time killer, I ended up working hard and earnestly. I was only chatting with Hans-san, so how did it turn out like this?

「Alright! Rejoice, Tak.u.mi! I will make you a top-cla.s.s fighter until spring!」

「Gyaaaaaaaaーー!!」

Yes. It's short.
