For Shin, who lived in a world without a class system such as nobles and royal families, their ideas were beyond his understanding.
Although he was familiar with the meaning of a fantasy system in games and manga, he didn’t understand it in this world.
“That’s too bad. It’s not easy to encounter an upper grade Chosen One. So, it seems like we’ve arrived?”
Rionne shrugged while stating her disappointment, she probably thought that Shin would have agreed.
And then, she stopped in front of a somewhat ordinary door.
“Here?”
“This is because you requested a fight that no one will see. So we will borrow this place.”
Saying that, Rionne pushed the door open.
Inside, there was a transition point similar to what Shin saw in the adventurers’ guild. (T/N: metastasis point had been changed to transition point)
“So we are going to teleport?”
“That’s right. Didn’t you also do so in the guild?”
Their destination, after transferring right away, was a round open space about 100 mels in radius. It was different from the place where Shin fought against Barlux.
“It’s constructed differently from the guild’s training ground, huh?”
“It’s been said to be made with a battle between Chosen Ones in mind. Besides, there’s no one here so we can fight as much as we want. Actually, even if you didn’t say anything, I was planning to fight you here anyway, Shin.”
Although it was a test of strength, even if a chosen one used only a ‘tiny’ portion of their power, there was no guarantee that this ‘tiny’ amount would be the same amount as that of an ordinary soldier. But, it seemed this place would be alright, if that was the case.
“It was decided, huh?”
“I couldn’t find any other place for our purpose, except this. The transition point is a technique from before the Dusk of the Majesty, and we haven’t been able to completely solve it yet. What was it made for? To tell you the truth, it’s not known yet. But it’s pretty sturdy, so it’s thought to have been a training ground in the past.”
I see, Shin thought.
He thought it was strange because he was told that transposing magic was lost, but a transition point had been set up here like it was perfectly normal. To manufacture a transition point, the technique of transposing was needed.
(Hmm…I wonder if this place was for some guild house originally.)
If one said guild in this world, it would usually refer to an adventurers’ guild.
However, there were many players guilds and their corresponding guild houses that existed during the game era. The structures and styles varied according to the guild. Some made castle, while others used a shop. There were no similar guild houses.
And, a transition point was standard equipment for a guild house. As for the royal magic library that Shin had visited before, the unusually high level barrier skill was understandable, if it too was installed by a guild. Perhaps, that was also just equipment repurposed from a guild.
“Let’s begin now. First, you should choose a weapon of your liking. Do you need a change of clothes?”
“No, they’re fine as is.”
Just like the match with Barlux, they didn’t battle immediately.
Several mels ahead of Shin, there were swords and spears that were previously prepared. It could be said that they were used for training because they were made from iron and had edgeless blades. However, if it was swung with the strength of a chosen one, the damage inflicted may not be small.
“Then, I’ll take this.”
Shin chose a standard one-handed sword from among the weapons.
It was maintained properly, but its quality was not so good because it was for training. As for Rionne, she chose a thick-bladed greatsword. The blade was almost 2 mels in length, similar to 『Muspelm』, and she swung it around like a branch from a tree.
“When I see that in person, something feels out of place.”
Such a thing would never happen if it was in the game.
It was different if it was a monster, but the scene of a sword that was about the height of a body, being swung by a woman’s slender arm was very strange to see in reality.
Speaking of the person in question, it seemed like she intended to warm-up. Shin heard the sound of air being cut through every time the greatsword was brandished. Since it’s no use to keep watching forever, Shin too, lightly swung his sword and relaxed his body. With their preparations completed, they got ready with their weapons in the center of the training ground.
“This is a fight to check your ability, so I’ll let out some of my power to an extent!”
“Please go easy on me.”
Shin replied with a wry smile, to Rionne who was fully motivated.
Gadras played the role of referee. Points would be given to each of them, and if he judged the blow would cause a fatal injury he would end the match.
Of course, even if it was said to be a fatal injury, they would stop just before the blow landed. After all, with the ability of these two people, d
