Shure's right leg, which I thought was sweeping, suddenly changed its trajectory and approached the left side of my head.
Because Shure's kicking style was very imaginary, his upper body flashed slightly, and he immediately stepped on it, pulling his back back.
"Fenya! It's dangerous."
"Although this is the first time I showed it to you, you still avoided it."
The first roundhouse kick was a decoy, and just as I was about to step in, the heel I had just dodged approached.
I barely dodged it, but it grazed the tip of my ear, leaving the sound of wind blowing.
This is a technique called a hang kick, in which the kicking leg is immediately pulled back.
What's more, although Shure's kick was pulled back, it was still getting bigger. When I tried to retreat and avoid it, I almost got hit directly.
The morning after we visited the slums to investigate Zozon, Schur and I had a meeting.
By the way, my brother is moaning and has muscle pain all over his body.
Enthusiasm is great, but it’s impossible for an unhealthy body to keep up with sudden movements.
I don't understand why you feel rushed, but you have no choice but to move your body gradually while maintaining your condition.
Schuler, on the other hand, was more nervous than usual this morning, perhaps because he saw his old enemy Zuo Zong with his own eyes.
Even the kick just now was so sharp that it wouldn't be funny if it were kicked directly, but even so, Shure should relax.
"I'm relaxed but I don't think I can do as well as I normally would."
"But I'd like to see it get a little crazy."
"Right now, I'm relaxed, but one day I'll prove I'm strong enough to take Shure seriously."
"Aren't you going to use magic again today? Hua Wuming is a stubborn person, but that's the good part."
"Meow!"
The two were chatting when a motionless kick flew over them.
Front kicks that spin fast like a boxing jab, roundhouse kicks with difficult trajectories, plus sticks and slashes, so it's a bad ending.
Despite this, he made full use of the softness and agility of Catman's body, dodging front kicks and using his stick to deal with roundhouse kicks, looking for opportunities.
"This is Fuya!"
I barely dodged the front kick that protruded like a spear. As soon as I stepped in, my left shoulder was impacted and I was knocked to the ground.
Just as he dodged, the heel of Shure's right leg bounced back from the ground.
"This time it was like a vertical kick."
"I'm still hesitating whether to step on it. If I don't step on it faster, I won't be able to reach it."
"Ahem, one more"
"Hua Wuming is very good at giving up."
Schuler smiled broadly as he stood up to take a stand.
Even if he had to face off against his old enemy tonight, he would be exhausted from acting like a killer all day like he did at the beginning of the game.
"Let's take a step back and allow Schur to be in perfect condition to challenge tonight's performance."
After the meeting, I wanted to wash off the sweat on my body, but it was completely washed off by Shure.
"I said I would give it my all, but I didn't mean it."
My brother who went downstairs for breakfast was sore all over and was writhing like an old man.
Even when I was in Azka Village, I only occasionally went to help in the fields. I think this is the fundamental reason why I lacked exercise.
Beyond that, it must be because he's using muscles he doesn't normally use to swing the stick.
At the breakfast table, I asked Gad what questions he had about his brother.
"How to use earth attribute magic?"
"Hey, is Fox an earth attribute? There are many earth attribute adventurers who act as shields like eagles."
Unlike direct attacks such as fire and wind, you can strengthen your footing to block the opponent's attacks, dig traps to bury the corpses of defeated monsters, and create projectiles to throw. There also seems to be a lot of supporting characters.
"In addition to adventurers, there are also many people engaged in production work. Of course, there are also many earth-type blacksmiths and potters."
"When I say forging, I think it's a fire attribute, but"
"People who can stably produce high firepower that can be used for forging are more likely to be scouted as knights. In reality, the fire used for forging is mostly charcoal and has higher firepower."
It seems that what the blacksmith needs is the smelting technology using earth-attribute magic.
"Those who master the properties of earth are said to be able to remove impurities from ores and even mix alloys. You are the user."
I thought it was impossible for Brother Liu Xu to be a shield, but he would still have a career as a craftsman.
When my brother registered as an adventurer, his magic index was 53.
"The average for a typical adult male is about 120, so that's less than half that number."
"It may be difficult to learn advanced earth-attribute magic."
"Is there a kind of work that can be done with simple earth-attribute magic, but that can only be done by cat people?"
"have"
"Hey, do you really have such a convenient job?"
"Yeah, that's the perfect job for your brother."
"What is this, please tell me"
"This is a job of closing the rat holes."
"ah!"
"Most of the loopholes that rats can get in and out of are in narrow places. It's difficult for big people to get in, but if you are a cat lover, you should be able to get in easily."
Of course, there are plenty of rat holes in the corners of the ceiling, behind luggage, and in the narrow gaps between warehouses.
I used the sky attribute detection magic to find this location, but since it was not an earth attribute, I couldn't block it, so I reported it.
"Well, if I find it and your brother closes it, that'll be perfect."
"Is there any work I can do?"
"However, it won't work if you don't master the technique of sealing the hole firmly."
"Yes, but how do we plug this hole?"
"This is"
When I was overwhelmed, Gad sent a ship to help me.
"If the hole is small enough for mice to get in, pile up new wall soil and let it harden. If the hole is large, put a wood core or other material inside and pile up the soil and let it harden. "If you have the skills and hardened strength, you won't have any complaints. "
It sounds easy, but in practice it can be difficult without a lot of practice.
"Even if we use soil to plug the hole, it seems that we need to prepare clay, not the soil around here."
"If you want to practice earth magic, you can do it in the front yard here. Pull out the weeds and flatten them with magic. It's not easy."
Of course, with my brother's current magic index, it is impossible to harden a large area at once.
If you repeat the pattern of working on a limited area and then working on another section, there will be differences between the sections and how they harden.
The front yard of the base is large enough for Shure and I to move around and play.
"Once your brother solves all these problems, closing the rat holes will be easy."
"Hua Wuming, let me try."
"I understand, but I'll wait until my muscle pain heals."
"I know"
Still, my brother went out to the front yard after breakfast and started playing with the dirt, but he kept scratching his head.
Since he is a cat person, his magic power is weak and he rarely uses magic after leaving the lair.
"It goes without saying, but you can't get better without using magic."
"When I first started using it, it didn't work the way I wanted it to, and I was frustrated."
“It would be nice if the boredom of being a cat lover didn’t get in the way.”
Aniki placed her hands on the ground and seemed to be concentrating.
"I am an air attribute, so I can deal with it with air awareness."
I don't know what the earth attribute feels like, but I guess it's the feeling of being able to move the earth freely within the confines of your own magic.
Seeing my brother testing magic, it seems easier to convey his consciousness if he touches the ground.
"We were wearing our own furs and it looked like we were going to get a lot dirtier than other people working with the dirt, but it looked like we had no choice but to give up."
Even so, it is not uncommon for my brother to look like an old man playing with earth as he staggers to try earth-based magic due to muscle pain.
First, you need to level up your earth magic, but when you can work alone, I'll give you a water magic tool and other things you need for the job.
"It's still a narrow and steep road, but I feel like I'm starting to see a little bit of the path to independence for my brother."
