The Decafight match wasn’t scheduled until the next day. It didn’t seem like we had a chance of running into Erin before then, so Roslia and I found ourselves with some free time on our hands. With it, we returned to the inn and asked for permission to use the inner courtyard to spar. Ever since I’d lost to Force at Swordmaster’s Sanctuary, this had become a part of our daily routine.

First Jin, then Eisha, then Roslia... I’d really been blessed with the best training partners. They were all top-tier fighters. I could learn more in one bout with them than your average adventurer could ever dream of.

In fact, it was only thanks to the support I’d been getting all this time that I’d ever made it so far in the dungeon. That was why, this time, I wanted to be the one to lead everyone. And in order to do that, I had to take this opportunity to grow into Jin’s equal.

I held my dagger ready and glanced around. The inner courtyard was shaped like an angular U. One end led to the outside entrance, and the yard wrapped around the guest rooms. Since this was a back-alley inn, the lawn was pretty small. Ten square meters at most. It was covered in weeds and didn’t appear particularly well kept. The ends of the grass prickled my legs.

I looked at Roslia standing across from me. She held her holy sword at the ready, braced for battle. She had her armor on, but she wasn’t using her shield. My attack power was so weak that her armor was more than enough to protect her. Her biggest concern was countering my speed, so she’d sacrificed the shield for more mobility.

Now, how to attack?

As things stood between us, I had an astonishing win ratio of 10 percent. I wasn’t stronger than her by any means. Overall, I didn’t hold a candle. Weapon mastery, movement, magic... She was my better in every regard.

I’d only been able to best her with Pseudo Shadow Runner. All my victories had been claimed using my speed to toy with Roslia and then getting her with a surprise attack. She’d started to catch on to me lately, however, which was making it harder to attack.

She stood calmly on guard, waiting for me to come to her. It was next to impossible to shake a paladin on the defensive—especially Roslia. My win rate had been plummeting since we first started training together, but this was a brand new location. That left me a few tricks up my sleeve.

Pseudo Shadow Runner.

I activated my go-to art and darted forward in a beeline. Not for Roslia, but for the wall diagonally to my right. After reaching it in a single breath, I used Climb to run straight up it before coming to a stop.

The moment Roslia turned to me, I started running along the wall again. It was like gravity had no effect on me—my body just kept hurtling forward. No matter which direction I leaped, I didn’t fall.
