Chapter 65: Rolo’s Training

[Arrow Storm]

The modestly built girl standing quite a distance away from me drew her golden bow, then unleashed a rain of several hundred arrows simultaneously. I took a deep breath and watched the sky, making sure to keep her at the edge of my vision.

“Over there, I think...” I mumbled to myself.

I strained my eyes and closely studied the storm of arrows, careful not to miss a single one while I considered my next move.

Over there.

I’d spotted a section where the density of the falling arrows was slightly thinner. By running through there skillfully enough...only six of them would stick me.

[Physical Enhancement]

I used one of the fundamental skills that I’d only recently learned to enhance my legs, then began to run, keeping my feet so close to the ground that I was almost sliding.

The girl shot another volley of arrows. There were far too many for me to count, and now the storm of projectiles was coming at me from two directions: above and directly in front. That didn’t matter to me, though; without any hesitation, I slipped through the weakest part of the barrage, closed in on my target, and put my wooden training dagger against her neck.

“You got me,” she said for the tenth time today.

After lowering my dagger, I paused to catch my breath—only to notice that the girl was staring at me strangely.

“Hey, uh...doesn’t that hurt?” she asked. “Looks like those went in pretty deep.”

“Yep, it hurts,” I replied.

There were two arrows sticking into my back, three into my arms, and one into my leg—exactly as many as I’d expected. I started to pull them out, one by one.

“How are you so calm?” the girl asked. “It just isn’t right. Captain Mianne ordered me not to hold back, so I didn’t, but...if you’d been just slightly less fortunate with where those hit you, you could be dead right now. It might do you good to be at least a bit more scared.”

“It’s fine. I’m always careful to avoid the worst of it. Thanks for worrying about me, though, um...”

“Sirene. Remember it this time, will you? I’m your elder, so I want some respect!”

“Um, okay. In that case...may I please ask if we can go another round, Sirene?”

She stared at me in amazement. “Are you serious? Shouldn’t you take a break? You haven’t stopped once.”

“I’m not that tired yet, though.”

“Honestly... What’s wrong with you? Then again, being able to avoid so many of my arrows makes you crazy enough already. Actually, before I forget—get Marie to heal those wounds up first. She came here specifically to be your medical aide, not to sit on her butt doing nothing.”

“Oh, um, right. Marie...”

“Marieberr,” Sirene said. “Remember it.”

We both turned our heads to look at the girl in question, who gave a start when she heard us say her name. “I...I’m fine with just ‘Marie,’” she stammered. “B-But, u-um, Rolo...how is it that you’re so calm? You’re moving about just fine despite all those arrow wounds...”

“I guess because I can tolerate it?” I replied.
