5. I’ll Put You in Your Place!

Our formation comprised Sacher and Safina taking spots as vanguards wherever they pleased, while I hung around in the back. We didn’t talk this out, but if both of them were to charge at Instructor Karis, Safina was bound to either trip or lose her nerve. So, without her even being too aware of it herself, she ended up taking her distance from Sacher.

I simply hung back since I wasn’t asked to participate.

“Heh heh... What’s wrong, you two? You’re already gasping for breath.”

Instructor Karis was still perfectly calm, but Sacher was breathing heavily. As for Safina, her problem wasn’t her stamina, but rather her nerves.

But even so, she’s... Yeah, I can see why the instructor’s interested in her so much. Her form is solid and her steps are steady. She’s well-trained...and she’s dodging Karis’s attacks, even if only by a hair’s breadth.

While I was correcting my impression of her, I did have to include an unfortunate addendum to my review:

A shame all of that gets spoiled by her being so skittish.

She was too scared to take any daring strides forward, which got her attacked. And when she dodged, she was too scared to counterattack, which only made her retreat back and then repeat the process. She wasn’t making any headway.

Sacher’s not trying to coordinate with her either...

Perhaps believing in a one-on-one approach, he didn’t try attacking in tandem with Safina, and that got the two of them to bump into each other every now and then. Before long, Instructor Karis easily swept the two of them away, and they ended up falling back to where I stood.

“Damn... You can tell he’s an upperclassman. He has no openings...” Sacher said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and tightening his grip on his sword.

“I’m scared... Scaaaared...” Safina whimpered, the sword in her hand trembling with a noisy clatter, like it had some kind of vibration spell cast on it.

You don’t need to be that frightened!

“Good grief. This is a bit of a letdown... Is that really all you’ve got?” Instructor Karis spread out his arms in a composed taunt.

Seeing this made my brow twitch. I knew I shouldn’t, but I wanted to put him in his place.

No one could blame me. It’s his fault for bullying my friends like this... Maybe watching it all from a distance calmed me down enough to come up with that thought.

“All right, you two, gather around me,” I said with a calm voice and motioned for them to come over.

“What do you want? We’re in the middle of something,” Sacher asked impatiently.

“U-Um, I’m sorry... I’m really sorry...” Safina said as she approached me with tears in her eyes for some reason.

“Lend me an ear,” I told them.

I forced them to huddle around me in a circle, so I could tell them my plan. The whole time I was speaking, Instructor Karis remained in his spot patiently.

“Are you serious?” Sacher asked me, shocked.

“All right? We gang up, beat him down, and teach him a lesson!” I said.
