Princess Fischl

Chapter 11

Once I got to the training ground, unlike what others might think, I headed towards the training two-handed swords, in fact, these were ordinary two-handed swords, just blunted, and yes, unlike their monstrous brothers created for those who can strengthen themselves, an ordinary two-handed sword weighs no more than 3 kilograms, although I probably look funny with a sword that is 10 centimeters longer than my height. Perhaps someone is wondering why I chose a two-handed sword? Well, it's simple. It is a fact that sooner or later I will become so strong that even a sword weighing a ton will become akin to a feather for me, but this still does not cancel out the fact that the area and power of destruction of such a sword will be greater. Remember Heracles from Fate. He was using his club with one hand and was slashing at the speed of a one-handed sword, and what can I say, I think it would be funny to watch a short girl using a sword that was bigger than her, and it might also scare off any treasure thieves in advance.

Walking up to the dummy, I started practicing my strikes based on what I had seen in training videos on the Internet, yes, the source is questionable, but I am now simply practicing how to deliver a chopping strike while maintaining my posture. When striking, the main weight of the sword fell on my right hand, and I used the left for leverage, and also so that almost any chopping blow could instantly turn into a thrusting blow, the main advantage of two-handed swords, with the exception of naturally chopping blows, is their length, so you can more easily let the enemy's blade slide along the blade and deliver a sharp thrusting blow straight to the throat, in words it may seem simple, but in a real battle it is not, just as in most cases, such fights among ordinary people without superpowers end in a couple of seconds, it happens in the movies that two warriors wave their blades for almost half an hour trying to do everything as colorfully as possible, but even in a battle between two masters everything will end quickly. But how will it be with all sorts of fortifications, etc. it's hard to say, after all, in the same Nasuverse or a magical battle, they can hit at the speed of sound, making you fly through several high-rise buildings, and instead of dying, the fighters get up and continue to mash.

Thinking like this, I meditatively practiced strikes on the dummy, until an hour later I received a message about the quest being completed.

"System? How did it happen that the quest is already completed?" - although I didn't complain, since I was already tired, but it still seemed to me that it would take more time.

"Since the host was holding a two-handed weapon for the first time, but nevertheless, for the most part, she performed correct strikes, the progress was significantly accelerated. Also, before accepting the two-handed weapon skill, we recommend that you be in a safe place, since the host's brain is not developed enough for instant data transmission." - I heard the system's response.

"So that's how it is. In that case, I will really accept the reward later." - Having heard the system's recommendation, I decided to follow it.

- Milady, I think you should stop here today, you won't get any better from overdoing it. - Oz said.

- Yes, you're right, tomorrow I still have a hike with Genie ahead of me and it's better to be in good shape by that time. - I answered, wiping the sweat from my forehead.

Having returned the training sword to its place, I went home, where, having washed up, I had dinner, this time alone, since my parents had gone to work again. But I'm sure that at least I cook well, not restaurant level, but I'm sure that if necessary I could open some kind of mini kiosk with food. Having quickly eaten dinner, I went to my room and, having changed into a nightgown, climbed under the blanket, deciding to accept the reward now.

And again, just like when I got the skill for energy control, I absorbed the memories of how I trained with various two-handed weapons for several years, though what also surprised me was that for some reason a polearm also got into the two-handed weapons, but who am I to refuse a freebie, as soon as I finished absorbing the memories, I immediately succumbed to the fatigue I had gained during the day and went to the kingdom of Morpheus.

The next day, for the umpteenth time in recent times, I headed to the headquarters of the Ordo Favonius to meet with Jean, but near her office a funny picture was waiting for me, a huge man, slightly reminiscent of Trevor Belmont from the anime Castlevania, kneeling in a pleading tone, said. - Jean, please forgive the fool, don't leave us, the appointment sheet was just a joke.

From this, the aforementioned girl, pressing her palm to her forehead as if from a severe headache, sighed heavily and finally said: "I am not leaving the Ordo Favonius, I just need a vacation and know, Master Varka, while you are capable, do not even think of dumping your position on me." Jinn said threateningly.

- Vacation? - the man rose from his knees, instantly cheering up. - Yes, of course, you really could use some rest.

What surprised me most about this scene was that it took place not in the office, but in full view of all the knights. Although maybe this was done to dispel rumors? Well, it doesn't really matter, since I immediately headed to the door behind which Djinn and Master Varka disappeared. Knocking on the door, I heard a short "come in" from Djinn.

- Good morning. Deputy Master Djinn, we agreed to meet at this time yesterday. - I answered, slightly worried. Although I know that Djinn is a kind and sweet girl, and Varka is also said to be a kind and playful chatterbox, I still feel a little awkward in front of people with such a high position.

- Hello Fischl, you can just call me Djinn. - the girl said with a smile.

- Let me introduce you to our master, knight Borea Varka. - Jinn pointed at the master and then introduced me. - And this is Fischl von Luftschloss-Narfidort and her raven Ozvaldo Hrafnavis.

- So you are the promising girl with the raven that Jinn and Lisa were talking about? As soon as I heard about you, I wanted to meet you, especially since you are familiar with Razor, whom I taught to wield a two-handed sword. - the man said with a fatherly smile.

- I am also pleased to meet you, master. - I said, while Oz made a welcoming bow on my shoulder.
