[How did you get that strength at your age, Miss? If it’s magic power, I know it’s a natural talent. But you’re used to fighting. Normally, people of your age would be afraid of monsters when they see them. But when you fought the worms and the scorpions, you looked like a seasoned adventurer. Could it be that you’re just faking your age?] Toya
[I’m not faking my age, I’m just more experienced at fighting than most people.] Yuna
In my gaming days, I would fight hundreds of thousands of battles a day to gain experience. It can go on for days without break. That is the familiarity and experience of fighting monsters.
I’ve also experienced thousands of matches against other people (PVP). More than Toya.
[So much experience, how long have you really been fighting?] Toya
[That’s a secret.] Yuna
[I’m really anxious to know that secret.] Toya
[It’s not nice to ask a woman about her secrets.] Senia
Senia-san hugged me from behind and protected me from Toya.
[But it’s okay if it’s between women.] Senia
[I won’t tell you either.] Yuna
[I’m sad.] Senia
I can’t talk about the game, where I fought, or anything like that.
[Miss, how about a match against me?] Toya
[Toya, stop it. You’ll just embarrass yourself.] Senia
[I don’t expect to win, but I don’t intend to lose easily either.] Toya
It was decided. Toya and I had a simple match. Of course, we’re using swords made of wood.

A few minutes later, a figure of the depressed Toya can be seen.
[I’m sorry. I’m not very good at holding back. I should have made it more even.] Yuna
Toya is crouching with his back facing me.
Of course, I took it easy on him. Toya is not weak, but not strong either. I tried to take on as few attacks as possible. However, when his attacks were dodged, Toya started to attack unreasonably, creating a lot of openings for me to attack him.
[How are you moving so fast when you’re wearing something that looks uncomfortable? And what kind of power do you have, Miss?] Toya
It may look like a difficult outfit to move in, but on the contrary, I can’t move fast without this outfit.
When Toya saw that his attack was not hitting me, he tried to overpower me instead. But I pushed him back with the power of my bear costume.
[It’s because of experience. I almost died many times (in the game). And from that, I gained a lot of experience.] Yuna
[Almost died, she said.] Toya
[So I’m not going to be defeated easily, because getting at my current level wasn’t easy either.] Yuna
Well, I can, because my muscle strength and other things came from my bear gear. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to swing my sword, step powerfully into the air, or take on Toya’s sword.
But the ability to move, act, and make decisions is a power I have personally acquired.
[I’m sure you’ll easily pass old man Xelo’s test, Miss.] Toya
[Yuna borrowed Jade’s sword and cleared it.] Senia
[How did you know that, Senia-san?] Yuna
Senia-san, you weren’t here.
[Mel told me.] Senia
[You borrowed a sword from Jade? He rarely lends me one either.] Toya
Toya, who had been depressed, sunk even further.
[But, you see, Jade-san’s sword is different from the one Toya used. Jade-san’s sword is simply better, you know?] Yuna
[Yeah, I know.] Toya
Why do I have to console Toya? That’s the job of Senia-san, who’s from the same party, right?
[Then, use the sword that Toya is using.] Senia
Senia-san! Why would you say such a thing? If I succeed, Toya will become even more depressed. It’s not like I’m going to fail on purpose.
[Toya. You can learn by watching Yuna’s movements and the tip of her sword. Of course, her physique and strength are different from Toya’s. But you can learn from her. I’m a knife user, so I can’t teach you. And you don’t want to rely on Jade too much either, don’t you?] Senia
I was about to refuse, but Senia-san explained the benefits to Toya in a serious tone. Toya looked up with a serious expression at Senia-san’s words.
[Watch and learn?...... I guess so. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to do it at this point. Well then, Miss, can you do me a favor?] Toya
Toya stood up and held out his mithril sword to me.
I couldn’t say no, so I accepted it. After stabbing the blunt sword into the ground, I borrowed the Mithril sword from Toya. Toya stood behind me and stared at the sword as if he’s concentrating.
I gripped the sword. It doesn’t feel heavy thanks to my bear gear, but it’s a little large. I take a swing and check my spacing.
