Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 24.1

The procedure to remove the bruise from the First Prince Alberic is progressing without issues.

We are getting used to the new treatment pattern, gradually increasing the pace, and it seems that the hair on the scalp where the pigment was removed is returning to blonde.

I believe it’s because the pigment in the melanocytes within the scalp was removed, but I don’t understand the exact mechanism.

Even if I don’t understand the mechanism, the result of having blonde hair is what matters.

So far, only the roots are slightly turning blonde, and we don’t know if it matches the original blonde color.

Well, for hair, there are methods like bleaching and dyeing, so for now, we are focusing on pigment removal from the skin.

On the sixth day, the training for the severing transfer magic finally began, but the content was unexpected.

That day, when I visited Alberic’s room at the usual time, he invited me to the courtyard and introduced me to an old knight.

“This man is Mauroni, my martial arts instructor.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Mauroni, with more white hair than dark brown, had a physique similar to that of an average person rather than being muscular like Dorotheus.

At first glance, he looked like a retired former knight, but I bowed my head respectfully.

He slightly loosened his lips.

“Do you think an old man like me is unreliable?”

“I don’t have the skills to teach His Highness martial arts, nor have I ever learned martial arts, so I don’t have the right to judge others.”

“I see… as His Highness said, you seem to be an interesting person.”

“Indeed. Despite being caught up in an involuntary summoning and experiencing setbacks, you haven’t neglected your efforts to adapt. By chance, you even managed to defeat Dorotheus. Yuto still hasn’t shown his full potential.”

Even though I can remove the curse mark of the Azure Darkness, Alberic overestimates me.

“Now then, let’s see what kind of person you are right away…”

Mauroni stepped towards me, and his right hand moved like lightning, but I stood still, unable to react at all.

The saber at his waist swiftly drew from its sheath, passing in front of my eyes several times, but I couldn’t follow it with my eyes and even forgot to breathe.

I only managed to exhale the breath I had held after the faint sound of the saber being sheathed.

“H-how many times was I killed…?”

“Hehe, eight times.”

In other words, the saber had made four round trips in front of my eyes.

This is unbelievable… I want to praise myself for not wetting my pants.

“I couldn’t see it at all.”

“Of course not. If someone without any training or preparation could see it, I wouldn’t be fit to be His Highness’s martial arts instructor.”

“I have seen your skills, Mauroni, but isn’t my training supposed to be for magic?”

It was Alberic, not Mauroni, who answered my question.

“I will answer that question. Yuto, who are the opponents you will fight against?”
“Opponents…?”

“Yes, in a fight, there is always an opponent. If it’s a monster, you can cut it down. If it’s a mage, you can just cast magic first. The most difficult opponents to neutralize are martial artists.”

In this world, unlike Japan, carrying swords and the like is normal.

When I was attacked by classmates in the city, they could approach with swords because others also had swords.

It would be difficult to defend against someone like Mauroni, who might suddenly draw a sword.
