Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 24.3

He was probably teasing me about my relationship with Araseli, but that time was necessary for my mental state. Besides, I wonder if Alberic is still a virgin.

No, I don’t think so, but he did glare at me when checking Rosetta’s treatment results.

Well, being royalty, he probably has someone to teach him these things, and it’s not my place to interfere.

Back at the dormitory, I tried to tell Araseli about today’s training and get her advice, but she was surprised.

“Are you receiving instruction from Lord Mauroni?”

“Yes, but is he that famous?”

“He’s called the ‘Sword of the Royal Family’ and was the former captain of the knight order.”

“I thought he was impressive since he was Alberic’s mentor, but is it really okay for someone like me to be taught by him?”

“Isn’t this a gesture of gratitude from Lord Alberic?”

“Is that so… But if he’s such an amazing person, I might feel intimidated.”

“However, it’s rare to receive instruction from Lord Mauroni. Since this is a valuable opportunity, let’s take full advantage of his guidance.”

“You’re right. It’s because Lord Alberic spoke on my behalf that I got this chance; if I had asked on my own, I doubt he would have even considered it.”

“No, I believe Lord Mauroni accepted because he knows about the Dorotheus incident. So, even if you had asked, I think he would have agreed.”

According to Araseli, Mauroni is said to be a formidable warrior comparable to Dorotheus. They are like opposites: calm and active, soft and hard.

Dorotheus’s special ability is body enhancement, but Mauroni’s ability is swordsmanship.

His skill in wielding a sword improves dramatically, and he can cut through iron rods with a saber.

These two, belonging to opposing factions, were often the subject of debates about who was stronger.

However, there was a twenty-year age difference between them, and people would say things like, “If Mauroni were ten years younger,” or “No, five years ago it would have been different.”

They were aware of each other, but due to the age difference and their faction affiliations, a serious duel between them never happened.

In the future, tales of “If only Dorotheus were still alive…” will likely continue to be told.

On the first floor of the dormitory I was using, there was a dance hall, so I decided to practice saber forms there.

At the same time, I planned to receive training from Araseli in unarmed combat.

At first, it’s just a stopgap measure, but with continued training, I should be able to learn how to use my body efficiently.

By ingraining the movements into my body, I’ll be able to act without freezing when the time comes.

“But the real effort starts tomorrow. Today, my arms are so sore that I’m worried if I’ll be able to move them properly tomorrow.”

“In that case, I’ll give you a massage later.”

Thanks to Araseli’s massage while I soaked in the bath, my sore right arm felt much better.

When I offered to return the favor, she got a bit angry, but in the end, I gave her a thorough massage.
