42 – Weak Laziness

I stopped in front of the cave where Maya lives.

Checking the device, the current time is 7:31 PM. It took exactly 2 hours and 30 minutes. You managed to cut 30 minutes off.

I took a deep breath and adjusted my magic.

‘I can think of many things I can do now that my physical abilities have increased.’

I am still far away from my previous life, but I am confident that I will steadily move forward.

The five years since I just swung my sword in the mountains have now been accomplished.

As I was organizing my thoughts, I looked at the entrance of the cave and saw Maya lying on the ground and moaning.

Maya was transformed into a human.

-Ugh…….

I approached Maya. I see Maya’s body turned black. A moan escaped from Maya’s parted lips.

My eyes are furrowed.

“…… What are you doing?”

– Sabu-nim… Please come…… !

Maya puts on a bright expression.

I didn’t answer and channeled magic into Maya’s body. My magical power that runs through Maya’s body. Most of Maya’s tendons and ligaments are severed.

Did you train until you reached this point? This is excessive training beyond the highest stimulation. Unnecessary stimulation. I immediately massaged Maya’s body with magic power, regenerated tendons and ligaments, and connected them.

I spoke to Maya at the same time.

“Why didn’t I use healing magic?”

-That’s… Sabu-nim told me not to overuse healing magic, hehehe.

“You are foolish.”

-Ji, I’ll use the healing magic now.

“Okay, is my kneading your body faster than healing magic? Don’t bother me.”

In my previous life, I touched countless bodies with magic.

Anything from a simple surgical operation to a rather complicated internal surgery is possible.

Chi-Chi-Chi.

The more my magical power went through her body, the better Maya’s skin color became.

It’s surprising. I thought Maya wouldn’t do the training I ordered because she had 『Attribute: Laziness』.

Of course, there is a difference between simply overtaxing the body and properly training. I intend to check this out.

Eventually, his body fully recovered, Maya squeezed and opened her hands several times. He seemed unable to believe his body was recovering.

– My body is light!

“Yes. Now get up and get into position. I’ll make sure you’ve trained properly.”

– Yep!

One by one, Maya counted and raised his body. After getting up as if to land, Maya bowed to me and raised his sword straight up.

Maya turns serious.

“Get started.”

– Yep!

At my command, Maya took a couple of deep breaths. There is a lot of energy going into your body as if you were nervous.

Maya paused for a moment, raising his sword above his head. Maybe because he was so nervous, he couldn’t start right away. Maya took several breaths, releasing her tension.

Before long, Maya stopped her breath and lowered her sword to cut her.

-Yap!

Hung!

The moment the sword fell, Maya used only the necessary amount of power, as if she had given it a lot of strength. Then the swordsmanship unfolded in turn. Long iridescent hair sways.

Hung! Whoo!

Large movements cause Maya’s weak muscles to twitch, but the overall shape is almost identical to the sword I unfurled yesterday.

A demonstration of a near-perfect sword.

It’s a basic swordsmanship, but at this level, it will overwhelm most knights.

‘Is it possible to reach this level in one day?’

I admit I underestimated Maya.

I thought it would take more than a week to reach this level.

I guess you can speed up the pace.

“It’s done.”

I stopped Maya’s sword demonstration. If so, you don’t need to look any further.

Maya stiffened her body and made a rather uneasy face.

– It’s okay… Did you?

“Yes. However, there are sections where her muscles can’t hold up when she makes big moves, so make sure to practice her sword now without missing a day.”

– Yep!

Maya became bright when I said ‘yes’. Maya with her eyes twinkling.

I gestured to Maya.

“I have something to check, so come back.”

I’m sure Maya has a laziness trait, but I wonder how she was able to abuse her body so much.

Maya trotted towards me.

– Master! I worked hard! I will work hard in the future!

“Yes. If you work hard, I will reward her.”

I heard from swordsmen in my previous life that a disciple needs a carrot and a stick.

If you work hard, it wouldn’t hurt to give a reward with the right motivation.

At the thought of giving me a prize, Maya opened her eyes so wide that she couldn’t grow any bigger, and she trembled.

-Okay…… !

“All right, she picks up the device and presses her scan button. I have something to check.”

– Yep!

Maya took my device in her tiny hands, pressed her scan, and handed it back to me.

Beep!

Devices that have been scanned.

I checked Maya’s status window.

Nameless has been changed to Maya, and laziness has been changed to weak laziness.

It is understandable that the name has changed, but it is unexpected that laziness has changed to weak laziness. Characteristics change depending on the situation and the person’s mindset, and I thought this could change in one day.

I put the device in my inner pocket. In any case, if laziness is weakened, it will help the student’s growth.

The reason is not important.

“I will start training right away, Maya. How much do you know about this forest?”

-Umm… It’s about knowing what’s in the forest.

“Then it would be quick. Bring me the Manticore before three hours pass.”

Manticore.

A lion with a human face.

Although he cannot use human language, he is a monster known for his cunning.

It lives in the Finmana Forest.

– Manticore.

Maya repeated the name of the monster as if she remembered it.

“Do you know what it is?”

-Yes. It’s a lion with a human face.

“Yes. Catch him using only swordsmanship. Do not use mind magic. However, you can use as much magic as you like.”

– Yes!

Maya clenched her sword and answered.

“In the meantime, I will be practicing swordsmanship in front of your cave. Come back in time.”

-I’ll be right back!

Many monsters live in Finmarna Forest.

The location of the forest is on the outskirts of the capital, but Earl Berman is out of reach due to the vast expanse of land connected to the undeveloped areas of the empire.

In order to develop this large area, we need to defeat the monster first, but it’s hard for Count Berman, whose castle is being taken over by a whelping dragon.

‘There are plenty of Maya opponents.’

The sword is to learn through actual combat. In a way, the Pinma or forest is probably the best environment for raising Maya.

‘I’ll probably catch a manticore.’

Originally, five regular knights rushed in and caught him, but Maya is a dragon.

A manticore will be frightened by the smell of a dragon.

I checked the thread of the covenant and pulled out the iron sword. While his physical ability has risen to D+, he intends to imitate the sword of Gaebyeok a little.

How far can it go?

Hooung!

I swung my sword.

– Master!

Maya appeared less than an hour after I swung the sword.

Maya scratched and soiled all over her body.

He carries a steel sword in his right hand and the tail of a large manticore in his left hand. The Manticore, which was supposed to be 3 meters in diameter, was dragged by the small Maya, who threw the Manticore’s body in front of the cave entrance.

-I got the manticore!

You caught it earlier than I thought.

I stopped swinging my sword and narrowed my eyes.

“You must have used swordsmanship properly, right?”

-Sure!

Confident Maya.

Although this guy has never lied to me yet.

You’ll need to check if you caught it with proper swordsmanship.

“I will check.”

I checked Manticore’s corpse. A lion with a human-like face, Manticore is correct.

The dead Manticore had dozens of sword marks on its belly. All traces of clean cuts by the sword. I looked at the marks on the corpse and figured out that Maya had killed the Manticore with proper swordsmanship.

“It’s quite good.”

– Good job Maya?

“Yes.”

-Then Sabu… Give me a prize!

It’s a prize.

I have a feeling it’s too early.

It’s okay to give Maya some motivation first.

“Good. What do you want mana? Or higher level swordsmanship?”

I have listed what a whelp might need.

Maya shook her head and sprinted towards me, pulling at my pants with her free sword hand.

-Please be kind!

“What is that?”

– You’re stroking my hair!

“Are you rewarded with just that?”

-Sure!

Hee hee, said Maya with a smile.

What a simple guy.

It’s a simple physical contact.

I raised my hand and put it on Maya’s head. His sweaty, rainbow-colored hair tickled his hand. I stroked Maya’s hair. The calloused hand goes back and forth through the delicate and voluminous top of her hair.

Maya closed her eyes and stood still.

As if savoring my hand.

– Sabunim.

“Yes.”

-Thank you.

A clear, youthful tone.

Maya looked down with her lightly open eyes and smiled slightly.
