Chapter 381

Conditions for Master Class.

When you reach the extreme level of active magic enhancement that allows you to enhance the object you are holding with magic, you become a Master Class.

So, let's go back to our original question.

In the end, it is true that enhancing the magic of the sergeant's equipment meets the conditions.

As if understanding our questions, Tana clenched her fist.

"Master classes who specialize in close combat may be rare, but they exist. They are those who can do this."

She extends her hand with magic.

-Kurung!

If hit by the short-lived blue magic from her palm, it is certain that it will be shattered to pieces.

"This is not just using the protective power of magic in the body, but it is the limit of magic usage in that it is emitted and exploded shortly. Of course, they also use a method of emitting magic itself. From here, their paths diverge completely."

The explanation of the master class of close combat was for those who have surpassed the stage of using magic protection only for magic enhancement.

The training methods of a fighter and a sword master are different.

In other words, it was a story that they trained to somehow enhance the magic of the sergeant's equipment and pursue the limit of magic enhancement through martial arts, which was a different genre.

Ellen looked puzzled.

"Did the teacher train in both?"

While Tana was using the Aurora Blade, she showed one of the martial arts techniques that the master of martial arts had just shown.

Tana's face turned slightly red at the mention of training in completely different paths.

"Um... no, I only trained with a sword. Of course, I am familiar with other sergeant equipment such as spears and bows, but my knowledge of martial arts is relatively shallow."

"Then how did you do that just now?"

"...."

She trembled her lips with a slightly red face.

"When you reach a certain extreme, you can understand other fields to some extent...."

I'm a great grandmaster, so I can do things I don't even know.

I'm stuttering because I can't say that.

Come to think of it, Tana said she was not familiar with teaching someone. So even though she was working as a supervisor at the temple, teaching was a very unfamiliar job for her.

"You're amazing."

"...."

Seeing the sight of Savioline Tana's face about to burst into red at Ellen's honest admiration was also quite interesting.

"It's interesting to hear what I heard from the teachers at the temple again from you students at the temple...."

She finally let out a wry smile and took a deep breath.

"What I want to say is that you have become familiar with using magic enhancement for the purpose of improving protective power, so now you need to move on to the next level. And whether you are a fighter or using sergeant equipment, training to enhance the autonomy of magic enhancement is common." Summary of previous part of chapter only for context: In this chapter, the concept of becoming a Master Class is explained. When a person reaches an extreme level of active magic enhancement that allows them to enhance the object they are holding with magic, they become a Master Class. Tana explains that Master classes who specialize in close combat may be rare, but they exist. They are those who can emit and explode magic shortly, which is the limit of magic usage. The explanation of the master class of close combat was for those who have surpassed the stage of using magic protection only for magic enhancement. The training methods of a fighter and a sword master are different. Tana explains that they trained to enhance the magic of the sergeant's equipment and pursue the limit of magic enhancement through martial arts, which was a different genre. Ellen asks if the teacher trained in both, but Tana explains that she only trained with a sword. However, when a person reaches a certain extreme, they can understand other fields to some extent. Tana advises that they need to move on to the next level and enhance the autonomy of magic enhancement, which is common for both fighters and those using sergeant equipment.

Translated text: Until now, we have only used magic enhancement to increase physical strength and the strength of our bodies. But now, we must also learn how to use magic aggressively. We need to learn how to turn the armor of magic that protected our bodies into a spear. And if we pursue this to the extreme, we will be able to enhance the sergeant's equipment with magic, and when we reach that level, we will naturally become a Master Class. However, even if we are special, we cannot become a sword master within a few days. Therefore, Tana originally told Ellen that she would teach her how to fight against a sword master, not how to become one. Sword masters cannot be defeated by ordinary people, those who have learned martial arts, or even those who know how to enhance magic. Most attack magic can be blocked by magic protection, and effective magic can be used to kill the opposing magician before the casting time is even complete, either at close range or at a distance where the magic cannot reach. Therefore, the best way is to ambush them. Even if they are Master Class, they cannot maintain magic enhancement at all times, and there will always be a moment when they become defenseless. Tana's advice was more important than I had thought. There were more people who died from assassination than those who died honorably in battle among the many Master Classes in history. If we cannot escape, we should surrender rather than fight back. Surrendering is better than trying to fight back because there is a higher chance of survival relying on the mercy of the enemy. If the opponent is someone who will not spare our lives, then what should we do? This time it was my question. In summary, Tana advises on how to fight against a sword master, suggesting ambush, surrender, or using obstacles, noise, and fire to gain an advantage. She emphasizes that becoming a sword master takes time and training, and surrendering may be the best option in some situations. Tana also warns against directly attacking a sword master and advises avoiding their sword strikes. "It's not advisable to attack. The moment you try to stab the enemy's neck, thinking you've hit the mark, your wrist will twist or be thrown back due to the recoil. In the end, the focus should be on running away and not trying to confront them. That's the advice for a typical situation. Cliffman and Rudvich were sent away because there was no point in them hearing this advice. Of course, it was also to hide the fact that you guys are the possessors of the relics. As you both have a relic in the form of a sword, just becoming sharp is not the problem. As you experienced, just colliding with Ora Blade caused Lament to bounce back. If it was an ordinary sword, it would have been shattered just by colliding with the surface of Ora Blade. Ora Blade is a powerful weapon in itself and an enchantment that cannot be compared to any magic. Unless it is made of a very hard material or has a powerful magical protection, there is no sword that can withstand a direct confrontation with Ora Blade. It's not just about becoming sharp. Depending on the ability of the Ora Blade user, they can give a powerful recoil shock by exploding the magic power embedded in the sword when it collides with another sword. Unless you have a very powerful magical weapon or relic, you cannot even compete with a master class. However, it's just a story that you can withstand it to some extent. The moment you try to confront the sword head-on, a gap will be created due to the recoil, and that will be the end of it. Ellen, I said that to you, but the situation may be different for Reinhardt. Different? Assuming that you can use the sanctity of Tiamat. If you apply sanctity to your sword, it will protect you and Tiamat considerably from the recoil of Ora Blade. It means that the influence of the immense destructive power of Ora Blade will be reduced a little. Although I didn't face Ora Blade, I knew what Tana was talking about. In reality, I was able to withstand a few hits from the monster-like attack of Leberier Lanche, which was also enhanced with sanctity on my sword. Leberier Lanche was not a sword master, but I didn't think he was inferior to a sword master. After all, even the universal sword masters are not monsters that can survive even if their hearts are pierced." "I was able to face him partly because of external conditions, but the sanctity of Tiamat itself was also a great help. Dealing with the Ora Blade. I can handle it to some extent. Assuming that you can use the sanctity, you can withstand the clash of the Ora Blade. And Ellen. Yes. "Lament can penetrate the magical protection of a sword master. Of course, stabbing is more likely." A sword that is no different from the Ora Blade, which has the sharpness of the Ora Blade at a passive level. Ellen cannot control it herself, so it is impossible to use it freely like Sabioline Tana's all-purpose Ora Blade. But its sharpness and cutting power are overwhelming. "If you are together in that situation, you are more likely to survive." Tiamat can withstand it, but cannot kill, and Lament cannot withstand it, but can kill. Ellen stabs while I withstand. If we are not together, we cannot fight the master class. "If you are not together, Reinhardt, you should withstand the attack as much as possible, block the enemy's sight, and manage the situation before running away." "Ellen, you too. The opponent you are watching will not show you any gaps. If you try to stab awkwardly, you will be hit. So, watch the enemy's sword well and avoid it, and inflict a slight injury rather than a fatal one, or make the enemy aware that your sword is a threat. The enemy will be confused, and then you can buy time to escape." In the end, Tana's conclusion was not to even think about facing a sword master if they are not together.
