After practicing two-handed swords diligently for a period of time, Linsel also paid attention to the training progress of other students in his spare time.

Apart from a few others who, like him, used scarecrows for practice, most trainees were currently engaged in paired simulated battles, using swords and shields, with most weapons being weapons of war.

Only one student used a two-handed weapon, Tovan, who was also using a two-handed wooden sword and practicing striking another student's shield.

The round-faced Tovan noticed that Linsset glanced at him and suddenly became interested.

"Hey kid, what are you looking at? Want to practice together?"

Linsel had just finished practicing with a two-handed sword for a while and was already familiar with the basic sword techniques. He was also getting a little tired of the scarecrow.

"Then let's practice."

Lindsay picked up a two-handed wooden sword from a nearby shelf, and the two went to the center of the arena, which was relatively far from the others.

Linsley opened the panel and checked the other party's information.

[Tovan, Human, Level 3 Warrior, Health: 80/800, Armor: 50/50 (Sturdy Vest)]

His profession is a level 3 warrior, and his strength is decent.

Seeing Linse standing silently, Tovan, holding his sword, slowly said, "Among the instructors, besides myself, you are one of only two who practice two-handed swordsmanship. I don't know where you got this set of heavy armor to intimidate people, but what, are you planning to fight me while wearing this heavy armor?"

Linsel then noticed that he had been wearing heavy scale armor and a wolf-head helmet throughout the entire training session. He had long been accustomed to wearing armor in his daily life and battles, and now he had even forgotten about the heavy armor while training in the training camp.

Logically speaking, after swinging the two-handed sword so many times, I should feel hot even if I'm not tired, but I don't feel it at all. My body is really becoming more and more peculiar and stronger.

"Of course not. I'll take off my heavy armor and spar with you. We'll just touch each other and stop when we're done. Is that alright?"

Tovan glanced at Linsset, who was removing his armor, and then answered casually.

"Of course, they're all using wooden weapons. At most, they'll beat you so badly you can't get out of bed, but I'll give you some face."

"Oh? You're already sure you can win?"

"Of course," Tovan said dismissively, brandishing his wooden greatsword. "I've been practicing swordsmanship under professional guidance since I was a child, so dealing with a country bumpkin like you is a piece of cake."

Tovan's arrogance attracted the attention of many people around him. Adventurers in the arena began to gather around the two of them, and even some of the students under old Tot abandoned their intense training to watch the upcoming simulated battle.

"Look, isn't that 'Round Face' Tovan? He's one of the few Bronze-level adventurers who uses a two-handed sword."

"Yes, it's rare to see a duel between two greatswords, and it's even happening in our Wind and City."

"It's said that Tofan's swordsmanship was taught by 'Mad Sword,' a swordsman apprentice of the current king. He's no ordinary swordsman!"

"Who is that bronze-level adventurer on the other side...? He looks like the 'Wolf Slayer.' This is going to be interesting!"

The crowd grew denser and denser. Thanks to the upcoming tournament, there were also many adventurers in the camp, and they gradually formed a loose circle of people.

"It seems many people are quite interested in our simulation battle." The adventurer, whose title was "Round Face," stretched his arms and legs, wielding his sword with both hands in an aggressive stance.

"Broken Arrow" and "Phantom" also squeezed into the front of the crowd at this time.

"Captain, you'll win! Claire and I are cheering for you!"

Linsset had by then removed his helmet and armor, and was only wearing a linen garment.

He also raised the wooden greatsword with both hands, recalling the feel of his previous practice and anticipating his opponent's possible moves.

I've already mastered the basic two-handed swordsmanship quite well, and it's easy for me to deal with monsters that don't have much intelligence. But I'm not sure what my chances are against a real person who also uses a two-handed sword.

However, he was still very confident in himself, after all, he still had the monster's ability as a backup.

Putting everything else aside, the [Danger Perception] ability alone allows you to easily dodge an opponent's attack, thus creating more opportunities for yourself to attack.

Of course, he wouldn't unleash monster abilities unrelated to two-handed sword practice, or abilities that would reveal his own skills, such as fire arrows and smoke. This was mostly just a contest based on the two people's weapon specializations.

The old instructor was also drawn by the commotion. When he learned that it was two of his students conducting a simulated battle, he revealed a rather intriguing expression.

"Not bad, a simulated battle using two-handed swords. Let me see what battles between lower-level adventurers are like."

Seeing that the atmosphere around him was already heated and that the two of them were ready, Thoth loudly gave the opening slogan.

"start!"

The moment he heard the old instructor's order, Tovan moved first, charging straight toward Linse, seemingly quite recklessly.

Linssey was not going to underestimate this charge. His opponent was at least a level 3 warrior, and such an attack could not be a simple, brute-force assault.

Sure enough, just as "Round Face" rushed to within half the distance between them, he raised his wooden greatsword first, and at the same time, his body attacked with a gust of air that Linsel could feel.

Is this a combat technique? Let's test this attack and see how effective it is.

Following the defensive principles of two-handed swords, Linsel routinely placed the wooden greatsword in front of him to defend.

Suddenly, "Danger Sense" began to alert me that the next attack from the other side was extremely aggressive.

He immediately realized that with his current skill level, he couldn't continue to try to take the hits head-on.

If you're using a one-handed sword and have a shield, you can raise it to block. If you don't have a shield, you can use the agility of the sword to dodge to the side and take the opportunity to retaliate against this "round-faced" opponent.

However, the method of fighting with a two-handed sword is obviously different. Following the small sword's approach, he hurriedly dodged to the side.

Tovan rushed in front of him, his greatsword already slashing down. Linsset's sword remained in a parrying stance, while his body dodged halfway to the side.

The friction between the greatswords neutralized the force of the impact, causing both of them to lose their balance.

Linsel immediately steadied himself, while Tovan staggered forward a few steps, and before he could even regain his footing, the wooden greatsword was casually swung diagonally toward Linsel.

With a soft thud, this time it was swords clashing, and Linssey completely blocked the attack.

"Good!!!" "Broken Arrow" took the lead in cheering when he saw this.

The other onlookers also began to cheer.

Tofan sheathed his sword and stood up straight: "Your skill is not bad. We're even, how about it?"

Lindsay was somewhat bewildered by the other party's sudden request.

"Hmm? It's a tie already? I haven't even started my attack yet!"
