Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

Is learning a professional skill really that easy?

This thought involuntarily crossed Leo's mind.

But the next moment, he rejected the idea himself.

If learning professional skills were truly that easy, the dwarf Hassen and the elf girl wouldn't have reacted that way to his desire to learn professional skills tonight.

Learning professional skills is bound to be a very difficult thing.

If that's the case, there's only one possibility left for how quickly I learned the skill.

"—The Primordial Mirror!"

Leo seemed thoughtful:

"I've seen Captain Goblin's throwing skills and the elf Cecilia's precise shooting before, but I haven't learned the corresponding job skills."

"...It must be that others need to have the idea of ​​'teaching' the skill and demonstrate it completely before the Primordial Mirror can directly 'imprint' or, rather, 'reflect' it?"

"Furthermore, this skill that is 'reflected' is not even at level 1 yet, it's only at level 0, so it can't be considered truly mastered yet. I need to continue practicing it later."

With his thoughts in turmoil, Leo turned his attention back to Captain Gomez in front of him.

After giving a brief explanation of the [Slash] move, he began to demonstrate the second skill, [Slide].

"The 'slide step' is a technique for dodging in a small area. Mastering it will allow you to avoid damage as much as possible when you are ambushed..."

Leo listened attentively, and after a moment, as he expected, the skill was "reflected" in the skill bar.

-

【Slide Step lv.0】: A footwork technique to avoid fatal damage with minimal cost in muddy, rugged battlefields or forests.

Current experience: 0/10

-

"Perfect!"

Leo couldn't help but mentally clench his fist.

"Being able to learn [Slash] and [Slide] already qualifies one as a competent adventurer."

"Based on this, if one can train to the 'proficiency' level, one can be considered a 'prospective professional'."

After demonstrating the two professional skills, Captain Goblin stopped and turned to walk towards the campfire.

"Captain," Leo called out to him, somewhat embarrassed, "Do you have any spare weapons that you don't need for the time being?"

"I just finished watching the demonstration, and I want to try it out myself."

Captain Ge Mie was not surprised by this.

Every newcomer to a professional skill always fantasizes about mastering the skill in a short period of time.

But reality is often cruel...

But he didn't offer any advice, because he had been through that stage himself and knew that the best advice was to let the newcomers try it themselves and clearly feel the difference.

"for you."

Captain Gomezan took a sheathed iron sword from his baggage and tossed it to Leo, then left it at that.

Leo caught the iron sword.

Slightly heavy to start with.

The entire sword, including the scabbard, weighs about three kilograms.

It's not heavy, but it's not light either.

With Leo's current physical condition, he is not capable of engaging in combat for an extended period of time.

To use a weapon effectively, one often needs strength that is dozens of times its own weight.

However, it's fine to take breaks during training.

The cool hilt of the sword gave him a truly tangible feeling. Leo took a deep breath and stood in the open space to begin his practice.

He practiced the [Slash] skill first.

The moment the Primordial Mirror "reflected" the skill, the specific execution process of the skill appeared in Leo's mind.

Now, all he needs to do is imitate this process over and over again until he has completely mastered it.

"call--"

The iron sword pierced the air, but this time, his movements were stiff and his posture was uncoordinated in many ways.

Failed.

But Leo was not discouraged.

Because, on the panel, the proficiency level next to the [Slash] skill changed from "0/10" to "1/10".

The tangible manifestation of progress inspired Leo.

On the other side, Captain Songmie, sitting by the campfire, glanced at Leo practicing, shook his head slightly, and then looked at the dwarf Hassen beside him: "I'm going to rest first. In four hours, it'll be my turn to keep watch."

"Go and rest, Captain. You single-handedly defeated a monster horde led by an elite goblin today. You must be exhausted. Leave the night watch to Cecilia and me."

The dwarf Hassen patted his muscular chest and hummed.

"Yes, Captain," Cecilia the elf said softly. "Leave it to us."

"...Okay." Captain Goku didn't insist, nodded, and paused just before crawling into the temporary tent: "Keep an eye on Leo."

"clear."

Hearing their response, he then crawled into the tent.

Cecilia sat by the campfire, lightly poking at the embers with a thin stick, stirring up tiny sparks. "Short potato," she said, "how long do you think that idiot young master can hold out?"

"I think he'll be exhausted in less than half an hour."

"Tomorrow, his arms and legs will be so sore that he will have difficulty walking... Ugh, when he can't walk, we will have to carry him on our backs. What a hassle."

"Can't he just rest quietly like little Fuma? He's such a bother!"

Not far away, a girl named Fuma was hugging her knees, staring blankly at the campfire, looking obedient and endearing.

Faced with his companion's complaints, the dwarf Hassan smiled and said, "Didn't we once share the same enthusiasm?"

"Newcomers should be given a chance to try."

"I know, I was just saying a few words." The elf Cecilia sighed, her small wooden sticks barely moving as she struck the campfire.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Leo at the edge of the campfire not far away.

Since she had promised the captain to take good care of that foolish young master, she would carry it out without any compromise, even though she wasn't very happy about it.

Once, in her most desperate and helpless moment, it was the captain who, with his own flesh and blood, carried her little by little out of that "devil's den"...

Therefore, she would never break her promise to the captain.

But as she watched, Cecilia's eyes suddenly turned somewhat surprised and suspicious.

Under her watchful eye, each of Leo's chop movements became more precise, powerful, and accurate than the last.

She doesn't know how to "chop" (or "slash"), so she doesn't know how to describe it specifically, but she feels that Leo's movements are becoming more and more "smooth".

"Hey short potato, come take a look."

After looking for a while longer and confirming that it wasn't her imagination, Cecilia quickly whispered to the dwarf, asking him to take a look as well.

The dwarf Hassen looked over in confusion, but his pupils contracted slightly at just one glance.

"This is?!"

As a shield guard, although he also hadn't learned the [slash] technique, there were many similarities in melee combat, so he saw things more clearly than Cecilia.

Leo's last slash was so fluid, it was just like someone who had truly mastered the art of slashing!

How long has it been? He actually learned the professional skill [Slash]?

Where did this genius monster come from?
