Shield Hero With Barrier Magic

(Author Note: Alright, let me clarify some things about the shield's copy skill. The Legendary shield copies another shield and gives it's own equip bonus. Like when Naofumi copied the Meteor Shield, he got Shooting Star Barrier as its bonus. The original Meteor shield didn't have that power. The legendary shield gave that power. For some reason, that thing decides the bonus for equipping it and equip skill.

And that world doesn't have a shield with skills (I guess). Anyway, the copy skill is useful at weaker monsters but it's useless against stronger enemies.

Most of you wanted him to use Maple's shield and that's obviously impossible. And others wanted Mash's shield. I don't see any practical use for it. Captain's shield is easier to handle than Mash's shield. Captain's shield can be thrown like a frisbee and more easy to use due to its circular shape and can come back to MC when he wishes to.

Anyway, the other suggestions are Sword Shield (which I already planned). Crossbow shield has a little problem as it has of the constraint of arrows. First, he can't hold an arrow with an intention to fight and loading it with arrows takes time and not a good thing as he is mainly a shielder.

So, the only shields that MC will be using are Sword Shield and Spike Shield and Captain America's Shield which would stop being useful after some time.

Anyway, Short chapter this time. )

Eclair: Would you like to try fighting before I start fighting, Hiro-dono?

Hiro: Alright.

I go forward into the grasslands and we decided to start from the beginning as I am a beginner. Anyway, the balloon monsters came towards me and I enhanced my Agility and turned the shield into an Iron shield. I punched one monster but it didn't do much. As expected, it will take 5 minutes to kill one with strength. Anyway, I let them bite me.

Eclair: Hiro-dono!

Hiro: Well, that didn't even hurt. Everything's fine Eclair. Looks like I have a tough body.

Eclair: Phew... You scared me, Hiro-dono.

I start flirting with a grin on my face. I can't see her face clearly as the armor is covering it but I can say that she is blushing now.

Eclair: T... This isn't time for flirting! Think about your training first!

I laughed and suddenly got an idea. I took a monster that's biting me with my hand and took the iron shield into the other hand and put the monster on the ground and smashed it with my shield.

Hiro: It worked!

I did the same thing with other monsters, I let them bite me, took them with my hand and smashed them on the ground with my shield. Eclair came to me after that. She also took the part of the armor that's covering her head as there is no one around us in these grasslands.

Eclair: Hahaha... You looked like a barbarian, Hiro-dono. Taking the monsters with hands and smashing them with the shield huh. I never thought the Legendary Shield will be used in this way.

Hiro: Well, at least I got a way to deal with weak monsters. They can't hurt me which is an advantage.

Eclair: Well, these monsters don't have a brain. but the others will try escaping if you depend on smashing alone. You also have to be fast like this.

Eclair unsheathed her sword and finished all the nearby monsters in a flash.

Eclair: It's better to keep hunting weaker monsters and keep training ourselves. You are still at a disadvantage with stronger monsters in your current state, Hiro-dono.

Hiro: That's the reason I have you, don't I? You can do the killing work while I keep protecting you. As my personal Female Knight.

The moment I said that Eclair's eyes became wide and her cheeks became flushed. She started smiling a little bit afterward.

Eclair: I am not a Knight anymore, Hiro-dono.

Hiro: Well, it doesn't matter. For me, you are My Beautiful Female Knight.

She blushed even more. Cute.

Eclair: S... Stop saying cheesy lines!

She covered her head by putting on the part which she took off.

Hiro: No one is around, you can take that off.

Eclair: W... We can't be sure!

Yeah, you are saying it like we are in a forest. I laugh and gather the monster materials of the monsters that were killed and put the material in the orb of the shield. And I put some more in the shield.

Eclair: It looks like there is no limit to how much it can absorb.

Hiro: Fodder for upgrading the shield huh.

I put some more and I get a notification that the Orange Shield got unlocked.

Hiro: Orange Shield.

And the shield transforms into the Orange Shield.

Eclair: What's that? You didn't copy this type of shield at Uncle's shop.

Hiro: It's from the Orange balloons. It looks like the Shield unlocks more Shields with the materials it absorbs. But an Iron Shield is better than this Shield.

Eclair: It means that you need High-Level monsters to get more useful Shields.

Eclair: You can sell them, Hiro-dono.

Hiro: So, we need to act like any other adventurer, huh. Alright, that's enough information and training for today, let's go back and sell these things.

Eclair: Yes, Hiro-dono.

Hiro: I will hide my shield and sell them as a normal adventurer. I will take your sword to make sure that he won't doubt me of not having a weapon. You can stay hidden. That would be better for now.

Eclair: Alright.

And we went to a merchant shop and I sold the materials claiming that I am a rookie who just started but also implied that I know the price and I will find another shop if he didn't give it for that price. So, he finally gave in and gave the materials for a fair price.
