Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

After Brunhilde found out about this, she thoughtfully prepared a very scientific and efficient training menu for Sieg - there was actually no problem up to this point.

After all, [1000 sets of 20-meter round-trip sprints every morning], [100 simulated combat trainings], [3 hours of fixed-target gun shooting practice], [3 hours of anti-strike training]... although there are many training items, they are all really good for him. Even if he sweats every day, Zigg feels it's good.

The problem is…the course of knowledge learning, which is reading books.

[Sorry, no]

[In order to better slay dragons, Sir Sieg needs to possess not only excellent combat abilities, but also rich knowledge and wisdom.]

Brunhilde shook her head.

[Lord Sieg already has relatively sufficient combat power, but on the contrary, he is seriously behind in knowledge - today please continue to try to fully master addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within two digits, especially the multiplication table. You have been memorizing it for two days, but you still can't get it all right.]

[After today's repair work is completed, I will prepare a simple test paper for testing, please be prepared]

"Uh... another homework assignment?"

Cold sweat broke out on Sieg's forehead.

"Well, at least use a language I can understand. I really don't understand those twisted characters..."

[Those are the most basic digital symbols]

"Goo..."

Learn.

This was a very difficult thing for Sieg. Although he could not be said to be completely illiterate, he had basic literacy skills, but this was not something he learned after school, but something he memorized purely from memory. If he had to say, he could actually be said to have graduated from prenatal education?

Therefore, after realizing that Sieg did not recognize the words inside the Kreinhild at all, Brunhild assigned him the task of reading. Coincidentally, there was a library inside the Kreinhild, which was filled with books collected by former contractors from various planets.

[Lord Sieg, I once heard a saying on a certain planet: It is never too late to start learning. Even if your knowledge level is not as good as that of a seven-year-old child on some planets, I believe you can make up for this deficiency through hard work.]

"...Is my intelligence so terrible?"

【some】

The overly straightforward comment made Sieg feel his chest twitch.

[Then I will continue to repair the Crimsheed now, please——hmm? ]

"What's wrong? Miss Brunhilde."

Seeing Brunhilde standing there in a daze as she stood up to leave, Sieg asked curiously.

[It is sensed that a life form is approaching rapidly. This is the analysis result of the Dragon Slayer System and the observation image of the Clinshid. 】

Brunhilde waved her hands in the air, and a screen of light suddenly appeared. On the screen, there was a person moving very fast, and it seemed that there was a little lightning? He was not very tall.

Looking at this figure, Sieg couldn't help but smile bitterly after being stunned for a moment.

"Tsk, why did this guy come here again?"

[Is he an acquaintance of Sieg-sama? ]

"No, it's just... bad fate." Sieg scratched his hair. "Ms. Brunhilde, you should continue to repair the Klinghild. Today's training will be suspended. I will go out and deal with this guy. I will probably be back in the evening."

[Okay, have a nice trip, Master Sieg]

8. The ill-fated relationship between Sieg and Kamui

In the forest where the Crainsheed was hiding.

"Shuala la~~~"

Along with the sound of swaying branches, the sound of someone's quick and hurried footsteps was heard in the silent forest, accompanied by bursts of thunder.

Then, in the dense forest, a figure suddenly rushed out with lightning and landed heavily on the ground.

"Is this the place? The place where the meteor fell before."

The figure looked around and muttered to himself.

"But why is there nothing? I've searched the entire forest, but I can't find a meteor, or even a lower-rank dragon! I'll kill those bastards who told me this information!"

As if annoyed at having made a wasted trip, the slightly short figure stomped his feet in annoyance, lightning flashed around him, and he destroyed the surrounding forest without a care in the world.

But the next moment, as if sensing something, the short figure looked towards a certain part of the forest: "Who? Sneaky ass, come out."

"...Have you not changed your bad habit of flirting all the time, little dwarf?"

With a helpless look on his face, Sieg jumped down from a tree holding a silver sword: "By the way, you are still alive? I haven't heard from you for half a year, I thought you were finally dead."

“Sizzle——!”

As soon as Sieg finished speaking, a beam of lightning suddenly shot towards his forehead! The distance between the two was less than ten meters, and the lightning had already reached Sieg's eyes in an instant. But as if he had expected to be electrocuted, he turned his head in advance to avoid the sneak attack. Sieg snapped his fingers in annoyance, and a cluster of flames ignited on the spot, and then turned into a ball of explosive flames against the wind and smashed forward.

"boom!"

The flames engulfed the small figure in an instant.

But before the flames could spread, the lightning that shot up into the sky tore through the flames. The figure surrounded by lightning frowned and cursed at this moment: "Even if you die, I won't die! It's really bad luck. I didn't expect to run into you, a dead red-haired guy, when I came here. Why haven't you died yet?"

"I won't die even if you die - long time no see, Kamui, it's a pity that you didn't lose any limbs. What's even more regrettable is that I didn't expect to face your stinky face when I woke up. The beautiful day ended when I saw you."

"I'm going to return this sentence to you exactly as it was! You red-haired guy who is only fit to boil water!"

The boy whom Sieg called "God's Might" raised his middle finger to Sieg with an unhappy look on his face.

Shenwei - full name [Walter Shenwei], is one of the few people in this world that Sieg can communicate with, or in other words, the only one besides Brunhilde. But as he said, Sieg and Shenwei can never be called [friends] or [partners]. If you have to say it, it can only be described as [bad fate].

The two first met in the summer four years ago. While chasing the same dragon, Sieg and Kamui met by chance. Then, in order to compete for the ownership of the lower-level dragon, and because Kamui had a bad temper, the two of them started fighting.

The result ended in a draw between the two, and since then, the two have had an ill-fated relationship. Even though they have only met twice in the past four years, they would fight each other for various reasons every time.

Thanks to this, the two reluctantly learned some things about each other, such as each other's birth and past.

Just like Sieg who had been losing his family and place to stay since he was a child, Kamui also lost his family and place to stay when he was born. His mother was electrocuted after giving birth to him, and the people around him had no intention of accepting him as an alien. Therefore, Kamui began a wandering life like Sieg when he was very young.

In this sense, the two are of the same kind.

They had been losing things since they were little, and they started killing and eating dragons to make a living, and they even learned some special abilities somehow - there were too many similarities between the two, but the difference was that Sieg took the initiative to stay away from the crowd, while Kamui left the crowd half-voluntarily and half-forced.

"Humph."

Ziggy snorted.

"If my flame is only good for boiling water, then your lightning can't even be used to grill meat. All you produced was charcoal."

"Ah? How good can the half-cooked meat cooked by your tepid flame be? I felt uncomfortable the whole day after eating it!"

"I ate your coke despite feeling nauseous, but I still vomited all night!"

"You dead red-haired guy, are you still disgusted?"

"You have an opinion, you little dwarf? Are you allowed to dislike me?"

The two of them glared at each other with extreme disgust and dissatisfaction. There seemed to be sparks flashing where their eyes met, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly spread.

This is also the daily life between the two. Because of the grudge they had when they first met, they would start quarreling every time they met afterwards. Both Sieg and Shenwei were illiterate and had not read much. Sieg was better, but Shenwei really had not read any books at all.

Therefore, the quarrels between the two were at most childish quarrels between eight or nine-year-old children. Similarly, since he was slightly inferior to Sieg in terms of culture, Shenwei, who was at a loss for words, was often the first one to lose defense.

"You said I'm short again... I'm so tall, what a big deal! You red-haired bastard!"

His eyes flashed, and lightning burst out from the whole body of Kamui, who had the same eyes as a dragon.

"Don't you ever think about who is the first to fall down? Your mouth is the only thing that's tough on you!"

"I think you are the only one who is tough, your mouth!"

"Tear you apart!"

“Give it a try!”

Zidong————————!

The next moment, the childish quarrel escalated into a meaningless fight.

Like Sieg who can control fire, Kamui also has his own special ability, which seems to be the control of lightning - in just a moment, Kamui wrapped in lightning has arrived in front of Sieg, and his fist carrying lightning smashed down at a great speed!

"Boom!"

He used the silver sword to block the thunder fist that was heading towards his head. The silver energy contained in the sword immediately froze a part of the violent lightning. Raising his right fist that was already burning with flames, Sieg directly used his flaming fist to counter the thunder fist!

"Crack————!"

The frozen lightning was shattered, and the scorching impact caused Shenwei, who was in the air with nowhere to get support, to fly backwards immediately!

Landing on the ground nimbly, Shenwei shook his burning hands: "You... seem to have become a little stronger?"

"I haven't lost my interest to the dwarf."

"You're the dwarf!"

"Are you blind and can't you see that I'm a head taller than you?"

Zip!

Boom!

Lightning and flames flew everywhere.

These two alien species that were different from humans and had always disliked each other started a childish quarrel in the deep mountains and forests as if no one was around.

9. Dragon's Lair: Hell Valley

Sieg didn't know how long he had fought with Kamui, he only knew that when he came to his senses, he was already lying under the moonlight.

There was a guy with a very arrogant and stinky face lying next to him.

"woke up?"

Realizing that Sieg had woken up, Shenwei pulled up a smug smile and said, "I woke up earlier than you. I woke up before the sun set. You rookie, now you know who's the boss, right?"

"...What's this brat saying when his hair hasn't even grown out yet? "

Staring at him weakly, Sieg struggled to stand up: "I didn't even have breakfast before I fought you, is there anything wrong with sleeping a little longer to conserve my energy?"

"Tsk, anyway, I won again this time, you can't cheat no matter how hard you try." Shenwei looked smug, "You're six years older than me and you're still this weak, isn't that embarrassing?"

"Tsk..."

Even though he was being tough, Sieg had no way of refutation about the fact that he was not as good as Kamui.

In the past few years since they met, every time a quarrel turned into a real fight, Shenwei always won. Although he was six years younger than Sieg, his strength was insanely strong. There were even a few times when Sieg finally managed to match him, but he was able to break through temporarily and become even more powerful.

So much so that every time Sieg is the loser.

"However, compared to last time, you are really much better."

Suddenly, Shenwei changed the subject: "Finally, I felt alive when fighting you. It seems that you haven't just been dealing with small fry during this period. This is more like it. If you were left far behind by me, I would kill you at the first opportunity."

"...could you please stop being so gross all of a sudden?"

Zigg shuddered a little, "I've just been exercising recently, the basic kind, long-distance sprints and the like."

"Ah? That's it?" Shenwei frowned. "I thought you killed the middle dragon and even Jackie Chan. But this is it?"

"Middle-level dragons are fine, but Jackie Chan, you overestimate me."

There are three types of dragons: lower dragons, middle dragons, and upper dragons.

Among them, the lower dragon is the weakest, and the middle dragon is the lower dragon that has grown. And if the middle dragon is not killed for a long time, or even starts to grow, it will eventually become a dragon, and can use a variety of magic. It is said that it takes dozens of first-class dragon hunters to kill it.

Sieg didn't think he could kill Jackie Chan since he would be in a tough fight against multiple lower-level dragons.

As for the upper dragon... Sieg hadn't even seen its shadow in the past few years, and before that he had only heard about it from other dragon hunters.

"A guy with no ambition."

After kicking Zigg coldly, Shenwei also sat up from the ground: "Forget it, it doesn't matter. I originally wanted to ask you to go with me, but now it seems better for me to go alone. But meeting you was just an accident, and coming here is just a coincidence."

"Hmm? Are you going somewhere to do something? That's rare. Aren't you always free to do whatever you want?"

Like Sieg, Kamui is a wanderer on this land.

In order to survive, they constantly killed and ate dragons, and even Shenwei was even more extreme, he even killed those humans who were hostile to him, while Sieg never killed anyone. Sieg couldn't comment on Shenwei's behavior, after all, he had never encountered any evil people who plotted against him, and he had always deliberately avoided human settlements.

But Shenwei is different, he can go wherever he wants, like a lawless evil boy.
