Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

The cultivation of mimic fighting spirit goes against the will of heaven.

Dou Qi is a way of using magic power, but people who don't have magic power want to use Dou Qi...

It sounds like a pipe dream.

Orsted had no good solution for this.

I can only try again and again.

……

The training of mimic fighting spirit is only one aspect.

on the other hand.

Swordsmanship training is also carried out simultaneously.

The mainstream swordsmanship in this world can be divided into three major schools.

A water god style that excels at defense.

A sword god style that excels at attacking.

The flexible and adaptable Beishenliu.

Among them, the Water God School was founded the earliest, the North God School has the largest number of users, and the Sword God School, which appeared the latest, has surpassed the others and is considered the strongest swordsmanship school.

Each of the three major schools has its own masters and strengths and weaknesses.

According to Orsted's suggestion, I decided to start practicing from the Water God Style, because the Water God Style is a sword technique that focuses on defense and counterattack, which coincides with my main needs at this stage.

The practice of swordsmanship is gradual.

At the beginning, you will follow fixed movements to strike stances and swing the sword, practice fixed moves, and learn how to defend and counterattack when facing attacks. It is basically based on theory.

Go further.

We need to integrate these fixed moves into actual combat applications.

The choice of teacher is particularly important at this stage. The more experienced the teacher is, the better the guidance results will be.

And finally, it is time to learn the secrets of the Water God Style.

Combining certain moves and concepts of the Water God Style to sublimate them into powerful tricks is the so-called secret technique.

There are five mysteries in the Water God Style.

If one can thoroughly master three of them, he will be qualified to be the Water God.

And Orsted, in addition to the five mysteries in the conventional sense.

He even mastered the sixth mystery.

That is the unique skill of the current Water God, which is to strip away the sword world.

Of course, that's not the level I can reach at the moment.

Right now, I'm just learning the basics of stances and techniques under Orsted's guidance.

It will take a long time to truly become a swordsman who can stand on his own...

There is a long way to go.

……

Closer to home.

After leaving the Kingdom of Asura.

We continued our journey with Orsted.

Using the transfer magic circle in the ancient dragon ruins, he traveled to the Beccarit continent.

Qixing's face looked very ugly when he used the transfer magic circle for the first time. If he thought about it carefully, we came to this world through transfer magic. It would definitely not be a comfortable experience to experience it again.

That being said.

If you do this a few times, you'll get used to it.

Most of the Bekalit continent is desert, with hot weather, which is not conducive to trekking.

To be honest, I really don't know what there is to do here, but Orsted has everything planned out, so Qixing and I won't say much.

All in all it took almost a month to make the trek.

We arrived at our destination: the labyrinth city of Lapon.

as usual.

While Orsted was away on business, Qixing and I were free to do whatever we wanted.

Due to local customs and practices, there are no hotels in the conventional sense on the continent of Beccarit.

The gathering place of people takes the form of a market, centered on the desert oasis.

For accommodation, you can only sleep outdoors in designated camping areas.

We prepared the tent in advance just for use at this time.

That being said.

The hot weather on the Beccarit continent is really terrible. Even with the magic tools that Orsted left behind to regulate the temperature, the scorching sun makes me not want to go out at all.

I might as well just stay in the tent for two days and wait for Orsted to come back...

I thought so.

However, Qixing obviously has a different opinion from me.

After seeing the market unique to the continent of Bekalit, he immediately pulled me excitedly and wanted to go shopping in the market.

Honestly, I don't want to go at all.

After all, I'm not Qixing's boyfriend, so why should I do something that only boyfriends would do?

That's right.

In the end, his hateful sense of responsibility got the better of him and he agreed to Qixing's request.

……

"If you walk around and look around like this, you'll definitely gain a lot."

Qixing walked excitedly on the streets of the market.

I followed her half a step behind.

"Is Qixing interested in the culture here?"

"It's not so much that I'm interested, but rather that this is the only way to kill time. Hiding in a tent and reading books all the time is really unbearable."

"That's it..."

Because of the limited tent space.

During the time we were on the Beccarit continent, Qixing and I basically lived in the same tent.

It is indeed annoying not to have independent space.

I have a deep understanding of this.

Maybe this is what makes Qixing feel bored.

That's why I have to come out and get some fresh air.

But then again, I remember that in the original work, Nanahoshi was basically not interested in this world, and the occasional inventions that benefited the other world were simply for the convenience of life or to make money.

Did I remember it wrong?

"Ah, look at this cup, it's actually made of glass."

Nanahoshi said this, picking up a four-pointed star glass bottle from a stall and showing it to me.

The surface of the glass bottle is engraved with beautiful patterns and looks like a whiskey bottle. It is very smooth and comparable to modern handicrafts.

Cups like this were everywhere at the stalls, even in different colors.

It’s also very interesting to talk about.

The specialty of the Beccarit continent is actually glass.

Glass cups like this are also available in the Central Continent, but the price is basically at the luxury level, and the surface is rough, the transparency is not high, and it is not as thick.

"It looks really good, I really want to buy one..."

Qixing was reluctant to part with the glass.

Should I say that she is worthy of being a little girl, she is actually interested in this kind of thing.

Unfortunately, we didn't have the spare capacity to carry such things, after all, long journeys require light luggage.

And when it comes to things I'm interested in, compared to handicrafts like glass cups, I prefer armor, weapons, magic tools or magic add-ons that have practical value. We should have enough money on us.

But there are two reasons. First, you need to reduce your luggage.

Secondly, I don’t think you can buy anything good at this kind of stall.

Orsted also said that with my current level of swordsmanship, I should not use too good equipment, otherwise once I am forced to use makeshift weapons, my strength will decline significantly.

If there is a real need, I think Orsted will not be stingy in this regard.

In summary.

I went shopping with Qixing today, and it was really just shopping.

The kind that you just look at but don't buy.

……

Just as I was thinking this.

My eyes accidentally fell on a stall and I couldn't move them away.

I subconsciously picked up the sword.

It is longer than a dagger but shorter than a longsword, and has a double-sided edge.

The blade is slightly curved and has a guard that covers the hand, and there is a hole in the center of the blade.

It looks like a pretty cool weapon, but the reason I picked it up wasn't just because it looked cool.

But I feel that this sword looks quite familiar.

So I looked at the boss.

"Boss, this sword..."

"You want that thing? But it's not a good thing. It looks cool, but it can't even be cut into jerky. It's impossible to sell. If you want it, just take it for ten new coins."

The moment I heard these words, I suddenly understood.

That's right.

It's this sword.

"make a deal!"

Travel: 11. Intermediate Swordsman

Bought some amazing stuff.

On the way back, I couldn't let go of the dagger.

If i remember correctly.

In the original work's labyrinth arc, Rudeus' father Paul once bought a magic add-on in the labyrinth city of Lapon, which had the ability to "Armor break" the harder the opponent's sword, the sharper the blade.

This ability is quite rare, but because it is so rare, the market is unable to identify this ability. It is sold at a low price as scrap metal that can't even be cut into jerky, and as a result, it has never been sold.

It was finally bought by Paul.
