A New Life In Another World: Volume 2

Chapter 113: Training Part 3

[Anri, you need to strike from behind! Tora, try to sweep her legs to distract her while I make a frontal assault to keep her off Anri!]

As I issued this command through telepathy, the three of us rushed toward our opponent. Zemmi stood there, waiting for us to attack. Her bone blade was in her hands, getting ready for battle.

As we got closer, we proceeded with our plan. Tora rushed in and went for Zemmi's leg, while Anri and I did a frontal assault. Zemmi trained her eyes on Tora for a moment as she noticed where the Byakko head was targeting.

Instead of dealing with Tora with the bone blade, she simply maneuvered away from Tora, but this was within my expectations which is why I did this. As Zemmi moved away, Anri and I rushed forward and went to clash our weapons against her.

I say Anri and I, but it was actually me. As soon as we got close enough to Zemmi, I clashed Thana against the bone blade and Anri did as she was instructed before and went to strike Zemmi from behind.

However...

Just as Anri went to strike, something blocked her blade. It was Zemmi's dragon tail.

"A sneak attack, huh?" Zemmi smiled. "Not a bad strategy, but it won't work against me!"

Pushing Anri away with her tail, Zemmi then stomped the ground, causing the three of us to get pushed back. Zemmi then knocked us all out with the butt of her bone sword, making her victorious.

As we lay on the ground in defeat, Zemmi clapped her hands in joy.

"Good work, you three. Your cooperation is getting better and better. As expected from my three disciples!"

"You're saying that...even though we haven't laid a finger on you yet?" I grumbled, somewhat woozy from the previous attack Zemmi made.

"Defeating Zemmi won't be an easy feat, Demi-Elder," Valdr said, watching the scene unfold while doing his own little match.

"Don't get distracted, bugger!" Ukwtakun shouted, trying to punch the God of War in the face.

Valdr easily dodged his attacks as Maram snuck up from behind the god and tried to kick him in the back. However, Valdr noticed her immediately and blocked her kick with the sheath of his sword while blocking one of Ukwtakun's punches with his actual blade.

Ukwtakun and Maram have been fighting Valdr for the past couple of days now. They've been doing this since they hate Valdr for what he did. Surprisingly enough, Valdr didn't seem to mind, so when Tora, Anri, and I were fighting Zemmi by herself, he dealt with the siblings in the meantime.

"You two really haven't changed, huh?" Valdr chuckled.

"Tch!"

"Drop dead!"

The wendigo siblings continued attacking Valdr, but they don't seem to be making much progress. It might be because both the siblings and Cerridwen aren't as strong as they used to be. Especially since they aren't eating everything in sight and getting stronger.

Considering that Valdr and the siblings are children of the Forbidden Beasts, I don't think Ukwtakun and Maram are weaker than Valdr to this extent. That means that they can only get stronger by eating a lot.

Since we'll be going to war soon, I'll have to get the famished trio to eat a lot so they can use that strength in battle. Of course, there are a couple of things I still need to work on concerning said war.

...And one of those is my role as this stupid country's emperor. Every time I think about it, I get angry.

Why the hell was I destined to become the emperor of this place? I'm only fifteen years old, and I have no knowledge of how to be a ruler. I don't even know where to start with that.
