Chapter 103: A Girl's Special Training (Easy Hell Course)

Having sent the attacking Silver Dragon flying with an Infinite Throw, I imparted the know-how of fighting large enemies to everyone. …However, everyone’s response to that was…

“THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!!”

I don’t think that’s true, though.

“It’s okay. The key to this technique is timing; conversely, if you can just get the timing right, even an amateur can pull it off.”

Since you can use the opponent’s strength, it’s great that it’s recommended for amateurs too.

“IT’S WAY TOO IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN AMATEUR TO THROW A DRAGON INFINITELY!!”

Well, keeping the throw going continuously takes a bit of a knack. But surely throwing it once or twice is doable with a little practice, right?

“Oh right, this is an essential technique especially for Ryune, who aims to be a Dragon Knight. You must master this technique to avoid being crushed when the dragon you’ve tamed tries to play with you.”

“Ehh!? Being a Dragon Knight is a profession that requires such dangerous techniques!? I completely thought it was a smarter profession, like bringing a dragon down with a spear and making it submit…”

“Ahaha, communicating with dragons is dangerous for amateurs. Using Body Enhancement Magic to protect yourself when being playfully bitten is essential.”

“Playfully bitten by those fangs…”

Seeing the dragons, everyone’s faces turned pale. Everyone knows Body Enhancement Magic, so there’s no need to worry about that, though.

Just then, the Silver Dragon got up. It was staggering for a while, perhaps from the shock of being thrown, but it seemed to pull itself together, straightening up immediately and letting out a roar.

It’s angry now; that killing intent screams, “I’ll definitely kill you.” Yeah, even though those were light throws, it’s a dragon with quite some guts.

Now, what should I do? It would be fine to defeat it, but since the Silver Dragon is motivated… Dodging the attacking Silver Dragon‘s strikes, I lightly threw it. This time, it wasn’t an Infinite Throw, but a light throw using the twist of the wrist.

“H-Handling a dragon so lightly…”

“Ah, if you think based on Rex‘s actions as a standard, you’ll have a painful experience, so don’t use him as a reference too much.”

“…Umm, being told that while you’re fighting a Blue Dragon solo…”

Yep, yep, everyone has gotten quite used to fighting dragons. That’s it! I’ve thought of a way to utilize the Silver Dragon!

“Ryune, please come here.”

Having thrown the Silver Dragon a bit far, I called Ryune.

“Eh? Y-Yes!”

Dodging the Green Dragons‘ attacks, Ryune came to me. There was no fear of dragons visible in her movement. Yeah, it seems she’s gained some courage from fighting once.

“W-What is it?”

Ryune straightened her back and looked at me with a tense expression.

“No, since a Silver Dragon has appeared, I thought I’d have Ryune take it on. It’s the second strongest among dragons, so I think it will be a good training partner for Ryune.”

“I see, so that means… eh?”

Hearing my words, Ryune started to reply with an understanding expression, but her reply stopped midway.

“Ehhhhhhhhhhh!? F-Fight a d-drag… S-Sil… Silver Dragon!?!?”

“Yes.”

“‘Yes’ isn’t the answer!! Impossible! It’s impossible! Fighting a Silver Dragon is impossible impossible impossible impossible! It’s impossible!!”

“Ah, I understand. I really understand.”

“Well, Big Bro’s training is relatively strict.”

“However, since Rex‘s decision won’t change, do your best.”

“Umm, if you get injured, we have recovery magic ready.”

“Well… if you dodge like your life depends on it, you’ll manage somehow.”

“THAT’S NO SUPPORT AT ALL!!”

Ryune screamed at the lack of allies.

“Ah, here it comes, Ryune.”

“Eh?”

The Silver Dragon, having gotten up, charged towards me. Moreover, since I had shifted my position slightly during the conversation, Ryune was now sandwiched between me and the Silver Dragon.

“GRUOAAAAAAON!!”

“Wait!? I have nothing to do with this!?”

However, the Silver Dragon didn’t care about Ryune‘s circumstances. If you stand between it and its enemy, it will just kill you along with them—the Silver Dragon swung its claws.

“Now, do your best! It’s okay, it’s only a Silver Dragon!”

“That’s no comfort at all!!”

Well then, let’s see Ryune‘s skills.

Even so, the Golden Dragon isn’t moving. It feels like it’s looking at the Silver Dragon with a very philosophical gaze.

“Ukyaaaaaaaa!?”

Ryune screamed while dodging the Silver Dragon‘s attack. I also focused on dodging this time without throwing the Silver Dragon.

And before the Silver Dragon could regain its posture, I moved behind Ryune, adjusting my position so she was always between me and the Silver Dragon.

“I-I-I-I’m going to die—!?”

Taking the Silver Dragon‘s charges repeatedly, Ryune continued to dodge attacks on the verge of tears.

“Ryune, if you only dodge, you’ll eventually be cornered!”

“I’m already cornered!”

Ryune desperately dodged the Silver Dragon‘s attacks, but this was a losing battle.

“Let’s try counterattacking first!”

“C-Counterattack!? Ukyaa!?”

Ryune launched a counter-attack against the charging Silver Dragon, but she was blown away like a leaf before the size difference and the Silver Dragon‘s fierce speed.

“I-I-I-I’m dyiiing…”

“It’s okay! You have defense magic, so you can sufficiently withstand a Silver Dragon‘s attacks!”

“Fwe…? I-It’s true. I’m not injured at all. Wh-What is this?”

“Come on, counterattack!”

“B-But my attacks aren’t working at all…”

Ryune whined because her earlier attack didn’t work.

“It’s okay, I taught you earlier, right? The method for fighting large enemies.”

“Eh!? Could that be the one from before!?”

“Yes, that’s it! Let’s try it!”

“Y-Yesss!”

The Silver Dragon attacked Ryune, aiming for me.

“H-Here… ukyaa!?”

Ryune went to throw the Silver Dragon, but she was easily knocked away.

“Ryune, you don’t need to go towards it yourself. Use yourself as a fulcrum and throw with the image of rotating the dragon’s body!”

“Hahiiiii~”

Ryune replied while being blown away.

“Ukyaa!”

“Bukyu!?”

“Hoge!?”

Ryune challenged the Silver Dragon repeatedly only to be knocked away.

“Hey, wouldn’t it be better to practice with a Green Dragon or something first?”

While fighting dragons, Liliera made such a suggestion.

“No, since a top-class dragon is here, I think it’s better to have her fight the strongest possible opponent. If she knows the strength of the top, when she fights weaker opponents, she’ll think they’re weak compared to that guy and feel more at ease.”

“I feel like the digit of the ‘top’ you know is different…”

Just then, the Silver Dragon, losing its patience, breathed a silver breath.

“Resist Breath!”

Just in case, I immediately cast breath defense magic on my companions.

“Kyaaaaaa!?”

Ryune took a direct hit from the breath, but since I could hear a scream from inside the breath properly, it seems she managed to defend against it.

And before the aftermath of the breath subsided, the Silver Dragon moved.

“Ryune, it’s coming!”

“Fweh!?”

The dust cloud kicked up by the breath moved, and the Silver Dragon appeared in front of Ryune. However, when Ryune, reacting to my voice, unconsciously took the movement she had repeated many times, all the timing clicked.

Ryune‘s hand touched the dragon’s downward-swinging claw. With that momentum, the throwing motion was executed. The Silver Dragon‘s giant body floated.

“Swing through just like that!”

“Yessssss!”

And in the next moment, the silver giant body flew through the air, and before long, slammed into the ground with a heavy sound.

“…I-I did iiiiiiiit!”

“Congratulations!”

Ryune, having succeeded in throwing the Silver Dragon for the first time, jumped up and down expressing joy with her whole body.

“Then, shall we continue throwing? Repetitive practice is necessary for things like this.”

“Yes! I’ll throw it as many times as needed!”

She must have been incredibly happy to finally succeed in throwing the Silver Dragon. Ryune headed towards the Silver Dragon full of motivation.
