Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 52 Interlude - Training and Knee Pillows in the Land of Shadows (4k)

The Land of Shadows, a land of the dead that exists independently from the rest of the world.

No matter from which angle you look up, the vast sky is filled with a gray and dead silence.

Lying on the floor in tattered clothes, Kamiya Yu looked at the dark sky with a dazed look. He felt that his life was just like the sky of the Land of Shadows, with no bright future.

Six months ago, at seventeen, I scraped together enough magic power from everywhere I went, and with great difficulty, I was able to use my newly awakened Heroic Spirit Class Card to travel through time for the first time.

I originally thought I could go to ancient Britain or the Age of Gods Greece, an era full of opportunities.

However, reality slapped Kamiya Yu hard in the face. When he opened his eyes, he was faced with a barren plain filled with Dragon Fang soldiers.

Before he could figure out the situation, the Dragon Tooth Soldier next to him impatiently rushed towards him, waving the bone knife in his hand.

Although his brain hadn't reacted yet, Kamiya Yu's body subconsciously moved and shattered it with a powerful elbow strike.

After this Dragon Tooth Soldier was beaten to pieces, the other Dragon Tooth Soldier wandering around seemed to have heard the noise and surrounded him tightly.

Fortunately, Kamiya Yu had A-level Bajiquan, and he quickly broke out of the siege and hid in the nearby primeval forest.

Because within a few kilometers, there is really no village with human life.

Therefore, Kamiya Yuya could only stay in the forest, getting food and water from it, and honing his martial arts with the Dragon Fang Soldier.

After all, since we are here, we can’t go back without any gain, right?

But what Kamiya Yu didn't expect was that this was just the beginning of his suffering. It wasn't until one day when he was picked up by a big sister in purple tights that he knew where this place was.

——The Land of Shadows, the legendary kingdom of the dead and the undead.

The sexy big sister who brought her back to the castle and accepted her as her disciple was naturally Scathach, the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom.

It was from that day that Kamiya Yu stepped into the real "hell".

I can only get minimal rest every day, and the rest of the time is filled with training and study.

When you are hungry, you use magic to resist hunger; when you are sleepy, you use magic to resist fatigue; when you are injured, you use magic to recover yourself... Almost all life activities are replaced by the abundant magic in the atmosphere.

Even when I was learning Bajiquan, it wasn't as hard and outrageous as it is now.

After three months of torture, Kamiya Yu could be said to be completely burned out, and he couldn't help but become listless.

"...How long will you rest?"

Suddenly, a sexy voice came to his ears, followed by a faint fragrance.

At some point, a slender and sexy figure half-knelt in front of Kamiya Yu, with long, soft purple hair naturally falling to her slender waist.

Looking at her disciple lying on the ground, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on her beautiful face.

"Let me rest for a while, Master." Kamiya Yu turned his head slightly and said weakly, "I just defeated today's enemy and my strength hasn't recovered yet."

In addition to daily study and training, Kamiya Yu needs to defeat an undead summoned from the dead by Scathach every day. Sometimes, he even has to fight with Scathach in person.

Although he said that he wanted to test the results of his training, in fact, he just wanted to beat himself up unilaterally.

Oh, women’s mouths are full of lies.

After taking a look at Scathach's extremely beautiful face, Kamiya Yu couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"Oh? Your strength really hasn't recovered yet?"

As if she had noticed his gaze, Scathach stood up. She showed a dangerous smile and pointed the red gun in her hand at Kamiya Yu's body. "If you don't hurry up and get up, you will die."

The crimson tip of the gun reflected an icy light, as if it would fly out of his hand and pierce his heart in the next second.

Seeing this, Kamiya Yu shuddered and got up from the floor. He protested helplessly, "Master, isn't today's mission completed? Why can't you let me rest for a while?"

"Haha, your mission today is indeed completed." Hearing his words, Scathach's lips curled up slightly with a hint of temptation, "But from now on, just treat it as extra training."

"Ah? Even if it's extra training, can you wait a little longer?" Kamiya Yu still wanted to struggle.

"Stop talking nonsense. However, if you can satisfy me, I can give you some extra relaxation as a reward..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the scarlet spear in her hand stabbed straight towards Kamiya Yu like a swimming dragon.

…………

Two and a half hours later.

"Kamiya Yu, don't run away, come towards the magic spear!"

"You must be joking, Master! I'm going to die!"

In the empty training ground, Kamiya Yu's screams were heard. Behind him, a scarlet magic spear was closing in on him. Kamiya Yu fled everywhere in fear, trying his best to avoid the attack of the magic spear, but the red spear was always chasing him and could penetrate his body at any time.

"If you don't even have the courage to face a demonic spear, how can you become a capable warrior?"

Looking at Kamiya Yu who was fleeing from Gajeborg, Scathach said in a cold and stern voice.

"So, don't give up. Find a way to use the primordial rune I taught you to block this gun!"

How could I possibly do something like this now... Kamiya Yu gritted his teeth and thought a little depressed.

As a beginner, he can only barely use the Primordial Rune. It is far from possible for him to use it to block Scathach's casual shot.

No, I can't do it now, but what about me in the future...

While running away, this idea suddenly popped up in Kamiya Yu's mind. Although he couldn't deal with Gajeberg at this stage, he would definitely have a way in the future.

So, at this time, his magic eyes that can predict the future come in handy.

"Then I'll leave it to you, future me!"

Thinking of this, Kamiya Yu increased his speed of escape while activating his ability to predict the future.

As the magic power was injected, his pale golden eyes suddenly lit up with a rainbow luster, and a moment later, a complex rune emerged in his mind.

"It's saved!"

After knowing the function of the rune, Kamiya Yu immediately had an idea. He ran to a solid wall and suddenly stopped.

While turning around, draw the rune symbolizing "ice" with your fingers.

wow——

A thick ice wall suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, but even so, it was quickly penetrated by the scarlet magic spear.

Draw quickly, dead hand!
Looking at the magic spear so close to him, Kamiya You's heart tightened and he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis.

It seemed as if he had made a breakthrough under this pressure. In just a moment, he carved out the new runes he had seen before. Bang!
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a flash of white light, Kamiya Yu's figure disappeared from the spot, and the scarlet magic spear was inserted straight into the wall.

"Oh~ Interesting ability..."

Taking his performance into consideration, Scathach raised her eyebrows, a hint of interested smile appeared on her pretty face, and she whispered to herself.

Even after just a brief observation, she could vaguely see that Kamiya Yu's eyes had a similar ability to see into the future.

It seems that this adopted disciple is even more mysterious than he imagined...

“Hahahahaha—”

On the other side, Kamiya Yu, who had escaped death, was lying flat on the ground in a utterly undignified manner, gasping for breath violently.

"The closer you are to death, the more you can squeeze out the potential of your body. I believe that after the training just now, you have understood my approach." Scathach came to Kamiya Yu with a gentle smile.

"I understand, but can you have less training like this?"

After calming his breath, Kamiya Yu said pleadingly, "My little heart can't stand such a big shock, Master."

"I will consider your opinion." Looking down at the tired silver-haired boy, Scathach responded with a smile.

"By the way, I'm very satisfied with your performance just now. So, as I said before, I'll give you a little special reward."

Scathach knelt on the ground with her knees bent. Her proud figure was more prominent because of this seductive sitting posture, making it difficult to take people's eyes off her.

As she spoke, she bent her slender waist, reached out to lift Kamiya Yu's head, and gently placed it on her plump and full thigh.

Mouth melon! Being able to feel the softness of the master's thighs up close is worth it even if I die! Mouth melon!
Although there was a thin layer of cloth between them, Kamiya Yu could still clearly feel the touch of the soft thigh. Because he was lying down, he could even see the heavy human heart.

Compared to the quilt king who is set in stone, it turns out that an older sister like the master understands people's hearts.

At the same time, an enchanting fragrance gradually lingered around Kamiya Yu's nose. As if a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly, turned his face slightly to the outside, and let his gaze fall on the tall city wall in the distance.

What an interesting reaction...

Looking at the boy with a slightly flushed face, Scathach showed a charming and happy smile like a gentle big sister next door.

This was the first time in her long life that she had taken such an action, apart from fighting.

However, it was a good harvest.

Even though she had taught so many disciples before, Scathach had a vague feeling that her wish might very well come true with this new disciple.

Therefore, in order to help Kamiya Yu grow quickly, she would not be stingy with this insignificant contribution.

After all, an overly taut rope will eventually break, and only by relaxing it occasionally can it keep moving forward.

…………

one year later.

The sky of the Shadow Kingdom was still covered with dark clouds, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate the clouds and fall onto the dim ground.

"Ah, Junior Brother, you're pretty good! You can actually fight me for so long."

In the spacious training ground, a frantic voice suddenly rang out.

Looking towards the source of the sound, a tall man with a blue ponytail was skillfully wielding a spear, looking at Kamiya Yu with a satisfied expression and said.

As one of the strongest men in Ireland, there were few rivals in this land who could fight against Cu Chulainn, and other enemies were almost all killed by him with just two or three shots.

This was the first time he had seen an ordinary human like Kamiya Yu who could match him 70:30 after only a year of training.

If it weren't for the final apprenticeship test today, Cu Chulainn really wanted to see Kamiya Yu's full strength.

Unfortunately, facing the old woman next to him, he dared not be careless at all.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to fight anymore?" Looking at his senior brother who had lost his will to fight, Kamiya Yu asked in surprise.

"Although I really want to continue fighting with you, I have something important to do today, so I'll stop for now."

As he spoke, Cu Chulainn turned his head and fixed his gaze on Scathach who was watching the battle on the side.

"Oh, it seems you are ready, Cu Chulainn." Noticing his burning gaze, Scathach smiled and stood up. "Do I need to give you some time to recover?"

"no need."

Without the slightest hesitation, Cu Chulainn simply shook his head and rejected Scathach's proposal. A cheeky smile appeared on his face. "The battle just now was just a warm-up."

"Besides, I can't wait to challenge the final trial!"

"Very good, your courage deserves recognition."

As the words fell, Scathach leaped up and landed gracefully on the ground. At the same time, a scarlet magic spear appeared in her hand. "If you can survive this battle, you will have successfully completed your apprenticeship, Cu Chulainn."

"That seems interesting, so come on!"

As Cu Chulainn spoke, he lowered his body, tense as a cheetah, ready to attack at any moment.

Just as the two were confronting each other, Kamiya Yu had wisely hidden in the audience seats to avoid delaying their fight because of his presence.

After he left, the battle between Scathach and Cu Chulainn was about to break out.

The purple and blue figures transformed into two streams of light, colliding at the speed of a meteor, and the magic spears in their hands cast countless afterimages.

Clang, clang, clang—!
Two spears of the same style collided violently, instantly exploding into dazzling sparks.

"Compared to the master's spearmanship, Brother Cuchulain's is still far behind."

Taking in the entire fight between the two, Kamiya Yu thought with a serious expression.

In his opinion, from the beginning of the fight, Cu Chulainn had been suppressed by Scathach and it was difficult for him to find a chance to break through.

Since they can't gain the upper hand with their spearmanship, the two will probably use other abilities to fight soon.

Sure enough, just as Kamiya Yu expected, a moment later, the power of the original Rune began to appear in the venue.

Fire, ice, lightning...dazzling attacks clashed with each other.

From martial arts to magic, this is a comprehensive assessment and also a test he will face in the future.

When the battle entered a white-hot stage, Kamiya Yu fell silent and watched the battle in the field intently.

I don’t know if Brother Cu Chulainn can pass this trial successfully?

However, I think it should be fine.
