Watch How I Fight. (2)
Clang!
At the critical moment, Ghislain blocked the Bandit Leader’s sword with his staff.
Ghislain smirked as he looked at Julien, who was hesitating.
“You can’t let your guard down until the very end. Don’t forget that.”
Ė ñ ů m̃ à . і̆ d́
Julien unconsciously nodded.
“Uh, uhm.”

“It’s fine. Eventually, you’ll become incredibly composed. The kind of man who wouldn’t let his guard down, not even a speck.”
“M-me?”
“Of course. Probably?”
For now, they only shared the same face but were completely different in every other way... Still, Ghislain thought that the Hero standing before him had somehow reincarnated as the present-day Julien.
Ӗ n̈ ú m.а̊
Julien simply assumed that he would grow into such a person in the future. After all, Ghislain had mentioned before that he came from the future.
He just didn’t know that that future was a thousand years away.
“You bastard!”
The Bandit Leader, enraged, swung his sword at Ghislain. Ghislain dodged with ease and continued speaking.

“From now on, pay close attention to how I fight.”
Thwack!
Ẃёb̃nо v̄ е̇ l̈ .Е n̈um̂а̃
Ghislain struck the Bandit Leader’s knee with his staff. The Bandit Leader staggered backward.
Without hesitation, Ghislain pursued him and swung his staff again. His strikes landed all over the Bandit Leader’s body.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
“Each weapon has its own way of being handled. But in the end, the fundamentals remain the same.”
The Bandit Leader’s body swayed violently. Ghislain didn’t stop as he continued teaching the three watching him.
“A weapon isn’t just a simple tool. It’s an extension of my body, a part of me.”

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
“Guh, ugh... S-stop….”
The Bandit Leader had already lost his weapon and was now taking a relentless beating. He wanted to collapse, but strangely, he couldn’t.
The three observers watched Ghislain with unwavering focus, determined not to miss a single movement, listening intently to his words.
“The true skill of wielding a weapon isn’t just about how you move it, but about achieving ‘oneness’ with it. You and your weapon must understand each other, breathe together, and complement one another.”
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Е̄ n ū m̈а́
At some point, the staff began to move like a whip. Though it wasn’t actually a whip, it slithered over the opponent’s body like a snake, striking with precision.
It was an incredibly bizarre technique. The three of them were utterly mesmerized as they watched.

“It should feel like a part of your body. You must sense the weight, balance, and vibrations of the weapon with your very being.”
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
The Bandit Leader had already lost consciousness, yet he remained standing, still enduring the blows.
Every time he started to collapse, the staff would strike and prop him back up.
W.е̇ b̈ṅ_óv̊ el Ё ňu m̄ â
To the three onlookers, it was an almost magical sight.
“If you understand the nature of your weapon and synchronize with it, there comes a moment when the boundary between you and it disappears. It ceases to be just an object and becomes a part of your body.”
Thud!
With a loud crack, the Bandit Leader’s skull shattered, and his body collapsed to the ground.
Ghislain withdrew his staff and smiled faintly.

“This is what it truly means to wield a weapon. You all understand now, don’t you?”
The three of them nodded furiously. It wouldn’t be easy to master right away, but they could grasp the meaning behind his words.
Web̂ ñ о̆vе̃_l Ĕn ú m a
Watching the way Ghislain moved in real combat allowed them to gain some insights of their own.
“A-amazing.”
“How can you move like that?”
“Teach me too!”
As the three of them spoke, Ghislain closed his eyes and nodded.
“I like the enthusiasm. This is how you learn, one step at a time. So, what do you think? Ambushes aren’t so bad, right?”

The three nodded again, though hesitantly. They weren’t sure if it was something they could handle, but at the very least, they had won. Of course, most of the work had been done by Ghislain.
Julien looked down at his own trembling hands. This fight had felt different from anything before.
He had always moved cautiously, but this time, he had unleashed all of his strength in one burst.
‘So, this is… an ambush…?’
Not even close. Julien was completely misunderstanding something.
The moment they were certain the battle was over, the three of them collapsed onto the ground. They had used so much energy and been so tense that they were completely drained.
Ën̊ũ m̌ а́
As he watched them rest, Ghislain fell into thought.
‘Something feels off. Their talent is definitely exceptional, but….’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Ghislain had been observing their techniques and Mana Refinement Method over the past few days.
They had learned these techniques thanks to Astion’s mysterious abilities.
It was said that the spirits who had possessed Astion’s body couldn’t stay for long. Before departing, they only had time to pass on the knowledge they had.
It was up to the four of them to analyze and train in those techniques based on what they had heard.
Е n um_а̀. і̌ d
‘It’s impressive that they managed to learn on their own, but….’
Those born with innate talent found ways to master techniques even without a teacher. They struggled, exchanged ideas, and tested things with their bodies until they figured it out.
In a way, it was pure luck. Kids from the countryside rarely had the opportunity to learn such skills in the first place.
But from Ghislain’s perspective, they were still far from where they needed to be. At this rate, it would be impossible for them to reach the level he had seen in his dreams.

‘These aren’t the techniques or the Mana Refinement Method the Hero’s party originally used.’
Ghislain knew the techniques and Mana Refinement Method that they were supposed to wield.
Е̄.n̄u m ä. і d̄
And more importantly, he knew how to help them develop them.
When Ghislain joined the Hero’s party, he thought it was a great opportunity. He believed that by observing them and guiding their development based on his knowledge, he could help them improve rapidly.
However, they were using completely different swordsmanship and Mana Refinement Methods, ones that were significantly inferior to what they should have been using.
That was why Ghislain found it strange.
‘Did they have some other fortuitous encounter? With their current techniques and Mana Refinement Method, the best they can achieve is the level of a Transcendent….’
If they went through countless battles, survived, and gained enlightenment, they might be able to surpass that level. But new techniques wouldn’t just appear out of nowhere.

They would either have to develop their own skills through enlightenment or have an extraordinary spirit possess Astion’s body and teach them. Either way, some kind of catalyst was necessary.
‘I have no way of knowing which it is right now.’
Until now, Ghislain had only been correcting their misunderstandings and pointing out bad habits. But after this battle, he was certain.
With their current techniques, rapid growth was impossible.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Ghislain made up his mind.
‘They’ll have to learn it anyway, so why not teach them a little sooner?’
Ё ń u m̄ а́
Initially, he had planned to simply correct their mistakes and let them gain real combat experience. Since the future was already set, he had been confident that they would become strong even without his direct intervention.
But now, seeing them using completely different techniques, Ghislain felt frustrated. He decided to change their swordsmanship and Mana Refinement Method immediately.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“All right, from now on, I’ll teach you new Mana Refinement Methods and techniques. Take a short rest, and then we’ll gain more practical experience.”
Now that he had made his decision, he wasn’t going to hold back.
If they trained comfortably, their growth would be delayed. He had to push them even harder than before.
‘I’ll have to make sure they fail their next ambush too.’
Ѐ n ũ m.а̂ .і̆ d
Ghislain had deliberately held back during the fight to push them to their limits. He intended to continue doing so in the future.
Hearing his words, the three of them nodded, feeling a mix of anticipation and unease.
They had already been amazed multiple times by Ghislain’s vast knowledge and exceptional skills. However, at this rate, they weren’t sure if they would live long enough to appreciate it.
The last battle had been incredibly risky and nerve-wracking.

‘But I can’t bring myself to oppose him.’
‘If I say no, that staff might come flying at me.’
Eň.um̊.а . ì d̃
‘He’s strange. He’s different from the other spirits. He’s way too proactive and aggressive.’
That was all they could grumble about in their heads.
After taking a brief rest, they began searching the bandit hideout for the warehouse building.
The three of them checked inside the warehouse and gaped in astonishment.
“W-wow….”
“There’s so much!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“I-is all of this ours?”
Even though it was a small territory, the bandit gang had been strong enough that the local lord had been forced to negotiate with them. The warehouse was overflowing with an enormous amount of treasure.
Beyond gold and jewels, there were also food supplies, leather, herbs, and other valuables or essential goods for daily life.
If they took all of this, they could live comfortably anywhere for the rest of their lives without a care in the world.
“C-can we really take all of this?”
Kyle asked in a trembling voice. This kind of wealth was something only lords or high-ranking nobles would possess.
E ǹu m̄ ӓ
Julien and Deneb swallowed hard. Having grown up in a rural village, they had never seen such an immense fortune before.
However, one person completely shattered the mood.

“Huh? This is it? These guys were total beggars. All that talk, and they barely had any food?”
“…….”
His standards were way too different. To be disappointed after seeing this much treasure…
The three of them glanced at Ghislain and thought to themselves.
Wе bnоv́.е̌l̇ Еn̊um ǎ
‘Just how rich was Ghislain?’
‘He had so many titles. He must have lived in a huge mansion, probably with a garden too.’
‘Maybe he had enough money to live leisurely for ten years without working.’
As villagers, that was the most they could imagine.

Though Ghislain was disappointed, objectively speaking, the amount of treasure was far too much for the four of them to take. Even after stuffing their worn-out backpacks to the brim, they still couldn’t carry it all.
The amount left behind far exceeded what they had taken, which was quite a problem.

Ghislain casually looked around and spoke.
“For now, let’s bury it somewhere nearby and retrieve it later.”
Once they secured a proper base or had the means to transport it, they could come back for the rest. That was how things were handled back in his mercenary days.
Kyle nodded in agreement, but Julien had a different idea.
“Let’s give it away.”
“What?”

“These supplies were stolen from the nearby villages, weren’t they? We’ve already taken what we need, so let’s distribute the rest to the local people.”
Deneb agreed with Julien’s suggestion.
“Yeah, with what we’ve taken, we can live comfortably for a few months. And since we can’t carry everything anyway, it might be the best option.”
Hearing that, Kyle flared up.
“Hey! How long are we going to keep doing this?! Are we rich? We’re in debt! If we took all of this, we could pay off everything and finally live in comfort!”
Kyle felt like he was about to lose his mind. Julien and Deneb were always like this, never even taking their fair share yet constantly eager to give things away.
Ё nù m̆ а . іd̄
No, he could understand Deneb’s reasoning since she was a priest. But why the hell was Julien, the most indebted beggar among them, acting this way?!
“Get a grip! You’re in debt! Don’t you realize that the merchant guild is tracking our location all the time?”

Whenever they entered a city with a major merchant guild or a mercenary guild, they were required to report their whereabouts. That was part of their agreement with the merchant group.
If they failed to make contact for too long, the merchant guild would assume they had run away and take action.
Even in this situation, Julien shook his head.
“This isn’t ours.”
Еňǔm̌ а̌
“We took it fair and square, so now it’s ours!”
“These things originally belonged to someone else. What we took is more than enough as payment for our effort.”
Even as Julien spoke, he sneaked a glance at Ghislain. After all, Ghislain had been the one to take down most of the bandits.
That meant his approval was necessary.

“…What do you think?”
Ghislain, who had been watching the argument like a spectator at a show, paused to think.
Е̊ ǹ u m̂а
If it were anyone else, they would have shut down this nonsense and taken everything for themselves, maybe even thrown in a punch for good measure.
Giving away money once wouldn’t change people’s lives. If they truly wanted to help, they would need to rebuild things from the ground up. That was how Ghislain had always handled such situations.
‘This one’s a little tricky.’
Teaching them how to grow stronger was one thing. But changing their values and way of thinking was something entirely different.
Changing them itself wouldn’t be difficult. He couldn’t just drag them along and expect them to change overnight, but if he kept repeating it, eventually, they would adapt.
The real question was whether changing them was the right thing to do.

‘Hmm, what’s the best course of action?’
He didn’t want Julien and Deneb’s personalities to change. After all, they must have had the right temperament and qualities to become the Hero and the Saint in the first place.
Since Ghislain hadn’t been in this era for long, he decided to observe a little longer.
‘For now, that’s probably the best choice.’
Unlike before, when he had a clear goal of restoring his fief after his regression, his current priority was gathering information to fight against the Adversary of this era.
Because of that, even if he interfered, he needed to act more like a passive observer.

“Fine, let’s do as Julien says this time.”
Julien and Deneb beamed at his words. Kyle, on the other hand, kicked the ground in frustration.

“Ugh, seriously! With that money, we could just pay off our debt and live peacefully somewhere quiet!”
If Astion had been here, he would have sided with him. Kyle had been certain that Ghislain, who had been talking about making money, would too. But to think he would step back now!
As Kyle grumbled, Dark, the sparrow-sized creature, looked at him and muttered.
“I agree with you. Those two must have taken a serious head injury as kids. There’s no other explanation.”

“I think so too.”
“But thanks to naïve people like them, others get rich.”
“Exactly. You and I actually think alike.”
“Don’t act all friendly. If we were in my world, you wouldn’t even be able to speak to me. You wouldn’t dare meet my eyes.”

“……”
Kyle was now convinced that Dark must have been some high-ranking noble sparrow. Still, having a fancy aristocratic bird on his side did help ease his irritation a little.

The group quickly packed up and headed to the nearby village to distribute the goods.
However, instead of celebrating after hearing that the bandits had been dealt with, the villagers only cast them suspicious looks.
