Chapter 75
Approaching Threat
“??Cyclone??”
In the training hall of the Adventurer’s Guild, the Combat Skill Cyclone, Level 3 of the Dagger Arts skill, was released, slicing through the surface of the target log.
The Combat Skill itself was a non-attribute magic, but this Cyclone contained the wind attribute and was a ranged attack that sliced a space with a blade of wind within a radius of about 1 meter in the direction in which the attack was released.
To be honest, this Combat Skill was inferior to Level 1 Thrust in terms of power and usability, but it could momentarily disperse fire- and wind-based attack magic, and it was very effective against small swarms of monsters.
I had seen this Combat Skill only once, and at that time it was used by Mercenary of Dawn leader Daggart.
Based on that one time, I had a hard time learning to use it, but even so, once I had seen it with my own eyes and adapted it to my body, it would get surprisingly manageable depending on my training.
As I took a swing to dispel the heat of the magic and tuck the black dagger behind my waist, I heard a crackle of applause and, as before, the woman at the reception desk approached me.
“Well done. You must have grown up with magic power, but Rank 3 at your age, did you study under a well-distinguished Master of the Sword?”
“Something like that…”
I was taught by my master who was a renowned sorcerer in the underworld, but I learned the basics of Dagger Arts from Feld, Combat Skill from Viro, and was corrected by Sera, but most of it was self-styled, trimmed of useless parts after seeking efficiency in actual combat.
When I had looked at Viro and Sera’s Dagger Arts, there were a wide variety of moves, like a specialization.
