Learning swordsmanship now seemed pointless, even if I gained sword skills from the Goddess. It would only cause trouble.
During my 11 years as an adventurer, it wasn't my swordsmanship that earned me embarrassing titles like "Indomitable" or "Unyielding" and even a fan club. It was my sturdy body and even sturdier equipment.
My shield and armor had maintained a flawless sheen for 11 years without a single scratch, despite only being cleaned of filth. And the warhammer, now as familiar as my own fist. These were Roland's default equipment from his character illustration in Heroes Chronicle before I possessed him.
Even when I took them off to rest, I always wore this gear on long adventures. Like modern people who feel awkward without their smartphones, I'd feel strange now without the hefty warhammer handle. What swordsmanship were they talking about?
