Yuna passed the trial and was upgraded from "Apprentice Summoner" to "Summoner". The villagers of Beside Village congratulated her around the bonfire at night... However, what filled the village was not "festivity", but a faint "Summoner". Sad", the children who had not yet had time to take root in the teachings of Yepen, couldn't help crying, and they all knew what was waiting for Yuna's fate.
The next day, the summoner Yuna said goodbye to the villagers and fathers, and took the guards Waka, Kimari, and Lulu to a place on the beach that was temporarily regarded as a "pier", and planned to take a boat to other temples to obtain other summoned beasts. Under the arrangement of the friendly and enthusiastic Waka, Tida, Leeds, Solanum, and Sakuya were also able to take a downwind boat, and they parted ways at "Luka", the venue for the water fight championship.
This is the end of the day trip to Beaside Island from Leeds. Although there is no time to see the natural scenery, there is nothing good in Beaside Island itself. As for the interesting guys on the island, all of them have been concentrated on this sailboat with a strange shape that looks like it has fins, and the rest are passerby NPCs that can be completely ignored.
Liz, who followed with zero presence throughout the whole process, spoke to Tida only after the sailboat was far away from Beside Island: "I said you... Although you seem to be a novice at the beginning of the movement, but your talent is very good, even running. The wolf-type monsters are all hit."
The outskirts of Spira Continent were not at all safe, there were monsters wandering everywhere, and they encountered several groups of monsters along the way. Naturally, there were summoners and her guards to take action, these little hairs were not a problem at all, but Tida also carried the sword up to help, and it didn't hold back.
"Probably because I'm a waterball player... If you want to play waterball well, you must have a strong physique, agile skills, and extraordinary dynamic vision." Tida, who was praised by others, scratched the back of his head and smirked.
Liz shook his head and said, "That's different. Physical attributes are physical attributes, and fighting talent is fighting talent... Let's put it this way, if you find a group of professional waterball players, there are definitely not many who can do better than you."
"Yes, is that so?" Tida still couldn't understand the difference between the two. He only remembered the ugly state that he almost couldn't even hold the sword when he first picked up the sword.
Liz asked again: "Is your strange weapon still comfortable to use?"
"I think it's pretty good?" The weapon used by Tida was a great sword glowing with the light of the ocean, with a long barb on the tip of the sword. This was a gift that Waka originally intended to give to his brother. , but the younger brother died unexpectedly, and now it is given to Tida, who has an 8-point resemblance to his younger brother in appearance.
"Since it's okay to use, there's no need to change weapons anymore," Liz was also worried that Tida would learn Waka someday, and it's so unconventional to use a water fighting ball as a weapon, "Why don't you practice swords when you have time? ?"
"Practicing swords..." Tida showed a puzzled expression.
Liz said angrily: "Please, aren't you looking for trouble with the 'original sin'? Even if the frontal battle is resolved by me, you must ensure that you will not be killed by the soldiers, right?"
Tida recalled the battle along the way. Although he did not cause trouble to others, his strength was still inferior to the three of Waka, let alone Yuna who could summon monsters to fight. After a little hesitation, he nodded and said, "I ,let me try."
"You don't need other exercises at this level for the time being, so let's do the empty swing first." Liz suggested that he is a man who has practiced overlord swordsmanship in "Martial Arts World" for more than six years, enough to educate laymen.
"Oh!" Tida replied, hesitated for a moment, and asked Liz, "You... should be very powerful, right?"
"What do you think~?"
"Although you haven't shot...but..." Tida turned his head to look at Sunflower, and the thing that Solanum was holding was wrapped in cloth. Judging from the image, he guessed that it was also a big sword. According to their master-servant relationship, it is reasonable to guess that this is Liz's weapon. When a person has a weapon at hand anytime, anywhere, there is a lower limit for how weak it is.
"Haha~ You'll see my strength in two days—maybe in less than two days." Liz pointedly said.
"???"
…
Before going to "Luke", they also have to reach "Kiliga Port", where there is another monastery of Yepen, where Yuna needs to communicate with "Children of Prayer" to get another summoned beast. The port of Killiga is not too far from Beeside Island, but the speed of the sailboats means they spend days at sea.
During the period, Tida listened to Liz's suggestion and started to practice sword swinging. Since he has not really recognized his physique to write "protagonist" and read "Wenshen", his training intensity is very low due to lack of tension, not that kind of "protagonist". A thousand times a day in the sky," the kendo master, but his strength has still improved. During this process, he and Yuna accidentally talked about "Jackett", a man who was both Yuna's father's bodyguard and Tida's father, and the relationship quickly became acquainted.
On the Leeds side, they followed the Buffaloes for basic practice of water fighting, but because they could only hit the ball on the deck, the content of the practice was similar to that of volleyball—
"It always feels unreliable, Waka, can I really go to the game with only this kind of training?" Leeds passed the water fighting ball to Waka.
"You're really talented, but... I don't have enough time." Waka caught the ball with a wry smile.
Compared with teammates who have a certain probability of falling to the ground when they put a ball at home, Leeds's water fighting ability is simply against the sky, and the mastering of the ball is terrifyingly fast. Unfortunately, the time is too short, and Leeds' foundation is still zero, which is a bit difficult to handle. .
"Anyway, all in all, when you get to Port Kiliga, how about you try diving to see how long you can stay underwater before you can breathe?" Waka didn't mind helping Leeds, who didn't even know what a waterball was. Do some training, it won't take much time and won't affect his escort work.
"I know this training is necessary, but it's still difficult for me to understand the game without going to the waterball court." The big water polo in the air is destined to be "full of water, but not the same as being underwater". Maybe even the buoyancy and water pressure are different.
"There is no way. Except for the teams in big cities, other teams don't have this condition." Waka is also very helpless. Can't win a game every year.
"… Hmm." There is no doubt that Leeds is thinking about how to obtain the right to use the venue before the game after arriving at Luke.
"By the way, are you really going to participate? Are there not enough people yet?" Waka still wanted to dig people... But it was not the novice Leeds, but the master Tida.
"This is not a problem, I have a lot of teammates~" In this case, pulling the teammates of "Main World" to make up the number of participants should not be considered cheating, right
