Master and Disciple’s (pet dog) Methods of Fighting

Before the match began, we gathered the opponent’s information visually a little. (ED Note: Their power levels must be negative lol)

The opponent team is a group of nobles with Alstore as a leader, and there are three servants who wear heavy-looking iron armor. Certainly there’s nothing written on armor, but nothing but their wooden swords could be used as weapons.

There was an unknown man in the group and surprisingly he’s wearing full body armor. He’s holding iron shield and wooden spear engraved with Alstore household crest.

His face can’t be seen because of full face helmet. Unlike some nobles, he gives off an intimidating feeling. He’s definitely not a noble…perhaps he’s a mercenary?

The height is not too different compared to us but since the shoulder width is unusual. Is he of the dwarf race? Since it seems unlikely there is a mercenary in Gregory’s class, are they employing him for the sake of this match, I wonder…

Again, this isn’t written in the rules…to come to school is rather refreshing. Since Alstore is using magic only, he’s dressing lightly. It seems it’s not a problem.

Anyways, they were heavily armed in contrast with us who were lightly dressed. The school designated robe has some defense but it’s difficult to move in, so we removed it. Reus prepared one sword at the back of his light knitted leather armor and another piece on hand while I wore an ordinary clothes that easy to move and with empty handed. I’m anxious about experiencing a battle here, but it doesn’t feel strange.

Although there is a clear difference in both equipment and number of people, Reus and I don’t feel that we will be defeated at all. Even if the opponent has iron armor, there are many ways to deal with it.

I conveyed the strategy decided in advance to Reus by a hand signal.
