Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 59: Regret is the first step of growth

Well, school is over and I go home. So I logged into the game, but I'm depressed. After all, I didn't re-summon Lily and the others yesterday. I tried to think of something to say to Lily and the others, but I couldn't start until I actually saw them and talked to them.

So, I logged in and checked my status first. Level up by 3. My combat skills had skyrocketed.

I can see how rampant I was yesterday. And my bare-handed skill had evolved into fighting skill. This is because the info flowed when my bare-handed skill went from Lv5 to Lv10.

『The bare-handed skill has reached Lv10. Bare-handed skill has evolved into fighting skill』

The first thing I did was to check the title I got yesterday.

Title 『PKK』

Effect: Special attack against PKs.

A title that can be obtained by defeating a certain number of PKs.

Title: 『Flawless Champion』

Effect: Special attack in duels.

This title can be obtained by defeating several players in a duel without injury.

Also, new magic and martial arts techniques have been released. Here's the confirmation.

Fighting 【Straight】, 【Jab】

Kicking 【Roundhouse Kick】, 【Dropkick】

Staff 【Magic Circle】, 【Entrust】

Wind Magic 【Far Wind】, 【Atmosphere】

Fire Magic 【Fire Shower】, 【Burst】

Earth Magic 【Tremor】, 【Earth Wall】

Water Magic 【Water Cutter】, 【Splash】

Dark Magic 【Sleep】, 【Illusion】

Light Magic 【Laser】, 【Clear】

Lightning Magic 【Shock Bolt】, 【Thunder Branch】

Explosion Magic 【Rave Rot】, 【Red Ray】

Wood Magic 【Poison】, 【Vine Bind】

Ice Magic 【Freeze】, 【Icicle Arrow】

Space-time Magic 【Communication】, 【Appose】

When I checked that, I couldn't help but click my tongue. I should have tried it with the guys from yesterday, like Poison. The money I have is also amazing. It exceeds 100,000 G. How many did I kill?

Now that I'm done checking, let's re-summon Lily and the others. When I re-summon them, Lily and Ion appear. I knew it was coming, but still I'm relieved to see them.

The first thing the summoned Lily and the others do is...Lily jumps on me, crying.

"Takuto!!"

But Ion, who was faster than Lily, intervened from the side and Lily crashed into the wall. Hey, Lily, are you okay? Ion came hugging me.

"Takuto-san, are you okay!? Are you hurt or something? I'm sorry"

I pat Ion on the head and let her do the same. And Lily, who crashed into the wall also comes here.

"Ouch...Ion-chan"

She hit her face, so she was in a lot of pain. For the time being, I will also stroke Lily's head as she approaches. Lily smiles with a pleasant smile. Now that I've calmed down, let's talk about yesterday.

"I'll tell you what. Thank you, both of you. Thank you both for fighting for me"

"Eh!? N, No. I couldn't do anything about it"

I stopped Ion's words with a pat on the head.

"Whatever the outcome, let me say thank you"

"Takuto-san..."

"Takuto..."

"I took care of those people by myself, so I'm safe"

""Eh!?""

Ah, I intended to say it in a natural way, but wasn't it...well, isn't it normal?

"Wh, What do you mean!?"

Ion asks me. I'm not sure what to do...I'm talking about the fact that I lost my temper when I saw them being defeated, but for now, I decided to talk about it in an offhand way.

"Takuto-san, you're that strong..."

"I wanted to see the real Takuto!"

Lily. I don't think the day will ever come when I'll be able to show you guys what I look like. If I did my fighting style with Lily's strength, it would be a more deadly sight than I did. Well, I'm not a killer, so I'll have a big smile on my face...yeah, that's scary. I'll stop thinking about it.

"I understand the situation. But it's still frustrating"

"Lily is frustrated too~!"

I can understand your frustration, but don't flutter your legs on the bed. I can see inside your skirt! I can't see through the security!

"If you're feeling frustrated, don't forget it"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, my mentor said that the first step in growth is frustration"

"A step of growth..."

Lily ponders. Yes, you can worry about it. It's also a step of growth.

"What kind of person was your master, Takuto-san?"

Ion asks me. Well, can I tell you?

"He was strict with himself and strict with others"

"Takuto´s master sounds scary"

Lily's impression is very true. He was so scary that it made me wonder if there was anyone as scary as him. He was also known as the modern-day Hijikata Toshizo.

"He was definitely a scary man, but his harshness was also his kindness. He was a clumsy man"

Lily and Ion nodded their heads. Well, I guess it's a kindness that's hard to understand. Leaders protect their students from danger by teaching them strictly. By being strict, they encourage their students to grow. This is because all those who go on to become leaders know this. The reality is not so kind that you can become a strong player only halfway.

In case you're wondering, my teacher's teaching style was hard and messy. After a week of bare-knuckle swinging and footwork, he wanted me to learn everything I could from actual fighting. We would hold a bamboo sword and play a match where anything was possible.

When I used my trump card at the time, a stone pebble, he saw it and didn't call it a foul, but was more than happy to attack me. I can't tell you how many times he beat me up...I guess each time he made me feel frustrated, he encouraged my growth.

He was happy when I started to copy his moves and techniques and even happier when I applied them. He was really a troubled old man. By the way, he was a relative of my real parents and he was the one who introduced me to this game part-time job.

I told Lily and Ion about my history of being beaten up and they seemed to understand the meaning of frustration as a step toward growth.

It was up to them to grow up from now on. I'll be watching their growth as their master. After I finished talking with Lily and Ion, I summoned Setia. She's angry. I haven't summoned her since yesterday. But when I make it to dinner first, Setia follows me, her cheeks puffed out.

I go downstairs and get my food, doing my usual bite. Then I explain to Setia what happened yesterday. Lily and Ion look disgusted, but I have to tell them the truth. Then, the two of them are being verbally attacked by Setia. They were even forced to sit on the floor. She's giving them a lecture, but I'm in the kitchen, so I don't care.

I hadn't summoned them earlier. As an apology, I patted her on the head and she forgave me.

"It's unfair Takuto~!"

"That's against the law! Takuto-san!"

Lily and Ion were still sitting on the floor, complaining to me. I felt secretly saved by the usual scene, but I was too embarrassed to tell them about it, so I'll keep it to myself.
