"Let's call it a day. Time for a break."
What? Already?
I blinked at Doran, half convinced I'd misheard. I was just starting to get the hang of it, and he wanted to stop now?
A faint shimmer popped up in front of me.
[Proficiency increase speed adjusted due to the presence of a master.]
…So that's the trick.
If I'd known Doran had this kind of cheat buff, I would've chained myself to him from the start.
"Let's push a little more," I said, adjusting my stance.
"Being enthusiastic is good but—"
His scarred eyelids twitched like he was about to have a fit, and then he barked out,
"Let me rest too! Do you plan on grinding me into dust?!"
"…Tch."
He's unbelievable. When it comes to flooring me with those ruthless parry counters, he's full of energy. But now? Now he's whining like a retiree with bad knees.
Shouldn't have taken on such a stubborn student if he didn't want to deal with the consequences.
