Chereads / The Ancient Shield Warrior / Chapter 19 - Team up

Chapter 19 - Team up

The system is explaining the relationship between MT and Magic.

Hmmm...

I give Aria a brief glance.

She had quieted much Mana, she also had quite much strength. But why is she not using High Magic Type? *As I look at her status.

Yoga: "Hmmm..."

Then I notice something strange.

Yoga: "Wait, why is she not leveling up yet?"

Aria: "U-Ummm..."

Myra: "I'm just leveling up."

Yoga: "Hm? You do?"

Ayla: "I'm also leveling up too, master."

I look up to see Ayla calling me. Then I blinked my left eye at her. The system came seemingly out of nowhere.

Yugo: "Hooo... You did..."

I saw that the status is the same. She should be able to spend two points on her position.

Yugo: "But why you still had the same status point?"

Ayla: "Uh... That's because I haven't invested it yet. Probably I'll invest it later after this training."

She said it while keeping both hands at the front of her chest.

Then I see Myra on my right side. Another system arose out of nowhere.

Myra also did level up... The strength point is getting higher... So she investing in it.

Hmmm... *Looking back at Aria.

Is it because her level is already high? So she was not able to level up?

Yugo: "Hey Aria... Did your experience point still far away?" *Since I'm questioning if the experience point was high.

Aria: "Ummm... About that." *She tries to turn slowly.

The wolf simply sits comfortably in the center. It appears that it does not harm him after all.

Aria: "I have a negative 40 experience point right now... Hehe..." *As she put her left hand on her back head.

Ayla, Myra, and Me: "Eh? Negative 40?"

Goka: "Wahahaha! It seems you all still don't know about that."

Myra: "How even is that possible?"

Aria: "I-I don't know either... I just checked it just now..."

Goka: "That's happened because you attacked your own friend before. It's called a penalty."

Goka: "Each time you hit your friend. You will get a negative 40 points on your experience."

Goka: "It does not level down your level. But the penalty will make you need to train more than the normal."

Goka: "And it does not have a limit, that's why you should be careful."

Ahh... So that's how it works.

Yoga: "Then could you just not hit Myra again? Just hit the wolf in front of you Aria."

Aria: "That's..." *She started to tiers up again.

Aria: "I actually can't do it. I don't want the cutie to get hurt."

Ah... So that's why she was struggling to hit her. *Realizing that all of her magic was always placed in the wrong spot when she cast it. But she can hit it if she closes her eyes. And it happened the first time too.

Now I get it... But what about Ayla? *As I look at Ayla.

Hmmm...

Yoga: "Ayla... Can you try to heal Myra for me?"

Ayla looking at me.

Ayla: "Etoo... Ye-Yes... I can do that, master."

Then she raises her staff.

Ayla: "Heal!"

The green glow then dissipated on my body rather than Myra's.

I think I get it... *As I look at my body.

Yugo: "It's seeming your heal will never work as a targetable person, but instead it will work for close people from your side."

Ayla: "Eh?" *She seems a bit confused with her head leaning to the left side trying to understand it.

Yugo: "For example, like what you did just now, you wanted to heal Myra right? but I was right in the middle of you and Myra."

Yugo: "Then as soon as you try to heal Myra, you healed me instead of her right?"

Ayla: "Um." *She nodded.

Yugo: "Then it's meant to heal Myra, you should come closer toward Myra and it should work."

Ayla: "Hooo... I get it..." *As she gets excited hearing that.

Myra looked at me as surprised that I can use my brain for the first time.

Myra: "Now can I do it right now?" *She mentions and asks if she can switch places with Aria.

Goka: "To be honest, if you train one by one like this, you will only be slowing up your level."

Goka: "Especially you, the young man. You are also still stuck at level one until now."

Yugo: "Ah... I just realize it."

I did not think that far, I just thought about the other girl but not my level.

Goka: "If you already find the problem, then you should try fighting together again you know..."

Hmmm... His right...

Myra: "Yea I also agree about that."

Ayla: "I also agree with Mr. Wolf. I think it's a good idea."

Goka: "Mr-Mr??" *The wolf blushing shock.

Then we all agreed to do what the wolf instructed. We were still inside the circle when Goka reset us. The wolf is still in the center, and we are all standing on the circle's rim. While Ayla pats her own head again after falling.

I had already instructed Aria to attack while closing her eyes. She understands what I'm saying. I also instructed the wolf to attack. The wolf nodded, indicating that he understood.

And I ask Ayla to try to get closer to someone who has been injured because her heal was activated within a closer ally.

Yugo: "Alright!"

Now... I will use my shield to protect my team from the attack. *I'm still holding my wooden shield on my left arm in a circle shape. The size of the shield is not that big, and also not heavy.

I feel we can do this right now...

Hmmm...

I got an idea... *As I smiled.

Yugo: "Aria!"

Aria: "Eh? I'm first?"

Yugo: "Just listen to me."

Aria: "Um. Okay."

Then she raises her left hand to raise her floating book. Then, as I had instructed her, she closed her eyes.

Aria: "Blast of Fire!"

The quick blue aura vaporized within her.

Goka: "Hm?"

Goka notices something hot emanating from beneath him once more. It's the same circle that Aria created before.

By jumping to the right side of him, the wolf rapidly avoids the explosion.

Yugo: "Myra!" *As I said it was quickly after seeing the Goka movement.

*BLAR!

Myra: "Alright."

Then she lifts both weapons. Both swords are facing forward. She also takes a single stride forward with her left foot, lowering her body slightly.

Myra: "Falling Paralysis Crush."

The rapid blue aura vanished within her, and she moved quickly in the same rhythm. She leaps above the wolf, swinging both of her head swings from the top of her head toward the wolf. Both of her swords have a small amount of lightning on them.

Myra has already approached Goka, who has just landed on the earth. He looks up as she prepares to strike him.

Myra: "Haaagh!"

*DARR!

Myra landed on the ground, blasting a large bust and blurring the vision. Then Goka jumped from the dust to his right, followed by Myra.

Myra strikes her sword at the wolf several times as she follows it. As she continues to swing, the sword's lightning steadily depletes. But Goka manages to avoid every single one of her swings.

I blinked my left eye swiftly toward the wolf. The system arose out of nowhere.

Yugo: "She hit it."

Then Myra dashes toward the wolf, swinging her sword. Goka suddenly lifts his right claw, just as he did before she hit him. The claw then struck her, knocking her back. The wolf strikes like a gust of wind, resembling three green claws, and knocks her away from it. It was around the same size as her body.

Ayla is well aware of her responsibilities at the moment. She rushed to the right side of Myra. Then, in a matter of seconds, she was almost there.

Ayla: "Heal!" *She comes to a halt behind her and lifts her staff. This time, Myra's body was dissolved by a brief green glow. The healing is now taking effect.

Yugo: "Aria!"

Aria hastily raises her floating book in her left hand as she realizes the task. She then closed her eyes once more.

Aria: "Blast of Fire!"

The swift blue aura vanished within her.

As the wolf successfully knocked Myra back, another white circle appeared beneath him, with red fire runes in the center that quickly turned redder.

The circle immediately exploded, leaving a cloud of dust that obscured visibility.

Suddenly, the wolf emerges from the dust, but he leaps toward us.

Goka raises his right claw, which is poised to strike Aria. Another resembling three green claws materialized and moved toward her.

When I realize it, I quickly move in front of her, raising my shield.

*TRAK!

As the claw struck my shield.

The claw struck my wooden shield and miraculously did not damage it, but the claw vanished and I was forced back a little, stopping exactly in front of Aria's body.
