Nori, I want a skill called "Virtual Combat". This skill is to allow me to perform virtual combat against simulated opponents to improve my combat skills.
[Command accepted]
[Virtual Combat is created]
I went to the training area and activated the skill. Suddenly a person appeared in front of me, but Nori had adjusted the skill so that the simulated opponent was framed in red so as not to cause any confusion with reality.
I recognized the young man I had lost to in the tournament. This was my opportunity to match wits with him and test my skills.
When he ran at me, I reacted quickly and brought him down. Hesitantly, I thrust my training sword against his chest. At that moment, the simulation crumbled.

I realized that the boy who had defeated me in the tournament had used that very back-slapping skill.
Armed with my brother's sword handle and my ever-growing fighting skills, the kids no longer posed a real challenge.

The next opponent was a mercenary boy who used a most unusual tactic. He spat, threw sand, and insulted me constantly while repeatedly pretending to attack me, only to follow up with a kick. He loudly yelled "head splitter" and nearly kicked me in my sensitive body region. But I remained focused and responded.
In a quick counterattack, I also used a fake head splitter, faked a sword move to distract him, and then landed a precise blow to his head. The simulation crumbled
