"Garwyr, do you use any weapons other than a dagger and a bow?"
"I can use any weapons, I just prefer to use on certain occasions."
"When do you use them then?"
"I use a bow when I am hunting and a dagger if I am going on a combat."
"But can't you also use a spear when going on a hunt, and use swords or something similar if you are going on a fight?"
"While spears can be used for hunting and is much easier to incapacitate monsters, it is not good for such since most monsters that I hunt are prone to danger, so they ran away quickly."
"And the swords?"
"I only use swords if I wanna fight seriously, I just preferred daggers since they are very versatile and easier to use when I want to defeat them quickly."
"I see, I see."
"So what brought that up?"
"Hmm? I was wondering if there are any weapon skills."
"Uh huh..."
"Can martial arts be considered skills? Hmm... Say, do you use any martial arts?"
"I don't."
"Really? But you can fight so well."
"I just fight using only my instinct."
"Ah, like freestyles?"
"Something like that."
"Huh... If that is the case, then you have a talent in fighting."
"You could say that."
He looked smug even though he had a blank expression. I pinched his cheek since he was getting cheeky.
"Owwww."
"Hmph. So anyways, you can fight with any weapons. I guess you can even defeat a monster with hand to hand combat."
"No. That's not possible."
"Huh? You said you can use any weapons!"
"How can I use any weapon if I do hand to hand combat?!"
"Well, Duh! You use gauntlets."
"That's not even a weapon. That's just a piece of armor."
"What? You don't use gauntlets when fighting in hand to hand combat?"
"Hand to hand combat is for brawling, not for defeating monsters!"
"Huh? How come?"
"You can't defeat any monsters with just that since you can't do anything impactful to kill them. Besides, you are also risking yourself being armless. It's common sense."
"You don't use Mana to envelope your body to do that?"
"There are only a handful of people who can use Mana. Using weapons is much easier."
"... So, you don't do that?"
"Of course not."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Really, really?"
"Why are you being so persistent about this?"
"Cuz I want to see you fight with hand to hand combat."
"Ugh, even if you say that, I cannot defeat a monster with that even for me."
"Then, if I show you how, then can you do it?"
"You can't even use a bow properly."
"Hey, Rude! I can teach you how since I have some knowledge of that."
From games and movies.
"What makes you so confident with that?"
"Secret~."
"Secret, my foot! Just say that it's because of your past life."
"Oh, so you knew?"
"That's because you keep saying that when you talk about something ridiculous."
"It's not ridiculous. It's the truth!"
"To who?"
"To me!"
"Ugh, I can't keep with this..."
He sighed loudly as he shook his head. I smiled smugly since I felt like I won.
"Why do you want to see me fight with hand to hand combat anyway?"
"Because I want to see someone doing fancy Kung Fu moves in real life!"
I said excitedly as my eyes sparkled. Since this is a fantasy-like world, I can see some amazing things that are not possible back on earth. I decided to live fully without regrets in this world, so I'm gonna do what I wanted to do.
"Kung what now?"
"Kung Fu! Pleeeeeeease, Garwyr?"
I looked at him with puppy eyes.
"... Alright, I'll do it."
"Yay!"
"I hope you know that you are doing."
"No worries! Just trust me!"
Since I have played a ton of fighting games and watched a ton of movies, I can surely teach him how. I hope...
"Alright! You go on hunting while I come up with a training plan! And while I am at it, I'll add some stuff for you to try. It will help me with some experiments."
"That's actually what you wanted, don't you?!"
"Teehee☆."
"Oh, fine."
With that, I was inside the house, planning all day while Garwyr was out hunting.
On the next day, We are now outside, sitting on a table as I handed him a notebook filled with details for training. I explained all of it as he studied them. He looked so shocked when I finished explaining all of them.
"What in the world is this? This is quite something..."
"Why, thank you."
"That is not a compliment! Are you sure I can do all of this?"
"Yeah, it may look impossible, but I know you can do it!"
If he can't do it, then I know it's not possible to do fancy moves like "One-inch punch".
"If you say so."
"Hehe, I know so. Now then, first, you have to train your body!"
"Okay, what do I do?"
"Do 100km marathon and do one hundred push-ups. Do the same with other exercises every day!"
"..."
Ah, whoops. I was just messing around. I doubt someone could actually do that since I have the opportunity to say it, I said it.
"Just kid-..."
"Alright, fine."
"Huh?!"
"I will try that, and if I fail, I'll keep trying until I can do it."
Wait! Is he really gonna do it?! Ah! No! STAPH! I was just kidding!
