it was said that the official name was “The Devil of Northland” but nobody used it, So it was only used when learning it in class…

“Fufu, you are still young, boy.
Do you really believe that swords are useless in real combat?” 

“W-What! Is that really true!? Or are you saying you can cut a flying Norde with your sword!?”

“I can!”

I strongly assured Nash, who was insisting, and turned to Miguel once again.

“Come, my Lord.
Hold your swords with both hands and stand there.”

“Huh? Yeah.
… is this okay?”

“That’s good.
Now close your eyes and … leave everything to me.”

“Okay.
…”

I stood behind Miguel as he closed his eyes.

“First of all, you should relax your whole body except for the hand that holds the sword and let your weight rest on me,… Like that.
Then I will slowly support my Lord’s body.
As I do so, be aware of where and how the force is applied.”

“Aware… of power…?”

“Oh, you don’t have to think too hard.
It’s sort of like this? Just about that.
See, slowly …”

I supported Miguel’s body, which had been leaning against me, and adjusted him to stand in “Honede Tatsu”1position.
It would still be difficult to replicate that on my own, but this time it didn’t matter, as long as I could maintain it for just a few moments.

“Now stand up straight.
Then the next step is the arm.
Swing them up and … down.
Normally, flawless swordsmanship would only be possible through tireless training, but this time, you can leave that to me.
Swing up and … down.
Up and … down.”

Five times in total, I took Miguel’s unstrained hand and made him swing the sword.
In other words, I was swinging the sword, so there was no shaking.

Naturally, this was not something that could be imitated overnight.
However, for this one moment, the proper swordsmanship was etched into Miguel’s arm.

“And lastly, I, A Human Spirit, will pour out my power upon my Lord.
Feel the warmth of our combined heartbeats.
The power My Lord seeks is already within His body.”

“There is power in me …?”

“There is.
Hundreds and thousands of years.
There is the power of a great man who has protected this land from evil.
I am a human spirit.
I can only do what a human being can do, and if I can do what a human being can do, I can do anything.
Then what I can do, My Lord can do.
Yes, you can.
If a human can protect the world, My Lord can also protect the world.
Compared to protecting the world, …”

I gently put my hand over Miguel’s eyes and made him open his eyelids.
In front of him, a short distance away, was a plain, ordinary rock.

“It’s no big deal to cut through a rock like that.”

“……………………”

Miguel, hypnotized by the effects of my banishment skill [Fraud Voice], slowly raised his sword.
The blade of the sword glowed with a pale light, and as soon as it was lowered, a round slash like a crescent moon flew toward the rock.

It was a skill that the Hero Alexis excelled at.
It was a technique that Miguel, also a Hero, preempted only for a blink of an eye at the end of his self-effacement.

“……………………”

Fuuush 

A large stone was slashed and slid down.
Nash and Thomas, as well as the children who had been watching the scene around them, stopped clamoring and were stunned by the sight.

“… Eidos, what was that?”

Miguel, who realized what he had done before anyone else, raised his head and looked up at me.

“Fufufu~, Surprised? That is the power of man.
That is the skill wielded by the greatest swordsman I have ever known.
Its name is [Moonscraper]”

“Mooon-scraaperr….
that I…?”

“Yeah.
Isn’t it amazing what human beings can do?”

“… Yeah, I agree.
Eidos is the best.”

Having used far more than his share of strength, Miguel once again leaned on me.
His face, exhausted, nonetheless had a joyful smile on it.
