Local Netizen Elf’s Life In Another World Case 14: Combat training

Case 14: Combat training.

Hello there, I'm Sylvia, 13 years old. I'm going to have to save the world, in like, 22 more years.

Saving the world ans that I'll probably have to go to war with demons soday. I am aware of that.

So I asked my dad, an Archmage to teach combat when I turned 6. At first, it was just Dad teaching magic, but then it evolved into combating monsters that my dad made. Sotis my friends join too. Though Emy would usually train with her swordmaster dad and Liana would train with the Marquess.

I wonder what monster I'll face today...

Walking to the training field, I can see my dad standing there with my two friends.

''Hey Dad, you two as well. What are we doing today?''

''Ah, daughter, here you are.'' Dad and the gals turn to ''Today I'll test the three of you together.''

''Sure, what monster are we fighting today?''

''Confident enough to face a dragon?'' Dad says, smiling.

''''...''''

For your information, a normal dragon is as strong as a 1 or 2-star Master, and he wants us to battle one.

''Honestly? I think we can do it.'' I reply.

''...I don't mind doing it.'' Emy speaks up after pondering for a bit.

''Well, I'm screwed.'' Liana smiles weakly. ''You guys are going to drag in this anyway, right?''

Seeing this, my dad's smile grows wider. ''Don't worry, you won't die.''

That did not inspire confidence at all, Dad.

We start to get into position, Emy unsheathes her long sword with obsidian gems sticking on the cross guard on the end of the handle, she then mana coats the blade with the mana from her sword and her two bracelets, making the whole sword and her bracelets glow in golden.

Liana bounces the scythe sitting on the floor behind her with her feet, spinning it a few tis before holding it horizontally to her right. Her new scythe is still longer than her height, it's a pitch-black one with eralds on the end poles of the handle. Just like Emy, the scythe and the gem on her necklace begin to glow in green as she uses the mana to coat the scythe.

And I pull out, well, nothing, I can't exactly use my super AP bullets here, the dragon's scales and its magic shield are quite literally impossible to break normally, but I think I can banish it to the shadow realm in one shot through the mouth or the eyes, and that'll be cheating. So I'll have to do with my magic here.

In fact, that's what people do to defeat dragons, just target the eyes and mouth, and sotis its belly. Gotta take advantage of the opponent's weak points.

Dad concentrates a bit, then focuses the mana onto the other side of the field. Slowly, I can see a red dragon a size of a 4 stories building erging, it has giant legs with sharp claws, thick scales everywhere except its belly, a long tail that moves like a snake, golden eyes with vertical black slits, an open mouth full of sharp teeth, and above all, a giant pair of wings.
