Chapter 37.1
“Well then, show me your skills . ”
Ludriad-san is seriously uninterested in helping . He stands behind me, carefree, as though this were some sort of spectacle . My right hand is finally released, but I can’t help but feel a bit doubtful .
From what I can tell, he’s the squad leader of the patrolling soldiers . I just wish he’d maintain order whenever he sees a problem in front of his eyes .
Well, I can’t really count on someone who isn’t motivated .
Also, this is my chance to prove that I can solve this problem myself . Fortunately, even though these fake dragon tribesmen have grim appearances, they don’t come off as that big a threat . I’m always competing against Mistral after all . In my eyes, these more than twenty scoundrel, fake, dragon tribesmen are nothing compared to a sole Mistral .
My determination is met with grins full of ridicule . They’re completely looking down on me . Well, it can’t be helped . They’re burly men with various weapons in their hands while their opponent is a young boy with nothing more than a strange wooden sword on the right side of his waist . Still, I’ll teach them to resent their current behavior .
I draw out a wooden sword of the spirit tree with my left hand and then raise my right hand over my head . Afterwards, I concentrate and polish my dragon spirit . I draw power from the dragon vein and refine it into dragon spirit within my body just like during my training . From there, I converge it into my raised right palm .
The fake dragon tribesmen can’t feel my dragon spirit at all . They’re completely at ease as they watch my movements . If they were real dragon tribesmen, they would have been surprised by my polishing of dragon spirit . Them not reacting at all is proof that they are fakes . With that confirmation, I release my gathered dragon spirit with a yell .
“…”
“…”
“…”
A chicken appears under at my feet . It appears from a deep emerald haze . That’s right, this is my own special technique!
Well, even if I give it a fancy title, it still just looks like a chicken . Not just the fake dragon tribesmen, even Ludriad-san, stare at the chicken .
The chicken which manifested from my dragon spirit, which moves exactly like a genuine chicken, walks towards the fake dragon tribesmen .
“…”
Even now, the fake dragon tribesmen can’t make sense of the strange situation happening before their eyes . They simply watch on in dumbfoundment .
The chicken continues into the midst of the fake dragon tribesmen without concern . Once there, it vanishes . Afterwards, a green mist surrounds the fake dragon tribesmen .

“Ha?”
“…What are you even trying to do?”
The fake dragon tribesmen look at me as though I’m a fool .
“Tch, I can’t believe we just went along with a fool…!”
They get over their shock and irritation settles on their faces . As one of the fake dragon tribesmen goes to move, he collapses .
“Wha…”
“Ogh…!?”
They collapse one after other with expressions of anguish . This confirms that my technique was a success .
“W-what’s…”

However, it seems like some of them still can endure it . They stagger about as try to fix their grips over their weapons .
Mumumu, they must have magic power .
The moment I think that, I’ve already jumped behind a fake dragon tribesmen who hasn’t collapsed . I strike him down with the spirit tree, wooden sword, I hold in my left hand . Following that, I immediately jump to another one and take him out with a spin kick .
The remaining two are a bit far away . Even though they’re shocked by my sudden movements and are staggering about, they continue to grip their weapons . Still, at that same moment, I appear behind them . As they lose sight of me, I knock one down with my sword . The other turns his head, but I deck him in the solar plex .
I suppressed all of the fake dragon tribesmen in a flash . My satisfaction doesn’t last for long, though . I’m overcome by dizziness sit down on the spot .
Ludriad-san, after confirming that the battle has finished, claps as he makes his way over to me .
“No way, you’ve really shown me something interesting . I didn’t think you this much of an expert . My eyes couldn’t see you at all . ”
He approaches me with a smile . Then, he looks around at the fallen fake dragon tribesmen around me .
“I’m curious about what kind of technique you are using . If possible, I’d really like for you to teach me . ”

Even though Ludriad-san seems to be very interested, that’s impossible . I cannot teach him the technique I used, it is an application of my dragon spirit . I created it after that experience against the magical swordsman in the ruins and through the advice of Mistral and Old Sleigstar .
At that time, even though I had almost no dragon spirit, I was able to draw an abundant of energy from the dragon vein . Doing that, however, repeatedly depleted and replenished my dragon spirit . It led to my weakening and needing to stay in bed for a long time .
So, what would happen if I forced my enemies to have dragon spirit? The results can be seen by the fake dragon tribesmen .
I condensed the polished dragon spirit and refined it into the form of a chicken . If you’re asking me why chicken, the reason is to make my opponents let down their guards . I could refine it into the forms of an arrow or spear, but my opponents might try to avoid it then . Furthermore, the range of this technique is quite narrow too . While it can’t be helped with the lack of my ability, I want to avoid leaking out that information . As such, I refined my dragon spirit into something weird .
Once the chicken gets inside the middle of a group, it vanishes . It returns to its original form as dragon spirit and spreads around the area . In regards to the fake dragon tribesmen, they were forced into a situation where they used up dragon spirit and therefore had to replenish that loss .
I had a hard time developing that part, but it worked out well .
Some of the fake dragon tribesmen were able to avoid collapsing . That is because they had magical power, something allowing them to resist the weakening . It’s a possibility I already considered . Jumping into their blind spots and strike them down .
There was no way for Ludriad-san to catch my movements . I was teleporting, after all .
