After a battle that took several minutes, Jormungand was finally defeated, and his body was floating on the surface of the sea at this time. In the process, Szecil exerts little energy as it gains an advantage in the elements used and the energy supply derived from Shoggoth.
Jormungand's body did not have many injuries other than the charred wounds that filled his body. His long tongue protruded outward and his eyes were completely white. His life is not threatened at this time because it was only exposed to stun wounds that caused shock, but depending on what Szees did next, he could have been skinned for scales to be taken.
“Woah..!” Peruru approached Szees using his canoe. “You are so great, yes, Sze. I didn't expect, you could defeat a penther by yourself with the help of some of your penther skills. Are you actually a professional trainer who has retired for several reasons?”
Peruru has been sitting behind the reception desk for years to cater to foreign trainers who want to enroll in the race. This long experience makes him have a fairly good ability to judge the abilities of others. Of course, he already knew what kind of tricks the trainer was used to.
“Not really.” Sziz shook his head when he replied. “I am just a “beginner” who happens to have a lot of experience in practicing using weapons and martial arts. So, fighting an enemy like this is not something that is very difficult for me to do.” He paused for a moment to take a breath before continuing, “You alone will also be able to do the same as what I did during doing hard and intense training for several years.”
“No, no. I guess, I wouldn't be able to do such a thing with this fragile body of mine.” Peruru was a little nervous because she felt that Szec might force her to do training like a madman. “You're too humbling yourself. With your strength, it is certain that you are a professional trainer who just woke up.”
‘Yah.. it is also not wrong, anyway.’ Szes is silent while smiling gently at Peruru. ‘Basically, I have been a trainer in this world in the past to do some exercises in creating my own version of a pet house. It is also not wrong to call me a professional who returns to work after so many years.’
‘Not to mention, I live in a world that is harder than this world, so I have the ability to fight beyond humans in this world. It gave me an advantage in close combat and did not rely too much on penthr in the process.’
‘My only shortcoming is that I don't have so much stamina that I can't do long-term fights. However, at least I was good enough in the control of natural energy that caused me to be able to deliver powerful attacks in the early days of the fight. Plus, my partner is giving the advantage in the form of energy capacity in large quantities.’
“From talking about that, don't we have something more important to discuss?” Szid distracts. “I've managed to beat that colossal penther. Now, this place will have a safer future in the absence of savage predators in this place. Do you think I will get “some” money and appreciation if I give proof of this massacre to them–people of the city–?”
“Yes! It would definitely be great if they knew about this ability of yours. I'm sure, the Trainer Association will appreciate your hard work to beat a penny this big by yourself in such a short time, which they themselves couldn't do until now.” Peruru became excited about it.
‘Addressions and compliments?’ Szec looked up at the sky thinking about this. ‘I myself do not really want praise from the other party for what I do. Precisely this will be troublesome when my name is widespread, with as a result I might be more easily found by the girl–Elena–. Better, I was careful and hid than to do such an overly conspicuous act, so I will not spread the word about me beating this penther on them.’
‘About Jormungand, it's not too bad if I hand this over to the Trainer Association by additionally forbidding them to disseminate about me defeating him alone. But, will they believe if I defeat this creature alone? Doing this isn't something most people can do, so I'm going to have a little bit of a hard time making up stories about how I beat him.’
Szes was once in this world and also became a trainer before even though it was just to learn about how to make a pet house. If the Trainer Association knew about him defeating Jormungand alone, the Association would certainly be looking for data about Szesic because his existence would exert a lot of influence as one of the powerful individuals who came to this world.
Then when his identity as a trainer in the past disappeared for a long time, this would be troublesome for Szesic because he again needed to make up another story that could be used to fool the Association, he said, but this itself is also not easy because it requires a story that is interconnected. Just a little information about the origin of his strength, the Association would immediately research it to get where Szec's power came from.
Having more strong personnel would certainly be something that many parties wanted because with it their power would be higher in position. But when the origin of Sze's power is not found, there will be more suspicion and accusations that lead to him, which also makes him need to make more stories.
Therefore, always act honestly and do not make a lie. One small lie will lead to a big lie to make the small lie more convincing. But when the big lie starts to be doubted, then someone will make another lie to cover up the lie. Then when all the lies are exposed, then the name of someone will immediately fall.
“Huh... I have a better idea than taking her to the city.” Szec issued a pet house that was slightly larger than most.
*cring!*
Throwing slowly the pet house towards Jormungand, this large creature was absorbed in and turned the pet house shining with sea blue.
“Alright, it's enough to get here what we did today.” Szec up to the sampan Peruru. “Next, let's go back to the city, then I'll go travel.”
‘Now I remember. This fight is ruining the ecosystem, so instead of getting compliments, I'm going to get stoned and get painful death woes from all of them.’
“Eh? Ba-Good...” Peruru was a little surprised by Szes's behavior, but he kept moving his canoe.
