My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

Luke opened his inventory and looked at the icons of the Biped Rabbit meat, Biped Rabbit leather, and the Wooden Swords, in that same order.

Luckily, he had not dared to use the swords when he fought the Rabbits, and since he was now out of options, that was the only useful thing he could use.

As soon as the training sword started to come out of the bright yellow square, Luke pulled it so hard that there was almost no resistance.

In the midst of a swift thrust, he raised the saber to shoulder height, with the blade facing forward, and just as he had done with one of the Giant Spiders, Luke hurled the sword toward the horse's eye.

Trrrack! The sword broke into dozens of pieces when it hit the horse's visor, which was made of the same metal as the knight's armor.

"Tsk! What the fuck..." The half-wolf complained, having to suddenly turn direction.

Since the knight didn't expect this sudden move made by Luke, he also lost his horse's direction a bit, which alleviated his opponent's mistake.

Seeing this, Luke took advantage of the monster's recovery time to grab another sword, and when he turned around, he saw the knight already running towards him, while the scythe dragged on the ground and generated sparks.

Vuuupt! Another training sword cut the arena in half, heading towards the Dark Horse's eye and... Prrraft! It dug deep into the creature's left eye, which took critical damage and rose up under its hind legs, finally creating a viable opening for Luke.

Luke then ran towards the horse to take advantage of this mistake. In a deft leap, he managed to reach the monster's large neck and clawed it. Since his plan only consisted of creating a chance, the half-wolf had to improvise, so he tried to break the horse's neck.

However, that was not a normal monster like Kobolds, Goblins, and not even like Biped Rabbits. So, the moment he applied force to twist the creature's limb, he felt the creature's fibrous muscles and also the one clear weak point.

But the adventurer didn't want to end up dead, so he managed to be quick enough to spin himself around and hit the monster's jugular with a powerful one-handed blow. Prrrraft! The half-wolf's fist went through the neck on the way in and finished the monster on the way back.

During the horse's fall, Luke jumped up and caught the egg, which was falling.

"Do you feel better now?" He shouted angrily, scrambling away from the mess.

The feet of the half-beast's worn soles, scraped on the metal floor of the place as he skidded at speed.

The knight expressed no reaction as he fell, only instinctively stood up and swung his spear with his right arm, generating a bit of wind.

Luke didn't understand what was happening, yet he felt compelled to keep fighting, not for himself, but for his companions who were waiting for him in the old shed.

Although he was at a great disadvantage, the half-wolf was the first to move after a few moments, because he knew that he would be at a disadvantage if he was the second to act.

However, now everything would depend on his ability to dodge because the Knight didn't look fast at all. Not wanting to part with the egg any longer, Luke tucked it under his left arm and ran towards the monster, aiming for a direct fight, force against force.

Luke was instantly punished for naïve thinking. As soon as he got close, the monster's powerful scythe slashed toward him and although it didn't physically hit the half-wolf, it spewed out a miasma made of darkness, which he couldn't dodge in time.

'Aaaaargh! Damn, that burns!' Luke gasped internally, yet remained serious on the outside, focused on his opponent. 'I won't be able to infiltrate as easily as I had hoped.'

Then the half-wolf was surprised by another burst of the dark matter and fortunately managed to jump it in time.

"Haa... Haa... This guy is as strong as Apparition of the Sun, but at least that turd would give me some openings... Fuck it, I have to keep moving forward."

Even in the situation, he was in, Luke kept trying to move forward and as a consequence of this recklessness, he was hit by many more blows from this dark magic with no chance to react.

Besides being physically tired, the half-wolf was also mentally shaken and frustrated that none of his advances had yielded results. By now, he had realized how weak he was and how limited his repertoire of abilities had proven to be over the past few days.

So, he had another absurd idea, but one that might work: shorten the process of skill assimilation by hundreds of times. Since he had no way of knowing what the <Vind> skill would be, Luke had to pray that it was an offensive enough skill to be his trump card.

Once he decided to go with that idea, Luke retreated to the edge of the circular arena.

The Knight migrated between long-distance and medium distance attacks in such a random way that the half-wolf couldn't find patterns.

At first, it was a challenge for Luke to focus on the battle and his subconscious at the same time, however, seconds passed, and he realized it was possible.

The monster kept attacking incessantly, while the Adventurer deflected fluidly. Sometimes the Egg was thrown upwards and then was safely caught by the man, who was not only protecting himself but also a dream of making his companions happy.

After three minutes of pure focus, Luke saw something appear in his mind and felt confident to react. Since he was five meters away from the Horseman, Luke didn't wait until the monster has a chance to throw another batch of black miasma, and ran towards him, ready to attack with whatever the ability was.

However, the Knight's scythe was fast, so it managed to expel the dark magic in time.

Luke saw in slow motion the black particles coming towards him in a half-moon shape, identical to the scythe, yet the man did not despair. In the next instant, he quickly raised his left arm and left only his index and middle finger raised.

Swwwwoshh! A strong gust of wind was generated by this movement, dissipating the miasma immediately. Soon after, Luke heard the voice in his head say:

[Skill <Vind> learned. Now you can master the wind.]
