Arthur walked down the stair with a sulking expression on his face. And when Leonard the look that he was wearing, the guy couldn't help but ask. "What's with that look? I thought you are going to look for Shin to see what he is doing? Don't tell he manages to make a breakthrough or sothing."
Ugh!
Arthur suddenly grunted and glared at Leonard, signifying that the latter's words were right. And when Leonard saw that reaction, he couldn't help but wear an astounded look before asking. "Really?"
"Don't get started," answered Arthur before continuing to walk towards their backyard.
Seeing that, Leonard slightly knitted his brow before asking. "Where are you going? Don't tell the two of you are going for a spar right away?"
Arthur rolled his eyes at him and quickly replied. "What do you think of ? An Idiot? Of course, I know that this is an important state for Shin to solidify his foundation."
"What's more, that guy already set a sparring match with a pure swordsman, so I will not be able to fight him even if I wanted to," he added with a sulking tone.
"So, what are you going to do in the backyard?" asked Leonard in return.
Arthur sighed helplessly before answering. "What else? Of course, I need to make sure that everything is fine before the match starts. Shin is still doing his best to make his body adapt to his newly attained state, I have no choice but to prepare the things that needed to be done before his sparring partner arrive."
Leonard knitted his eyebrows for a mont before asking. "Speaking of it, who is his sparring partner going to be?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Arthur shook his head and replied. "I am also not sure but he said that that person is perfectly fit for the task, so I let it slide for now."
He then took a brief pause before adding. "Ah! Before I forget, can you look for Big Brother David and ask him if he can set up a barrier similar to the one that he created before?"
After that, Arthur walked out of the house, not waiting for Leonard to reply. In the anti, the latter knitted his eyebrows quite deeply before shrugging his shoulders and standing up from his seat.

anwhile, sowhere in the Eastern Sea Region, Eugene White was currently having a chess match against Nathan Springfield. The two of them were fully imrsed in the ga when their concentration was interrupted by a muscular man who suddenly appeared beside them.
"Hey!" said Joaquin Giovanni while wearing a deep frown.
Both Eugene and Nathan threw a sharp glare at the huge guy, clearly showing that they didn't care even if there was a huge difference in their body size.
Joaquin frowned his brow even further when he saw their actions and quickly said. "What's with that look, huh? I should be the one who has the right to get angry here!"
"I am supposedly doing ditation training right now, but that f*cking watch kept on ringing and interrupting my concentration!" he added while pointing to the Advance Watch on the tea table beside Eugene.
The Sword Immortal and the Dragon King simultaneously turned their heads towards the direction that Joaquin was pointing and saw that Eugene's watch was currently ringing with a loud noise.
The corner of their mouths a little before turning their heads back at the board in front of them and acting as if nothing had happened.
"These shaless bastards!" Joaquin gritted his teeth tightly as he glared at the two before raising his hand in the air, planning to smash it on the chessboard. But before he could even do that, a sword and a spear suddenly appeared in hands of the two, forcing him to think twice before making an action.
"F*ck! If you are that good then face in a one-on-one match!" he shouted at the two.
Unfortunately, both Eugene and Nathan seed to ignore him once again and do their own things. The latter focus his attention back on the ga and studied it once again while the forr picked up the call that he was getting.
"Hello?" said Eugene right after answering the call.
"I have a favor that I want to ask from your father," answered the voice from the other side of the call.
Hearing those words, Eugene couldn't help but smirk before replying with a sneering tone. "Hah! This is new! I thought that you don't want to get involved in everything until you accomplish everything that you need to accomplish within the academy."
"Are you going back on your words now?" he added sneeringly.
anwhile, Nathan and Joaquin, who managed to overhear the conversation, couldn't help but look at the Sword Immortal in a weird way. It was their first ti seeing their friend act like this.
From what they could rember, this guy was one of the people who would keep their mouth shut unless he felt like saying a couple of words.
"I guess having a child can really change a person," comnted Joaquin from the side which made Nathan slightly nod his head.
Eugene glared at them for a mont before turning his attention back to his son. "So, what is that favor that you are asking for?"
Dylan, who was currently wearing a serious look on his face, quickly answered. "There is this guy who I owe sothing and I want to repay it by helping stabilize his foundation in swordsmanship."
"Hoh~!"
Hearing those words, Eugene White couldn't help but beco a little interested in the topic. He knew his son very well since the two of them were always been together since the ti they left the clan of his wife.
'This little genius rarely asks for favors much less owing soone. I wonder who is that person that he is talking about,' thought Eugene before gesturing to his son to continue.
"He is soone that I et within the ga and during the academy entrance exam. His swordsmanship is pretty decent but his ntalism Techniques are outstanding," said Dylan which piqued Nathan's interest even further.
'A kid who uses swords alongside his ntalism Techniques, and it is soone who applies in the academy's special entrance exam? I think I have an idea on who is it,' thought Nathan as he continued to listen to the conversation of the father and son duo.
And to further confirm Nathan's suspicion, Dylan quickly added. "But that is on the end of it. From what I can see, he is also a Martial-Artist who is practicing a very advanced martial art."
"Hoh~! Is that so? How advanced is it from your estimate? And compared to his ntalism Techniques, which one do you think is his real specialty?" asked Eugene as he sneaked a quick glance at Nathan. It seed like he also had a rough idea of who it was.
Dylan fell into deep thought before answering. "I am not sure since I've only experienced his martial-arts through fighting him inside the virtual world. But it should be at least on par with my swordsmanship. And based on our exchanges, I think he is more suited in ntalism."
"I can be wrong since the other match is held in the real world where I can experience his battle prowess much clearer, but I still can't be sure," he added while wearing a deep frown.
That answer was more than enough for the three to confirm what they were thinking, so Eugene quickly went back to the main topic. "And the favor that you are asking is?"
To that, Dylan quickly answered without further ado. "That guy just reached the state of being one with the sword after having another match with ."
"But that is only held in the virtual world, so he should be experiencing the aftereffects in the real world after his sudden breakthrough. I want to help him stabilize his state by doing another sparring match with him in the real world."
"It can be dangerous and any slight mishaps may endanger him and ruin his foundation, so I would like you to oversee our match," he added with full seriousness.
The room was silent for a mont as the three top-ranked experts, who were renowned around the world, couldn't help but shut their mouths because of what they just heard.
Dylan didn't know why his father suddenly turned silent but he also remained quiet and waited for his reply. And after a few monts of waiting, Eugene finally opened his mouth. "Alright, I understand."
"Send the exact location where are you going to have your match. I will be there right away," he knew how important the ti was for soone who just reached the state of being with the sword.
After confirming a couple of things, Eugene finally ended the call before turning his head to Nathan alongside Joaquin.
"What kind of monster is your family trying to raise?" asked Eugene, voicing out the thoughts that running inside their heads since earlier.
Nathan calmly dodged their gazes before answering with an innocent tone. "You should ask that kid's parents for bringing such a monstrous child into this world."
