With those words, I focused on the distant mountain range, and with a single thought, I summoned a single beam of lightning over there, then abruptly teleported.
The mont I arrived, Kevin jumped up, startled by my sudden appearance. As for the others, they didn’t react as much.
Glancing over at the boulder that had a few gashes in it, I smiled slightly.
"You’re makin’ so decent progress."
"Am I? It doesn’t feel like it."
"It’s only because you’re hesitating. When I first got a hang of Sword Intent, I only needed to push past my limit and slash the wooden sword down with all my strength. The only thing I was thinking about at that mont was cutting into the wall and not breaking the wooden sword."
I patted Kevin on the back.
"I’ll set a deadline for you. If you don’t get a hang of it in the next four hours, I’ll consider drop-kicking you off this mountain and having soone else take your place."
He froze.
Seeing his serious expression, I let out a chuckle.
"I’m just kidding. But try your best. We really don’t have much ti."
"...I understand."
Good.
I moved away from him and walked over to Clentine. To my surprise, she had sohow managed to convince lina to sing. With every note that she hit, the surroundings shook slightly, and clearly, it was working as intended.
Though, when I spotted the red mark on lina’s cheek, I realized that Clentine might’ve just slapped so sense into her.
Either way, a win is a win.
Lastly, there was Isabelle...
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
Morr was perched atop her head, and around her, there were two Guardians. Both of them seed extrely powerful, nearly as powerful as Morr. Also, both of them seed to be so kind of Frost or Ice Guardians.
I approached Isabelle. The mont she saw , she turned toward and smiled.
Just then, Morr’s voice resounded inside my head.
[You have brought a very powerful being here. I am very surprised by how talented she is.]
I was about to reply, but I figured that if Isabelle can talk with Morr inside her mind, so can I.
’Are those two Guardians hers?’
[They are.]
It worked.
’Sheesh... So how many more can she get? Or is this the limit?’
Morr paused for a mont.
[I am not sure she has a limit. If anything, her limit is the amount of energy she has, but because of what you did earlier, her reserves have nearly tripled. I am sure she can easily contract one or two more Guardians at this rate.]
Amazing...
Soone who could wield four Guardians... She’d basically jump up so high in the rankings.
If anything, even though she was around Grade 20, she’d easily be able to defeat Grade 40 or 50s with that many Guardians.
She was just way too overpowered.
[I’ll continue training her, so don’t bother until the gala.]
Rude.
But oh well.
It’s not like I knew how Morr was helping her get this many Guardians in the first place.
Either way, since the training was going to be pretty stale from here on, I decided to put so focus on my own training while also helping out Kevin.
And before I knew it...
(6 days later...)
As I sat there inside the mountain, I glanced at the rising sun.
Today’s the day the gala starts.
I’m guessing since it’s still early morning, it’ll start shortly after lunch.
With those thoughts, I snapped my fingers and teleported to my lightning at the top of the mountain.
By now, Kevin had slashed several dozen boulders, and thankfully, he managed to grasp Sword Intent.
He was in the process of learning Sword Heart too, but he was struggling.
Though, it wasn’t really his fault.
His swordsmanship made it really hard to simplify movents. After all, he needed a lot of bursts of energy in a very short span to even make it work.
Basically, he lacks fundantals.
On the other hand, there was also lina.
"Aaaaaaah! You slimy bitch! Get away from !"
She ran across the mountain, trying to get away from Clentine.
However, Clentine effortlessly closed the distance and pinned lina down.
A warm smile appeared on her face.
"Your scream was in the wrong tune, lina."
"Y-You devil!"
They were getting along nicely.
And as for Isabelle, when I glanced over at her, I was shocked to see five small yet extrely powerful Guardians circling around her. They were chatting about random things and basically screwing with her ears.
Still, with five Guardians, she now had enough potential to beco one of the strongest people in the world.
Finally, Morr hopped off her head and flew over to . It tried to land on my head, but I swatted it off, forcing it to land on my shoulder instead.
[You are very stingy.]
’And you’re very bold. Did you get what you were looking for?’
Morr let out a chuckle.
[I have gotten more than I could’ve ever wished for. Rather, I do have a wish. Make sure this Isabelle woman does not perish in a stupid way. She has a lot of potential.]
Obviously.
’Get back in my head. We’re going to leave for the gala very soon.’
[Tsk...]
Morr disappeared.
The mont it did, I just stood there for a mont.
I had already told Clentine about her role, and she was surprisingly eager about piggyback riding .
If anything, I had actually never let her do it. I only gave her princess carries and occasionally lifted her off the ground when we were kissing.
So basically, she’s going to enjoy it more than ... since I’ll need to beat up commoners or Alicia with a cane.
Either way, we were all as ready as we can be.
But before I go on and travel back to Aldraazan with my altered appearance and clothing, I wanted to take a look at my status.
