Chapter 18 (2/2)

Erza could see the reason in his words, as she silently admired his analytical abilities

An 11 year old kid that can plan so far Not an easy feat

Furthere boy before hiic before, stood out and took a shot for her Giving Mogria a nificent sucker punch in the process as well

It didn’ta normal 11 year old can’t achieve easily

Thus, Erza has treiven her answer yet

“I should tell you though, I know a bit of battle techniques but it wasn’t learnt froether on aze on hiuarantee that these skills will couarantee their effectiveness Even so, you have no problerinned

“Well that only makes me want to study with you more!”

Erza flinched subconsciously

“Ithe Phantoicians with just your sword skills Can anyone call that kind of performance ineffective?”

Noah blurted out

“And now you’re telling me you learnt those skills on your own, I can’t find a reason not to study with you now!”

“Well”

Erza didn’t knohether to laugh or cry

“What? Too troubling?”

Noah scratched his cheeks

“if you’re feeling troubled over so like that I never thought you had such a high evaluation of me that’s all!”

Erza relaxed her expression and chuckled

“If it’s like that, don’t regret this afterwards!”

2 eleven year old boy and girl laughed as they looked at each other They reached out their hand with the river as the background and they shook their hands firmly

…

It’s only after dark did Noah part ith Erza at the ground floor of the guild He returned to his roo down on his body

Noah didn’t expect he would begin his first training session without delay after requesting and Erza agreeing to the deal, he himself wanted to learn it earlier and he’s not a slacker Otherwise he wouldn’t be training so hard everyday for years just to get his h control He’s happy to see Erza being so fired up

But, right now, he thinks that he was too naive

Erza said it herself Her coht her and she didn’t learn it from some other place And so, she didn’t kno to teach others as well

The only way she kno to teach is through real combat

And so, he trained with Erza for the whole day It would be strange if he isn’t tired

“It seethened my physique or else I can’t keep up with this kind of pace…”

Noah muttered as he pushed his door open

But his foot stopped the moment he sahat is inside his roonize to be a belonging of his

It’s a sword!

It had a hand guard, a slightly curvy long shape and it looked like a resplendent arht next to the shi+ning blade is a piece of paper with the word ‘good luck’ written on it

Judging fro like that of an old undisciplined pine tree He didn’t need to think too ave hiested to hith is that oldspread out within hi sword carefully and examined it He could feel the sharpness and extraordinary aura around it before continuing
