Angela and the knight captain of the fiefdoela's eyes widened at the ferocity hich Luke and Kurotan bashed and hacked at each other
”Ohmethod”
The knight captain's eyes were glued to the training field
”What do you think, Sir Lapal?”
”It's hard for me to say with certainty, but…”
Lapal frowned in concentration as he began to explain what he was seeing
”It's certain that Kurotan, ill be coht's competition, is an aura expert Those kinds of movements are simply impossible to execute without the control of your aura”
”I see, so I was right”
”His swordsmanshi+p, however, is fundamentally at a basic level It see in the sword”
”And what about Sir Luke?”
”He is the complete opposite of Kurotan”
”How so do you mean?”
”He also seems to be an aura expert However, his control over aura seems to be shaky His swords up for this lack of control”
Angela let out a short sigh in amazement
”How impressive, to have become an aura expert in his mid-twenties”
”It would be a stretch to call hienius, but he is definitely talented It is by no means easy to become an aura expert by your mid-twenties”
Angela suddenly blushed as she continued to watch Luke and Kurotan train Lapal gave her a knowing smile
”Even the lord would not object to a talent of that level”
Angela started at Lapal's words and hurriedly shook her head
”I-I don't knohat you're talking about!”
Lapal only smiled wider as he remarked
”I would agree as well, ht captain of the fiefdo as how he has already taken a vassal under hie…”
”Pl-Please don't joke about such things I have no special feelings for him…”
Angela quickly rubbed her face as if it would limpses at Luke unconsciously
Luke and Kurotan continued to train without rest for ten days, when the day of the knight's competition approached
The location of the knight's competition was near the mountain where the controversial reed towith a representative sent by a great noble
”Earl Jason's younger brother, Viscount Luter has been chosen as the Earl's representative”
Both Baron Tarpan and Viscount Nigel were paying taxes to the great noble, Earl Jason, ould be a fair judge of the competition
”That's good We just have to be victorious at the knight's cohts to Hols Mountain”
Viscount Nigel narrowed his eyes as he shot a questioning glance at his butler
”Have there been any signs of Baron Tarpan hiring knights from outside of his fiefdom?”
”There hasn't been any signs so far, my lord We know that the Baron has made a couple of offers that have been refused”
”Itto throay the lives of talented knights for a foreign affair”
Viscount Nigel currently had two aura expert knights under his coht captain, Jeff Baron Tarpan also had, at least publically, two aura expert knights under his command
Viscount Nigel smiled in leisure
”We were very fortunate to have been able to hire another aura expert, thanks to Angela”
Viscount Nigel nodded and rose from his seat
”My escort is ready, I presume?”
”My lord, fifty cavalry men await your orders”
”Good Let us embark”
Kurururung
The castle's gates rued from the castle Dozens of soldiers on horses surrounded the carriage
At the front of the party were knights They were knights that would take part in the competition
Dudududu
The party traveled at a rapid pace on theaway from the castle Luke and Kurotan were at the back of the forhts
”Does the armor fit you?”
”Yes Heuheuheu, it fits me perfectly”
Kurotan's grin threatened to reach his ears The castle's blacksmith had pored over the ar, there was no questioning the armor's quality
Kurotan was decked out in full plate ar as how Kurotan would be fighting for hiht's competition Kurotan scanned hi bitter
”You said I could only have the helmet and chest plate?”
”Yup We have to return the rest to the Viscount”
”Can't we just keep the aro the reward money?”
”Don't kid yourself Full plate mails are for wartime anyway”
”Well, I suppose”
Kurotan shook his head sadly It had taken hiet in to his current get up To wear it on a daily basis was impractical
”daive it up”
”Don't get too disappointed about it Once you reach a new level with your aura cultivation, there may be another answer”
Luke nodded his head seriously
”There's a type of ic armor that only aura masters can wear, called Hershi+on”
”Do you rehts, ere chasing my fiancé?”
Kurotan's face tightened slightly
”I do He was a terrifyingly strong human”
”The ar was Hershi+on It's normally a chest plate, until the aura master injects his aura into it It transforms into a full plate mail when the aura master does so”
”If that's true, it should be extremely expensive”
”It defies your iination”
”Then hoill you buy it?”
Luke smiled
”If you become an aura master, I will buy one for you one way or the other”
Kurotan's eyes burned ferociously
”I will doubletime from today on I will reach the aura master level”
Luke rolled his eyes at the determined look in Kurotan's eyes
'Si an aura master is that easy?”
If one beca of his country would usually reward hireat noble, land, and also allow hi him into the royal family
In other words, aura masters were rare to find and harder to become
'Well, I suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to buy him a Hershi+on if he did become an aura master'
Luke smiled bitterly as someone approached him
”What is it?”
”Lady Angela wishes to see you for a moment”
”I see”
Luke jerked on the reins of his horse, careening off to the carriage in the back
Theof the carriage opened to reveal Angela
”hello, Sir Luke”
”My lady Why did you call for me?”
”Well, it'll be a while before we reach our destination Would youa conversation partner while we travel?”
”Ah, gladly My butt has been hurting fro”
Luke smiled and unclasped his feet from his saddle
”Would you back up a little bit?”
”That's dangerous, Sir Luke I will stop the carriage…”
”No need, my lady”
Luke handed his reins to the knight riding beside hi on the steps of the carriage His acrobatics were only possible due to his reaching the aura expert level
”Oh my…”
”Then, excuse me for a while”
Inside the carriage were Angela and two maidservants that had followed her Luke stretched after plopping hiela
”Looks like I'll be able to ride comfortably thanks to you, enerosity”
