[Remember! Don’t act reckless while I’m away, okay?]

[I know, I know…]

It’s the day after enjoying the dragon ride with Sharon and ThetaSharon had decided to return to the Roxietta Territory

Thinking about yesterday……Ares was on the verge of laughing out loud

It was a fairly chaotic dayLooking at those two for so along as rather exhaustingWonder why…

Although the two see fun, Ares felt like his spirit had been worn down to the limit

[Hey! Are you listening? Ares really is…]

[Ahー, I’ll just go alreadyI’ time here…]

Sharon’s htened so lecture to hile

[Hey! Why are you giggling like that?]

[No, I’…]

Back at her hoadeIt’s an all-woroupShe said that she ade]

Sharon graduated as the top ranker of the Royal Acadeht courseShe’s backed by sufficient skill, so a knight brigade organized personally by her should be interesting to see

[I’ll definitely make Ares surprised! Please look forward for it]

And so, Sharon returned back to her clan’s territory

With Theta standing next to him calmly, Ares couldn’t help but to feel hen he shook Sharon’s hand…

After bidding his fareith Sharon, Ares headed to the wasteland just outside RourdIt’s been his routine to train swordsmanshi+p there

[Shall we begin?]

Saying that, Ares drew his training sword

[Please don’t hold back]

In contrast, Sigurd held a training spear

In contrast, Sigurd held a training spear

[Of courseI can’t afford to hold back when fighting you anymore after all…]

That said, Ares entered a stanceSo did Sigurd

And a moment later, the two clashed

Once, twice, thrice…impact noises erupted each time the teapons met each other

It went on for a while…until after the nth clash, Ares’ training sword broke starting from the base

[Uーn, I guess this is it?]

Both sides were breathing heavily

[As expected of SigurdI couldn’t get even one hit in]

[That’s my lineAres-sama tooHas th to draw out most of the power of the Sword Saint’s technique?]

[No, not even closeWith th, I still won’t be able to defeat Deain who Oldeus had vanquished in the past]

Saying that, Ares put his hand on the pendant hanging on his neck

[I was scolded by shi+n in ainst more varied opponents and only that way I will be able to master the 『Seven Heavenly Swords』, he said]

[I was scolded by shi+n in ainst more varied opponents and only that way I will be able to master the 『Seven Heavenly Swords』, he said]

Ares then muttered to himself quietly

[It’s true that I was able to use『Holy Sword Excalibur』after training with SigurdPerhaps, if I fight another powerful opponent, a neord that suits the situation will ee]

With that he took out the『Seven Heavenly Sword』and grasped it in his palm

[This is a holy swordAn evil breaking sword of the braves which will light up the world]

While saying so, a brilliant silver blade appeared on Ares’ palm

[Holy Sword Excalibur!]

Materializing Excalibur, Ares confirhter, he turned toward Sigurd

[『Divine Sword Oldeus』’ ability is the『Invisible Slash』While『Holy Sword Excalibur』’s ability is『Body Strengthening』First of all, I have to familiarize myself with these two]

Sigurd responded to that

[It’s iMilord will eventually master the and learning]
