Chapter 98: Incoming Hardships (1/2)

Chapter 99: Diceros Left & Right

“So you tellthese hardshi+ps are heading your way?”

“I accept”

Eren didn’t even think for a second before replying

He already knew about the reason Marla was reluctant to take hiht with her He had knohat she said was bound to happen to hi to shy away frooes according to his plans, heto e was the minimum requirement for his schedule to proceed se quickly Siht I’ll take you as ister the same in LA’s records so that we coordinate our schedules sift for your valuable “tip” You can also consider this as your apprenticeshi+p reward on joining”

Marla retrieved a set of two Katars fro, sleek and sharp in size

Each weapon had an H-shaped horizontal grip, which would result in the blade sitting above the user’s knuckles Then there was an arrip while securing the gripped hand

Because the weapon’s blade is in line with the user’s arm, the basic attack with a Katar is a direct thrust identical to a punch That’s why a Katar was referred to as a ‘punching dagger’

But the weapon could also be used for slashi+ng The design of the weapon allows the fighter to put their whole weight into a thrust, enabling an exceptional piercing power

A katar user would target the head and upper body of their opponent, si

The sides of the handle could be used for blocking The defensive capabilities would increase, thanks to the aruard

But the weapon’s forte was alht time It also allowed for quick parries and swift slashes But it wasn’t meant for defence Not really at least

A dual-katar wielder had to enter the fray with all their bets placed on offence They e their opponent’s attacks and strike, ht-weighted ness

Marla had practised katar arts that had a lot of concepts taken fro arts That’s why she could teach Ken Riverine in the previous tiilist in his generation even before graduating from LA

Of course, Ken wasn’t an ideal apprentice for Marla She couldn’t bestow a large chunk of katar arts to hi a close co But it wasn’t like she was looking to take hiht of another approach with Eren if he could successfully sustain the training schedule assigned by her Eren was a close co eleers

Marla could raise him to be a somewhat exact copy of her close-combat style Provided the boy could keep up, that is

Eren took the weapons from Marla’s hand They looked extremely simple yet exceptionally deadly He heard the latter’s words when he was busy observing the artefacts in his hands:

“There are five-star F-Rank katars Plus, they have lightning-ele them element-specific artefacts only meant to be wielded by rankers of the same element

You won’t find the five-star variants

I had received theift But I soon broke into E-Rank So they are barely used at all

You are a lightning-element ranker who focuses on speed This set is tailored-made for you

I’d consider ift And yeah, you can see the nauards”
