Chapter 241 - The Ark Of Bryans Weapons (1/2)

He's got the cards now, the gambler's luck to perform.

”After all, it is the job of a parent to stand in front of their children. To protect them, even if their hopes were to give out at any moment,” said Mavislin, before losing consciousness.

”Looks like she hadn't made any progress. I thought she would have at least give a better show,” said Ysabeau, nonchalantly.

Bryan's eyes darkened as he heard those words. Setting Mavislin gently onto the ground. Bryan drew out a weapon that he had been carrying with him since Minwoo left him. The katana was still in tip-top shape as he unsheathed it from a scabbard.

”You know your sword can't cut me, right? It will just break off once more,” said Ysabeau, shooting more arrows.

Thinking that he would fall for the same trick, Ysabeau appeared in front of him once more. But Bryan was not having any of it as he pulled out the second weapon, a Wakizashi. Not only Ysabeau failed to break the katana, her head was nearly slashed off by the smaller sword.

”How sly of you, hiding those things from us...”

”There was no need to show these off. Especially after I learned about how Minwoo died.”

Had it not been her inhuman reflex and speed of a Bahamut, she would have been gone there and then. Bryan brandished his fraternal weapons, reminding Ysabeau of how Raiyen used to brandish his twin daggers.

”Hmph, don't get too c.o.c.ky, human. Mavislin may accept you, but I sure as hell won't!” shouted Ysabeau, launching a torrent of arrows towards Bryan.

Meanwhile, Mavislin had awoken within her dream. She looked around, puzzled by the area. White and barren. She tried getting up, losing her balance instantly. The ground was like a soft pillow, fluffy marshmallows.

She finally stood up and moved from her spot. She thought she was dead, but shook her head when she could still hear the battle happening in real life. Though, it was quite faint.

”Don't worry, I won't accept anyone who nearly kills her adopted daughter in a training session,” replied Bryan, taking the attack.

”Shut your mouth! You know nothing!”

”Same goes for you. You know zilch of being a proper teacher or parent!” yelled Bryan, eyes filled with fury.

”Which parent in the right mind would send her own child into the jaws of death so willingly?!” shouted the man once more as he flung Ysabeau's attack away.

His blades shined as he sliced through the wave of attacks with erase. At least, that was what Ysabeau had thought. But in reality, the Stars of the Balance were at work, throwing the attack off its gravity.
