42 Swords Expert Stage Clue (1/2)

Yale was also very happy to have learned a healing spell that he could use.

Since Wyba's mother died, he regretted hadn't been able to use a healing spell.

Furthermore, he had planned to ask his sister to help him improve the spell; Yale wanted to master Basic Healing as soon as possible.

Even if Yale didn't intend to be a healer, he considered that being able to heal was very important as it wasn't possible to have always a healer in the proximities.

Yale didn't fear his own injuries as he had Auto-regeneration, but he didn't want to feel impotent again in front of a similar scene like the one in the Beast Trial.

The next class was the Poison Class, Aizu had her books, but Yale was worried because Swordmad was still in possession of his own books.

Swordmad left too quickly the previous night after the lesson and didn't have time even to return the books to Yale.

The poison teacher didn't seem to be the type of teacher who would give Yale another set of books.

Yale didn't worry that the teacher got angry with him, if a teacher dared injured Yale, Swordmad wouldn't be lenient with that teacher.

Yale concerned more about wasting the hour without doing anything; he already felt that he wasted to much time in other magus classes.

Mastering only one spell was the requirement to advance to the 2-star mortal realm, and Yale knew that it wasn't necessary to master any other spell before reaching Rank 1 in the standard paths.

Yale knew that the reason for the teachers avoiding teach more spells to the beginner class was that the newcomers would focus on practicing and increasing their realm instead of only learning a lot of spells. However, Yale still felt that if every day would be the same, he would just lose his time.

As Yale was pondering about the magus classes, the door opened.

However, who appeared wasn't the middle-aged teacher.

The one who entered the class was Swordmad, who had come to return Yale's books.

Swordmad had been discussing about the Mysterious Expert with Sainac since the last night and lost track of time.

When they finished, Swordmad realized that he didn't give back Yale's books.

Yale sighed in relief and thanked Swordmad.

Then, Swordmad left the room, and Yale started to read the books even if the teacher hadn't come.

Aizu imitated him; she had been planning to share her books with Yale, they have too many books to read, there wasn't any problem in lending one she wasn't reading.

However, Yale never thought of that option even if that would have been an excellent solution to the problem.

The teacher only came when the class already exhausted more than half of its time.

However, no one spoke until the class ended and the teacher left as silently as he arrived.

The Darkness Elemental Class was also a boring one; Yale didn't manage to get any new insight nor learn anything new.

After the last lesson ended, Yale left the class with all the books of the poison class again.

In the Poison Class, the teacher didn't say a word, but he learned much more by reading those books than in the other lessons excluding the Healing Class.

Even if Yale and Aizu went to the same destination, he needed to reach the training grounds soon, so he used Quick Wind on himself and ran at top speed alone.

Swordmad praised him for his speed and didn't bother about the books as he already knew the reason. However, he didn't take them into his space artifact like the previous day; he only told Yale to put the books where they didn't disturb the training.

Their training season was the same as always, but Swordmad detected something in Yale's swordplay.

”Yale, I detected that your swordplay improved again.”

”I had few insights this morning that let me improve a bit.”

”Very good. However, your improvement this time wasn't like the others, you reached an important threshold.”

”An important threshold?”

Yale knew that hisSword mastery was at the Apprentice level ten, but he didn't realize that there was an important threshold in that level.

”Yes, a critical threshold and one that had stopped a lot of people. Once you have advanced past this threshold, you will be considered an expert in the sword.”

Yale at that moment understood that the Apprentice level eleven probably didn't exist and the system would change the Apprentice part after he reached the next level.

”It's hard to become an expert in the sword while staying in the mortal realm; training alone wouldn't suffice.”
