"Okay, that's the end of today's training, free rest in the afternoon." After the voice of the acting master sounded, all the students in the dojo fell to the ground at once.

"It's finally over...... Goddess......"

"Look at you...... Looks like ...... without interest."

The students of the dojo dragged their tired bodies, talking and laughing while arguing.

Regram's summer is coming to an end. The sun is setting earlier and the evening is getting cooler.

And the first step of the first biography course is basically coming to an end.

In the past month or so, apprentices from all over the empire, including foreigners, have learned the most rudimentary martial arts skills, the understanding and use of various weapons, and the understanding of the "Tao" of the "Alsside Stream"——

Of course, the last one was a bit difficult for the young apprentices, and only the youngest seemed to be thoughtful after hearing the topic.

Soon, the students who had been slowing down for a while stood up one after another and walked towards the outside of the dojo, looking forward to going back to take a shower, eat something, and then do a massage to relieve the fatigue of their bodies, and then sleep beautifully.

Heiliga thought so, too. However, when he stepped through the gates of the Viscount's Mansion (it was normal for Heliga, the son of Lightsaber's childhood friend, to give preferential treatment to the Viscount's Mansion), he found the old butler Klaus waiting for him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Klaus, what are you?" Heliga hesitated, deciding to speak out preemptively.

The old butler bowed, "Young Master Hailiga, congratulations on passing the initial training of the first pass. ”

“…… Ah, thank you, Mr. Krauss. Slightly stunned, Heiliga also gently returned the salute as a thank you.

“…… But...... That's it, you don't need to wait for me at the door, right? When did you come across it, wouldn't it be okay to mention it in passing? Heliga thought to herself.

“…… However, the old man is waiting for the young master here, and there is one more thing...... "The old housekeeper has seen more people and things, and he can see at a glance what Heliga is puzzled about, so he continued: "The master took the eldest lady to the forest for special training, and he will not come back until the day after tomorrow...... Originally, the master planned to teach you the introduction of weapons, and asked you to choose your favorite weapons for the next step of training...... However, he decided on the spot that he would teach it himself. ”

“…… Actually, it seems that the acting master of the dojo can also be? After thinking for a moment, Heiliga still asked. After all, whether it was out of friendship with his father or something else, the "Swordsmith of Light" always had some ...... for being so attentive to himself Wrong. If it is said that when he first arrived, it was because he was temporarily transferred to the class and needed urgent tutoring, and then he took him to practice in person considering the factors on his father's side, now that he has kept up with the pace of basic training, there should be no need to receive special training - although it is fortunate to be able to receive special guidance from the "Sword Craftsman of Light" or the Klaus Butler who is the general acting master, this strange feeling makes Hailiga feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"Huh...... Young Master doesn't need to worry. Butler Klaus smiled, and continued: "The master is afraid that he has taken a fancy to a certain "qualification" on you, so he will pay so special attention to the young master. And I, too, am honored to be able to guide you. ”

"......" Hailiga was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect it to be this reason - could it be that he really has any "talent" in martial arts? I fell into a certain "strange circle" from before, and thought of His Excellency the Viscount too badly......?

"I see, Mr. Klaus, it's my pleasure to be guided by you."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Heliga?" In the empty First Mission Ground, a thin boy was wielding a long sword alone, practicing the swordsmanship that the old butler had just taught him. And the clear girl's voice broke the cycle of teenagers' panting and blade swinging. Following the sound, the blue-haired girl with the long sword behind her back was looking at the boy with a happy expression.

"Yo, Laura. I'm back from my special training with Lord Viscount. During her few months at the dojo, Helliga had gotten along well with Laura, so she greeted her cordially.

"yes." Laura replied, "After all, this special training is a special training for weapons, and the intensity is greater than ever." ”

"Huh...... Laura really chose a two-handed broadsword? Just like your father? Helliga asked, looking at the long package that Laura was carrying behind her back.

"yes." Unloading the package neatly, shaking out the big sword inside, clutching it in her hand, Laura said with a smile: "Such a heavy and extremely powerful weapon can bring challenges on the path of cultivation!" ”

"And only the Great Sword is the heirloom of your Alsed family." Heiliga complained to herself, but she didn't say it.

"Heliga...... The one-handed sword was chosen...... Is it? Laura asked, looking at the blade in Helliga's hand.

"yes...... The two-handed sword attack is strong and the defense is weak, the spear and the tomahawk control range is too large and not flexible enough, only this one-handed sword is the most suitable for me. With a slight wave of the weapon in his hand, Heliga continued, "Speaking of which, this is also Mr. Klaus's best weapon, right?" After all, he carried a thin sword with him. ”

“…… Yes, what I am best at is the swordsmanship of the court rapier, especially the swordsmanship related to "thorns", it seems that even my father said, 'I can only draw with Mr. Claus, but it is difficult to defeat him'. ”

"That's right. It makes sense to have someone who is best at swords teach swordsmanship, although Mr. Kraus is also very good at the other weapons of the "Alseid-Stream". Besides, if I've achieved something in kendo, it's not too late to learn anything else. ”

"Yes. But now that you've completed the selection of your primary weapon, that means ......" Laura suddenly realized something, "have you officially started the special training of the "First Story"? ”

“…… It seems like yes. After a moment's thought, Heiliga replied.

"But...... It seems that there are still two months left for the preparation course for the first biography, right? Also, it's the middle of the two course sections, so isn't there any course going on? Laura asked, confused.

“…… Ah, yes, but I trained alone with Mr. Klaus......" Heliga suddenly remembered that the Viscount seemed to have mentioned that although Laura was trained by him as the successor and subordinate of the "Alsside Stream", most of Laura's training was taught by Klaus, the old butler, and the old butler also loved the young lady very much, so he looked at Laura who was a little stunned in front of him, and then added: "In this way, I should be regarded as your "junior brother", right?" Again, please advise, Laura. ”

“…… Yes...... Lots of advice. Laura quickly came to her senses and held out her hand in a bit of panic. Heliga was a little confused, but she reached out and shook Laura's hand.

“…… I'm happy to have opponents and friends who can improve and promote each other, Heliga. After letting go of her hand, Laura said.

“…… Me too. As he shook hands, Heliga could clearly feel the calluses of Laura's hands as he held the sword. He knew that Laura might have put in more effort than he could. And when Laura said something like that, it meant seeing herself as an opponent who really sharpened and grew each other-

"I need to work harder." The young man who thought like this secretly made up his mind.
