Jarak, one of the elders of Bhibra Village, looked at the instructor of this training hall.
The man's name is Ruthren and none of them would dare to belittle him. His scary face wasn't just for show as he also has incredible skills with the art of swords.
Aside from that, he has various Magic Items that would allow him to contend against their Arcanists...
Then, he looked at Mio, Shiori, and Tenri... These three ladies weren't any weaker than Ruthren and as a matter of fact, Jarak felt that their swordsmanship was better than the scary man...
They learned that they were also former members of one of their branches in the Chodora Kingdom. However, it appears that they are now serving another deity that was why they decided to stop working for the cult.
