Three month has passed, and it almost time for the bride final selection. Right now the one sitting down in front of Reisa is the Queen of the kingdom, and with her heavy tone the Queen asked
"Is that all you have to say?"
"Yes." Answered Reisa in firm tone.
"Do you think I would believe it?"
"No, but I am sure your Majesty would investigate it."
"Good, I like your answer."
Their talk ended like that. What they just talked about is about Reisa suspisious of the demon spy in the first prince side. It might risky to ask the queen but she had reliable force, moreover even if it risk the first prince prestige but it is better then let the demon do as he please. So Reisa leave while gritting her teeth.
"Pitiful girl, she didn't know what is good for her." said the Queen after Reisa leave.
a while letter shadow appear.
"Should we investigate more?"
"The first prince's aide, There is no points if you cant get anything up until now."
"I apologize."
The Queen paused, like a light come to mind her expression brightened.
"Prepare an army, and inviltrate the wedding.
let heretic be with heretic."
The Queen laughed maniacally.
...
Conversation with the queen drain her energy but Reisa's scadule is packed. Right now she is swinging her rapier in academy's training ground. The deal with her father is done and she had learning swordmanship from steward Hans, it just there is so much work that steward Hans rarely overseas her training anymore.
After her arduous training her skinny figure become firmer, especially her tempramen changed, she become calmer.
"Woah! Big Sis Rei is charming!"
Shasha and Noir come visiting, it been a while since they know each other and become friend. While Shasha resting under the tree, Noir come forward.
"Then I will be in your care." said Reisa in fighting stance facing Noir.
Noir recited an Elven spell, root wriggling under the soil, interwinted to each other and form a bow shape, it has elborate design with crystal in each tip, also when Noir touch the bow it emit green light as it released from the root.
"Ready?" ask Noir as he pull the bow string forming green light arrow.
"Yes!"
The arrow released, sometimes it one or three Arrow at once, the releasing speed also higher then usual since the mana forming the arrow is not in perfect form, the arrow would only leave a sticky tar once it hit a target.
Facing the endless Arrow, Reisa focused her vision, the image of the arrow trajectory apper in her vision, she dodge and parry the arrow as she getting close to the sharpshooter.
there is few shot graze her skin leaving sticky tar but she had protected her vital point so she could keep advancing.
while she become close enough, Noir move his bow and sparate it, with each side having a Sharp crystal Blade, the bow become a double wielded dagger with long curved handle.
Both of them fighting each other in close range, as they fight, Noir become surprised that Reisa could continously dodge his attack, he started to put more effort and it didn't take long for Reisa to misstep and lose.
Shasha clap her hand hand handed them a water and towel.
"Thank you"
"Thank"
Then they spend their time resting without Realizing that their little sparring catch everyone attention.
after they eat Noir feel a pricking gaze from his side where Reisa sit, he organize his word in his mind.
"Sister Reisa does have talent, you have great intuition. it just you have less power and speed."(Noir)
"Well, it cant be helped since big sister Reisa just started training for few month!" (Shasha)
"That is true."
Noir look at her weapon, a slim sword, rapier. It have slim design and light weight usually it fit for a woman to boost speed and tehnique since women tend to have lower strength but...
"I don't think your weapon suit you for now, since it like you could predict the enemy movement but your body couldn't catch up with it. so.. rather than parring with this flimsy weapon and let the attack pass, either you should use a shild or use a boarder sword to block the attack."
"Can you explain more? I am listening."
"Hmm, did you ever try other weapon?"
Reisa almost blurted out that she used magic staff to hit people.
"...not yet."
"Then, you better tried out other weapon and find out if it fit your battle style."
"Okey, thank for the advice."
"But Noir, if Sister Rei used boarder sword or Shield, it would make her harder to move since Its heavy." Shasha chimed in.
"That why she should try to use other weapon, In other world if she keep using Rapier she should raise her speed but if she change to broadsword, she need to add more strength. For a beginner it is better to focus on one aspect first."
"The point is... I need more training. hufh~"
Reisa sprawled herself while the other two laughing.
"I heard the next week, there will be a graduation promp party. How is your preparation? Did both of you would attend together?"
"We didn't, I already have a partner." said Shasha feel apologetic since Noir also one of capture target.
"Ohh sorry, both of you are close together so I Though... well, who is he?" Reisa nudge Shasha.
"He is my Senior, His name is is Evan.... He isHis Highness the crown prince's aide so he is busy recently."
Both of them talked, leaving Noir who mind his own bussiness.
'the power of Prediction huh Prediction... time.'
