'A sword, a partner, and a spirit, huh…' Noel muttered inwardly, contemplating his reply.
Ardagan had been supporting him as a spirit and accompanied him like a partner. At the same time, Noel had been wielding him as a sword.
The question itself confused Noel a bit. While he could define Ardagan with three of those, was there a reason to actually define him with only a single one?
'Was it because I have never seen Ardagan purely as a sword that it has been hindering my progress? I learned Ardagan Swordsmanship thanks to Ardagan. Not long after, I created the Everchanging Emotion Sword Style.'
'So, Ardagan has been the foundation of my sword. In that case, can I say that this achievement is mine?'
Noel had realized that while he could actually define Ardagan with all those three, he couldn't say that his current expertise came from himself.
