In the northern part 2 km away from Orario City, In this parts you can only a wide barren land with no life at all, you can only see stone hills, a land full of dry land, and hard rocks, in this barren land three people are standing opposite of each other, 2 of them is female and the other one is male. the female identity is Ais and Lefiya, and standing opposite them is John.
"Miss Ais we are too far from the city Lord Loki will get angry at us if she will know that we came outside the city without informing the others". Lefiya said with uneasiness on her cute face.
"Don't worry". Ais said with her usual flat tone.
John who was opposite them pick up a stick on the ground and then face the two.
I look at the two and open my mouth with a carefree smile on my face, "Like I said Ais, I will test your talent and your skills first before accepting you as my disciple, you can start now, I will only use this stick and I won't attack you I will only defend, go all out".
Ais did not become angry or anything, Ais understand that John is not underestimating her she feels that John is a very powerful swordsman despite his weak and plain appearance.
John only appears weak because of his gentle face, small stature, and thin figure, but unknown to them John's perfect body figure is full of strong muscle that was not too big and too small, it's a perfect golden ratio, and this perfect figure can be hidden when John wears his clothes.
Ais nodded her head and said to Lefiya, "Lefiya, step back".
Lefiya who heard this understands what Ais means, "Miss Ais be careful".
Ais nodded her head, Lefiya retreated for 200 meters and then hide behind a bolder while watching John and Ais facing each other.
Without saying anything, Ais's beautiful face becomes serious, and her atmosphere became heavy and suffocating, her mana was leaking out from her body making a heavy pressure. Lefiya in the distance said with a surprised voice, "Miss Ais is already going all out, is that man is very powerful to the point that Miss Ais use her full strength from the start".
"Tempest, Ariel", The moment Ais said her in incantation a powerful wind covered her body and sword.
Seeing her magic I am a bit amazed, her magic is good and her control over it is also good. Ais step forward and suddenly disappears and appears in front of me in an instant, her sword is already falling on my neck horizontally, and even though her speed is already subsonic in my eyes she is very slow like a snail.
I covered my stick with non-elemental magic to sharpen and strengthen the stick in my hand and then block her sword with minimal movement. cling! The sound of a clashing metal to metal reverberated to the surrounding, Ais eyes opened wide in surprise, Ais can't believe that her sword will be blocked by a stick, Ais quickly calm herself down and attack again at a very fast speed that can't follow by the naked eye.
Lefiya who was watching from the sideline became shocked, she couldn't believe that a stick block a sharp sword that can cut the armor of high-level monsters, Lefiya want to know how John manage to do that, so she activated one of her spell magic eyes a spell that can see the flow of mana.
The moment she did, she became silent and can't react to what she saw, in her mind, [How could he manage to condense that vast mana to coat the stick away from any damage making the stick durability reaches the level of high-class weapons].
Lefiya continues to watch the battle despite she can only see after images.
Ais continue to attack fiercely, the ground started to crack and be crushed by her attacks, her figure constantly appearing and disappearing because of her speed. John who receive this attack only stood in the same spot and never took a single step from his spot since the start of the sparing, John only show a relaxed face and a gentle smile like he is only walking in a park.
Ais did not show any emotion than excitement and expectation to become strong, on the other hand, Lefiya who watched from the sideline became horrified, "Miss Ais can't even land a single hit, she can't even touch his clothes and hair".
The sparring continues until 10 am, Ais is now kneeling on the ground in exhaustion and Lefiya watches in the distance running towards us with a worried look on her face. I look at Ais who was kneeling, I open my mouth and said, "Your talent in swordsmanship is great, you only lack advance guidance about the way of the sword".
With her heavy breath and tired voice Ais spoke in her usual expression and said, "What do you mean that I lack guidance". after saying that she waited for John's words.
"If I guess right your former teachers wield an axe and a spear no one teaches you swordsmanship you develop your swordsmanship until now am I right, hearing this Ais eyes opened wide in surprise, and said, "How did you know that"?
"From the way you move and behave when you are attacking, anyways wear this".
I took out two bracelets from my storage space and handed them to Ais, she take them and ask, "What's this", right beside Ais Lefiya look at the bracelets and became surprised when she see the runes in the bracelets, "Isn't this Ancient magic".
"Um, Sir".
I cut her off and said, "Yes that is ancient magic, my creation if you want to learn some ancient magic here". I took out a 5 inches thick magic book that records some basic and advanced magic spells, "This book has 2,000 basics spells and ten advance spells, also this book will explain to you in detail, how to use them, if you finish this book just come to my store and tell me, I will give you the next volume".
Lefiya panicked, she did not expect that John will give her a magic book that contains a lot of spells, and she only expected that John will only teach her one spell. With a panicked voice, she said, "Why you gave me this isn't this a very precious book".
"Nah, no worries just take it".
after saying that I move my gaze to Ais and continue to explain her first training, "This is your first training, this bracelet is a gravity bracelet, you need to wear this every day and never remove it, only remove it when you are in danger, this bracelet will increase gravity each week, see me after a month in wearing this and I will give you the next straining.
On the side Lefiya was reading the book of magic while her eyes are twinkling like a star, she was very excited about learning the spells from the book.
Just like that, time passed, and then John along with Ais and Lefiya return to the city. The adventurer and civilian that see John with Ais and Lefiya become surprised and they started to gossip. on known to John his name becomes famous because of the rumors that John manages to court The Sword Princess.
