While sparring with the knights, I noticed that none of them wanted to be my partner because they were scared of hurting me.
I even heard one of them saying: "We are commoners. If we hurt the princess, the king will have our heads!"
("Seriously? Who the hell do they think we are?") I thought, offended.
Luckily, one of the knights offered to be my partner, and I used that chance to show everyone my skills, swiping the feet of the knight from the ground as I waved my wooden sword from afar and cast air magic to make him fall on his back.
After that first sparring session, I had no trouble looking for a partner again.
A few days later, while we were training with the knights, Ivy told Ichiro that she had seen something big in the forest. Apparently, killing that one black snake could bring out a more powerful monster since black snakes are supposed to be its prey.
