Happy Reading~
===========
Over the past few days, I have been secretly training myself.
Also, there was a time where I clashed swords with the guards.
Although, in the end I was defeated by them too.
Still, I'm very grateful for being able to clash swords with them.
If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to know the limits of my abilities.
Since I first broke through, I have always wanted to test my abilities.
And the result, everything is according to what I wanted.
In fact, the guards, they even went so far as to praise my abilities.
In their minds, my swordsmanship could be said to be quite great.
Unlike children my age, I can already use various complicated movements.
Before I break through, I won't be able to move that freely.
And right now, I managed to do the movement I wanted.
It's just that, I still have to practice more.
I felt, that my body was still not fully able to accept my father's movement technique.
As if, my body was tied by a chain.
But still, I know that this chain will be broken sooner or later.
As long as I keep practicing, I am sure that one day I will master my father's techniques.
Maybe when that happens, I won't have to put myself down anymore.
"You are amazing. Even though you are only at the Beginner stage, I feel that your strength is far from that." commented the guard beside me, not forgetting to drink the water he brought.
Currently, we have just finished practicing together.
By the way, this guard, he was the one who previously offered me a meal of soup.
The name of this guard, is none other than Berdik.
He came from an ordinary family, and unexpectedly gained Orange stage talent.
Because of his luck, he was appointed as one of the palace guards.
In the empire, becoming a knight required Orange stage talent.
And, for those whose talents were above the Orange stage, they would get much better spots.
"Just normal... Since childhood, I have been trained by my father." I answered, not intending to explain further.
If I tell the story of my childhood, I'm afraid my sadness will come back to me.
After all, the reason why I keep training myself.
The answer is simple, it's because I want to forget everything.
I want to forget the death of my parents, hoping that this incident will not happen again.
Whatever it is, I still can't erase the sadness in my heart.
Maybe it's true, at first I didn't show my sad face.
But that doesn't mean I won't feel sad, quite the opposite.
I regret, regret not coming back sooner.
If I had returned earlier, perhaps my parents' deaths would not have happened.
Still, thanks to me being killed by the Illusory Beetles.
I got my talent, as well as a system.
Which, can improve my talent as long as I keep trying.
Suddenly, I unknowingly heard a strange sound.
That voice, for some reason, felt faint.
Even so, I thought that it was just an illusion.
Not wanting to wait any longer, I decided to speak up.
"In my opinion, it would be better for us to continue our journey. The sun is starting to rise."
"You are right… Everyone has also prepared, tomorrow we will arrive at the Holy Empire." said Berdik, knowing that tomorrow would be our last day together.
"..." for a moment, my eyes, it slightly shifted to my left side.
[Talent Points: 2,500.]
[14/100% progress in Body Enhancement.]
'Whatever... I'll continue on my own.' I thought, not intending to think about anything.
What I have to do now, is I have to focus on my goal.
If I hadn't followed them, I probably would have been able to collect more than this.
But yeah, because this is also my luck.
I have to accept this fate, otherwise I would have been lost from the start.
...
"Did the kid notice? I don't think so, it's impossible for a Beginner stage kid to be able to sense my presence." muttered a man, that man, he was exactly hundreds of meters away from where we were.
In his hand, there was a strange bow.
"Saintess... I will definitely kill her."
