Chapter 77.1: Shadow Freon (1)

After the situation was settled, Asher explained to me what had happened.

“While giving Rigon swordsmanship instruction, a sudden enlightenment came.”

Enlightenment came during swordsmanship instruction?

Hearing the details made me even more amazed.

While doing free sparring, Rigon instantly learned the magic exercises and swordsmanship she had just taught him.

She said that a sudden enlightenment came while watching Rigon following her instructions and applying what she saw in her own way.

People said that one could also gain something by teaching others, but I never thought that Asher would actually level up while teaching Rigon.

I didn’t know.

However, it wasn’t only Asher who grew up.

When I finally checked Rigon’s level, I doubted my eyes for a moment.

【Lv. 21]

21 levels.

It’s not level 11, it’s level 21.

Wasn’t he only level 3 before he left?

Gulpiro said that Rigon was like a blank slate with nothing accumulated because his broken magic power was barely restored.

But in less than 15 days, he had grown to a whopping 20 levels.

At the abnormal growth rate that transcended imagination, I spit out astonishment one beat later.

What is this really…

Wasn’t that a completely insane talent?

Was it because of this level of genius that Asher, the teacher, could also reach enlightenment?

“Congratulations on that achievement, Sir Asher.”

Reef said awkwardly.

I was thinking about what I should say, but Reef had already beaten me to it.

“Thanks.”

Asher smiled lightly and looked at Rigon.

“Thank you very much. Thanks to you, the wall that has blocked me for a long time seems to have been broken down a little.”

“Ah, yes. I am very glad to have been of help to you.”

Rigon said with a bright smile before adding;

“Well, if you don’t mind, could we continue the sparring?”

“Huh? Ah… I see.”

Asher nodded and raised her sword again.

Rigon’s expression changed to serious in an instant, and he took a stance.

I watched the scene with interest.

Although it was a sparring whose purpose was to teach, not to win, I was curious about Rigon’s swordsmanship, which brought enlightenment to Asher.

Dig!

Rigon stamped his foot, and the blade quickly aimed at Asher’s neck.

The level difference was so far away that it wouldn’t be dangerous, but it’s a real sword sparring, so there’s no hesitation at all in aiming for vital points.

Did Asher tell him to do that?

Asher lightly deflected the sword strike with a calm face.

And the subsequent attacks were all blocked in place, swinging the sword here and there. A very fast-tempo battle ensued.

From the top to the bottom, Rigon swung his sword, aiming at all areas in various ways. He sometimes held his sword in reverse, his body flexibly bent, and then launched a surprise attack from an odd angle.

“····”

What should I say about that?

I knew nothing about swords, but as I kept watching, there was a distinct feeling that Rigon’s swordsmanship was very natural.

It’s very free.

His swordsmanship had a big frame, but had no system within it.

But it felt much closer to unfettered freedom than to crudeness.

And it wasn’t just the sword that was visible to the naked eye that made me feel that way.

The flow of magical power felt in Rigon’s body was also freely flowing within him.

When Asher was fighting, she didn’t use her magic like that.

…Ha.

【Lv. 22]

Rather, the level rose again during the battle. Rigon was getting stronger by fighting.

Rigon swung his sword faster and faster with a face soaring with exaltation.

Caang!

Asher, who continued to receive attacks and occasionally fired appropriate counterattacks at some point, pushed Rigon’s sword down and pressed it to the floor.

“Ah···”

Rigon smiled awkwardly with an expression of embarrassment.

Asher also looked at me with a little tired eyes and said.

“As the battle intensifies, his sword swing became closer to instinct.”

“Ah, I’m sorry. When I get excited, I keep losing my control…”

“It doesn’t mean that it’s bad. What I meant was for you to refine and control that instinct more elaborately. So, Rigon, you…”

Asher gave Rigon advice by pointing out various points about the sparring they had just had. Rigon nodded and listened.

“Then let’s finish here for today.”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work!”

“Thank you for your hard work, Sir.”

Rigon responded loudly, and Reef politely bowed her head.

The two siblings went out first, and Asher and I were left alone at the gym for a while.

I looked at the back of the two as they left and asked.

“You seem to teach them well, though.”

“Ah, yes… It’s not that I’m a good teacher, it’s that both of them are great students.”

“Especially Rigon.”

Asher nodded her head in complete agreement with me.

“His innate talent is really outstanding. If there is such a thing as a genius, I wonder if it would be like that.”

Was it that overrated?

I asked playfully.

“Asher, how does he compare to you?”

“Yes? Of course, he’s much better than me.”

Asher said, without the slightest hesitation.

Well, she’s not the type to take pride in things like this.

The conversation was cut off and there was silence for a while, then Asher exclaimed, as if she had just remembered it.

“I’m sorry. You came back, but I couldn’t go out to meet you…”

“It’s fine.”

“Did you get a wyvern?”

I nodded.

“Would you like to go look?”

Then I led Asher to where Ti-Yong was.
