[A big shout out to Lord_Vancheltz! Thanks for the support! ]

"Wait, Yana, what are you doing!?" Lord Ein was surprised by Yana's sudden actions. He never expected that after just one spar that this little girl would suddenly ask him to be her master.

"Please teach me your sword style. If I were to merge such a style with my current style and form a brand new style, it would become a style that would be unbeatable." Yana wanted to learn from Lord Ein. She wanted to also learn his sword style and combine it with her current sword stances. By merging the two together she hoped to make the ultimate sword stance. She did not mind sharing her sword stances with Lord Ein if it meant creating something that no one could defeat.

Lord Ein's eyes widened when he heard this. "Stand up, Yana. I will become your master and teach you everything I know. We will merge our stances together, forming something no one would ever imagine."

Yana lifted her head and smiled brightly, causing all the men in the arena stands to feel as if their hearts had just been stolen. Her pure, innocent smile was enough to send all the men into an uproar. Gia, who saw this, shook her head and wondered just what was wrong with guys' heads. She was beautiful too when she smiled, but no one ever cheered for her! Gia pursed her lips and walked out of the safe room, and looked at the crowd with a bright smile on her face. At that time, for some reason, the whole crowd died down. "What!? Screw you all! Don't let me see you on the street!"

Yana looked up at the angered Gia who's cheeks were all puffed out, and smiled as she pulled her into a hug and said: "Gia, they just don't realize how cute you really are."

"Only Sister Yana understands me!" Gia said while overly exaggerating her actions, hugging Yana back. It was obvious she really wasn't that bothered by it.

Lord Ein smiled and nodded his head. He was glad his adopted granddaughter and real granddaughter got along so well. He then turned to the crowd and announced: "That is the end of today's sparring match. Stay tuned for today's normal events after the arena is fixed."

With these words, Lord Ein had Yana and Gia follow him back to the estate. When they arrived at the main entrance, he turned to Gia and said: "Gia, take Yana to get registered with the array. Then the both of you are to come to the underground training area. Yana girl, I hope you do not mind if Gia trains with us."

"No, it's fine. But my sword stances are not easy to learn. Even after one hundred years, I have only mastered four of them. And there is a great deal of danger in learning these stances as it can cause your entire being to be destroyed." Yana explained.

"Such a thing… Such powerful sword skills are indeed something that can destroy the body. Do you have a way for her to learn them without destroying her body just by attempting them?" Lord Ein asked. His sword skills were also very dangerous to learn, but they had a method of training it to allow the body to get used to the gravity that weighs on the body.

"Hmmm… The notes that were left behind only had images and some writings on the different forms and how they were to be executed. They were not easy to decipher, and when I first tried the first stance, I bled from every pore on my body, and intense pain shot through every nerve in my body as well. I was out of commission in a small hidden cave in the middle of nowhere for almost two years." Yana remembered how she felt like she was going to die. If her bleeding did not stop, she really would have. But luckily, it did stop. It was just the healing process that took a while. "Although after that the first stance was much easier to execute, it still took twenty years for me to not bleed at all when executing it."

"That sounds like the sword stance was reconstructing your body. If you had someone there to watch over you, you could have recovered faster. But I can tell your aura changes between each stance. How many stances are there?" Lord Ein asked. He was curious to just how many stances she still had to learn since each one was more powerful than the next.

"Six more. There are ten in total, and the last one is said to tear time and space apart, opening a gate to a new realm." Yana answered.

"To think such a sword style existed and if you were to merge my gravity force style with it, you would truly become someone who is worthy of becoming the next goddess of war. Yana, I will give my all in helping you create this new sword style." Lord Ein's words were filled with excitement and determination. He then turned to Gia, whose face was now pure white after hearing that Yana had bled for so long. She really did not wish to learn such a body-destroying sword style! "Gia, get Doc Treana here. As a girl, it would be best to have a female doctor looking at you while you learn Yana's sword style. While you may not get to learn the merged version of it, just knowing the sword style altogether will help keep you alive. I want you to help Yana become the goddess of war. "

"Grandpa, can't I just stick with gravity force? I mean... " Gia wanted to complain and not learn Yana's style, but when she looked over at Yana and saw a flash of sadness pass through her cold eyes, Gia caved. "Alright… I will bleed for my sister!"

Yana smiled and reached out and rubbed Gia's head. "Thanks, Gia. I promise it only hurts really bad at the start. After a while, the pain does num itself."

"Yana, that is not helping!" Gia whined. She stomped her feet and ran off to get Treana so she could hopefully suffer less!
