After eting with Rachel and Arsen, Calian visited Slayman.
“There’s a perfect place to have a quiet place.”
Slayman, who readily responded to the request for a conversation, led Calian to a place he had not expected.
Usually, wouldn’t one have a quiet study or a hidden office in cases of things like this?
Calian looked awkwardly around Slayman’s private training room. There was a strong sll of sweat, completely different from the fragrant scent of tea or subtle scent of books that he had been expecting.
“That is surprisingly comfortable to sit on.”
Not noticing Calian’s awkwardness, Slayman pointed to a log on one side of the training room.
Eventually, Calian couldn’t hold back the laughter.
If Yan had been here, he probably would have made a fuss right away, but Calian did not hesitate to sit comfortably on the long and said,
“If you would consider it, I wanted to ask if you would be willing to go back to the palace with . I want to see what it would be like with both you and teacher.”
The two were strangely similar but not, he couldn’t imagine what it would be like if they were both in the sa place.
They were words of pure goodwill, without any other aning or intention.
And Slayman understood the regret Calian wanted to express at having to leave the Siegfried Duchy so he too replied with a light nod,
“I was thinking of asking your highness if you would like to spend more ti here and spar with occasionally too,”
Soon, their conversation, which would have been difficult to have comfortably in font of an audience, shifted to Yan’s denseness.
When Slayman heard that Yan thought Calian had only learned enough swordsmanship to defend himself, he burst into laughter.
And throughout, Slayman did not doubt or wonder how Calian was able to handle Aura almost overnight. There was much to be curious about, but Slayman did not think it was particularly important to ask and Calian too, did not explain it.
It was after that had talked of many other things, including how Ruin’s attitude towards the princes had changed due to Alan’s intervention, that Calian moved to to the main reason he had asked to speak with Slayman.
“I t Sisipanian today, your grace.”
“Yes I know, what conversations did you share with the Will of Sispanian?”
“No, it wasn’t a Will.”
Slayman’s eyes grew wide, as he understood the aning behind Calian’s words.
“Don’t tell you t the true body?”
Calian nodded,
“That’s right.”
The big smile that always seed to hang on Slayman’s face disappeared for a mont and then reappeared – and he began to laugh loudly.
“Hahahaha! I knew it! I knew she’d be alive!”
He was a mber of the family that had protected the empty nest of the black dragon for 500 years, not even sure if that dragon was alive. How wonderful would it feel to know that Sispanian was indeed alive?
So Slayman laughed for a long ti before he said,
“It’s a relief that our family wasn’t being stubborn without aning for so long.”
“Yes, I think so too.”
Calian who agreed, continued with what he was going to say.
“I don’t know if Sispanian will be coming here in person again, but it seems we’ll end up eting her one more ti.”
At that, Slayman looked surprised once more.
It was sothing of an extended version of the story Calian had told Arsen not long ago.
“That’s why I want to to make a way to go back and forth between Kyrisis and Seigfried a little faster. Starting with the connection between Kyrsis in the north and Seigfried in the south, I want to increase the number of mage teams performing teleportation magic throughout Kyris. I wanted to ask you for permission for this.”
“Though I understand my opinion is important in this matter, but will His Majesty grant permission?”
“Taking the presence of the Royal Road into account, wouldn’t creating teleportation teams increase the risk of damage if there were invaders or attacks to the capital?”
“I know. If not Kyrsis then we can always connect through the Whitlin estate as well.”
Whitlin, which was Calian’s territory, was a four-day journey from Kyrsis. Which made it easy to travel to from the Capital. It ant that he would be creating a magic team in his own land if he had to.
Calian continued his words,
“If I do that, then I can limit those who use it to people that have my permission. And if you are worried about security then we can station the teleportation team one day’s journey away from Seigfried. If you feel that this might impact on Seigfried’s security then you are free to remove it.”
With it being explained to this point, Slayman considered it for a mont and nodded.
“If his Majesty approves, then I will not object to building a teleportation facility one day away from here.”
“Thank you. And I have one more favour to ask of you.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
A Slayman’s consent, Calian smiled and raised his hand. Then mana with a sharp edge began to converge at the tip of Calian’s hand.
Slayman who saw this, said with a big smile.
“Are you requesting a spar? I’m glad you brought it up, since I brought you to this place with that in mind.”
“Sothing similar to a spar, but slightly different.”
The mana, which had gathered in Calian’s hand, stopped there for a mont before growing outwards to the size of a large apple. The sharp light reflected in Slayman’s eyes left his surprised.
It was sothing he had never seen before.
Not ice, fire or wind – but a whole new force.
It was the sa energy he had used to form his fourth circle – Aura from which Calian had erased all attributes and left only the pure energy.
While looking at the swirling energy, that intertwined like pieces of broken glass, swirling amove his fist, Calian spoke.
“It’s made with Aura. A typical Aura is overlaid on a dium but luckily, since I can use magic, I used the sa thod of drawing out mafic to collect aura, allowing it to co out like this, without a dium.”
Slayman was the first person that Calian had decided to show this power to after so deep contemplation.
It might have been easy to say, but using both Mana and Aura was never an easy task to accomplish.
“Seeing that you have managed to create sothing like that, it is truly fortunate for out family that Sispanian’s spirit remains. Your highness must be happy that Sispanian’s blessing is working properly.”
Calian just smiled.
Sothing like this was only possible because Bern, who had been a swordmaster, ca to wake up in the body of Calian, who was talented with magic – but he couldn’t elaborate on that matter.
“Anyway, what I wanted to ask of you was – “
Calian closed his eyes for a mont and focused, the shape of the energy that encircled his hand began to change. It gradually increased in length and beca thinner and soon, beca a sword-like shape.
Slayman who saw this, exclaid his appreciation.
“- I’d like to use this as a weapon, I haven’t used it properly yet so I don’t exactly know how well it will work.”
“Do you want to test it?”
“Yes. I don’t know how much power I have and since I t you at the ball, I wanted to match against you.”
Slayman, who finally understood what Calian wanted, showed strong interest. A widespread smile was directed at the ‘sword’ in Calian’s hand.
“Co at .”
A blue aura had coated Slayman’s sword before one could blink.
And Calian’s figure moved so quickly, it was as though it disappeared.
