Saint Arcane Church / Indoor Practical Room #3
"Aaaaahhhh~"
Elizabeth fell to the floor right after when her daily training was over.
"Good job, Elizabeth. We will continue the training tomorrow. "
The female dancing teacher directly gets out of the room. She said 'good job', but she was actually disappointed in Elizabeth.
"Eliz!" "Eliz!"
La and Li imdiately ran to Elizabeth. Seeing the condition of their friend which is quite worrying.
"Your feet." "It beca worst every day."
Both of Elisha's feet were red and crusty, and it got worse every ti Elizabeth finished training.
"Co here."
La took Elizabeth to sit on the chair that had been provided. Li prepared a bucket of cold water for Elizabeth's feet.
"Ouch-ouch-ouch!"
La and Li who heard Elizabeth groan also felt the pain.
In healing Elizabeth's feet, La and Li also gave Elizabeth's feet a massage on each.
The atmosphere turned quiet after only the three of them stayed in the room. The impression of disappointnt from the dance teacher before still remains in the hearts of the three of them.
It had been about a month since Elizabeth started her training. But she just made little progress during the ti.
La and Li look at each other, signaling to begin their secret plan.
"Eliz."
"Yes?"
Despite being very exhausted, Elisa responded to them with a sincere expression. It made it hard for both of them to continue.
"Er, what is it? Is there anything you need to talk with ?"
"U-um, yeah." "How are your feet?" "Did our massages help it?"
Elisa smiled sweetly. "Of course. It is because of the two of you who always willing to help and support that I can go this far."
Those innocent, sincere words made it even more difficult for the La and Li sisters to talk about important things they wanted to discuss with Elisa.
"Y-you hear her, sis?" "Y-yes, looks like we need to massage her more so she can continue tomorrow."
"You don't have to. Soon it will be noon, and we have to go out to change the clock with another class."
"O-oh, yeah." "That's right."
After a few minutes of continuing the massage, they imdiately got ready to leave.
However, there are no one outside.
"Where are the people?" asked Elisa, wondering.
Even though students from other classes should have entered practice room #3 taking turns with Elisa.
La and Li rembered one thing that happened in the church.
"In the Practical Room #1!" "The Sword Class held a seminar attended by a Platinum Hunter, Tyler, and his group!" "The other student must be in there too."
Elisa imdiately noticed the main culprit of the scene, and felt botherso.
"Oh, is that so? Then I will go straight back to the dorms."
Elisa wants to do that. But the twins stopped her for a certain reason.
"Can we take a look to their seminar?" "Just for a mont!" "Please!"
Elisa had expected that they would ask for that.
"Fine, if it's just for a mont."

Indoor Practical Room #1 /
"Wooooooooooo!"
"What the heck is that?!"
"How does that work!?"
Elisa imdiately felt irritation as soon as she entered the seminar room. The reason is, of course, the crowded atmosphere created by the participants. The cause, of course, is the speakers from the Sword Class.
The leader of all the participants, Tyler, was trying to pick up, shake, wave, the floating sword practiced by the best Sword Class representatives.
"How!? This sword!? Beca so solid!? In midair!?"
But no matter how much Tyler put his strength into the works, the wooden sword didn't even waver a bit.
The Deputy Administrator of the Church, Liliana, is there to make sure the seminar is running safely.
Several groups of students also joined in to watch, but their voices were overtaken by the commotion of the Platinum Hunter's party.
"Gah! I give up!"
In an instant Tyler giving up on trying to wave the wooden sword-
"Chief! Let try it!"
Sentences like that ca out of the mouths of his n.
Tyler wanted to allow them, but of course, with the permission of the seminar chairman, the Sword Master.
"How it it, Master? Did they allowed to do it?"
The Sword Master looks at Tyler's n, who are ready to be the next challenger.
"I knew a situation like this would co, for that.."
The Sword Master signaling one of his disciples to take sothing.
"I had prepared this."
The Sword Master tied the floating wooden sword with a rope.
"All of you can try to pull this rope to wave the sword."
The challenge sounded mocking, but talked in a very clear way of provide understanding: that all of them cannot wave the floating wooden sword.
However.
"Let's do it, guys!"
"Yeah!"
"We will show the strength of the Thrilling Thunder clan to this room!"
About 12 n united to hold the rope together. With faces full of confidence, they would pull the rope to shake the wooden flying sword together.
"On my mark! One! Two! Pull!"
They put all their strength into the pull.
However, no matter how much force they exerted, the floating wooden swords did not falter by an inch.
After about a minute, so of them collapsed due to suffocation. Then they all started to stop their traction, thinking it was impossible.
"How is it?"
"Did not waver at all?"
"Even though that got pulled by dozens of n?"
They were all gasping for breath with all their might in a minute.
The people who saw were amazed, and imdiately looked to the student who cast the Sword Caster-ing, Aiden.
All the attention that saw him didn't stiffen Aiden.
Because of everything he had been through until now, he is already strong enough to receive many eyes seeing him.
But there is one pair of eyes, of one special person who can make him feel awkward in an instant.
"Oh, no." "Elizabeth here."
The boys realized that Aiden had lowered his focus on his sword. But gladly, it didn't happen the mont the sword was being drawn.
"Sir Arsen!"
"Yes?"
One caster of the Platinum Hunter's mber raised her hand.
"Can I ask permission to try to draw that sword too?"
The Caster lady asked directly to the Sword Teacher of the permission.
The Sword Teacher gently smiled. "Well, of course."
The Caster lady got the permission. But of course, she got ridiculed by the n for her selfish request.
Thought all n: "How could a weak woman even try to shake that solid sword?"
But the Caster lady didn't waver by all the scorn. She confidently ca forward to try to take up the challenge.
There, Tyler realized one thing. Without talking about his understanding, he wanted to preview the results of the opportunities his mbers were taking.
The Caster lady had faced the floating wooden sword. Before she grabbed the hilt of the sword, she first looked at the boy controlling the sword.
The boy imdiately turned awkward at the sight of a beautiful Caster lady.
After that, the Caster lady looks at the Sword Master and whispered: "Say, Master Arsen, If I could cancel this Arts, would you be willing to accompany to drink tonight?"
The Caster lady said that while turning her back to her party leader.
The party leader, Tyler, is curious. Because the Caster lady is actually his crush.
Responding to that, the Sword Master gently answered: "Well, we can take a look at that. But first, please do the challenge because the people are waiting."
Those are sweet words that no woman can refuse. Even though it has an impression of rejection in it. But of course, the Caster Lady didn't give up.
"Alright, I get it."
The Caster Lady gripped the hilt of the sword, then easily took the floating wooden sword and controlled it. She did it easily, just like casually taking a sword from an empty space.
It certainly made everyone very surprised, especially the n who had put all their physical exertion into work.
In an instant, a commotion occurs. Asking: How did she able to do that!?
Since that is a wooden sword, the Caster Lady is not afraid to play with it.
*Clap!*
A person's clap imdiately made the atmosphere beca calr.
It was the Sword Master.
"Alright, since the sword has been taken, we will end the challenge session. But of course, I want to ask our winner to explain to people who are curious about what you just did."
The Caster Lady playing with the wooden sword first, then made the wooden sword float in the air like Aiden did.
"At first, I didn't expect such a technique to exist in Abyssal Terra. Unlike the usual Abyssal Arts used by all casters, this Sword Caster-ing fills an object's mana, which is certainly useful as a weapon or protector. I still don't know how this Arts can make a sword float and stay solidly. But it's easy to cancel it, by removing the mana in the object manually, yes, by holding it directly."
That made everyone even more shocked.
"But depending on the user and usage, this technique can be very weak and has one big drawback; this Arts can easily destroy your swords because of how the Arts works."
That one made everyone curious.
"Why is that?" asked Tyler, beca everyone's volunteers. "Even though this Arts looks so strong."
Everyone already realized how powerful Sword Caster-ing is. Especially after the incident that occurred at the Labyrinth of Carnivorous Plants and Lizards.
Before answering the question, the Caster Lady looks at the Sword Master once again.
"Could I?"
"Please."
The Sword Master without doubting giving permission.
"Despite how strong this Arts looks..."
The Caster Lady breaks the wooden sword sohow. The sword was worthless, but it still surprised everyone.
"You need, like, a lot of swords if the Sword Casters want to be dominating."
The Caster Lady looks at the five Sword Casters.
"The usual Combat Arts covered weapons with mana to cast Arts, and of course to prevent damaging to the weapon. But Sword Caster-ing filling an object, swords, with mana. That made their sword uncovered and could easily damage. But of course, the main point of these Arts is to cast a strong Arts by sacrificing the sword used. Is that right, Master?"
The Sword Master gently smiled. "You have covered all the points from this lesson."
It was quite unbelievable, or rather difficult to digest.
All the n still wondering what was their Caster talking about. All the students who writes all the point tries to understand more by reading their notes.
There, one man stood to give a strong question.
"But, doesn't that sound stupid?! Sorry, I don't an to be rude, but, who wants to sacrifice their swords to cast an Arts?!"
The Sword Master and the Sword disciples didn't take Tyler's question to their hearts. Because yes, they are know soone would ask that.
There, Kane offer [Flemish] to his Master.
The Sword Master holds the fla sword by sticking the sword to the ground. Then suddenly, an Arts being cast and create four fla sword which have the sa shape like [Flemish], or could be said are copies of [Flemish].
That gave everyone goosebumps.
"It's called [Sword Copy-ing]. This Arts could only be done by using an elental sword."
Everyone who saw felt their bodies tremble in amazent at what had just happened. But not with the four Sword Disciples.
That mont made the important person of the church, who didn't say much from the start, walk closer to the Sword Master in trembling and asked a question:
"To copy one sword and creates another, isn't that like the power of the Sword Saint?"
Except for Liliana and the Sword Master, everyone got shocked for the umpteenth ti. That ti the Sword Disciples also got surprised. Because the na of the most powerful Hunter in history ntioned without them expecting.
In that shocking question, the culprit of the shocking scene, just casually giving a gentle smile and answer:
"Well, yes. Because this Arts is originally created to rival that person's power."
