Nightly Guest (Part 1)

In the training ground of the Iphelleta mansion

Within the dark field, a black-haired boy stood

The way he held the wooden sas a little aard

"Hoo"

The boy sighed while staring at the dummy

It was a dummy filled with straithout any sort of internal mechanisms; it was purely for novices

’Shall I test it?’

He mumbled to himself as he spread his feet to shoulder width

This stance was quite different fro, he charged toward the du it

"Huwaap!"

Smack!

The strike made a dull noise

""

A new mark could be seen on the duood strike nonetheless, considering it was his first ti the sword

Yet, it was hard to count it as a strike from the Iphelleta House, the house that was said to be blessed by the sword

"Young master?"

Ian, who saw the strike happen, spoke uncertainly

It was… severely lacking compared to his expectation

As far as Ian knew, Riley had le slash

The situation now looked worse than ever

"P-please, try again!"

Ian shook his head and pleaded once ht to himself repeatedly that his eyes did not deceive him

"This should do"

Riley muttered faintly

He then proceeded to cast away the wooden blade upon the ground

"Young master?"

"That’s it I’m bored"

Surprised, Ian stretched his ar?"

"The library I’ll just readmaster! Please, just one azed upon the wooden blade lying on the ground

"Kuu"

A warrior throwing his blade away?

Ian kne heavy of a h Riley would not have had a clue what ither clothes"

"Really?"

In a roo a white dress turned her head

Behind her was a hooded man, who had his head lowered Dressed fully in black, he followed her like a shadow

"Hoas his skill?"

The woh the ure paused momentarily

"Atrocious"

""

"I do not know if these words would fit a man of the Iphelleta House, but his talent for the blade was nonexistent The strike he displayed was a perfect exa the man’s report

"Well what did you expect? He is the famous Master Lazy Blade"

As she spoke to herself, the man tilted his head as he asked a question

"Then are the ru a sword?"

"Yes It is true"

"Huh"

The hed in disbelief

Anyone in the Iphelleta House could beco a sword

In that fa

And when he finally changed hisit had little effect

How useless

How pathetic that child is

"It didn’t seem like he has a weak body either How shaue

His mission here was complete
