I didn’t knohat to expect ofpartners My request had been fairly last-ining the soldiers inside the castle to be present
There were quite a few conjurers and augned as a precaution to keep the residents inside safe I noticed quite early on thatpartners out of any one of them seemed reasonable
What I didn’t expect was the heavy presence of three, obviously powerful, elders inside the training grounds alongside Kathyln and a s Virion
“Ah, you’re here!” Virion bolted up to his feet, taking the box fro roup “I want you to meet everyone”
I looked back over oodbye like aher son off to a battlefield
“I know the two of you are already acquainted,” Virion said,to Kathyln “But for formality's sake, this is Princess Kathyln of the royal Glayder House and her guardian, Hester Flaray hair pulled tightly back into a bun dipped her head in a for
“Flamesworth?” I blurted, surprised
“Ah, so you’re familiar with my family,” the woman said, a hint of pride in her voice
“Yes Fairly fahtin my mind and focused on the princess
“A pleasant surprise to see you, Kathyln, but what are you doing here?” I asked
“Princess Kathyln is an accomplished ice-affinity conjurer now in the dark-yellow core stage,” Hester answered “I had been asked by Co, but my pri here together, we are essentially achieving two goals at once”
I glanced back at Kathyln, who nodded shyly in agree with Master Varay, so I’ht Classic pair,” the gruff dwarf sitting on a raised stone pillar se bulbous nose that led to a thick bush of white covering the lower half of his face He was tall in coht’ve been fro for sure, though, was that his body looked to be composed completely ofhis are calloused one
“Pleasure toLonuid, but
Whether it was to gauge ant—lance, I didn’t know, but I reciprocated his greeting with a firone through as a child after inheriting Sylvia’s Dragon Will er than it appeared That, with the fact that I had practically lived this whole life with a sword in ainst this bearded ball of muscle
The tiniest so “Not bad Not bad”

“Careful, Buhnd The kid didn’t become a lance with just a pretty face,” Virion teased “Arthur, this musclehead has been a close friend of enius when it couarantee you’ll learn a lot”
“What’s wrong with my looks?” Buhnd snapped “I’ll have you know that I’m still quite the ladies’with the sensitive”
I studied the two bickering, holding ue from all the questions I had
Just by the thick silver aura he emitted, which was almost visible to the naked eye, he was definitely a powerful individual If he was so close to Virion, I didn’t understand why he hadn’t been chosen to be the dwarven representative rather than Rahdeas
Because of the recent events, it was obvious that Virion had introduced Buhnd as a friend to alleviate my initial suspicions of him, but just the fact that he was a dwarf I had never seen before put uess that makes me racist I suppressed a chuckle
Race in this world was much less subtle than back in my old world, but I never considered myself one to discriminate based on outer appearances or locations of birth However, witnessing a fairly large faction of dwarves cooperating with our ene personally betrayed by a powerful dwarf did harden me of my previous fair-mindedness
My attention abruptly turned to the only person I had yet been introduced to by a loud, surly yawn
As if the yawn had been his cue to be introduced, Virion spoke “Arthur, this is Camus Selaridon He’s a—”
“The boy doesn’t need to know any more than my name I’m here to spar with him Any information beyond that is irrelevant,” Ca told off He was the leader of this continent’s entireVirion’s unperturbed expression, but made a mental note to ask the co the , I si a closer look at hi silvery-blonde hair fell down to his shoulders in disheveled locks, covering his forehead and eyes Long pointed ears poked out fro he was of elven descent Unlike h, he took no care of his outward appearance and, by the stench eiene
“Well!” Virion broke the silence “I’ to be well acquainted these next several weeks so, while I’d love to stay and watch, I get the pleasure of spendingover h, our co room, his shoulders just a bit more slumped over than before
Virion’s departure left us arooant, just a large dirt field a little less than fifty yards long and noof mana-reinforced metal There was a small pond off to the far left corner of the room, but other than the door on the opposite wall, it was just a large space to train
The sight of Eotup for the o over before you start your training,” she said, wiping the sweat off her forehead

Looking down at the equipiant wooden box I had carried inside, I was surprised at how fath of es and knobs It resembled some sort of ancient control center on a shi+p from my previous world with the exception of the crystals on either side of it One was large and clear while the other smaller crystal had a blue tint to it
The panel had a cluster of wires leading to the wall of the training rooe disk attached to the wall I hadn’t paid much attention when I looked before but the n They looked to be embedded into the wall and were spaced out evenly

“Of course” Alanis nodded, and I found etup

“Perfect You look great!” E my breastplate so that the blue crystal embedded on there would be directly over my sternum, the area where my mana core was located
