Rebirth: Magic Holy Knight
Chapter 2: The Weak Knight Is Not Himself

[Swords of Swords]

Setting up the perfect position to do sword swing training, he got in the moment of his previous life even though Ayato could not move like a Holy Knight in using a sword but Ayato always imitated and corrected every mistake.

"50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55." said Ayato, breathing in every swing of her sword

[Wind Gusts]

Morning exercise with a gust of wind that hit his entire body and sweat continues to come out until it soaks his clothes. His eyes focused on the swing of the sword, his body forced to stay afloat and his mouth that kept counting the number of swings of his sword instantly showed just how seriously he took his training.

Ayato was in the forest alone to perform the exercise using the wooden sword she had made in such a way as equaling a short sword. Morning to noon, all day he kept swinging his sword to reach the number he wanted until his best friend began to look for his whereabouts.

"80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85." said Ayato while breathing tiredly at each swing of her sword

[Sheeps]

"It turns out you're here, Ayato!" said 10-year-old Edward who is a future king candidate

Edward is a figure who is smart knowledge and smart in speaking, he is actually a child who was dumped by the king's wife on the doorstep of my mother's house with the age of 2 years. By the time she was found I was 3 years old so we were 1 year different, my mother was not willing to see her alone without someone's supervision even though my mother was a single mom because my father died from hunting monsters. My mother still wanted to take care of Edward like her own son, Edward's name was not given by my mother but rather the name written on the baby basket when it was found.

We were both very close like brothers but there were many differences between us like myself who preferred to be free and to please themselves in the outside world as for Edward, she prefers to stay home reading books every day when my mother lends them to the library in the city. However, that difference does not keep us away because it makes us true friends.

[Tired]

My breath is heavy, though, my body is all sick and my head feels like fainting like this body condition has not adjusted yet but 10 years of age has reached the swing of the sword as much as 100x is an extraordinary achievement that I have ever obtained.

"Joshim!" say Ayato excitedly

"Ayato what exactly happened to you? This was extremely rare to see because Ayato had for the first time taken a serious attitude!" edward was confused to see Ayato change

It's true that I used to get bored so quickly that doing something was always half-and-half but this change has a purpose that will make me stronger. Ayato did not tell why she could take things seriously and the reason Ayato did 100x a sword swing by forcing herself to reach that number was about a vision she had gained upon rebirth.

The vision could tell how to improve, as Ayato was surprised to see some physical and other exercises with figures to gain self-improvement, an example like swinging a sword at 100x was one of Ayato's ways of reaching Sword Master.

Sword Master, to achieve it takes a sword swing as much as 10 thousand times and slashes as many as 20 thousand times. Not only that, there are still many more ways to get what Ayato wants by looking at the numbers needed to achieve this, making Ayato even more eager to strengthen herself.

"Edward always remembers my words, one day I will show you how strong I am until your best friend is reliable!" said Ayato with an arrogant smile

...

10 Years later.

"Hey, the Holy Knights are weak. Are you going to continue to use that status of your best friend to raise your degree is ridiculous!" said the head of the Training of the Holy Knight Camp named Gerland

Ayato did not care about it by continuing to walk towards the palace room. There was a reason why all this seemed to make Ayato's struggle look futile, she continued to cover up what she had been keeping even from her own best friend.

Ayato's current life looked very similar to what she had experienced before: being stamped as the weakest, taking refuge behind her best friend and the weakest Holy Knight of all. Ayato arrived at the door of the palace and opened it while advancing forward with King Edward with Queen Eliote and her 8-year-old daughter sitting on the throne of the Eleanor Empire.

"Ayato thank you for coming, there is something I want to talk about with a loyal Holy Knight like you! This is about the letter that tells the demon movement of five thousand troops led by Demon Lord Ganeshia is moving towards the Xenonia Continent with full armament like they want to attack the Eleanor Empire!" edward, who became a king

"Dad why always explain important information and negotiate with weak people like him? Dad really like the rumors that are circulating is really ridiculous. Hey, you weak Holy Knights! Not ashamed of your status which my father's best friend earned higher rights than others!" shouted Princess Reona who was the son of Edward with Eliote

"Reona stop saying that! Trusting rumors to assume your father is the ridiculous king where the shame in you is!" queen Eliote shouted while giving a reply to her own son

"Mom is the same, you two are the same. You suck!" princess Reona shouted as she left her mother and father

[Sighs Breath]

"I'm sorry for all that, Ayato! The boy had already begun to rebel my orders but I was lucky to marry a wife who understood and trusted her husband!" edward said, showing a gentle smile

"Hem, hemm! Honey don't be a tombal and start talking!" eliote said while blushing in shame

"Alright then Ayato let's prepare to defend the Eleanor Empire against the assault of Demon Lord Ganeshia!" edward said with a serious expression

"Okay king!" reply Ayato while bowing

A thin smile seemed to show the reason Ayato made her still look weak was to want to make a future similar to her previous life because she was already convinced that the arrival of Demon Lord Ganeshia would attack in order to destroy the Eleanor Empire, all of that had arrived until the appearance of the monstrous status of the Weak Knight named Ayato who was actually an Advanced Sword Master.

Seriate...
