The Rise of the Sword Expert
Training on the Ogre's Nest

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Every now and then I flick my hands so that the dust from their fight does not disturb my breathing and scenery.

Even Renia was tougher. This little girl seemed to be enjoying this fight.

Bam!

The water glided quickly, and Verion avoided it. He looked exhausted, but his eyes remained sharp.

Fire centered on him, he seemed to need high concentration to process it into a fireball. That's a pretty big ball, Verion threw it at Harzem.

PYAS!

A huge wall of water appeared in front of Harzem, the fireball disappeared quickly. Their difference in strength was very noticeable. To get that wall of water out, Harzem didn't need much movement. I admit it, despite his playful love, Harzem is quite good at his magic.

The loss of Verion's fireball easily took him by surprise, as he was trying to bring out strength again, Verion fell down from exhaustion. His mana has run out.

He's dropping down on this vast land. Harzem looked at me with a proud smile. Look at me, I managed to defeat him, his expression said so.

"Is Brother Harzem really that good?" Renia who was standing next to me made a sound. Seeing her dear sister turned out to be a powerful witch, she felt amazed.

"He's strong, but I'm stronger."

He looked at me bravely, it was not a secret that no one else knew. Comparing Harzem to me is not appropriate according to Renia.

"I'm great, right?"

Harzem shouted while waving at me. He's walking towards us.

"You better try harder." He stopped his way, tilting his head slightly in wonder.

I smiled cunningly at him.

"Achion! Let me rest first!"

He shouted very loudly when he knew I was throwing the towing potion not far from him. Now is the time for them to go through hell training.

"Renia, let's sit there." I ignored Harzem's screaming voice and pointed down the tree that Nami had laid out a mat. In the cake basket, Tanka was eating sweet bread while paying attention.

I decided to go to the dark forest using a magic scroll. In the vast aini, there is an ogre, and we will freely do the exercises.

I sat waiting for the reaction of the towing potion. Nami gave me a cold drink, while drinking it, my eyes kept watching.

It worked!

It didn't take long for Ogre to come to them.

I saw five Ogres running around with their huge bodies. Ground vibrates. Levian looked at me, but I returned his gaze indifferently.

I was prepared if anything happened to them. Renia eats her bread casually watching Harzem and Verion being surrounded by Ogre.

"They've been practicing for two hours. Aren't you being too cruel, Akion?"

I deny that. I saw from the results of Verion's short break, he threw a small fireball at Ogre, but it was meaningless. Harzem traps one Ogre in his huge water wall.

The other Ogre looked at Harzem, throwing the large chunk of land they had raised towards Harzem. Harzem is smart enough, he sharpens his water magic and defends the piece of land quickly.

I looked at him, his eyes glimpsed similar to Akion's. A predator. His tired body stiffened, then staggered slightly back.

Verion squatted nearby, his face lowered, to focus himself again or just breathe.

But then.

Duars!

Both of their bodies were slammed far away.

"Ohuk.... From Verion's mouth came out blood, he rubbed it. Looking hard at the Ogre.

Harzem curses a little, I don't know what he's muttering. Then his sharp blue eyes, he killed two Ogres in front of him.

It's a very emotional feeling.

On the forward, his hand told Verion to stay behind him. Two more Ogres, then everything will be fine.

It's a one-on-two fight.

The ogre roared until the ears hurt. Flashing his big fist, the strong wind did not make Harzem retreat. Harzem went ahead, and chanted something. A rune appeared in front of him, and the Ogre was slammed.

Harzem smiled triumphantly.

Nah! It's dangerous!

My body moved quickly and the Ogre's head rolled near Harzem's feet.

"Well, that's disgusting" he put on a disgusted face.

"Never feel like winning too early, Harzem." I spoke strongly to Harzem.

If there had been no me, then Harzem's head would have been destroyed by the blow from Ogre's fist.

She's quiet. Glancing is not focused.

Levian helped Verion. He checked the bloody Verion. But with his pride, Verion refuses Levian to help him walk. His face was disappointed, he just lowered his head and walked over with a grim face.

**

"You okay?" Verion patted his hand slowly. His face is still grim.

"Your progress is pretty good."

"Are you kidding me?" He's not confident.

"How's Levian?"

"Mister Verion's physical strength has increased quite a lot. The fight that was done earlier was also quite intense, although there were still flaws in experience and magic power."

Verion must have run out of Mana so he had a hard time fighting at the end.

He stared in disbelief, his face unfriendly anymore. "Don't talk nonsense to please my heart."

"Do you think we're lying? Your attitude towards your own teacher is impolite. Is that so the attitude of a noble honorable?"

To be honest, I was a little annoyed at Verion's rejection. I know he's disappointed in her, but he shouldn't have forgotten his accomplishments.

"I'm sorry...." He realized his mistake, but remained uninspired.

He has made comparisons to Harzem.

"Harzem is a witch of circle four. Do you know that?"

She shook her head.

"Please be sad, but never forget that it is true that you are growing." I abandoned.

"You've been trying, Mr. Verion." I heard Levian was still encouraging him from the side.

However, he, Verion dropped himself on the wasteland, he stared at the shining sun not too bright.

Not long after he closed his eyes.

As expected. He immediately stood up as I told him to start training again.

Harzem dragged his feet while walking. When their eyes met, Verion smiled at Harzem.

"Achion we better rest again. I'm still tired. Why didn't we take Eli, anyway?" He grumbled.

Compared to listening to her grievances, I stared at her sharply. Harzem obeyed Akion. He had prepared with his non-serious attitude.

Harzem plays his feet on the ground. Her hair moved as the wind touched her. I did not rebuke him when he did not hear my voice clearly. His problem.

"start."

Bam!

The flames attacked Harzem quickly, the tip of his hair burning. Fire was on the end of his arm. Quickly he realized it, Harzem turned it off easily.

What annoyed her the most was her charming hair being burned by Verion's flames.

He stared in anger.

There, as expected, Verion did not wait for Harzem, he went on the attack once more.

The snake-shaped attack of fire that swerved in a circle. In a rotating fire, Harzem is struck by fire.

Harzem found a way. He flew up on the water. That's an astounding thing. Forming water and riding it definitely requires a high focus. A little mistake Harzem could have fallen.

But Verion did not give up. From above the sky, Verion rained down on Harzem with a rain of fire.

Harzem raised his head, staring at the rain of fire that came like a small meteorite.

He formed an umbrella.

"They fought fiercely, Mr. Akion."

I wasn't looking at Levian. Give an answer with just a small nod.

Genius.

Harzem is a genius in my opinion. But Verion's the one who doesn't give up.

This time, from above Harzem formed dozens of arrows from the water. His hand moved forward, just then all the arrows moved swiftly towards Verion.

Bugh! Bugh! Bam!

The sound of explosions and incisions rang out behind the covering dust.

I noticed. From behind the dust, I saw the shadow of Verion putting up the horses.

What's he gonna do?

BAM!

That was a big explosion.

He shot like an arrow up. The surprised Harzem did not have time to make protection, a hard fist lodged in his left cheek. Harzem lost his balance, his water magic was destroyed, he fell quite hard.

"It must have hurt." Tanka giggled next to me.

He must have kept his annoyance at Harzem who was too close to Eli, looked at him beautifully, and seduced him endlessly.

"Ugh.." - UH...."

Blood flowed from her broken lips.

Successfully dropping Harzem is not the antidote. Verion himself is not in good shape. On both his left arm and leg, I saw a scratch wound that made the blood flow. It must have been the Harzem attack.

He had run out of stamina.

Harzem moved his right hand, placed it in front, and closed the palm. Suddenly from underground Verion stood on foot, the water instantly enveloping him forming bubbles. It was flying, and powerful. From inside Verion couldn't get out no matter how he tried.

I saw him, he was slowly weakening.

"Harzem, let go."

He didn't let go. Harzem's condition looks not good, his eyes look empty. For a second I was beside him.

"Sister, let go" I said gently with a smile.

He let go of Verion, looking at me who was smiling with a surprised expression. He lost consciousness. That's very dangerous.

Verion coughed. The water that was being sucked by him came out.

Levian.

He sat down weakly, his eyes still looking unfocused. But he seems to be fine. It makes me relieved.

"Did I almost make him wretch?"

For a moment I felt guilty, but I chuckled softly.

"Almost. But your practice is very satisfying." I touched the corner of his injured lip. "You look better with this wound."

"When his fist lodged in your face, it was a very beautiful thing I saw today."

Tanka's taunts are full of personal feelings-Vengeance.

And don't forget their messy appearance. Their clothes were torn everywhere.

Verion healed himself, I saw from a distance, his wounds closing slowly but imperfectly. After recovering himself, Verion came to us.

"Are you all right, Brother Harzem?"

Harzem grinned in response.

"That's funny. It's not you who almost died."

Verion scratched his nape in shame, "You are indeed great, Brother Harzem. Even if I lose, I enjoy this fight."

He reached out to Harzem who was sitting down. Harzem greeted him, both of them smiling. In match practice, there is always competition that sometimes brings personal feelings, but if they accept it, then they can be closer.

"Here I help heal your wounds, brother."

"Aah?"

Harzem noticed it when he saw the scar on Verion's closed body. He looked at wonder.

"Verion used to be a priest" I explained.

"Aah?!" He was even more surprised when he heard that.

"We're starting." Verion put his hand on Harzem's face without touching it. His hand shone, then Harzem's wound closed.

"Well, this is awesome!" Harzem. "You have great strength, son." Harzem embraces Verion like his sister. I know that Harzem is an easy guy to blend in with. Now he is closer to Verion.

Verion's acting awkwardly embarrassed.

"Yes, so the wound problem is nothing to worry about. You can practice your fight desperately if this is the case." I smiled cunningly.

From my two eyeballs, they knew I would be even more ruthless to them. As they gulped his saliva, I felt funny myself with the action.
