C468: The Growth of the Sword Saint / Jean

I am reminded again that a master is still a formidable thing. The Sword Saint, who had begun training in Ludia, had grown so rapidly that even Rafishal, who had lived a long time and seen many different riders, was surprised.

In the short time he had been in the capital of the Kingdom of Meltaria, his Ludia value had already increased dozens of times, to the point of approaching Yuta’s.

“It’s an incredible rate of increase although this is supposed to be a program designed for gradual enhancement…….”

I got the hang of it the first time. It’s all about the image of squeezing the power from the depths of your body and anyone can do it if they have the control to meditate and concentrate.

Rafishal’s impression of the Sword Saint was explained to me in a matter-of-fact manner.

“It takes ordinary people a long time to get the hang of it. I couldn’t believe my ears when he started saying, ‘I got it’ after the first few minutes.”

The daughter of the Sword Saint, who had been boasting the fastest growth rate in Ludia training, was also stunned by his unusual development. In addition to the Ludia value, his high adaptability is also demonstrated in his operation of the magicraft.

Many unfamiliar new functions were implemented in Excalibur, the Sword Saint’s beloved machine that Rafishal had enhanced and maintained, but he quickly understood the intent of the functions and mastered their use.

Perhaps inspired by this, Kiyone and Linnecarlo offered to engage in a mock battle at rest. They wanted to have a one-on-one mock battle, but since we were in a hurry to get to their destination, I gave them permission if they wanted to fight at the same time.

It was a mock battle against our aces Kiyone and Linnecarlo but it turned out to be an amazing situation. Kiyone and Linnecarlo, two former Heavenly Masters, who have grown tremendously, were completely outclassed.

The way he lightly deflected Kiyone’s sword blows and Linnecarlo’s magic attacks shows that he is truly a master of his art.

“How can you be more skilled than before when you’ve been asleep in a medical capsule for so long……?”

Kiyone protested, perhaps not satisfied with the ease with which her full power sword blows were being parried.

“We’re not done yet! Let’s go for another round!”

“Mm, good spirit Linnecarlo. On the other hand, Kiyone, instead of messing around, you should try to devote yourself to higher goals. You have a flaw in that you are too logical sometimes.”

Kiyone, unable to respond, swung her sword instead of talking back. However, the sword was also lightly bounced by the Sword Saint.

“It’s amazing, no one can beat the Sword Saint now,” I muttered to myself and Alana, who was listening, agreed with me.

“I think they are a kind of monster.”

“Well, I’m sure Yuta can handle it, though.”

“The two of them are not the same type, but Yuta is the same kind of monster, so it should be a good match.”

Either way, Sword Saint is now a member of our Iron Knights.

With these two trump cards, Yuta and Sword Saint, I didn’t feel like we would lose no matter who we would fight against.
