Experience, with your body... you say? In other words... do you have the
desire to be struck by my sword, Swordsman-in-training Eugeo?"
"Of course, I would like to ask for you to stop immediately before you do so,
but I am the one who requested for guidance, after all. Asking for any more
on your part would be impertinent of me."
"Oh now, I see, I see. So, you're suggesting that you do not object to ending
it only after the first strike?"
The neatly combed down grey hair looked as though they slightly bristled.
Those eyes, thin even under normal circumstances, narrowed even further
to nearly lines, with a brutal leer focusing deep within them. It seems
Eugeo's overly respectful manner of speaking had aroused his sadistic
anticipation.
"True, it is only my duty as the second-ranked swordsman-in-training as
well as one born in a fourth class noble family, to respond to a plea for
instruction. Very well, I shall show you my sword techniques, Eugeo-dono."
The minute he said so, he unsheathed the wooden sword at his side, in his
belt, in an exaggerated motion. It was made of the same platinum oak as
Eugeo's, but elaborate patterns were engraved onto the side of its blade.
With Humbert by his side acting in that manner, Raios first thought to say
something to him, but perhaps thinking better of it, immediately shut his

mouth. Taking slow steps backwards until he was three mel away, he
nodded with a vague smile when Humbert turned to look at him.
