Chapter 65: Lily's Gratitude!

'Bang—'

A crisp sound of collision echoed, and in the next second, the long sword in Ethan's hand was sent flying away.

Suddenly having no weapon, Ethan had no time to react before Finn's spear tip was at his throat.

Had it been a real fight, he would have been done for.

Then, Finn put away his long spear, and his 'test' finally came to an end.

"Ethan, your strength, speed, and reflexes are all excellent, but your attacks are too 'direct.'"

"Huh?"

"Your fighting style, it seems like something you've figured out bit by bit on your own."

"Yes, it's something I improved gradually while fighting monsters in the dungeon."

Finn nodded, understanding Ethan's situation.

Most ordinary people are in the same situation as Ethan, growing bit by bit in actual combat without systematic training.

"In this case, you'll need to start learning from scratch."

"Okay~"

Being a level 1 and having the chance to learn from a level 6 adventurer was a rare opportunity.

Ethan didn't know how Freya managed to give him this opportunity, but what he learned was his own.

So, how could he not be serious?

"First is the way you draw your sword. I may not be a swordsman, but I have encountered many powerful swordsmen, your...."

Finn began his teaching, and Ethan was also studying seriously.

The whole process, from theory at the beginning to practice later on, Finn pointed everything out, then gradually helped Ethan learn and grow through sparring.

The process went 'smoothly', with one willing to teach and the other willing to learn.

"Hm? Is that the captain? But who is that other guy?"

As time passed, members of Loki Familia started to wake up.

Seeing Finn and Ethan on the training field, they were puzzled.

As the captain of Loki Familia, training newcomers wasn't typically Finn's job; usually, level 3 members were in charge of such a responsibility.

"Aki, what are you looking at?"

"The captain is on the training field, fighting with someone I don't recognize, and it seems like that person's not from our Familia~"

"Not from our Familia?"

The elf girl leaned in to look and then saw the two people on the training field.

She didn't recognize Ethan and hadn't heard of any new members joining.

So, where did this guy come from?

He must be special if he managed to get personal training from the captain of their Familia.

"Aki, Alicia, what are you looking at?"

An amazoness happened to come out and asked the two, who were clustered at the window.

"Tione, come and see, do you know that guy?"

"Which guy?"

Following Aki's gaze, Tione saw Ethan and Finn on the training field.

She did recognize Ethan, not because she knew him personally, but because their Familia had been investigating him before.

As an executive, she naturally knew quite a bit.
