I've acquired the Hard Sword.

　I drew my sword and breathed a sigh of relief.
　I was able to successfully obtain the Hard Sword.
　The power of the Hard Sword is about 60% more powerful than the Hard Sword Modifier.
　I've only used both of them once, and I have a hunch, so I wouldn't exactly say that.

''Huh?　Revell, you've come very early today.

Are you training this morning, Revell-san?

　Kurt and Fear came into the arena.

Yeah. "Yeah. I was just checking to see if you've learned to use the Stout Sword.

'What?　When did it become available?

　Fear was surprised to see the rabbit's ears pop up.
　It was understandable.
　She hadn't made much progress on the Hard Sword before the tournament began.
　If I hadn't had to fight the Manticore, I wouldn't be able to get it now.

I just recently got the hang of it. So I guess I'll just get the rest of it in a hurry.

"Yes. ....... Can you get it that easily?　This is all I can say is talent. That's not fair. Effort.

''Well, I can see why Fear would think that, but will Fear really be able to receive and utilize his talent for hard work?

　Kurt said.

"Huh?

Revell experiences magic depletion 10 times a day. Plus he has a tremendous knowledge of magic. Even I'm not sure I'd be able to make that kind of effort.

''Ah ......, come to think of it, that's right. ....... I still don't need the talent for hard work.

　Fear looked at me like I was looking at the poor guy.
　I wasn't sure if I was being complimented or humiliated right now.

''What do you think of the power of the Hard Sword that you acquired with it?

　Kurt asked curiously.

"I was just about to tell Mr. Lloyd about it. He's been doing a hell of a job on me.

　It's always good to see your students grow up.
　I'm sure you were so kind to me.
　I'd like to return the favor.

Maybe I'll get a chance to see it when he does.

Oh, I want to see it, too.

I'll go get Mr. Lloyd.



　When I went to the guildmaster's office, I was a little surprised to see Lloyd-san working.
　When I told him that I had acquired the 《Stout Sword》 and asked if he would take a look at it, Lloyd-san came to the arena with a happy smile on his face.
　I thought about inviting Ral to join us, but he was not there because it was early in the morning.



"Well then, let's see it. Let's see your "Sword of Steel".

　Mr. Lloyd says.

"Yes,

　I answer and move away from them.


　Then I activate the Hard Sword.


　The sound of the sword ripping through the sky is incomparable to anything I've ever practiced.
　Seeing this scene, Mr. Lloyd laughed vigorously.

That's definitely the Hard Sword!　I never thought I'd get it in such a short period of time. I can't help but laugh at the surprise.

Even to the untrained eye, I could tell it was a hell of a blow.

'Mr. Revell, it's really great!　It's no wonder we lost this one!　Oh, I can't help it!

　The us Fia is referring to would be Fia and Kurt .
　...... I thought I hadn't acquired the "Sturdy Sword" at the time, but I decided to keep it quiet .

''However, there was a part of this "Stiff Sword" that could be improved.

Ho: ....... How the hell do you propose to improve it?

　Lloyd-san muttered with interest.

''The Stout Sword is a full blown blow, right?

　I ask Mr. Lloyd for confirmation.

Yeah, that's right. That's right. The sword is a single unleashed blow for all intents and purposes.

That's what I've improved upon. Lloyd-san was right, the Stout Sword is only a blow that you can fire with all your might.

...... I see.

Wow, that's some Revel. You think outside the box.

　A convinced Mr. Lloyd and Kurt.

'Mr. Revell, I'm sorry ....... I don't know anything about it.

　Fear's a bit of a poser.


　Well, it's just that the two of them are amazing, which you can guess from this explanation, and they would normally react like Fea .

''In other words, with the 《Rigid Sword》 intact, it's impossible for me to unleash a blow beyond the limit.

''Hmmm. ...... I kind of get it, but I get it. But is it possible to strike a blow beyond the limit?

It's possible. I already have it.

What?

"Heh. ......

'Hahaha!　How many times in one day do I have to surprise you to make you feel better about yourself!

　I've decided to show you the 《Goh-no-Sword Kai》 as well.
　I'll be able to find out how much this strike is worth, and seeing Lloyd's reaction will help me to understand what I need to do from now on.

Since we're here, I'm also going to show you a modified version of the Hard Sword: ...... that's called the Hard Sword Modifier.

　Adjust your posture again.
　Then, maintain the magic wave at its maximum level.
　...... I see, this state seems to drain a lot of magic and strength .
　After using it again, I understood why I slept for three days after the Manticore battle.

　When I activated the Hard Sword Revise, I was able to slash into the ground ahead of me.
　That would mean that the current strike was so powerful that the wind pressure could slice through the ground.

''............ Really?''

...... Totally, Revell is getting stronger at a great rate.

...... I'm having trouble reacting to a more awesome blow than I did earlier.

　Everyone was looking at me with a dumbfounded face .

''...... Haha, the wall of Mr. Battling Revell has become even higher .

　Fear muttered with a sigh.

'The higher the goal, the better. The easier they are to achieve, the more boring they are.

　Kurt answers.
　That's typical of Kurt's thinking, I thought.

　Mr. Lloyd looks at me stunned.
　I've gotten the general idea from this reaction, but I'm going to ask him what level the blow was at, just in case.

"Mr. Lloyd, what rank does that strike apply to?

...... I'm sure he could take out an S-ranked monster in one hit. Honestly, there aren't many people who can do better than this. You'd have to be your father's class to do that.

　Indeed, the Manticore was a single strike with the Rigid Sword, Kai.
　Being able to kill an S-ranked monster with a single strike is quite powerful, from what Lloyd-san said.

　If that's the case, seeking something with a high blow power will be a low priority in the future.
　Learning more skills and increasing your hand will be the key to improving your ability.
　Fortunately, I've already looked up some of the most effective skills in Wisdom.

　The best thing you can do right now is to acquire skills while completing the quests that Eleanor introduced to you.
