บท 29: Sword Instructor

The king will choose an instructor to train his children before entering the magic academy, a king also doesn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire a reliable instructor from outside the kingdom, to improve the abilities of his children before entering the magic academy.

The more proficient children are in the use of magic before entering a magic academy, the easier it will be for children to get achievements when they are in a magic academy. And with the achievements obtained, the children's reputation will get better.

But the mindset of hiring instructors only applies to aristocrats or Kingdoms who have the money to hire the best instructors in the Azush continent.

But if children who have magical abilities are born from commoners, and their parents don't have the money to hire instructors then the children born to commoners only have untapped abilities, so their reputation will always be below, noble children, and royal children who have been trained by reliable instructors.

* WHOOOSH! *

Nathan swung the 60 cm long sword at the wooden dummy, it took 2 swings to split the wooden dummy into 2 pieces.

'Sigh ... Isn't that more powerful than my wind magic? even my magic is only capable of scratching a wooden dummy the size of a single hair, and it's worse than scratches were made after 15 attempts. ' Anastasia could only grumble to herself, lamenting her completely shabby ability.

Anastasia was very excited to see Nathan practice his sword and thought to increase Anastasia's training portion with sword training. And intends to ask Clara to train herself.

After 2 hours of Nathan's training, his training was finally over. Clara trained Nathan very professionally.

Nathan, with sweat pouring down his clothes, immediately approached Anastasia and immediately sat down with her hands behind her supporting her body.

"Today you are quite excited, Prince Nathan. Usually, you can only train for 1 hour. Very good, Prince." Clara praised Nathan for being overpowering his ability to practice swordsmanship.

"Whoa, doubled from the previous training ?! You are great, Nathan. Is it because I am here that you become more excited?" Anastasia teased Nathan while wiping Nathan's sweat with the towel Remy had provided before Remy went to train with the magic troop next door.

"Ugh ... It's not ... like ... that, Sister." Nathan could not reply to Anastasia's words and turned to the other side to avoid Nathan's blushing face that his sister saw.

"Ehe, you guys look really good together now than before. And Prince Nathan looks even brighter today." Clara chuckled at Anastasia's joke to Nathan and said things that made Nathan even more embarrassed.

"Clara? Do you have free time after this? I think that after seeing you train Nathan, I became interested in the art of swordsmanship. Would you like to teach me too?" Anastasia was hesitant to offer to participate in sword training, but if Anastasia's magic was unreliable, then using a sword might be the way out of Anastasia's problem.

"Uhmm ... I'm sorry, Princess Anastasia. As an instructor ruled by the king, I can't just accept your request. I'm also not sure the king will agree to your request, princess." While saluting and answering politely Clara could not agree to Anastasia's request to join Clara's sword training.

"The king isn't sure whether to agree? What happened, Clara?" Anastasia is sad because her request to join Clara's training was not approved by Clara.

"You better talk directly to the king, maybe you will understand the king's reason," Clara replied to Anastasia's question.

"I have permission to return to the magic troop office." Clara saluted and immediately left Anastasia and Nathan in the training arena.

"Nathan ?! Do you know the reason why Father didn't agree if I took sword training?" Anastasia grabbed Nathan's shoulders and made Nathan face Anastasia.

"I also don't know about father's reason why you are not allowed to participate in sword training," Nathan answered his sister's question quietly, with a slightly upward look.

"Why ... even though it's both a useful training to defeat the enemy and also my magic is very weak even to scratch a wooden dummy I have to try 15 times if I'm not allowed to practice the sword how can I beat Prince Zach if I only rely on my weak magic. " Anastasia expressed her disappointment at the king by saying quickly while shaking Nathan's body many times.

Nathan, whose body was being shaken by his sister, made his head spin and dizzy.

"Defeating Prince Zach? You don't intend to challenge Prince Zach's duel do you, sister?" Nathan suddenly returned to his senses from his dizziness.

'Oops, due to being overly excited about Clara's words, I didn't realize that the words in my heart just came out.' Nathan, who looks at Anastasia seriously, makes Anastasia confused to answer Nathan's question.

"Ouh, about that ... I just can't let that snob ... try to threaten me." Anastasia answered haltingly. Because Prince Zach's arrogance has stuck in Anastasia's mind, making her want to make Prince Zach aware of his actions.
