Takumi-dono, I'd like to ask you about today's class.

The Monday after the pizza party.

Chloe asked me a question after my swordsmanship class was over.

Sasha was making dinner with Leia today, and they were sitting on the rocky ground in front of the cave, just taking a break.

'In your last swordsmanship class, you told me that the secret to swordsmanship was not holding a sword, but today you were teaching the basics of swordsmanship as normal.

That was simply a lie to ruin the reputation of Takumi Classroom with the bullshit classes and make the students understand that my classes were a waste of time.

Karuna got really mad at me, so I reluctantly returned to a decent class today.

'Right. It's still too early to teach you the art of the sword. We still need to learn the basics, after all.''

He said the excuses he had been taught beforehand by Karuna in an unapologetic manner.

But the conversation did not end here.

''To be honest, I (I) also did not understand Takumi-dono's extreme point of view. But Alice and Leia were nodding strongly as if they understood. That's what I can't help but regret.

Alice and Leia, you understood.

That's great, I don't understand it at all.

'I have always thought that Takumi-dono would be the King of Dragons and that I would only need to stand beside him. But how can I stand next to Lord Takumi without knowing his true strength?

Yeah, there's no such thing as true strength. Nor does it make you the king of dragons.

"Takumi-dono, will you please make me an apprentice like Alice and Leia?

He suddenly said something outrageous.

You can't afford to take a third apprentice when you're full of Alice and Leia alone.

What should I do, Karuna?

'What? What? Koo-chan, you want to be my apprentice? It's fine.

I ask Karuna in a whisper, and she gives me an appropriate reply.

There is something strange about Karuna since this morning.

She was absent-minded for a long time in spite of the seriousness of her lessons.

Is something wrong?

"Oh, my training is insanely hard, Chloe.

'I hope so. I'll show you that I can endure any rigorous training.

I wish I didn't have to wish it away.

Even though it's free, I'm busy with classes every day now, and even the mysterious white one is showing up.

I'm losing more and more time for myself, and I'm losing my peace of mind.

It's a good idea to start with peeling potatoes like Leia did. Once that's perfected, we'll move on to the next round of training: ......

'Please wait, Takumi-dono. I would like to understand at least some of Lord Takumi's strength before I start my training. Even though you are called the Great Sage of Swords, I have never seen you swing a sword before. Will you please show me your sword skills, even just once?

The moment I took Chloe as my apprentice, I was in big trouble.

I can only remember wielding a sword, just a little bit, when I was an adventurer.

"Ka, Karuna. We're in trouble.

'Don't worry, Koo-chan, I don't know anything about swords. I'm sure he'll understand if you just swing it around. By the way, could you ask Koo-chan if Alice gave her a piece of paper with a number on it?

No. Karuna seems to have another problem with Karuna. What's with the numbers on the paper?

If Alice is up to something, maybe it has something to do with the White One.

'All right. I'll only show it to you once, so keep a close eye on it.

Saying this, I grip the hilt of the magic sword Karuna.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.

I've been told that Karuna can be wielded with the right amount of force, but can that be fooled?

When it comes down to it, I'll be so nervous that I won't be able to move easily.

The hand that holds Karuna becomes sweaty and strong.

It's not a good idea to hold her so tightly. I'm not going to hug you that hard. I'm getting embarrassed!

No, I'm not hugging you. I'm just holding you.

After all, there is something wrong with Karuna.

He had never said anything like this before.

Moreover, the pitch-black magic sword Karuna was gradually turning red.

''Wait a minute, Takkun, calm down once. I think this kind of thing needs to be done step by step. It's too early for us to do that!

The demon sword Karuna turns from jet black to completely red.

Moreover, a large amount of smoke is erupting from the entire sword.

''Oh, oh no, Takkun! This isn't good! I'm so embarrassed!

I try to let go of my hand at Karuna's cry, but I'm so nervous that my grip froze and wouldn't let go.

That's when.

''Takumi-dono!

Chloe clings to my arm with Karuna.

I understand. I understand everything, so please let my sister Cal go!

Chloe grabbed Karuna and took her from my frozen hand.

I understand. If Takumi-dono wields his sword seriously, most swords can't withstand his power, right? I was so selfish that I nearly destroyed my sister Karu.

Hmm. Very well, you're right.

'I think I've learned a little more about what they meant when they said the sword mastery doesn't hold a sword.

People other than me will understand the extremes that I don't understand at all.

It's super strange.

From now on, I'm going to work hard at my training so that I can get as close to Takumi-dono as possible! Please keep up the good work!

With that, Chloe returns Karna to me and runs off.

Karuna is silent and doesn't speak.

For some reason, Karuna, who I've always relied on, has gone crazy.

I look up to the heavens and hold my head in my hands as one problem (trouble) after another arises.
