[ Yuki Skyripper (Sixth Stage Foundation Establishment Realm): He is searching for strong sword users around the town's vicinity but has found none. When he heard there was a genius sword user participating in the competition, he rushed in. He is done testing Freya's basic spear art, so now he is thinking if he should finish the fight against Freya quickly or not. ]
Reg almost broke his character as he was about to facepalm. 'This guy is the same as usual. Fortunately, he is brave and honest, which is why he doesn't get oppressed by others most of the time. Especially when you have someone like Odino, who can basically be summarized as a fantasy and power progression story addict, you can get away with any kind of weirdness you possess.'
'And, who is that girl? I didn't see her in my time spent at the IceFire Clan. Was she perhaps hidden?' Reg was surprised by Freya. He had kept a close eye on everyone and knew most, but he didn't see Freya.
[ Freya IceFire (Seventh Stage Foundation Establishment Realm): Daughter of one of the elders. She is a brave and enthusiastic girl who would do anything to fight stronger guys than her. She doesn't follow any rules. She will do anything her heart says. She wants to drag out the fight with Yuki, feeling he is strong and can satisfy her. But she has to finish quickly, or Yuki might. ]
The veins on Gale's forehead, behind Reg's disguise, started twitching constantly. Because he felt absurd and the situation funny at the same time, he said, 'These two are completely the same. I don't know what their future might be.'
Reg felt something interesting might happen to both of them, and a spark might appear. But first, Freya had to remove her curse. 'I guess I should get stronger and prepare a small gift for Yuki.'
At that moment, Reg heard someone's voice inside his head, and it was none other than Odino's.
'Kid, what kind of adventure did you go on?'
'Uhh, not very interesting, I just fought an underground organization that was kidnapping girls from this town.'
'You are saying that is not interesting!? Kid, I want you to tell me everything that occurred there.'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReg's face darkened a little. 'This guy…' He did an inaudible sigh and started narrating all the events that happened, just leaving some parts out.
The information sent by a spiritual sense could happen in a matter of seconds, like the time you spend thinking about something. It doesn't waste much time like when you talk with your mouth.
So, it took only a few seconds to narrate all the events to Odino.
Odino went silent, then said. 'I think I should have left to see it. I feel like I missed many things.'
'Don't be like that, Elder Odino. You might have missed mine, but I also missed the exciting fights you were able to watch.'
The dejected mood Odino had vanished completely after hearing Reg's consoling.
Indeed, Reg was right. He missed Ban and Jack's fight and Yuki's barging in on the competition.
'Okay, now let's focus on the fight below. I feel like something good will happen.' Odino shifted his focus to the fight below again.
'Me too.' Reg also focused on the fight while agreeing with Odino. He, too, felt something good might happen.
…
Bang!
Freya's body slammed against the wall as she coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Glargh!"
She dropped on the ground, and with a grim face, she looked at Yuki, who was casually standing without any kind of damage, waiting for her. 'How can he cut easily through my Ice Lotus? Is his sword intent unique? That is the only logical conclusion. Anyway, that doesn't matter; I have to go all out from now on to defeat him.'
TSHRUU!
Instantly, Freya's whole body lit up in her own fire.
Yuki raised his eyebrows, asking himself curiously. 'What is she up to?'
Freya mumbled softly. " [ Ice Queen's Incarnation ] "
Her fire didn't burn in anger anymore; instead, it calmed down and gathered around Freya's body.
Thrus!
Wings made of icefire emerged from her back, and armor made of icefire covered her body and her spear.
Shwosh
Freya flew in the air and looked down at Yuki with arrogance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Yuki started to channel his sky-blue spiritual energy into his sword, making it dense, while looking at Freya's new transformation with wide eyes. 'She feels much stronger than before. It feels like a totally new person.'
…
In the VIP room, everyone's eyes turned wide in shock.
Galibar blurted it out subconsciously. "She is able to learn that legendary trick of the IceFire Clan!?"
Brustiar was the same as Galibar, he didn't expect someone would be able to learn this trick. He could still vividly remember how they were beaten badly because of that technique.
For that technique, one could say IceFire Clan dominated Highload Town and nobody tried to pick on them ever.
Smiles appeared on the IceFire Clan's elders' cold-hearted faces. Nik said to Julie. "Matriarch, how do you think of this prodigy of ours?"
"Good," Julie said with pure contentment. Because she knew how hard it was to learn that technique, she was able to fully appreciate it. Only she and another ancestor could use that technique.
While others were experiencing various emotions, Joy was having serious doubts, so he asked Odino with a grim face. "Elder Odino, why did so many geniuses pop out all at once? I feel like something big is about to happen in the Kampir Region."
Odino sighed after hearing Joy's question. 'I won't say much, but your guess is not wrong."
This darkened Joy's face further. Roy, who was standing by the side, comforted. "Let's not think about those, just focus on the match now. We should see them as blessings for us."
…
Yuki's face turned serious for the first time as he said this to himself. "Looks like I have to give that technique a try."
