Another World Mall-Chapter 574: Two Months Later

Clink!

Jay’s sword was flicked into the air, spun a few times, and hit the ground.

Jay and Christina looked surprised because no one would expect Clovis to be able to easily flick his sword like that. Jay’s grip was one of the strongest in the group, so they were simply unable to comprehend how Clovis was able to do it.

"Hu…" Clovis took a deep breath. "I managed to do it."

"Clovis… What did you do?" Jay didn’t know what to say. Even if Clovis got stronger, this change was simply too much. He couldn’t comprehend how he was able to go this strong in just a single night.

Clovis smiled. "Well, maybe you call it an inspiration. The first one you saw, the one that allowed my ranged attack to travel much further, is a heavy sword. The one that flicked your weapon was the soft sword.

"Both of them are complementing each other. For example, I utilized the swing by using the Heavy Sword. However, I also sliced the wind with a Soft Sword. This way, there’s completely no resistance from the wind, allowing my attack to go much further."

"Hmm…" Jay looked down, falling into deep thought.

Even Christina couldn’t help but wonder if she could do the same thing but with her shields. If she could use that Soft Sword, she might be able to increase her arsenal. In the end, their Elseingarde was a family known for their defense.

And their defense had been boosted to the highest. Even her grandfather knew how to defend offensively.

That was why she wanted to learn this.

"Do you mind if I observe you when you are training?" Christina asked.

"Sure. I don’t mind." Clovis nodded.

In the end, the three of them were training together. In the end, the three of them were working together to practice the techniques. Clovis didn’t know whether Christina could learn it or not, adjusting it to switch her style. However, he knew Christina was talented. She definitely knew whether she could learn it or not.

For the next two months, they continued training the techniques while hunting down some beasts from time to time.

Clovis wanted to reach Tier 4 within a few months, fully aware that he didn’t have a lot of time before problems would start to occur.

Kanaria and Jay would be the first ones to reach Tier 4, but they didn’t know whether they could reach it before the upcoming trip.

As expected, the one who was most thrilled by the upcoming trip was none other than Erwin.

"Are you really going there as well?" Aileen’s voice echoed through the Skyphone.

"Yep. I told Clovis two months ago about your trip and asked him if he wanted to go or not. The upcoming trip would be quite hard for you, no?"

"Well, the trip itself isn’t hard. The problem is with my teammates." Aileen sighed.

"They are not skilled? Or they are annoying? If it’s the latter, we will beat them up. If it’s the former, we can help you."

"Mhmm… Both?" Aileen paused for a moment. "My teacher seems to be arranging it in a way that I can get closer to this guy."

"Who?"

"An annoying prick. He is born from a good family, and my teacher is trying to get close to that family."

"What? Isn’t your teacher supposed to protect you?"

"I know, right? This is frustrating."

Erwin thought for a moment. "In that case, why don’t you leave? I bet Clovis doesn’t mind if you join our group. You have almost reached Tier 5, right?"

"Yep. Well, I don’t really want to trouble my family. If I leave just like that, not only my teacher but that guy’s family is going to harass my family. While it’s true that my family is a powerhouse in the city, the problem is much bigger than that." Aileen sighed.

Erwin could hear the frustration in her voice. "Well, I have told you I will beat anyone that dares to approach you and shut the mouth of the people who think I’m not worthy. I know how much you care for your family, but I believe it’s better to cut the connection. Are you even that indebted to your teacher?"

"Mhmm…" Aileen pondered. "I don’t think so. He has taught me a couple of things, but I have also helped him with a few things."

"I personally think enough is enough. Even if I have to beg Clovis, I will take my leave. Besides, we also have Christina, who is from the Tier 9 Elseingarde family."

Aileen couldn’t help but smile. She knew how prideful Erwin was. Even though it was to his captain, he was willing to lower his head and bend his knees.

"Let me think about it for a while. If it’s truly that bad, I will leave without much care." Aileen finally agreed.

"Alright. Just tell me if you need anything. I will help you. For the time being, we’re planning to visit the same destination. You don’t mind, right?"

"Mhmm. That’s fine by me." Aileen nodded. "Well, it’s already almost a year. We can finally meet again."

"Yeah. You don’t know how excited I am. Though I know you are more excited than I am. Finally seeing your handsome boyfriend after so long must be exciting."

"Look at you, bragging again." Aileen chuckled. "I will send you the details about the mission as well as the place we’re staying."

"Yeah. We are done with the paperwork, so we just need to book the rooms. How long are you going to stay there?"

"The mission this time will take a lot of time, so most likely about a month?"

"Sounds good." Erwin nodded.

"I’ll hang up then. Hearing your voice makes my worries gone. Thank you, Erwin."

"Hehehe. This bro is so charming that it can ease your worries."

"Hehe." Aileen chuckled. "Love you, take care."

"Yep. I love you too, take care over there. Don’t hesitate to call me if you need help."

Aileen smiled while hanging up. She looked at the sky that somehow brightened after the call. She grabbed her swords and muttered, "Alright. Let’s get fired up one more time today and finish the training."
