Last Wish System

If anyone without the permission of a member of the Sword Five entered in such area, the punishment would be unavoidable.

After having cleaned his new house, Yale managed to flee from Wyba and Lar and changed his appearance before going to the Sword Arena.

Yale had used his authority as a new member of the Sword Five to create few normal citizen tokens. That function existed to let the members of the Sword Five bring their family and friend into Sword City skipping all procedures, but Yale used that to create a few fake identities.

Being a member of the Sword Five he would catch too much attention in the Sword Arena, and that was something Yale didn’t wish. Yale’s swordsmanship was too strong with the style he learned from his past life’s memories, but he still wanted to practice some normal swordsmanship and develop Sword Qi with his own strength.

The level of that casual sword style surpassed him, and he feared that only relying on it would be bad for his future as it was like starting the house by the roof. Moreover, he didn’t want to kill his opponents because they were unable to withstand that sword style; he wasn’t someone who was delighted killing others without reason.

Yale had created five fake identities, and with them, he could battle at least five times each day in the arena; without using that sword style, he wasn’t that strong with pure swordsmanship, but he noticed that he improved a lot since before learning it.

Just learning a sword style from a powerful expert wasn’t enough to turn into a great swordsman, but it was enough to provide a huge boost for anyone.

After all, any style created by someone who was at least a Law Master was incredibly powerful and could disregard stages. However, relying only on that would end up turning into a lack of foundation in the future. The problem wouldn’t happen if Yale had all his memories regarding swordsmanship, but he just had that fragment he remembered while he started seeing Lar’s battle.

Yale’s strategy to battle more times in the same day with different identities would be impossible for anyone who wasn’t proficient in something like Shape Shift; Yale guessed that he should have been the first in doing something like that because such skills were difficult to learn at low ranks.

When Yale returned to his new house, he found Wyba attacking Lar with a wooden sword. It wasn’t that those two finally were unable to restrain themselves and started a fight, Lar had decided to teach Wyba a bit because she was bored after Yale left and thought that since Yale valued Wyba, it would be better having a good relationship with her.

“Lar thank you for helping Wyba in sword training. She wouldn’t attack me even if it is for training and the golems aren’t as good as a real opponent.”

Lar blushed at Yale’s words, and at the same moment, the wooden sword hit her head. Yale was her weak point and lowered her guard when he spoke to her; Wyba was just a little girl, but she knew to make use of the moment when her opponent lowered the guard.

“Wyba! I was speaking with your big brother! Attacking me at that moment isn’t fair!”

Wyba had just smiled; she had also experienced battles in the past and wasn’t naive enough to stop attacking because the opponent was distracted.

“You said that any distraction is fatal in a battle, this isn’t Wyba’s fault.”

Wyba said those words as a retaliation because Lar had been too cocky when starting to teach her. Lar was embarrassed after hearing that while Yale laughed at the situation.

“That’s right Lar; you made a mistake by lowering your guard before finishing the training battle.”

Although Yale called it a training battle, the only one battling was Wyba because Lar didn’t dare to hurt her as she feared the retaliation of doing it; Lar had only avoided her attacks.

“Just be more careful the next time. Come with me; I will start to teach you as I promised, there is another skill you have to master before learning the one you want. Wyba you can continue training here with a golem if you want.”

Yale summoned a Stone Golem; that golem would just receive attacks and wouldn’t attack. Thus, Wyba could train without worries of being injured. However, the efficiency of training with a golem was far lower than with a real opponent.

Yale led Lar into an empty room and started to teach her Body Illusion, the skill that should be mastered before starting to learn Shape Shift.

“After two hours, you still don’t grasp even the basics about the skill. Am I such a bad teacher?”

Yale hadn’t expected that lack of progress from Lar, but the truth was that Body Illusion was a hard skill even among the illusion spells whose were already difficult. In the special realm, that spell was easier to master due to the favorable conditions and Yale thanks to his Illusion Immunity had a great speed in learning any illusion spell.

“There are no problems with your teachings! It is just that I am bad learning spells. In the Magus Path, I am just a 1-star Novice, this type of skill is too advanced and difficult, but I won’t give up!”

Lar didn’t dare to say that Liye was a bad teacher, he had a reputation of a legendary master with uncountable people wanting to become his disciple at any cost.

Yale wasn’t a legendary master like Liye, but he was teaching Lar very well, the problem was Lar’s talent regarding illusion spells and the fact her Magus Path was far weaker than her Warrior Path.

Although she had trained both paths equally before the Novice Rank, she focused on the Warrior Path after that. Lar had just started to train the Magus Path again after having reached the peak of the Novice Rank in the Warrior Path. Advancing to the Apprentice Rank in the Warrior Path would make her look like a kid for even more time, so she decided to focus on the other path instead of advancing.

“I learned it while being in the Mortal Rank. However, don’t worry, I just need to lower my expectations a bit, you are still a kid after all.”

Lar was just a normal little girl obsessed with training and with some sword memories of her past life before reaching the Novice Rank. Although she recovered more memories later and remembered who she was, that wasn’t enough to completely overwrite the personality born in her current life as if she had those memories from the start. Thus, even if she tried to act like her past life, she was still a kid, and she would need to mature like everyone.

Moreover, the fact her body didn’t mature and remained in that child-like state was an obstacle for her to mature correctly. After all, body and mind were connected.

“I am not a kid! I will demonstrate to you that I can learn this skill quickly!”

Yale sighed and just patted Lar’s head. Although she knew that Yale was treating her like a kid at that moment, she liked that sensation of being patted, so she didn’t argue and just enjoyed it.

After some more hours, Yale decided to tell Lar to stop and continue the next day because sometimes resting a bit was more useful than overworking. However, Lar immediately challenged him to some swordsmanship sparring. Lar was the best opponent to practice his previous life’s casual sword style, and the sparring was extremely beneficial for both of them.

Regarding swordsmanship, Yale had to admit that Lar wasn’t like a normal kid, but in the other areas, she was just like any other inexperienced kid who lacked experience in life. After all, not everyone had so many experiences, and real battles like Yale with that age and Lar had practically lived sheltered by the Larken Clan without real danger for her life.

That night, Lar and Wyba refused to go to their houses and ended up sleeping again with Yale, who after some arguing had stopped bothering about the fact that they had three huge mansions, but the three of them ended up sleeping in the same room.

The next day, Yale returned to the Sword Arena while Lar trained with Wyba. Afterward, Yale taught Lar about Body Illusion, and both sparred with swords after that.

That routine remained the same for some months.
