After finishing breakfast, Liens returned to the external training grounds, where Atel was already standing in the center of the open space, silently waiting for his arrival.
Seeing Liens, joy flashed in Atel's eyes, but her expression remained serious and stern, as if maintaining a battle stance.
Liens glanced at the students watching the commotion around them, paid them no mind, and after approaching Atel, he calmly said to her:
"Since Teacher Atel is already ready, there's no need to wait until class time... Let's begin."
Liens calmly gazed at Atel before him, and to show basic respect, he drew his longsword and assumed a defensive posture.
Seeing the stance Liens took, Atel knew he was letting her go first, so she nodded seriously and said, "Please enlighten me."
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
The longsword instantly left its sheath, and Atel dashed forward at a speed unfathomable to ordinary people, crossing several meters in an instant like a black shadow.
"Clang!"
