The sound of clashing wooden swords echoed faintly in the background as Alex and Cairo sparred with each other.
Their spar was pure swordsmanship, so Alex didn't wield a shield. He wanted to learn as much as he could from his master on how to wield the sword properly.
Perhaps Cairo knew his disciple's intention, so he didn't hold back and attacked seriously.
The Catkin Swordsman had seen the young man's explosive growth, and frankly, he was feeling a little pressure himself.
He remembered how weak Alex had been when he'd volunteered to teach him the ways of the sword.
However, after visiting the Clawford Tribe and experiencing the Etherion Domain, the young man's sudden growth spurt made Cairo think that maybe his disciple was actually a genius.
Of course, he wasn't aware that Alex had leveled up several times during the monster stampede because the Clawford Tribe had actually "carried" him, allowing him to gain massive experience points.
