Rian's party left the abode of the shaman Karg and headed for Altechna. Their journey to find a clue to break the curse of the Ancients was entering a new phase. As the city of Altechna drew near, Rian's resolve to become stronger solidified.
Rian: "This time, we have to gain something in Altechna. What we need isn't just knowledge, but the power to make it a reality."
Ria: "That's right, brother. Since we need to get stronger, let's learn everything we can here."
As the gates of Altechna opened, a familiar sight greeted Rian's party. King Alexander and his brother Lucas welcomed them warmly, waving their hands. Lucas was still recovering from the injuries he had sustained in the recent battle, but he smiled brightly at the party.
Alexander: "Master Rian, it has been a while! I am glad to see you have all made it here safely."
Lucas: "Brother, Rian's party looks as strong as ever. I wish I could do more to help, but it's a shame I have to stay like this for now."
Rian gave Lucas a small smile.
Rian: "Lucas, don't push yourself. Just rest well. You've already helped us so much, and that was more than enough. Your recovery comes first."
Lucas: "I understand, Rian. But I'm always ready to help. I'll do my best to make sure you find what you need in Altechna."
Rian approached Alexander, greeted him politely, and briefly explained their journey so far. He informed the king that they had come to break the curse of the Ancients and expressed his desire to be mentored by a strong warrior.
Rian: "Your Majesty Alexander, what we need most on this journey is guidance from a powerful warrior. We need someone who can teach us the skills and wisdom of combat so that we can become stronger."
Alexander paused in thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
Alexander: "If you wish to find the most powerful warrior in Altechna, then you must meet Edward. He is a Magic Swordsman, a warrior who has perfectly harmonized combat and magic. Many warriors have tried to master both magic and swordsmanship at the same time and failed, but Edward, through long training and real combat experience, has been reborn as a true Magic Swordsman."
Ria: "Your Majesty, a man like Sir Edward would be a great help to us. Brother, let's go meet him."
Rian: "I understand. We will go to meet Sir Edward. Thank you for the introduction, Your Majesty Alexander."
Alexander: "Do not worry. Edward is instructing young warriors at Altechna's training grounds. If you meet him, you will surely learn a great deal."
Alexander guided Rian's party to the training grounds where Edward was. The grounds were filled with a wide courtyard and various training equipment, and young warriors were engrossed in their training everywhere. Among them, one man stood out. Tall and slender, with a sharp gaze—it was Edward. A blue magical light flickered at the tip of his sword, illuminating his surroundings.
Alexander: "Edward, this is Master Rian and his companions. They are on a journey to break the curse of the Ancients and wish for your help."
Edward smiled at Rian's party. He met Rian's eyes and nodded.
Edward: "A pleasure to meet you, young Lord Rian. I hear that you wish to become stronger here in Altechna. If there is anything you wish to learn from me, please do not hesitate to ask."
Rian looked into Edward's eyes, his resolve hardening.
Rian: "Sir Edward, I wish to learn more than simple swordsmanship. I want to learn the harmony of magic and the sword. Please, teach me that path."
Edward heard Rian's decision and smiled with satisfaction.
Edward: "Very well. The path of the Magic Swordsman is not an easy one, but if you have a strong enough will, Lord Rian, you can achieve anything. Let us begin our training together starting today."
A short while later, as Edward was speaking with Rian's party, he seemed to pause, a thoughtful look on his face.
Edward: "Actually, I have spent time with your parents before. With King Merslin and Queen Elena, that is."
Rian and Ria looked surprised.
Ria: "Really? You were with our parents?"
Edward: "Yes, they were truly wonderful people. King Merslin was respected by many for his experience and wisdom on the battlefield at the time, and Queen Elena achieved a marvelous harmony of magic and tactics. I learned a great deal while training with them."
Rian was surprised by Edward's words, but his expression was also one of deep gratitude.
Rian: "So my parents were also excellent warriors and leaders. It is an honor for us to be able to learn from you now, Sir Edward. This connection to our parents will be a great source of strength for us."
Edward: "Indeed. Your parents were truly remarkable. Just as I learned from them, I hope I can pass on many things to you as well."
Edward gave Rian's party an even warmer smile.
Edward: "Then, based on the strength and wisdom your parents taught you, let us open a new path of combat together."
Rian's party began their training under Edward's guidance. Edward taught Rian how to achieve harmony between magic and swordsmanship, emphasizing mental discipline and focus beyond simple technique. Through his training with Edward, Rian sensed new possibilities in combat and gained the conviction that he could become stronger.
Edward: "Lord Rian, a Magic Swordsman unleashes their greatest power in the harmony of magic and the sword. You, too, will be able to draw this power from deep within yourself."
Rian: "Yes, Sir Edward. I will not give up. I will definitely become stronger!"
Ria, Marielle, and Brunok also watched Edward's training, vowing to grow alongside Rian. Through their training in Altechna, they prepared to break the curse of the Ancients and be reborn as a stronger team.
Rian: "Everyone, let's do our best together. With Sir Edward, I'm sure we can do it!"
Ria: "That's right, brother. We'll be with you."
Marielle: "The divine will watch over us. Do not be afraid."
Brunok: "Alright, everyone. Let's start growing with Sir Edward, too!"
Rian's party continued their training with Edward to gain new strength and knowledge in Altechna. Their journey was now filled with the challenge of attaining more powerful combat abilities.

Episode 38: Coordinated Training in Altechna
The Altechnan training grounds seemed to gain a vibrant energy from the morning sun as Rian's party began their training with Edward. The wide courtyard of the training grounds was arranged with various combat training apparatus and practice targets, and there, under Edward's guidance, the party was practicing coordinated attacks.
Edward stood before the group, swinging his sword as he surveyed the area.
Edward: "Alright, let's begin the coordinated attack practice. Coordinated attacks aren't just about fighting together; it's about understanding each other's movements and achieving harmony. Clarifying your roles and honing your split-second decision-making is key."
Rian, Ria, Marielle, and Brunok finished their preparations and stood at their respective positions. Edward explained the tactics to teach them how to harmonize their attacks through teamwork.
Edward: "Rian and Ria will use their respective magic and swordsmanship to subdue the enemy. Marielle will handle healing, supplementary attacks, and defense, reacting to the situation as needed. Brunok will be in charge of defense and repelling enemies. Fulfill your roles well and complement each other's attacks."
Rian: "Yes, Sir Edward. We are ready."
Ria met Rian's eyes and nodded. Marielle and Brunok also completed their preparations for their roles. Edward waved his hand, signaling the start of the training.
Edward: "Begin!"
Rian and Ria moved instantly. Rian's powerful swordsmanship was swift, his swung blade seeming to fly through the air like lightning. While his sword, emitting a blue magical light, suppressed the enemy's attack, Ria pierced the enemy's weak points with a sharp volley of magical attacks.
Ria: "Rian, I'm breaking through on the left!"
Rian: "Got it, Ria!"
Rian and Ria matched each other's attack timing. As Rian delivered a powerful slash, Ria followed up, momentarily subduing the enemy with her magic. The two's coordinated attack was in perfect harmony, breaking down the enemy's defense.
Marielle watched the situation carefully, performing a supportive role as needed. She cast a defensive veil to block enemy attacks and fired a swift energy orb to assist the offense, suppressing the enemy's movements. Furthermore, she maintained the flow of battle by restoring Rian and Ria's stamina at crucial moments.
Marielle: "Rian, I'll block the attack coming from the rear!"
Rian reacted instantly to Marielle's warning, blocking the enemy's attack with his sword while safely moving behind the barrier Marielle had created.
Brunok blocked the enemy's attacks, protecting Rian and Ria with a strong defense. He ensured no attacks got past him, making the most of Marielle's supplementary attacks and defense.
Brunok: "Rian, you need to block the attack from the right!"
Rian reacted immediately to Brunok's warning and blocked the attack with his sword, and in that opening, Ria brought down the enemy's defense with her magic.
Edward watched the entire process with a satisfied expression. When the training was over, he approached the team.
Edward: "Very good. You all clearly understood your roles and executed the coordinated attack well, demonstrating excellent split-second judgment. Marielle's supplementary attacks and defense were also superb. Continue to build better teamwork through this kind of practice."
Rian: "Thank you, Sir Edward. I learned a great deal through this practice."
Ria: "It was a great help for us, too. We'll continue to work hard."
Marielle: "Sir Edward, I felt that I could provide supplementary attacks and defense according to the situation. I will strive to do even better in the future."
Brunok: "That was good practice. Let's keep working together like this."
Praised by Edward, Rian's party further strengthened their teamwork and combat skills through the coordinated attack practice. They gained confidence for the battles ahead and prepared to be reborn as a stronger team.
The coordinated attack practice continued at the Altechnan training grounds. Rian's party practiced their skills under Edward's guidance, clarifying each other's roles. The main objective of this practice was to further enhance their flexibility in battle through the coordination of the twins, Rian and Ria.
Edward observed the flow of the training, emphasizing the importance of teamwork.
Edward: "Since Rian and Ria understand each other's abilities well, this time, try to create a scene where Rian approaches or evades an enemy in mid-air by utilizing Ria's magic."
Rian and Ria met each other's gaze and began the practice. Ria raised her hand and cast an ice spell into the air. Her magic formed a cold plate of ice in the air, and Rian stepped on it to leap into the sky. His movements on the ice plate were stable and fast, and he glided as if flying to approach the enemy.
Rian: "Ria, make the ice plate a little wider now!"
Ria immediately widened the range of the ice plate, helping Rian get closer to the enemy. Rian stepped on the plate and quickly closed in, swinging his sword. His attack broke through the enemy's defense and landed a powerful blow.
Rian: "Alright, now evade!"
Anticipating the enemy's counterattack, Rian jumped off the ice plate again and shot into the air, and the enemy's attack cut through empty space. After evading in the air, Rian landed and resumed his attack stance.
Ria: "Rian, there's enemy support on the left!"
Rian reacted instantly to Ria's warning, ignoring the enemy support in the air and moving quickly. His attack pierced the enemy's weak point, and Ria's ice magic restricted the enemy's movements.
Marielle watched as Ria's ice magic assisted Rian's attack and swiftly performed her own role. She defended against enemy attacks and cast healing magic at the necessary moments, supporting her teammates.
Marielle: "Rian, Ria, I'll weaken the enemy's defense on the left!"
Marielle's healing and defensive magic gave the team a sense of stability, and based on that, Rian and Ria cooperated even more actively. Brunok blocked enemy attacks, supporting their joint assault.
Brunok: "Rian, Ria, let's take care of the enemy in the center!"
Following Brunok's instruction, Rian and Ria focused their attack on the central enemy, breaking down its defense through a harmony of ice magic and swordsmanship.
Edward watched the entire process with a satisfied expression.
Edward: "Very well done. Rian and Ria's coordination was in perfect harmony, and Marielle's support and Brunok's defense were also excellent. Continue to develop this kind of teamwork."
Rian: "Thank you, Sir Edward. I felt how much more important coordination with Ria is."
Ria: "We also learned a great deal in this practice. We'll continue to do our best."
Marielle: "I deeply felt the importance of teamwork and support. I will work harder."
Brunok: "That was good practice. Let's continue to cooperate and grow."
The coordinated attack practice continued at the Altechnan training grounds. Edward was leading the training, emphasizing the importance of teamwork. In this practice, not only Rian and Ria's coordination but also the cooperation between Marielle and Brunok was an important part.
Edward explained the objective of the practice to the team members.
Edward: "Today, we will practice having each team member perfectly understand each other's roles and cooperate to defeat the enemy. Marielle and Brunok, work together to defend against enemy attacks and try to utilize Silverfang's abilities."
Brunok summoned his animal companion, Silverfang, from one side of the training grounds. Silverfang was a mystical animal with a harmony of black and silver fur, known for its agile and intelligent behavior.
Brunok: "Silverfang, you ready? Today's the day to show them our teamwork."
Silverfang quietly nodded as if in response to Brunok's words. Brunok followed Silverfang and prepared alongside Marielle.
Rian and Ria had already spread an ice plate in the air and were ready to begin training. Marielle gathered her magical power and created a defensive barrier, blocking the enemy's attacks.
Marielle: "Brunok, Silverfang, an enemy is approaching from the right. Get ready!"
Brunok signaled to Silverfang and moved swiftly in the direction of the approaching enemy. Silverfang followed the signal, predicted the enemy's direction, and quickly closed in. Silverfang nimbly evaded the enemy's attack and left a deep gouge at the enemy's feet.
In that opening, while Marielle blocked the enemy's attack with her barrier, Brunok took out his firearm and began to snipe the enemy from a distance. With precise aim and rapid firing, Brunok brought down the enemy's defense, providing crucial support to his teammates. Silverfang hindered the enemy's attacks, helping Rian to approach the enemy more effectively.
Rian: "Marielle, strengthen the barrier!"
Marielle responded immediately to Rian's request and strengthened the barrier. While she was defending, she used her magical power to provide further support to Brunok and Silverfang. Silverfang accurately analyzed and evaded the enemy's attacks, providing Brunok with opportunities to strike.
Brunok: "Silverfang, draw that enemy's attention over there!"
Following Brunok's command, Silverfang moved nimbly to divert the enemy's gaze. At that moment, Rian stepped on Ria's ice plate, approached the enemy, and swung his sword powerfully. Rian's attack broke through the enemy's defense and inflicted a heavy blow.
Ria helped Rian approach the enemy with the ice plate, and at the same time, she anticipated the enemy's attacks and froze the ground beneath their feet with ice to hinder their movement.
Ria: "Rian, the enemy's defense over there has weakened. Attack now!"
Following Ria's instruction, Rian pierced the enemy's weak point and delivered a powerful attack. Thanks to Marielle's barrier, Rian and Ria were able to safely evade the enemy's counterattack.
Brunok: "Silverfang, now take care of the enemy in the center!"
Following Brunok's command, Silverfang focused its attack on the central enemy, breaking down its defense. Marielle's healing and defensive magic helped the team maintain peak condition, and Rian and Ria, through their coordination, broke through the enemy's defense and landed powerful blows.
Edward watched the entire process with a pleased smile.
Edward: "Very well done. The cooperation between Marielle and Brunok, Silverfang's abilities, and the perfect harmony of Rian and Ria were excellent. You have clearly shown what teamwork is."
Rian: "Thank you, Sir Edward. I learned a great deal thanks to Marielle and Brunok's cooperation."
Marielle: "Cooperating with Brunok and Silverfang was a very important experience. I will continue to practice."
Brunok: "Silverfang also provided excellent support. This joint practice was a great help."
Under Edward's guidance, Rian's party further strengthened their teamwork and combat abilities through the coordinated attack practice. They understood each other's roles and finished their preparations to face future challenges through efficient cooperation.
