Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the dojo.

Everyone was left standing there, dumbfounded.

Only after her figure had completely disappeared did someone complain indignantly, "Young Master Boris has invited her so many times, but she never gives him any face! I think this little wench doesn't take Young Master Boris seriously at all!"

"Shameless thing!"

"Okay, shut up!"

Boris's rebuke silenced everyone's argument.

He stared in the direction Liz had gone, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"A swordsmanship genius? So what?"

"In the end, she's just a commoner with a bit of talent. I'll make her understand during tomorrow's training session that commoners can never defy nobles!"

"let's go!"

With that, Boris waved his hand and led the group away.

……

After everyone leaves.

Ars slowly emerged from the corner, his gaze toward Boris shifting between light and shadow.

I originally just planned to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Liz.

did not expect……

You've come at just the right time.

Side Story: The Tale of Ars (20)

Early the next morning.

Wolf, who was in charge of leading the team, led the group of people who were trying to save their lives to the training camp.

The so-called training ground was a private forest located on the outskirts of the capital.

This forest belongs to the Asura royal family, and ordinary people are not even qualified to enter it. However, the Water God Flow Dojo holds a transcendent status in the Asura Kingdom, so the royal family has granted special permission to use this forest as a training ground once a year.

Liz observed the group with great interest.

In total, including myself and Leica, there were about a dozen people.

To Liz's surprise, Boris was also there.

Normally, Boris would avoid training camps like this if he could, so he actually took the initiative to participate this time.

However, Liz didn't care.

She scanned the group but couldn't find Ars, and for some reason felt a little disappointed.

But that's normal, since Ars's swordsmanship level is only lower level, at most not even intermediate level.

It's too much of a stretch for someone with this level of swordsmanship to participate in intensive training.

Moreover……

Whether or not that guy Yars comes or not has nothing to do with me.

……

After arriving at the training camp location.

Warif distributed the badges to everyone, one for each person, no more and no less.

"This forest where we are conducting our training camp belongs to the royal family of the Kingdom of Asura. To enter, you must possess this badge; otherwise, the knights guarding the forest will not allow you in," Warif solemnly instructed. "This badge must not be lost. Only by returning the badge can you be considered to have arrived. Do you understand?"

"Understood," everyone replied in unison.

"We crossed the entire forest from the north side and then reached the south side."

Wolf raised his voice and said, "There are a few D-rank monsters in the forest. Your task is to evade these monsters while crossing the entire forest. The earlier you arrive, the better your results will be."

"The winner will receive a chance to be mentored by the Water Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, the people who had come to participate in the training camp immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"The Water Emperor?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, is this true?"

"To actually receive guidance from the Water Emperor?"

"No, no, no... Speaking of which, does our dojo really have a Water Emperor?"

The crowd hushed up and whispered amongst themselves.

Water Emperor.

This title signifies that one's achievements on the path of the Water God School are second only to those of the Water God.

In reality, the highest-level swordsmanship instructors in the Asura Kingdom's dojos are only at the Water King level.

Of course, the Water God must be excluded.

Even Liz's eyes lit up.

Water Emperor level...

If I could get guidance from a master of that level, my swordsmanship would definitely improve to a higher level, right?

Someone excitedly asked, "Teacher Warif, does our dojo have a Water Emperor?"

"No, there isn't."

Warif shook his head.

"However, a Water Emperor-level swordsman happens to be coming to the capital soon."

Everyone was surprised.

That's a Water Emperor level...

They are among the rarest beings in the entire world, and to be able to see them in person is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Suddenly, many people who had originally intended to just go through the motions became motivated.

Liz, needless to say.

She would never miss the opportunity to receive personal guidance from the Water Emperor!

"I am the undisputed winner of this training camp."

Liz thought to herself.

……

The entrance to the forest was heavily guarded by knights.

After arriving at the entrance, the group handed their badges to the knight before being allowed to enter.

The forest covers an area of ​​about 20,000 mu, and a river runs through the middle of the forest.

"Everyone in his place."

Before we began, Warif gave us a final reminder.

"There are monsters in the forest. Although they are only D-rank, they are still a great threat to swordsmen. Don't be careless."

"If you want to pass smoothly, it's best to work in a team."

"Alright, the training camp shall now begin!"

The instant Warif finished speaking.

Several figures immediately rushed out.

The opportunity to receive guidance from a Water Emperor-level swordsman is extremely rare, and almost everyone is eager to seize it, putting in their best effort.

“Leica, let’s go too,” Liz said.

"Ok!"

Lyca nodded and followed Liz as they hurried into the forest.

All the swordsmen of the Water God School wear heavy armor, without exception; this is the most basic tactic of the Water God School.

Therefore.

For most Water God Swordsmen, long journeys are an extremely challenging task.

Of course, the training camp did not stipulate that participants had to wear armor, so they could remove their armor and proceed lightly.

But that would mean facing dangerous monsters in the forest.

Although it's only a D-rank magical beast.

However, most people have no experience dealing with monsters and dare not be careless because of this.

Of course, some people are skilled and daring, confident that they can cross over even without armor.

For example, Liz.

As soon as they entered the forest, she immediately pulled Lyca to a spot and took off her armor.

After changing out of her armor, Liz immediately felt much lighter.

“Very good.” Liz’s lips curled up slightly.

Next, all you need to do is get to the south side of the forest before everyone else.

"Let's go, Leica."

"Ok!"

Leica nodded somewhat absentmindedly.

The two quickened their pace and hurried south.

It's easy to get lost in the forest.
