Dav: You all worked hard and did really well.
Now, for the last two weeks, we will focus on magic.
Gabriel: (Raising his hand, he asked) But brother, I don’t know how to use magic...
Dav: (Scratching his ear) Ah... I forgot to tell you that you can use elemental magic, but no more than two spells.
- Silence -
Gabriel: (Shouting) Why didn’t you tell me sooner?!
I can use magic? This is amazing!
Dav: Well, if I had to name your class... it would be Magic Swordsman.
A very rare class, I suppose.
Many people infuse their weapons with their aura, elemental magic, or simply nothing.
Gabriel: I can use aura and infuse my sword with it.
Dav: You’ll have to infuse your magic into your sword and also use it for other defensive and offensive purposes.
Alright, we’ll start in a few days. For now, rest.
(Thinking) While everyone has fun and relaxes, I’ll check my abilities... I wonder how terrible their state is after 10 years...

Dav: I must have gained all this after that raid...
The regeneration from that boss will be really useful with only 3/10 of my power left...
Right now, my body is a wreck... I’m sure even an S-rank could slap me around just fine.
(Thinking) Time Stop?! When and how did I get this ability?!
Wait a second... I might be wrong, but when I was hitting that boss, I felt like my body was taking damage even before I got to him...
Could it be that bastard had this ability too?! Now I understand why he had so much time to regenerate without any issues.
But I suppose my ability and his had different cooldowns and activation times, considering how many times I hit that bastard and how often he regenerated...
I don’t want to think about it anymore, it was a nightmare.
Narrator: A day passed, and everyone had fun playing on the beach, grilling, and eating lots of fish.
They watched the sky together, making many comments about it.
None of them would ever forget that day.
~ 2 days later ~
Dav: Are you ready? Training is about to begin.
First of all, sit down, close your eyes, and hold the weapons I brought for this training.
Gabriel, your sword can contain magic. I infused it with a rune from a very old boss, so there shouldn’t be any issues.
Gabriel: Oh, that’s good! A boss’s rune?!
Wait... There was only one boss in the last 10 years, and much earlier than that...
Uncle, which boss are we talking about?
Dav: (Expression of I don’t care) The trashy little boss I killed 10 years ago.
The runes were given to me as a reward for killing it.
I don’t know their value because back in my day, these things weren’t so rare, and you could find them in magic armament shops.
I had neither the power nor the interest to care about them.
Gabriel: (Shouting, shocked) A pure violet rune that you can barely find anywhere?! Even if you could, it would cost a fortune...
You’re giving it to me?!
Dav: (Meh) If you don’t want it, I’ll take it back.
Gabriel: (Accepted immediately) Thank you, brother! (This rune must be worth hundreds of thousands of euros, and he wants to infuse it into my sword?!
I won’t disappoint him!)
Dav: I can feel that these runes greatly enhance weapons and armor.
Normally, you’d need a Runic Blacksmith to embed it, or else it would just be a waste and get destroyed.
But I made sure to add only 5% of its power temporarily.
One day, I’ll find a good blacksmith and improve your weapons.
Now, focus.
Gabriel, make sure your mana reaches your sword.
Martina, it should be easier for you with a staff.
Same for you, Marco.
~ Shortly after ~
Dav: You’re all doing well.
Gabriel, focus more, follow the mana paths, and reach their end.
Narrator: Inside Gabriel’s mind, many mana paths formed, with several lines guiding him.
From the tip of his sword, a flame appeared until it became a Fireball.
Dav grabbed it in his hands and destroyed it.
Gabriel almost lost control, which would have caused a huge explosion and ruined Dav’s fish.
Dav: It was good, Gabriel, but you need to learn to control it without using all your mana.
Start with 30% and so on.
(Thinking) Martina and Marco are using their magic staffs without any issues and have managed to stabilize their mana... interesting.
Narrator: Gabriel was happy with his progress and kept training over and over again for the remaining two weeks.
~ 2 weeks later ~
Dav: (Happy) Not only have you mastered fire, but also the earth element.
You surprised me, Gabriel! I’m so proud of you!
Of all of you!
(Said with a murderous intent) I suggest you rest, because tomorrow will be your death.
Our duel has arrived.
Narrator: Everyone was terrified by what they heard, but three of them were very sure they would win.
~ The next day ~
Dav: Are you ready?
