Waking up early, the familiar sound of the horn blared once more.
Still hungover, Gars opened his eyes from the bed and turned to see Liens already holding a longsword, practicing the swordsmanship from his so-called "Basic Swordsmanship Explanation."
Seeing Liens up so early to practice his sword, Gars remembered how he had called him lazy yesterday.
Compared to himself, still lounging in bed, he instantly felt a bit embarrassed.
"Morning, Heier."
Gars got up and greeted Liens.
"Good morning, Gars."
Liens nodded in response, then continued practicing his sword.
He hadn't won a single time in last night's instance.
Although he had made progress in his swordsmanship and even comprehended "Killing Intent," Lucrezia's stat boost from using magic was too significant.
The fundamental gap in their power left him with no hope of victory for now.
This reminded him of his time in the Training Camp, where he felt the same way when facing the instructors.
