"Silver energy?"

At Sara's words, the other Practitioners of Light looked at Theo.

Billy said,

"Yeah, the sword really shines like silver."

Mike added,

"Wow, the sword and hair color match perfectly... I've got to try that next time. It's cool."

There was no sign of the tension one might expect from a battle.

Theo's companions were so astonished that they could only look at each other's faces.

A bit later, Sara, who had come back to her senses, raised her right hand.

"Stop fighting, everyone. Also, from now on, all hostile actions against Theo Lyn Waldeurk are prohibited."

The other Practitioners expressed their confusion.

"Huh? Sara, what's going on? It's unlike you to revoke an order."

"Yeah? Suddenly, after looking at Theo and saying 'silver energy~', you changed your tune."

Sara closed her eyes and then reopened them.

Her gaze was as clear as someone who had never been drunk on champagne.

The signs of her being slightly drunk were gone.

"Anyway, stop. Put your weapons away."

Billy, fidgeting with the spear in his hand, retorted,

"Since we've drawn our weapons, shouldn't we slice something? My [Saint Spear] is crying! It's been rotting away for over a week."

"Attacking Theo Lyn Waldeurk will be considered an attack on me, so behave accordingly."

"Ah... That's disappointing."

Billy, with a flick of his wrist, spun the heavy spear and then sheathed it.

Although he prioritized his desires above all, he did not believe he could win a sincere fight against Sara.

After Billy put away his weapon, the other Practitioners did the same.

After Theo retracted the energy around his sword, he said to Sara,

"Just moments ago, you were so eager to shed blood. What changed your mind?"Điscover new chapters on n0ve(l)bin(.)com

"A prophecy I heard a while ago came to mind."

"A prophecy?"

"I'll tell you about it privately."

Step by step.

Sara walked towards Theo.

Theo's companions took a defensive stance in unison, but Sara's steps were unwavering.

Stop.

Sara stood in front of Theo. Theo did not take any defensive stance.

Sara bowed her head.

"I'm really sorry for doubting you."

Theo nodded calmly.

"I accept your apology. But what's this prophecy about?"

"Lend me your ear for a moment."

Theo brought his ear close to Sara's mouth.

Seeing this, Billy and Mike jeered.

"Ooh~ Sara, you trash~ Keeping secrets from us, who've been through thick and thin for years, yet you're telling someone you only met today!"

"It's true what they say, a woman is done for once she's married!"

Sara gave them the middle finger in response.

"F*ck off. You guys blabbering all over the place isn't anything new, is it?"

Billy retorted,

"When have we ever? I don't remember."

"Your memory's always been sh*t, capped at a week. Don't you remember screaming 'I am Billy, the practitioner of light!' while beheading the heretic during our last mission?"

"It was part of the performance. Plus, we had killed every living thing in the vicinity by then."

"There could've been eavesdropping or surveillance magic around. You know how sneaky those heretics are. Haven't I always said to stay alert outside the headquarters? Rob was killed because he was tracked back, remember?"

When Sara mentioned the death of the former team leader, Billy fell silent.

Sara whispered in Theo's ear.

"Okay~"

Britney closed her mouth with a natural expression.

Sara continued,

"We know each other's abilities well, but not the abilities of Theo and his companions who have just joined us. We only have a rough idea from the previous battle, but we lack detailed information. So, I want to take some time to show each other our abilities."

Billy and Mike shouted excitedly.

"Oh, yes! Just showing our abilities is boring, so how about we spar?"

"Exactly! True abilities come out in real combat situations!"

They laughed wildly, looking at Piel and Jang Woohee.

"Let's finish the match we couldn't complete earlier!"

"Heeeeeee~!"

Piel and Jang Woohee both looked at Theo at the same time, their eyes asking, "What should we do?"

Theo stood up and positioned himself in front of the two women.

"There's no need for that. Excluding Jang Woohee's information gathering, what you saw earlier is accurate. Both of them need special conditions to truly utilize their abilities. They can't be used for sparring."

Piel and Jang Woohee nodded in agreement.

Piel's bloodline trait, [Gambler], and Jang Woohee's artifact, [Moonflower], with its special effect, cannot be used under normal circumstances.

Theo continued, "What can make the biggest difference is, Sara, your holy spells, and..."

Sara's stern expression softened, and before she knew it, her mouth had curved into a smile.

"...and Siena's spirit magic."

Feeling Theo's gaze, Siena jumped up excitedly.

"Hehe, Theo. You finally recognize me?"

"I've always recognized you. Anyway, Siena, can you show us the power of your spirits now?"

"Umm~ Of course. I can call Swish-swish right away."

"Let's see it then. The power of a high-tier wind spirit."

"Hehe, okay."

Siena muttered something into the air.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Siena, eager to witness the rare power of a spirit mage.

Soon after, Siena announced cheerfully,

"Ta-da~ Swish-swish is right here! Making its appearance."

"?"

Everyone else showed a question mark with their eyes.

Especially Adrienne and Britney, who expressed their doubts more openly.

"Where is the spirit supposed to be? Shouldn't a high-tier one be visible to the naked eye?"

"Oh my, exactly. It's nowhere to be seen around here."

Siena pointed upwards.

"It's up there~ Swish-swish, now!"

As she spoke, a storm surged through the headquarters.

Furniture like bookshelves and tables flew through the air, crashing into walls and floors.

Windows shattered with a loud clang.

People flattened themselves to the floor to avoid being swept away by the storm.

"This... This is!"

"Kyaaa~ My clothes are getting torn~"

After a while, the storm subsided.

Inside the chaotic headquarters, Adrienne and Britney commented,

"Im... Impressive, I guess. Though, bearable."

"Oh my, I'm annoyed. I thought the same. It wasn't as big a deal as I expected. The storm couldn't even tear my clothes!"

Their clothes were torn in places, but only enough to sporadically reveal skin and undergarments.

Siena laughed in response.

"Ever heard the saying, 'A storm hits twice'?"

Right after she finished speaking, whooooosh!

A storm surged through the headquarters again.
