Sam walked back and forth in the reception room twice, thought for a moment, and said: "It seems we have to find another place to live."
"Garcia, keep assigning people to monitor the mansion over at Reinâs place."
"Okay, leader. Right... thereâs another thing, Rein moved houses." Garcia suddenly remembered something and said.
"Hmm? Moved house?" Sam raised his brow and looked at Garcia.
"Yes, Iâve personally checked it. The original mansion is already vacant. Currently, heâs moved to a new mansion in the Noble district, lavishly decorated, and roughly at the Earl level."
Garcia didnât clearly express this point earlier because Rein and the Elf Girl werenât present, whether actions should proceed was unknown, so it naturally didnât need to be reported.
"Noble district? Thatâs a bit troublesome, higher defense level than the administrative district." The burly bald man touched his chin and said.
"Not a big issue, Garcia, you go investigate the patrol frequency and defense strength of the Noble districtâs guards, and calculate the time we have to act." Sam thought slightly and said.
"As you command, sir."
"Esteban, youâre responsible for arranging the evacuation route after the mission is completed, remember to prepare the decoy personnel and mounts in advance."
"Alright, boss." A tall and thin team member nodded and agreed readily.
...
-----------------
Meister.
At the Earl Habs Mansion, in the training room on the first floor.
"Evelyn, are you interested in practicing swordsmanship with me?" Cleya smiled and said.
This immediately made Evelyn pause in surprise!
Does this mean Iâm shielding Anna from trouble?
Leader, you better compensate me afterwards!
Only to see Evelyn glance at her somewhat surprised team captain Rein and thought for a moment, helplessly nodded and said:
"Miss Cleya, the captain says youâre a Great Knight, but Iâm merely a Peak Knight, hope youâll go easy on me."
"Cough..." Rein also noticed something amiss and coughed.
Just as he was about to speak, Cleya suddenly smiled and said:
"Just kidding, Evelyn, youâre so pretty, if I accidentally hurt you, your captain would be devastated."
Cleya teased while looking sideways at Rein.
"For sparring, naturally Iâd practice with your tough-skinned captain."
Rein felt relieved hearing Cleya say this.
He instantly understood Cleyaâs intent.
Look, I know about your red-haired beauty affair, but Iâll give you face, I wonât embarrass her, though my status is higher than hers.
"Of course, Cleya, let me be your sparring partner then."
Meanwhile, Anna stood to the side, watching the scene with sparkling eyes, unsure what she was thinking.
Actually, seeing such a beautiful female team member in Reinâs squad inevitably stirred some jealousy in her heart.
However, such matters are quite common among nobles, and Cleya, who was exposed to it from a young age, knows well how to position herself, but necessary displays of her wings are also essential.
Thatâs why she made the above gesture.
Only to see Cleya hold the Dual-Handed Greatsword diagonally and stand in the center of the field; the next second, a green airflow swirled around her slender legs.
"Oh? A Bloodline Talent Ability?" Remiel, watching on the side, exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, itâs a talent ability that enhances speed." Neoro nodded and corroborated.
This incredibly fast Great Knight also poses a headache for Wizards and Wizard Apprentices.
"Swish!"
Only to see Cleya darting towards Rein like a leopardess, the Greatsword slashing down from above, incredibly swift.
Rein calmly swung his wand to block.
But upon contact, Rein felt Cleyaâs strength and speed slightly enhanced compared to yesterday.
"Clang clang bang bang!"
As they both moved extremely fast, sparks flew with the ringing clash of the Greatsword blade and Hardened Gold Wand, seemingly endless.
Vaguely, with each clash, one could see a circle of white airwaves streaming outward.
Usually, before one wave fully dissipates, another explodes behind it, at the same time, multiple white rings of airwaves often appear above the field.
These waves trace the movements of both.
Making the originally blurred shapes of their high-speed movement relatively clear in trajectory.
Rein could clearly feel Cleyaâs enhancement in capability.
Though heâs not sure why exactly?
Is it because Cleyaâs Bloodline has been activated, stepping into a period of rapid growth?
Or is it because she saw Evelyn sparring with him, feeling a bit unhappy?
It couldnât possibly be that since they did the thing yesterday, it unlocked Cleyaâs Bloodline potential, right?
Rein shook his head slightly, casting the thought aside.
Regardless, he had to give way to this future Countess he just shared intimacy with.
Thatâs why Rein focused solely on defense, fortunately, the Extraordinary Battle Technique âRockdiloâs Guardian Staffâ he practiced favors defense.
Several minutes later.
"Clang!!!"
The two clashed heavily and bounced apart.
Cleyaâs chest rose and fell continuously, evidently, the recent burst was taxing even for her newly awakened Bloodline as a Great Knight.
But this sight left Reinâs teammates watching dumbfounded.
