Trouble II

"You're looking for Stella? That female swordmaster?"

"Swordmaster?" Jillian looked doubtful at the guard that she questioned. 

Although swordmaster wasn't an official title, only people with significant accomplishments in Sword Arts can be called with such great esteem.

'Hmph… These people had never seen a real sword art… I must be patient…'

The guard saw Jillian's surprised look so he continued...

"Yes… She's really incredible with her skills. I must remind you that she's only using a unique wooden sword to kill those evil cultists… Isn't that amazing?" 

The guard proudly shared the information. He felt proud being in the same village with such a great swordmaster.

"I heard about that… But is it really a wooden sword and not painted to look like one?"

"What? Of course not… I even have an idea what kind of wood she was using… Hehehe…"

The guard said as he smirked at the girl in front of him.
