[Bonus chapter] Reaching the Highest State of Swordsmanship

"I-i..."

Rin felt uncomfortable for some reason.

Rin could feel her arms bulging which caused her to feel a stabbing sensation around her shoulders and the pain slowly became unbearable.

'Shit.'

Darius cursed as he remembered something which had left his mind.

Just like how a person asking for his glasses sometimes forgets that he is already wearing them, Darius was the same.

He was SO sure that his plan to punish the student through Rin would succeed that he became shortsighted and didn't even think to care about the consequences that could happen to Rin in case his mana would be left behind in her arms, unused.

Darius hurriedly went on his knees as he held Rin's shoulder and looked her in the eyes.

"Little girl, I am sorry."

Darius apologized for what he had done to her but he didn't have the time to explain to Rin about the plot he had cooked.
