Chapter 37: Battle with Beowulf

"Achilles, young master!" Sadric said helplessly, "You did so well with the two-handed greatsword in the first round, why switch to a single-handed straight sword in the second round? Now we must change your duel arena nickname. How about 'Night Blade'?"

"Okay," Aske replied.

"It's strange. Most people are so picky about their nicknames, fearing they won't sound resounding or imposing. But you, you just don't care, as if reputation means nothing to you." Sadric shook his head in bewilderment and sighed as he walked away. Sigrdrifa, who was sharpening her axe nearby, looked up and smiled:

"That's great. Every time I called you 'Viking,' I got goosebumps."

"How about I give you that name?" Aske said.
