Genius?

During the night, Dimitri was opening his eyes, waking up from his nap. Since he and Noel camped outside the city, they took turns being on the lookout. And this time, Noel was supposed to be watching the surroundings.

But when he took a look around, he noticed Noel had disappeared.

"Mhm?" Dimitri was confused. He thought Noel was slipping away to pee, but he felt the sound of someone swinging his sword.

Dimitri knew whose swing it belonged without even going there. He had seen everything in the past year, so he knew Noel would still be swinging his sword at a time like this.

Though, he never knew the reason why Noel worked this hard.

In his mind, Noel's growth was unprecedented. From a complete newbie, who never wielded a sword and searched for information about spirit, to becoming a Spirit Wielder. It was beyond Anna's growth.
