"I had my doubts, but the fight with that boar proved it," Riley said eating a piece of apple.

"What?" Osmond was confused.

"That blade of yours... What was it called...?"

"Nightblade," Osmond said straightening his back.

"Nightblade... Whatever, that is a channel blade," Riley chopped some pieces of apple onto a plate and brought it towards Osmond.

"Channel blade?"

"Well, it takes your zest and converts it into your element of affinity. The affinity of the blade and the user should match, so I guess you were lucky," Riley sat back in his seat.

Osmond searched for his blade, Riley pointed to the desk and he saw his blade was placed there.

"We will leave after you get better. Don't want you falling on the road," Riley said.

It took a day for Osmond to recover. Food for him on that day was served in the room by a maid. She nodded and smiled graciously each time she saw Osmond.
