-1415- Eisenach-style Magic Twin Sword Art

Rozen's inner peculiarity was naturally imperceptible to the three present.

They were merely steeped in the dejection of their training failure, with even the narcissistic Rico standing with her arms crossed, eyes closed, silent and pensive.

"Well… um, I'm really sorry," Lecty eventually apologized, bowing towards Rozen.

"Why are you apologizing?" Rozen asked curiously.

"Be… because… um, we must have let you down, right?" Lecty said, clearly uncomfortable.

It wasn't just Lecty; even Misora spoke out, sounding utterly defeated.

"After all, we're the weakest squad. No one wants to be our instructor. Even if we're abandoned again, it's only natural. I wouldn't care."

This statement was clearly spoken against her will.

The reason Squad E601 was deemed the weakest wasn't due to a lack of effort.

Ignoring Rico for now, Rozen could tell that both Misora and Lecty were trying their best.

They had mentioned it before, right?

Misora's dream was to become an excellent Magic Swordsman.

Lecty wanted to protect others with her twin swords.

Both had hearts filled with the desire to work hard and get stronger, but due to various reasons, their efforts were in vain.

However, Rozen still wanted to say...

"Whether or not I want to be your instructor aside, let's talk about what Lecty just said. I must tell you, you're very wrong."

Rozen addressed the three.

"Huh?" Misora and Lecty were both taken aback, and even Rico opened her eyes.

In this situation, Rozen cast his gaze upon them.

"Indeed, the problems you have are serious, more so than I imagined. That's a fact," Rozen stated calmly. "But at the same time, you've given me quite a few surprises, showing that you have far more potential than I initially thought. That's also a fact."

Misora, Lecty, and Rico exchanged puzzled glances.

Potential?

What did that mean?

Without letting them ponder too long, Rozen provided the answer.

"For instance, Rico, while your personality may have issues, you are far more intelligent and talented than others. Despite becoming impulsive during training and suffering several hits, you quickly realized your mistake and calmed down, continuing your sniping. Isn't that correct?"

Rozen addressed Rico.

"You noticed?" Rico seemed surprised.

This confirmed that Rozen's words were accurate.

"You mentioned your theoretical scores were A, equal to your combat scores, which proves your intellect is quite agile. Coupled with your impeccable sniping skills, you had the fewest flaws among the squad during training."

Rozen gave this assessment.

"Is… is that so?" Rico seemed shy for a moment but quickly regained her composure. "Well, I've always been perfect. After all, I am a goddess," she boasted.

Rico's narcissism persisted, ignoring the minor flaws Rozen pointed out, declaring herself perfect.

Rozen then turned to Misora.

"Next, Misora. Your situation is the complete opposite of Rico's. You lack talent and intelligence, acting on impulse. Your swordsmanship is terrible, and your artillery skills are poor. During combat, you don't think and get led by the nose by the unprovoking mud puppets, which shows your impulsiveness. Against a composed opponent, even with superior strength, you would lose. Hence, you had the most flaws during training."

Rozen's unreserved critique made Misora lower her head and bite her lip.

In truth, Misora should be well aware of her issues after 134 defeats.

Still…

"Your strengths are just as apparent," Rozen noted, focusing on Misora. "Did you notice that despite being the worst off after training, you still have considerable stamina and your mana reserves are full?"

"This…" Misora was taken aback.

Lecty and Rico also noticed at this point.

"Yeah, Misora, you went through such intense exercise but only ended up panting. If it were me, I'd have collapsed."

"Yeah, Misora is like an athlete. In other words, a stamina freak."

Lecty and Rico nodded in agreement.

"Who are you calling a stamina freak!?" Misora protested vehemently.

But the rough truth remained, which was Misora's strength.

"Your endurance is exceptional, and your stamina is rare even among Sky Wizards. Especially your mana capacity; I found it to be above A-grade. In Mistgun, there are likely fewer than three people, myself included, with greater mana than you."

Rozen continued, "If you switch from a frontline Magic Swordsman to a midline Magic Artilleryman, you could maximize your mana usage. Your artillery might become the strongest after Nirvana. That's your potential."

This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Rozen's interest in Squad E601 was initially due to two individuals who caught his attention.

In other words, there was a third person Rozen hadn't initially noticed.

That person was Misora.

Given this, Misora's potential truly surprised Rozen.

However…

"Magic Artilleryman…" Misora's face turned grim instead of pleased by Rozen's evaluation.

"Misora?"

"Misora?"

Seeing this, Lecty and Rico were puzzled.

Rozen glanced deeply at Misora before seemingly ignoring her and turning to Lecty.

"Finally, Lecty."

Rozen looked at Lecty, his eyes flashing before he smiled.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be an Eisenach-style Magic Swordsman, right?"

Upon hearing this…

"You… you know me?" Lecty was shocked.

"Eisenach-style?" Misora and Rico tilted their heads in confusion.

Rozen explained.

"The Eisenach-style refers to a school of Magic Swordsmanship founded by the Sword Master, Albert Eisenach. Known as the world's strongest Magic Swordsmanship, it is famed for its speed and agility. It is well-known in the industry, headquartered in the floating city of Oichis. The doctrine is to surpass human limits, highly esteeming personal strength and venerating the strong. Only highly trained experts can bear the Eisenach name. Conversely, even family members who lack the requisite strength are expelled, making it extremely stringent."

Rozen's words reached everyone's ears clearly, leaving them astonished one by one.
