Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent

"How about we spar for a bit? Of course, we are not allowed to use mana." Alaric wanted to take the chance to use this guy as his training dummy. It was rare to find a good sparring partner like this since the Elite Knights of the household were always busy with their respective tasks.

"Are you serious, my lord?" He thought that he had heard Alaric wrong. After all, he was an Elite Knight so he was inherently stronger than Alaric. Even without using his mana, he was confident that he could beat anyone below the realm of Elite Knights. This wasn't baseless overconfidence, but the belief he had in his abilities.

After choosing two wooden swords, Alaric tossed the other one to Roland who caught it reflexively.
