38Are you kidnapping?

Such an apprenticeship would be fine if it were someone who spent a lot of time together. But she and Lane had only met a few times!

This time, even Ivette's maid couldn't hold back: "You..."

"I just want to ask you how to become a Magic Swordsman. It's not to the extent of becoming an apprentice."

Ivette spoke calmly and interrupted her maid: "Except for becoming an apprentice, you can propose other conditions. I will do my best."

"I'm not interested in other conditions. I won't teach this kind of thing to someone who has a bad relationship with me."

Lane smiled faintly: "Swear by the Knight's Oath and become my apprentice. I will not only teach you the knowledge related to Magic Swordsmen but also train you to become the leading Magic Swordsman in the Hedley Empire!"

"..."

If someone else said such words, Ivette would definitely think it was bragging.

If you have this ability, why don't you go to the palace and linger in an earl's house?

But these words came from Lane, making Ivette subconsciously choose to believe.

But the price of becoming an apprentice by the Knight's Oath...

"I still need to ask my father about this..."

"Then you can go and ask as much as you want."

Lane grinned: "I said this just on a whim. When you come back after asking your father, I might change my mind."

Ivette: "..."

Ivette suddenly fell silent.

Nanali, who was silently observing all of this on the side, suddenly felt that Lane was being so bad at this moment, just like kidnapping a little girl...

Seeing that Ivette remained silent, Lane wasn't in a hurry and waited quietly for Ivette's response.

From Ivette's eyes just now, Lane could tell enough that Ivette would definitely agree.

The reason why he wanted to take Ivette as an apprentice wasn't really on a whim as he said. Instead, he suddenly saw something different in Ivette's eyes.

Sure enough, after being silent for a while, Ivette took a deep breath, leaned on her long sword, and knelt on one knee in front of Lane:

"I, Ivette Odice, swear by the Knight's Oath here. I am willing to aim to become the leading Magic Swordsman of the Hedley Empire and become Lane's apprentice. I will regard him as my father and never betray. If I violate this oath, I will be ashamed of the glory of the knights of my ancestors and will no longer bear the name of knight for thousands of generations. I will use this sword to commit suicide."

Every word was gritted out by Ivette, but at the same time, it was extremely resolute.

Lane smiled faintly, stepped forward, and reached out his hand to Ivette:

"Good. Now you are my first disciple." The apprenticeship by the Knight's Oath was two-way. Since Lane chose to take Ivette as his disciple, he must fulfill the responsibility of a master and not betray.

When Lane finished speaking, the two could obviously feel an extra connection with each other in their hearts, a kind of indescribable strangeness.

Ivette didn't take the hand Lane reached out but stood up heavily and looked at Lane with complicated eyes.

I went out once and recognized a godfather who was only thirteen years older than me. And we haven't met many times. I don't know how to explain to my father when I go back...

Originally, I planned to draw Lane to my Odice family. But I ended up involving myself. What kind of thing is this?

However, what Ivette was sure of was that this cheap godfather would definitely teach her many useful things. Otherwise, Ivette wouldn't have become an apprentice like this.

Because in the swordsmanship arena, Ivette had witnessed the scene where Lane confronted that Demon attendant.

The identity of that Demon attendant might not be clear to others, but Ivette did have a relatively in-depth investigation using her family's power and found some clues about that Demon attendant...

Coupled with the methods Lane showed when he was substituting for the class, if it was about making her the leading Magic Swordsman, she naturally had no doubt.

Not to mention, making her the leading Magic Swordsman of the Hedley Empire was also included in the Knight's Oath. Since Lane accepted her apprenticeship, he would risk his life to train her to that position.

"Please come in."

Lane smiled faintly and returned to the yard of the mansion. Ivette looked at the ground and followed silently.

"Nanali, take a rest first. After I guide my disciple, I will continue to teach you to practice swordsmanship."

"... Okay."

Nanali was also somewhat stunned. In her opinion, Lane's acceptance of a disciple was a bit... too hasty.

And Ivette's apprenticeship was also a bit too hasty...

One dared to accept, and the other dared to become an apprentice. They were really two strange ones.

"You should know that the Magic Swordsman is the most difficult profession among all magic professions to achieve. If you succeed, its combat power is among the best among all magic Professions. But if you are not careful, you will become disabled."

Looking at the silent Ivette, Lane said:

"Of course, with me here, you will definitely not become disabled. As long as you are willing to endure the pain during the process of becoming a Magic Swordsman, you will surely succeed."

"I understand."

Ivette nodded vigorously: "Can we start now?"

"Sure."

Lane pointed to the Knight's long sword in Ivette's hand: "Can you swing this sword?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now, use this sword and do your best to fight with me."

Lane smiled faintly and picked up the sword at his waist, still not unsheathed: "You can't stop until you can't stand up at all."

"..."

Seeing this on the side, Nanali opened her small mouth and wanted to say something but stopped.

What are you doing again? Bullying a nine-year-old child?

As for Ivette, after hearing Lane's words, she silently drew the Knight's long sword from the scabbard. Against her petite figure, that Knight's long sword was like a great sword.

"I'm coming... Master."

"Please."

As Lane's words fell, Ivette quickly stepped forward, her figure extremely vigorous, like a young leopard!

"Clang - "

A metallic collision sound rang out. The long sword swung by Ivette was easily blocked by Lane.

Seeing Ivette's performance, Lane was slightly surprised.

Yes, after all, she was the number one in swordsmanship at the level of Orcutt Academy. You should know that there were also Demons and Orcs there, races whose physiques were naturally far superior to that of Humans.

To be able to win the first place in swordsmanship there was already enough to show her strength.

With a slight shake of his wrist, Ivette was directly shaken back several steps with the sword, almost falling to the ground.

Lane then raised his long sword and pointed it at Ivette:

"Continue to attack. Don't stop. Otherwise, I will attack."
