Episode 6. I have now met my master and am living happily without knowing about my ex-lover.

Olivia, who clearly saw with her own eyes the sight of Balis’ sword strike frozen in the air, looked at Daeyang Park and Eclay with a foolish expression.

“… Awakening of special ability.”

The Edo Sword’s special ability can use abilities engraved on the soul within the sword.

For example, Eclay’s ability is freezing. It was about accepting the cold of permafrost into one’s body and dealing with the cold near absolute zero.

However, that is an ability given to anyone who is selected as a contractor.

In order to truly handle the Ego Sword, it is a process of increasing the synchronization rate between the soul of the contractor and the soul sleeping in the Ego Sword.

To put it simply, the relationship needed to improve.

“… .”

Olivia was unable to awaken Eclay’s special abilities.

Even after 15 years, only basic cold control skills have been mastered.

It was natural that Olivia’s relationship with Eclay was only one-sided due to her sense of obligation to fulfill her contract with the first Snow.

If Olivia had tried to improve their relationship, she might have awakened her supernatural ability, even if it was a little late… It was already too late.

“I think I should give up at this point.”

“Kuhhak… !!”

As soon as the limit release period ends, Balis falls to the floor.

As the instructors left to move Balis, who had fainted from the price of overcoming the limit, to the infirmary, only one woman opened her mouth with a happy smile.

“Trainee 213. Congratulations on passing the first exam.”

*****

Candidates rushed out of the training center after the first test.

The defeated candidates board the prepared plane at the airport.

The winning candidate started walking towards the hotel provided by the academy.

“… Is that real?”

“Of course. I didn’t see Lady Olivia yell.”

“Isn’t it even greater if someone is able to recreate the technique of freezing Balis’ attack in the first place without the help of the Ego Sword?”

“I see?”

Meanwhile, the interest of the candidates heading to the hotel was pouring into me.

Well, there was something more important than those guys’ interest right now.

-This is a new form of swordsmanship invented by Sword Master Snow to utilize Eclay.

-It is an aggressive sword technique specialized in tearing the enemy to pieces.

-The possibility was left to utilize Eclay’s abilities.

-Depending on your abilities, this arcane sword technique may degenerate or evolve.

The swordsmanship that tore apart Balis’ body.

As written in the skill description, it is a swordsmanship that boasts power that seems to focus on destructive power. Eclay’s blade was threatening, but without this swordsmanship, it would have been difficult to defeat Balis with just one blow.

Well, I think that might make the problem a little bigger.

“Were you there?”

Olivia hurriedly approached me with her white hair flying and looked at me with her eyes sparkling.

“Why did you stop me?”

“Please serve the eclay again. That item has been passed down through the Snow family for generations.”

“What if I say I don’t like it?”

“Of course I thought so.”

Olivia answered like that and handed me a check.

A blank check with the Snow family symbol engraved on it.

“I left the amount blank. If it is the amount you need, I will send you a separate message from the family, so please return the Eclay to me quickly.”

don’t worry.

Because I have no intention of handing you over to someone who thinks of you as just a tool.

“Turn off.”

“… What?”

“If the item I had was an ordinary sword, I would have thought about it.”

I couldn’t afford it.

In a situation where time and money are overwhelmingly lacking, if there is someone who can provide a better environment than me, it is right to hand over the sword to that person.

“But Eclay is not an ordinary sword, right?”

“That’s why they gave me a blank check like this!”

“… Are you serious?”

“Of course! This wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t stolen it in the first place, so if they brought up the topic of compensation, shouldn’t I be grateful?”

“Huh.”

There are a lot of things to take away from those words, but… I had to talk about this first.

“Where is Eclay’s will there?”

Eclay is not an ordinary sword.

Ego Sword. Since it was a sword with ego, it was right to treat Eclay as a human being.

“If you had really tried to persuade Eclay instead of trying to bribe me with money, I would have believed you a little.”

“J, wait a minute!!”

Olivia, who belatedly realized her mistake, shouted urgently.

“What you are trying to do now is no different from trying to buy a friend or a lover with money.”

“That’s… !!”

Olivia closed her mouth.

It was obvious that no matter what I said here, it would only sound like an excuse.

“… Then what should I do?”

Olivia asked me, pressing her lower lip.

“I don’t know that either.”

“Then what do you mean!!”

“I told you. It’s not me who chooses that, it’s Eclair.”

With those words, he pulls out Eclay from the scabbard.

Olivia, who was staring at Eclay, who was still emitting a faint coldness, hesitated.

What question should I ask here?

What on earth should he say to make Eclay choose him again?

Olivia, who was lost in such useless thoughts and mouth open like a goldfish… I barely got out a single word.

“… Was I really not good enough?”

one word.

Olivia asked Eclay directly about the fact that she could not admit to herself.

-Eclay has a lot of things he wants to say to his trashy former owner.

-But unfortunately, the only person who can communicate in the form of a sword is you, the current contractor, Geombaki.

-But you have a miracle that can make the impossible possible.

-Please use the items at the Geombaki Shop to give Eclay a chance to unleash everything on his former owner.

Quest success reward: 1,000 SS coins.

Quest Failure Penalty: Former owner Olivia’s obsession.

A frugal store?

Come to think of it, there was something like that, right?

[Currently owned SS coins: 400]

Current coins held are 400.

Thanks to just clearing the first exam, I gained quite a bit… .

“If it were a store, would you be able to purchase items?”

●Gebbagi Store

-This is a whetstone that boasts quality that can be counted on one hand among existing whetstones.

-If you enter a number, the corresponding whetstone will be added to the ‘Sword Care Kit (A)’.

-15 SS coins.

-It becomes possible to communicate between the sword and the contractor through telepathy without the help of the system.

-If you use it with an ordinary sword other than an ego sword, the item will have no effect and will disappear.

-50 SS coins.

-Geombaki’s essential product!

-It is too expensive to buy the flesh, but it is a product to satisfy desires.

-99 SS Coins

“There’s something strange in the middle.”

First of all, let’s put aside all the items we don’t need and find things that are useful in this situation… .

-This is a skill book engraved with that summons the soul of Ego Sword to this world for 5 minutes.

-Each time you summon, 200 SS coins and magic power are consumed.

-200 SS Coins

“I feel like buying the Advent skill book… .”

-This is a skill book engraved with , which allows the soul of the Ego Sword to descend into a body created with magical power.

-Each time you summon it, 1,500 SS coins and a large amount of magic power are consumed.

-50,000 SS Coins.

50,000 SS coins.

I shook my head at the crazy price, which couldn’t even cover the summoning cost with the 400 SS coins I currently have, and bought a temporary summoning skill.

I nodded without any hesitation.

And soon Eclay’s appearance began to change.

“… .”

The appearance of Eclay in reality was quite different from my imagination.

Clothing befitting the title of officer and sharp eyes.

Eclay approached me with sky-blue hair like a sword blade fluttering, and looked at me with a bright smile… Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time to have a deep conversation between lovers.

“You can meet me a lot later anyway.”

therefore.

Tie the knot on the other side securely.

Eclay, who understood what I said, nodded and walked towards Olivia.

“ㅇ, are you Eclay?”

“Yes, Olivia Snow.”

“ㅈ, really! glory… .”

“I asked what you were lacking.”

Olivia, whose face was red from excitement, froze at Eclay’s cold words.

Eyes that seem to be looking at an enemy. Eclay’s red face turned completely white as he showed his unwillingness to even engage in conversation.

The moment when Olivia was urgently trying to open her mouth.

“It’s unpleasant to even meet again like this, so I’ll end it briefly.”

Eclay drew the line first.

And then he spat out one word.

“Everything. If you had paid any attention to me, I would have tried to keep my promise to Snow.”

“What is that… .”

“If you were interested in me even once… That’s not true, if I had noticed the change even once, I wouldn’t have changed like this.

After saying that, Eclay looked at me.

Olivia sat down on the floor in despair at the sight of Eclay, who had turned into a red-faced, loving female, in contrast to her cold-hearted criticism just now.

“But I will especially forgive you. Because you were so indifferent, you found new happiness by meeting your master.”

“Sleep, just a moment. Mr. Eclay!!”

“There is no need for further conversation.”

Eclay leaned towards me with his bright red face, looked at Olivia, and let out a voice full of heat.

“Because I have already met my master and am happy.”
