Sword Saint (That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime X Male Reader)

Chapter 3: Test of Enlightenment

-Hinata POV-

It has been a month since I met Y/N. I've been training him swordsmanship ever since. Luckily he wasn't a complete amateur. He told me that he was taught by an ogre so he knows the basic.

But I realize that his swordsmanship was that of an eastern style swordsmanship. To broaden up his skill I taught him the western style. His learning speed was quite abnormal. He was able to learn most, if not all of my teaching in mere 3 weeks.

You could say that he was a prodigy in swordsmanship but.... magic on the other hand........

I rest my hand on Y/N's to search for his affinities. Unfortunately I wasn't able to detect any.

Y/N: What is it? Which element am I compatible to?! It is water? Fire?! Maybe space?!

I felt a cold sweat drop as I look at his excited expression......

Hinata: Well..... Sorry to say this but, you have no affinity to any element....

Y/N: What.......?

The look of despair was all over his face. He drops down to his knees and simply stayed silent.

Feeling awkward about this whole situation, I left him alone to give him some space.

For the past few days Y/N eyes look lifeless, he was muttering and whispering about how he was in a fantasy world and yet he can't even use magic.

There is also something interesting I found out about Y/N a while ago. He has a Defective Source.

He could only absorb magicules in the surrounding and he couldn't release them. This cause alot of problem at first because he was like a ticking time bomb.

Luckily it has been solved now that he found a way to expend magicules by enhancing his physical capabilities.

Still, that Defective Source still has alot of drawbacks, in the eyes of other people his's magicules is no different than of a goblin's.

Regardless my time together with him was quite enjoyable. I wouldn't have to do any of the housework and I get to eat the most delicious meal anyone could ask for.

Which brings me to question..... Do I really want someone like him to go away? I mean he is a great cook, takes care of the house, sometimes takes care of me........

Maybe I should just marry him and make him be the househusband........ No that feels wrong and it would rob him of his freedom.

I sigh and drops the stack of reports regarding the disappearance of Veldora the Storm Dragon.

And I here I thought that I would get some rest after Y/N's case.

A knock came from my office door and I signal them to come in. Litus appear with profile report card.

Litus: Hinata-sama, I would like to submit my Candidate for the coming Test Of Enlightenment.

Hinata: Right, has it been that time of the year already?

I asked as I check the profile of Litus's Candidate.

Litus: Yes times flies fast, I supposed that Hinata-sama doesn't have a Recommended Candidate for this year as well?

Hinata: Probably not, right now no one has caught my attention yet-

A vision of a certain redheaded flashes flashes through my eyes. He was wearing a Saint's uniform while strange yet beautiful looking sword hangs at the back of his waist.

As I was frozen in my place, Litus had to break me out of my trance to get my attention.

Litus: Hinata-sama, Hinata-sama!
