Chapter 6

"Alright, well done. Now again!", Zaratras said as he personally heads the Fox's Sin of Greed's training, with his eyes observing carefully.

Elaine, recently motivated by her captain's words of determination, kept swinging her wooden sword with grace and elegance she cleverly improvised, something she learned from Ban who told her about the highborn ladies being all graceful and elegant when they move whom he robbed from them earlier 20 years ago, as she sparred with Meliodas who apparently took it easy for her until she finally gets it as she struck, parried and dodged attacks every time against her captain in quick speed, began to easily cope with the fighting style of the humans as she is slowly dropping the way of how fairies fight, although ironically none of the Seven Deadly Sins aren't even human at all. They're monsters!

Meliodas, whilst parrying and striking at the immortal fairy, complimented. "You're getting good Elaine! Keep it up!"

"T-thanks captain!", the Fox's Sin of Greed replied before quickly dodging then lets out several slashes all at once which Meliodas easily parried.

Over time during Elaine's tough course of training, the immortal fairy did her very best to learn and improve her swordsmanship and combat skills under Meliodas, the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins and Great Holy Knight Zaratras, as she managed to keep up with Meliodas' lessons and Zaratras' guidance slowly but surely at least. They taught her how to swiftly react and dodge every attack, telling that even if she has immortality, the immortal fairy had to become more reaction in the field of battle not to rely on her incredible healing abilities too much.

The immortal fairy felt pain from all the strikes she received from Meliodas even it's the gentlest of attacks but no fatigue at all throughout the training as she soon realized that her immortality no longer allows such tiring state in her body, allowing her to greater endurance with no signs of tiring at all unlike the first time of her training that she first get tired. They included series of exercises like running and pushups and sparring with her captain or with the Great Holy Knight himself, first from the wooden sword then to the real sword.

Not Hadhafang of course. Not yet anyways...

On the other hand, the Fox's Sin of Greed came to discover that her immortality from the Fountain of Youth not only granted her unrivaled regenerative abilities but also insanely massive super-strength as she accidentally caused a straight line of destructive shockwave on the ground just by stomping her feet in frustration during in one of her training drills due to Meliodas sometimes not being serious in his role as a training instructor.

Her brother was sadly caught in its range while on his own training session routine with Chastiefol, ended up being sent flying into the skies in the process but used his levitation to re-balance himself mid-flight that brought her a comedic scolding from her older sibling as a result.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing sister! You almost blew me away, Elaine!", King yelled frantically.

Elaine was utterly embarrassed of this and repeatedly said sorry to her big brother, bowing in panic of the Fairy King's wrath that have caused even the most powerful warriors in Britannia tremble in fear of his name or at least her big brother's..

"At least it was a breathtaking experience for your brother, right Elaine? Ni-shi-shi.", Meliodas jokingly commented.

That gave a warm laughter among her fellow Sins with the exception of Escanor however he can be heard slightly coughed up laughing and Zaratras. And oh boy Meliodas made a joke about it at her expense, prompting Elaine to whack him in the head with the wooden sword but the blond kid easily dodged it much to her frustration who then blew him away with a swipe of her hand. But that didn't actually faze him at all as he clearly enjoyed the view from above.
