Tristan actually regrets buying those two swords because, besides being handsome, they are nowhere near as good as the Free Item, the Snow Chaser, given by the system. He thought that the sword would match his temperament, so he wasted points buying them.

He was also forced to buy another sword, the Sandai Kitetsu, without knowing where it came from. He didn't use the two 'useless' fifth-grade swords and the fifth-grade sword that came from his father. He also didn't try using the 3-Sword Style in a crisis because, compared to the 3-Sword Style, the 2-Sword Style was his forte. Especially when memories of a person from Earth appeared in his mind - that person was left-handed.

Being left-handed and right-handed means he is an all-rounder. The Snow Chaser and the Sandai Kitetsu (Cursed Sword) give off a terrifying aura, as if they want to kill anything, but Tristan managed to suppress it.

Thanks to this, they managed to kill their enemies, but unfortunately, his third leader didn't survive. Tristan carried the body of his senior until he reached station 92.

After returning to station 92, Tristan discovers that there are troops planning to assassinate him and cause trouble. Fortunately, there is a sentry and another guard who are able to control them.

After this incident, Tristan is detained in prison for one week.

Upon being released from prison, no other team is willing to recruit Tristan, as if they are afraid of something. They believe that Tristan is bad luck. There are also rumors that Tristan was actually the one responsible for the death of his senior and that all of his statements were just a ploy for attention as a victim. Some say that Tristan may have even killed one of his comrades to cover up the crime.

Upon hearing the rumors about his alleged involvement in his senior's death, Tristan severely injured anyone who dared to spread the false accusations about him, resulting in another detention for a period of half a month.

Upon being released and seeing that no one was interested in recruiting him, Tristan went into the forest alone. He also refused to accept an invitation from a certain group due to a grudge between the two parties.

A few months later, Tristan made significant progress and reached the Senior Stage, alarming his opponents with his rapid advancement.

Six months ago, when a hunter team attempted to assassinate Tristan, the "Training Field" helped him to ease his exhausted mental state. The cat-and-mouse pursuit lasted for two days, until Tristan and the hunter team encountered two Leoporos Enhanced Grades who were mating. The Leoporos became enraged at being disturbed and attacked Tristan and the hunter team.

This was Tristan's chance to fight back. He was fortunate not only because the other experts were water element users, but also because he managed to breakthrough the first form of Thunder Breathing. Water is at a disadvantage when facing lightning.

Tristan was able to sneak attack the Leoporos and the Expert Stage Hunter, killing them both with a single strike. After the female Leoporos saw the death of her mate, she became enraged and attacked Tristan. Tristan thought that this would be the end for him, but the system reminded him to use the Bloodline D.

Thanks to this, Tristan was able to kill the enhanced beast and the Expert Stage, earning an additional 1,300 points - 800 for the expert stage and 500 for the enhanced beast. This brought his total points to 15,000+ which was enough to buy the Bloodline D., which was worth 15,000 points.

At that moment, Tristan felt an influx of endless willpower, instinct, and power boost in a crisis, which allowed him to kill the female Leoporos. In exchange, Tristan received a scar with a scratch mark on his body and bruises on other parts of his body.
