"Stop... DOING THAT-!" Eris is seen being kicked back, Alaric standing firm as Ghislaine... Honestly had two tricks to provide.

"Eris. Who you are facing is an experienced Advance Water God. He's almost at the rank of a Saint, so you have to attack him quick enough to make an opening!" Ghislaine explained, but as she leaps forward...

"I gotcha-" Eris is parried once more, but...

"Ah!" Her blade is knocked down, as Alaric hits the girl's gut with the wooden blade,

"Tsk!" Eris grunts, grabbing the blade, Eris smirked, kneeing the boy in his own gut-

"PAH!" A sudden sound is made, as with his other hand, the two growl as their Touki is on par with one another.

Or more so, Alaric was manipulating it to do so.

"Ugh... You win, Alaric..." Eris accepted defeat as Alaric smirked,

"To be honest, I never experienced that kind of pressure before," Alaric explained, as Eris wondered,

"Really? Why?" She wondered.

"Well... Back at the dojo I learn at... Water God is not supposed to be offensive. Only one technique I can't even perform is offensive. But most of the time we're simply honing and fighting with normal swordplay." Alaric explained as Eris sighs,

"And I've never experienced... A wall like that before..." Eris pouts as Alaric cheers her up,

"Come on, don't feel bad! You did amazing, you're definitely not someone to scoff at!" Alaric puts out a hand as Eris respects him for his stubborn play style.

"Hehe, you too, Alaric!" Eris states, as...

"!!!" Alaric fights with Ghislaine, as she rushes in, swinging wildly yet precise and accurately.

"So much...!" Alaric growls, barely able to keep up, Ghislaine states,

"Keep your stance, Alaric! You will go back home with this experience engrained in your head!" Ghislaine explained as such, striking Alaric once,

"!!!" His eyes widened before Ghislaine hit his neck,

"!" Ghislaine noticed...

"Huh? A barrier?" She is confused as Alaric jumps back with the Sword King curious as to what he used...

"!!!" She noticed the necklace glowing... Yet Alaric's Touki is still felt at full power...

"This kid has some intense mana and control of it... Hehe, deceiving me, kid?" Ghislaine complimented the boy before rushing at him...

But...

"SHING!" The visual effect of his Demon Eye spins at its pupil...

"A one-hit attack! She's trying to end this fight quickly now... I can feel it!" Alaric thinks, before Ghislaine moves once more, but...

"TWAK!" The wooden blade is knocked up, and her arm moves as well.

"BAM!" Alaric lands a heavy blow with all his might, as Ghislaine smirks,

"Not bad, kid. But your strength is still that of a kid." Ghislaine stopped as Alaric breathed heavily, with Lilia soon saying,

"Master Alaric, we must go now," Lilia explained, as during his stay, he got a lot of experience with the Sword God users, learning that despite being trained, he has no battle experience to show.
