"Mellie Ambrosius, huh."

Pondering the silver-haired girl's name, Airmid led her through a dense forest and soon arrived at the place where Mika and Yahweh were training.

At that moment, in a clearing within the forest, Yahweh and Mika were continuously clashing swords.

After a month of training, Mika had made rapid progress in both swordsmanship and breathing techniques.

From being unable to block a single move initially, Mika could now hold his own against Yahweh for a short period.

After all, there were only so many variations in the Water Breathing sword technique.

After a month of continuous sparring, Mika had become intimately familiar with Yahweh's swordsmanship.

But even so, any slight flaw in Mika's defense would lead to instant defeat when facing Yahweh's onslaught.

"Clang!"

"There's an opening!"

Yahweh's eyes brightened as she noticed a flaw in Mika's stance, immediately swinging her sword to break his guard.

Then, with a swift turn, she kicked Mika down.

"Damn it, let's go again!"

Without any hesitation, Mika quickly stood up, ready to face the challenge once more.

He was continuously defeated, only to rise again and continue fighting.

Standing at the edge of the clearing, Mellie quietly watched the battle unfold. Airmid, in the meantime, was practicing Water Breathing techniques with her sword on the other side.

After bringing Mellie here and instructing her to wait, Airmid began her own training.

Left standing there, Mellie could only silently observe Yahweh and Mika's battle.

Watching Mika's relentless perseverance, her eyes gradually widened.

It was as if there was a sparkle in her eyes.

"I've found it!"

"What have you found?"

Having finished her sword practice, Airmid walked over to Mellie to greet her, puzzled by her exclamation.

By this time, an entire afternoon had passed since Airmid had brought Mellie here.

Throughout the afternoon, Airmid, who usually focused intently on her sword practice, kept glancing at Mellie.

After all, she was the one who brought Mellie here, so if anything happened, it would be her responsibility.

However, Mellie remained completely silent, simply standing there and watching Mika and Yahweh's fight.

She hadn't moved at all the entire afternoon.

So, when sword practice ended, Airmid quickly approached her to see what was going on.

But just as she reached Mellie's side, she heard her exclamation.

"Of course, it's a hero!"

Turning around, Mellie excitedly grabbed Airmid's hands and urgently said, "Airmid, can you introduce me? I want to join your Familia!"

Hearing Mellie's excited words, Airmid couldn't help but frown.

Although she hoped to see Yahweh's Familia grow, she instinctively felt a bit of resistance towards Mellie joining.

However, her kind nature prevented her from delving into that feeling, and she nodded slightly, saying, "If you wish, I can certainly help you."

"Thank you, Airmid!"
