64 Visiting Loki Familia!
Chapter 64: Visiting Loki Familia!
Time progressed to late at night, and finally, amidst nervousness, Freya summoned Ethan.
With excited emotions, Ethan arrived at his goddess's chamber, only to find that the scenario he had imagined did not occur.
"Freya-sama~"
As soon as he entered, Ethan spoke to Freya.
"Well, I have found you a teacher. Go to his place tomorrow and learn from him."
"Teacher?"
"Yes, at this stage, you are strong, with not low ability values, and you do not lack skills and magic, but your combat experience is too weak. Therefore, you need someone to guide you on how to fight."
Listening to Freya's words, Ethan did not object but nodded instead.
He knew his own situation, just as Freya had said, he really didn't know any fighting techniques; in other words, his way of fighting was the most primitive, relying on instinct and intuition.
It's nothing now, but in the future, this will become his weakness.
"Um, Freya-sama, who is this teacher? Ottar? Allen? Or someone else from our familia?"
"None of them, it's Finn Deimne, who also is the captain of Loki Familia, whom you met at the banquet before."
"Who? Finn, really?"
"Yes, what, are you not satisfied?"
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, I just didn't expect, Freya-sama, you would find me a teacher from another familia."
Looking at Freya, Ethan also had some doubts.
This possessive goddess was actually letting him learn from a member of another familia.
"Ottar and the others from my Familia are not suitable to teach you, and so I have no other choice."
"Uh~~~"
Hearing Freya's reasoning, Ethan really didn't believe it at all.
Such a large Freya Familia, and not a single person able to teach him?
He's afraid no one will believe this.
There must be other reasons, but she does not want to tell him.
Ethan had no objections. Compared to the potential 'enemies' within his own familia, Finn was definitely a good choice for a teacher.
"Should I visit Loki Familia tomorrow, or is Finn coming here?"
"You need to go there in person. I've already discussed everything with Loki, so how much you learn from Finn is up to you."
"Understood~"
Ethan was actually quite curious about Loki Familia.
When he first arrived in this world, the Loki Familia was his top choice.
As one of Orario's top two Familias with a harmonious atmosphere, it was definitely the best option to join.
But 'fate' is a funny thing; things don't always develop the way you expect them to.
…
The next day, Ethan got up early for his first visit to Loki Familia, with a bit of expectation.
After washing up and changing into a clean set of clothes, Ethan left the Tower of Babel and headed for Loki Familia's residence, 'Twilight Manor'.
Twilight Manor is located in the northern part of the city, directly facing the North Street of the Central Square.
It just happens to be opposite the location of the Freya Familia's residence, one is in South Street and the other in North Street.
"Amazing~"
Upon arriving at the outskirts of Twilight Manor, Ethan couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Being able to occupy such a large territory in the bustling part of Orario, truly worthy of being one of the two strongest familias in Orario.
However, it's also funny; he hasn't even visited his own Familia's residence and has come to visit Loki Familia's base first.
"Who are you?"
The guard at the entrance asked Ethan as he approached.
"I am Ethan Starfall from Freya Familia. I'm here to find Captain Finn, please pass the message."
"Someone from Freya Familia looking for our captain?"
"Yes, goddess Freya and goddess Loki have already given me permission."
"Please wait a moment~"
After glancing at Ethan, one of the guards ran back to report, while the other remained on guard.
A few minutes later, the guard returned, accompanied by Loki Familia's captain, Finn.
It must be said, the differences between races are truly significant.
Despite being a man in his forties, Finn looked almost like a young boy, truly worthy of being a member of the pallum race.
"Ethan, we meet again."
"Captain Finn, I'm troubling you this time."
"It's no trouble at all, come in."
Under Finn's invitation, Ethan entered Loki Familia's residence.
The guards at the door looked at Ethan with curious faces, wondering what a member of the Freya Familia was doing here.
"Ethan, Loki and I have discussed this, and for the next month, I will spend three hours every morning teaching you. What do you think?"
"You're the teacher, and I'm the student; the timing of the classes naturally depends on you."
"Don't say it like that, we're not in a teacher-student relationship; it's just friendly exchange."
Finn dared not acknowledge this 'teacher-student relationship'; after all, no one can say how long their Familias can stay 'peaceful' with each other, so it's better to be cautious.
Ethan didn't say much more; he just casually mentioned it.
Together with Finn, he went to the training ground; as it was still early, so there were no other people there.
"Ethan, what weapons are you accustomed to?"
"Short swords and long swords."
He currently had two weapons: the second-class weapon 'Black Sword' given by Freya, and the special grade cursed tool 'Inverted Spear of Heaven' obtained from drawing cards.
Finn nodded, although he was accustomed to using a long spear, he was not unfamiliar with short swords and long swords, as there were many people in their familia who used such weapons.
"Then let me test your strength first."
Teach according to the student's abilities; to teach someone, first, you need to know their strength.
And the best way to understand it is through actual combat.
"Alright~"
Ethan drew a long sword from his waist; as for the Black Sword and the Inverted Spear of Heaven, they were in his 'Imaginary Space', after all, this was not a real fight.
Finn smiled slightly and picked up a long spear from a nearby rack.
'Swoosh—'
Without any words, Ethan launched an attack, stabbing towards Finn with the sword in his hand.
'Clang—'
Finn, with rich combat experience, counteracted Ethan's strike with his long spear and then thrust forward, forcing Ethan to retreat several steps.
However, Ethan then continued to attack, which Finn all caught and counterattacked.
The whole process didn't involve any fancy swordsmanship or techniques; it was a pure clash, but the two were not on the same level; all of Ethan's attacks were easily neutralized by Finn.
