I tilted my sword and shifted my hip, letting her attack cut through the air instead of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great moves,\" I said, swinging my sword just hard enough to push them both back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaf, now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Unique Spell: Twin Bolts of Judgment!(✦5th-Level Spell✦)』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruli’s voice rang as she raised her blade. Lightning split into two sharp arcs, both aiming for me from different sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Unique Spell: Tideglass Shell!(✦5th-Level Spell✦)』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaf followed instantly, wrapping herself in a shimmering sphere of water that bent the light around her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She vanished from sight, her steps blending with the sound of water drops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning bolts crashed down, forcing me to raise my sword. My blade absorbed the strikes, the ground splitting under my feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that same moment, Leaf’s dagger stabbed out of thin air, her body reappearing from the water shell right at my side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I twisted, parrying the dagger with the flat of my sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good coordination,\" I muttered, my eyes darting between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruli pressed on, striking high, then low, her blade carrying little sparks with each swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzt! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blocked, my sword ringing with every clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Leaf kept circling, her dagger flashing in the mist she created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every few seconds, she vanished into it, then reappeared at a different angle, stabbing or slashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhk! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let my sword flow between them, turning my wrist to catch Ruli’s blade, stepping back just in time to let Leaf’s dagger cut past my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve both learned to attack together,\" I said calmly, pushing them away with a quick sweep of my sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But your timing is still too easy to read. Ruli, don’t rush your strikes. Leaf, don’t vanish in the same rhythm every time. Predictable patterns get you killed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both clicked their tongues but nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like true twins, they moved again at the same moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Ruli jumped high, lightning crackling down her arms as she raised her dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swung downward, sending a sharp bolt right at my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaf crouched low, water spiraling around her legs as she darted in, her dagger aiming for my ankle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blocked Ruli’s lightning with my sword, sparks bursting across my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I twisted and let Leaf’s dagger scrape harmlessly off the hardened wind mana I coated my boot with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My sword flicked sideways, grazing her shoulder just enough to sting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hissed but didn’t retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you’re still holding back. You won’t win if you stay cautious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruli landed, her eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine then... let’s end it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning burst from her body, mixing with Leaf’s water mist. Together, the twins crossed their daggers in front of them, their voices overlapping:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Unique Twin Connected Spell: Twin Storm Hunt!(✯7th-Level Spell✯)』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind, lightning, and water spun together into a deadly spiral that rushed straight at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack! Shhhk! Whoooosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound tore through the training ground, the floor cutting under their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remained calm, raising my sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their storm reached me, I slashed once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wave split in two, the twins forced to stumble out of their own spell. They slid across the ground, breathing hard, their daggers still ready but their bodies trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lowered my sword and shook my head softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good progress. Your teamwork has sharpened, and your spells are strong. But...\" I walked forward, tapping my blade gently against Ruli’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You rush too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I tapped Leaf’s dagger. \"And you hesitate when you see an opening. Fix those, and you’ll both be true assassins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twins exchanged glances, sweat dripping down their faces. Then, as always, they smiled together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll get you next time,\" they said in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, don’t forget to study more spells... although those unique spells are great, both of you should try to focus on magic for a while instead of physical training,\" I advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They nodded at my words, quickly taking a few steps away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally... it was Yara’s turn as both Lumi and Chaerin had their own training already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well... Lumi’s training was simply eating demon cores, but Chaerin was currently on a trip around the world to assassinate high-bounty awakeners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already had an assassin foundation, so I figured that it was simply better to let her improve her skills on her own; that way, I could send the twins to her when they were prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aestrea,\" Yara said softly, her voice carrying that low, husky tone that always made her sound dangerous and alluring at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll fight me seriously, won’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long black hair swayed as she gripped her weapon, a long silver spear that seemed to shimmer faintly, as if even its metal was tied to the fabric of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes, dark and sharp, never left me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my sword with a small smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll fight you seriously enough. But don’t expect me to hold back just because you love me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chuckled, rolling her shoulders as the air around her warped. Small ripples spread across the training ground, like the air itself had turned into water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn’t want you to,\" she whispered, before her body blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned, my sword flashing out just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spear slammed against it from behind, the force making the ground crack beneath me. She had bent space, skipping the distance between us instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" I muttered, shoving her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yara twirled her spear, her lips curving faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You felt that one? Then let’s see if you can keep up with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward, her figure flickering in and out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each movement bent the space around her, making her appear closer or farther than she actually was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spear thrusts came sharp and clean, each aimed at my chest, throat, or stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blocked each one, my sword ringing against the spear’s shaft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks burst, my wrist twisting to deflect every strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You waste mana bending space just to confuse distance,\" I said calmly, kicking her spear aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the rhythm of your body gives you away. I can still read you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yara licked her lips, a dangerous grin flashing across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll just break the rhythm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hand, and suddenly, my own body felt like it had been pulled in two directions at once. Space folded around me, dragging at my arms and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could fully adjust, her spear shot toward my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tilted my blade, catching the spearpoint an inch before it could reach me. The pressure around me vanished as I slashed outward, cutting through her distortion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better,\" I said, my eyes narrowing at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grin widened, her cheeks flushed with the thrill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she spread her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire training field shivered. Lines of warped light cut across the air, bending the ground, the sky, even the sound of our breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her figure split into three, each copy holding the same spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came at me at once, spears stabbing from different sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I parried all three in a single sweeping arc, forcing two of the illusions to shatter. The real Yara twirled back, breathing heavier, but her eyes were glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your control’s getting sharper,\" I admitted. \"But your illusions are still too fragile. They fall apart after one clash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll use my real spear to pierce you instead.\" She panted, brushing hair from her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, she closed the gap again, twisting her spear in a wide arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapon bent through folded space, its length stretching unnaturally until it reached my side from an impossible angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my sword, cutting through the distortion, and knocked the spear away.Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body followed the strike, and she spun with grace, thrusting again and again, faster now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blocked them all, my feet moving lightly, my sword flicking with precision. My voice stayed calm even as her attacks rained down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your thrusts are too direct. You focus too much on bending space, not enough on reading your target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I deflected another blow, letting the spear scrape harmlessly against my shoulder guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t just fight me. Study my sword’s trajectory, where I look, and how I shift my grip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yara froze for a moment, her dark eyes locking onto mine. Then, slowly, she steadied her breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her next thrust was calmer, smoother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let the spear flow with her body instead of forcing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space around the tip bent subtly, not in big waves, but in small shifts. making it harder to see the exact line of her attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear grazed my cheek, drawing a thin line of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked, a small laugh escaping me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was a little careless there...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that’s more like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yara’s grin widened, her chest rising and falling quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I touched you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did,\" I admitted, raising my sword again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her answer was another flurry of strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground cracked beneath our feet, space folding and twisting with every thrust. She was learning, adapting in real time, her spear moving with sharper precision than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, I was impressed. She was still far below me, but the way she improved mid-fight was nothing short of remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, strength was strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a final swing, I caught her spear in my blade’s guard and twisted. The weapon ripped from her hands, spinning into the air before crashing onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stumbled forward, breathless, her hands trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lowered my sword, looking her straight in the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re strong, Yara. But remember, control is everything with space. The more desperate you are, the less stable it becomes. Calm down, and space will listen to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yara’s lips curved into a slow smile, even as sweat dripped down her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Darling...,\" she took a deep breath and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, now that I’ve tested everyone’s power and combat style, I can finally create a few techniques for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can finally ascend to the Divine Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before that...
