49 Edelberg Mountain(2)

Staring at each other as the cold mountain wind chilled their bodies on Edelberg Mountain. Edelweiss looked with surprise in her crystal blue eyes at the posture that the young man in front of her had, although he seemed to have no posture by only holding his sword with his right hand while the other rested.

Edelweiss could tell thanks to her high experience in swordsmanship, that that position Ren was taking, and the way he was holding his sword as if it was just another limb, Edelweiss couldn't help but think -"(Monster!) "- Since to be able to use a sword as one more limb without having to think about moving it, many years of training in the sword were needed. And for the young man in front of her to already be in that realm, he was worthy of someone with monstrous talent.

"Tell me how old are you?. If the silver-haired girl is your sister, you should be about 10 to 12 years old, right?" Edelweiss asked since she was curious about the young man in front of her, which she noticed more deeply. Edelweiss noted that the young man contrary to her if he had a reason to use the sword, which made her a little envious. Since at her power level, no one could challenge her in power or swordsmanship.

"(Although if he can face me in swordsmanship alone, I would have a reason to continue improving and making an effort)" - With a slight smile growing on her face upon hearing that thought that appeared in her mind, Edelweiss did not she could wait for their confrontation.

"You are correct, my sister and I are 12 years old, but let's leave that for when we finish our practice"

Nodding at Ren's words, Edelweiss refocused on their matchup, while at the same time feeling her emotion grow slightly into a spark in her chest, which was awaiting confirmation of Ren's abilities to become an angry flame.

Falling silent for a few seconds, Edelweiss decided to test the speed of her opponent, even though his swordsmanship was in the same realm as her. Edelweiss wanted to test his speed, strength, and stamina, so they could have a long and satisfying matchup.

"(Though if he doesn't have that, I'll be able to train him to be on par with me)—With that thought seems to merge with his previous thought. Edelweiss covered the distance of one meter in an instant like the blink of an eye, and in a movement of supernatural speed.

Edelweiss cut in a horizontal line across his chest.

Slightly smiling at the high-speed movement and mastery Edelweiss had over her body she could use the Momentum of speed and muscle in her body so that she could effectively double her speed by using only superhuman control over the body itself, and use Momentum to again double the speed of her body or any limb. Ren was surprised at that move but reacted quickly as he braced his body to follow the move.

*clink*

With the sound of the swords colliding and with Ren's arms trembling from the impact and the shock of directly stopping the sword that was moving at a speed of 640 meters per second (2,304 kilometers per hour). Ren had to strengthen his body 5 times to see and stop the speed of the sword. Which was quite a feat, since 2 years ago thanks to his race as a Seraph, Ren can get stronger by absorbing magical energy, although he got stronger very slowly, only gaining about 4 points in those 2 years in his physical stats.

Which compared to the human who hadn't been able to cross the threshold of an A-grade Physique, which would translate to being 10 times stronger, tougher, and faster. Ren had surpassed that limit at the age of 12 thanks to being a Seraphim, the highest-ranking Angel.

Although the Human had not yet been able to cross the threshold of an A-grade Physique naturally, they could cross it by strengthening their body, which could easily be done when you have basic mastery over mana, which would allow the Human to strengthen their body 5 to 6 times.

"You are strong, resilient, and fast. You are someone amazing to have an A-grade Physique at 12 years old "- Commented Edelweiss with a look of emotion visible on her face, since just this confrontation that she had with him. Edelweiss had noted that when it came to Physique they were the same rank, which was surprising since most Blazers will have an F or E grade Physique.

"What can I say, I'm kind of natural about it"- Responded with a soft smile on her face. Ren glanced lightly at the ground, which was cracked as well. That she had sunk what seemed 2 to 3 meters deep, since Edelweiss had passed the impact through her muscle and then directed it towards the soles of her feet and consequently towards the ground, leaving the exchange unharmed. Although the mountain floor could not say the same.

"What surprises me is your insane control over your body, it seems like a fun thing to do"- Looking at Edelweiss's body, Ren noticed that she didn't have a muscle visible to the naked eye, although he couldn't say the same without seeing her body completely. Ren thought that she had no muscle, and if she did, it would be compact, suited to her mature and voluptuous figure.

"I could teach you if you come to practice with me every week"-Edelweiss replied as she looked at Ren without seeming upset, since she was already used to being looked at, besides. Edelweiss was amused that Ren was just looking at her body curiously as if he was searching for something.

"If you're looking for muscle, you don't have to. For some reason even with my strong body, I've never had any muscles, which is more to my liking"- Clearing Ren's look of curiosity. Edelweiss lowered her sword and returned to her starting position in the blink of an eye.

"Then what do you say?"

Having his curiosity sated by Edelweiss's own words. Ren thought about her words carefully, as Ren knew he would accept. He didn't want to leave his mother and sister alone, so after thinking about it for a bit and remembering that doctor that she was very popular because of her abilities with her Device over water. Ren decided to accept her words -"Sure, I have no problem"

"I'm glad you accept my proposal, how about we go into my cabin?, your family must be waiting"- Smiling softly as she looked at Ren, Edelweiss kept the Device from her.

"Sure"- Nodding at her words, Ren followed

Edelweiss had a look of excitement on her face along with a soft smile on her face.

Entering the hut and looking at his mother's concerned look, Hitomi, which was in stark contrast to the calm, Shizuku, who had a smile and a look of confidence on her face.

Ren let out a laugh making his presence known, which was when the two girls turned their gaze towards the noise. Hitomi's worried look disappeared, while Shizuku's became brighter.

"See! I told you I'd be back in a few minutes"

"Yes, I saw"- Smiling motherly as she looked at Ren, who only smiled softly in her direction, the group of four people headed towards a 4-seat table.

"Would you like some cookies?" Edelweiss asked as he looked at the 3 people sitting on the chair.

"Yes!"-Shizuku exclaimed upon hearing Edelweiss's words, while Ren just nodded along with Hitomi since she needed a way to release that tension she had when Ren was left alone with Edelweiss.

"Then I'll be right back"- Leaving those words, Edelweiss headed towards the kitchen, which had everything she needed, so grabbing some ingredients such as flour, eggs, chocolate chips, etc. Edelweiss started making the cookie mix and then putting it in the oven.

Observing the rapid movements when cooking in the open kitchen, which could be seen from his place. Ren turned his gaze to the women in front of him - "Well, I faced Edelweiss and we were in a draw in our first move, although that 'draw' I lost since I couldn't help my arms trembling" - Starting to recount what happened in that short confrontation that ended in a blow just like his confrontation against Ouma.

Ren finished saying everything that had happened, which drew a sigh of relief from Hitomi as well as a proud smile on her face, which Shizuku copied - "Also, I'm going to start training with her every week, so I had thought to have Shizuku also train with someone skilled in manipulating water."

"I was also thinking the same thing, I had thought to train Shizuku for these 3 years until they entered the Hagun Academy, but looking at your smile, I guess you already have someone in mind to train her"-Hitomi said as she looked at Ren.

"Yes, I already have someone in mind"- Saying that without saying exactly the person, Ren turned his gaze towards Shizuku -"So what do you say, do you want to become strong like your brother?"

"I've always been ready Nii-sama, all I ask is that you visit me every day" Shizuku replied with a determined look on her face, since she wanted to cover Ren's back, and with her current strength she would not be qualified. to protect or be a trustworthy person for him.

"I will visit you every day"- And with those words coming out of Ren, the family of 3 relaxed in the homely cabin of Edelweiss, which after a few minutes went to the table with different bowls full of cookies with hot chocolate.
