Barton saves the day
"Little Girl, don't think highly of yourself. When you were still drinking milk, I have roamed the wildlands and killed various rank-7 beasts with these hands…" The old man was really displeased with Syllia's actions.
Even if she's born in the royalty of the kingdom of Triastal; even if she's the daughter of heaven, reaching high-rank-7 in just 50 years, he doesn't care.
The short old man named Epicydes who was just a step away from rank-8 was one of the Elders at Maple Academy. He was specially deployed by the Academy to deal with situations like these where instructors from other Academies run amok.
Now that Syllia, who is the representative of a rival academy from theirs, is trying to provoke them, the old man decided to teach a lesson to her.
Upon hearing his words, Syllia raised her hand. As her soul card continued to hover around her, a shining heavy sword that looks a bit similar to that of Claire's appeared in her hands.
