"Hahaha! See?! I'm the best!" Suddenly, Rean heard a young female's voice coming from the distance.
From afar, he could see that several kids around Ophilia's age were playing with the wooden weapons of the sect. Obviously, one of them was Ophilia, who had now turned eight years old during the year Rean and the others spent outside.
The boy she defeated just now seemed to be also at the age of eight or nine. However, he had an angry expression on his face, saying, "Not fair! You're using a sword! There's no way we can win!"
"Don't complain!" Ophilia said in response. "I was the one using a weapon I didn't know, and I lost as well."
"Tch... I wish we always used our bodies," another kid mentioned.
Although they were arguing, they also seemed to have fun together, which made Rean smile after seeing that. "You're doing a very good job, Hage."
