Freya's determination

It's been a few days since the fight between Chu Feng, and Ragna. In one of the abodes of the inner sect disciples, Freya was meditating, once she was done she stood up and exited her abode. In front of her door stood a pile of flowers and gifts. When she saw this Freya sighed, this has been happening for a few days now. Freya took the gifts, and placed them inside her abode. The reason this kept on happening was because, even in the Heavenly Sword sect Freya was in the top 3 of the most beautiful women in the sect.

Number one and two were core disciples, it was said their beauty was only matched by their strength.

After Freya organized her new gifts, she headed towards, the inner sect disciples' private training grounds. Seeing it was too early, the only person there was Freya, once she double checked, and was sure no one was there, Freya started practicing.

She was trying to condense her Qi into her sword, like what the Sect Leader did in the battle with Ragna. Yet no matter how hard she tries, she just can't make it condense into a smaller form. Every time she tries, it just bursts into a beam, it's not even a sword beam, just a burst of her Qi.

After some trial and error Freya was still unable to condense her Qi, but she felt her control of it got better. The next phase of her training was remembering Ragna's sword skills during the fight with Elise. That fierce sword of his, truly made an impression on her.

She visualized the movements Ragna made, and tried to copy and incorporate it into her own movements. She moved her body alongside her sword, feeling it flow with her. As her movements got sharper, she added a bit of Qi into her sword moves. She felt a cold sensation envelop her Qi, but even with this unknown feeling she continued to dance with her blade.

'clap, clap, clap'

Freya heard a clapping sound and was removed from her trance like state, and when she surveyed her surrounding she noticed, that the nearby trees were encased in ice. The person who was clapping was wearing the robes only Elders of the sect can wear. She looked to be around the middle of her twenties, she was a stunning beauty, even Freya cannot deny that. Flowing silver hair that stop at her hips, an oval shaped faced with almond eyes, skin almost as white as snow, even her demeanour felt cold, and aloof. She even had a body which had curves in all the right places.

"Greetings Elder." Freya bowed toward the female Elder.

"That was a magnificent sword play, but it wasn't one our sect teaches... Was that perhaps your original sword play?"

"No Elder, that was just a copy of the sword play of a boy I know."

"I see..."

The Elder turned silent, Freya wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Elder's serious look.

"What is your name child"

"Freya."

"Freya is it?... I am Yin Yue, one of the three Great Elders of the Heavenly Sword sect, how about becoming my personal disciple."

When Freya heard those words, she was shocked for a moment, and then quickly answered.

"Of course I would want to... But why me Elder Yin Yue?"

"Because your type of Qi is the most suitable for my very own way of the Heavenly Sword. As long as you train under me, you'll be the strongest of your generation."

When Freya heard the words strongest of her generation, she stopped hesitating, and clasped her fist.

"Freya greets master." Yin Yue nodded her head.

"Very well then, follow me to my residence. Seeing as your my very first disciple, I hope you wont disappoint me."

"Of course master, I will not disappoint."

'Finally I'm able to see a way to catch up to him.'

...

Ragna the person Freya was deeply thinking about, was forcing a boy who looked like a girl to wear a maid uniform.

"Why don't you just wear this? I thought you'll do anything I ask?"

"Sorry master, I will do almost anything, but please don't make me wear such embarrassing clothes!" Reki screamed back at Ragna. 'Did master noticed something about my secret?' Reki thought to himself.

Ragna oblivious to what Reki was thinking about, pointed at Elise who was already wearing the maid costume. "How is this embarrassing? Look at the brat, she's wearing it no problem."

"Master did you forget she's a girl and I'm a boy, of course she'll be less embarrassed."

"Who cares if your a guy or a girl? As long as you look cute in it, that's all that matters."

When Reki heard the word cute, she was momentarily stunned and asked in a shaky voice. "M-master do you think I'm cute?" Reki blushed a little while saying this.

"Huh? Why is a guy like you blushing, while he's being called cute by another guy?"

"Just answer the question MASTER!" Reki screamed, at the top of his lungs. Ragna was stunned by the sudden outburst, Elise on the other hand started giggling.

"Well yeah, even comparing to other girls your uncannily cute." Ragna said still confused why he was asked such a question.

"Fine then, since Master keeps on insisting, I'll be wearing this maid costume for him." Reki quickly took the maid outfit, and went to the storage room to change.

Ragna just stood their dumbly at the sudden change of Reki. Elise who watched the whole thing couldn't stop laughing.
