"Wow! Mr. Ais, are you okay!"
When Hestia came back to his senses, the training between Xin and Ai Si had already started for an hour.
Looking at the blond girl who was constantly being hit like a ball, and finally even flew to her side, Hestia asked with some concern.
"No injuries!"
"No."
Relying on the physical fitness of a high-level adventurer, Ais, who carried it all the way, shook her head.
After fighting for more than an hour, the fire in her heart was not only not dispelled, but even more soaring.
But ...
"Stop first."
Seemingly sensing that Ais was a bit superior, Xin took the initiative to withdraw the weapon in his hand.
"I can still fight!"
"Of course I know you can still fight." Xin replied.
In the previous battles, he had been intentionally or unintentionally inducing Ais's attack, trying to let the opponent master a more perfect way to exert force.
And as the famous battle girl of Orario, Ais does have a certain talent in this regard.
At least in the past hour, the opponent's actual combat ability has slightly improved.
This is also the reason why Ais hits the top more and more. But in Xin's view, this efficiency is still too low.
At least this level of growth cannot make him feel the joy of being a teacher. And finally, to become a teacher, you have to be addicted to preaching.
Xin pointed out the other party's real problem indifferently.
"What are you looking forward to?"
"Look forward to?"
"That's right, just looking forward to it."
In the previous battle, Xin, who had seen through the girl's fighting skills and fighting will, asked. "Your sword skills are not bad, even among adventurers."
"But I can see that there is a touch of expectation in your will to fight."
"Although this doesn't affect your combat, it will affect your speed of becoming stronger."
"..... I don't understand."
"....."
After a few seconds of silence, Ais shook her head slightly.
"Well ... then let me put it another way."
Seeing that Ais didn't seem to understand, Xin chose a more simple and rude statement.
"Your purpose is for revenge, right?"
"You don't have to ask me how I know."
Interrupting Ais who was about to say something, Xin continued to speak. "My ability is quite special, and I can see a lot of deep things."
"Because of this, I can see the expectation in your heart."
"Are you looking forward to someone who can help you?"
"Help you accomplish your own goals, and help you get rid of the unreachable sea of suffering."
"I do not have ..." Ais replied with some lack of confidence.
In fact, she really didn't have this kind of thought in the past. But after Xin really pointed out this point, she vaguely realized something was wrong.
"I didn't expect that, I was working hard to become stronger ... "
"There is no conflict between expecting and trying to be strong."
Xin uncovered Ais's scar without changing his face, and sprinkled a handful of salt on it.
"At least the you I saw were looking forward to those."
"Different from the rapid growth in the past, after breaking through to LV.5, you feel your own limit."
"The decline in the speed of your own strengthening, and the concern from your family members, have made your previous hidden expectations in the heart grow stronger again."
"Even because of this, you have the idea of going forward with everyone and completing revenge with their help."
"I'm right, Ais Wallenstein."
