Ascal stared on the sword embedded within the rock, sweating profusely.

Lightbane.

It was the sword the protagonist discovered and pulled out when being chased by the Imperial military, very similar to a grasp assembly their fateful encounter after falling off a cliff.

There was clearly an outline that solely the chosen hero might draw this sword.

“Why is that this popping out?”

He hurriedly pushed it again into place, however the as soon as woke up sword continued to hum as if it have been heated, asking to be drawn once more.

Ascal bit his lip harshly.

Sadly, he already had many pets at residence. A jewel frog, a pegasus, a cloud dragon, a white dragon. Sorry, however he couldn’t take one other one residence.

He hoped it might discover a higher grasp.

“What’s happening?”

“Lia, strive pulling this out as soon as.”

For instance, somebody just like the Imperial Princess.

Ascal smiled wickedly.

“…It’s firmly lodged. It gained’t come out.”

Lia continued to exert power on the sword, but it surely didn’t budge, as if the benefit with which it had come out earlier was a lie.

Decided, Lia slowly untied her headband.

Gathering her magic, she started to attract the sword with all her may.

‘Hold in there, grow to be a hero, Lia!’

Nevertheless.

The sword nonetheless didn’t come out.

Ascal pretended to wipe the sweat off Lia’s brow with a handkerchief, tying her headband once more.

“It feels prefer it’s sealed by some highly effective power. We must always seek the advice of the Magic Division.”

Even Lia, probably the most competent individual he knew, couldn’t draw the sword.

Was there a mistake when he pulled it out earlier?

Ascal drew the sword once more. With none effort, it slid out easily.

Whoosh――

“…”

Lia fell silent.

「Lastly, the resolve has been made. Grasp, settle for your mission, and let’s purify the evil empire collectively!」

The sword was talking.

Judging by Lia’s response, it appeared she couldn’t hear the voice.

“I’m not your grasp.”

Lia blushed.

“…It’s awkward to request such play out of the blue within the mountains.”

Ascal determined to disregard her.

「What are you speaking about! You’ll be able to’t draw me until you’re worthy! Because you drew me, you’re certainly my grasp!」

“And what are the {qualifications}?”

「Let’s see, I’ll verify the guide. Hmm… no evil wishes, benefitted many individuals… resolved to struggle robust enemies, no genetic ailments, and a bodily wholesome grownup.」

“With these circumstances, even the city physician might draw you.”

「And you’ll want to have nice luck.」

“…”

Ascal pushed the sword again into the rock, then lifted the rock with the sword embedded in it. It was fairly heavy, however he managed. The navy coaching he had undergone had helped construct his stamina.

Lia’s eyes widened.

“What are you pondering?”

“I’m going to discover a hero.”

He couldn’t simply grow to be a madman (hero) carrying a speaking sword round.

Resolutely, Ascal carried the rock down the mountain.

​

​****

​

<The one who attracts this sword is exempt from navy coaching and can obtain a reward. Assured by the respect of Princess Yulia Barba.>

Ascal struggled to maneuver the rock.

Within the middle of the coaching floor, the place many individuals have been, the rock was positioned. Beside it was an indication.

Naturally, it attracted lots of consideration.

“So, all I’ve to do is pull this out? They used to name me the Ogre of Hudson Village. This shall be a bit of cake.”

The Ogre of Hudson Village left the scene dejectedly, solely managing to make the veins on his brow bulge.

Many different robust males who have been assured of their power additionally tried, however not a single individual might draw the sword.

Ascal added one other line to the signal.

<If a knight attracts the sword, they may instantly grow to be the Royal Guard Captain. Assured by the respect of Princess Yulia Barba.>

Knights started to indicate curiosity.

Naturally, amongst them was Randeon.

“Hmph. This must be simple.”

Randeon first tried to attract the sword along with his naked palms however failed, as anticipated.

Sooner or later, the sword drawing had developed implicit guidelines:

First, introduce your self to the viewers earlier than making an attempt.

Second, don’t take your frustration out on the rock.

Third, don’t take greater than a minute to attempt to draw the sword.

There was even an unofficial commentator.

The commentator was none aside from the infamous gossip, Depend Devar.

‘It’s been some time since I’ve seen him.’

Regardless, the sword drawing had unintentionally grow to be a well-known competition within the Empire.

The cheers of the excited crowd, the shouts of the officers coaching close by, and the retailers drawn by the scent of cash created a raucous scene.

“Contemporary corn! Candy, contemporary corn on the market!”

“Fried snacks! Scrumptious fried snacks for simply two cash!”

“Well-liked honey fruit! Promoting out quick!”

Q. Did the Empire attempt to cease this chaos?

A. The Crown Prince, having caught wind of Ascal’s antics, discovered it amusing and supported it as an alternative.

Lia purchased some honey fruit and fed it to the coaching Ascal.

With a significant smile, she mentioned,

“We are able to’t have this mess. Let’s clear up, we could?”

Lia supplied her honey-covered fingers. Ascal licked them. They have been candy. It was summer season.

“By the best way, Depend Tellio is a famend swordsman within the Empire. Do you assume he can draw the sword?”

“We’ll see.”

Having watched the sword drawing makes an attempt for a very long time, Ascal had a tough thought. This was not a check of power alone.

If the circumstances should not met, even an ogre can not draw the sword, but when the circumstances are met, even a goblin can draw it.

Ascal hoped that among the many many individuals gathered, somebody would randomly fulfill the circumstances.

“These betting on Depend Tellio drawing the sword, collect right here! The chances are 2:1!”

For the report, Ascal had been constantly betting that nobody would draw the sword, making a tidy revenue.

‘Significantly, how laborious is it to guess on a certain factor and earn cash?’

Depend Tellio approached Lightbane with the utmost seriousness. Magic swirled round his arms.

After which.

“Shryaaaaaaap!”

Will it come out?

No.

Lightbane barely budged, only a slight tremor, however nothing extra.

“That was the closest but.”

Ascal watched Depend Tellio go away with a touch of remorse. Nonetheless, he might stroll away proudly for attaining the “Sword Barely Trembles” milestone.

“It’s about time…”

Ascal’s eyes gleamed as he regarded in the direction of one path.

He had lastly arrived.

A younger boy with grey hair, nonetheless with a touch of boyish appeal. The longer term hero, Yulia’s rival, the chief of the Anti-Empire Forces, Sirius!

Sirius regarded round.

“Right here it’s!”

“You’ve are available an uncommon outfit this time, Uncle Carl.”

“Unusually sufficient, you all the time acknowledge me instantly.”

“Wouldn’t it’s odd if individuals didn’t acknowledge you?”

Sirius laughed.

“I heard you wanted a favor.”

Ascal spoke.

“Turn out to be a hero for me, Sirius.”

‘For my sake.’

****

“That is unbelievable!!!!!! The sword is half-drawn!!! That is the best achievement of all of the challenges thus far!!! Sirius, from Haven Academy, you’re wonderful!”

Ascal’s expression turned critical.

‘Hey, your grasp is right here. Lightbane. What are you pondering…’

Then one thing unbelievable occurred.

“What am I seeing! The rock, the rock with the sword in it’s flying into the sky!”

Growth.

The rock flew up and landed in entrance of Ascal.

And the sword vibrated wildly.

‘Rattling it. This isn’t it.’

A uncommon curse slipped out.
