Here is the sneek peek of the story…

I shared what we had learned with Gayeon on behalf of the shy Seina.

“Avatar? Blood Arts? Hmm.”

“Difficult, right?”

“It’s a bit… trying to learn new things at this age.”

“What are you talking about? You were the one who taught me about the flow of mana as soon as we came to this world.”

“It’s complicated. I understand that you become stronger when you summon an Avatar, but isn’t it like borrowing power from an evil spirit?”

We both turned to look at Seina. She still seemed uncomfortable around Gayeon.

“I want to ask a lot of things, but the Blood Arts teacher looks nervous.”

“Then let’s ease her tension. How about a mock battle?”

‘Would that even be possible with her being so shy?’

Seina nodded and said, “That’s a good idea.”

“Alright. After a fight, you’ll naturally relax.”

“…Should we go outside the castle for this?”

“That might be better….”

Cecil trembled. We both remembered what had happened when Gayeon went all out before. Moreover, her opponent was the Princess. Even the Sword Saint’s training ground might not survive their clash.

“Don’t worry. Who would go all out in a mock battle?”

“You saying that while being so excited makes it less convincing!”

“Seina, take your weapon.”

Gayeon grabbed a real sword hanging on the wall.

Oh my god, there were wooden swords right next to it! Was she planning to destroy this place?

“I’ve heard from Kangseol that she’s very strong, so I wanted to clash with her.”

“If it’s against a collapser, it might be difficult to control my strength.”

“Controlling strength?”

How did the atmosphere turn into this so suddenly?

Cecil and I backed away to a corner, huddled together, trembling.

“Attack me with the intention to kill. That’s the only way we can have a proper clash!”

“Then, let’s combine it with a lesson.”

“You’re planning to bring out that Avatar, right? In actual combat…!”

Gayeon vanished in an instant. She was planning to end the fight before Seina could summon her Avatar. Her judgment was sharp, and Seina was caught off guard from behind.

‘But Master, wasn’t that a bit unfair against a mage?’

That thought barely crossed my mind before a shadow spread beneath Gayeon’s feet, swallowing her lower body up to her thighs.

“Ugh!”

Gayeon, her movement interrupted, failed her attack but quickly regained her balance and escaped.

‘Was that the legendary Sky Walk?[

The Princess creating a black hole on the floor was monstrous, but Gayeon’s reflexes to counter it were also unbelievable.

“I’ll ask just one thing,” Gayeon said sharply. “If you were trying to kill me just now, could you have done it?”

“Yes.”

“…I apologize for attacking with a shallow trick.”

Seina looked back at me, as if she suddenly remembered something.

“This is Blood Arts, Sir Geum Taeyang.”

“You were teaching during the fight?!”

“Blood Arts is magic that maximizes the properties of a living being’s blood, created by my mother.”

“Ah….”

Gayeon lowered her sword and listened closely to the explanation.

“Therefore, any creature with blood can use Blood Arts if they know the method. Even if the effect is small….”

Cecil blinked. “, the teacher suddenly became fluent!”

“You’re right…  was right.”

Fighting really did ease tension. Now relaxed, Seina continued the lesson smoothly.

“For example, if the innate property of your blood is deceleration, you can use Blood Arts to slow down your opponent’s feet or hold them in place.”

“What’s your property, Seina?”

“Darkness, Predation….”

That sounded absurdly powerful. Both of those were properties you’d expect from a final boss.

Gayeon smiled brightly. “No wonder it felt like I was entering a monster’s mouth!”

Crackle!

Electricity surged through Gayeon’s sword.

“Eek, !”

Cecil clung to me tightly, her fur standing on end. She was genuinely terrified.

Gayeon’s mana flow changed to a swirling pattern. She was getting serious.

Seina also entered a combat stance, summoning her Avatar.

“Blood Arts advances to the next level through Proof of Existence. When you summon an Avatar, your physical abilities are enhanced, and your Blood Arts are maximized!”

“Haah!”

Flash!

Gayeon swung her lightning-charged sword. Tremendous pressure and a roaring shockwave swept through the training ground.

She had controlled it so we wouldn’t get caught up, but the concentrated attack on the Princess carried lethal force.

It felt like she truly meant to kill, yet Seina calmly spread a mysterious dark substance before her and absorbed everything. And then—!

The energy Seina absorbed swelled inside her and burst back toward Gayeon.

Gayeon didn’t panic. She charged straight into Seina’s embrace.

It might sound simple, but rushing toward Seina in a storm of lightning bolts, each discharging with explosive power, was not something any normal human could do.

“Try and block this!”

Gayeon’s body split into dozens of afterimages.

A barrage of attacks rained down like a violent storm, slashing through the training ground. But the Princess didn’t even flinch.

She drew a long scythe from the air and parried every single strike. The metallic clashes echoed like explosions, shaking my whole body.

‘How was this even a mock battle?!’

“Excellent! To meet someone who has reached such a level!”

Seina vanished into her Predation domain and appeared behind Gayeon, striking her in the waist with her scythe.

“Ugh!”

Gayeon was sent flying but quickly regained her balance in midair. In the next moment, she dashed forward, faster than lightning, and clashed with Seina again.

Seina remained calm.

She had once said she didn’t fight in close combat, yet she was already a master of it. She had no weaknesses at all. Just watching the elegant movement of that mystical scythe was mesmerizing.

“Even if power increases dozens of times, not all Avatars are the same. Their characteristics differ depending on the properties of the blood.”

“….”

“You’re talking quite a lot. Is it that easy to parry my sword?!”

Realizing she was being pushed back, Gayeon poured her energy into her sword and pressed her attack against Seina.

“And now, the final stage of Blood Arts….”

Seina, as if preparing to end it, spun her scythe once before straightening her posture.

“Extreme Blood Art, a technique that only members of the Blood Clan can use.”

Seina’s energy began to swell with overwhelming force.

Gayeon couldn’t stop her already-initiated strike and was drawn into Seina’s darkness. Then, the shadow that radiated from Seina’s body swallowed everything in sight.

What was this?

I couldn’t see anything. I couldn’t even feel anything.

Three seconds passed—three seconds that felt like eternity—before the darkness cleared away.

“It’s Aura,” Seina said calmly.

Gayeon lowered her sword, cold sweat dripping down her face. She looked utterly defeated.

“What you just did….”

“I can manifest Blood Arts as an Aura.”

Then it hit me.

If Seina’s abilities were Darkness and Predation, wasn’t she practically invincible both offensively and defensively?

From that point on, even when Gayeon swung her sword, Seina didn’t move. The blade passed right through her body and then vanished, melting away like it had touched acid.

…This world was completely unreasonable.

How could anyone win against an opponent who used that as a weapon?

Gayeon shut her eyes tightly in frustration, her shoulders trembling before she finally calmed herself.

“…Our Imperial Guard once met such a strong warrior. They never even dreamt of surviving… and perished.”

She was getting emotional in the middle of the fight.

It seemed that Gayeon was remembering her fallen comrades.

Her opponent, the Princess of the Blood Clan, was renowned as the strongest. Watching her deflect every one of Gayeon’s attacks so effortlessly made it clear she wouldn’t be shaken even in a real battle.

Invincible.

Seina was an invincible Blood Arts mage—like the Grim Reaper who executed otherworlders blessed with cheat-like powers.

Even if I were a collapser, I couldn’t imagine defeating her. That Blood Art… it must have been perfected over a thousand years, with countless variations.

“This is how you greet someone in this world, right?”

Gayeon extended her hand to Seina.

“I lost, Seina.”

“….”

Seina glanced at her own palm before carefully taking Gayeon’s hand.

Maybe her shyness had eased a little.

“Thank you.”

“If you’re fine with it, I’ll help train these two as well.”

“Alright.”

What?!

The Sword Empress and the Princess joining forces?

Cecil looked slightly intimidated.

“Shouldn’t  learn from Seina too? You’ll get stronger if you can summon an Avatar.”

“No, I can’t.”

Perhaps something had resonated with her during the fight, but Gayeon looked reluctant to learn Blood Arts.

“The Blood Arts Seina mentioned are magic tailored to this world’s environment, where mana fills the atmosphere. I’ve mastered a different field in a world without mana. Forcing myself to learn this would only disrupt the flow within my body.”

Enjoy!!
