Chapter 1309 Reporting
Meanwhile, in Rea's room, Rea was staring at the screen of her Skylink, waiting for the call to be connected.Soon, the Sword Saint's face appeared on the screen, staring at his daughter.
To his surprise, the Sword Saint felt the change in Rea's face as a gentle expression replaced his stern face. "You… have worked hard."
Normally, she would politely bow to him. But this time, Rea nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Honorable Father."
"You've truly become strong." The Sword Saint smiled, feeling proud of this growth. He never thought that agreeing to Theo's hell training was the correct choice.
Rea closed her eyes, recalling the scene when her father abruptly sold her to Theo back then. She thought her father didn't need her anymore. But this time, she was just thankful for the opportunity.
"Honorable Father…" She lowered her head to ninety degrees. "Thank you very much for sending me here."
"I guess I can't really call you home again. It seems that a certain bastard has snatched my daughter from me." The Sword Saint sighed, but still, he felt proud that he had the urge to tell this to his wife and son immediately. He just hid the excitement for the time being.
"That's right, Father… I think I'll be able to learn Order sooner or later." Rea suddenly dropped a bomb.
"What?" The Sword Saint dropped his jaw as he suddenly raised his voice. "What did you say? Who did you hear it from? That brat? How dare he tell you something like that?! I'm going to butcher him."
"No, no, no." Rea shook her head furiously, denying it. "I heard it from the Phantom Archer… who now becomes a part of us."
"Really? Why did she even mention that?"
"I think she's just clueless about that information. So, she bluntly asked to be taught about it by Theo."
"Seriously? Is he aware that teaching others easily is frowned upon?" The Sword Saint's anger rose as he never expected Theo's mouth to be this loose.
"I'm not sure since he kicked me out before the explanations. However, he told me two requirements that I can fulfill if I want to learn this information." Rea raised two fingers.
"Requirements?"
"Yes. He wanted me to be a Mythical Rank Expert and wields a power that can define me." Rea smiled. "I think he has a similarity when it comes to teaching with you. You always ask us what the sword means to us? It is as if you're asking us our identities."
The Sword Saint pinched the bridge of his nose. After this explanation, he understood that Theo was actually aware of the unwritten rule. The reason why Theo placed these two conditions was because he wanted her to be qualified to receive the Order first.
By the time she asked this question, she would have received an Order. So, there wasn't any explanation needed. In fact, he also planned to do this for both of his children.
"I see." The Sword Saint sighed. "It seems I can't really get angry at him."
"Is that so?" Rea smiled as if she was happy about it.
Looking at the smile, the Sword Saint said jokingly, "It seems that I won't be able to meet my daughter anymore."
"Ah!" Rea flustered as she waved her hands, denying the claim. "I'll be visiting home sooner or later. I just want to stay in this group a bit longer… As for whether I'll continue working here or not… Ehm, I don't know."
'I don't know.' That was a strong statement. If Rea still had the past mindset, she wouldn't hesitate to go back after becoming strong enough. But the fact that she didn't know meant there was a chance that she would be loyal to this group for the rest of her life.
The Sword Saint didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Whatever. By the way, your brother has become a Mythical Rank Expert, you know."
"Yes. I'm two levels away, but I'm restraining myself from becoming a Mythical Rank Expert for the time being. I want to get used to my power first. Father… when I visit home in the future, you should try my… Divine Technique."
"!!!" The Sword Saint was shocked before smiling proudly. "I'm looking forward to it."
"Oh, that's right. I have another thing to report… This just happened today, so I'm not sure whether I should tell you or not."
"What happens?" The Sword Saint tilted his head in question. "Are we talking about his woman?"
"No, no. It's about the Phantom Archer."
"Phantom Archer. Now that I think about it, she's one of the best assassins in the world."
"Yes. The people thought she was cursed, but Theo said it was a blessing. At first, she was struck by a green light before her body was enveloped by it. And it left a mark on her body. After hearing that explanation, Theo deemed it was a blessing, not a curse."
"!!!" The Sword Saint sucked a cold breath as he asked again to confirm it. "Are you sure about it? You said this word to word, not your own interpretation?"
"Yes." She nodded.
"Why is he that lucky? Not only is his body blessed by that learning talent, but his group is lucky enough to find another person to use this power." The Sword Saint sighed. "I wish that someone in our group could do that too."
"I guess it's truly a blessing." Rea clenched her fists and said, "Don't worry, Father. I'm going to continue to stay here and work hard. In the future, I'll be able to wield this power as well. I'll ensure that the Nagasawa Family remains as the top family in Japan."
"Yes, I'm counting on you. It seems that my investment in him is going to skyrocket from now. An elite group, huh…" The Sword Saint smirked, feeling excited to see the future of this group. "There is one thing I need you to pass to him."
"What is it?" Rea asked.
"Tell him that I owe him."
"Father…" Rea felt moved because the cause must be her growth. It meant her father still cared for her.
"See you. My break is going to end soon." The Sword Saint smiled while waving his hand.
"Yes, Honorable Father." Rea politely bowed until the screen disappeared.
