My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 314 Leah’s New Swordplay: The Swords Of Lancelot

<strong>Inside the Dome of Gravity, Camelot;</strong>

"Ha" "ha" Ha"

Leah was practicing a sword technique at 20 times the gravitational force. As if the gravitational field around her wasn't enough, she was wearing nearly 60 kg of arm and leg weights, which is like having 1200kg additional force on her. Her opponent is Cynthia Pendragon, who is her paternal aunt and the ex-gf of Syllia Lefeuvre.

After breaking her off engagement with Duke Welmir and bringing chaos to Camelot, she left home and became busier with adventuring into the wild once again, only to return a few weeks ago under the King's request, so that she can train her niece.

Due to the political situation at home caused by her aunt, Leah had to reveal her Upper Elite realm (rank-6) soul power and graduate from the Heavenly Academy and return home.

As the crown princess of Camelot, Leah became very active in politics but the announcement of the world league forced the king to give her time to train. After all, the trophy of the world league is not only important for Leah but the whole of Camelot.

This year, she knew that there was going to be a tough competition in the form of Azzy, Claire, and who knows how many other children of heaven who went into hiding until now will resurface…

With only two weeks in hand, she was training her hardest for she doesn't want to underestimate her opponents.

Aurelia Harpis, the royal teacher of Camelot, a Supreme Realm expert (rank-9) was continuously drinking while keeping an eye on her student.

"You arrr rrrepppeatinnggg the forrmshhh…"

(You are repeating the forms)

Aurelia spoke loudly, interrupting Leah's practice with Cynthia. "Eh?" A trace of surprise appeared on her face.

"rrrememmberrr, no tecnikkke is the besshhth forrrmm offff teknikke"

(Remember, no technique is the best form of technique)

Realization dawned upon her. She bowed, "I apologize. I'll not make the same mistake again.

She went back to practice.

What she was practicing is a sword technique called Swords of Lancelot. This swordplay has nine stances, each of which is designed to counter a particular form of martial arts, including those involving the use of weapons.

The first core element of swordplay is prediction and speed. She was trained to quickly predict and identify the weaknesses in the opponent's techniques to target them even while counter-attacking.

The second core element of swordplay is its formless nature and adaptability. Unlike other sword techniques, the Swords of Lancelot don't follow any fixed pattern. As such, in theory, it is impossible for an opponent to predict the moves of the swordplay.

Of the nine stances of general, sword, saber, spear, whip, mace, palm, arrow, and energy, Leah had already mastered eight of them and is currently in the middle of training the energy stance, which is used to block and counterattack all the energy attacks.

Around noon, she stopped her training and both of them returned home for the lunch.

The family members are having lunch together. Cynthia was quiet during the whole time, refusing to meet her eyes with her eldest brother. Prince Celus was also quiet, trying his hardest to keep the secret of his sister, a secret like always.

In the end, the King started a conversation with her, "Cyn, how is it going with Leah's training? Will she end by the time of the league?"

He had already heard from his daughter but so as to not make the atmosphere too awkward, he tried talking with his younger sister with whatever it comes to mind. At least talking about something is better than staying silent.

Cynthia answered slowly while looking at her plate, "I'm sure, she will."

Her answer was quite short. She was also a little bit disappointed that her brother talked to her only to enquire about Leah. Is he even worried about her well-being? But, then again, she cannot afford to expect too much after becoming selfish and causing too much of a mess.

Lucas Pendragon, the Camelot's King nodded, "I see…" He became silent for a brief amount of time before saying, "I think you should take her to Arcana world, preferably, a level-3 region, to see the results of training until now."

"Eh? Arcana World?" While Leah was visibly surprised, Cynthia simply nodded, "yes, I will."

The atmosphere became silent once again for a while until Cynthia stood up from the seat, "I'm finished. I'll go take some rest for the rest of the noon. We'll resume our training in the evening, Leah. We'll venture into the wild, first thing in the morning."

She bowed to her brother and sister-in-law, and left the place, making the King sigh deeply, "It's becoming very difficult to talk to her these days. It's as if she was keeping some kind of wall between us."

The Queen patted his arm, "she will come around when she truly understands that we aren't blaming her. Give her the time…"

"Well, what else can we do?" The King let out another sigh.

Celus and Leah stayed silent. They don't know what to do with her either. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

Meanwhile, somewhere in the northeastern part of the continent, the kingdom of Rivendell;

Inside one of the large bed chambers, an obese-looking naked young man was sleeping soundly with a couple of sleeping naked women on the side. There were clothes and wine spread all over the floor.

It is the fatty prince of Rivendell, Gyllan Varen Eranyl, the only child of King Ragron whose soul orb was sealed by Agatha. Later, with the assistance of the Magnolis family's ancestor, the access to soul energy returned to him.

Even after the incident, Gyllan just resumed enjoying his life in bliss, instead of training harder and making a breakthrough. It's because he knows that it's useless. He might be arrogant but not foolish. He knew that he cannot defeat Azzy on his own when the latter could force his father to use real strength to block the attack.

On top of that, his age is over 18. So, he cannot participate in the same division as Azzy either. So, this entire training is meaningless for him.

As for sending someone else, his father didn't allow him to send the guards to go to Aclein city and assassinate Azzy. Gyllan feared his father. So, he behaved and just waited for an opportunity while enjoying like any other rich young fellow.

The 22-year-old slowly opened his eyes, grabbing his head that was aching, "Ugh, I guess I drank too much… Eh?"

The first he saw is a floating envelope that is made of energy. There was a signature of a familiar person.

He furrowed his brows, "why is this guy contacting me?"

He grabbed it and crushed it with his soul energy. Letters started to appear inside his mind. It was a text message. He read it.

In an instant, his facial expression changed. He cracked his knuckles with a grin on his face, "Finally, I got the opportunity to take my revenge on those two but before that, I need to talk with Father. His humiliation at Graena city also needed to be avenged. Who knows… he might even agree to send a General."
