“…So you won the Expert Tournament?"0

Upon hearing Israphil’s report, Nain Darhon sought out Karyl. Although he was the head of the Immortal Council, he was still a sorcerer with a deep interest in the Original Magic.0

“Yes, that was a few years ago. I wanted to participate in the Master Tournament, but there were no challengers, so I ended up in the Gray Training Ground. That’s where I met Allen.”0

“Huh…”0

Nain Darhon glanced at Allen briefly before returning his gaze to Karyl.0

“Due to various circumstances, I couldn’t return with the Original Magic, but I still have the right to see it as the winner of the tournament.”0

Having witnessed Karyl’s monstrous abilities, Nain Darhon wasn’t surprised he had won the Expert Tournament. This meant Karyl had already been a sorcerer a few years ago.0

“And with those sword skills… You were already at the level of a Sword Master back then.”0

He couldn’t hide his surprise at how early Karyl had reached this advanced level. 0

During the tournament… I see.0

Mikhail, who had been with them in Azor, nodded in newfound awe at Nain Darhon’s words.0

“It wasn’t quite like that. I had enough mana, but my swordsmanship was lacking. I was in an awkward state. Even now, my skills aren’t perfect.”0

“Your swordsmanship?”0

“Yes.”0

Nain Darhon looked at Karyl with an incredulous expression. No one would have imagined that someone possessing the power of the Spirit King, Arcane mana, and dragon mana would consider themselves lacking.0

But in reality, Karyl felt that his swordsmanship was weaker than it had been in his...0
