Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 325  In Order to Secure my Objectives

"It was because you know what is right and you just showed your opposition to his wrongdoings. I would also do the same if my parents ever became tyrants. You are a righteous person, so you deserve to get stronger in order to protect this city from any danger." "My lord..." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After that, Dane clasped her hands and lowered her head, staring at the stone floor again, but she was not gloomy this time. Then she turned her attention to me a few seconds later. "Um... can I ask if you have done something like this to someone before?" "I have done it before, yes. The same as you, the members of the Myriad Wings also dream to conquer the Imperial Dungeon." "You mean, Sir Michael, Miss Lucy, and Miss Uriel?" "Yes. They used to be under my guidance. But, during that time, one of them, Gabrielle, caught the attention of my parents. So that\'s why I will be having a new mother in the future. When Gabrielle got engaged to my family, the others swore allegiance to the Raevender family, and they eventually became our vassals." "So that\'s the story behind that..." Of course, that was not all true, so I could make my stand more credible. Dane probably recognized them stronger than herself, so she would believe that my assistance forged them that way. "I have decided, milord." She looked sternly at my eyes before she rose up from the bench and then stood upright before me. "I will improve myself with your help, and I promise to protect this city, no—this nation." With a serious face, Dane put her right fist over her chest, steeling her sincerity. "You made the right choice, Dane." "It is a pleasure, my lord." Expressing her gratitude, Dane took a ninety-degree bow in front of me. With that position, I could clearly see her cleavage in between two mountains, with a curve at the end of my lips. But I immediately reverted back to my serious expression once she straightened her body. With that, I successfully convinced Dane to undergo my training sessions. In that context, I would slowly gain her trust in order to secure my objectives. ◆◇◆◇◆◇

The next day, I met up with Dane at the same time and location for the first day of her training under me. After briefly greeting each other, I then opened a Portal that we used to instantly reach our destination, the 101st Floor of the dungeon. I chose to bring her on that Floor since it was basically empty and there were no monsters, structures, or whatsoever; that floor was a perfect place to train and go all-out. With the dungeon\'s [Mob Modification], we had been using this Floor to gain free EXP. An adventurer reaching this deep was virtually impossible, so we would have complete privacy unless someone managed to defeat the Boss or any residents from the 103rd Floor decided to go up. "Ugh—?! I forfeit, my lord...!" Currently, Dane was flatly lying facedown on the grassy ground as she was fighting the surface force of the Earth\'s star, twenty-eight g. While doing her daily swings, I had her do it under that force. I had given her a task not to touch her sword to ground in every swing without using her unique skill. She was doing decently in the first five minutes with minimal difficulty. But then she started to struggle and gave up, and then she was pinned to the ground a minute or two later. "Alright, ten minute break." "Yes, my lord...!" Once I lifted up my Gravity Field, Dane staggeringly rose up, but her body was so worn out that she immediately dropped her butt to the ground to gulp the canteen of water from her waist. By the way, she was in her light gray tank top and black leggings, which were also popularized by Rick, so her sweats were notably apparent all over her body. On the first day of her training, I did not summon any monsters, and I had Dane hone her body first thing first. I wanted her to do the routine Big Sis and I had been doing since we started training our bodies: maximizing our base stats through hellish training before gaining EXPs and leveling up. That was why I was strictly pushing her to her limits. "Break time is over. Go back to your position." "Yes, sir!" After ten minutes, I cast the Gravity Field for the third time and threw the sun\'s gravity on her spot.
