Leon had given me the offer to ask for his assistance before the tournament, if I required any, and well... wasting such an opportunity would have been a foolish thing to do.
"So, you want a sword?"
"Yes."
"You don't have a sword of your own?"
Leon asked with a raised brow, prompting me to shrug my shoulders in return.
"I have the basic ones issued by the academy, and well, though they are of good quality, my opponents in the tournament wouldn't be normal ones."
"..."
"Noah... you must have seen that guy fighting against me."
On my words, a look of realization dawned on Leon, though he didn't speak anything else and waited for my words.
"From what I had seen during the fight, Noah's original ability grants him a sword of mana which I feel is directly connected to the world's mana."
I remained ambiguous in my answer.
"I can fight Noah even if he uses the ability to increase his rank, but my sword... I don't think it will be able to last for long against his mana sword."
