Chapter 334 – What Was Inside His Head?

Upon waking each morning, Enkrid practiced the Isolation technique with Audin. Afterward, he would train his control over muscle movements, slowly swinging his sword with precise, deliberate effort. This was followed by intense sparring sessions with Rem.

In between these activities, he made sure to eat meals, often snacking on herb pies. His extraordinary level of physical activity required extraordinary sustenance. Eating, resting, and bodily functions took up minimal time; the rest was devoted entirely to relentless training.

Once fully recovered, the first thing he did was destroy his barracks. After that, Enkrid focused on observing and refining himself, continually honing his methods with a scholar’s scrutiny.

Whatever Krais had done behind the scenes seemed to work—no one came to bother him anymore. He was grateful enough to declare he wouldn’t even take the Guild’s tribute payments.

But when Krais insisted he meet just one person, Enkrid reluctantly stepped outside the barracks. To his surprise, he encountered a familiar face.

“Did you get even better-looking?”

The casual remark came with a smile. Enkrid recognized the speaker immediately—Leona Rockfreed.

Leona was the leader of a trade guild and someone he’d once spent an entire night talking to, eating herb pies, sipping pumpkin soup, and wandering through the market together. Though the suggestion of becoming friends had seemed fresh and unexpected, it had planted the seeds of genuine camaraderie.

Enkrid greeted her with a steady gaze. “How could I forget someone like you?”

Leona had always been striking. Now, dressed in sleek leather pants, a thick white shirt, and a fur-lined vest, she exuded the confident air of a seasoned merchant. Even her shirt was made of a fabric unfamiliar to Enkrid, which led him to idly consider its potential as gambeson lining. His battle-focused mind found a way to think of combat even now.
