Chapter 503 – Shall We Head to the Training Ground?

“Are you really that good at fighting? Follow me to the training ground.”

Nurat had once been the deputy to the commander of the Green Pearl.

‘What was that commander’s name again?’

Enkrid tried to recall but couldn’t remember. All that came to mind was that the man was good at composing poems and singing songs. Some things inevitably faded from memory over the repetitive cycles of his days. No matter how strong his memory, perfection was unattainable.

Still, Nurat stood out in his recollections—a dark-skinned woman with a broad heart, springy muscles, and Krais’ lover. These overlapping memories had built a clear impression over time.

It dawned on Enkrid anew that even the talent-assessing gaze of Frogs wasn’t infallible. No matter how discerning their eye, it couldn’t always be correct. Yet, as he watched Nurat’s posture and gait, it was clear she had reached a certain level. Unless she’d picked up some exaggerated mercenary swordsmanship, like the boasting swagger of Valen-style, Nurat seemed to have surpassed a barrier.

“You’ve improved,” Enkrid remarked nonchalantly.

“Me? Well, I have been training hard. Do I look a bit better now?”

Krais flexed his biceps as he spoke, but Enkrid didn’t even glance in his direction. Instead, his attention remained on Nurat, who planted her left foot with precision, pressing the sole firmly against the ground. More than that, she was evenly distributing her weight, ready to react in any direction.

Such a stance allowed for quick responses, whether left or right. Even Rem muttered a small “Oh” of admiration, and Luagarne rolled her large eyes in wonder.
