Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

At this moment, Rein suddenly thought of a question and turned to Vinica beside him to ask:

“Miss Vinica, the witchcraft used just now by those two members of the Swordfish Squad, are they all from the special item exchange catalog provided by the Navy?”

“Yes, Lord Rein, these two are probably Imperial Navy-trained Wizard Apprentices, quite different from a school wizard like me who learns under a mentor. Their witchcraft comes from exchanging special items,” Vinica said with certainty, recalling her impression of the two members.

“That means, if they have mission evaluation medals and Merit Points, they can exchange them for the witchcraft models they want,” Rein asked again.

“Exactly, that’s how it is,” Vinica immediately answered.

“The archer named Trevo just now, the witchcraft he used, ‘Sharpness Technique’ if I heard you correctly, belongs to the metal element, right?” Rein had subtly felt the pale silver mysterious side energy particles fluctuating at the time.

“Your perception is keen, Lord Rein. Indeed, it is the metal series ‘Sharpness Technique,’ but unfortunately, I do not know this witchcraft,” Vinica said with a hint of regret.

She thought that if she had mastered ‘Sharpness Technique,’ she would have been able to cast it on Lord Rein’s weapon during his earlier battle with Warlord.

Therefore, Vinica decided that once she got back, she would ask her mentor Master Annius if she could learn ‘Sharpness Technique.’

Although her Constitution wasn’t particularly attuned to the metal element, it didn’t prevent learning, it would simply mean the effects would be somewhat weaker.

Once learned, though, she could significantly enhance the damage of Lord Rein’s weapons in battle.

Rein nodded, his eyes flickering slightly.

Joining the Imperial Navy’s special division ‘Tide Striders’ would allow one to exchange completed special tasks for metal element witchcraft ‘Sharpness Technique.’

Thus, joining the even stronger Imperial ‘Sword Bearer’ organization would undoubtedly provide a wider range of metal element witchcraft to exchange.

Joining the Imperial ‘Sword Bearer’ is tied to the enhancement of his strength!

It seemed he needed to prepare thoroughly, perhaps should inquire about the ‘Sword Bearer’ recruitment evaluation.

While everyone was exiting the training room, suddenly, a loud shouting voice came from the distant sky!

Although the voice had become very faint by the time it reached everyone’s ears, it was still discernible as a human voice.

It seemed that because the outcry was so concentrated, despite traveling a long distance, those present could still hear it clearly.

Immediately, including Rein, everyone’s gaze turned toward the direction of the sound.

That direction was toward the sea.

Crucially, everyone was familiar with this voice, a sound like rubbing stones together—it was the voice of Baron, the captain of the Swordfish Squad and moreover, he could feel that Baron was quite angry at the moment.

The other people present immediately exchanged glances, their expressions all changing.

Obviously, the Swordfish Squad had encountered a formidable enemy.

Judging from the direction and distance of the sound, it should be in the nearby sea territory, not far from Fishing Port Town.

At this point, the gazes of the few gathered fell back upon Rein, not solely because he was the Governor of Fishing Port Town, but also because he was the most powerful individual present.

“Lord Rein, we…” Major Mary started with concern, but she stopped before continuing as a realization struck her.

She had been about to suggest rescuing the Swordfish Squad.

But she quickly grasped a problem—given that the Swordfish Squad, a special combat department of the Navy, was already finding the enemy challenging, did they really have the capacity to rescue them?

Perhaps, for safety, her first choice should be retreat, not rescue.

However, Rein didn’t hesitate much; after pondering briefly, he said, “Miss Vinica, could you trouble your White Seagull to carry out an immediate high-altitude reconnaissance over there.”

“In addition, time is pressing, so I shall head over first.”

“Wait, Lord Rein, I’ll go with you.” Vinica wasn’t afraid at all; instead, she seemed a bit excited at the thought of fighting alongside Rein again. Her energetic twin tails swished vigorously, and her pale cheeks flushed even more.

Faced with Vinica’s eagerness, Rein thought for a moment and agreed.

After all, having a Level Three Wizard Apprentice by his side for assistance was quite valuable.

“Colonel Mary, you and the Reiman brothers organize defenses at Fishing Port Town. If evacuation becomes necessary, Miss Vinica’s White Seagull will notify you in advance.”

“Understood, Baron sir!” the Reiman brothers responded crisply, as they simply had to follow Rein’s orders.

“Well then… please, both of you be careful,” although Colonel Mary agreed, her face showed worry.

However, Mary understood that she was merely a civilian staff member of the Navy; even if she was worried internally, she knew she should defer to Rein and Vinica when it came to combat.

…

By the time Rein and Vinica boarded the boat, the White Seagull that had gone for scouting had already swooped down from the sky.

After watching the White Seagull for a few seconds, Vinica’s originally rosy face suddenly turned pale and she said, “Lord Rein, the Swordfish Squad is currently battling three large sea creatures!”
