Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as a Beast Race-Chapter 131 - Swords, Magic and Ambition

POV Rygar Adoldia

A lot has happened in the last eight months since we arrived here.

The Sword Sanctuary had a unique environment, an atmosphere charged with sharp intentions and a passion for combat.

Everyone here was constantly seeking to strengthen themselves, refine their skills, and test their limits.

There was no shortage of training partners. On the contrary, every day new challengers emerged, eager to test their strength.

At first, my presence was met with a certain degree of hostility, mainly due to the "arrogance" I showed when I first encountered the Sword God.

And on top of that, many looked upon a stranger arriving and being directly accepted as a disciple by the Sword God with disfavor. Even though I was with Ghislaine, many did not accept it.

Several of them even became dissatisfied with Ghislaine no longer bowing to the Sword God. But Gall Farion himself didn't mind much; he seemed quite excited about the idea of teaching me everything he knew.

But, over time and through living together, that resistance dissipated.

I won the favor of many through respect, strength, and absolute power.

However, there were also those who harbored envy and resentment toward the talent I demonstrated.

I kept my promise to focus on my physical evolution and the strengthening of my touki while I was at the Sword Sanctuary.

Magic continued to be a small part of my daily training, but fencing occupied most of my time.

I even spent entire days immersed solely in the practice of swordsmanship, seeking to refine every strike, every parry, every movement.

Even so, I did not bother to hide my magical proficiency, and that generated a wide range of reactions once it became public knowledge. Some saw me with admiration, others with respect, and others with fear.

There were also those who felt envy and even some with a strange fanaticism.

One of the Saints of the Sword even asked me to teach him the Beast God Style, which I openly demonstrated while training with Ghislaine and teaching her.

Since Gall Farion did not oppose, I accepted, even though I did not devote much attention to his training.

Over time, he gathered a small group of followers who began to act as a faction within the dojo.

To prevent this faction from becoming a problem, I delegated some trivial tasks to them, such as ensuring that Skoll and Ezkalor received water regularly.

My two monstrous companions were living on a nearby mountain.

Skoll seemed dedicated to his own training, while Ezkalor, true to his nature, spent most of his time sleeping.

When I passed by, I forced him to practice his flight, and he was gradually improving.

As for me, my training was diverse and intense.

Under the supervision of the Sword God, I refined my skills in the Sword God Style.

At the same time, I learned the concepts of the North God Style with Auber Corvette and deepened my knowledge of the Water God Style with Reida Reia.

Simultaneously, I worked on consolidating the Beast God Style, which was taking on its own shape and identity. With so many powerful opponents around me, a challenge was never lacking.

Ghislaine was also on her path to improvement. She trained hard under the supervision of the Sword God, and in our last bouts, I noticed that her speed was almost comparable to that of Timothy, one of the Sword Emperors.

If she continued at that pace, by next year she would be ready to challenge one of the Emperors for the title.

In the Beast God Style, her progress was even more impressive. With the style already well-structured, she mastered its fundamentals with expertise.

If I had to classify her strength within this art, I would consider her a "Beast Saint". However, I still needed to establish more concrete parameters for this hierarchy.

Another significant breakthrough was managing to convince Ghislaine to try to better control her Magical Power Eye.

Despite its extreme utility in combat, she had never fully explored its potential.

If mastered properly, it could become one of her greatest advantages in battle.

Eris was growing like never before.

She took very seriously the promise that said if she could defeat me without me using Touki, she could help in the fight against the Dragon God.

And so, she frequently challenged me to duels. However, to her misfortune, this was also the time of my greatest physical growth.

My body was strengthening rapidly, and my physical strength alone was already enough to defeat Sword Saints even before arriving here.

But it wasn't just brute strength—I also had much more combat experience and sharp senses that gave me an advantage against her.

Even so, Eris was catching up at an alarming rate. It was like a constant race; every day, I grew stronger, but if Eris continued at that speed of growth, she would inevitably catch up with me and eventually surpass me in that regard.

After all, even if I were strong, without Touki, I couldn't use refined techniques like Flow or the Longsword of Light. I had to rely purely on strength.

Even if my strength continued to grow, there would come a point when I could no longer defeat her. But, for now, that was still manageable.

Eris trained almost as intensely as I did. But unlike me, who learned the Water God Style with Reida, she spent most of her time fighting against Isolte Cruel.

The two were practically balanced, with neither consistently gaining victories over the other.

Their battles were fierce, drawing spectators in the Dojo almost every time they occurred.

Eris also learned the Sword God Style directly from Gall Farion and absorbed some techniques from the North God Style with Auber Corvette.

Her progress was evident, and with each duel I observed, I saw a warrior refining herself more and more, like a blade being carefully sharpened.

In the months that passed, I began to truly admire the will that always burned within that girl. Like an unquenchable flame.

Aisha, on the other hand, was the one who experienced the greatest growth among the group.

During this period, she became the youngest Saint-level mage in history.

Her fifth birthday was approaching, only a few days away, but about three months ago, she came to me with a determined expression. "I want to be the youngest Saint-level mage in history!" she told me.

Apparently, she had heard countless times about how her older brother, Rudeus, had reached Saint level at five, and that motivated her to surpass him.

At that time, she already had an impressive mana reserve for her age and mastered almost all the Advanced-level spells I knew.

Not with mastery, but enough to cast them reliably.

Her natural affinity for magic was astounding, but I wasn't sure if her mana reserve would be enough for a Saint-level spell.

As a solution, I suggested she use Night Hunter as a focus, thereby reducing the required amount of mana.

With her fierce determination, Aisha accepted the challenge and studied and trained hard to make it happen.

And then, on her third attempt, she succeeded.

She cast Cumulonimbus, the Saint-level water school spell, marking her name in history as the youngest to achieve such a feat.

The pride I felt at that moment was indescribable.

My heart filled with admiration and anticipation for Aisha's future.

As recognition for her achievement and the effort she demonstrated daily, I prepared a special gift for her upcoming fifth birthday in a few days.

But magic wasn't the only path Aisha was treading.

She had also begun learning fencing, training simultaneously in the three great styles—Sword God, Water God, and North God.

The goal was to see in which one she had the greatest compatibility, and so far, her performance in all was impressive; she was also learning some basic techniques of the Beast God Style.

Her rapid learning and keen intelligence made any challenge something she could overcome with effort and dedication.

On top of all that, Aisha also managed something that few would: permission to enter the Ephemeral Hall.

Gall Farion, despite his strict rules, made this exception for her. "Technically, she can already be considered a Saint, so why not?"—he said with a mischievous smile.

Of course, this didn't happen solely because of her talent.

Aisha, with her natural wit and cuteness, knew how to slowly manipulate the situation, winning the favor of many within the Sword Sanctuary.

Every day that passed, she became smarter and more cunning, a trait that, without a doubt, she inherited from her mother.

With that, our routine at the Sword Sanctuary continued intensely, filled with battles, learnings, and growth.

Gall Farion and Reida Reia appeared very enthusiastic and excited to teach me.

The Sword God tried to convince me to use the Water God Style only as an auxiliary and to focus on becoming the fastest blade.

He seemed eager for me to become faster than him. More than that, he seemed eager for me to become faster than Orsted.

He watched me closely and, at times, one could notice a nostalgic glimmer in his eyes.

As if he saw in me his young, strong, and ambitious self.

However, at the same time, the faster I became, I could feel a silent conflict growing within him.

Reida, on the other hand, taught me the five secret techniques of the Water God Style with dedication.

She told me that if I really focused on this style, I could even be the next Reidar and master all five techniques, becoming the second in history to achieve such a feat after the first Reidar.

It was hard to ignore her excitement when she talked about it.

Auber, for his part, simply taught me and Eris in a casual manner. He came to help out as a favor to the Sword God.

Honestly, he seemed to be a little afraid of me, although he tried not to show it.

Even so, I still had a lot to learn from him. His techniques were truly mysterious and, despite his lack of enthusiasm in teaching us, when he demonstrated his skills, it was impressive.

In any case, the Sword Sanctuary, in the last few months, was buzzing with activity.

During this period, I received some letters from my master Verdia, from Taes, Kilian, and others. I also sent some back.

However, due to the great distance, I did not know exactly what was happening in Milis at that moment.

From the latest messages, despite the growing conflicts with Milis, the Iron Legion was thriving more than ever. That made me happy.

Along with the letters, some warriors from the Iron Legion also arrived to train at the Sword Sanctuary.

When they saw me, they were absolutely shocked by my strength.

They had already heard about my feats along the way, but when they saw me with their own eyes, they were extremely impressed.

Still, they brought several news items from the Great Forest.

The mating season had also arrived again. The truth was that I always had energy, all year round, and Ghislaine and I, now having a private space, did it all the time.

But during mating season, my desire was particularly strong.

This led to an incident a few days ago.

I was fighting Eris and, mind you, Eris was thirteen.

She was beginning to mature as time passed and, as my desire was at its peak and my body was still that of an adolescent, even after having spent the previous night with Ghislaine, I still became aroused.

Of course, I made sure Eris didn't notice, and after that, I went to Ghislaine and we had sex again.

Ghislaine still accompanied me in bed; although it was tiring, she seemed to enjoy it.

But how long would that continue? And when I turned fifteen or eighteen? I knew Ghislaine liked it, but I also didn't want to overwhelm her with my infinite desire.

Although, for now, that wasn't a big concern.

Well, changing the subject.

At this moment, I am concealing my Touki with a technique from the North God Style, and watching two young people outside the training area of the Sword Saints.

They were training in one of the training fields where advanced-level warriors trained.

One of them was Nina Farion, training with dedication.

The other was a boy of nine or ten years old. He was training... or rather, being beaten by Nina.

He was the son of the Sword Emperor Timothy Britz, his name was Jino Britz.
