“D*mned Devils, if I had a sword, you would all be dead!” The Sword Saint shouted while wielding a tattered wooden pole. To a Sword Artist, his weapon was akin to his life!

The Wind Rider Sword Saint was one of the Warrior Heroes. Every job had three heroes. The difference lied in the location in which they were guarding in the Mainland. The Wind Rider Sword Saint was one of them. After a particular natural disaster, the heroes together created a seal, and each of them contributed their powers to sustain the seal. The Wind Rider Sword Saint was an honest and upright person, and hence he contributed all of his powers.

After he lost all his powers, he went into hiding. However, the natural disasters seal showed signs of weakening, and thus he had no choice but to come out of hiding and try his best to ward off the monsters causing the natural disasters and look for a promising warrior to undergo his training. In time to come, becoming a disciple of the Sword Saint was a necessary requirement to have a job change to become a Legend.

“Whoosh~”

An Inferior Bronze Sword flew across, forming the trajectory of an arc, into the hands of the Wind Rider Sword Saint.

A sword was still a sword regardless of how inferior it was!

“Go to hell!” The Sword Saint shouted, as a sudden burst of the sword’s aura immediately killed all of the Fear Devils.

Lin Jie ecstatically picked up the coins on the ground. Ten monsters dropped merely 4 bronze coins. This showed how low the drop rate for the in-game coins really was.

Lin Jie respectfully said, “Hello, respected warrior.”

The Sword Saint kept hiding his real identity. If he had pretended to be smart and revealed his identity, his favorability points would have been reduced by 10. In the previous life, Lin Jie had naively done that and had learned his lesson for this time so this time. Unless the Sword Saint revealed the identity on his own, Lin Jie knew that he should never do so.

“Thank you, young man.” The Sword Saint was a stubborn person. As his hair drifted along with the wind, he continued, “You saved me. I should rightfully reward you. What do you wish for?”

‘There it is!’ Lin Jie held his breath in sharp focus.

NPCs had their own personalities. The Sword Saint’s personality was one of directness, or rather, bluntness. Take the current situation as an example, if one shyly said, “It is only right to help you.” Then they would not have gotten anything in return.

On the other hand, if one wished for too much, they would not only not get what they wanted, their favorability points would also get deducted.

“I want to learn the way of the sword,” Lin Jie said in a serious tone.

“Sure.” The Sword Saint nodded his head and continued, “The way of the sword lies in being agile…”

‘Ding~’

—’The Anonymous Sword Artist explained to you the skills of using the sword, your attacks while equipped with a sword will now deal +3 damage. You have learned [Blade Aura Executioner]’

—’The Anonymous Swordman’s favorability towards you has increased by 10 points.’

“Young man, I hope you practice diligently and may we meet again.” The Sword Saint smiled and made an elegant exit.

Lin Jie was thrilled.

In his previous life, the first player who accepted the Sword Saint’s quest was also the one who had received the Heritage Cape, Ophadi Wantless. He was said to have obtained a treasure map and from there unearthed a Skill Book. But so what? It was utter trash compared to the personal coaching provided by the Sword Saint himself!

— Blade Aura Executioner: Level 1, Familiarity 0/3000. Active ability, once activated, your attacks drain 3 mana and gain the Blade Aura, increasing damage by 10%.

That ability’s crux did not lie in its damage. It was a symbol of acceptance by the Sword Saint himself. Although he kept a low profile, in the eyes of an NPC, he was a hero. As long as he cast that skill, he could show off in front of powerful NPCs.

Only after waiting for the Sword Saint to leave did Lin Jie return to the Town of Meyer. The Captain respectfully bowed and said, “Thank you, human. You have helped us rescue three of our brave soldiers.”

‘Ding~’

—’You have gained 200 experience points. You have gained 30 bronze coins. You have gained 200 points of popularity from the Town of Meyer.’

—’Your favorability in the eyes of the Town of Meyer’s Captain has increased by 50.’

Gaining the favor of the Captain was the biggest reward of this quest!
