The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 110

Title: The Blonde-Haired, Golden-Eyed Girl

Early morning.

A spring breeze with a slight chill slowly arrived, causing the variously colored flowers in the courtyard to sway continuously. The golden full moon fell from the sky, replaced by a mesmerizing moon slowly rising from the eastern horizon.

The pillar-shaped magic lamps scattered around the fortress were manually turned off by patrolling Familia members. The descending sun’s warmth drove away the night’s chill.

Hoshiharu opened his bedroom window, and the cold wind suddenly hit his face, making him shiver.

“Oh, at least the weather is around March.”

He couldn’t help but rub his shoulders.

This was his room.

After officially joining the Loki Familia yesterday, Finn had given him a bedroom, located at the western end of the seven-ringed towers, an empty room on the fourth floor. He spent half an afternoon cleaning it before it was livable.

His bedroom wasn’t very large, only about 30 to 40 square meters. Fortunately, it was a single room, equipped with a wardrobe, mirror, bed, and other furniture, so he could move in with just a bag.

There was also a portable magic lamp. He fumbled with it for a few minutes last night before figuring out how to use it.

After opening all the curtains, folding all the white bedding, and changing into sports clothes, Hoshiharu left the room, climbed the spiral staircase inside the tower wall to the first floor, and then walked toward the main entrance.

“Hey, Tiona, are you guarding the door here?”

Hoshiharu looked at Tiona, who was acting as the doorkeeper, with a warm smile on his face.

“Ah, Hoshiharu, it’s you!”

Tiona was holding an astonishingly large double-edged sword, leaning against the iron door, moving her head slightly, with a sleepy expression on her face.

Seeing Hoshiharu approaching, she suddenly became energetic and greeted him with a bright face.

Yesterday, after learning that Tiona had entered the ring without permission to fight Hoshiharu, Finn gave her the punishment of “guarding the door every night for three days” with a bright smile.

That’s right, Finn actually didn’t allow Tiona to test Hoshiharu’s strength at all.

The reason Tiona went on stage to fight Hoshiharu was purely out of selfish motives. Her goal was to win over Hoshiharu and make him fall for her.

“It’s starting to get dark, and the shift change is coming. Go back and get a good rest.”

After saying a few polite words to Tiona, Hoshiharu walked out of the Familia gate.

‘He cares about me!’

‘He has me in his heart!’

Tiona was very happy, the fatigue from not sleeping all night suddenly disappeared, and she felt she could last another day!

She waved her hand and bid farewell to Hoshiharu, who could no longer see her back.

After walking out of the main entrance.

Hoshiharu did some warm-up exercises for two minutes and then began running along the path around the Familia members.

His form, which combined sprinting and jogging, could place a great load on the heart and lungs and improve cardiopulmonary function.

As his body gradually started to move, heat gradually rose from his body, blocking the morning cold air. Only the cold air continuously inhaled while breathing stimulated his lungs.

Running for thirty minutes and circling the Familia’s surroundings eight times.

By the time he ran to the Familia gate for the last time, Tiona had disappeared. The gatekeepers had been replaced by two new guards.

The guards obviously recognized Hoshiharu. On the contrary, it would be hard to forget him.

Both were a little surprised by his persistence in training in the morning. They didn’t embarrass him and warmly welcomed him into the Familia.

The atmosphere in the Loki Familia was quite good.

Hoshiharu understood this because many people helped him clean his room yesterday.

Although he didn’t know much about other Familias, there was indeed a harmonious atmosphere in this Familia, like a family, making him secretly praise that he had come to the right place.

After all, in the original work, this Familia seemed to have important plotlines, and there seemed to be specific external stories. It had been a long time, and he couldn’t remember, but joining this Familia was definitely the right choice.

After returning to the courtyard, Hoshiharu stopped near the fountain. After resting for a while, he called out the Nameless Sword when no one was around.

After physical exercise, it was time for sword practice.

Swordsmanship was like sailing against the current; if you don’t advance, you retreat. He needed to practice diligently every day to ensure his skills didn’t deteriorate and his hands and feet didn’t become stiff.

*WHOOSH*

The blade cut through the air, and the sound of wind could be heard.

The first was basic swordsmanship, a total of nine horizontal and vertical moves. After letting his hands and feet move freely, Hoshiharu began practicing his sword skills.

There was actually a lot of room for improvement in swordsmanship like <<Flickering Light and Passing Shadows>>, modified from <<Trackless Step>>. If unnecessary wrist movements could be reduced, this move could become smoother and harder to counter.

There were also things like the self-taught <<Devil Light Flowing Blade>> and <<Tai Chi Sword>>, etc. In fact, they were not considered to have reached a high level.

In addition, he actually had several sword techniques in development, requiring continuous practice to perfect them.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a strong enough swordsmanship opponent.

If he could have a great opponent and spark inspiration during constant duels, Hoshiharu would be able to create new sword techniques at a faster pace.

“Hm?”

While practicing his sword, Hoshiharu suddenly felt a gaze.

The gaze was directed at him, without deviation or intent to move away, as if the owner of the gaze was very focused on him.

Hoshiharu stopped and looked toward the direction of the gaze.

It was a room in the east of the seven circular towers, also a room on the fourth floor.

From the window, Hoshiharu saw a girl.

A white nightgown wrapped around her slender body, and her slender face looked delicate even from a distance. Her appearance was as beautiful as a goddess, and her long golden hair was as soft as golden sand.

A girl with a figure that could steal the attention of all witnesses now directed her golden eyes full of transparent light toward the young man standing in the courtyard, making even the gods feel embarrassed.

Her eyes were not calm as if she was unintentionally glancing, but showing will, a will that seemed to care.

They looked at each other.

No one spoke.

Who are you?

Such a meaning appeared in Hoshiharu’s eyes.

The girl seemed a bit indifferent, her pink lips moved twice, but she still didn’t speak.

Then she moved quietly and left the window. Her long, unkempt golden hair formed arcs like waves in the air and then disappeared from Hoshiharu’s sight.

“Is she interested in my sword practice?”

Hoshiharu rubbed his chin and guessed with enlightenment.

The girl’s eyes didn’t seem interested in his appearance. Her eyes were not obsessed but calm.

Maybe, she was a girl very similar to him in some ways.
