The matter of resolving the monsters that appeared in Orario received different evaluations from different people. Moreover, since it was not a regular Guild request, the Guild did not publicize the matter.
In addition, Takatsuki resolved the monsters very quickly, and most of those who saw Takatsuki take action were from the Ganesha Familia. After the chief god Ganesha went back and instructed those members not to leak the matter, basically no one paid attention to who defeated those monsters and caused the destruction in the city.
Incidentally, Takatsuki had initially thought that the Guild would hold him responsible for the city's destruction, or at least verbally reprimand him. However, the Guild did not come to hold him accountable. Instead, they sent a familiar face to deliver the Guild's reward to the Hestia Familia.
"Because this matter cannot be publicized, we can only distribute the rewards privately. This is a reward personally decided by Ouranos, please accept it."
In the reception room, Hestia, along with the other members of the Familia, received the Guild's envoy, Eina, who was also Bell's adventurer advisor.
A wrapped box was placed on the table.
"Oh, thank you for the trouble, Advisor-kun. Let me see what reward that Ouranos fellow gave."
Among those present, only Hestia could say such a thing. Although it seemed impolite, there were too many self-willed gods in Orario, and she was just one of them.
Hestia directly opened the box sent by the Guild, and inside was unmistakably a…
"Is this… a Grimoire?"
To Hestia's somewhat uncertain tone, Eina nodded affirmatively: "The Guild heard that the Hestia Familia has recently been acquiring Grimoires, so they specifically chose this as a reward."
"Ah, thank you so much, Advisor-kun." Hestia also knew that Grimoires were very precious, and these were even from the Guild's inventory, much better than what they bought outside. After accepting the Grimoire, she turned to Bell, who was sitting on the side, and said: "Bell, take Advisor-kun around. I also need to go out; today is the God's Assembly."
Eina was theoretically their adventurer advisor, but among everyone present, Bell was the most familiar with her. Everyone could see that Eina had unusual feelings for Bell, so they left the space for the two of them.
Perhaps because of the big commotion yesterday, not only Eina from the Guild came to visit today, but also two people from the Loki Familia.
To be honest, Takatsuki was really startled when he saw Ais visiting early in the morning.
"Why did you come so early?"
Ais had come almost before dawn.
"Morning exercise."
So, sometimes Takatsuki didn't know if Ais actually listened to what he said, because sometimes she completely ignored what he said, like telling her to rest early.
But some things he just casually mentioned, and she would listen very seriously.
For example, when he mentioned yesterday that they would do morning exercises every morning.
"Alright then, come in."
There was no need for Takatsuki to keep Ais outside, but incidentally,
"Stop hiding, you come in too."
After Ais walked into the courtyard, Takatsuki continued to speak to the outside, but received no response.
Turning to look at Takatsuki, Ais said nothing and looked outside, but saw no one.
"Oh, Lefiya, stop hiding. I've already found you."
Seeing that the shy young girl was clearly still holding onto a glimmer of hope, Takatsuki directly called out her name.
"Stop hiding under that awning."
Under the gaze of both Ais and Takatsuki, a young Elf girl holding a staff with both hands walked out.
"Ahaha, what a coincidence, Ais-san."
"Lefiya, why are you here?"
Looking at the appearing Lefiya, Ais hadn't reacted to the reason yet. After a short while, she suddenly realized: "Are you here to train too?"
"Train… Ah! Yes, I also…"
Just as Lefiya was about to take advantage of the situation, Takatsuki mercilessly interrupted her: "You're clearly following her, aren't you? Lefiya is a mage, what use is training with us for her? She might as well learn from Riveria."
"Following? Why?"
Ais's way of thinking couldn't comprehend why her companion Lefiya would follow her, so she looked at Lefiya.
"That… that…"
"Because you're worried I'll do something bad to you."
Takatsuki answered for her again.
"Something bad? What is it?" Ais turned to Takatsuki: "Will Teacher do something bad to me?"
This question made Takatsuki roll his eyes.
"Of course not. Alright, stop talking nonsense, come in."
Although Takatsuki wouldn't do anything, it didn't mean others wouldn't, though it wouldn't be anything bad…
"Lefiya~"
"Ah!"
After leading them to the training ground, Kiana immediately spotted Lefiya hiding behind Takatsuki and Ais.
For some reason, Kiana seemed very interested in the elves from other worlds, but Riveria was too serious for her to dare to overstep, and Eina's personality was somewhat similar. In contrast, Lefiya, who was completely a little girl, perfectly fit Kiana's preferences.
Furthermore, Lefiya's personality was very soft, and she dared not resist Kiana's teasing at all.
"Hello, Miss Ais."
"Hello."
In contrast, things were much more normal with the others. Since they had already met before, they simply exchanged greetings.
The morning training with Ais joining in was actually not much different from the original.
The training of Edge of Taixuan mainly focused on refining the mind. Sword techniques and fist arts were merely ways to unleash its power. In reality, Edge of Taixuan itself was not constrained by form.
Therefore, after the initial training ended, there was no need to include it in the daily morning training. The main focus of the morning training now was the Navy Six Powers taught by Takatsuki.
Compared to the sword techniques and fist arts that Fu Hua knew, the Six Powers were simpler and more direct, and highly practical in many situations.
For example, with Moonwalk, although Fu Hua possessed movement techniques similar to light-body martial arts, light-body martial arts still required leverage; she couldn't simply step on her own left foot with her right to achieve it.
Moonwalk, however, was simply an unreasonable act of stepping on air.
As always, after practicing the Six Powers, Fu Hua continued her own training. Although she had been practicing like this for tens of thousands of years, Fu Hua still did basic training every day: gun, sword, fist, whip…
She also didn't mind others observing or even secretly learning from her.
Ais, who had originally only come to learn the Six Powers, made another request to Fu Hua after seeing her morning training routine.
"Please teach me sword techniques!"
