The fiery red sun ruthlessly sows heat, twisting the air.

Under the scorching sun, in a courtyard of the Iris family in Uruk City, a young-looking woman was gritting her teeth and waving the wooden sword in her hand.

This iron wood sword, which has been soaked in tung oil and blood of monsters, is no less hard than steel, but is far heavier than the standard iron sword.

The girl had been holding on with the vicious sunlight for the whole morning, and half of her body seemed to be fished out of the water.

But even though her lips were so thirsty that her lips were chapped, the girl still didn't complain. She bit her peeling lips tightly, trying to show all the sword skills she had learned to the man in front of her.

Grand Duke of Iris, Karayan Gladston.

The man who was almost overwhelmed by documents and letters all day long took a rare time to look at his daughter.

To be precise, it is to test his bloodline concentration and take a look at his child.

This is one of the few opportunities he can walk out of the study except for rest, and this means that he has never met his daughter in front of him several times.

Well, except for family banquets where he needs to be present.

"I learned well." Looking at the daughter in front of him who demonstrated various sword techniques for him all morning, Grand Duke Karayan left this sentence expressionlessly.

Although it is encouragement, there is no sign of the tone, as if it is a routine narration.

The indifferent tone even diluted a little bit of heat, making Alice a little overwhelmed.

Of course she knew how difficult it was to get a compliment from her harsh father, but his attitude seemed to tell her: "He was not as concerned about this matter as he seemed."

She closed the broken hair in her ears with some anxiety, subconsciously leaned on the wooden sword, breathed a few breaths, and had a little nervousness in her eyes.

Since she was a child, she has been told that she would become the heir to the Iris family in the future.

Although it was only a dozen, this did not prevent her from being excited.

As an heir, you must accept the assessment.

For example, this time the force test.

In other aspects, the stubborn Alice did not think she was much worse than her brothers and sisters, but in terms of strength, even she had to lower her proud head.

She really can't compete with her brothers and sisters, especially when she can't activate the mountain giant bloodline inside her body.

When others could successfully construct their extraordinary aura and awaken the blood of the mountain giants flowing in their bodies through the inscriptions of the talisman, she unexpectedly found that she could not do it.

Her bloodline concentration seems to be stuck at the critical point where she can become the heir of the family, but she cannot become a beast blooder.

It's the most embarrassing to be neither up nor down.

Taking a step back, she will become a sideline of the Iris family, and be a carefree noble lady, and even do what she wants by herself.

Furthermore, she will be expected to become the core of power in the future of the Iris family, the Grand Duke of Iris that everyone respects, and the shield of the northern border of the Kingdom of Agrat.

However, she couldn't.

The identity of the family heir restricted her like an invisible shackle, allowing her to grow up in a desperate and suffocating childhood.

However, just a slight difference in concentration made it impossible for her to become the Grand Duke of Iris.

When her peers were already in the silver rank, and even condensed into the second and third talisman inscriptions, she could never break free from the constraints of the bronze rank.

She is the only sword-type warrior among these more than ten heirs, not beast-blooded.

For the Iris family, which has a great family, this is certainly not a shame, because only the best people are qualified to become the Iris Grand Duke.

However, someone can only shivered under the glory of iris' reputation.

"Father..." Alice said timidly.

She was so nervous that she obviously noticed that Karayan was a little distracted, perhaps thinking about official duties...

"Are you resting enough?" Karayan glanced at Alice, and said in a deep voice, taking the remaining hardwood sword from the sword stand beside her, "Get started."

Just waved it a few times, and the deliberately dull sword tip made a terrifying howling sound.

The assessment has just begun.

"The next step will be to test your strength." Karayan said freely and walked slowly with a wooden sword.

The girl subconsciously took a deep breath, raised her sword quickly, and made a sword-raising pose that was so standard that there was almost no flaws.

The next moment, Karajan's long sword slowly and firmly handed to her head.

Because it was just a test of strength, his sword was slow enough to give Alice enough time to avoid it.

Of course, she couldn't jump away.

This slow sword is actually testing her strength and her sword skills - she must choose a suitable sword move to parry and resolve it.

And under Ed's careful teaching, she made a choice without hesitation.

The wooden sword accurately slashed Karayan's "weak sword body". At this moment, Alice raised the long sword and barely held Karayan's long sword. Its wooden sword blade also quietly slashed towards Karayan with an invisible rotation.

Because of this move, Alice had to face Karayan's sword with her throat. However, she took another step to the side, turned her head very aggressively, and barely avoided Karayan's sword's outbreak.

Glance, standard glimpse.

Slant your head and glance at the opponent's sword tip, and you don't have to be afraid of your throat.

Like a textbook reaction and response, there is no problem.

However, Karayan still maintained the sword force as if he had not seen the wooden sword about to be chopped on him.

It was not until this time that Alice discovered that Karajan's long sword was like cast iron and could not shake at all.

No matter how hard she tried, it would be difficult to break his sword.

Of course this is not the worst. The worst situation is that Alice never expected Karayan to dodge and rush up to her long sword.

He is his father, the Iris Grand Duke, and the extraordinary person of the Platinum rank...

At this moment, Alice couldn't help but panic.

She knew the power of this sword, which was enough to cut off the shoulder blades of ordinary people!

This is her father!

This is not a life-and-death battle, it is just a test.

Subconsciously, her long sword weakened a little bit of power.

At this moment, a huge force surged in, forcibly lowering the sword in her hand with a arrogant and unreasonable attitude.

At this moment, Alice even had some illusion, as if a mountain was pressing on her long sword!

Before she could deal with it or even have thoughts, the sword edge of the Mu Jian wiped her neck and slapped her shoulder hard.

Severe pain!

It seemed like a flash of lightning exploded on his shoulders. Alice, who had no armor, took a breath, couldn't hold the sword, and let it fall to the ground.

Karayan said with a blank expression: "You are too soft-hearted, Alice."
