"Hey, Sylvie!" you call out as you race down the hallway after her. "Wait up!"
"Huh?" Sylvie turns around just as you finally catch up with her. "Oh... you didn't have to run, you know. We -are- going to the same place."
"Yeah, but I didn't want you to think that-" you sigh. "....never mind."
"You're really weird sometimes, you know?"

Once you catch your breath, the two of you resume walking to the library.

"It really is nice to be back home where it's safe..." Sylvie says.
"You can say that again," you nod.
"My mother nearly lost it when I told her exactly what went down during that attack the other day," she sighs. "And then she blew up at UNcle Thierri for putting me in danger... I told her that it wasn't his fault, and then she went off on my father for letting it happen through his not being there," she shakes her head.
"Uh... she sounds really protective of you."
"Oh, she is," Sylvie nods. "I get more leeway since I'm older, but she's really strict about where my little sisters are allowed to go and who they're allowed to be around."

"Though that's mostly because Racquel's a pervert and Mom's scared that she'll run off with the first guy she finds who isn't creeped out by her," Sylvie says, rolling her eyes.
"Yeah, I can understand that," you say with a nervous chuckle.
"Still, though... that whole scary incident made me realize how much further I have to go. I'm gonna need to work a lot harder if I want to be able to get on my father's level..."

"I know you've said that his magical reserves are so huge that just casting Spirit Field encased him in solid rock, so umm... how exactly is anybody supposed to ever catch up with a guy THAT strong?" you ask.
"Eheheh... I don't expect to get -exactly- as strong as him, I just want to be on the same level as him one day, you know?" Sylvie shrugs. "To be strong enough that I'd never have to worry about getting hurt."

She makes it sound like he's invincible or something.

"How'd he get so strong, anyways?" you ask. "Is it just from being huge?"
"Umm..." Sylvie scratches her head. "...luck, I guess? Uncle Thierri and Uncle Raoul first met him when he beat up a bear that was trying to eat them when they were out travelling in the woods one day, so he was always really strong... he must've done that just with his bare hands, since it wasn't until later that they taught him magic."

"Well," you stare at her. "I guess that's definitely a good way to make a first impression."
"Yup!" Sylvie chirps. "Uncle Thierri thought he was like the coolest guy ever, and they've been best friends ever since!"

She's definitely proud of her old man, that's for sure.

"Started out a wildman in the middle of the woods, and then he ended up marrying a princess..." Sylvie says. "Pretty good, huh?"
"Yeah, I'd definitely say so," you nod. "Uh..."

And then you reach the library. Just as Emilio and a very wet Karel are leaving.

Emilio looks pretty guilty, giving the drenched Karel a wide berth as she exits the library while... is that a towel?

"Hey," you wave to them. "Did something happen?"
"Umm, good evening, Reinhold," Emilio says with a weak smile. "We were in the middle of a magic lesson, and..."
"And I screwed up," Karel mumbles. "Made a field of raindrops around myself and then lost concentration and ended up drenching myself."
"Oh, so that's what the towel's for," you say.
"Are you going to be okay?" Sylvie asks. "I mean, I can dry you off right now if you want... just take off that towel and I'll-"
"No, it's fine," Karel shakes her head. "I'll just go and change my clothes..."
"Seriously, it's no trouble at all for me to-"
"Let it go," Emilio shakes his head, "He's in a pretty bad mood now, not that I can blame him."

"Oh..." Sylvie mumbles, a guilty look on her face. "Sorry to bother you then."
"It's fine," Karel sighs. "I should have been more careful to start with."
"I guess we should probably let you go before you end up catching a cold or something," you say, stepping aside for the two to get by.

As Emilio and Karel walk past you, you notice that Karel's blushing slightly... and looking at the way that the bits of clothing that aren't covered with the towel are sticking to her, you can definitely understand why.

And so, the two of you enter the library... just in time to see Gerhard mopping up water over in the corner. It's probably not the best idea to bother him.

"Alright..." Sylvie walks over to a nearby table and flips through a book that was resting on it. "...did you have anything specific that you wanted to learn today?"

Ah, yes, the fabled Meido Wing. It's said that fewer than 10 maids in a generation are capable of learning it.

"How about Fragment Blader?" you ask.

That was what you were going to learn on -that day-, after all.

"Alright, I can do that," Sylvie nods. "Nicolette has her pendant for Fragment Lancer that she got from her father, and the only spell that Uncle Thierri is any good with is Fragment Tomahawk..."
"So now I'll be the one with the sword variant," you say.
"I guess so," she nods.

After flipping through another book that was left on the table (maybe by Gerhard?), Sylvie writes something on a piece of paper before turning to you.

"Umm, you do know that the swords that this spell makes are pretty crude, right?" Sylvie asks.
"Yeah," you nod. "I mainly wanted to learn it just in case I get disarmed or something."
"Alright, good. That's what the spell was originally designed for, anyways."

question arch, could the sword wing spell be used for swording instead of/in addition to flight

>>32726042
Well, we can also use it to make throwing weapons in a pinch, and if we get some practice in using two swords we can catch people off guard with it.

>>32726207
Silver Drift is not a sword wing spell.

>>32726241

>>32726042

"So, umm..." Sylvie begins, "The inspiration for this spell was from when Prosegana, one of the Old Kings, fashioned one of his own claws into a sword and gave it to his contractor so that he could get revenge on the evil dragon Arnsa-" she cuts herself off. "S- sorry, you probably don't even care about stuff like that."
"I'm actually in the middle of reading a book about him," you reply. "Prosegana, I mean."
"Oh, really?" her eyes widen with surprise. "Oh, but I probably spoiled something... J- just forget what I just mentioned and let's get to work!"

After looking it over a final time, Sylvie hands you the paper that she had been writing on.

"Here's the incantation," Sylvie says. "Even though Fragment Blader can't make anything really high-quality or anything, it does have a lot of variation. Swords, knives... pretty much anything with that basic shape."
"So I'd be able to make stuff like throwing knives once I get a hang of it?" you ask.
"Yup!"

The question isn't how to fly--it's how to approximate flying to the point where it doesn't matter.

All we have to do is make a spell that attaches us to something, and then throws it really hard, and then lets us enter a controlled fall (or at least protects us from damage) when we want to land.

Picking up the paper that Sylvie gave to you, you look over the incantation that's written on it.

"Come to my aid, oh beast of steel. Place within my hand the sword of kings, and let us rend asunder all which stands before us."

Well that at least -seems- to be pretty straightforward.

"The 'beast of steel' part refers to Prosegana, who was made of metal," Sylvie says. "Though you're reading the book and all, so you already knew that."
"Yeah, I figured as much."
"And the 'sword of kings' part is where you can vary the type of weapon that you make... but you should probably just focus on making a sword for now."
Gotcha."
"So, umm..."

Sylvie gets up from her seat and takes a few steps away from you.

"...make sure to position the hand that you're going to try and materialize the sword in so that you'll be able to catch the thing when it appears," Sylvie says. "I don't think that Mr. Gerhard ould appreciate us gouging up the library floor, after all."
"Alright," you say as you rise to your feet.

Take a few steps away from anything that might accidentally get stabbed... hold out the hand that you want the sword to appear in so that you won't have to worry about stabbing yourself...

"Come to my aid, oh beast of steel," you chant as glowing red Script flickers into existence around you. "Place within my hand the sword of kings, and let us rend asunder all which stands before us."

"Fragment Blader!" you shout, invoking the spell.

A small sphere of metal appears from nowhere and floats just within you grasp before stretching out in the shape of a crude hilt. Figuring that you should probably catch it before you end up with a sword embedded in the floor, you take hold of it just as a blade begins to form...

Well, it IS linked.

The other one isn't...

Almost as if it was a living thing, metal sprouts from the hilt that you're holding in your hand and stretches out into a long stalk. You actually feel your arm tensing in order to support the weight of the weapon as it continues on and on, not stopping until it's nearly five feet long. From there, you watch in awe as the metal flattens and hones itself into a fine edge... though you do notice the odd chipping here and there.

While this seemed to be going in slow motion for you, this entire process took place within the span of a few seconds... and now you're holding an extremely large sword in your hand.

"Oh wow..." Sylvie says, staring at the newly-created sword in your hand. "It certainly is impressive, especially for a weapon created with Fragment Blader... but isn't that kind of, umm, unwieldy?"
"I was just trying to focus on making as good a sword as I could," you reply, "but yeah, this is kind of really heavy."

"Is it supposed to be curved like that?"

alright, enough with the 'sword' jokes.

>>32727144

As you check the weight and handling of the sword that you just made, you notice that its balance is kind of... well, it's pretty awful to be perfectly honest. Not to mention that the handle is just a piece of metal with no covering, which would be pretty rough on your hands in a prolonged fight.

But then again, this spell is only meant as a temporary stopgap. And you think that this is pretty good for a first try!

"So what do you think?" you ask.
"I think that I'm definitely happy that my little sister isn't here to see that..." Sylvie mutters under her breath. "...but you did really well, Reinhold!"

You spend the next hour trying to memorize the spell so you'll be able to use it at will. You also practice casting it a few more times, but both you and Sylvie are rather worried about creating a ton of many junk swords that someone would have to deal with so you limit yourself to just five castings.

"I guess that's it for today, then..." Sylvie says as she gathers her things together.
"Thanks for the help," you reply. "Now I have one less thing to worry about."
"And you don't have to worry about those swords, I'll take care of those," Gerhard says, appearing out of nowhere.
"S... sure," you say with a weak laugh. "Now that's two less things to worry about."

With that, you and Sylvie leave the library and part ways...

We should get a cart and station it below our window and mark it "disposal cart, stay clear and beware falling swords"

Make it easy on the staff.

It's kind of frustrating how Karel obviously won't be able to keep up the charade eternally but we can't say anything without seeming like a pressuring asshole.

>>32727637

Ah.

And this is the day Reinhold wasted his shot at truly becoming a great swordsman, for he would take the bad habit of devouring Ariane's delicious meals instead of training.

And later, Reinhold "The Fat" Eschenwald would look with envy at Nicolette becoming a full-fledged knight, who will be muttering "just as planned".

Karel looked kind of shaken up when you saw her earlier... it might be a good to see how she's doing.

But then you remember that you never actually bothered to find out where her room is.

After asking the closes maid (who was very spooked by you speaking to her), you were successful in procuring directions to your fellow bodyguard's lodgings and head straight there.

First door... second door... ah, there it is. At least, you're pretty sure this is it.

"Who's there?" Karel's voice calls out from inside the room. Though it's muffled, you can definitely make out that she sounds annoyed.
"It's Reinhold!" you shout back.
".........go ahead and come on in."

Having been given permission to enter, the enchantment on the door's locks releases and you're able to successfully enter Karel's room. Looking around, you see that most of her stuff's still packed away...

...and that she's nowhere to be seen. But you do hear water running from the bathroom.

"Karel?" you call out.
"Yeah, I'm right here," she replies from inside the bathroom. "You showed up while I was in the middle of getting changed, so jut wait a minute... you -are- alone, right?"
"Yeah."
"Good."

And then she steps out of the bathroom in a pair of what you assume are pajama pants... but the only thing she's wearing on her upper half are cloth wrappings.

"Uh-" you stammer before spinning around in order to keep from staring. "Sorry, I didn't know that you were-"
"Whatever, it's not like I give a damn anymore," she sighs. "Not when it comes to YOU, anyways."
"I'm still a guy, you know..." you mumble. "You should be more careful ab-"
"About what? I've seen girls casually walking around wearing less than I am right now, and you're like the last person who would try anything funny."

It is true that you're used to seeing a lot worse, but there's still the matter of...

"Just turn around already and stop being such a pussy," Karel says, throwing a pillow at you. "It's not like you've never seen tits before, right?"
"No," you reply, turning around to send a return pillow volley at her, "but it's still really freaking awkward to-"

Oh. She's buttoning up her shirt. Thank God.

"What, you were expecting me to just lounge around topless?" Karel rolls her eyes. "Even with your pushy forced 'big brother' act, there's no way I'd actually do that."
"That's a relief," you reply as you launch the pillow she hit you with right back into her face.

Ignoring your pillow attack, Karel tosses it aside before walking up to you.

"So what exactly did you want, anyways?" she asks.

"I just wanted to see if you were okay, since you seemed pretty down back when we ran into you outside the library," you say. "Emilio didn't find out about you being a girl, did he?"
"Thanks to Gerhard, he didn't," Karel breathes a sigh of relief. "I never thought I'd be appreciative of some weirdo watching me all the time like some kind of stalker, but he did save my ass back there."
"Oh, so he was the one who gave you that towel?"
"Yeah... I guess this is just one more thing that I owe him for."

Gerhard -is- a lot nicer than he first lets on.

"That was still a pretty close call though," you say. "Considering what happened just now and how -I- found out that you're a girl, don't you think it might be a good idea to wear a breastplate or something?" you ask. "Or at least go to Niklaus and ask him to waterproof your clothes so you won't have to worry about sudden rainstorms or something similar..."
"Yeah, I know," Karel grumbles. "I just hate how heavy metal armor can get, though."
"Getting found out's a lot worse than being uncomfortable, you know."
"God, you're as bad as my Mom..."
