“You’re out of my training starting today,” Keter said to Luke.
“Did I do something wrong, Instructor?”
“Stop calling me Instructor, kid. You’re on your own now. You’re free.”
“Why all of a sudden? At least tell me why.”
“Tsk. The next training is a mock battle for team and group combat. There are no swordsmen in Sefira, so I hired mercenaries. Do you understand now why you have to sit this one out?”
“Because there aren’t enough mercenaries? Or is it because I’m not participating in the tournament, so I don’t need to know?”

“...Sorry. It’s because of my ability, isn’t it?”
