Marvel Ultimate Gacha-Chapter 95: Training with Piaro

Piaro, the Captain of the Red Knights, was once a great figure. However, one day, as he and his knights rode to the Empire, they found their families slaughtered—branded as traitors for crimes they never committed.

Among the victims was Piaro's own wife and child, taken from him due to Asmophel's schemes. From that day on, Piaro lost everything. He fled the Empire, his once glorious days fading into mere existence. He spent his time drifting, wasting away, clinging to his hatred for Asmophel, the traitor who had destroyed his life.

Yet now, after spending a week with Blade, something within him had begun to stir—the stone-cold heart that had long been frozen started to thaw.

At first, Piaro never paid attention to Blade. The boy trained with his sword from dawn till dusk, his hands bleeding from relentless practice. But then he didn't rested, instead He chopped wood, sculpted crude figures, and even tried his hand at blacksmithing—yet Piaro remained indifferent.

But then, one day, Piaro found Blade digging for minerals deep within Kesan Canyon.

Piaro was confused. He couldn't comprehend what Blade was doing. One moment, he was focused on a single task, then suddenly shifting to another, all while seemingly excelling at everything he attempted.

"What are you doing?" Piaro finally asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Blade replied as he carefully carved a piece of wood in his hand.

He had moved on from mining to wood carving, and in his palm now lay a finely crafted bunny sculpture—a piece so well-made that it could easily win the hearts of girls.

[A Fine Piece – Common Rating]

Blade's sculptures were categorized also into main ranks: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Unique, and Legendary. But Each rank had further classifications based on quality: Fine Piece, Extraordinary, Masterpiece, and Magnum Opus.

And they didn't just increase stats for Blade—his sculptures granted stat boosts to anyone who saw them based on their quality.

Fine Piece → +1 stat increase in all their stats.

Extraordinary → +2 stat increase.

Masterpiece → +4 stat increase.

Grand Masterpiece → +8 stat increase.

Magnum Opus → +10 stat increase.

For Blade himself, he received the same stat boosts but also gained additional Art Stats.

"I mean, it's like you're trying to do everything at once. Why not focus on one single thing?" Piaro asked, watching Blade curiously.

Blade simply grinned. "I'm a sculptor. I should sculpt from everything—blacksmithing, digging, tailoring—they're all means for a sculptor to create something beautiful," he replied confidently.

Piaro sighed as Blade chuckled. "Besides, I like doing all these things. It's fun."

Old Granny nodded approvingly.

When Piaro looked at Blade, he saw a younger version of himself.

'He reminds me... of when I was aiming for the Sword Saint title.'

Looking at Blade's smiling face, Piaro was suddenly flooded with memories of his own youth—the endless training, the struggles, and yet, the sheer joy of the journey.

However, Piaro shook his head, pushing away those thoughts. "You're done now. Let's go back to sword training," he said.

Blade nodded and stood up, ready for another session.

Another week passed, bringing their total to two weeks of training. Blade's Intermediate Sword Mastery had already reached Level 8, an astonishing rate of progress. Even according to Super AI Morpheus's calculation, Blade shouldn't have reached this level yet. He should have at most ended up with peak Intermediate Sword Mastery yet from the looks of it , he will end thsi hidden quest with Advanced Sword mastery.

"Let's fight underwater," Blade suggested as the third week of training began.

Aside from improving his Sword Mastery, Blade was also aiming for Piaro's Supreme Swordsmanship skill. However, to obtain it, he needed at least 80 affinity with Piaro. Right now, he was at 60 affinity, which was good friend, but who knows if this was good enough or not.

"Huh?" Piaro asked, raising an eyebrow. "Why?"

"I mean, underwater sword fighting will increase our speed and control, and we can't rely purely on strength," Blade explained.

After a moment of thought, Piaro agreed. The two of them entered the water, and Blade also gave him Mermen's Gills, allowing Piaro to breathe underwater as well.

"It's strange," Piaro muttered as he swung his sword. His movements felt sluggish, his speed reduced by 50%. "This is an interesting way to train."

Blade nodded in agreement. "Okay, let's begin."

The two engaged in battle, using pure swordsmanship without any external enhancements. This was another reason Blade's Sword Mastery was improving so rapidly—he was a natural-born swordsman, thanks to the hidden talent he received after he gained Weed template.

That's also why he insisted on sparring with Piaro, who had Advanced Sword Mastery at Level 9—just one step away from reaching Sword Saint.

However, the next step in Piaro's journey was much more difficult. His low mental state and past traumas had held him back, sinking him into depression and making it impossible to reach his true potential.

But now, fighting with Blade... he was starting to regain his passion.

For the first time in years, Piaro felt hope again.

Another week passed in a flash, marking the end of the hidden quest.

"You're more talented than I thought," Piaro admitted honestly.

He had never expected to meet someone as gifted as Blade. Piaro himself had reached Advanced Sword Mastery at the age of 20 and took great pride in his achievements as a swordsman.

Yet now, standing before him was Blade—much younger than he had been—who had already surpassed the level Piaro once struggled to reach at the same age.

The realization left Piaro both amazed and humbled. It also made him sure that he can kill Asmophel.
