A day passed since Leon's victory against Heracles, he laid in the hospital with nurses treating his wounds with special medicine and magic for all the cuts, bruises, and burn marks he suffered.

Elais, Cora, and Achillia all came to visit and congratulate his victory with a cake with frosting and strawberries on it. Hecuba would be present but she had to return to her men and women she commanded over, same with bennia continuing her job as a reaper under Hades.

"Congratulations Leon I knew you could show that Heracles you're a winner!" Elais said taking a bite out of a piece of cake.

"Do please chew with your mouth close Elais," Cora gave a sturn look towards his ear giving off the vibe of 'I will pull your ear off' which made Elais comply very quickly.

"Hah thanks everyone, I'll admit I almost didn't think I'd survive. It feels like luck was on my side." Leon said before taking a bite out of his cake.

"Don't speak like that Leon you used everything I taught you and I'm proud to say you did very well," The descendant of Achilles patted his back smiling though Leon still felt a little sore.

"Still I must say that the purple hued blade you used was most impressive. Whatever it was it seemed to be able to block the explosions from hitting you." Cora remembering the fight was very impressed at such power it almost seemed god-like.

"I didn't even know it could do that, what I do know is this blade isn't like the others since it doesn't power back down."

Leon felt good with it staying powered up, though submerging the blades into a beast had its benefits it was completely time consuming. This did pop open a question and that was could the other blade do the same and are there more of them he can materialize.

Such thoughts were pushed to the side from the sound of knocking on the door. Hera and Frejya walked in, the sight of their queen made them now their heads but she waved it off.

"There shall be no need for that. I'm pleased to see you three have given Leon a gift for his victory." Hera looked at the cake with strawberries.

"I do hope we haven't interrupted anything? I wished to finally meet the young man who caught the attention of my old friend," Frejya said stepping beside Hera.

"No not at all. And you wanted to meet me?" Leon pointed at himself feeling a bit honored but wouldn't say it out loud as it felt a little embarrassing to say.

"Why of course, your battle has gotten people talking, even I felt my heart beat faster at the suspense of who would come out on top. Not just that but seeing two sacred gears face off against one another was a first for me and many others." Frejya said.

"Though given the fact Heracles had for a time I imagine once he wakes he will be loathing for a bit," Cora figured with how arrogant he was taking a loss like this there'd no doubt be raging moments about to happen.

"I have no doubt this will hurt him in the long run but it should show him some humility," Hera wanted to smirk while saying that but kept her composure.

In truth she wasn't wrong, getting beaten by someone who's had more years of experience fighting to someone who's still knew had to hurt his ego. And in front of thousands of people added with the gods only makes it worse, for Leon though this was a huge achievement.

"Ah I almost forgot! What about the surviving guard who's in a coma is awake yet!?" Leon shouted just now remembering only one guard survived that fateful night.

"He lives do not worry but Alexandro has yet to awaken from his coma," A sigh escaped Hera's mouth before she uttered those words.

Alexios Macedon was the guards full name, he is the descendant of Alexander the great, the man who was a hero in Greek legends for conquering the eastern Mediterranean, Egypt, middle east, and parts of Asia. Like many other descendants they did not know who their ancestors were until they were brought into the Olympus Realm. Alexandro soon showed how skilled he was as a fighter along with his great determination and discipline, he was offered to command over part of the Spartan army but he declined seeing it as a role fit for someone who enjoyed that. Until the recent event he became a guard to the vault of Olympus seeing it as a great honor to guard many valuable weapons and relics.

"I hope he can wake up soon," Leon despite knowing from what it was said that Alexandro saw his face still couldn't help but worry if he'd make a full recovery.

Hera patted the top of his head smiling down at him "He will pull through, though do not be surprised when he wakes to see you up and about after the accusations."

"I have no doubt you and Athena can put his mind at ease. Even I must admit the whole situation with the vault had me questioning it," Frejya said knowing from the very beginning before the trail by combat knee something didn't add up. "But that is for another day and I got quite off track; Leon I congratulate you on your victory and look forward to your growth."

Leon smiled and nodded but while they talked he spoke to the spirit that helped him yesterday. This time was different however, because last time she had pulled him deep within his mind to communicate which means on the inside it felt like minutes or hours had passed but in the outside world a single second passed. Here now that wasn't happening as she spoke from outside the core of his mind but still remained inside to stay hidden.

"You know you can come out and say hi I promise you they don't bite."

It's not that I don't trust your words Leon your friends and the gods are very kind people, it's just...I simply feel very comfortable being in your mind

I can understand that part you have been in here since my birth from what you've told me

Yes, I must admit at times it felt very frustrating not to be able to comfort you when you were down, to just only be able to stare from afar unable to fully call out...

Hey you're here now so no worries. Plus in a way I was never really alone before and after I was with grandpa

I truly wish I could have spoken to him as well he was a very kind and smart man

I have no doubt he'd like you and consider you a part of the family

I would very much have loved that, but as you say we are here now

Haha agreed If an exclamation mark could appear above Leon's head it would, he thought of something that he should have asked earlier, I completely forgot to ask if it's stupid of me!

W-What is it Leon!?

It's your name I didn't ask what your name is!

The spirit out of her shocked and confused state looked down a bit sad.

I...I don't have a name, or at least I don't remember, or if I ever had one to begin with

You don't have a name? Not even made up one?

It's difficult to explain, the very first thing I remember hearing was your cries from when you were a baby

Cries from when I was a baby, so...does that mean you saw my biological parents?

Sort of in a way, I'm tied to you so just like yourself I have barely have a vivid memory of what they looked like

I see...

I'm sorry I cannot describe what they looked like Leon

Don't be, regardless of whether or not I remember them doesn't matter much to me,. I'm just glad I still have memories of grandpa

I completely understand She said smiling at him

Hmmmm, since you don't have a name I'll try to think of one

Ah! Y-You don't know what you need to do, being able to speak clearly to you is more than enough

Hey everyone deserves to have a name to identify themselves, give me a bit and I'll think of something

I...thank you Leon She smiled with a slight blush across her face with the generous gift she would receive.

Back in the hospital room Hera and Freyja got caught up in their talks while Cora, Elais, and Achillia made small talk. All the whole Leon while eating his cake conversed with the spirit that dwelled within him.

"Ah but we have gotten off topic enough," Freyja said and turned towards Leon and Achillia "I have been hearing great things from you two and would be honored to have you both come to Asgard."

Both Leon and Achillia looked at each other stunned at the offer. Hera chuckled knowing an explanation was in order. "The offer is for a meeting of our two realms to come together to form peace or at the very least form an alliance. Both realms wish to see what the other has to offer and how good their people are."

"Ah I see. But why me though? I'm still in the Olympus Realm," Asked Leon.

"Because you are under my care Leon. You are strong, kind, and have so much potential," Hera said with a smile.

Frejya looked then at Achillia "As well as you being one of the descendants of Achilles who got the attention of the gods."

"You honor me Mrs. Frejya," Achillia bows to her.

"An alliance between Olympus and Norse I must admit I never thought of the idea," Cora thought out loud.

"Hey if it does happen that's a huge achievement for Olympus!" Elais raised his fist up in excitement.

Leon looked towards Hera "When will this meeting happen?"

"In a few days or so, though you need to be fully healed before that happens Leon," Hera said looks over his bandages.

"Until then rest up and be ready, you most definitely will love Asgard and its ancient history," Frejya clapped her hands together in joy at having new visitors.

Leon looked at Achillia and his friends "Meeting a new realm is something new to see haha."

"Make sure you bring back gifts," Elais gave a thumbs up.

"Pay him no mind you two are trying to help make an alliance," Cora said before looking at a pouting Elais that she enjoyed messing with.

In another part of the Hospital

A brunette nurse in a traditional nursing outfit down the halls while carrying a tray of hospital food along with a small cup of liquid medicine used to rub on the skin of bruised badly. She soon stopped at a door which was the room for Heracles to be treated for his wounds from the fight.

"Alright Mr. Heracles here's your dinner and...huh?" As she knocked and entered expecting to see her patient whether asleep or awake she was met with an empty bed. "Mr. Heracles are you here?" She checked everywhere from in the bathroom to even under the nursing bed but he was nowhere to be seen.

Confused and concerned she stormed out of the room and asked to speak to everyone, even her boss if she had seen Heracles but was met with the same answer no. It was as if he had disappeared without anyone noticing, most assumed he had jumped from the window but they were closed shut so the logical conclusion was he left without telling anyone. There was no point in stopping him as everyone knew how his attitude was, if he got hurt they were not liable for him moving about while still in bandages.

Deep inside a cave in an unknown area

"DAMN HIM! DAMN THAT RODENT PIECE OF SHIT!!!"

Heracles while he still had bandages around his arms raged at the loss he suffered. Over and over again he punched the walls of the cave constantly breaking it apart in huge chunks. He would have used his sacred gear but barely had any energy left and that pissed him off even more.

"He cheated he must have! He didn't have a third blade in his arsenal he couldn't have!" He said before violently punching a big hole in the wall.

"Tsk tsk tsk if only you had trained your balance breaker instead of wanting to show it off to the god of Olympus." The voice of the same woman who wore a clay mask approached from the darkness. She was the one who teleported him out of the hospital and into this area, him raging was no surprise.

Heracles turned towards her gritting his teeth in anger at her mocking tone at his defeat. "This is your fault!" He then started to walk fast towards her, "You said he only had two blades! Your damn false information cost me my just reward!!!"

"Now now there is no need for...," She wasn't able to finish those words as Heracles with his fist balled up and having veins appear on them aimed straight for her clay mask of a face. Suddenly the eye holes from her mask began to glow a bright yellow, she summoned magic while also extending one hand at Heracles stopping him in place with a binding like magic. "Hohoho my dear Heracles you are many years too early to be trying to take me on so I suggest you calm down at once."

"Tch...," reluctantly he stopped trying to struggle and did as he was told. Once she knew he was calm enough the magic to allow movement again.

"See not that wasn't too hard," She said in a gleeful tone. Heracles growled at this but knew not to push his luck with her. "Now then allow me to explain, I was just as surprised that the boy had another sword." She began walking past him while still talking, "I've watched from afar in secret studying his development and only saw he could summon two blades from his sacred gear. The logical conclusion is through his sheer willpower to live he was able to summon more power and create an entirely knee blade. How he did it I have no idea but it is clear he's still growing."

"You'd think you'd have more to give after watching that rodent on the outskirts ..." Heracles added almost like a jab at her, she would show him the gap in power between them but chose to let it slide this time.

"The orb I laid in the outskirts could only get a field of vision so much without getting spotted by Gaia. Or did you want her to find us out and sink this whole plan into Tartarus hmmm?" She jabbed back at him and that made him shut up real quick though not before a small scoffed came out of his mouth. "Besides I feel bad for you my dear Heracles I really do. I figured should this plan fail I called out to someone from out of this realm."

That while small in detail was enough to gain the attention of the holder of the original spirit Heracles. "And what could your contact offer me that's worth my time?"

She chuckled and snapped her fingers, from in front of her a summoning circle appeared. "Believe your friend Heracles for she tells the truth," those words came from a young man who soon appeared from the circle. He has short black hair and blue eyes; his outfit is a mixture of a Japanese school uniform for males and an ancient Chinese. But what really stood out was the very long spear he held and leaned over his shoulders, Heracles could feel the power radiating off it which got his blood pumping a bit.

"And just who the hell are you?" Heracles said eyeing the young man up.

"Introductions are indeed needed. My name is Cao Cao, a descendant of the Cao Mengde from the three kingdoms era," he said in a very charismatic tone. "And you must be the man who poses the sacred gear Variant Detonation, quite the powerful weapon fit for a human."

Heracles scoffs at him done with the formalities "Yeah I am, you looking for a fight? I'm more than obliged to blow off a massive amount of explosions."

Cao Cao was amused at his head's strong attitude to prove his strength, he was someone he definitely wanted on his side. "Maybe another day, but I have plans, big plans that will shake the world of gods and they will most definitely strike back. Many no doubt strong that you would love to show you're stronger than them."

The sacred gear user raised an eyebrow even more intrigued at the offer he was being given, "Hmph you make a tempting offer, but how do I know you can hold your own? I'm not a babysitter."

"Oh I most definitely can hold my own. But what's more is I'm assembling the strong for the cause of protecting humanity. Join me in the Hero Faction and I will make sure you not only face strong opponents but also gain more power to the point you can achieve your balance breaker." The descendant of Cao Mengde said with a smirk.

Fighting strong opponents, getting stronger in the process, and letting all know your strength is mighty was an offer too tempting to ignore. He sneered and folded his arms "Alright Cao Cao I'll join your faction, don't make me regret it."

"Oh I'm sure you won't Heracles. Do have fun, and should you return the real. of Olympus will be quite different," the clay masked lady said laughing at whatever idea she plans to do in the future.

Leon's Bedroom

With the advanced healing medicine of the Olympus Leon was allowed to leave the hospital and return back to his room. Still sore in some areas Achillia made sure he made it back safely. "Here we are, bet your glad to be home again," she said carefully setting Leon down on his bed.

"The plant bed Gaia made felt just as good but being back here does feel like home sweet home," He slightly laid down on his back.

"The doctor says by tomorrow you should be all healed up, get some good sleep and try not to stay up all night."

"I'll try not to mom haha."

"Pffft if we're going that route I'll annoy you to stop slouching young man."

Both laughed at each other's jokes, they had gotten comfortable from one another that they now acted like close friends.

"Anyway I'll see you later Leon, and welcome home." She waved goodbye and closed the door behind her.

I'm glad she's very nice, at first I was a little intimidated by her somewhat stern look

She's a really nice girl when you get to really know her, and a really good trainer I can't count the amount of times it's saved my life

Indeed, she is a very skilled fighter with years of experience, Hera made the right call for her to train you

I'm glad she did, but now onto giving you a name

Ah! Did you think of something?

I have thought of a few and some sounded good but one stuck with me. The color purple seems to go well with you and how using the power made the blade purple I thought a color name fitting for a girl would be phyra, it's short for the word Porphyra which is an ancient Greek word for purple.

Phyra, such a beautiful name I love it! Thank you so much Leon

Your welcome, plus it's the least I can do for you being beside me and helping me defeat Heracles

I couldn't sit back and watch you get killed especially when we could finally talk to each other

That wouldn't have been a good way to go out, But it's in the past now. Oh! now that we have time I've been meaning to ask you something, or a lot of questions in fact

I don't mind so ask as many as you like

Multiple ideas swirled in Leon's head trying to pick on, he didn't need to think too hard on it since she was more than willing to answer whatever he asked to the best of her abilities.

I know you say you vividly remember me as a baby but the power I have this sacred gear, the gods and even that guy Azazel say they've never seen it before. Do you perhaps know what this is?

It is a sacred gear that summons blades and as far as I've studied it there seems to be ten in total

Ten!!? Wow that's a lot. Does it only make swords or other weapons as well?

That I am not entirely sure Leon, but what I do know is the blades were designed to specifically absorb powers either by blood, magic, or spiritual essence. I do not specifically know why they were designed to do that sadly.

More knowledge was now revealed that his sacred gear could summon ten blades and that they had a way to absorb power, it explained why when the blades were soaked in blood they absorbed the powers of the chimera and the other mythological beast.

One thing that does confuse me is how it fully powers down and disappears yet when you did it it's still active

That happened simply because the blood from the beast was not powerful enough to fully activate the blade. Had it been a strong one such as the original Chimera and not a lesser one that would've fully activated the blade. Still, you would have to be very strong to handle that power, I fear if you weren't it could overload and possibly hurt you

Hmmm I see, I wouldn't want that to happen so I guess as time goes on I'll have to get stronger

Indeed but please do not overwork yourself

Leon chuckled at her worries and nodded Don't worry I don't plan on doing something working to death

I would very much hope so Phyra smiled in his mind

And another question since people haven't seen this sacred gear, do you know if anyone else has had it but never been seen?

I highly doubt it. I'm tied to the blade as it is with me and vice versa with you. If there was someone else I have no memory of the individual

Coming from you I can believe it His comment made Phyra smile though also felt a little embarrassed at the praise she was receiving. Then I guess in some ways me, you, and this sacred gear were destined to all be together. Wait...Ah maybe that can work!

The spirit tilted her head in confusion wondering what he had just thought of Did you perhaps get another idea?

Yep, since no one has seen this sacred gear before it doesn't have a name. Don't know if it'll sound good but I'd call it 'Destiny Gear'.

Ah I see, when you thought of how destiny brought all three together your mind clicked on the word!

Mhm! I know it's a bit silly using the word destiny...

Phyra shook her head in disagreement at his little doubt in his thinking Nonsense, the sacred gear needed a name and you gave it one

Thanks Phyra

You're most welcome. I must admit coming up with a name sounds very exciting, if possible could I name the sword I helped fully activate?

Of course Phyra, let me know when you've thought of something

Both the sacred gear user and the spirit that dwelled within him shared a heartfelt smile with one another, a bonding that even though still very well known was blossoming.

Two days later, Mrs. Sophia's Classroom

"Alright class I have your test reports back in my hands and...," Mrs. Sophia pushed up her glasses looking at the class with a stern face making everyone a little nervous. "And I must say...you have all made me proud!"

The whole class breathed a sigh of relief, even Cora who knew she passed the test was still made nervous by Mrs. Sophia's sense of humor.

Over the past two days when everything was settled down their teacher asked for everyone to study hard for the upcoming test. Leon made sure to study just as hard as his friends, with Phyra who was a fast learner helped him out.

Phew! Thank goodness, I almost thought I was the one who failed

Nonsense Leon! You studied hard and naturally you were going to pass

Looking back before he was reincarnated he'd wish Phyra was around to help with his studies making them easier. She did offer to tell Leon which answer was the right one but he declined because it would make all the studying they did before all for nothing.

Sophia walked around giving everyone their test back, everyone in the class had either A's or B's which were passing grades.

"Sweet I made a B!" Elais said excitedly. "What you get Leon?"

"An A, though Cora beat us both with a higher grade," Leon said smiling back at Cora.

"Don't feel too bad you two you at least didn't fail," Cora chuckled with a little smug on her face proud she got one hundred percent.

"Since everyone did a good job a celebration is in order," Mrs. Sophia called out to the class. "Everyone gets to have the special meal from the high class restaurant, a treat from the school itself."

Everyone looked towards the door watching chefs bring in every type of food from vegetables, meat, cheese made from goat milk etc. Every study yelled out in excitement, the smell of fresh food aroma passing through their noses making some mouths water.

"All of you enjoy it for you've earned it," Sophia called for all of the class to eat, relax, and enjoy themselves.

Elais of course was stuffing his face in the meat and cheese like it was his last dinner, Leon found that side of him hilarious while Cora wanted to pull on his ear telling him to slow down or else he'll choke on his meal.

"Elais don't choke on your food, don't know what I'd be saying to your mother how you died," Said Cora ate her food slowly.

"Hey this good stuff! Plus mom would understand."

"Before or after you choked on your food," Said Leon laughed which made even Cora chuckled.

"Oh haha joker," Elais nudged his arm.

All three made small talk with one another, Leon even mentioned he had named his sacred gear 'Destiny Gear' and why he named it that. He still left out the details of the spirit Phyra who was connected to him as per her wish to remain hidden until she felt comfortable to reveal herself.

Suddenly Mrs. Sophia walked up towards all three, "Glad you're all enjoying yourself. Leon if I could steal you for a moment." Thinking this was something important he put his plate down and walked over to his teachers desk. "Do not worry you are in no trouble Leon. I wanted to ask about how you'll continue your curriculum."

Before Leon had been reincarnated he did go to school and was a year away from graduating, but now since things were different he was put into a classroom that was already a month away from every student graduating. He did keep it in the back of his mind the students and even his friends would graduate before him, but now that it was closing in the thought reappeared.

"Huh, I haven't had much time to think about it because of what's been going on." He said scratching the back of his head thinking.

"Given what's happened I fully understand how you wouldn't think that far ahead. I simply ask how you would like to precede going with your school work." His teacher said to push up her glasses. "But I won't rush you, I simply wish to make sure you're able to go at your own pace."

Smiling back at her Leon nodded "Thank you Mrs. Sophia. Hopefully in between my time training and school I'll have an idea on how I wish to move forward."

"And if you need any help or advice do not hesitate to ask me Leon. No go back to your friends and have fun," Sophia smiled back ushering him to return to his friends which he did.

Hours passed and everyone had their fill of food and drinks till the evening of the day. Everyone thanked their teacher and the chefs for the special gift while exiting the classroom. Upon walking out of the class Leon and his friends spotted Achillia around the corner leaning against the wall. Spotting all three she stood up right waving to them "There you guys are, hope you had a fun celebration."

Oh most definitely because I won't be eating tonight!" Elais rubbed and patted his stomach.

"You can say that again, I can't remember the last time I ate that much," Leon started trying to remember when he ate a whole buffet.

"Hope you digested all that food Leon because you and me are gonna be sparring but this time more seriously," Achillia said with a smirk liking the idea of catching him off guard. "Hope you two don't mind if I steal him for the day."

"Not at all, we need to be heading home for the day," Cora waved showing there was no harm.

"Have fun Leon and try not to die," Elais patted Leon on the back hard chuckling.

"Oh haha joker," Leon said back to his friend gaining a smile from him.

Training Fields outside the gates of Olympus

The very spot Leon had trained for the first time before he was able to summon his Sacred Gear he now stood up on once more. Athena stood by the sidelines to watch the progress Leon had made in these few days.

Achillia however was ready to get hands on and she came prepared, equipped with her family's spear that has been passed down and modified for generations. The cloth wrapped around it was a symbol of its original user Achilles before he passed away, since he had it red it always remained that color never changing as it would be a dishonor to his legacy.

"This here is my family's Achilles Spear, handed down from generation to generation until I became its new wielder," she said showing off the weapon.

"Looks impressive! Your family definitely kept it in good shape all these years," Leon looked it over.

"Yep, and since you've gotten stronger it's time the training got more serious. What? You're not much of a novice anymore so it would be disrespectful for me to keep going easy on you." Achillia talked while twirling the spear around her fingers.

Naturally he knew the day would come when his trainer would start getting more serious on him to help improve, but Leon figured it wouldn't be until a few months before that happened so deep down he felt honored she'd be getting more serious.

"But first things first we gotta make sure you know how to wield your strength," Achillia smiled pointing the family spear at him. "We start out small and work our way up, hope that won't scare you now."

Leon smirked and summoned his Sacred Gear Destiny Gear, "After what I've been through I doubt I have much fear, Destiny Gear!" Yelling out with his hands outstretched the plain sword materialized in his hand.

"Destiny Gear? Not bad has a nice ring to it," Achillia got into her fighting stance.

"Well since no one has seen it the gear needed a name," Leon said while getting into his fighting stance.

Both looked at one another a few feet apart, the wind blew slightly making both hairs blow in the breeze. Their standoff came to an end as soon as Athena raised her hand giving the all clear and both dashed at one another.

Leon dashed at Achillia but surprisingly she stayed out right where she was. He knew this was her analyzing his movements to find a way to counterattack given the fact he himself has a new blade up his sleeves. His blade swung to her right side but she parried it, holding her spear downwards looking at him with a serious expression.

"Hah!" Leon pulled back his blade and now used his shield spinning in a circle to bash her.

No hesitation at the sight of an oncoming weapon made by the blacksmith god came from her, she simply pulled her spear up and thrust it forward into the very middle of the shield. Leon was surprised yet not surprised at this, the shield was very durable but if you didn't have a massive amount of strength to push it hard someone can potentially stop it.

Stopping and looking at her was a red flag, he knew every second counted to get the upper hand on your opponent or enemy from what Achillia taught him. The opportunity had to be taken so Leon swung his blade down at the top of her spear planting it into the ground, he would lunge forward but he was surprised to see Achillia had jumped up to the top end of the spear making it balance itself straight. Suddenly she began to spin around on her family's spear fast and in circles all while holding on, she should've fallen down with her weight shifting from side to side but she knew how to balance herself perfectly.

"How can you...," Leon's words cut off by the sight of not just his opponent spinning while balancing in the air but at the sight of what he probably shouldn't have seen; the sight of inside of her skirt caught his eyes and they both widened in shock and embarrassment, being able to see what undergarments she had on due to him trying to focus on whether she'd kick him or not.

"Think fast!" Achillia yelled out lowering down and with both feet she kicked him right on the chest. Once he was down on the ground she let go of her weapon and dropped to the ground, the family spear fell down onto her hand and lifted off the ground. "Haha what was that Leon? I know you couldn't have lost focus at the sight of those movements."

"Ugh...yeah I slipped up there my bad," Getting up he dusted himself off, the double kick did hurt but his body had been strengthened enough to the point that wouldn't be enough to keep him down.

Are you okay!!?

Phyra said very worried even though she knew he was tougher than before.

Yeah I'm alright just lost focus there for a second...

He didn't want to admit what he saw that made him lose focus, he especially didn't want to say that to Achillia for fear of how awkward that'd be. The thoughts were put away from his mind, he needed to stay focused if he wanted to be able to keep going.

"I won't let that happen again, time for round two!" Leon's words made Achillia smirk hoping he was being very serious.

This time she dashed at him with one hand on her weapon. The spear in hand thrusted forward at Leon's stomach but he put his shield up blocking in time. Because of the distance a spear had between the user and opponent trying to close the gap was difficult, but that wasn't going to bring down his will to get closer and hid just that. Swinging the blade down on the tip of the spear would just result in what happened before so a new tactic was needed.

"Better get ready for this one!" To both Achillia and Athena's surprise he pulled his shield back into his arm band and ran forward closing the gap between the two. Just close enough was the blade able to reach her and hit her bronze arm gauntlet, she of course blocked it but felt the full weight of the attack.

"Not bad at all, you've definitely improved in mind!" She said smiling at him. "Now let's see how much strength you've improved in," Using her free leg she knee'd Leon in the stomach pushing him away to gain some distance.

"Jeez and I thought the double kick hurt," He shrugged off the pain and ran back towards her. She didn't bother to use her spear to defend, running forward as well the two clashed their free hands together. Both smirked at one another pushing back and forth to make the other fall on their back, a stalemate like that was not to last long with both now using their legs to kick one.

Again and again both knees from one another hit each other, it was like a dance that involved trying to hit one another. Finally seeing that this has gone on long enough Achillia swung his spear at Leon's head but he ducked in time and with his free hand aimed a punch at her abdomen. Her quick movement and thinking became a saving grace, using her bronze arm band to block her opponent punched it hard and this hurt for both of them, Leon having to punch metal and Achillia feeling the weight of the punch dent her armor inwards a little.

Both pushed one another back and stood tall, Leon despite having improved had to use a lot of energy to keep up with the descendant of the Achilles.

"You really have improved a lot, definitely no longer a novice," She said smiling.

"It was thanks to your training and Athena's guidance I made it this far," Leon said in between breathing in and out to catch his breath.

"Proud you didn't squabble it Leon. Now then, I did say we would start small to big to see where your limits are," With those final words Achillia held her family spear sideways. Suddenly the lines and edges began to glow a whitish blue surrounding the weapon, the power emanating off it was clearly magical in nature.

"Woah! Is that the power of your family's spear?" Leon was highly intrigued at what the magic felt.

"Not exactly. As I said before Achilles Spear has been augmented for generations, wielders before me have made it more stronger so that one day when one of use finally unlocks the power of the goddess Thetis in our blood they would be far more powerful then ancestor Achilles and have great honor in finally achieving the gift of our family." Achillia said before swinging the spear around, the color swirling around it and her at the same time.

She is considered one of the strongest and most skilled warriors in her family yet she could not unlock the power of Thetis, Leon could only imagine how that must've felt for her and the entire family. Still she was young and had time to maybe some day achieve that goal, right now was round three in their fight.

The silver blade in hand dematerialized and the purple blade that has defeated Heracles appeared now in hand. "Thought a lot on what to call this one and I can say it's official name is Phyra Blade!"

I apologize for not coming up with a name such as yours, I figured Porphyra was a bit of a mouthful

Don't be Phyra, in fact it suits it since you are technically the one who gave me the power to fully power up this blade

"Phyra Blade huh? Not a bad name there," She said and what then told how he came up with the name. With both introductions of powers finished the final round was upon them.

Achillia planted her weapon into the ground and then swung upwards, magic shot from the ground in a shockwave toward Leon. In response Phyra Blade was planted on the ground, the shockwave being split when hitting the weapon not hitting the user.

"Looks like using magic shots will only split when coming into contact, let's see how it handles this!" Done thinking the young warrior got close to Leon swinging her spear.

As both weapons hit each other the magic power sparked electricity from pushing against Phyra's blade. Again and again blade and spear hit one another, though Leon's could push the magic energy back or split it so it couldn't reach him it did not mean he couldn't feel the weight of each swing she threw at him.

"You truly have improved a lot Leon, but it's time to end this," Achillia side stepped to his right and swung her spear right onto Leon's head knocking him down before he could even unleash his shield. Before he could react to get up the spear was pointed directly at his throat, if she wanted to end his life she could with one killing blow.

"Jeez am I glad I didn't face you in the colosseum I wouldn't have one hehe," Leon rubbed the back of his head accepting Achillia as the winner of this sparring.

"Maybe, maybe not. Still you did good, I could see how much you've improved," The descendant of Achilles pulled her family's spear away and helped Leon up to his feet.

Athena who had been silent and watched the whole fighting came up congratulating both young warriors. "You've done good Leon, your strength and reflexes are far better now. I will say one thing your attribute that needs more work is your sacred gear. I could tell from using that purple blade your power grew more but at the same time without your body adapting to it you'll lose stamina very quickly."

He fully understood her words, using his Moira blade he became worn out more quickly and now needed to strengthen his body.

"And Achillia your doing just as well though keep in mind my words I gave you," The goddess said to a then now bowing Achillia understanding her words. Leon would ask what she meant but felt for now this was something between the two women for he had his own goal in mind. "For now relax for the rest of the day for you both have earned it."

Coming from a goddess it was hard to say no to that. Both decided to head back into the city of Olympus to relax at the bar Adonis owned. It had been too long since he'd last seen the man and was pretty excited to visit again.

Adonis's Bar

"Hahaha there he is the man who bested Heracles himself!" Adonis laughed out loud at the sight of Leon again. "You had me worried their kid almost thought you were done in."

"Thanks to Achillia's training and the stuff I went through in the outskirts I managed to pull through," Leon said modestly and returned a smile.

"Once again you give yourself little credit Leon," A light punch from a chuckling Achillia hit his shoulders.

"Listen to the young lady lad you did good out there, saw the whole thing on my tv," Adonis pointed his thumb to the tv on the wall. While modern technology wasn't used here because of the use of magic it still had its benefits, and most took a liking to what humans had built over the centuries.

"Hah okay okay your right I'll give myself more credit," He sat down on a stool next to his teacher.

"Good to hear, Adonis well take a couple of juices, full jugs please," she said with Adonis giving a thumbs up "Sure thing, on the house as well for a hard earned victory."

Things felt peaceful now, though the trial being combat was only a few days ago it almost felt like a lifetime ago. All the planning and wondering if he would make it out alive had him on edge, but that was behind them now. The present mattered now with the next thing being the peace talks between two ancient mythologies Olympus and Norse.

"You know I like moments like this, training is good but taking moments to ourselves let's your mental state relax," Achillia said smiling at Leon.

"I can agree on that. Come to think of it back when I woke up and ran through the city you did say you loved to watch the open blue skies high above Olympus." He'd remembered after a while about what she said before dragging him back towards the room, scary back then but now it was pretty funny.

"I do that from time to time, helps me clear my mind and think on what I can do to improve myself," she didn't say but that response definitely was about her whole bloodline situation.

"If you don't mind me asking is it true Achilles was the only one who could wield the power of his mother Thetis?"

Achillia shook her head in agreement "Pretty much, her blood still runs in our veins but because of generations of human blood over lapping it the potential to wield it slowly died down until it was near impossible to do so." She looked down a bit shaking her head, "You know I figured because of being the smartest and strongest of my family in this generation I could unlock our grandmother's ancestors power. But you know it's not that simple, it had a lot of eyes on me thinking I'd be the one but it didn't happen."

She told her story of herself and the family history, since a little girl she was a fast learner and slowly but surely surpassed her teachers. She showed as much potential as their ancestor Achilles everyone thought she'd be the one to finally unlock the family's god's blood that runs in their blood. Sadly it never happened, there was no ritual to unlock it and trying to force it out was against the family's honor. Even if they did go against those rules the extraction could kill the individual because the blood has been so diluted over millennium, even Achilles son could not unlock his fathers powers. Due to this strict honor when someone manages to unlock it they can stand proudly of the achievement along with gaining a secret artifact only the wielder can use.

"Hmmm, well I wouldn't say impossible." Leon's words had her raise an eyebrow. "Sure because less god blood has gone into your family but it's still there."

His words made a chuckle escape her bronze lips "That's very sweet of you, but don't worry too much on it I've made some peace with the facts."

The need to press on how she's more capable then she thinks ran through the young man's head but decided to leave it be for now. Just enjoying being with her on a nice night out was enough, "Huh, you know Achillia I think this is the only time we've ever been by ourselves hanging out," Leon said just now realizing it. Phyra was here in his mind so they weren't totally alone but since she decided to remain hidden for now it may as well be just Leon and Achillia.

Would you like for me to give you some privacy to yourself? Phyra asked thinking it would be respectful.

Of course not you can listen, with what we talk about it can be more learning for you in this realm.

He couldn't see it right now but she smiled at the idea of learning. Thanking him she decided to listen in on the conversation between two friends.
