He placed the giant weapon box that he was carrying and relaxed his body. He opened the box and spoke out, "You all can choose the weapon that you want. However, I hope that you will choose a weapon suitable for your physique. I cannot help you in this matter, you can only choose to trust your instincts. However, the dagger is important, and make sure to take it and keep it hanged on your waist."

This was the most logical one right now. He currently did not have the time or the way to assess their compatibility with a weapon. It was better for them to just choose it themselves.

Each one of the Eternal Knights smiled as they stepped forward and picked up a weapon with which they were most suitable. 

They also chose one dagger since this was what they have been ordered by Saito. Sophie was standing together with Saito and hugged him as she stared at these people choosing the weapon for themselves.

Soon enough, each one of the Eternal Knights was standing with a weapon in their hands. Many of the men chose the sword since they were very popular, then saber, then spear, then axe, and then the Great Sword.

Only one or two chose the Great Sword and extremely few numbers of people chose the Axe since very few people in the Eternal Knights had the physique to wield them. They also chose the dagger as they had been ordered and hung it on the cloth of their waist.

The women had chosen mostly sabres, swords, and needles. These were the ones that were chosen by the women. Allyssia and Elena had both chosen Sabres.

Saito stared at the guy Michael Sharp who was staring at the sword in his hands with a fanatic expression. It was as if this was the greatest thing, he had seen in his life even though this sword was just a normal sword.

Saito could feel a great amount of aura condensing at that moment. He asked Iris about this and he received a surprising response.

[Master, this man has condensed Sword Qi.]

Suddenly, he looked around and sensed two more different auras which appeared on two more men. Their names were Clark Wright and Oskar Gill. He once again asked Iris about this.

[Master, the guy named Clark has condensed the Sabre Qi and the guy named Oskar has condensed the Spear Qi.]

Saito was a bit confused and didn't understand just what this Qi was. It sounded really powerful. He wondered why he didn't have it himself.

[Master, these three have condensed their respective weapon's Qi right after grabbing hold of it. They will surely have a great future ahead of them.]

Saito asked Iris what Qi was and the answer he received shocked him.

[Master, a weapon's Qi is a powerful force that the user can use. It's incomparably powerful and does not consume the user's energy. However, it requires the user's heart and mind to be completely focused on that weapon. They can never change their weapon in the future.]

Saito was shocked because he didn't think that these three would ever be able to change their weapons. These weapons were so weak that they would probably break. He asked Iris about what should he do.

[There is nothing to be done about that master. The Qi will protect the weapon as long as nobody as powerful as the master appears and specifically aims to destroy the weapon. The weapon will also get stronger as their skills increase.]

This placed his mind at ease. With the plans he had in mind, these weapons were going to become really powerful.

[Master, the system cannot help you gain the Sword Qi. It depends thoroughly upon oneself. The Qi has a great advantage for the master since if the Master manages to condense the Qi and advance a few levels, a sword spirit will be born within the weapon. A weapon with and without a sword spirit is completely different.]

Saito understood what the system was trying to say but he was helpless in this situation. He could only take care of it in the future.

For now, he cleared his throat and immediately shouted, "I assign Michael Sharp, Clark Wright and Oskar Gill to be my Personal Guards."

Now, this was something that nobody expected at all. The people who were mentioned were incomparably shocked and immediately kneeled without question.

Hundreds of men's gazes were upon them. They knew that they had just received the greatest title that the Eternal Knights were able to receive. To become the personal guards of Saito.

Saito then looked at the women's group and stated, "I also assign Allyssia to be the personal guard of my woman, Sophie."

These words also surprised them since they never imagined even if the slots for Saito's own personal guards were filled, they still had a chance to be the personal guards of his beloved woman.

However, now that they knew about this, their competitive spirit rose once again. It was a good thing for Saito that they were going to be competitive with each other. He wasn't going to stop them at all.

He stared at Sophie with a loving expression and spoke in her ears softly, "Do you want to remain here for a few weeks together with me? The conditions aren't as great as the city's but they are manageable."

Sophie started to nod her head without any hesitation and said, "I am willing! I am willing! I already left behind a babysitter who would take care of Alferd while I am gone."

Her words immensely delighted him.

2 weeks passed again and this time, their schedule had changed greatly. The Eternal Soldiers were asked to get up early before they collectively moved out to exercise together. After an hour of rest. Saito had spent the next 6 hours to be used on their Weapon Training.

Since the women were incredibly good in their precision. He didn't need them to continue practicing with the wooden dummies.

Saito was not a master of any weapon but he knew the basic forms of each one of them. He taught those basic forms to each one of them. Teaching them the basic forms of their respective weapon only took a day.

From the next day, they were ordered to spar against each other. Their opponents changed after every 30 minutes. Since they were fighting with their real weapons, blood was spilled as they were able to injure their comrades.

Saito never stopped them because without spilling their own blood, they would never learn anything great. He also wanted them to have no reservations in fighting. He wanted them to get used to fighting while they were injured.

The Eternal Soldiers knew that they shouldn't kill their comrades so they stopped when it was necessary. Michael Sharp, the user with the Sword Qi. He didn't gather anyone's attention during the previous training session but this time, he had shown his incomparable talent and strength.

He had defeated everyone he had challenged. Even the users with the Spear Qi and Saber Qi. It was a close one but he had managed to win. His speed of progress and power motivated others to do extremely well.

They knew that even if they were ordinary now, they could become greatly stronger as soon as they discovered their talents.

The Intense Weapon Training occurred during the first half of the day. After the break, they weren't trained by Saito. Instead, it was Sophie who had spent the other day with them all, teaching them a great number of things about the world.

Since she had previously been a scholar, she had read up a lot and knew a lot of things. She taught them earnestly and gently making them accept her into their hearts as well.

However, even though she had been earnest and gentle with them all. Saito was still the one whom they respected and loved the most in their hearts. They were saved from a hellish fate by Saito.. Even their entire life of servitude was not even to repay that.
