A space in the shape of a circular dome.
A huge window floats in the middle of the air.
'What is this?'
They said it was a spear that only humans could wield.
It's over 10 meters long.
The length of the blade alone, excluding the shaft, is about the height of an adult.
Ting.
=====
[Item: Spear of Authority]
Rarity: ★★★★★
A gift from the god Deus to mankind.
=====
A short explanation.
But it was enough to understand the power of the spear.
The rarity is a whopping ★★★★★.
The same rarity as the Reincarnation that allowed me to live a 4th life.
'Should I go and grab it? By the way, how am I supposed to carry this around and swing it?'
I stood right in front of the spear.
Not only was it huge.
Its shape was closer to a ceremonial spear than one for actual combat.
Below the golden blade, there was an intricately patterned connection, and below that, a silver shaft continued.
'Should I grab it for now?'
The huge spear was floating in the air.
Just high enough to barely reach the bottom of the shaft.
Thud.
The moment I grabbed the spear.
A heavy voice, different from the dragon language, echoed in Davian's head.
I give you my spear. Pave your own destiny.
Hwaaa.
At the same time as a bright light burst out.
The huge spear in Davian's hand disappeared.
Ting.

[Item 'Spear of Authority' Absorption Complete]
When you need to pioneer your destiny, you can use it immediately by thinking of the Spear of Authority in your mind.
=====
Thankfully.
It seems I don't have to carry this large and ornate spear around.
'But how do I use it? It can't just be a big, solid spear.'
There isn't even a simple user manual.
I thought my inner power would surge when I got this, but that's not the case either.
'I was worried that I would lose my reason under the power of the Spear of Authority. But there's no change at all.'
Aurum Drago was still waiting outside the iron door.
"Finally, I see a human possessing the Spear of Authority."
"What do you see?"
"I can feel it. The power to pierce the sky is dwelling within you."
Davian, who absorbed the spear, doesn't feel any change.
But the Gold Dragon Aurum Drago seems to be able to feel something different.
"Then let's go up. Insanis and Ignis will be waiting."
"Do I have to go through the same phenomenon when going up?"
"The second time will be better than the first."
"Oh, great."
After experiencing another terrible experience.
I left Gold Dragon Aurum Drago's lair with Insanis and Ignis.
"...For that reason, warriors who have been able to wield Aura for a long time have come to use swords as weapons."
Swordsmanship theory class.
Professor Stella Cloud is giving a class in an indoor lecture hall for the first time in a while.
"But don't the guards or soldiers still use spears?"
Professor Stella Cloud nodded.
"Not a bad question. If you think about it simply, you might just assume that soldiers use spears because they can't wield Aura like we do. But that's not always the case. Among the soldiers who are placed in situations where various tactics and formations are used, and many-on-many battles take place, there are quite a few who continue to use spears even after they can wield Aura."
"Didn't you say that swords become the most efficient weapon at the point when you can wield Aura? But why would soldiers who use Aura, not ordinary soldiers, continue to use spears?"
"Usually, they don't switch to swords because of their position. A soldier in a spearman unit to stop charging cavalry can't just throw away his spear and pick up a sword just because he can wield Aura. Then, if the level of spearmanship becomes too high, they can't let go of the spear."
"Do they reach a level where they regret changing their weapon type?"
"That's right. They are usually very proud of their spearmanship. There are even soldiers who have the inner power of a 7-star swordsman but continue to remain in the spearman unit that stops charging cavalry."
The students nodded.
They are 4th-year students in the swordsmanship department of Elton Academy.
They have been holding swords since they were young, and have been wielding swords until they turned twenty.
Most students fully sympathized with how one can develop affection for a weapon that they have wielded like their own body for over ten years.
Of course, not everyone was like that.
"Anyway, doesn't the fact that they couldn't quickly switch to swords mean that their inner power growth or Aura manifestation was delayed? It seems like they are still at a lower level compared to us Aura swordsmen."
Stella Cloud shook her head.
"That's too simplistic of a thought. There are various people in the world, and there are various situations. It is forbidden to disregard the skills of an opponent who does not use a sword."
The first swordsmanship theory class in a long time.
Davian would have taken the class lightly as usual.
But for some reason, he had a lot of thoughts today.
'Spearmanship, huh...'
I obtained the Spear of Authority a few weeks ago.
Of course, I didn't tell anyone except the three dragons.
I didn't think it was necessary to say anything about something that wasn't even visible.
I started my 4th life and chose a double major, and I have been practicing swordsmanship for 4 years.
Now it's at a pretty high level.
In fact, the expression 'pretty' is not appropriate.
Even if you only consider swordsmanship skills, I would be among the top few in the continent.
And if you combine that with inner power, I am by far the strongest.
If I had to pick someone who could face Davian, it would probably be my father, Edward Naone.
I've never seen Edward Naone's true strength, so I can't be sure that Davian is stronger yet.
Glacie's gift, the Ice Sword, moved as one with Davian.
I had reached the point where I could draw sword paths with only my will, and the tip of the sword followed the sword paths drawn by my will without a single error.
But.
I obtained the Spear of Authority.
'It seems like it's not the right time to switch to spearmanship now...'
But I can't just sit idly by.
I don't know when I'll have to use the weapon that the god gifted me, and that weapon is a spear.
If it reappears at that size, it's a weapon that's over 10 meters long.
'I should learn the basics at least.'
Even if I don't switch completely.
I came to the conclusion that I need to learn the basics of spearmanship.
Saturday.
Kanzar City, the capital of the Alkancia Kingdom.
A white light flashed in the backyard of a moderately sized mansion.
"Huh?"
Solvere Linea's surprised pupils shrank.
Solvere's pupils, which had turned into tiny dots.
"Mon... No, Solvere. Long time no see."
"What brings you here? Was the warp magic circle drawn there connected to you? It's never worked before."
Davian held up the scroll that had been torn in half.
"The Marquis installed this magic circle for me to come whenever I want."
"Ah, I've heard a lot about you from Espin. I heard you saved his daughter's life?"
"Well, that's how it happened. But are you still living here?"
Sararak.
The glittering silver threads that adorned the sky of the backyard were sucked into Solvere Linea's wrist.
"You should be glad. If I had recognized your face any later, your body would be in pieces right now."
Solvere Linea.
Also known as Monster Eyes.
She was the person who was dispatched as a problem solver when the Marino Empire's spy organization was causing a dungeon core amplification.
Her characteristic is that the size of her pupils shrinks depending on her emotional state, and she uses silver threads as a weapon.
At that time, she was caught by Marquis Espin Ellaina, who was the Margrave of Portus, and was sentenced to death.
In fact, her execution was faked, and she is hiding in the shadow of Espin Ellaina to grow her skills in order to avenge the Marino Empire.
"Is the Marquis inside?"
"Yeah, go in."
"Do you train with those silver threads every day like that?"
Solvere Linea shrugged her shoulders.
"There's a guy I want to completely chop up."
Solvere Linea's tiny pupils trembled.
The one who completely devastated the Kingdom of Finish, where Solvere lived.
The one who caused her father's death.
Monster Eye Solvere Linea's ultimate goal is none other than.
The death of Emperor Kaiser Rapax, the cause of all of this.
"You're actually less murderous than before?"
That's only natural.
She's just been training here alone for several years.
During that time, she's never cut anyone with her silver threads.
"Don't worry. I can call it up whenever I need it."
"Then good luck."
Davian left Solvere Linea in the backyard and went into the mansion.
After being guided by several servants, he sat in the reception room, and Marquis Espin Ellaina, whose trapezius muscles had become even larger, entered.
"Oh, Davian."
"Hello, Marquis."
"What's the matter? Without contacting me. Did the demons attack again?"
"If that were the case, would I be here?"
"I guess not. Anyway, it's not bad news, is it?"
"Yes. I just wanted to ask you something."
Marquis Espin Ellaina's huge muscular arms moved and grabbed Davian's shoulders.
"Whether you have something to ask or something to request, tell me anything, Davian."
If the guards belonging to the 5th Guard saw Espin in this state, they would think that their Guard Captain had gone crazy.
He is the most notorious of the five Guard Captains, with cursing being a basic part of his vocabulary.
But now he looks like.
An angelic aunt welcoming her especially cherished nephew.
He and Davian Naone aren't even related by blood.
"Are there any of your guards who are good at spearmanship?"
"Spearmanship? Those who wield spears are common."
"Not ordinary guards. Someone who stubbornly sticks to the spear even though they have a lot of inner power, or someone who has reached a certain level of spearmanship."
"Why the sudden interest in spearmanship?"
"Well... I was thinking of learning the basics if there's someone good."
"Davian, you? Spearmanship?"
"Yes."
Espin raised his thick index finger as if he had a good idea.
"There's one. A guy who's completely crazy about spearmanship."
A guy who's completely crazy about spearmanship.
That's the person Davian was looking for.
"I'm glad I came to see you, Marquis. Can you introduce me to him?"
"Of course! Who am I talking to? How about we go right now? He should be in the guard barracks."
"Thank you then. I have to go back to the academy on Monday."
"Hmm..."
Espin, who was thinking for a moment, opened his mouth.
"Can you learn the basics of spearmanship in two days, today and tomorrow?"
"I'll just do what I can."
"Don't do that, I'll give that guy a vacation, so you can take him with you, Davian. If you take him home and learn after school every day, you'll improve quickly, right?"
"Is that really necessary?"
"Of course! Who am I talking to? It's not like we're in a war situation right now. Then we don't need to go to the barracks, we can just call that guy here. Adjutant!"
"Yes! Guard Captain!"
"Send someone to call Elena Lorence here right now. Tell him to pack a week's worth of luggage and come."
"Yes!"
