Because the lock on her dormitory door had been damaged by those two people before, she directly took her belongings and headed towards the Swordsmanship Classroom.
After Hegel helped her resolve the incident involving Eisen sending someone to attack her, she no longer pursued the matter. After all, she would be leaving here in a week, and regardless of the reasons, it seemed pointless to investigate further.
Upon arriving at the spacious Swordsmanship Classroom, she found it empty. Freya glanced around and noticed that even Laika was not present.
It seemed that the students had just finished their classes and would take some time to arrive.
She placed her belongings on a wooden rack nearby and then took a wooden sword from the sword stand.
Holding the wooden sword, she lightly shook her hand, immediately drawing two faint lines in the air.
Even without unleashing her aura, with her current strength, she had an overwhelming advantage in one-on-one combat against knights below the mid-tier level.
However, even though she was now at Knight's Pinnacle, she did not show any signs of complacency or arrogance.
Back in Daqier City, facing the Sea People who were also at Knight's Pinnacle, the immense pressure and defense they exhibited were something she believed she could not overcome even now.
There are distinctions within Knight's Pinnacle, and the Sea People's strength was already close to the Great Knight realm, with no weaknesses to exploit.
If he had not been killed by Freya after being amplified by Ice Blue Earrings, he would likely have broken through to Great Knight in no time.
Taking a slight breath, Freya focused her mind as a gentle flow of energy emanated from her body like a refreshing breeze.
She raised the wooden sword in her hand, slightly pulled it back to assume a thrusting position while rapidly shaking her hand at a certain frequency.
A faint buzzing sound could be heard intermittently.
The Piercing Sword Technique is primarily an agility-based swordsmanship style, with its only shortcoming being a lack of power. However, the creator of the Piercing Sword Technique compensated for this with an imaginative approach, allowing it to surpass Knight Level swordsmanship through layering...
With extremely high precision and speed, it achieves a qualitative change through quantity, maximizing its inherent advantages.
This was originally the breakthrough method that Freya had painstakingly devised, and now the Final Chapter of the Stabbing Sword has confirmed her previous correct assumptions.
Buzz...
The trembling of the wooden sword grew faster, tiny traces flickering at the Sword Tip as if they were starlight.
Freya gazed ahead, and as the buzzing grew louder, her body suddenly leaned forward, thrusting the wooden sword out.
Pop!
Like a bubble bursting in water, a distinct silver point of light suddenly flashed at the Sword Tip, then vanished in an instant.
Maintaining the Stiletto stance, Freya's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, yet she fixed her gaze on the fleeting silver point of light, her eyes brightening slightly.
"This kind of power... can break through the defenses of the Sea People."
Although it was just a point of light, with her current perspective, she could clearly see the force behind this strike; even if it struck an iron plate, it would definitely penetrate through.
However... while this layering method was powerful, it was somewhat taxing for her to execute at present. This strain was not only in terms of power but also in precision control.
"If I exert myself fully, this method cannot be sustained for more than two minutes; otherwise, I would collapse from exhaustion."
As she lowered her stance, Freya carefully analyzed the wooden sword in her hand.
"However, once I break through to Great Knight level, I should be able to use this technique freely. Besides, combat itself is a fast-paced affair; two minutes is enough to change many people's fates."
Although her mind was still thinking, she once again took a stance and began to practice.
Skills become more familiar the more they are practiced. Even an ordinary military sword technique can yield results with enough training, let alone the Great Knight level Piercing Sword Technique.
In the empty Swordsmanship Classroom, a strange buzzing sound echoed continuously.
As Freya practiced a few more times, her exceptionally high intellect allowed her to faintly grasp a hint of a technique that could save effort, and her spirit became increasingly invigorated.
The turbulent air currents were gradually unraveled by her, and her Knight's Pinnacle strength occasionally manifested as vague afterimages during practice.
Though her golden hair was tied up, some strands fell loose as her emotions soared with each repetition.
She was currently practicing some ordinary Stiletto stances, exerting maximum effort to achieve the greatest training effect.
In a moment of clarity, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and the wooden sword in her hand vanished in an instant. Then, a circle of white air coalesced into a conical shape and thrust forward sharply.
"Whoosh!!"
A bright silver streak appeared suddenly, accompanied by the sound of rushing wind.
Not far away, on the wall in the direction she had thrust, a small circular hole appeared, surrounded by faint cracks.
The violent sword strike generated a whirlwind that finally scattered her tied-up hair, which slowly fell against her back.
"To think I could achieve this from a distance..."
Her chest heaved violently; although she had already exhausted more than half of her stamina, she was still stunned as she gazed at the hole she had created.
"This kind of power, if used in Waltz, would definitely create a terrifying scene. Is this what Stiletto's Final Chapter is like?"
Freya found it hard to imagine.
The air around her gradually calmed down, and she estimated that the students would be arriving soon. Just as she was about to put away her wooden sword and take a short break, she suddenly noticed Laika staring at her with an expression of utter shock, which left Freya momentarily stunned.
She had been so absorbed in her practice that she hadn't noticed when Laika had arrived.
"You... you are a Knight... at the Pinnacle...?" Laika stammered, his usual stern demeanor faltering due to his overwhelming excitement.
Seeing Laika's reaction, Freya understood his feelings. After all, Laika, as a teacher at the academy, was only at the intermediate level among Knights. Now, suddenly witnessing his student reach a level he had almost given up on accepting was understandably hard for him to process. Initially, he had even considered categorizing Freya into the beginner class because of her learning Stiletto.
Without responding verbally, Freya simply nodded lightly, confirming Laika's guess.
In terms of strength, she had never intended to hide it; she just chose not to reveal it earlier for the sake of modesty. Now that she had been discovered, she decided to admit it directly.
Seeing Freya's candid acknowledgment transformed Laika's shock into excitement. Faced with a powerful Knight's Pinnacle warrior he had longed to meet, he could hardly contain himself even though she was one of his familiar students.
"I would like to ask you something."
Just as he was about to inquire further, a commotion of footsteps and voices approached from not far away; clearly, the group of students had arrived.
