Chapter 229 - Shirone and Nico are training together?

After watching part of the battle between Tobio and Kouki, Drako returned home again.

Drako's intention was to observe Nico's improvements at Grigori and then see how Shirone had improved with Mordred's training. However, there was a small problem, as neither of them was at Grigori.

As Natsume had told Drako, it seemed that after giving the morning theory classes, Zoe had brought Nico to the residence to do joint training with Mordred and Shirone.

Drako soon arrived using the teleportation circles that connected the two locations.

"I really should learn how to create these magical circles," Drako reflected as he used them.

Previously, Drako had not bothered to learn how to use them because he lacked sufficient magical power. And, naturally, this was no longer the case. It had been several months since Drako had evolved into a Dragon King, and he might have been able to use them since he was a Dragon.

Fortunately, Drako hadn't needed to use these teleportation circles for anything other than going to Grigori. However, now he could put them to good use with his possible future trips to the U.S. He could even use them to get home from anywhere, so this magic was very convenient.

Once he arrived home, Drako looked for the three girls' presence and the boy he was looking for. Interestingly, they were in the room next to the one he had used to investigate the Sephiroth Graal with Lavinia and Valerie.

Upon entering, they seemed to be in the midst of a break.

"You must be careful how you use your powers, Nico," Zoe was saying to the ten-year-old. "It can't be that every time you use them, you end up this exhausted."

The boy in question, Nico di Angelo, was lying on the floor. He was pale, paler than usual, although that was something to expect from a son of Hades. As Drako could deduce from Zoe's words, this extreme pallor stemmed from the overuse of skills on the boy's part.

A pity, since it seems that Drako was not going to be able to see how Nico had improved after all these weeks. He really wanted to see the fruits of the young demigod's training.

With a quick Inspect Status, Drako could see that Nico's MP had indeed reached 0. This was something really dangerous, which Drako had more than once experienced. Being a dragon, Drako had always been able to resist it with relative ease. However, Nico was a fragile child, who was just beginning to understand what it meant to be a demigod.

Nico was still a human.

On the other hand, Shirone was drinking water from a bottle that Mordred had given her. Unlike Nico, she was barely sweating.

"Master!" Mordred shouted when she noticed Drako's presence.

"Hello," Drako greeted everyone in the room.

"Drako..." Nico tried to get up from the ground, but Zoe stopped him on the floor. "Don't get up yet. Rest for a while."

Shirone did approach Drako, wagging her only tail as she joyfully walked towards the dragon.

"Nii-sama, what are you doing here," Shirone asked with a smile, obviously happy for Drako's presence.

"I had intended to watch you both train, to see how much you had improved." Drako could hear a whimper from Nico, and Zoe had to keep him on the floor to force him to stop moving. "As far as I can see, Nico, you're in no condition to continue training."

"Yes, I can!"

Once again, Nico tried to get up, but Zoe had him well secured.

"Calm down. Even if you try, you won't be able to use a drop of magic," Drako said.

Disappointment could be seen on the face of Nico, who wanted to show Drako all that he had achieved in his training, both at Grigori and with Zoe. But, this didn't seem to be his day, and he was going to have to wait for another day to show Drako his improvement.

"Sigh, you're too impulsive," Zoe couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, it's not bad to be impulsive," Drako said. "Being willing to get better is the most important thing when you're training, the first step you have to take. The fruits of your effort may take a little while to come, but they will come. I can assure you of that."

Drako's words didn't just reach Nico, who Drako was addressing, but they also reached Shirone, Mordred and Zoe.

Shirone was in a similar state to Nico, although she had been training for over two years. She still had a lot to grow and mature, so she could gradually approach the level of her Nee-sama and Nii-sama.

Or at least that was her goal.

Zoe and Mordred were already very strong, their effort had already shown results. Before becoming the Servants of Drako, they were among the most powerful of their respective generations. Mordred was the young talent at the round table, while Zoe was the most powerful Hunter. These words from Drako reminded them of all the effort they had had to make to reach these places before they met Drako.

Leaving Nico aside, Drako focused on Shirone.

He hadn't noticed it before, as Shirone hadn't had it in her hand before. In fact, he had never seen it before.

I'm talking about the two-meter-long greatsword that was leaning against the wall.

This obviously did not belong to Mordred, since she was using Clarent, nor did it belong to Zoe or Nico, since neither of them used this kind of weapon (I doubt that Nico could even lift it). So, without a doubt, this sword belonged to Shirone.

Moving away from Shirone, Drako took the weapon in his hands.

"Ah, Nii-sama!" Shirone exclaimed as she saw Drako take the weapon.

"Is this yours? It's pretty heavy. Can you really use this greatsword?" Drako asked out of curiosity.

In fact, the greatsword was quite heavy. This one should weigh a lot more than Shirone, so it was not uncommon for Drako to think this was too much for a girl of just 12-13 years old.

However...

"Of course!"

Shirone approached Drako and easily snatched the sword from him. Although she had to hold the sword in two hands, it was a sword that was designed to be used like this from the start; Shirone had almost no difficulty lifting it.

That was her natural strength, the same one that caught Rias Gremory's attention and decided that the crimson-haired princess should use a piece of Rook for Shirone. Although she still had some difficulty carrying the sword, it was something incredible that she could use a weapon that was two or three feet bigger than her.

"Look, Nii-sama!" Shirone screamed as a white aura began to surround her.

Yes, how could Drako have forgotten?

Shirone was a Nekoshou; making use of senjutsu was easy for her, like breathing or walking. With the use of touki, she had no problem using such a large sword.

Drako looked at Mordred and asked, "That sword is of good quality; where did you get it?"

"The Pendragon family is very rich," Mordred said as she shrugged.

Basically, she had taken advantage of her descendants once again.

Drako smiled as he looked at Shirone. A light shone on his right hand, and Laevatein appeared.

"Well, Shirone, why don't you show me how much you've improved over the years?"
