Azur Lane:The Royal Knight

Royal Training

No One's POV

the day and night went by with little to no action as Azur Lane continued as it normally would.the Shipgirls did their sorties, tasks and training while the Leaders of the two factions worked in organizing and planning 

there had been no word and no reports of any Crimson Axis activity and there were little reports about the Sirens being active either.many thoughts circled around as to what was going on or what could be happening but there was no concrete proof to be certain of anything

Eagle Union wanted to gather more intel on the Sakura Empire but as things stood, there were abit too many complications on the base to make a solid move for their plan.the Royal Navy was more focused on keeping their wits up as carefulness around Royal was still extensively kept by all shipgirls

as for said Shipboy, he had gotten up earlier than everyone in the morning.ever since he received the advice from his Calamity yesterday, he had already planned his own activities and duties for the entire day, which included extensive and rigorous training that he did not want interrupted, in order to quickly master his new power

with this plan in mind.Royal snuck out of the Royal Navy's tower and made his way to the nearest edge that overlooked the ocean's water.looking around to see and sensing that no one was around, Royal summoned his rigging and hopped straight onto the water.quickly making his way out to open sea and away from the base before anyone could wake up and follow him

thanks to the scouting he had done from when he had first arrived at the Azur Lane base, he knew of a good place to do the training at.it was far enough that he wouldn't be disturbed by the sortie fleets but it was close enough to make a dash back to the base if he was ever in grave danger  

thanks to his incredible speed, it didn't take Royal long to reach a small group of islands.it was a simple formation of 3 islands that were very small, having utmost 1-3 trees and very steep downhill slopes that led into the water.it was the perfect location to push himself to the limits without disturbance

summoning his sword as he sensed his own power grow around him, Royal prepared himself as he raised his guard, ready for anything that might happen as slivers of dark power began to swirl around the area.he had sensed that his dark counterpart had began to stir up trouble as a power inside him that he was not controlling was beginning to rise

Royal(mind):you were quite quick to notice that I was alone 

Royal?:hahaha, do you believe I'd miss a chance for some chaos and fun, consider this my contribution to your training, so go on, show Me what you can really do

from the slivers of darkness, they combined to form figures that resembled Royal as they wielded a similarly shaped sword.they came in quantity but it was easy to sense that they were relatively fragile and easy to beat.though knowing that the Calamity in Royal, thinking it was easy was far from the truth

luckily for Royal, it was quite sunny and time it took for him to get to the area already let the sun rise into the sky.this gave him an advantage he typically always had as he readied himself to fight and edged his sword with the power of the light

his opponents quickly charged at him in a wave like fashion as a small group came one after another.when the first group of three arrived, Royal immediately sliced one in half, then blocked a strike from the second before pushing them back to kill the third one that followed behind, then killing the second one he had pushed back with a blast from his cannons

the 2nd group and 3rd group came at the same time as Royal blasted the water to create a screen that blocked their view of him.he then sliced at the screen of water and killed two opponents before another two charged at him with their blades overhead
