“It’s nice to meet you, Big Brother Jörgen. I look forward to your guidance from here on out.” The boy named Skáviðr bowed his head once more.

“Sure,” Jörgen replied dismissively. He didn’t know why, but he was getting more and more irritated by the minute. His pride wouldn’t allow him to let it show, of course, but his aggravation had already mounted to the point that he could barely contain it. This boy seemed to rouse an instinctive response within Jörgen.

“You said you were an Einherjar?” Jörgen muttered.

“Yes sir, I received ‘Dáinsleif, The Bloody Blade’ from Angrboða.”

“That so? Dáinsleif... Then you’re probably pretty good with a sword, I reckon.” An Einherjar’s area of expertise depended on the rune they received, but with a name like that, there was no doubt that it was combat-oriented.

“Well, more or less,” Skáviðr answered.

“Really now? Then to commemorate your induction, how about we head over there, and you can show me exactly how good.” Jörgen jabbed a finger over at the courtyard nearby. He wanted to see that one-in-a-million power for himself—no, truthfully he just wanted to beat this annoying kid senseless. That was it, really.

“That’s perfect. I’ve actually been wanting to spar with you ever since I first saw you, you know.” The corners of Skáviðr’s mouth turned up in a daring grin. That pissed Jörgen off even more. Was he insinuating that he didn’t even see the runeless Jörgen as a threat?! Perhaps he intended to assert his superiority once and for all by defeating his so-called “big brother” right here.

“You little shit!” Of course, Jörgen had the exact same intention, but this child was looking down on him as the kind of weakling he could easily beat. To Jörgen, there was no greater humiliation—and no greater justification to make him kneel.

“Then it’s decided. Follow me.” With a jerk of his chin, Jörgen headed to the courtyard.

Bruno’s mansion was just as spacious as his position might suggest, and his gardens were no exception. When they reached the courtyard, several of his subordinates had just finished sweeping up the fallen leaves strewn on the ground.

“Yo, Jörgen,” said one of his sworn older brothers, Brimir, as soon as he approached. “This the newbie?”

“Yeah, his name’s Skáviðr, and he’s an Einherjar, apparently,” Jörgen replied with a shrug. If he had to evaluate Brimir honestly, he was an ordinary man whose intelligence was just as lacking as his swordsmanship, but he’d received Bruno’s Chalice half a year before Jörgen had, and thus Jörgen had to call him “Big Brother” even though they were in fact the same age. “Under the Chalice, shouldn’t ability take precedence over everything else?!” he wanted to argue, but he knew if he didn’t comply he’d get an earful, so he begrudgingly went along with it. Being in Bruno’s Chalice family was more trouble than it was worth.

“Whoaaa! An Einherjar?! Oh yeah, come to think of it, I did hear something through the grapevine,” Brimir replied in a shocked tone.

“Oh yeah?” Jörgen was
