After Awakening a Mage Talent, the Heroine Makes Her Mark with Swordsmanship

Ming Zhao had always dreamed of becoming a swordswoman like her father, and had practiced swordsmanship with him ever since she was little. She never expected to awaken a mage-type ability.

But that was all right. A beautiful girl who couldn't become an excellent swordswoman couldn't be a good mage, either.

No matter what, she would never give up the sword her father had given her.

From then on, everyone knew the name Ming Zhao: a swordsmanship master who should have been a mage.

Bonus Scene:

During combat class, students paired up to spar. Jin Shouzhi was the first to face Ming Zhao. As a spearman, he thought he should go easy on a one-star mage with a sweet smile and a cute face.

To his surprise, Ming Zhao didn't use her staff to cast a spell at all. She simply drew her sword and chased after him, swinging at him.

After facing the first girl he'd ever seen attack so ferociously, Jin Shouzhi was left with a psychological scar. From then on, every time he saw a girl, he felt afraid.

This is a Western fantasy magic story wearing a space-opera setting. The heroine is a mage, but she likes using a sword. Her inspiration is a certain heartless great mage from FGO.

Also, this story has a lot going on and even involves mythology. The details are all my own interpretation.

Lastly, my writing is rough, the pacing is slow, and it's full of tired tropes. The logic is dead, so please don't take it too seriously.
