A nice training sequence. I notice the subtle reminder that Mary is still balancing out her secret identity, noted for my story...
I think the training is cute but if I HAD to pick apart something maybe it goes in a bit too much detail about the sword. I personally like it and don't mind it but I think it makes its point faster than that (Mary is a knowledgeable and kind teacher).
There's also the fact that the sword basics and stuff need some research, because they more detail you go into that topic the more the risk of a knowledgeable reader saying something might be wrong. I assume you did it and most readers won't really think about it but worth thinking when going into detail for any skill.
It's mostly nitpick tier for this specific chapter though.
And if I had to extend something, Mary could celebrate her official acceptance to the guild a bit more since I feel like that's a huge deal for her (maybe I'm getting too into thinking like her) and here is kinda sandwiched in between two training sequences. I just think it would be cuter since she tends to really be happy about these small moments of acceptance.
