Backdoors: The Survival Guide
Chapter 7: Training
After the meal, we for now still rest to recover. To light up the atmosphere, all of them exchanged stories about their respective lives in the previous world. This can be said to be a way to keep our spirits in this dangerous place, and also with this warm discussion we can build mutual trust in each other.
After a few stories in the end the topic about this place will never be left behind, especially after meeting one monster like the one that chased after us before.
" By the way, what exactly was that creature that was chasing us? It was really terrible "
" I don't know either, I just saw the creature for the first time. It also makes it clear we are not on the earth we know "I thought.
" Since such a monster exists, it is very likely that we will encounter another monster right? " asked Olivia worriedly. Even Hyunsuk who heard that also started to feel a little uneasy.
" I can't confirm it, but we have to prepare for all the possibilities. I'll try to keep this team safe" I said as I gave another sedative.
The two who heard that also felt much better, "I feel Lan is a very reliable person" Olivia said involuntarily with a gentle smile.
" That's right, hyung fits in as the leader of this team "reply Hyunsuk smiled as well.
" Hmm enough to praise me. Let's rest, you sleep first me. We'll take turns keeping watch "
" Good hyung "
" Good Lan "
With that we tried to prepare a makeshift resting place with the tarp we had. As the two rested, I decided to prepare and calculate the supplies we currently had.
After taking into account all the supplies, I estimate at least with the current supplies we can last 6-8 days depending on the conditions. After that we have to find another supply.
In this place, I saw a few boxes of supplies earlier. But because of our position being chased by monsters, I ignored everything, after all life is more important isn't it?
From my analysis, the previous monster seemed interested in the light source from the flashlight we had. But after the light source is gone or in other words the flashlight is destroyed, the creature is again attracted to us.
Because of that, just in case I hang my flashlight in a place that is easy to reach so that if we meet again with the monster we at least have preparation. I also shortened my shirt to make it easier for me to move, my white office shirt has some tight parts that make it hard to move.
After preparing everything, I pulled the katana beside me and decided to practice using it. After all if our group encounters another monster, he at least hopes to have a little ability to guard himself and the others right?
And this was also the first time I held a katana, the katana in my hand had a simple look with a black holster and handle. The smooth surface of the katana itself shows the highly detailed and skilled workmanship process of the craftsmen.
He knew nothing about sword techniques, all the sword techniques I had seen were from movies and books. So I just try to do the basic styles like horizontal slash, vertical, puncture, and self-defense style way. As I continued to practice, I could clearly feel the weight of the sword in my hand, the sensation of the sword slashing in the wind, the standing position and the balance of the body as well as the way of regulating breathing.
Everything was clearly very related, all sword techniques had their own basics. Although I don't know anything about sword techniques, but I'm sure all the elements I mentioned before are very necessary to create a good sword technique. Well even though everything I know comes from books or movies, of course everything they explain has a purpose, right?
I continued to practice and practice, looking for the best stance in the use of the sword. By making various scenarios in my head, I continued to train either when responding to what if the previous monsters attacked, or how the best attack was launched. Not that I would instantly improve after training.
Mastering sword techniques is not a short process, it needs very intense practice and a strong foundation. It is impossible not if I instantly become a sword master just after practicing a swing or two? but at least I have built a foundation or foundation on how to ride.
Time after time passed, in this quiet room there was only the sound of air whistling coming from the slash of my sword.
After a long period of practice, I wiped the sweat off my body and drank some water. I also don't know how long it has been since I've been practicing or how long it's been since I've been transferred to this world, because the clock's function seems useless. And since we were always in the room, we were also unable to see the position of the day. But if I guess by my intuition alone, at least I have been practicing for a few hours.
Deciding to take a break, I took a snack of chocolate bars and ate it. The truth is I don't really like sweet foods, but in this world I can't complain and I didn't say to hyunsuk to always be grateful for all the food. If I turn to my words it is the same as me with a two-faced man.
As I ate the chocolate quietly, I looked around the hall for surveillance. But without me noticing, by the side of the hall was a child-sized creature staring at me silently.
