"Are you ready?“ Ask Kuro.
"Wheel"
"Then I'll explain about my sword skills. Youso furo no Tsurugi**"
Today Shamus and I are starting to learn Kuro's unique sword stream. As per the schedule that we all agreed on, when the academy lessons are over, the three of us will learn something to increase our knowledge and fighting ability as a provision to pass the final exam.
"My sword flow is different from the usual western sword flow. Because maybe the shape of the sword is different. So I'm not sure if this can be mastered or not" Kuro explained.
What is his intention to ridicule?
"But if it's good." Kuro said with a smile.
Oh he's sincere.
"Alvin perhatiin yeru yahoo." - Kuro.
"Eh? I-I'm careful." I replied as I looked away.
Kuro looked at me with a doubtful look. But then he continued his explanation.
"Yoso furo no Tsurugi is a stream of swords that harnesses the properties of every element in the world. Therefore every movement will make the flow of energy and that energy will turn into the element that is expelled."
Kuro pulled out his sword from the sheath. "It's like this."
Kuro shakes his fighters aside very quickly. There was lightning covering his sword.
"This is one of the streams of Yoso furo no Tsurugi."
Kuro put his sword back in the sheath. He then raised 7 fingers.
"There are 7 streams in Yoso furo no Tsurugi. I'll explain one by one."
Me and Shamus nodded.
"The first stream is Honoo no michi or the road of fire. Which has a strong, fast, and smoldering nature. Then Mizu no michi or waterway. Which has a calm and flowing nature. This flow that tricked Alvin at that time." Kuro said with jail.
Jeez, her jail face remains cute. I can't be angry.
"Then the third. Kaze no michi or wind way. Its nature is boisterous and stifling. Then Tsuchi no michi or dirt road. It is rough, rough, and strong. Then Kojo no michi, the plant path. Its nature is creeping and binding. Then my favorite, Kaminari no michi. Lightning path. As it looks its nature is snatching and very fast. "
Kuro took a breath. We listen carefully.
"For the last two this is a bit different than before. Hikari no michi, the path of light and Yami no michi, the path of darkness. These two schools can't be taught haphazardly so I can't teach."
"Why?" my many.
"Because it's dangerous."
"What kind of danger?" This time Shamus was curious.
"Hikari no michi abilities that take the life energy of its users to bring out extraordinary powers. And Yami no michi, different from each stream, Yami no michi has only one technique. But it's so hard."
"Technik flicking?“
"Yes.. A technique called Kagekiri. Shadow slash. This technique allows users to attack and can not be detained. As long as the slash passes through the enemy, then instantly the enemy will die."
"Can't be fought at all?" My toot.
"It can only be withheld by the same technique. And it's very rare for people to be able to use this technique." Kuro explained.
Shamus and I understood.
"Is there any more questions?"
Shamus and I were silent. We both have no questions.

"For you you have to swing a lot hard many times" Kuro said.
"Well I understand." replied Shamus.
"Do 1000 hard swings huh." Kuro ordered.
Shamus. "I'm ready."
Kuro smiled then turned towards me.
"Give instructions to Shamus?"
"It has. Now it's your turn Alvin." said Kuro.
"Well, do you think I should learn which flow first?“
"Hm... Because of your affinity do you want to go straight to Mizu no michi?“ ask Kuro.
"Hoooh! I want that!" I cried with enthusiasm.
"But Mizu no michi is the hardest stream to learn. Even I'm not very good." Kuro explained.
"Ga what what what. I'd like to learn something about that transferable attack."
"Nagaremizu? It was the first technique of Mizu no michi."
"First technique?! Mean basic technique dong?!“
Kuro nodded.
" Chey, I lost to a basic attack."
Kuro smiled awkwardly. "Although basic, it's a difficult technique to learn."
"I accept the challenge of adversity." I reply.
"Hooh, good spirit. Now I'll give you an example." Kuro said.
I nodded and began to notice.
"Mizu no michi is basically the ability to deflect attacks. The enemy can be fooled. And to master it, you must master the movement of good and flexible hands. I'll show you the first technique or Saisho no ren: Nagaremizu."
Kuro raised the wooden sword with both hands. "Look carefully, I'll slash it slowly."
Kuro began to move his sword from the upper right. But a moment later, the sword smoothly slanted towards the left and completed its slash from the left.
"Lohs?! How can I do it?“ I'm confused.
"Note to Alvin's hand movements, not his slash." Kuro's orders were upset.
"Hooh sorry sorry." I replied with a stupid smile.
"I'll repeat again."
This time I noticed the movement of his hands. His right hand is above his left. And after that I was surprised by what I saw. The right hand that was previously above the left hand, moved down in the middle of the attack and made the direction of the slash change.
"Like that." Kuro said. "And if we use energy, it'll be like this."
I again saw the attack that hit me while fighting Kuro. Kuro's slash began to emit a clear stream of water. The initial slash was not so fast, switching the direction of the attack and darting fast. I was stunned to see that. Once people are fooled then attacks will definitely be difficult to avoid.
"Well now, you practice the movement of your hands just like I did before." Kuro ordered.
I nodded in understanding. It may seem simple, but the results are really complicated. But I'm sure I can master this quickly.
