"Antika!"
A young girl entered the arena. I don't think he's even twenty yet. He still looks like a teenager with a fertile chest. Her face was beautiful with brownish hair that was in the ponytail. He had a pretty good sword.
"Chairman!" everybody says so.
Name's Alice. He was the strongest swordsman in the city. He was the head of a sword group. He was able to contend with high-level mages who had almost broken through to the holy level. He's pretty good according to the rumors of these guys.
"You should know, if a sword is the treasure of a swordsman. Let me test it"
Ah, this is gonna be fun. Exchanging sword styles with beautiful girls is quite interesting.
"alright. Please start" I said in response to the challenge.
"I'm starting!" he immediately took a quick step.
It's impressive. After a long time I have encountered an opponent like this. The movement is good, the power is strong. The manager has almost no gap at all. He deserved the strongest swordswoman glass in the city.
The sound of our sword fighting echoed over the arena. The rapid movement almost made some people unable to see our movements. Sell the sword we show in front of them. It was like the performance of two swordsmen with high skills fighting in front of them. Well, even if he only used a little strength, but he was able to survive until now.
"You're pretty awesome. But you still have a lot of loopholes" I said after stopping my sword right around his neck.
"Curtain! Don't be arrogant!" revealed. He's trying to dodge. Fighting continued.
He's persistent too. But I get bored like this. Although he was trained, but the shortcomings were quite a lot.
"You're too slow, miss" I said after stopping my sword right in his face.
He tried to dodge and continued to attack.
"If this is a real battle, your neck will be cut"
He dodged again and again. Her spirit is very good. Yet.
THE KLAAANGG!
Alice's sword bounced away. I pointed my sword in front of him who was now sitting with a hunting breath. He lost!
"It's over" I said as I left the arena.
"Wait!" the screams stopped my steps.
"Make me your disciple" he knelt before me.
"Oh, student" I said unconsciously.
"Eh, student?" we were all surprised.
I had expected him to exert all his abilities, but this was unexpected. He wants to be a student? This is too much. I have never received a student so far. What will I teach you?
Meanwhile rumors about him that a level nine swordsman wanted to become a disciple of a novice of this guild. It's great news that a level nine swordsman wants to become a disciple of a novice. Instantly the question of who I really am will be an enigma to them and there will be people who find out who I really am. Ah, troublesome.
"really. I, Alice Laurent, swear to serve you with all your body"
"Eh, wake up"
I feel bad. There was a killing aura so powerful from around. Alice's admirers did not accept.
"This disciple doesn't care. This student will serve the teacher with all his heart. I'll devote everything to the teacher" said Alice, making the misunderstanding increasingly common.
"h-huh. You can be my student. B-but you can pull your word about giving it everything just now. I'm not feeling good"
After I said that the atmosphere was getting gripping. Jealousy has taken them. It felt like the air here was a bit congested because of their jealousy.
"can't. What I have said cannot be withdrawn anymore. That's my way"
Ouch. He's an innocent what a bloon anyway. He doesn't realize what he's saying. He made everyone here take his oath. Its bad.
"Y-yes, it's up to you" I said as I left the arena.
....
With Alice I was ranked tenth. It means that I am now the only and first time a swordsman has got that rank.
The news about me spread quickly. Like the wind that blows, the rumor that says if Alice becomes my wife gets stronger after she comes to live with me on one roof.
I got a house as a reward for having broken through rank ten. It was the only one in this Blue Feather kingdom. Well, it's better than having to hang out with a plain girl with me. It'll be a problem if I bring him here. She will lose her dignity as a woman.
"Well, Alice. It's time for practice" I said.
"Ready, Master" she was swiftly in her position.
"Eh, don't wear that. Wear this" I threw a tree trunk in lieu of a sword.
"Woodsword?" said confusion.
I just nodded.
Well, I'll teach it from the basic moves only. When viewed, he has enough energy, so we skip the physical reinforcement and go straight to the basic movement.
"Try to follow my moves" I said as I showed three initial moves.
The movement is pretty basic. The movements included horses, attacks, and defenses. Actually this movement there are many versions and has been developed according to each college. Even so, the techniques taught by grandfather emphasized the power of attack and defense simultaneously. Of course this is quite difficult, but it will be beneficial for swordsmen later.
As the media streamlined the movement I had already provided the dolls I made out of straw. This will ease him in training. I also arranged her practice and rest time so as not to burden her too much. This is actually different from what my grandfather taught me. I can hardly rest at all. What's more every midnight I'm gonna be on the hill and have to get off before sunrise. Ah, if I remember it it feels like crying.
"Create attack! Watch your farm!"
"Yes, Master!"
This is the best. I'm not going to apply the cruel exercises I used to feel. Although the result will take time, at least he has a strong determination capital.
....
In the last few weeks Alice has always practiced on time. No word of protest. I also taught some of the first breathing techniques. Although this is different from the style of red thread dance, this style is my modal developed the technique of red thread dance.
I'm also a little relieved that Alice can also use mana. That way I stayed to teach him the sword magic technique with a little mana. Although I can't use at least Alice's rabbit to experiment with that technique. I hope he can master it.
"So, it's been nine months"
Well, time goes by so fast. Nine weeks is a short time. But he seems to be able to master enough of what I teach. In this way only the application of the style of sword and combine the styles that he mastered to make it one step stronger again.
