Reynald has made his training schedule. The first day of training arrived. He'll be practicing swordsmanship with Grant.
Both of them were on the royal training ground, facing off with wooden swords in hand.
"Mr Reynald, have you ever studied martial arts, especially in your world before?"
"God, my grandfather taught me."
"Oh, then, don't hesitate to take it all out."
Reynald nodded. The two put up horses to start the exercise.
Reynald approached slowly with horses to perform the Men technique (a kendo sword technique that attacks the head). Grant easily brushed off the attack leaving Reynald slightly pushed back.
"Strike me stronger!"
Reynald restored his balance.
"Yes!"
He calmed himself, took a deep breath and exhaled. However, while he was trying to restore his composure, Grant darted very quickly and attacked him.
Reynald swung his sword to the lower right side, trying to repel Grant's attack. However, Grant's strength far exceeded Reynald's bounce and push a few meters.
What an incredible power! inner Reynald.
Grant swung his sword left and right, then again prepared to attack Reynald.
What was that just now? Why was his attack so fast? What ... is he a human being beyond reason? it was Reynald who then realized something. Beyond reason ....
"Don't daydream when you're in battle!" shouted Grant who swung the sword from above aiming for the head.
Reynald was again surprised by Grant's super-fast attack. He quickly thought of dozens of options he could make to dodge the attack.
Damnit damnit! Too fast! inner Reynald then raised his sword upwards and grasped the handle of the sword with all his might.
Grant smiled. He called off the attack from above and kicked Reynald until it bounced and dragged far enough away.
"Mr Reynald, your defense is wide open. You are too focused on the attack from above to put all your strength and focus on both of your hands."
Reynald tried to stand up. "Yes .. thanks for the advice. However, I guarantee something like this won't happen again." Reynald smiled wiping the blood coming out of his left lip with his left sleeve. Reynald then held the sword with his right hand only.
Grant smiled. "Yes, therefore I am glad to be able to train you!" Grant returned at a speed beyond human reason.
I guessed! inner Reynald who was happy because his guess was right. He smiled, making Grant a little suspicious. However, Grant continued his assault.
Grant swung his sword from above. Reynald slightly raised the right hand that held the sword upwards. Grant, who felt that Reynald had been eaten into his trap, instantly changed the direction of the attack path to the side.
Swooshes!
Grant's sword swings past the bowed Reynald. Reynald who managed to evade Grant's attack left Grant shocked in disbelief.
The lowered Reynald quickly swung his sword upwards, trying to strike at Grant's chin. Grant, who noticed the direction of the attack, immediately raised his sword forward, trying to cover the direction of Reynald's attack.
However, Reynald managed to fool Grant. He took off his sword for a moment, and spun around quickly and then gave a deep kick to Grant's left face. Grant made two steps back and almost lost his balance.
Reynald, who had not wasted a chance and saw the gap, immediately took back his sword which was still in the air and turned around to increase the power of his sword swing.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Reynald!" said Grant in panic.
Reynald stopped his attack just before his wooden sword blade hit Grant's back neck.
"Ma-sorry .. I seem to be overdoing it" said Reynald, who was surprised by him.
"No, that's not what I mean." Grant stood back easily. "Your attack is amazing. However, to my question, how do you know my trick?"
"Ah, your speed trick?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"I know, but I mean, how can you use that magic?"
"Oh, uhm .. I'm just trying to imagine how to get myself to move lighter and faster."
"Are you not casting a spell?"
"Switch a spell?" Reynald was confused to hear Grant's question.
Grant laughed heartily at Reynald's confused face. "Sorry, sorry. I've just remembered that you're the Chosen One. However, I didn't expect that you could develop this fast."
"Oh, hahaha .." Reynald's stiff laughter that didn't understand Grant's intent.
"I'm sorry for asking to stop suddenly. If you'd like to, let's continue the exercise."
"Yes, of course!"
The exercise continued until the afternoon.
Reynald's breath was already breathless, yet he still stood in the stance to continue the "fight".
Grant, who saw Reynald's fighting spirit, smiled happily, put the sword's back on his right shoulder and said, "Well, let's finish today's training, Mr. Reynald."
Reynald let out a deep breath and bowed saying, "Thank you for the hard work."
Grant was a little surprised, but he quickly responded by doing the same. "Thank you for your hard work too."
Reynald's permission to leave the training ground to Grant. After being given permission by Grant, he left Grant.
"Albert, did you see that?" asked Grant who looked at Reynald from afar.
"Yes, it's amazing. He can use magic like you have just by looking at it" replied Albert who communicates through telepathic magic.
After finishing training, Reynald rested himself for a moment with a hot bath. Inside a sizable royal bathtub, Reynald relaxed his body and leaned against the rim of the bathtub with both hands forming right-angles on the rim of the bathtub.
"What a tiring day .... Tomorrow, I still have to practice magic and later tonight, I have to learn about this world. Hahaha ..not in this world, not on Earth, I'm always busy. It seems to be my destiny ...."
After finishing the bath, Reynald immediately headed to his room, reading some books that had been prepared by the waiter as requested by Reynald. Not only preparing books, but the waiter has also served food and drinks that have been coated with magic so that they can recover energy even though they do not sleep.
"Oh, really? Can you teach me about this magic?" reynald's amazement to the servant.
"Te-of course," replied the maid who was a little embarrassed.
***
The morning has arrived. As scheduled, Reynald will practice magic with Albert. However, Reynald asked Albert to not only teach him about magic, but also things related to the world that Reynald had just lived in.
Inside the library, Reynald and Albert sat facing each other. Albert shows a map of the world and introduces Reynald to Reynald a "new world.
"The world you live in today is called Thavma, which means miracle. As you know, the wonders of this world do not just appear. Miracles can arise because of something called magic. Magic is something that can make everything possible, even bringing you up as the Chosen One.
"Then as you can see, the world is divided into three continents. The continent we live in is the Continent of Sievaria, which means victory. Then there is the Continent of Kavidenia, which means it is diverse because on the continent there are various types of races. And finally, Huizuna Continent, the continent with the smallest plains, but has the widest sea. This is because the creatures that live on the continent are amphibians."
Learning continues, Reynald who easily understands makes Albert can teach many things faster than he expected. He had made and summarized the material to be taught for a month, but all of it was surpassed by Reynald in just one day.
In fact, for Reynald it wasn't enough. After Albert taught everything he had designed to teach for a month, Reynald continued his teaching sessions by reading various books in the library.
Reynald's cleverness overwhelmed Albert. He who is usually always excited by things smelling science, leaning limply in his chair. Even so, he was very happy. He can be a living witness to the birth of a transforming figure in the future, even becoming his teacher.
Day after day continued, as did Reynald's daily activities. Exercise from morning to evening, followed by self-study at night.
Until finally, that day came. The day Reynald took his second step toward fulfilling his destiny as "The Chosen One".
