The Useless 8th Prince

Six Basic Movements

At night, Ciel looked bored while sitting on his bed. Closing his eyes, he recalled the people he had met in the morning. From the data Camellia gathered, there was almost nothing suitable to serve as a special force. In other words .. their talent is quite bad.

Should I change my plan?

Ciel frowned. After a long time of pondering, he finally decided.

Let's look for hidden talents in society. The Eye of the Lord is not just a show. For now ... we improve the quality of the soldiers first.

From tomorrow, Ciel will reconstruct his warrior system. He wants them to improve soon because one month later he will be the arrival of an important guest. Those guests were former nobles residing in his territory.

Ciel planned to invite them to become his subordinates. If they resist .. something less pleasant may have to happen. He will drive them out of his territory and replace them with new ones. If they rebelled, he could only clean them up.

Opening his eyes, an ominous glint was seen in Ciel's eyes. Raising his left hand, the young man's expression turned cold. In a split second, black lightning danced around his hands before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

“Kill, huh? In my past or present life I have never done it. I hope that kind of thing doesn't need to happen,” muttered Ciel.

Shaking lightly, Ciel immediately lay on his bed. But before falling asleep, the young man heard a knock on the door. Sighing deeply, he decided to get up and examine it.

Opening the door, Ciel is startled by Camellia's arrival. More precisely, it was shocked because of the appearance of the girl. Seeing the girl in thin sleepwear that was quite open, she involuntarily swallowed the saliva.

“What's up, Camellia?”

“Because last afternoon I have made you angry, I came to apologize, Mr.”

Clearing his mind, Ciel shook his head lightly.

“No problem. I also thank you for helping so much. Tomorrow will be busier, rest soon.”

“T-But Mr. ..”

“Why?”

“In these two days you are so busy. I'm afraid you're too exhausted. How about I massage you, Mister?”

Ciel was stunned for a moment. He looked at Camellia's red face. The view goes down. Just below Camellia's neck is a tattoo with a vertical eye image, on either side of the eye are six black wings. It was Ciel's sigil or magic mark.

Bound by a soul contract, Camellia's life is in Ciel's hands. The young man could easily have the girl in front of him do the thing he wanted. It's just that Ciel didn't think to do it. The reason he made the soul contract worse than the slave contract was a matter of loyalty.

Not wanting to be betrayed, Ciel decided to make that contract. If asked who was the person Ciel trusted in this world, without a doubt he would answer Camellia. Because with a soul contract, a soul slave who intends to betray the master will lose his life.

A gentle smile appeared on Ciel's face as she grunted both sides of Camellia's shoulders.

“Thank you for worrying about me, Camellia. But you need to rest now. I need you to help me tomorrow, ok?”

Camellia looked a little disappointed but immediately replied, “As you wish, Mr.”

Seeing Camellia who was leaving, Ciel shook his head lightly. He took a deep breath while thinking.

It's not that I don't want to and I'm not interested, but now is not the time to do that kind of thing.

...***...

The next morning after breakfast, Ciel who was wearing his equipment went to the training ground. She looked so elegant and cold in all-black clothes. The chest guards, arms, and shoes were made from the scales of the Abyssal Basilisk, a level 5 Demonic Beast. A black sword that gave off a dark aura every few breaths once hung on the left side of his waist.

The people who saw Ciel were shocked. From the looks of it, the Prince looked strong and domineering. It was just that they felt regret for the high-level equipment worn by Ciel. The reason is simple, they think that the equipment is only used as ‘shadows’ because their master is notoriously useless.

In the Imperial Palace, no one even saw the 8th Prince practicing. Never mind practicing, they had never seen him pull a sword from its sheath. Ciel noticed the gazes of those people but chose to be silent.

Arriving at the training ground, Ciel was quite satisfied when he saw the soldiers had lined up neatly. Standing in front of the warrior line, he nodded lightly.

“Good morning all.”

“Good! I won't make small talk. I will announce something important. From now on, the ranks of the Black Lily knights are disbanded!”

Everyone was immediately surprised. But Ciel immediately interrupted.

“I will create three new regiments namely Striker, Defender, and Watcher. I've made a list. From now on you will be separated into three parts. Besides ...”

Ciel began to explain the concept of his idea. The people looked surprised, but they finally nodded knowing that their master's plan had turned out to be very good. Of course there are some people who doubt. But they remained silent because they had agreed to the agreement made the previous day.

“I myself understand that you have developed many types of battle techniques. But what I want to say .. Your foundation is not solid!

Therefore, I plan to rebuild your foundation. When we're done, we'll go to the next stage. Do you guys understand?”

“Present, Sir!” answer them in unison.

Nodding lightly, Ciel immediately went to the side of the field and took out a training sword made of wood. The young man then returned to his place. In front of those people's eyes, he stood quietly.

“What I'm going to show you now is basic training. Wait what else? Take your training swords and take positions!”

“Ready, Sir!”

After a while, Ciel smiled as he looked at the line of people looking at him curiously. Holding the training sword with both hands, Ciel began to explain.

“What I will teach you is called ‘Six Basic Movement’. Of course, this is the most basic foundation. But the basics are not just for trivialization.

This movement consists of vertical slash, horizontal slash, diagonal slash, puncture, stalk, and avoidance.”

After saying that, Ciel immediately practiced the six movements. After he finished, he saw people staring at him with stunned expressions.

“Looks easy, doesn't it?”

“Iya, Sir!”

“Then you try to practice it now. I almost forgot, you guys counted yourself. 100 Times in the morning and evening. If anyone does not do it or does not manage to solve it .. hehehe, you will get a small penalty.”

“Good, Master!”

“Wait moreover, do it now!”

Seeing the people starting to take positions and train, Ciel took a walk while watching them. The young man's eyes narrowed.

“What a gesture it is! Straighten your upper body parts. Swing it hard and hard. Don't do it like a hungry chicken! Didn't you guys have breakfast?”

“Understanding, Sir!”

It didn't take long, Ciel's screaming voice came back.

“Firmly! Do it firmly! What the fuck is that leg movement? It's just a vertical slash and you can't do it well. If it's like this .. you take too long to finish it.

Oho! I almost forgot. For the unfinished, there is no lunch!”

Hearing Ciel's words, the soldiers were stunned again. Some have the courage to ask how to do it right. The prince was not angry at all and showed it to them.

The movements Ciel made were absolutely perfect as if it had been done hundreds of thousands of times before. Many people underestimate and try to imitate it, but they are aware …

This basic movement technique was not easy at all!
