Truth Seekers

Chapter 11: Level Up

Seeing Octo who looks confused, even makes Dom more curious, because it is not usually Octo looks like that. But, even though Dom tries to lure him in, Octo is still unwilling to tell him.

"Why are you so stubborn, son?" ask Octo who's getting upset.

"Well, I'll stop asking questions after you answer" Dom replied.

"Well, I'm an expert in swordsmanship. But ... I'm not gonna teach you that skill."

"Huh? Why that?" ask Dom.

"You don't need to know, just get back to training!" scream Octo.

Why is this guy so stubborn.

“But .. according to Uncle Richard, I haven't been able to resurrect which container is on the body. If so, there is a chance that I will not be able to use magic. Therefore, I want to learn the sword while I am still developing.

"I want to be strong, stronger than anyone, so please teach me uncle.” Dom bowed his head to Octo.

Seeing him say that, Octo felt heartless. After thinking back, Octo finally changed his mind.

“Ah .. You are a shitty boy, wake up,” Octo said.

After Dom lifts his head, Octo tells him to wait while he brings something from his house.

When Octo came back, it turned out that something he was carrying was a sword. Dom did not know what to say, because when the sword was grasped by Octo, his face still looked confused.

“Actually Mr. Richard told me not to teach you sword techniques, he did not want your body balance to be disturbed. Because, it is not easy to master magic as well as sword techniques simultaneously.

"One more thing you need to know, if you fail to master both then you can not release all your magic potential as well as your power,” Octo said.

As info, the reason for using sword arts and magic simultaneously is not easy, because it can potentially damage the body if it fails to master it. When using magic, it will accumulate somewhere to create a shock wave that is strong enough to be used to attack or defend.

When it is combined with physical abilities or swords, there can be an imbalance of mana so that the body is not strong to support it. As a result, those who already got magic would not be able to bring out their best potential, even the worst possibility of their magic would be lost.

So that's why he looks like a fool.

“What if I could prove to Uncle Richard that I could master both?” ask Dom with confidence.

Octo's gaze that was originally filled with many thoughts turned normal when he saw the spirit emanating from Dom. Octo realized something that only Dom had.

This kid .. seems to mean it. Is it okay to teach him? No. .. This kid can definitely teach!!!

“Get your hands off boy!!” octo's real yell still wants to be hugged by Dom.

“Ahaha sorry, I'm just too happy.”

“Before you prove to Mr. Richard, you must be able to convince me in advance whether you are worthy to teach me, otherwise don't expect you to touch the sword again.

Maybe I'll bet a little on this kid. But ... I hope Mr. Richard is not angry about this.

“Any Boss, in a few years I will definitely be able to master magic and sword techniques,” Dom replied confidently.

After that, the exercise provided by Octo is a little different and arguably heavier than before. It was not separated from Dom's training pattern that added the sword.

Although often exhausted, Dom still forced to keep practicing because he wanted to prove to Richard and Octo that he was able to learn the ability to sword.

“Srang Sreng Srang,” sword sounds from Octo and Dom.

“Note your horses, sword arts should not be missteps because it could threaten your life,” Octo said.

“Good!!!” shouted Dom.

“Srang,” Octo attack hit Dom's body to make him bounce.

“Uaaa!” Dom slammed into the ground.

“If this is a real sword, maybe you'll die. Come on up, we'll keep practicing until you can understand what I say!!!” scream Octo.

Damn .. I didn't think this would be so hard, but complaining wouldn't solve the problem. I must become strong at all costs!!!

“I'm coming, Hyaaa!” Dom then swung his sword at Octo.

Every morning, Dom secretly practices sword arts in front of his house without Richard's knowledge, as well as when Richard visits Octo's place. Dom pretends to practice as usual while waiting for Richard to leave. Afterwards he returned to practicing sword arts with Octo.

The training experienced by Dom along with Octo lasted up to several years.
