Chapter 12: The Beginning Of Swordsmanship (3)


Rays sword was overwhelmingly large.

Merely holding the sword and standing there, it exuded an intimidation that was no ordinary feat.

No matter how dense Eils Sword Aura might have been, it wasnt powerful enough to overcome such a significant reach difference.

This guy playing dirty

Who started playing dirty first?

Ray smirked and adjusted his grip on the sword.

Even though he merely adjusted the handle, the Sword Aura was so massive that it grazed past Eils nose.

Eil, surrender.

Saein suggested.

But what would become of a mans pride if he surrendered here?

Eil was a man who knew how to preserve his dignity.

Ha, hahaha. Fine. Bring it on!

Im really going for it!

Ray took a step and raised his sword diagonally.

With just one more step, Eil had to take two steps back to block it.

Kagagang-

A loud noise echoed as Eil exhaled sharply.

Ugh

It wasnt just the size that had increased; the density of the Sword Aura had risen as well.

Of course, as a beginner Aura user, he couldnt surpass his own Aura. However, it wasnt as pitifully inadequate as it had been initially.

Despite the unexpectedly large size, Eil approached while parrying Rays attacks.

No matter how large it was, that was all there was to it.

All he had to do was avoid blocking it head-on.

However, Ray seemed to know this, as he refrained from slashing vertically or horizontally as much as possible.

He always sliced diagonally, and if Eil began parrying, Ray would withdraw his sword like a ghost.

It was clear he knew exactly when to unleash and withdraw his sword.

No matter how beginner-level he might have been as an Aura user, the size of his sword was unparalleled.

Even with a careless swing, Eil had to give his best to block or parry it.

However, flaws in swordsmanship are bound to be exposed.

Even though he had learned modern Kendo, it was significantly inferior compared to the swordsmanship in this world where people lived with their swords strapped to their waists.

The key was to determine the victor before Eil adapted to this unfamiliar swordsmanship.

Ray gritted his teeth.

The timing for counter attacking is starting to align. I need to hurry.

Instead of parrying, Eil had begun to block more, indicating he was adapting to his swordsmanship.

Just as Ray was growing impatient, Eil closed the distance.

With the sword being so large, it was challenging to retrieve it immediately.

Ray had no option but to concede the distance to Eil.

Eil swiftly blocked the sword with the handle and attempted to create distance again, but at that moment, Eils foot shot out, striking his hand squarely.

Thump-

For a moment, Ray felt nothing in his hand.

Naturally, the sword soared high in the air before falling to the ground.

Staring blankly at the airborne sword, Ray eventually collapsed to the ground in significant pain.

Ugh

Hahahaha. I won.

Eil laughed and casually strolled towards him, discarding his own sword to the side.

Then he started calling out loudly for Saein.

Saein! Ray is hurt, please treat him.

Saein had gone inside to do some housework in the middle of the story, so she rushed out when she heard Eils call.

Who is hurt? Oh!

She ran as if she was flying.

Having some medical knowledge, she briefly touched Rays hand.

Ouch! That hurts!

He screamed in pain, a sensation he had never experienced in his lifetime.

Having never been seriously injured before, he didnt know that pain could feel this intense.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

After briefly touching his hand, a thoughtful expression crossed her face.



So no matter how large he made it, it wouldnt be a burden.

As they talked, soon, the table was filled with food.

Looking at the sumptuously set table, Ray swallowed his saliva.

For the first time since his birth, he had exerted his body so strenuously, so Saein had thoughtfully prepared a lot of food for Ray.

Upon seeing this, Eils eyes widened in surprise.

It feels like were newlyweds again!

Just after their marriage, Saein used to set the table with an extraordinary amount of care. She prepared so much food that it seemed impolite not to finish it all.

But after two years, the amount of food on the table began to decrease, and it became the norm.

Having grown accustomed to the usual table setting, Eil shed tears at the sight of that days meal.

This is it. This is what care looks like.

After a long time, I wanted to showcase my cooking skills. Eat a lot, my son!

Ray returned his mothers smile.

I will eat well.

Okay, lets eat.

After saying that, he brought the food to his mouth.

The moment the food entered his mouth, an indescribable emotion surged within him like a tidal wave.

The hunger that had been gnawing at his stomach disappeared in an instant.

This is really delicious, Mom!

Saein smiled contentedly at that.

Eat a lot.

Eil spoke as he put meat in his mouth and chewed.

But you mentioned you had something to discuss, right?

Ah.

The moment had finally arrived!

He didnt expect them to understand everything about him.

Honestly, who would believe him if he claimed he had felt the energy of mana since he was a child?

And he had to explain about his unique mana path as well.

Ray took a small breath and looked at their faces before broaching the subject.

Did you guys ever think I was odd when I was little?

You were odd.

Definitely odd.

Ray was quite taken aback by his parents immediate and unanimous response.

No matter how much he anticipated that answer, he didnt think they would respond so promptly.

In what ways was I odd?

Everything.

Yeah. The kid didnt cry much either.

He had nothing to say in response.

Although he was flustered to the point where his mind went blank, Ray took another deep breath and spoke.

Truthfully, I had been feeling mana since I was a child.

But you are still a child, arent you?

Youre a child.

Ah, seriously! What I mean is, I began to feel mana when I was three months old!

Ray had begun to feel mana when he was just three months old.

Of course, he couldnt do anything with it; he could only literally feel it. But this was enough to captivate Saein and Eils attention.

As he had expected, this time Eil and Saein were also surprised.

As expected, our son!

Yes. Thats my son.

But it wasnt the reaction he had wanted.

Ray sighed deeply.

What Circle do you think Im in now?

Neither of them could answer this question hastily.

After a moment of thought, Saein answered first.

Since you can cast 1st Circle spells without an incantation maybe the 3rd Circle?

What are you talking about? Although I dont know the specifics, Rays mana density is very high. Just by looking at that, you can say hes at least in the 4th Circle.

Ray quietly spoke amidst their debate.

I have no Circle.
