Sword Whisperer

Of course it wasn't an ordinary week.

Half a day has never been free from headaches. It's the body. However, I tried to inhale the memory level in a week, months, maybe years, so it couldn't have been that easy.

But Van never cried. I can't believe I have a headache with a sword. Isn't that a luxury I never imagined before?

A hundred times better than a headache by memorizing the name of a herb. Not to mention that the Sword is the Sword of the Early Family.

Van sleeps with his sword in his arms. Because of that, I had fewer opportunities to practice five swords, but it was fine. The five stabbings were definitely attractive, but the Seconds' swordsmanship was more attractive than that.

All those who have made the blood of the Early Family are in power that ordinary people can't even imagine.

Gintnell said that the newborn of the Early Family can strangle the snake and slaughter the wolf with their bare hands before the transformer comes.

So their swordsmanship evolved in such a way that it could handle its inherent power.

Like Jenson's slash, their knives reduced the resistance of the air to the blade to a minimum. That's why it was a little different. Jenson's slash was to contain gravity, weight, recoil, and all its power intact on the blade.

And the reason why the Sword of the Earl family draws a perfect line without even a slight slant toward their Sword is to make sure that their overflowing power does not break their Sword.

In a way, in all directions, in all kinds of postures, it was also seen that Jenson's slash was done. From Van's point of view, that was not the only way to be unfamiliar. At least when it comes to slashing, he can already see that he is following the second-family sword.

Of course, for Gintnell, who didn't know about Carl's voice, it was only natural that Van looked like a genius.

”Van."

".. Ah, Lord Gintnell. ”

”Sir Phil! That's central culture. We don't have to follow that all the way to the east. I just like Mr. Gintnell. ’ '

"Yes, Mr. Gintnell."

"I think the basics are already cleaned up. Do you think so yourself? ”

"…… Yes. I think I know how the Sword of the Seconds feels. ’ '

In Van's words, Gintnell puts out his inner tongue. It was the first time he had learned swordsmanship so quickly in his entire life. No matter how basic you are, learning a new sword is never easy.

"But, Mr. Gintnell. I have a question."

"What is it?"

"The power of the Seconds.... Where the hell did it come from? ''

"Blood."

Gintnell replied that there was no doubt. Van looks a little frustrated.

”Does that mean anything to me about training the Sword of the Seconds? If you don't have that power, isn't everything useless?"

"…… yes. You might think so. ''

Gintnell looks around for a moment. Many people were each sweating. He looked back and asked.

”Would you like to take a walk? ''

They climbed on a small mountain behind the Temple of the Early Family. Gintnell quietly walks halfway up the paved road.

"That's what I thought at first. The conditions are different, but I don't know what I did with their swords. ”

".. Is there a way?"

"You may have heard of Kiki. Do you know? ''

"Yes. …… but, I don't know exactly what it is. ”

”I wouldn't do that. The more you tell, the less you know."

Gintnell pulls out the sword. On a well-grinded day, it seemed like a foreboding. With his sword pointed at the sunset, Gintnell looks back at Van.

'Van'. Do you think it is possible to cut the sunset with a single sword? "

"…… I want to think I can ring. ”

”I see it as possible. ”

Gintnell swings his sword. Nice slash. Enough to compare Jenson's slash. He slashed it up, slashed it obliquely and stabbed it. Traces of sweating for a long time are buried on the perfect straight line drawn by the sword.

"I cut through the air for countless hours. As many inspectors do. Sometimes I cut straw, sometimes I cut animals. A lot of times I cut people's throats. If you cut each other like that..... you will see the boundary at some point. What you can ring, what you can't ring. ”

"... is it the power to see the boundaries?"

"It means the power to make the impossible possible."

Gintnell stops the sword. The sunset was still flawless.

"When I was a kid, I decided. I promise I'll cut that sunset someday. But..... it's still far away."

And it was that moment. Gintnell turns around and stretches his sword to the rock beside Van.

I didn't hear a sound. Like a tofu sliced off, Gintnell's black rocks sliced through so gently. Only the blade marks that remained dark were telling me that he cut the rock.

"But the rocks are so close. ”

"This is it, Gigi."

Van swallowed his saliva in full rate. If he had been an ordinary man, he would have been amazed and finished.

But half was different. He knows how neatly Gintnell's sword draws its trajectory. And how slow it is to cut the rock. I looked at all those things with two eyes.

Gintnell said.

”Cut and cut again. Swing and swing again. Then, at some point, you'll know what Kiki is without someone explaining it to you. ”

Only then did Aidan understand. It's not about learning, it's about learning.

That night, Van rarely slept.

When I only had a dream, there was Auburn.

§

'.... This is how it felt. ’

As soon as I woke up, Van grabbed five longswords and stabbed them several times. In my dream, I felt like it was a miracle, but in the end, I didn't really feel it.

"What? I don't think that's a superswordsmanship. ''

".. second-generation swordsmanship?"

'Seconds' Family Sword. That's too long a name. "

"That's right."

Half of Gord's words nodded. Gord looks at Van and Tsk and fills his tongue.

"You're disgusting, too. You're so eager to live with a knife. As much as I can, it's over. ”

"It looks good on the eye. ''

"Why. Do you want to be a kid too? ''

"That's a little..."

God-kill laughed. He smiles, holding Van's shoulders.

"But if you're going to pray, try it. Is it the strongest thing in the world? ”

"... I'm not making fun of you, am I? ''

"Are you going to make fun of the yard until the end? ''

Half of them stretched their swords. Gord shrugs.

'' That's what happened. Everyone's leaving today. ”

".. I see. ”

"We're not seeds that far. Fish have fish happiness, birds have bird happiness. You fly away. To a place we can't see. ”

Van nods and looks back at Dolby and Aidan. Dolby nodded silently, and Aidan said quietly.

"When the time comes, stop by the village. Jenson's gonna want to see you, too. ”

"Do you still intend to be a guard captain in town…?"

"It's a small town. I have to protect you.”

"... What the hell was your wish? ''

Aidan smiled instead of answering. He strokes Van's head, whispering loudly.

"I trust you."

Since then, there have been no other conversations. Farewell is not always grand, but they leave as rustic as their empty wishes.

It was that evening that Wu Ryung came.

'Van'. How are you? ''

"Ah, Woo-Lung."

"Did you know that you are quite famous in the family these days? You said you got rid of all the basic checks in a week? ''

"That's it. ”

"There must be a reason to talk about the best in the world. Hmm.... That's why. I need to talk to you about something. ''

Wu Liung said.

"I leave for the academy after the fortnight. ”

"In a fortnight? ''

"I was going to go to the academy with you..... because you asked for the teachings of the early family, I couldn't leave right away. I was going to ask you how you want to do it. Would you like to come with me? Or..... in a year, would you like to come after me? ”

Van moaned for a moment. If you go with Woo-ring, you will certainly benefit from many benefits right next to him. And I wanted to see what kind of place was that famous academy.

However, I couldn't leave like this.

"I'll stay."

"…… yes. Somehow I thought I would. So you think you can come to be my junior in a year? ''

"I promise. I'll see you at the academy in a year. ”

"That means you can just solve the admissions test, right?"

Van laughed speechlessly. That laugh was enough. Uyung left with satisfaction.

'.... I have another reason to be strong. ’

Since that day, half of the day has only begun to invest in training. He was even part of his training even when he slept. Sometimes I slept with five swords and sometimes with Lucas' sword. And sometimes he grabbed the Sword of the Early Family.

There was no hard day. There was a time when the muscle ache had to go down to the body, and the palm of the hand holding the sword had no place where the flesh had not hardened.

Nevertheless, he did not remove the sword from his body for a single day.

The boy, who dreamed of doing the test, was so close to the test one day. They cut down flying bees and butterflies, they cut down falling leaves,

I cut straw and trees.

And that's how it was a year ago.

"…… cut."

Van steals sweat with a sword in his sword. He became able to roll the rocks.
