7. Fool’s sword.
Although the Demon King gave detailed explanations.
I claim this.
“As I said before, I don’t know much about swords.”
As soon as he heard that, the words he wanted to refute in various ways piled up like a mountain, but it was Kariel who couldn’t bear to argue.
If you don’t know about the sword, are the vast majority of people in the world deaf and blind, all unfit?
It’s not because she’s particularly modest.
It’s just that it doesn’t meet your standards, so you must have come to that conclusion yourself.
“The lucky thing that happened to you was that I memorized the textbook he made.”
“A textbook?”
“In a way, it corresponds to a record, but at that point, it would be enough to call it Zettel.”
Kariel asked in a suspicious tone.
“… Are you going to lead me to master this from the beginning?”
“Nothing. If you choose a sword, in the end your choice will be one of three.”
One is a swordsmanship created by an eccentric dragon.
One is the swordsmanship of the old swordsman.
“Whether the continent perishes or not, that cranky dragon-headed bastard doesn’t care as long as it doesn’t invade his territory, so he didn’t have any contact with me… If it had been resisted, this side would have been a pain in the ass.
And the Sword Master’s sword method… There are successors, but since there is no case of being reborn as an old swordsman level… When I invaded Middle-earth, it was not known.”
“… … .”
“Maybe there was another strong player I didn’t know about, but it doesn’t matter to me anymore.”
And, this is where a problem arises.
“I don’t know anything about the other two sword techniques. I am not interested.”
“… … .”
“What are those cheeky eyes? I only know what I know, I’m not special enough to know what I don’t know. Do you know that this body is so rare that even rules are violated?”
It was as if she thought that she would understand all the principles of all things in the world as if they were natural, but was that even a prejudice?
“With this much rubbish, what were you planning to do?”
“Choices… Isn’t there another one?”
“Then, how about learning the imperial sword again?”
… A story that doesn’t sound like words.
—-
He said there was no particular name for the swordsmanship, but if I had to name it.
“It must be the sword of the wise man.”
“… … ?”
Fool’s sword?
“You will know when you learn.”
Know your mindset before learning your posture.
“Like a rock or a tree when taking a pose. Like water and wind when moving. Dig like fire that devours firewood, and slice like the cold that freezes lakes and rivers.”
“… … .”
“It is something you will have to repeat over and over again, familiarize yourself with, and reflect on, so don’t forget.”
In time, she demonstrated gripping, posture, and movement.
By mobilizing virtual illusions.
Even while embodying the illusion of the form of the knight in black personally demonstrating.
blue.
A figure holding a sword in both hands and raising it in front of the chest.
“It is literally ready.”
grate.
“A posture to greet the enemy.”
As if the sword was slung over the shoulder, or passed over the back.
Portes.
On the contrary, this is a form that seems to stab the sword at any time.
The hand holding the sword was pulled all the way to his side, and it was like a horned monster, and if a fierce bull ran in front, he would immediately slam his head into it.
Betty.
I raised both hands holding the sword, not knowing that they were high in the sky.
However, the sword tilted at an oblique angle, and the tip of the sword pointed towards the ground.
“It’s a posture to receive the enemy’s offensive.”
So far.
“The four things you just saw will be the basis.”
“Isn’t that too little?”
“Too many is not good.”
Even so, this is the only correct answer, so I can’t pinpoint it.
“What are you going to do? The one who learned this came to that conclusion.”
It’s your choice and your discretion.
“If you’re not satisfied, choose something else.”
“Rather than that, isn’t this a bit strange?”
A posture she referred to as ‘Para’.
this is so… .
“Isn’t that the attitude you show off when you show respect or set an example?”
This is to gather the sword straight in front of the chest, in the center… never… how to say
How to greet the enemy in this state, how to counter it, and how to respond.
“Don’t complain to me, do you want to argue with that bastard who is demonstrating?”
Of course, fantasy is silent.
Even so.
“… … .”
When he finally beat up Rueld, he started with that exaggerated and stiff posture, and very naturally connected it to a different posture.
In the end, I threw my father away too easily when I was young.
“Whoa.”
Maybe.
An extremely anxious feeling that the process of learning would not be easy soared.
—-
The demon king added as if subtracting the next progress.
“When it comes to mastering the posture, practice it repeatedly until there is no disturbance in the connection even when you close your eyes, even when your body sinks down from fatigue and your consciousness disappears.”
No matter which one you learn, this course will be no exception.
even if that’s the case.
‘He doesn’t wield it once.’
even stabbing.
Usually, when learning a sword, the most basic thing is swinging, that is, striking.
However, in the textbook memorized by the demon king, it is not necessary to learn to strike down.
What matters is posture and movement.
It just continues its posture, but rather than implementing the sword ceremony… .
‘Even if it’s not dancing, it feels like a stone statue or exhibit.’
“Imitate rocks and trees. Didn’t you forget?”
It was easy to forget, so the demon king suddenly pointed out.
“Even if you say so… .”
“If you don’t know, do it until you know.”
Aren’t you really happy?
“Because at least time is meaningless to you. Even so, it is another matter to adapt to reality even if you have learned a hundred days here. So get your senses here and focus on breaking the logic.”
Time is not infinite.
However, in a way, it was clear that I had an infinite opportunity that was incomparable to others.
“It is said that it applies to plain clothes, armor, and horseback, so keep that in mind.”
“Is that distinction really necessary?”
“why? If you load up on mana, you can cut, stab, and slash them all, whether it’s plain clothes or armor, right? Or are you trying to acquire at least a divine sword that can cut through armor as if it were leather?”
“… … .”
“Aren’t all of these things applicable to you?”
and.
“Such a weapon would be much more powerful if someone else wielded it than if you wielded it. If you can refute it, would you try it?”
Will you believe it at this point?
Or, it is the realm of not believing.
However, even this option was clear.
“Let’s try.”
Because reality doesn’t matter.
The time in the dream passes incoherently.
A day becomes a month
Around the time when a month felt like a year.
“… Can I stay here?”
Even though the time gap between reality and dreams is clear, I wondered if it would make sense to stay here for this long.
I had to ask because I didn’t think this was something I endured and endured.
If it’s boring to practice and train moves, I don’t really care about that.
Since the purpose is clear, what’s the point of being boring and difficult if you can reach it with this?
but.
Now that it comes to this, it’s not the concept that I wield a sword… .
‘It really feels like I’m becoming a rock or a tree myself.’
“But a rock is broken by a hammer, and a tree is knocked down by an axe, cut down, and broken.”
By the time I felt that I had gotten used to the movement to some extent.
she said suddenly.
“If you explain it differently, it should not be broken and broken under any circumstances other than that.”
“Is that also a form of judgment or adjudication?”
“What if we put it together? Advice to help understanding, if you hit it as a book, you can recognize it as a footnote. Depending on the acceptance, this will also become a trial decision.”
How many times did he repeat the process of maintaining and connecting like that?
Is it because there is nothing to fill the stomach and nothing to sleep?
My sense of time has completely blunted.
An empty world without even the sun and moon.
Just me and a sword.
And the demon king watching over himself.
Even he wasn’t always watching.
from any moment.
The time to keep the seat alone has increased.
Sometimes, let’s focus on training while forgetting even the existence of the demon king.
“The foundation is gradually being laid.”
It was often to the point of being startled when he suddenly spoke to me.
“Okay, next.”
Para, Grate, Portes, Betita.
“Rocks and trees do not attack. However, what you need to know from now on is water and wind. Do you remember?”
“When moving, like water and wind… Did you say that?”
“okay.”
Paviam.
“If you hit it on each move, that’s Paviam.”
Nekata.
“It’s a stab.”
and Punita.
“Raise it.”
From now on.
“Based on the four postures, these three should be followed like water flowing and wind blowing.”
“… … .”
“Don’t think, do it with your body. It’s not like swinging a sword by rolling it’s head. Still don’t know that… Tsk tsk!”
Only three things have increased, but the connection between posture and movement has become very diverse.
What do you do with the gripping method there?
Depending on how the height of the posture is applied.
… It’s simple, but for some reason, it feels very changeable.
“I’ll come back when you get used to it.”
end with that.
for a while.
… The Demon King never appeared in front of Kariel.
The only thing left to him is a futile and empty world.
Why?
There were times when I was bored and there were times when I was lonely.
Now, even that feels like entertainment.
Although there were often times when it was hard, painful, and filled with sadness.
‘When thoughts arise, it will be as painful and difficult as they happen, but on the contrary, if you reduce your thoughts, you will be strengthened as much as you reduce them. After all, even thinking about it is hard and laborious. Don’t be distracted by trivial things, just focus on what needs to be done.’
Look around.
While dying endlessly on the battlefield.
‘Did you have time to think of miscellaneous thoughts?’
I remembered what I remembered and focused on correcting my posture.
Even if you don’t wake up.
Because I remembered everything.
by exerting one’s might.
wholeheartedly
… Truly.
With all my heart, I risk my life.
… How to throw myself into everything.
Because I first learned that right after meeting her.
Why did the demon king emphasize that it was the most important thing?
Now I know without having to ask.
‘Living a day means.’
finally.
Because it meant killing me today.
Whether I want it or not.
After all, today I will die.
So the present becomes the past.
All the faults that have been accumulated today will be soon.
Tomorrow’s me will be a stepping stone to step on.
There is nothing difficult.
At least, as long as you know the method, and you know that if you just try, reasonable fruits will follow.
I will never stop
The high point to reach is right in front of you.
Actually, it was really far away.
I knew that I could walk on my own two feet, and that’s what I learned.
i will go
will come
so to the end.
… I will step
That’s what they believed in, breaking the false past.
It will be my own complete rebellion and resistance.
