Chapter 266 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [37] (1/2)

266. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [37]

A few hours after the training began.

I finally adapted to Bacchus-san’s, mysterious to man, hellishly difficult to understand teaching method.

「Fuu…」

I put my sword in front of my navel and assumed Seigan no Kamae.

Quietly close my eyes, breathe and calm my mind.

And unleash the “diagonal slash” which I just learnt.

「Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style – Evening Sakura」

A sharp slash cut through the darkness of the night and ran across the sky.

(All right, I think that was satisfactory.)

As I looked back at Bacchus-san in a manner of seeking for his evaluation,

「Almost, but not quite. One more step forward. Evening Sakura goes like “Gui” and do it with “Zuba”!」

Bacchus gave me a hint to move “one more step forward.”

「I see. So you do it “Gui” like this… and then “Zuba”!」

I did as told and unleashed Evening Sakura again.

「Oh, that’s it! You can do it if you try!」

He smiled satisfactorily and patted me on the shoulder.

「Thank you very much.」

Bacchus-san’s way of teaching is certainly a little lacking, but…

If you listen carefully, you will be able to understand what he means.

Now I can clearly understand the “Gui” and “Zuba” he says.

(That’s right… I need to do “Gui” then “Zuba” for Evening Sakura.)

It will be quite difficult to find a more accurate expression.

「Hey, Rose. Why is Allen improving from Bacchus-san’s teaching method?」

「Maybe they, fellow inhumans, are communicating with each other in something other than words. We humans can’t possibly understand, and we don’t need to understand them.」

I felt that Ria and Rose were looking at me and talking about something, but it’s probably just my imagination.

Then I kept swinging my sword for another couple of hours.

「Well, it’s about time to take a break!」

Bacchus-san clapped and signaled a short break.

「Fuu, I’ve sweated quite a lot.」

「Grandfather’s training is quite hard after all.」
