Chapter 34 (1/2)
I gripped my sword properly with ht held above it, separating the two by the length of a fist I wonder if it's due to the nervousness, but I could feelsensation of heat
My father's sas a saber It was quite dubious whether ainst in ternificent precious sword, but just a regular one The sword doesn't quite go hand in hand with my father's appearance… … I think that reat as mine
My father was a sword length apart fro contrary to my expectations
”Once we start, be prepared to win and knock me down”
You weren't kidding
”To start, I will be thrusting down onto your left shoulder, so let's see how you receive my sword”
Mo for the right shoulder, turningsword to the left…
Sseuk
When ged back razed me
Eh… … I don't think this was the swing that I practiced
Turning, I spun around a quarter of a circle The position of le
”Next!”
In a moment, my father closed the distance quickly as he thrust his saber down onto my left shoulder
Ahhh!
I needed to quickly switch feet and ht I lostsaber narrowly Ah, I'……
”Fabian”
My father, after separating his distance from me, spoke as he aimed his sword at me
”What did I say about what you need to do with your feet?”
”… … to fix round asyour feet on the floor”
”So you haven't forgotten”
Eh, et at the most critical times
Nodding his head, ht
”Now, let's start for real”
Fro his saber towards ht foot, he swiftly arrived in front of me
”Haya-!”
While I was concentrating on his feet, I quickly evaded the sword that was thrusting towards otten the lessons ht me, I was reminded sharply that I had forsakena street braith children… …
”Raise your sword up!”
He quickly rose his sword again and thrust it towardsthis, I realized that when the sword came at me, I need to either evade or raise my sword If not, I will either be injured, or even die… … Ahhh!
I realized I could've been injured or killed while trying to repeat these obvious words Thanking the heavens for helping onally, as soon asoff could be heard My sword scraped through the saber's blade
Gugugugug-
I had recollected myself
Those two hilts of iron chunks were clearly sharply-edged swords And the blade of my sas a monster that couldn't be chipped
My father's?
Although his weapon was a normal saber didn't really match with his splendid plate of arood sword It's my sword that was so absurd
I could get hurt, and killed!
Movingthe weight of my balance in check, I aimed for the moment the collision between my sword and his would be raised up
As I slashed rasp
”Haiya!”
My sword attacked upwards, drawing a large, oblique semicircle
My father's saber was only one-fourth in size compared to mine in terms of the blade's thickness If I attack with ht-ahead, then he'll either be flung backwards or have his saberbroken My ar after all
My father, with a sideways step with his left leg, pivoted towards me He quickly lowered his stance
My sword slash was slow I couldn't react fast enough Since my body wasn't quite accustomed to it yet
My father's sword flew past mine below, as he aimed for my left waist
The serrated blade that was coreatly bent down
”Take my blow!”
Uh, what should I do at this time? At this time
I recklessly grabbedtowards reat shame for my sword to not have a pommel in this moment
Ahhh, I regret not equipping auntlet as well!
Kakwang!
Ugh…Ah…… It was so painful that it forced my mouth open
The handle part, the source of that serrated sword that propelled towards me, I had recklessly pushed my sword in that manner But, due tothe rip to be loosened In this kind of spar, it was definitely necessary to have a gauntlet on Wanting to strengthen my hands as close to my father's hands as possible, I had not equipped it on when practicing despite receiving the gauntlet
Although I barely fended off my father's assault, my waist remained exposed
And ers felt as if they were on fire
