Chapter 35 (2/2)

S, so…

Although I had to think quickly, I couldn't coh with a decision on how to block this time

For now, I brought ainst the attack with all ht, and even if it did have so it down

This ti towards me

”Ahyaaaaaah!”

This time I didn't decide to withdraw, but instead ai forcefully onto the head The moment the teapons collided, I had pushed onwards to the body One step, two steps…

”Hayaaah!”

My father's strength was quite strong He bent and pushed down the round Both weapons tried to endure as they exchanged blows against each other as hard as they could That screeching, appalling sounds of the two

Guguguguguk…

Ah, it's as ifto fall off It's no

Unable to withstand the pushi+ng force, I looked around s in hope for a different solution as I quickly searched through my mind Compared to earlier, it see

To deflect this to the side with strength alone……

I turned the blade slightly sideways as it made the two blades slide down Cheuuuk- it nearly reached his hand

But my weapon was a sharp blade, and el attached at the end And the only person who could touch this sas me

Right before my hands met my father's, I quickly pushed the hand that he held the rod with upwards That power to flip it up

”Mmm……”

My father stopped his attack and was checking my stance

”Just now, that was a good stance Excellent However”

”……My, my arm hurts too much…”

”It's because you forgot one thing that I had taught”

What was it? Aigoo, can't I put down my sword for a moment?

But, I was holding the sword up, barely holding on Although I strengthenedWhy? It was because I was extremely out of breath!

”Yes, it's the exact reason why your sword is shaking”

I tried to control ely, it wasn't settling down as fast as I thought

”It's because you forgot the method of how to breathe”

I regathered a bit of strength and pulled away fro star

”What did I say on how to breathe when you receive a blow?”

Ah, that's right

When I exchange blows against inally thought It was because I had breathed in tooanxious

”I need to exhale”

”Yes When you swing down your sword, and when you receive a swing, you need to exhale When you're ai the sword at me, that's when you breathe in When you shout, there's a relationshi+p between that and breathing in That's hen sword meets sword, the impact is less”

My father briefly stared at me and added another sentence

”And if you carelessly move like that, you'll breathe as if you're a bull If possible, use minimal movement Do you understand?”

”… Yes”

Seeing how often I forget, to spendthose monsters would really not be appropriate at all I suppose

But, I still won't give up on myself

My father resumed his lecture

”Fabian You can't say that sword is yours yet”

TL Afterword

da experience All these details on how to fight were quite enlightening (I could iine him in each step of the way)
