3 Cultivating a Knight Breathing Technique (2/2)

”In the end, no matter what Young Master's decision, I will still be loyal to him as I was ever to the 2 generations of the Xendra's Family before,” said the butler firmly.

”You sure are, so do I!” the woman agreed on the statement with a nod.

Then they leave the corridor to their respective rooms without minding anything else.

Morning came as the sun started to rise and people start working to fulfill their daily needs.

I was practicing my knight breathing technique before calling the guard outside to call Sebastian.

”You called, Young Master?” asked Sebastian curiously.

”Sebas, could you find me an instructor? I want to learn swordsmanship and manipulation of qi.” I asked while using my right forefinger to lightly scratch my right cheek.

”To answer Young Master question, I think Sir Gareth is the best choice, he is the head army of the Xendra Viscounty's private troop and a 3rd Rank Knight Apprentice at that, no one else is better to teach Young Master from inside the territory!” replied Sebastian with confident.

”Then prepare the field and called him after breakfast.” I give my confirmation with a satisfied smile.

”Yes, as you commanded!” bowed Sebastian before leaving from the door.

After that was taken care of, Wyne continued his breathing technique before going out to have breakfast in the dining hall.

***

Not far away from the mansion, there is a field with a size of around a basketball field with one big muscled man and a boy of around 11 years of age standing in the middle.

”So, you were Sir Gareth? As expected of the head army, you certainly don't disappoint me.” Wyne praises the muscle man in front of him.

”Of course!!…. Ehemm.. please excuse my rudeness.” Gareth smiled pridefully then reminded that he was talking with the Viscount.

Gareth was a gray-haired middle-aged man around 40 years of age and was still in his prime. He was also a prideful man that likes to boast and certainly behave like a muscle headed man, although his commanding ability certainly not lacking.

”I heard that Young Master wants to learn swordsmanship and qi manipulation?” Gareth straightforwardly said.

”Indeed, and Sebastian said that you were proficient in using a sword and the highest cultivated person in the territory.” I gaze at him with a hidden inspection.

”Just as he said, he was correct, then let's start with swordsmanship!” Then Gareth takes out his wooden sword and told me to prepare mine.

Then I take a wooden sword that has been prepared at the side of the field and start practicing swordsmanship for the first time in my life. What I was surprised about is that, Gareth was so proficient in teaching, even more so is that Vonix is helping me to use the sword and move my body effectively.

”Wow… Young Master, is it really your first time using a sword?” asked Gareth surprised that I was improving very fast.

”Certainly so, this is indeed my first time, what's wrong?” I asked confused.

”Then Young Master is a genius, with this potential, Young Master will certainly be a fine swordsman in just two-week no… a week!” Gareth might be prideful, but he was honest with how he evaluates.

Then we practice until midday and we have a lunch break after that before continuing our training after.

”I think it's the right time for me to teach Young Master on how to manipulating qi,” said Gareth full of certainty.

”Then please do so!” I nod my head and my eyes sparkle full of expectation.

After saying that, Gareth teach me how to manipulate my growing qi in my body. First, he told me how to sense qi in my body. I started to sit and got to a meditation position while closing my eyes. He told me that a normal person needed around a week to sense qi. With the help of a nanobot (Vonix) and a guide from Gareth, I manage to sense a strange yellow-white string around my body just before night.

”Is the string-like thingy is a qi? If so then I manage to comprehend it!” I asked, not too sure whether it was the case or not.

”Wow… Young Master is indeed a genius, the string thing around the body is indeed qi and Young Master only needed a few hours to sense qi, even I needed three days to do the same.” Gareth was surprised while then praising me with a trace of pain look in his face.

'Seeing that, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.' The real reason I manage to sense qi so fast is because of a good instructor and a nanobot in my body but a healthy body does indeed have a difference in speed when practicing qi.

'It's a good thing that Wyne's body is healthy and better than average people in this world.' I relieved for the body that Vonix choose.

One of the reasons aristocrats manage to hold their position and oppress people in this world is because of the better condition of their body, with nutritious food they eat every day, how could they not have a good body?

”Now that the sun already down, I think it's better to continue training tomorrow,” said Gareth, breaking my contemplate.

”Then Sir Gareth, see you again tomorrow.” I nod in agreement and then left the field.

”Teaching a rough diamond like you, how can I not be here again tomorrow? hahaha…. Teaching a genius sure is fun!” Then Gareth leaves the field too.
