195 Training (1/2)

”Blackwade Clan isn't a clan from this continent. My clan comes from the Northern Continent. At first, I thought since you are from here. You won't have a chance to cross the continent and will remain here for the rest of your life. That's why I showed you the Blackwade Sword Dance.

But, now it comes to this point. I take back my decision. You can't learn Blackwade Sword Dance. I'm not telling you for your own safety. Although, it is fine for me. But, if other Blackwade's clan members know about it, then your life would be in danger. So, please don't learn about this Sword Dance. I'm asking you” Song Yu said solemnly.

Alex nodded. ”You have my word. I feel the sword dance is more compatible with females too.”

”With this Blackwade VIP card as a proof which your master gave you. I'm sure that you will cross this continent and arrive at Willow Continent since your master even gave the card to you. It might be his proof of your talent, he believed you would be able to cross the continent. Never show anyone you have this Blackwade VIP card until you have the power to protect yourself. But if you need to buy something from Blackwade clan, you only need to say these words to the receptionist. 'Blackwade V'. This is the secret code to show you have a Blackwade VIP card.

We made this secret code, so if the cardholder didn't want his identity to be exposed, they could secretly say it, and the receptionist will lead you to the manager of our store. Usually, the manager will tell you about it after you used the VIP card. But since you are in front of me now, I told you this.”

”I see. Is there anything I need to know other than this?”

Song Yu thought for a while. ”I think...no. That should be it. I don't know what is this VIP card with two golden 'V' but I can assure you it is real. The white card is the exclusive card for Blackwade clan members, which can be used to identify the VIP card as well as our identity as Blackwade Clan member. Maybe I will try to find out after I go back to my family three years later.”

”You will go back?” Alex was surprised. To think his Senior Sister did not come from this continent .instead, she came from the next continent, which he needs to go before he arrived at the Heavenly Continent.

”Yeah, I'm planning to go back after the continent Grand Tournament...family circumstances. That's why if you reached Northern Continent, I would welcome you in Blackwade Clan.” Song Yu said.

”Well, I'm planning to go to win Grand Tournament for various reasons...” Alex said, embarrassedly. When others heard it, it would not be a resolution but instead a brag without any proof to back it up.

Song Yu's eyes widened. She wanted to brush it off, but coming from him, she somehow can't brush it off. She just had a feeling that Alex was dead serious, and he might pull out a miracle. ”Well...Good luck”

Alex was taken aback. He thought she would retort him, saying it would not be possible.

”Alright. We will go back to practice. Have you decided which Sword Arts you want to learn first as my gift?”

Alex nodded, ”Then, I choose Four Directions Slash.”

”Sure. I will do some demonstration for you. If you have any questions just ask it. But haiz, this method is really black. I mean, the rule said we couldn't give our books of Martial Arts to other people, including our protege. But, it was broken by you who can learn it from looking.”

”Rule?” Alex tilted his head. He didn't know there was a rule for Martial Arts.

”Eh? You don't know about it? Don't tell me you haven't read the rule on a board beside the entrance?” Song Yu asked with a shocked face.

Alex innocently shook his head. ”Now that I remembered it, there was indeed a board near the entrance.”

Facepalmed, Song Yu was surprised to see Alex's lack of common sense. ”Well, there are only three rules. First, you can't let outsiders learn the Sect's Martial Arts, including your family members. Second, you can't lend the books to your protege or other sect members. Third, the time limit is two months. After that, you need to bring back the book. If it was stolen or damaged, you need to accept punishment from the sect.”

Alex nodded.

”Alright. Since you broke the system, Let's start with some demonstrations” Song Yu said.

She demonstrated the 'Four Directions Slash' to Alex ten times. Then she asked Alex what he understood from it. And Alex gave her a shock, Alex had understood part of her Sword Art just from a few glances. Alex convinced her even more that he was a monster.

Song Yu continued teaching him the Four Direction Slash. After two hours, Alex's understanding was at the same level as her. Of course, even though his understanding was on the same level. It didn't mean he can use it yet. He needs to train sword art. After all, theory and practical was different.

Alex can use the 'Four Directions Slash' perfectly after a day of training. Song Yu can't be more surprised later after the shock she got today. Although Alex can use the 'Four Directions Slash' perfectly, he still needs to practice it so his body can get used to it and will be more practical in a battle.

But the next day shocked her again. She almost fainted by having her pride crushed down by Alex. Because, in the second day. Alex suddenly used the 'Four Direction Slash' but not exactly the 'Four Direction Slash'. After all, he produced five streams of light, making a pentagram movement. Alex called it Pentagram Slash since it was easy to understand the name. Song Yu had the worst but also the best time in her life. She can see what was called a genius among genius. It was like he was born just to wield a sword.

If she knew about Alex's spear, she might jump down to the bottom of the mountain just to hide her pride there. Alex shared his experience with her. And Song Yu was grateful to him and absorbed the knowledge like a sponge. And She learned it the next day and somehow able to use it once by a fluke.

Alex stayed the night in Song Yu's place...in her guest room, of course. On the fourth day, before Alex went back to his place. He told her about the talk with Evelyn back in the Battle Tower.

”Senior Sister. Are you not curious about the Seven Stars Cut? Especially back in the Battle Tower, you seemed a bit frustrated about it. Do you want to know it?”

”I surely want to know it. But, I won't force you to tell me. After all, you are not obligated to do so. But others might force you to it. Of course, I will try my best to protect you.” Said Song yu while smiling.
