No e the noises I heard were, it’s still my backyard after all

What’s there for me to fear?

Besides that, th

My outer strength—that is, , but it’s not to the point that I’d be frightened of soe noises

With a chuckle, I picked up the wooden sword that was lying on the ground nearby

“Is this a spare?”

“Ah, yeah”

“May I use it?”

“What will you do with it?”

Instead of answering hiround and picked up the sword

As I grasped the light sword, I realized how long it’s been since I held one in my hands, so I felt a little sentimental

No, co

I held one the other day to demonstrate the basics of swordsmanshi+p to him

However, that was just to show him the proper for, the wooden sword in h the air

Shhhk

A shrill sound followed closely behind the sword’s e

Then, I slowly turned ht sword twirl in my hand

As I turned the sword and warrew sharper

This was the reason why it’s easier to interact with people ere quick-witted Even if I didn’t say anything, he understood and got ready

I tapped the sharp side of the sword on the heel of one shoe, then I spoke

“Do you really have to ask? I’ it on”

Screeech

The sharp edges of the wooden swords clashed and brought out a loud noise

Even though they were shed up their wooden grains

The swords that clashed forcefully separated Cassion’s feet on the ground were pushed back a couple steps

His thick footprints were engraved on the wet, dewy ground

In contrast, Rosetta stood poised in the same place

Her slender wrist see, and he couldn’t help but wonder just where her strength was co from

“Your wrist is weak When our swords clashed earlier, your wrist kept bending back Your elbow, too”

Even though they had matched blows several times already, her voice as she explained remained steady

Without any shortness of breath

She pointed towards Cassion’s elboith the tip of her sword and swung in that direction

Although he could clearly see the trajectory of the tip of her sword, it was difficult for him to avoid it

His stiff elbow creaked away from the attack, but her sword instead thrusted towards the area near his shoulder

Right next to his shoulder, to be exact And, as it was, right next to his face

Cassion let out a gasp as he looked back at the polished wooden sword

‘If these swords were real, you’d be dead already’

Rosetta had said these wordssession already, and it seemed to echo in his ears

“…I yield”

It’s already his tenth loss Thick beads of sweat trickled down and soaked the ground as though they were drops of rain

Rosetta pulled back her sith an unimpressed expression

“There’s no flow to the movements of your wrists, elbows and shoulders, that’s why you’re all stiff instead of flexible Swords should not be wielded with force alone”

At Rosetta’s words, Cassion immediately tried to turn the sword in his hand

Indeed Just as she said, the way he moved with the sword felt aard

Actually, he’s notsessions

He was known to be a knight with a coround, and he suddenly appeared out of nowhere No, truthfully, it was laughable to even call hiht

Others would no doubt ht’ just because of his connections with the ducal princess

Cassion knew this

If he was in the other knights’ shoes, he also wouldn’t like to see someone like hiue with anyone regarding fairness, equality or anything like it

All he had to do was to protect soazes just to do what he needed to do

Even still, it was detriress that no one wanted to spar with him

Someone who’s like a scarecroho could only stand still was someone ouldn’t be able to train properly

There was also a limit to any moves he could come up on his own

No ine, he wouldn’t be able to knohat it felt like to trade blohen one force met another

However, as he clashed swords with Rosetta today, he realized his shortcos one after another

And, he was excited

It was the first time he experienced such fulfillh this experience, if he could find his weaknesses, if he could shake off the things that could one day kill him…

It was so fun how he could now pinpoint his shortcoradually train to overcome them

On the other hand, he also felt that it was a sha this sword alone once again
