326 Sword Art Not Found (1/2)

When will he teach me other moves?

We just practiced swinging the whole day!

Adrian changed into a new set of clothes before going out of the shower. Although the internet has come back in the time being, the electrical power to run essential things in town didn't.

The makeshift shower rooms were constructed for reserved trainees after a hard day's work. It only offers basic hygiene as soap and shampoo are hard to come by. The water system was also equipped with a filtering system to make sure that the trainees don't get contaminated with unknown diseases.

Right after arriving at the courtyard, Adrian immediately noticed someone waiting for him, chatting with reserved trainees.

Upon seeing Adrian come out of the area where the showers were built, Sheila bade farewell with the trainees and waved her hand excitedly at him.

With a bright smile on her face, she asked, ”How's your training? I heard this is your last day. Did you learn anything useful?”

Adrian frowned after hearing that this was his last day of training. ”What do you mean?”

”I mean did you learn any fancy swish, swoosh things. You know, sword strikes or something.”

”That's not what I meant... And I didn't learn anything like that. I'm still practicing basic swings and the master never taught me anything else. By the way, why did you think that this is the last day of my training?”

At first, Sheila thought Adrian was joking, but upon noticing his serious expression, she finally answered. ”I met your teacher on the way here. He was leaving with his younger brother. Did he not say farewell to you?”

”No... I didn't even know they were leaving today.” Adrian's brows furrowed. ”Let's go. If we can hurry, we might able to say our farewells with them.”

Adrian felt disappointed. Though no promises were made, he was expecting to learn at least a move or two, so he could feel proud of himself, and yet the reality was not that good.

Most of the things he learned from his teacher were the proper form when swinging, and additional advice and techniques on how and when to attack and to defend. As for any fancy techniques or footsteps, there was nothing.

It didn't take much time for the two to catch up since they were running instead of walking. Adrian saw his teacher explaining something in a foreign language to the reserve trainees guarding the Red Portal.

His teacher was getting anxious as the communication barrier worsened. Despite that, the man continuously tried to explain that he and his younger brother were leaving through the Red Portal.

The trainees didn't know what to do since they can't understand each other. Thankfully, one of them saw Adrian and called out to him.

”Sir Adrian!”

Adrian saw the helpless look of the trainees and smiled at them.

Unexpectedly, he didn't need to speak at all since Adrian already opened his heart out. ”Thank you so much for teaching me for the past few days. I know I might not be a good student, but I'll further hone my skills, so when the day comes that we meet again, you can be proud of me.”
