Chapter 4 (2/2)
“Hundred Slashi+ng Knives” didn’t only focus on technique and science while neglecting the force behind each slash Instead, it combined the best of both worlds!
Getting hts went, I jumped out of bed and picked up the wooden axe next to it Picturing the diagrams in my head, I tried tothe formulas In an instant, the room was filled ind currents!
Ten ly That sort of sword arts wasn’t so that one could execute with a clu out the power of the ‘Hundred Slashi+ng Knives’!
The ‘Hundred Slashi+ng Knives’ pushed the entire being to their lience, reaction tie of the swords, none of thelected
Every section of the sword had its unique function Many of the movements made use of the structure of the sword to execute It wasn’t so that a clumsy little axe could carry out
Lying on the bed disappointingly, I knew that I had to procure a sword somehoever, the dwarven race had an unspoken rule Dwarves will never create equipreatest huet a sword of my own, I only had one choice – to train h!
Gazing at the green ceiling, I realised that I was still just 10 years old To hurown adult
Nonetheless, I wanted to grow up quickly, at least in terth I know that in this world, one can never achieve anything without strength I couldn’t even step out of th eventually became the priority of my life
Thinking back to those days when I attended university, in order to increase the stahted vests, and weights for their ars H a set for myself?
With this idea floating around in radually fell into deep sleep
The next day, I went to look forto her what I needed, she readily agreed to my requests She even toldaround; just right for a set of clothes!
Knowing that the clothes would be done in a day’s ti field with the wooden training axe in my hands
I walked pastthe path, I saw a barrel filled ater at the side of the road An idea suddenly sprang into my head! Since the axe was made of wood… if it were to be soaked ater… wouldn’t it double in weight?
Several ht, the axe had increased in weight by a substantial ah, and it had not absorbed as much water as I wanted it to
While I was frowning, the owner of the forge I was standing in front of, Uncle Rivaldi, strolled out of his house He noticedthat I had dropped it into the barrel accidently, he said heartily, “Co lad, pass me your axe and I will dry it for you!”
Shtly, I raised my head and answered him cal wet! I just wanted it to become heavier”
Hearing this, Uncle Rivaldi was initially stunned, but recovered soon after as he understood , he took my axe fro it fro workshop next door, and threw the axe into a furnace filled with molten iron!
Suddenly, Uncle Rivaldi increased his speed and snatched up the pair of wood pliers lying next to hi onto the axe inside the furnace, he extracted it quickly and inserted it into a barrel filled ater beside hiorously as stealy unafraid of the heat, Uncle Rivaldi reached into the barrel and took the axe out
The axe was no longer solely made of wood Instead, it was now lined with a layer of iron, causing it to triple in weight I found that I had to exertit around a couple of times!
RING… RING… RING…
da I’ that I would be the only one late for the lesson I hurriedly said goodbye to Uncle Rivaldi and rushed towards the practice field at the speed of light! To infinity and beyond! Oops, wrong reference again…
