Chapter 6.
Sera Managed To Get Out Again?
...
After the male adults arrive, they quickly placed the dead bunnies in a large vase, as Layla, Lilith's mother bought the food for us to eat.
The food is a rabbit stew, and for Sera, it taste bland.
It didn't even have a taste, yet the others are happily devouring it like it was delicious.
So Sera abandoned the thought of eating it and he surprisingly managed to store the soup only on his inventory.
He didn't need to eat anyway.
He had a body with infinite stamina, with regeneration and it also didn't need to eat.
But he still prefer to eat if it was something delicious.
As they started chatting with each other, the whole point of the story took a 180° when Elijah suddenly said something.
"Hey did you know that my son will teach the kids how to wield a sword?" She said enthusiastically while looking at all the male adults.
Marcus felt conflicted as he glanced at Sera then at Elijah repeatedly.
Then he finally said what was on his mind "I didn't even know how to properly swing a sword and you are telling us that your son knows it?"
"I mean he's a kid you know" He said puzzled while trying to be not rude, after all, they are a family.
Sera hearing this had a cold sweat on his back.
'My damn hormone is killing me, you are killing yourself damn hormone!'
Kaiser also felt it was ridiculous as he glanced at the kids then to Sera and he lastly look at the sword on his scabbard.
Although it was maintained daily, his sword is already dull.
This sword is handed down by his father as their supply of weapons is small, furthermore besides them being dull, some already had rust on them.
Kaiser can feel that something is going on here as the kids face show how excited they are.
If this is a joke then the children will think that being taught by Sera is ridiculous and their faces won't be like that but their faces right now are the opposite so he stayed silent and watched from the sidelines.
The other males also thought the same.
But Emeron, father of Emerson, the brown-haired boy, still ask Sera about it.
Being asked suddenly, Sera didn't stutter on his words.
"I will really teach them swordsmanship" He said resolutely.
He know that he need to exhaust his brain thinking after this.
That's because he only know Japanese samurai stance as the isekai mangas he always read mostly have them.
And besides, he already try the Japanese stances he saw in mangas.
What can he say?
He also suffered an 8th-grade syndrome or chunibyo to be more precise.
Holding a stick in his hand, he will fight his weeb friends as they show their own stances.
Luckily he still remember that wonderful memory.
The reason they did that is because they watched the anime named as Samurai X.
Yeah, that anime show techniques and samurais.
They then will copy it and hurt each other, though they will put a scrap of wood in their body first as armors.
After all they don't want to experience how to be hit with a solid stick.
So Sera right now can still do those stances and he will teach them that, though it might not be perfect as he only saw it in anime...
Aside from that, he will also teach them 'parry'.
Parry.
That's what Sera emphasized the most when they are battling because of being influenced by the game 'Dark Souls' and the battle style of Spartans which is good at parrying.
Beside from that, he always bully his friend who always use random piercing styles.
At first, it was hard to parry since it was too fast but then it became easy to do as you are already used to it.
With that in mind, Sera knows how to parry but didn't know swordsmanship.
So he will let them swing their swords repeatedly tomorrow and won't teach anything to them.
What can he even teach besides from parrying?
Besides, he also need to craft wooden swords for them.
Although you might think that it was a waste of resources, he didn't care about that.
At least they have something to protect them.
Those wooden swords are indestructible after all.
...
After Sera is done eating, he went to the wall as an idea hit him.
'Wait I can just create a hidden path from here to outside right?'
Grinning at the prospect of getting out from his jail, Sera glanced around, after making sure no one is looking, a pickaxe appeared in his hand.
He then swung it towards the wall.
Pak!
Pak!
...
The male adults are talking with each other while from time to time glancing at the digging Sera.
"Where did he get that pickaxe?" Emerson asked baffled.
"Elijah said the kid had a power.... maybe he got it from that?" Kaiser said while staring at Sera, although he was surprised that the kid is fast in digging, he just sigh helplessly think that it might be Sera's power and the kid is trying to show off.
After all he wasn't an exemption with that kind of emotion as sometimes he will boast his glorious lies.
Kovid, Liliana's father, also felt it was ridiculous seeing a 10yr-old swinging a pickaxe and destroying the wall in just 3 swings.
Lucas, Aldous and Amelia's father, just stared at the kid when an idea hit him.
"Wait, if the kid really knows swordsmanship just like what he said then we can also learn right?!" He asked excitedly.
He didn't care if a child is teaching them as the people here at the cave know that they don't know how to properly wield a sword.
Although they can swing it, doesn't mean that they know how to properly swing it.
They are more like berserkers in fighting, swinging it randomly.
Besides, the sword is heavy, swinging it three times will exhaust you.
Emerson nod, he also didn't care about the kid teaching them as the kid is one of them and the kid surely knows that they don't know anything about swordsmanship.
Then others look at each other then they smiled.
"If there's at least a little bit of hope that will make us leave this prison and not be afraid of the abominations outside.... then I will do it" Marcus suddenly said that make all the male adults smile in melancholy.
After all, Marcus always said that ever since a child and when the others are still alive.
They remembered their promise to exterminate the abomination outside but now there are only 5 of them.
Kaiser, Kovid, Lucas, Marcus, and Emerson.
The others feel like they wanted to cry but hold it in.
"If there really is a chance for our promise, let's do whatever it takes to accomplish it" Marcus muttered as he went to the wall and sat there sleeping.
The others nodded and everyone also went to sleep, catching bunnies is not an easy thing to do.
...
Meanwhile on Sera.
He managed to dig 6 dirt blocks when suddenly his mother called out to him.
"Sera?"
Curious, Sera came out from the 1.4-meter hole that he made and look at his mom.
"Come let's sleep" Elijah said smiling happily.
Dumbfounded, Sera glance at the others only to see them being forced to sleep by their mothers.
Searching his memories, Sera found out that this was a daily occurrence as the women believe that kids should sleep to become healthy.
Although he agreed with it, he also on another hand strongly refuse it.
The mothers in truth don't know it but they are reducing the childhood days of the kids by letting them sleep!
Sera want to retort when his mother frown, so he had no way but to comply.
But of course, he will only fake his sleep then after his mother is already sleeping he will crawl towards the hole to continue digging.
Sera grin as he found this event as an opportunity.
Besides, his mother always sees him sleeping when she ordered, so being suspicious of Sera will never happen.
...
After all the people in the cave are already sleeping, Sera tried his best to silently crawl towards the hole.
Like a spider, his movements only had small sounds, as he is barefoot.
Oh if you are wondering if he had some clothes...
Yes, he do have, although it was made from a hide of a bunny.
After all, the bunny skin will be a waste to throw and aside from that they also don't have anything to wear.
If you are wondering how they stitched it, apparently they use some kind of grass and dried it along with using needles.
Apparently, their ancestors didn't forgot to bring a box of needles before coming here.
It may sound weird as it was a hide of bunny but it was actually quite normal if you see it.
...
Arriving at the hole, Sera quickly grabbed the pickaxe in his inventory and also let the system interface light up the surrounding.
Now he only need to dig and he can finally get out of this cave again.
...
Pak!
Pak!
The sound of something smashing the wall from inside of it resounded as the wall had cracks on them.
Pak!
"Hu..... finally"
Sera finally had managed to create a path outside as he started at the glistening nature outside.
"Now I only need to destroy this and I can finally get out" He muttered as he swing his pickaxe to the last block where it was blocking his lower body.
Pak!
Pak!
Pak!!
As the stone block flew to him, Sera didn't waste time as he look around and immediately stored the pickaxe as an axe appeared on his right hand.
After finding no one, Sera run toward the nearby tree and started to hit it.
"Hahaha I can finally become stronger" He laughed loudly, not afraid of the other creatures attacking him, after all the time is still afternoon.
Sera continue cutting down trees after trees not afraid that the male adults will notice it even though he know that they will surely notice it.
