' Come on ... Connect '
Hiro leaped forward after a side step and clashed swords with Robert before being repelled back
" Come on Hiro, don't depend on power, use what I taught you "
" That's what I'm doing dad ! "
Assuming a battle stance, Hiro grunted as he examined a weak spot on Robert
' I haven't been able to hit him for the past week late alone move him! What should I do... '
" Come on Hiro ! "
Robert shouted out as he raised his sword toward Hiro
' Oh that's it ! '
As hiro smirked, he then let out a sigh before gripping his wooden oak sword tightly as he slid his right foot back to lower his height and maintain a center of gravity
" Prepare to taste defeat Father! "
Robert suddenly burst out in to laugher as his blade lowered
" That's what you said a week ago Hiro "
" I'm serious this time. Just wait and watch "
' Behold '
" Alright let's see what you got "
Raising his blade once again, Hiro quickly closed the distance between them as he utilized the mana flowing through his body
' What's this his going for a direct attack lol did I teach him nothing '
Robert thought as he tightly held his sword before turning it toward the side in order to block Hiro's forward thrust which was quickly approaching
" Ha try again !!"
His thrust was suddenly interrupted by a leap to the side leaving an afterimage.
' Bakana '
Robert through as his eyes widened in awe, taking advantage of this moment Hiro made his behind Robert with the use of another leap leaving them back to back. Quickly infusing energy within his arms and blade, Hiro slid his right leg back before turning his body in a semicircular motion increasing the speed of his movement. As Robert quickly attempted to turn around he was suddenly struck in his mid section
" Gah "
' I- I got hit !!!? '
Robert let out a grunt as pain coursed to the assaulted spot
" Gotcha ! "
' imagine falling for a feint couldn't be me lol '
Hiro smirked before pulling his blade away. Robert unshaken by the assault he turned to face Hiro
" When did you learn faint ? "
" I learnt it from this other movi- Wait No!! , Anim- No!! Instinct!? "
Narrowing his eyes he remembered a martial arts movie he had watched in his previous life
" I mean it was instinct "
" Oh so my son has the potential of becoming a swords man "
' what is a movi ? '
Baring a poker facial expression, he dropped his sword on to the ground before turning away
" Heyy Wait !! "
Robert reached out as his eyes watered up from the cold rejection
" I thought you wanted to become a swordsman "
" No father "
' Ngl but who only wants to be a swordsman in a world with magic? '
[NB: Ngl = Not gonna like]
" Then what about the time we spent together, the sweat we shed, the pain we felt. Was that all just a lie ?"
Robert cried out as his held his chest tightly whilst looking down. Hiro looked back at him as he wondered what was going on
" No father it's just that I am more interested in magic "
Hiro turned his head back before smirking with his thumb held up
" But being a magician is borrring "
Robert said as he turned away whilst moaning in annoyance
" That's why I'm going to be a Magic Swordsman "
' In all the games I played and made being a magic swordsman is the real money maker '
Robert's physical expressions changed suddenly as he held his chin and thought
" That could work since you inherited your mother's mana core "
Hiro instantly became more interested in what his farther had to say
" Mana? "
" Oh right we haven't taught you what mana is. It is the energy you were using in your attacks against me "
" Eh? You knew I was using... mana? "
Robert lightly chuckled before continuing
" Do you really think a 5 year old would be that strong and fast late along understand complex sentences? "
Hiro immediately turned around and began walking away
" Wait! "
Robert reached out before Hiro stopped and turned back
" Anyways the problem with being a magic swords man is that magicians can not focus on spells and movement at once but I will support you til the ends of the Earth "
" Thank you Father "
' Huh they can't focus on spells ...'
Hiro smiled before walking away
" It's time to learn magic "
Robert shook his head as he watched Hiro walk away
" My son is a prodigy "
