Looks like it's time for my first training session.
--------
I got ready and wore a thin cloth tunic with loose pants for the training. The clothing made it easy to train with as it didn't inhibit my movements.
I rushed out of my chamber and went to the training ground.
As I arrived, I saw a muscular man swinging his sword. The sword technique used looked swift and delicate but the essence of it seemed wild and vicious.
After staring at him for around 2 minutes or so he looked at me and said
" Greetings young master, aren't you going to get out from there? " he asked.
I got surprised he saw me from here, as I snuck behind some trees and grass to watch him.
" Ahem.. hello.. I was just watching you training with your sword. " I said.
" Very well, My name is Leon. Leon Ironheart, I was assigned to be your mentor by your father. Lord Graham Feysworth. " said Leon.
I walked up to him, having to look up to talk to him, and said.
" My name is Adel. A pleasure to meet you mentor Leon. " I said.
" I don't like wasting time, so let's get started. Come at me, I know you haven't done any training with the sword but I want to check your starting point first. Bring out your training sword. " said Leon, staring at my physique.
I brought out my sword and got into a stance.
Nano, I remember you saying you had an option called " Technique duplication " right?
< Yes, host. >
Splendid, activate it. I don't care if it strains my brain or mind. Scan as much as you can.
< Order received. >
< Scanning.. >
I stared at Leon, seemingly in an open stance. I charged towards him with all my leg strength and slashed him from above. Which he countered with an upward slash.
" Hooh.. " said Leon with a surprised look on his face.
I then slashed him with a barrage of swings, each swing is countered perfectly with a slash by Leon. Getting frustrated, I slashed with a left swing that included all of my strength.
" GUAAAAAH! " I screamed out.
THUMP!
" Not bad kid," said Leon.
The next thing I knew, I was on the ground and my sword at the right of me. The sword had a slight crack on the middle of it, although it was a wooden sword, it was still very sturdy.
My hand was numb, shaking from the impact. Although I couldn't see the sword coming, I still felt its force. It was quick, fast, and powerful, I stood no chance of surviving if it was a real sword.
" Get up kid, you have some insane potential. I heard you were born with a weak body and couldn't even train without getting hurt but look at you now! That was impressive for someone who isn't even an apprentice swordsman yet! " laughed Leon looking as if he found treasure and wanted it all for himself.
" Thank you.. " I said, gasping for air.
" It wasn't a long session, but I think this is enough for today. I have to build a training plan for you after observing your starting point, wait for me. I'll send you a letter through a maid when I'm done with the training plan." said Leon with a malicious grin.
Shivers went down my spine as I imagined what kind of training I will be getting myself in.
" I shall take my leave now then, thank you for your time mentor Leon. " I said, staring into his gazing eyes.
As I walked away, sweat dripping running down my neck with a huge headache from scanning Leons swordplay.
< Sword technique -Sword Foundation- has been scanned >
< Technique Transfer. Y / N >
I looked at the panel projected by Nano in my mind with a slight smile. I held off till reached my chamber before proceeding to accept the technique transfer.
< Transfering.. >
< Transfer Complete. >
I felt the basics of swords play flowing into my mind, it was brilliant. Even if it was just at the elementary level the foundation, there was so much more than just swinging your sword around and doing some fancy flashy moves.
The transfer ended and I snapped back into reality.
Ughh.. Nano.. is there any way to stop the strain on my brain from happening?
< The strain will decrease as you continue using the ability. Your brain will become more capable as well, from training it to take on the strain. >
" I see.. " were the last words of mine before I passed out from mental fatigue.
[ Evening time. Sunset. ]
Ughh..
I got up slowly, soaked in sweat.
Ew.. Did I pass out like this? damn.
I went out and called a maid I was familiar with, her name is Selena, to prepare me a bath.
" Selena, prepare me a bath. " I said.
" Yes, young master," said Selena, eyeing my sweaty clothes and hair.
[ 10 minutes later.. ]
I got in the tub, full of warm water. Feeling as if I was on cloud nine as I was washing away the sweat and dirt on me.
As I lay in the tub, I remembered that Nano had the ability to project a shadow clone in my mind that I can spar and train with.
Nano, activate shadow clone projector.
< Affirmative. >
