***************
At a third of the night
'Urgh..
Akira was seen waking up at that time holding his head because he felt dizzy
he adjusted his sitting position by leaning against a tree while observing the situation in front of him
crackle..
'you awake?
Kiara was seen putting wood into the burning bonfire while saying that to Akira who had just regained consciousness
'...'
'...'
the two of them just sat silently without saying a word and it was seen that Kiara did not return Akira's gaze
'how is your body?
Kiara asked that as she started putting some fish into the burning bonfire without looking at Akira
'for now, I think I can move a little even though my body feels weak and sore
Akira looked at Kiara and he noticed that Kiara's skin color was very pale like a corpse
Akira once thought that Kiara was a vampire race in a fantasy story because the vampire race has pale skin, but it turns out that Kiara is just an ordinary human
Akira actually always wanted to ask why Kiara's skin color was so pale, was it because she was sealed? then how long was she sealed there?
that question will only be answered when he wins the game that Kiara asked him
crackle..
'this is yours..
Kiara handed the grilled fish to Akira without looking at him
'Thank you sensei..
Akira reached for the grilled fish that Kiara handed him while expressing his gratitude
Akira started to taste the grilled fish but
'A-ah! hot!
Akira who was still trance in his mind started to wake up when his lips burned from tasting the grilled fish without being careful
'don't be fussy when eating
'okay...
they eat with short talk
'grilled fish huh..
Akira stared at the grilled fish in his hand while reminiscing about his past with Zuri
Akira had remembered the incident where Zuri had eaten grilled fish carelessly which caused her lips to burn and it was Akira who kissed her lips at night to relieve the pain in her lips.
'pft...
'what the heck....
Akira remembers those sweet memories while grinning alone while Kiara feels that Akira has gone crazy for grinning for no reason..
'huh?
'....'
Akira started to taste the grilled fish and looked ahead and he saw Kiara looking at him worriedly
'are you okay right now my disciple?
'im okay it's just I remember something very funny..
'huh?
'nevermind..
they enjoyed their free time at that time until dawn approached
************
splash!
Akira washed his face in a nearby river at that time
'I promise zuri..one day..one day..I will end it all
rustle..rustle
'hmm?
Akira who finished washing his face walked through the bushes and saw Kiara who was holding a branch in her hand
'are you done? it's time to train your sword technique as much as possible
'uh..why is sensei holding a tree branch? why not just use a sword?
'sigh
Akira asked that with a confused expression while Kiara just took a deep breath
'your body will be erased from the world when I use my sword while training you..that's why it's very dangerous for you right now
'right..
Akira remembers a moment where a swarm of orcs disappeared due to Kiara's still not serious sword swing and that made Akira think twice about it
'so..shall we start the lesson?
'gulp..
Kiara said that confidently while pointing the tree branch towards Akira while Akira just broke into a cold sweat when facing Kiara
'uwoah!
tap! tap!
Akira ran towards Kiara and swung the sword to cut Kiara's body but unfortunately
swoosh!
creak!
'huh?
'heh...
Akira swung his sword at Kiara's head but Kiara only held Akira's sword with two fingers and that surprised Akira
'to slow!
'shit!
Bam!
'A-ah!
Thud!
'urgh..how is that possible? what's up with that kind of speed?
'that's why you have to train your stamina to go faster!
Akira couldn't see Kiara's movement which was too fast for his eyes so Kiara who was still standing casually started hitting the back of Akira's neck with a hard slap from her hand and that made Akira fall
'hmmm...
'urgh
Kiara was holding her chin while thinking about something while Akira just fell to his knees due to the impact of Kiara's very hard slap
'your hand muscles are too weak right now and I suggest that you practice by swinging your sword at least a thousand times a day
'what? thousand?
'at least like that if you want to speed up your development
'for real?
'It's free to have a unique swordsmanship technique if you don't have great strength, chances are you'll lose in terms of strength and strength is the most important thing for a swordsman
'.....'
'for now training your body is the main thing that needs to be prioritized..
Kiara advises Akira while Akira just agrees with the statement
'so.. let's go to the nearby river..
'What are we going to do in the river?
'just follow me..
'hey!
Akira was confused while Kiara started to grab Akira's hand to pull him to the nearby river
*************
rustle...rustle
some time later they both reached the river
'here it is sensei..
'whoah..this is the perfect place for you to practice swinging your sword!
'huh?
'take off your shirt and go into the river with your sword once
'Alright...
**************
splash!
Akira who had taken off his shirt started entering the river with his sword
the river was a little fast and that made Akira's movement a little slow
'Sensei! what else should i do now?
'make a truss and swing your sword in and out of the water as hard as you can!
'what kind of crazy exercise is this?
'don't just whine..do what you are told if you want to be a strong person!
'later my sword will rust due to contact with water!
'pft..just bought a new one later!
Kiara laughed at Akira while Akira just resigned to the situation
'alright..haaaa!
splash! splash!
swoosh!
Akira swung his sword in and out of the river water several times and suddenly
splash! whossh!
'A-ah! help!
splash! splash!
'pft!..
zap!
Akira was reluctant because the water was the limiter of his strength and he had to swing his sword in and out of the river water..as a result at one time Akira's body was carried away by the river current because he was reluctant while Kiara just laughed at him
