'Why did this happen to me' Kuta thought
There were no answers and she was not allowed to leave her room for the time being. The reasoning was that they did not want news of what had happened to her to spread before they had all the details they could beforehand. Kuta just accepted this as she did not want weird stories about her getting out either given her current standing along with the family name. Many did not like Kuta because of various reasons regarding the age she became a swordmaster at and other things. Then there was the fact that the Sabre family was not liked by everyone as they might be respected and even admired as well. However, it is possible to have both for anyone that does not mean you have to like them at all.
It had been around a week since Kuta woke up to find that her arms and swords had become the same. As she sat in her bed as she looked at what had become of her them. It had taken awhile but she was at least about to move her new arms about as easily as when they were in their original nonfused forms. However this was taxing to a degree as she was constantly acting as if she was wielding them after all. This was a constant drain on her stamina which made it so that she could actually do much else at the moment. Forget combat as she could not even train properly in her current state.
Though Kuta could not train her normal way, as how she learned to use her arms in her their current state was to acknowledge that they were not just her arms alone but her treasured swords as well. Take the idea of making your weapon into extension of your own body to the extreme but make it literally how you think about them both, her arms and swords that is. Just swing her arms not as if she was holding a sword but like the swords themselves. It gave her the same feeling she would get before the incident happened. However, she would quickly learn that her ability to train had been somehow cut in half when doing this. She would get tired twice as fast then she would have normally and not realize it until she woke up lying in her bed with arms lying at her sides.
She passed out from exhaustion and once she lost consciousness, her arms would fall off as she was not able to use them anymore. She had to be conscious for her arms to stay on. It is something the servants found interesting as if she was not conscious then it would not matter how hard they tried as they could not get her arms to stick to her shoulder at all. Placing them there and picking her up would just result in them falling off. However, trying to walk off with them was also not possible as there seemed to be a range in which they fell to the ground and became too heavy to move. Only become bearable again once Kuta was within range of her metallic arms.
Then there was the state of her overall body itself as she was no longer even the same complexion she was just a week ago. It was like her entire body was permanently tanned to it current complexion somehow. With her hair also being affected she could understand how or why half of it had turned white and her once green eyes were now the color that her swords once were when they were in their original forms.
In her current state, she was not able to actually even leave her own room not that she would have wanted to even as she might even get mistaken for an intruder that merely looked like herself for just merely a week ago. However, it was not like she could not hear the servants talking about her as they left her meals at the door for her to pick up herself. The family was being cautious about who they were allowing to see Kuta in her current state after all.
Kuta flopped back onto her bed as she did so she watched as her arms seemed to just pop off as she lost focus for a moment. Annoyed she lay near them as she was on the bed and they flew back into place on where her shoulders were like magnets. Then she had to ensure the connection was reestablished once she had done so to ensure she at least had the range of motion she was used to from her week of training with arms/swords as they were now.
Raising her arms upward as she was lying on her bed. Kuta thought about what happened when she was the previous day when she attempted to hold another set of blades for the first time since what had happened to her body.
Kuta could not explain but when she tried holding the wooden versions of her dual swords meant for training purposes only. It felt as if she was attempting to wield four swords at the same time and that everything she was doing took four times the effort it normally did. This caused her to get exhausted at an alarming rate which shocked everyone in the Sabre household despite knowing her stamina and ability to use her weapon without tiring was halved already. Kuta did not drop the training swords but her entire arms themselves as they fell to the ground. The wooden swords were still firmly in the grasp of her hands as both arms were lying there on the ground.
'Always wondered what it would be like to attempt to use four swords at once never thought it would be like this though' Kuta thought sighing.
