Another week passed, and Kuta was still remaining confined to her room the entire time. She had adapted to the condition of her arms/sword though she could however merely use her arms like before currenly. Actually using them for combat purposes was beyond her at the moment. She was still training herself to move onward towards the next level after all. These arms were not just that after all they were also her beloved swords that she kept with her at all times.
She now training to use her arms as if they were swords themselves. She could not wield a sword or any other type of weapon for that matter as it would feel like she was using four of them instead of two. Thus her practice now just consisted of her standing around in her room swings her arms with the precision and fluid motion that she did when she was using her swords.
"Why are you failing your arms around instead of using the practice swords if you can practice again" a servant asked her
"Huh!? I am practicing with my swords though" Kuta replied
"How as your swords are no more and you can not get new ones until you get used to using a sword again," they told her
"You can see these right here as they are literally my arms now. Train until your weapon becomes an extension of yourself while that is seemingly what happened to my arms and my swords" Kuta sighed.
The servants then left the room muttering to themselves as they did so. The servants in the Sabre household were not the typical kind but they were all various masters of the blade that were competing to become part of the Sabre branch family. While there could be only one Sabre a generation there were others that were considered just as powerful, strong, and skilled thus while they could not earn the Sabre name. They could if they serve under the Sabre family make a name for themselves thus gaining their own last name based on their own weapon or become a branch family to the Sabre family.
Kuta becoming the Sabre for her generation so early did rub a lot of people the wrong way especially the servants within the Sabre family household who were via for that title yet lost it to a kid of all people. Though this was another reason why Kuta was training again as she was never the strongest nor the most powerful when it came to the sword. She did not gain the Sabre name and her title of Spellblade because of those two things. It was her skills and her stamina that allowed her to overcome those that normally a weapon users would not be able to
"What do you mean that you can not find anything wrong with her," her father asked
They were yelling once again at the weapon user expert that he used his connections and influence to come privately to the Sabre estate to oversee his daughter. It had been well over two weeks since any news of Kuta had been released. Her official debut in the weapon user world was supposed to be on her birthday as despite being the youngest swordmaster and person to hold the Sabre title. She was not ever seen that much by the general public as few within it knew what she actually looked like personally. They knew who she was because of her name and title but it was something of a tradition where the previous Sabre does not reveal the next one until their own kid reaches their pre-teens. There are many reasons and rumors about why the family does this but they are not alone in this practice. It was merely a practice said to be started by the second holder of the Sabre name and as those that took names based on their weapon type appeared this practice spread towards them as well.
Kuta's father was delaying his daughter's debut not just to the general weapon user world but showing the youngest swordmaster that also gain the name of Sabre already and had maintained it for years now. She was said to be a serious condition that was affecting her health that why she was being presented on her birthday and that was partially true. Kuta seemed fine on the outside but just one look at her and you could tell there was clearly something that had happened to her. After all, she looked like a different person who also could not do half the things the old she could. The half that she could do were vastly different in their own rights.
"Just that as there is nothing seemingly with Lady Kuta at all. All the tests come up showing her as normal...at least what has been passing as normal for her" the expert said.
Kuta's case was always unique given the number of things she could do that no swordmaster before as been capable of in the past. Thus many experts have studied her over the years to ensure that everything was fine with her. They wanted to be sure that there was nothing too abnormal going on within her body given what she was going through at her age after all.
"Sir, If I may suggest if there is nothing that can be determined by a weapon user's experts such as myself and others. There might be another way to figure out what is going on with your daughter" the expert suggested.
"What could you possibly suggest that we have not already tried I even look through the family archive not once not twice but thrice to see if there were any cases like my daughter's in even the slightest throughout our family's long history," her father said.
Sighing a bit before the expert then tried voicing their opinion
"Your daughter's title as a swordmaster is Spellblade, correct," they asked
"Of course since what she does seems like magic so much so that it has been jokingly called blade magic at times. Thus the reasoning behind her title" her father stated
"Here me out for a second what if that was the case," the expert said
"Huh!?" her father said
"What if she is using mana in a manner that is closer to magic but somehow she is replicating the skills of a sword user instead of traditional magic thus she has actually created blade magic....for real" the expert explained.
"Since the original Sabre, this family has never once produced any mages capable of using magic in all the years of its existence," her father said "I will humor you since its best to nip this nonsense in the bud now," her father said.
