It has been two days since Sam got his adventurers card and was looking forward for next quest. Cain on the other hand was preparing for a special training session. "Get ready for your training". Going out in the ground "I am going to teach you sword aura"
"Master what is sword aura?", asked Sam.
Taking a stance Cain focused on the huge boulder in front of him and with a shout swing his sword. The sword went through the rock like a knife cleaving butter and the rock slit into two. Sheathing his sword Cain looked towards Sam and said, "this is sword aura".
Seeing the state of rock Sam looked towards the sword in his hand. Taking a step forward with determination Sam took the stance and swinged with all his might. *Clank. The sword bounced of his hand after striking the rock and fell on the ground.
Picking his sword from the ground Sam took the stance took the shot. *Clank The same result. Again tried the same result.
"Do not think and just feel it in our veins. Continue striking until you feel", saying this Cain took a spot under a tree and continued observing.
[Finally he his training you to the bones.]
'For me to achieve my dream this is a necessary step. After this I will be able to those flashy moves.'
Morning went afternoon came. Afternoon went and night came. Sam's sword was now chipped from many places and on the verge of breaking. *fuu *fuu Breathing heavily and sweating crazy but giving up was not an option for Sam. "Let's call it a day and continue tomorrow", saying this Cain went inside.
Laying on the bed Sam was trying to get the feeling his master was trying to tell.
'Sei, tell me do you know about sword aura'
[Do you know what is the difference between sword and magic?]
'No tell me'
[Energy is present in different forms around us. Magician use mana, sword masters use sword aura but all of them is just energy manipulation in desired form.]
'Sword aura is energy?'
[To use sword aura, first visualize the energy flow within your body. Then allow it to envelop the sword and convert it into attack]
'Hmm it is difficult to visualize but I will try'
The next morning Sam went out with new determination and started practicing. 'Collect energy and visualize it flowing through the hand and envelop the sword'. Taking a deep breath Sam started focusing energy in his body. Finally swinging his sword down Sam saw a slight red glow on the tip and the sword chipped a small potion of rock.
"Finally, finally" excited at the result Sam was feeling a new thrill. Cain who was watching also had a small smile on his face.
[You are finally getting it. Practicing will help you master it]
'Hmm, this feeling is so good. I think I am getting addicted to it'.
"Do not stop practicing. Learn it as fast as possible. Our next task depends on your skill.
"Yes master" and Sam started continuing practicing.
