I opened my eyes again, I was agitated and with a sweaty back, the bastard Hitogami had visited me in my dreams, he warned me a month before as he had promised me.
"It will be time for you to tell your family, hehehe. I will come to visit you again the day before. Until then, see you!" I still remember Hitogami's laughter. The echo resonates in my ears, and my blood boils.
I got out of bed and changed my sheets. Then I put on my training clothes, which were getting too small for me.
Now I was 180 cm tall, I was the same height as Dad now, and my strength had also increased.
Now in addition to being a Sword Emperor, I am a Water King.
My relationships have also improved considerably, in addition to having two girlfriends and a wife, I have become friends with Isolte, although I have no feelings for her, she is someone very nice.
But besides that, her pride was damaged when I became the Water King so quickly, but fortunately, this gave her more motivation and now she is a Sword Saint.
Nina and Eris' progress has also increased, now Nina is able to use Flow normally which makes her a Water Saint.
Eris on the other hand, although it has become clear that the Water God style is not her strong point, she has improved her skills remarkably, Isolte recently said that she had the level of an advanced rank.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same about Ghislaine, it seems she's stuck at the Sword King level and doesn't seem to be improving.
Since her mating season is over and is about to start in a couple of months, our study sessions have been noticeably reduced.
But fortunately, she still lets me touch her in my favorite places, although she's not as sensitive as before, but it's nothing to worry about.
And another thing to highlight is that Gino Jr. has grown considerably, now my little friend is 15 cm tall, it's not much but it's honest work, plus my body is still in full development.
...
"Uuuuf....uuuf....good job Gino" my father murmured breathlessly while he was on the ground.
Since that duel with Gull Farion months ago, my strength shot up again, now I can beat Dad effortlessly, something I never thought I was capable of.
And although I haven't faced Gull again now I have the confidence that I can beat him hehehe, yes, you heard right my friend!.
"You're getting old Dad," I said with a smile while I helped him get up from the ground.
"It's not true, what happens is that you get stronger every day," my dad said with a smile while he dusted off his training clothes.
"Hey, you guys! Stop playing and come inside, the food is getting cold!" Mom snapped from the porch.
Dad and I hurried and went inside to eat.
Breakfast was the same as always but that doesn't mean it's not good anymore.
After eating and bathing again, I headed towards the dojo. It was early in the morning, the sun was just rising and the snow barely covered the ground like summer dust.
I walked idly to the dojo but something caught my attention, there was Eris... dueling with a man with a peculiar cut... he looked like a peacock...
"Holy shit!" I shouted as I ran to stop them, it was Aubert Corvette, the North Emperor.
...
[Eris Pov]
I had woken up early, and holding back my drowsiness, I headed to the outer training room, the courtyard of the central dojo, but there was a man I didn't recognize, a striking man, his robe was dyed in the colors of the rainbow, and underneath it he wore knee-high boots, with four swords at his waist, on his cheek he had a tattoo of a peacock and his hair was tied up in a style that fanned out at the top.
When he saw me, he slightly bowed his head and tried to greet me.
"Good morning, I am the Emperor...
"Move!" I yelled at him, the asshole was in my way and he was not in a good mood.
"What?!" the man said huh immediately unsheathing one of his swords.
"You're in my way," I said taking a step forward as I spoke, this man is nothing more than an obstacle and I must receive Gino when he arrives...
"What the hell is this creature?!" the man said as he got into a combat stance.
At this comment I felt like a vein had burst on my forehead and I also pulled out my own sword.
"You can refer to me as Aubert, the peacock sword" the man said.
"I see that you are a student of the Sword God Style, can you guide me with the Sword God?..." the man said in a calmer tone but still on guard.
"I told you to move!" I yelled now angrier than ever.
I was telling him to get out of my way, however, those words were not registered by the man called Auber, this made my killing intent increase.
And at this Aubert with a sword in his right hand, reached for the shorter sword with his left, however, he swung his weapon backwards, brandishing the flat side of the blade towards me.
At this attack distance, I decided that I would eliminate the obstacle by force, I used a long sword of light, the skill that Gino helped me perfect through practice, a normal opponent would have no hope of countering the most lethal technique of the Sword God Style.
However, that was only if it was a normal opponent, Aubert held both swords in his hands and used them to repel my attack, I had already anticipated this by his reaction and was now swinging my sword in the opposite direction.
"Ah!..." Aubert screamed and my sword was stopped by his left hand, I used two hands to swing my sword, while he only used one, but he deflected my attack easily, just grazing the edge of his hair.
My body followed the momentum of my sword, making me trip on the foot on which it was spinning, at that precise moment, Aubert's right hand flew towards my neck.
"tch" I clicked my tongue and let myself fall on my blades on the ground, Aubert's weapon pierced the empty space where I was.
I moved like a cat trying to find an opportunity to attack...
Aubert kicked my sword and it buried itself in the snow, normally this would be the end of the fight but I didn't stop there, the moment I realized I had lost my sword I lunged towards Aubert with only my fists.
I lunged at Aubert but he slammed the center of his sword into my cheek with enough force to break his cheekbone, but I barely dodged it and it left a small cut on my face.
However I didn't stop there.
"Graaaaah!" I hit his jaw with all my might.
"mrgh!" He moaned and blood came out of his mouth.
But the bastard gave me a strong kick that made me roll in the snow, he readjusted the hilt of his sword and was now in front of me.
But luckily for me, I landed right where my sword had landed before, my breathing was labored as I grabbed my weapon, I had to kill him!!
but then I felt a change of pressure in the air, a presence, Aubert also noticed it and looked in the direction it came from.
The air whistled and between us appeared a tall man with brown hair, I couldn't see him, he simply appeared in front of me and stood in Aubert's way.
"Enough!!" Gino shouted.
...
[Gino Pov]
"My apologies, I am the North Emperor Aubertt" he said as he put a hand on his chest and bowed with a noble greeting.
"You must be the Sword Emperor Gino Britzs, right? In Asura there are rumors of a child who has already reached such a high level" Aubert continued with a smile.
"Yes...what are you doing with her..."
"So you have come North Emperor" Gull's voice reached me from the side and Aubert turned to look at him.
Gull had appeared there without me noticing and was now standing at the entrance of the central dojo, Aubert put away his sword and Eris lay down on her back on the ground, she looked at the ground and breathed with difficulty.
I quickly approached her and helped her up, she smiled at me while leaning on me.
"Are you okay? What were you thinking?!" I scolded her and she just looked away.
Aubert bowed again.
"It's been too long, Master Sword God" he said.
"I read your letter, and then that girl attacked me" Aubert said as he glanced at Eris.
"Ahh, incredible right?" Gull said with a smile.
"It's the first time I've seen such an impeccable sword fighter, she was almost like a beast, aah!, so this is the girl they refer to as the mad dog" Aubert said as he brought a hand to his forehead.
"Yes, I want her to train me, and I see you've already met my star student huh?" Gull said as he glanced at me.
"Yes, I couldn't even see his movements even until he stood in front of me jajajaja " Aubert replied as he followed Gull to the dojo.
I stayed there with Eris, while she caught her breath.
Eris listened to Aubert's conversation while I held her, the way she walked was unsteady and gave her an unearthly appearance, Seeing her, Aubert readied his sword again, but Eris just glared at him and entered the central dojo.
"Are you okay?" I said as I hugged her, Eris flinched slightly at this but nodded as she hugged me back.
"Yeah, that bastard is skilled..." she muttered
"Eris...what did we say about attacking strangers without provocation?" I said as I looked her in the eyes seriously and Eris just looked away embarrassed.
"Eris..." I murmured to her.
She just blushed and gave me a little punch in the stomach.
"I'm sorry..." She murmured.
I could only sigh as I helped her up, with healing magic I cured her wounds and took her to train alone.
I felt bad since Eris got up early to greet me but ran into Aubert and I also made a mental note to help him contain his aggressive impulses.
Inside the central dojo, Aubert was talking to Gull, he had already forgotten about his encounter with Eris, but the memory of Gino's presence sank deeply into his thoughts.
He couldn't see their movements at all which made him shudder with fear.
Besides the way that boy treated that red-haired woman he assumed they were close, Aubert made a mental note not to bother that boy.
