Growth period (2)
“I will demonstrate the 1-second ‘non-contact sword’ method of Kaladon’s sword technique.”
Instructor Hans said and held his sword. This is not a consideration for Harang, who is learning for the first time today.
An experienced instructor imprints the movements on the trainees every day to help them realize mistakes and new things.
Although trainees belonging to the family can learn Calathon’s swordsmanship, they cannot learn all herbal techniques.
However, one-second diet is the basic of basics.
Because of this, Harang took training with ordinary trainees.
‘It’s unique.’
The posture in which Instructor Hans held his sword was unusual.
Instead of holding the sword neatly with both hands, it was held with one hand and held out, and the other hand was bent in a posture that seemed to support the back of the sword.
In addition, the way he stretched his left foot backwards and bent his upper body reminded me of a cheetah, as if it was about to leap forward at any moment.
The instructor takes a ready stance and takes a deep breath.
Sigh… .
Immediately after, the sword fell gently and a one-second sword technique in the Kaladan tradition was performed.
“oh.”
If I were to briefly describe Calladun’s sword technique, it could be described as a ‘soft, sharp, and quick dance.’
Indeed, the sword technique was similar to dancing with a sword.
Even Harang could tell that the power behind that light movement was very massive and heavy.
Maybe it was because I could feel mana.
‘This is swordsmanship… … .’
It’s cool and cheerful.
It felt like witnessing some mysterious phenomenon that was incomparable to simply holding and swinging a sword.
Each time the sword was swung, a white beam of light flashed from the tip, giving the illusion that one was swinging a lightsaber.
It was easy to predict that with that beautiful sword technique, it would shine so brightly that it would be dazzling even in the middle of the night.
It is a sword technique that is pleasing to the eyes.
But at the same time.
‘… There’s something awkward and unnatural about it.’
That’s what I thought.
Why?
Even though this is my first time seeing a sword technique, why do I keep feeling like some connecting movement is missing?
It feels empty, as if the chorus was omitted while singing, or as if the high note of the highlight was lowered by 5 keys.
‘Furthermore, the feeling itself from the initial preparation posture and sword movement is completely different.’
When Harang saw the instructor’s prepared posture, he felt like a cheetah.
But what is this sword technique that is unfolding? It looks like a butterfly dancing with swords on its wings, not a cheetah.
‘I think I can swing it a little faster and sharper… … .’
The place where Harang’s gaze was directed was towards the soles of the instructor’s feet.
‘What are the foot movements…? scarce… … ah!’
Only then did I suddenly realize it.
When I thought about it closely, the ‘step most perfectly completed by AI’ in a game I played in the past was quite similar to Callathan’s walking method!
‘It’s similar. It’s definitely similar… … I think I can find out more.’
Callathan’s walking technique was perfect, but the frame seemed a little empty at times. So much so that it would be nice to add at least one more foot movement.
‘I’m not just going to get out of there, I think I’ll get out faster if I tap my foot one more time… … Did the instructor make a mistake?’
After finishing the swordsmanship demonstration a little while later, the instructor returned to his original posture and used the sword.
It looked simple, but if it had been used against a person, it would have easily cut down about five swordsmen.
“This is the first Kaladun sword technique that you will learn from now on. “If you cook herbivorous food perfectly, your black energy will come out naturally.”
“okay. “As expected, it’s amazing.”
Instructor Hans thought he was satisfied with Harang’s answer, but Fillion, who was watching from the side, was not.
Strangely, those eyes seem filled with doubt. Fillion asked because it was not something that was easy to see.
“Can’t you see all the action yet? young master. “If I see you one more time, will you understand?”
“yes? no. That’s enough. but… “I feel like something is missing.”
“You mean it’s not enough?”
Fillion frowned at the unexpected answer.
“Hmm, should I say it feels like there’s a lack of movement?”
“Oh, I see. What I showed you this time is the first method of swordsmanship. “There are two more seconds in the back.”
Despite Fillion’s further explanation, Harang still shook his head with a subtle expression.
“Not that one. “I feel like there are some movements missing from the sword technique that the instructor just showed me.”
“… … !!”
At that moment, Fillion’s pupils dilated greatly, as if his heart had been stabbed by a sharp point.
‘How do you do that… … .’
That is correct.
Currently, several basic movements of the family secret feast learned by direct purebloods were missing.
In the Kaladan sword technique, all movements were perfected only after learning the original seasons.
‘You must have seen swordsmanship for the first time today. How did you know that?’
The insight is sharp enough to point out that the first-second ceremony is incomplete and missing movements.
“Yes, that’s right. But you don’t need to worry. If you prove your skills… … You will learn the perfect vision sword technique.”
“iced coffee… … It was something like that. So, does footwork and other things complement the vision sword technique?”
Foot movement. In modern times, when Harang was active as a gamer, he was called ‘Moving’ or ‘Step’.
It was the footwork that perfectly refined Harang’s control as he was able to block out all of the opponent’s attacks and at the same time cut off the opponent’s neck with incredible speed.
“Hmm, it’s a foot movement.”
Fillion was stroking his beard and thinking. That wasn’t the reaction Harang wanted.
“well. I know that there will be no change in the walking method. “I’m not sure about this part because I didn’t learn vision myself, but even if the basics increase, the basics of footwork will remain the same.”
“… … is that so?”
Harang’s expression became strange at those words.
‘The sword method of the collar sword is a bit awkward in terms of steps rather than the additional movements or something like that… … .’
Harang tried to imitate the foot movements himself, but it was awkward and did not fit well with his body.
‘Tseuup, I think it would be better to go this way rather than sticking out like this.’
Harang thought while touching his lips. There were countless characters in virtual reality games, and ‘mobility’ could not be left out when determining the performance of those characters.
Can you accelerate instantaneously?
How fast does it move?
How far can you go?
How often can you use it?
As such, the mobility of moving quickly and at a moment’s notice was evaluated as very important.
Naturally, he had no choice but to be more sensitive to footwork than anyone else, and even though he was Kaladan, he couldn’t escape his sensitivity.
‘Hmm, I guess I’ll have to practice this later to know exactly.’
Harang slightly bowed his head and said hello.
“Thank you, knight. “It was helpful enough.”
“then… … “Thank goodness.”
Harang’s reaction felt uncomfortable, but Fillion had no choice but to reply that he understood.
I had a slight feeling of hope that this master, who had extraordinary talent unlike others, might have learned something else, but I shook my head to erase it.
‘We don’t know anything yet.’
* * *
It wasn’t difficult to remember and follow the instructor’s movements.
This is because his keen observation skills, which he had been training since his previous life, and his memory for calculating time in decimal seconds were able to catch every single movement.
However, although Harang did not know, simple movements without mana were not proper sword techniques.
Everything about the sword technique was perfectly planned, from the order in which mana circulates to the timing of releasing it and the blueprint for moving muscles.
If even one thing is missing, the sword technique is not complete.
If so, can it be taught by explaining it in writing or speaking?
Some do, some don’t. I could teach you the doctrine of adjusting your posture, timing of giving strength, and circulating mana, but in the end, you had no choice but to figure it all out yourself by swinging the sword hundreds or thousands of times.
Ultimately, it is repetitive learning.
It was possible to finish the Blue Tree Fossil in one day by simply breaking it with force, but can sword training really do the same?
Harang was skeptical about him.
The concept of swordsmanship was completely new to me.
There was a thing called ‘skill’ in virtual reality games, but it referred to an unrealistic phenomenon that was activated when a specific action command was input, and was not something scientific and systematic like swordplay.
“‘One’ is a top cut, ‘two’ is a forward cut to the upper right, and ‘three’ is a rotating horizontal cut. Now, one!”
“one!”
“two!”
“two!
Practicing Caladon’s sword technique began with the process of dividing all movements in detail and becoming familiar with them one by one.
It is impossible to memorize all the movements just by looking at them, so imprint them on your body one by one.
This was a method used not only here on the continent of Astera but also on Earth, but it could also be said to be the most standard training method.
‘Do we really have to do this?’
Even when I was working as a professional gamer on Earth, I occasionally went to events and met famous sword masters and received guidance, but I didn’t really understand the act of practicing each move one by one.
‘I think we can just connect.’
“Okay, here we go. I will rest in the same position holding the wooden sword for 3 minutes. rest!”
“rest!”
The trainees repeat their names and hold on to the wooden swords with trembling hands. Kaladun did not sit down and relax even during breaks, but had to endure it while carrying a heavy wooden sword.
Of course, not everyone gets a break. Some trainees continued to swing their wooden swords as if they had not yet had enough practice.
Harang stood in his place and looked at the instructor.
Suuuuu… … .
In Harang’s field of vision, the instructor’s figure suddenly split into two.
Did the instructor create an immolation?
It’s not like that.
That is a kind of fantasy created entirely from Harang’s imagination.
One of the special skills that he has not revealed to others since he was working as a professional gamer in modern times, making the most of the ‘system protection’.
Once you see the other person’s movements, you can remember them all and simulate them in a realistic environment to experience them vividly.
It consumes an enormous amount of mental power, but if you use it well, you can gain 10 hours worth of experience in 1 hour.
In Harang’s imagination, the instructor reproduces the first non-contact sword technique of Kaladan’s sword technique several times.
Swinging, swinging, swinging again, as if flying in a butterfly-like motion… … .
‘no. ‘It’s not that one either.’
“Okay, break is over!”
The instructor ordered the wooden swords to be raised again, and the trainees stood up without a word and repeated the same process.
So evening came, and while the training ended and everyone dispersed, Harang remained at the training site, staring blankly into space.
“young master. “It seems like today’s training was quite difficult.”
When instructor Hans approached and asked, Harang shook his head.
“no. She was resting for a moment. “I’m going to practice a little more.”
“hmm… … “I see.”
The instructor didn’t really dislike seeing Harang like that. There was no one who disliked a student who practiced hard.
“I hope you don’t overdo it.”
When the instructor finished cleaning up with the trainees and returned, Harang took a deep breath and adjusted his posture.
‘I don’t know anything about swordsmanship. There’s definitely something wrong, but you won’t be able to figure out what it is.’
Harang definitely has a talent for the sword.
However, because his talent had not yet blossomed, he could not fully understand everything.
Someday, in the distant future.
If I reached the highest level with the Harangi sword, I might be able to figure out the problems that exist in Kaladun’s sword technique, but I didn’t want to wait until then.
Because it was frustrating.
‘I need to know.’
It’s impossible if you do it alone.
However, with the power of ‘System Protection’ and his talent to handle it to the limit better than anyone else on earth, anything is possible.
Flash!
With sparkling eyes, Harang raised his wooden sword in the air and aimed it at the imaginary instructor.
My head gets hot, and the world turns round, as if looking through a concave mirror.
A world of hyper-focus.
Harang, who had a talent for ‘system synchronization’ that could extend 1 second to 10 seconds, was able to demonstrate that ability here in reality.
“Whoa.”
Harang, who entrusted himself to the protection of the system, swung his sword as he had learned from his instructor.
After cutting at the top, move forward and cut at the top right. Then a spinning slash… … .
“… … !”
Harang, who was trying to use the sword technique he had learned from the instructor, was momentarily taken aback because the system guard moved his body differently.
The next move was not a simple rotating horizontal cut.
Step three times in a row and then accelerate in an instant to perform an accelerated rotational slash that decapitates the enemy!
That is the true movement of Kaladan’s sword technique that Harang was missing.
It was a season that only purebloods directly descending from Caladun could learn!
‘No, this is not a real move. This technology… … ‘It can be faster!’
System Protection showed the true basics of Caladun’s sword technique, but Harang upgraded it himself.
Awesome! Trying to ignore the strong will that seemed to be calling out to her to move forward, Harang took a step in the direction of her will.
It denies the system’s perfect AI and Caladorn’s hundreds of years of history.
and.
Creates a new sword technique.
[Caladon Sword Technique 1st Lunar Eclipse]
[Non-touch sword]
[Moon sign]
Wow… … !!
Harang advanced a distance of more than ten steps in an instant and cut off the imaginary instructor’s head. He later showed a bewildered expression with his hair flying.
“what… hey… … ?”
[Recalling the forgotten skill ‘Old Moon Step’, it is synchronized with Caladon’s sword technique.]
It took a long time for him to understand that he had created a new sword technique.
