Chapter 91 – Rania Is Training Mana?
“Wow~ I’m full…”
“Pig.”
“Isn’t it a pig?”
Rania, who had devoured all the snacks, was lying on her back facing the sky and resting comfortably in the sunlight.
No, how big does a boat have to be to fit all that volume?
She thought that even the two of them wouldn’t be enough… Rania must have been a cow in her past life.
“Whew~ Can’t I just take a nap?”
“Um… Can I take a break…?”
“Of course! “I’ll work harder after I take a nap, right?”
When I saw Rania begging me with her half-closed eyes, as if she had really fallen asleep, my heart began to weaken.
Well, he’s not trying to be a knight or a fighter, so wouldn’t it be okay to take it easy?
I also want to relieve some of my itching.
“Then, take a nap.”
“Really? But isn’t your brother sleeping?”
“I’ll just move a little and sleep.”
“Okay.”
With those words, his half-closed eyes suddenly closed, and he fell down onto the weeds soaked in sunlight.
“Koh…”
“I really fell asleep right away.”
She probably had a hard time training today because Rania prefers to stay indoors rather than go out.
So, I told you to exercise at least a little bit…
She didn’t go out much, so her skin was pale, and even with that out of the way, I was worried that her body was so weak compared to the surrounding women.
I want to exercise hard, but in the end, the true value comes only when you make your own choice, so I don’t touch it any more than this.
Then should I stop thinking about Rania and just swing my sword?
It seems like it’s been a while since she’s wielded her sword, so it seems like a lot of it has come together?
“Nia. “Are you awake?”
[Uhm…? Ranel? How many days has it been since I woke up?]
‘Was it about three days?’
[How hard did you have to swing your mother’s sword to break it so much that I had to focus on repairing it for three days…]
Perhaps because Nia’s damage was so great after her sparring with her mother, she couldn’t even talk to me and just focused on repairing herself.
Therefore, it was her first time meeting Nia after sparring.
It was nice to hear it again after a long time… But I was sorry that I wouldn’t be using it often anymore.
“It can be converted into a sword, right?”
[Of course!]
-Xueeng!
Her bracelet instantly turned into a sword and was held tightly in my hand. It was a sword that was still light and had a good center of gravity.
Demon Sword Nia.
Just by hearing its name, it is a sword that seems like it could cut down any human being, but it was just Nia, a sword that had never actually cut down a person.
They say it’s a magic sword, but it doesn’t act like a magic sword… This isn’t a traditional magic sword.
‘Then shall we cut it just a little bit?’
Raise the sword high and swing it diagonally. I cut down where I swing honestly.
It doesn’t feel like this.
The last time I saw my mother’s sword, it wasn’t this honest.
Swinging the sword dishonestly does not mean swinging it strangely, but rather an attack that curves in a completely different curve than expected based on the movement of the shoulder or muscles.
I wanted to make that attack mine.
“Is it like this?”
-Whisk!
He swung his sword roughly. The sound of the air splitting and tearing echoed, but it did not feel like this.
In fact, it’s slower and more uncomfortable than my swordsmanship.
The most important thing is not an attack that bends like your mother’s sword.
If it doesn’t work once, try it twice. If it doesn’t work, try it three times. If that doesn’t work, try it until it works.
They told me to stop using the sword, but it will be okay if I do it secretly.
I swung my sword, but I couldn’t get caught at all.
It doesn’t bend, but rather the posture collapses.
‘Isn’t this it?’
[Ranell, isn’t your posture too wrong?]
‘Huh?’
My posture is wrong… I always have the same posture.
To say that my posture is wrong, I don’t know what’s different because it’s the same as the posture I usually use.
‘What’s wrong?’
[No, it wasn’t just today, it was always awkward… But it’s even worse now.]
‘I don’t know?’
[Wow! Then, I’ll lend you my perspective, so take a look!]
The field of view becomes wider… No, it’s not that the field of view becomes wider, but the field of view through the right eye and the field of view through the left eye are different.
The left eye’s field of view was the same as usual from a first-person perspective, but the right eye’s field of view was like a completely different person’s view than the usual field of view.
It feels like there’s a camera installed behind me…
Is this the sharing of the sense?
[Now swing again.]
“Oh, okay!”
-Whisk!
Uh…? Is this really weird? Although I have always moved my body, this was the first time I had seen the entire body in person.
Looking at myself, I swung again. Something is strange… I don’t know what the problem is from a normal person’s perspective, but I could see it with my own eyes.
It’s as if something doesn’t fit my body.
This time I swung in the opposite direction. As expected, the sword was swung cleanly, but something was strange.
I swung again.
Again…
Also…
Something is strange.
Strange, something strange, but I can’t find it at all.
Something seems to have forgotten the most important thing…
If you figure this out… You can does it like your mother.
What’s the problem?
I can’t figure out what the problem is!
-Hwiik!
Perhaps because I was so frustrated at the moment, I accidentally filled it with mana and swung it. Naturally, the sword filled with mana tore through the air faster and more intensely than the sword I swung earlier.
“Brother? What are you doing…?”
“Sorry… I broke it.”
‘Hey, idiot, your younger brother is sleeping behind you, and you can’t beat him, so you swing your sword as you please.’
Stupidly, I ended up showing the guy named Oppa being all alone and shaking in his anger… If there was even a mouse hole, I would want to hide.
“Hmm? “Are you mom?”
“Hmm?”
Rania, who still seemed to be half asleep, was rubbing the area around her eyes with her hand and straining her eyes to find out who I was.
‘But you’re a mother… What are you looking at?’
“Oh, you’re my brother… I’m sorry, my posture was so similar to my mom’s that I got confused…”
“The posture was the same?”
“Huh! “It was exactly like my mom.”
Lightning began to flash in my head and something I had forgotten began to come to mind. Yes… That was it. I had forgotten such an important thing.
I hit her head with my palm and blamed myself for doing stupid things in the past.
Okay… The answer was so close, but I missed it… I’m embarrassed.
“Oppa?”
“Thank you.”
I raised the sword and swung it in the air again.
-Whisk!
‘As expected… It was right…’
When I think that I can find a problem and solve it, a smile automatically begins to bloom on my face.
What was the problem?
When I swung the sword again, the angle of my feet was too wrong. I also lifted my arms too high compared to my body.
When swinging the sword, the arm was also bent strangely.
But the bigger problem is…
All of these postures are the same as my mother.
“It was this… It was this.”
I swung the sword again.
-Shhh!
As if it had become softer and more precise than before, little by little, the sword began to bend instead of being straight as I wanted.
It doesn’t bend as many times as my mother’s sword, but it’s starting to improve little by little.
It was a problem in the first place because I tried to copy my mother’s posture.
Naturally, my mother’s posture was optimized for her, so if I used it, it would be less efficient… Even though I knew that, I thought that my posture was different from her mother’s posture.
Rather than copying someone else’s posture, I begin to find my own posture that is optimized for my body.
It’s easier if you do it this way… No, it breaks better if you do it this way… No, it takes more strength if you do it this way.
The more you swing the sword, the better it bends and the more powerful it becomes.
‘The sword feels like a part of my body.’
[Ranell! You, no way…!]
Yes, I think I understand.
I can clearly see what is lacking within me and what I need to fix. If you follow this path, you can reach a higher level.
Swinging the sword, he begins to cut the air and leaves around him.
All postures and attacks are connected, repeated, and piled up like a dance.
As it builds up, you can change your posture at will to make new changes and push yourself even further.
There is no need to force yourself to get into a different position… Just continue from that position.
I just corrected my posture. My swordsmanship is also starting to change.
Swordsmanship that focuses on speed and puts a lot of power into the legs, but with as little stamina as possible… Creates a swordsmanship that is like a dance, using that stamina one more time and repeating it.
“This is the area my mother used to see.”
I cannot say that I am in the same realm as my mother, who is a sword master.
Still… Still… I found the answer sheet that went up there and threw it away.
“It’s beautiful…”
[Lanelle…]
Today I felt something growing inside me.
Although the feeling was unfamiliar, it felt as if it was something I had known from the beginning.
Mother… Please wait.
I said I would quit knights and swords, but I didn’t say I would stop my hobby.
-Siik…
There was no sound from the sword that cut the air cleanly.
