Chapter 15: Start To Prove Himself

"Wear the clothes that I gave you. You only have five minutes to change. " I left him with his mouth open, and he couldn't believe what I said.

I waited for him at the back of the palace because there was a place where could train and there were various weapons used in fighting. While I was waiting for him, I approached the weapons that were there.

I saw a sword and slowly ran my hand over its hilt. "I haven't held a sword yet, but I will use it the way I use my two woods. It looks different, but I have everything it can do in my hand even if it's the first time I use it. " I took it and removed it from its thin stainless cover; it even sparkled as the sun's rays hit the blade of the sword. "A wrong use of this will certainly put the person in danger of facing for life, especially the one coming." I looked at the prince, who still had a frown on his face.

He stopped in front of me, but he was looking in a different direction. "You're still angry. You're still alive. Why are you still mad ?" And I grinned.

He suddenly looked at me and walked, but just passed me and went behind me where the swords were. I turned and saw that he had also taken a sword that he was going to use.

"Do you know how to use this?" he asked.

"No," I replied quickly.

His eyes widened and he pointed at me with his finger. "How can you teach me if you don't even know how to hold a sword? It would be better if General Agustin was the one to teach me. " He was about to walk away, but I raised my sword and stopped right near his neck. I'm sure if he tried to move, his neck would turn red.

The prince swallowed what I did. I said seriously, "Alright, go to the general, but walk straight without my sword wounding your neck." But he didn't comply, so I secretly smirked and lowered the sword. "Get ready and let's get started." I walked a few steps away from him.

Meanwhile, Dylan was still standing, and the sword he was holding was buried in the ground as he held it. "He doesn't know how to hold a sword, but why does he move so fast while holding it?" I asked myself in confusion as I looked at Adira, who was waiting for me to come closer to start rushing towards her. "I know some tricks that I learned from General Agustin, so I'm sure that I will win between the two of us on the first day." I smiled and suddenly ran towards her while I raised the sword.

She just stood there waiting for me to get close, but it still didn't take any action when I got close. "Isn't she going to move?" I said in my mind, but I was surprised when she blocked my first strike with her sword, so now our eyes were staring at each other seriously as the swords were between us both. 

She smirked, which surprised me because she suddenly pushed her sword, so I dropped mine. She sighed and looked at my sword on the ground. "Tsk, tsk," she shook her head. "You're weak, while me, it's only the first time I've held a sword, but you see, I'm better than you."

"You have too much confidence in yourself!"

She looked at me seriously. "Because it's necessary. If I don't have confidence in myself, I won't be able to do the first thing I tried, like hold the sword. You saw that I was even better at holding and strengthening my grip on the sword, but you let go of your grip on the sword with just a simple push. That shouldn't happen. That's one of the things you should learn because when you push or block your sword when the enemy makes a strange move, you should be able to fight back and block it because if you can't do that, you yourself will be the shield of your own sword. "

 She took my sword and handed it back to me, but I didn't take it right away. "Take it, it doesn't mean that if you take your sword while I'm handing it to you, you've lost. We're just getting started. " I slowly took my sword from his hand.

"I don't think you need to learn to fight right now. I've decided that the first thing I'll teach you is how to hold it so that you can't let go, especially if the opponent is strong."

I was really surprised by what she was saying. "You said earlier that you don't know how to use a sword, but why is the first thing you teach how to handle a sword?"

Her two eyebrows rose, and her forehead suddenly frowned. "All your hands touch are the same, be it wood, sword, bow, or gun. Your hand will control all of them. In short, the outcome is in your hands depending on how you handle the weapons. You must have proper discipline with your hand because if you feel nervous in your chest and it goes to your hand, I'm sure you won't be able to use it for what you're holding properly. " She looked at the sword in my hand. "Just like earlier, you were angry with me, weren't you? You put all your anger and annoyance into your hand, so the result was not good and you easily released the grip on your sword. Yes, it can be used in fighting, but don't let your emotions spread to your whole being. The feelings you want to release, learn to control those and use them in the right way so that it doesn't end up in a bad situation. I'm sure you'll regret it in the end. "

What she said made me think even more now that she knows a lot about battle. "What is your work?" She was surprised by my question.

"Why did you even think to ask what my job is? This is my job. What I do now is teach you and I get paid for it."

"Do you kill people?" I asked her next, and her facial expression immediately changed from a shocked one to a serious one.

"It depends."

"How does it depend?"

"Depends on who I'm talking to, like you." She shivered, laughed, and walked back to the armory.

I closed my eyes tightly. "She's hard to talk to. I don't know if she's saying something true or if she's just playing with my feelings." In the end, I followed her and also went to the location of the weapons.
