A Wandering Ronin Teacher and Student
It was already evening. The sun was almost slipping on the eastern horizon. The snow that fell and was carried by the wind had now lessened. People who have been active since the morning are ready to return to their respective homes. At the tavern, Yuta was still trying hard to practice the trick to hide the two balls. Even his hands were sore now."Alright, enough for today," said Erald as he stretched his spine."This is a simple trick. But it's very difficult," said Yuta.“Everything if we understand the basic technique, it will be easier when we study it further. Even without a teacher.”"So how much should I pay you?"Erald looked at Yuta. Then he laughed."Hahaha, don't worry about that. Seeing your determination to study alone is worth it for me,” Erald smiled broadly."What do you mean?"“I will teach you all the magic tricks I can. And when you can do it, you'll make your own magic tricks."Yuta fell silent hearing Erald's answer.“B...but....”"Don't think about it," Erald c
A Wandering Ronin Stick and Coin
Erald and Yuta looked at each other. Since Erald was sitting on his folding platform and Yuta was sitting cross-legged on the snow, Yuta looked up a little to see Erald. Before long, Erald smiled broadly.“I'll teach you another magic trick,” said Erald."What trick?" asked Yuta.“There are some easy tricks you can learn as a beginner.”Yuta nodded.Erald smiled then he took a coin and showed it to Yuta."You know what this is?" asked Erald.Yuta replied, “Coins.”“I will remove this coin. Watch my hands,” Erald rolled up the sleeves of his coat and service to below his elbows."I'll pay attention," Yuta nodded.Erald placed the coin in the palm of his left hand then closed it tightly. Rubbing the back of the left hand with the right. When his right hand snapped his fingers, his left fist opened and the coin was gone."Where's the coin?" Yuta's eyes glanced at Erald's hands.“Pay attention to this,” Erald raised the index finger of his right hand.Erald's right hand gestured as if he
A Wandering Ronin Stick vs Ax
After several times Yuta tried the coin trick, his hands felt sore. He even waved his hand because it was sore. Erald laughed seeing Yuta whose hands were sore. Because he remembered when he first learned magic. He also felt what Yuta felt at that time."Relax, I felt the same way when I first learned magic," Erald smiled broadly."It seems everyone will feel the same way when they do something for the first time," said Yuta, clenching his fists."You are right."“This is a lot like when I first learned how to cut chunks of wood with my father's ax. The ax was very heavy. To the point that my palms hurt and my hands also feel the same way.”"And after getting used to it?""It doesn't feel at all.""Then you try again."Yuta nodded then he tried to perform the trick again. This time the coin did not fall. But Yuta's hand movements were still slow and the movement of the coins was still visible when Erald carefully watched Yuta's movements.“If you stand as a spectator, the coins still
A Wandering Ronin The Ruler
The harder he tried to learn coin tricks, Yuta have feel tired. For over an hour he stood in front of the mirror cloth and practiced the coin trick until his hands got used to it. Erald just sat on his folding platform while watching Yuta. Now and then he corrected Yuta's mistakes. But this time, Erald felt that Yuta had mastered the coin trick.“Okay, you can perform the trick in front of me,” said Erald.Yuta stopped and turned to face Erald. His sharp eyes stared at Erald then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath and let it out through his mouth. After opening his eyes, Erald immediately performed the coin trick. He held the coin in his right hand then he put the coin in his left palm then he held the coin. His right hand rubbed the back of his left hand and after that, he snapped the fingers of his right hand and opened his right hand. The coin is gone.“Good,” Erald nodded.Then Yuta made a motion rubbing his palms. And when his left palm closes, he snaps the fingers of his
A Wandering Ronin A Shock
When the heating stove's fire started to shrink, Erna immediately threw another lump of wood. The fire slowly grew and the room temperature grew warmer. It wasn't long before Erni sat beside him. They were silent while watching the snow frogs hunting the insects that Erna had given them. Now and then the frogs were silent staring at something empty.“Hey, sometimes, I think I'd better be a star. Especially frogs," said Erna breaking the silence."Why do you think so?" asked Erni who was surprised by her twin sister's statement.“Whatever fate befell them, they always accept it. Look at these frogs. Brought by our father in a frozen state. Separated from family and friends. They continue to live. Even fate feeds him through my hands.” Erna opened her right hand wide."Then, think of yourself as an animal," Erni patted Erna's shoulder."Can not. Humans have passions. Sometimes they accept fate. Sometimes, they do not accept the fate that befell them. Humans are complex creatures of thou
A Wandering Ronin Before That Will Happens
The townspeople of Sarmith were taken aback by the slight shaking that occurred. They stopped their respective activities and partly looked towards the southwest. Like something caught their attention. It didn't take long for the small shaking to stop. Of course, some people will think that the shock was a small earthquake. The people in the market near the park square were confused by what had happened."Was that an earthquake?" asked the candy seller."I think so. A few minutes before, the animals were behaving strangely,” replied one of the candy shop customers wearing a hat."I have a bad feeling about this," said another customer who was a man with neat hair."Throw away your thoughts. Sarmith is a peaceful city and there has never been a conflict, let alone a natural disaster,” said the candy seller.The shock was no longer felt. But the behavior of the animals remained strange. Even the sheep breeders were confused by what happened to their sheep. The farmer with the long beard
A Wandering Ronin Storm
Lamin shouted louder as his hands were stretched out and accompanied by the shaking of the earthquake. Barim and Terry were still trying not to get sucked in. But their efforts failed. They were sucked and strangled by Lamin's hand. His right hand strangled Barim's neck, and his left hand strangled Terry's neck. Lamin turned to the two of them in turn and slammed them onto the ground very hard.Instantly Barim and Terry spit blood from their mouths. Lamin then laughed in satisfaction. He then bent down while his hands were like hugging. Then he stretched out his arms with all his might and suddenly there was a kind of shaking again this time bigger. The thunder roared and the snow fell even more.“Master Lamin, you managed to obtain the power of the ancestral tree and nature,” Labib said proudly.Erim couldn't do anything about it. He was just holding on to the tree because the wind that carried the snow was blowing very hard."What happened?" asked Boris."Looks like Lamin is absorbi
A Wandering Ronin Aurora
"Earlier the storm had stopped but it was raging again," said Erald who was still looking out the window.Yuta also felt the same way. Like there is something strange with the weather this time. He then walked over and stood beside Erald while also looking out the window."I'm aware of that too. Like the weather is controlling,” Yuta then wiped the window glass with his right hand."Looks like this storm will last a long time.""Hope not. My father and mother are working in the forest cutting down trees.”"Are you serious?"Yuta nodded."Do they have a place to hide?""I do not know.""We're going after them.""In the middle of a storm like this?""Even if the wind is strong, our bodies won't be dragged away.""Are you sure?""I don't want my students to lose their parents just like me."Yuta was moved by Erald's answer. From that answer, Erald already considered Yuta to be his disciple. Even though he was hesitant at first, Yuta finally agreed with Erald's suggestion. The two of them
