Chapter 4 - Heritic Olympian Sword style

Finally, the day arrived in the afternoon.

I'm quite happy now because my master wants to teach me sword style.

"For observing I've now found a sword style perfectly fit for you."

I asked, "What is it, master?"

He said, "Heretic Olympian sword style."

He then stands in the middle of the practice yard."Watched me carefully." He then slowly moved like his body being swept by the wind.

"The first thing you should've put in your mind when practicing Heretic Olympian is to make your body soft and moved like your body is being swept by the wind.

He then moved again teaching me how to do it.

When he found I have wronged.

"Don't just your body but also all your limbs."

He is a good teacher he would teach every mistake I took.

We practiced for over 2 hours.

"Probably in the next few days you can master it." He said with a happy tone.

"Well, for now, let's go for the second step. Go pick up your weapons" He then ordered me.

I then followed and get my sword.

"So what's now?" I asked

"Add the sword in your body just like earlier ago."

"...oh."

When I add the sword I feel my body is can't synchronize with the sword, but for training one hour I finally a little could do.

"oooh…." I absorbed air in the surroundings and exhale.

"Oh!.." Master smiled at me then he said again.

"Let's go for the last step" but seeing my body, he just said," just rest for 30 minutes and I will show you the last step. 

…. 

.. 

 … 

32 minutes passed.

"Get ready and fight me. I will show you  the real Heretic Olympian sword style prowess."

But before we fight I asked my master, "What style should I use? Heretic or normal style?"

"You still don't have mastery of Heretic Olympian sword style, just go fo normal style."

I then nodded and fix my posture.

My master started to move. I hardly can't predict his movement and the incoming of the sword.

Earlier ago his movement is like being swept by winds but now he is like dancing with winds as all of his limbs moved. Hindering my focus and timing.

When I found a good spot, I then rightly, fastly slash my sword. 

His sword was afar in the spot I slashed upon on his. I thought it is my win because my sword distance and his were quite far.

I can't stop my sword anymore, which is going to land upon his chest.

I thought my sword was going to wounds my master, yet before it landed the sword on his body a surprise appeared on my face.

His sword from afar suddenly exploded to such speed which is the sword I holding flew away from the speediness I didn't expect to happen, countering my sword.

That's.....… I can't describe the prowess of the sword style.

Because it is too good to be true I can't take my eye on the sword, from my master.

Master cut off my Amazement as he continued speaking.

"That's the real prowess of Heretics sword style."

"Where does this sword Style whence from?"I just asked because I want to know who created it or where it whence from but I saw the glint of sadness on my master's face.

So I changed the topics.

 And asked him how to bring the real potential of sword style. 

 .. 

… 

..

Another day passed.

I finally grasped the last step of the sword, "It's just a different way of Aura Mana. Because this was, if you sense the Mana fastly and delivered it to sword and attack rightly then I'm sure you could bring the real prowess of sword style."

"Master I still have lingering questions inside my mind that need to be fed with Answers," I still have thoughts that still, I can't answer that's why I asked the master.

"Ok! ….What is it?"

"I'm still a mortal why I'm unable to sense Mana?"

"Oh! Good question… Then let me tell you…. The reason why even a mortal could sense Mana is that they live in Mana."

"What? Explain it clearly."

"Let me ask you what would happen if a rich lady stumbles upon a dirty river?."

"She would probably cry of being stained by filth," I answered clearly.

"Then what would happen if she would live in a dirty river for over many years."

I then answer while contemplating what he means, "She would….. So that is hahaha." when I Laughed my master also laughed.

"I guess having is genius disciple easy. Because I don't need to explain the answer, haha." In his thoughts.

Hahaha, probably why you don't have in the past disciple because the way you spoke contains a mysteries and illogical. 

The people here didn't experience education so they didn't can harmonize the way of thinking with my master.

… 

…..

That's.....… I can't describe the prowess of the sword style.

Because it is too good to be true I can't take my eye on the sword, from my master.

Master cut off my Amazement as he continued speaking.

"That's the real prowess of Heretics sword style."

"Where does this sword Style whence from?"I just asked because I want to know who created it or where it whence from but I saw the glint of sadness on my master's face.

 And asked him how to bring the real potential of sword style.

Another day passed.

.

.. 

…

Night descends.

While eating I asked my master, "Why you hadn't let Lemuel your disciple. Isn't he also a genius."

He then stopped eating and said, "Mastering the Aura Mana is genius here but in outside place, it's just normal. To me his will is admirable but sadly he is not a fast learner like you. Remember there are still mountains higher than you. So don't be like him blinded by own achievement." At first, he really wants to accept Lemuel as a disciple. But when he saw his tan skin he changed his mind. Embodiments of devil!

I nodded, one spoon of meat I put inside my mouth, then asked again, "Can you accurately discern his talent?."

He just said normally, "Maybe just like mine, above averaged."

"…..Oh." Probably master knew how time-consuming it was to teach him so he didn't take the risk.
