"Edge aren"t you happy learning magic with mommy? Are you really more interested in learning swordsmans.h.i.+p? W...W...Well, you"re a boy after all so I guess swordsmans.h.i.+p suits your taste more than learning boring magic." My mom told me so sulkily.

"No I also like to learn magic from mom with the utmost of my capabilities so don"t worry mom." Hearing what I said, Mom hugged me suddenly.

"Oh my, oh my! My son"s so cute!" Seeing as she was getting to close to me, my father parted me and mom.

"Alright that"s enough Seri. Edge and I should start our swordsmans.h.i.+p lessons." My mother reluctantly let go of me and sat on the side of our garden. Speaking of which our garden was huge like everything in this place. It had enough empty s.p.a.ce that it made it look extremely excessive. While I was warming up, my father looked at me with a serious face and tried to look as imposing as possible.

"So let"s start with the origin of swordsmans.h.i.+p. Swordsmans.h.i.+p was created by humans to combat the other races or monsters that far exceeded their strengths. It was created for survival but nowadays the other races have their own swordsmans.h.i.+p styles suited for themselves but most still use the swordsmans.h.i.+p created by humans."

"There are four styles of swordsmans.h.i.+p the first and most famous one is the fire style swordsmans.h.i.+p which focuses on attack power to finish one"s opponent in one strike. This swordsmans.h.i.+p is favored by the young ones."

"Next is the wind style swordsmans.h.i.+p which focuses on extreme speed to overwhelm the opponent before he could do anything. This is pretty popular with those that don"t like getting hit."

"Next is the water style swordsmans.h.i.+p which focuses on a.n.a.lyzing the opponent to counter at the most opportune time. This swordsmans.h.i.+p is the hardest to learn and is mostly favored by those that seek elegance in swordsmans.h.i.+p."

"Last but certainly not the least is the void style swordsmans.h.i.+p which focuses on the balance of the body to be able to react to any given situation. This is a style heavily favored by those that seek the truth of the sword. This is a style that you cannot improve upon if you don"t have the talent for it."

"Though the void style doesn"t have any particular weakness it also has no particular strength. Like magic swordsmans.h.i.+p is ranked from E to S, it doesn"t have a SS or a SSS cla.s.s like magic. Your dad here uses all the styles and has reached C cla.s.s in all of them except fire style I"m B cla.s.s at that one. Impressive right?"

Really now, this father of mine really likes to be praised, I smiled at him and answered. "Super amazing, Dad you"re really amazing!" Hearing me say amazing twice made my dad look a little embarra.s.sed but you could also see that he was extremely happy.

My mother, on the other hand, looked at me from the side with another one of her longing expressions. I looked at her and smiled, "Mom is amazing too, both my parents" are the greatest!"

Mom looked at me with s.h.i.+ning eyes as she looked like she was resisting the urge to hug me. Maybe she was holding back because it"s dad"s turn to teach me. My dad did a little cough and continued.

"So first I will teach you the void style, but before that, we will train your body so that you"re capable of using sword techniques. So use that wooden sword and swing until you reach a hundred. Even if it hurts you must not stop." I looked at my father with resolute eyes and nodded.

"Yes, Dad!"
