Chapter 29: The question
"So...Did you kick his ass?" Nina muttered as we trained in the woods.
Yesterday I defeated Eris in a sword duel. She was unconscious for a couple of hours but then recovered and went to the village with Ghislaine to look for a healing magician.
For my part, I stayed in the dojo and secretly applied healing magic to him, now we decided to train here, in fact it is the first time in almost a year that we train together and alone.
Partly because Nina felt humiliated by losing to Eris, but she was comforted by my anecdote about how I defeated her.
"Yes, she attacked first but I disarmed her, and then she went for the punches but I was able to handle her and knocked her out" I said with a smile
Nina smiled the same way and continued with her swings, she is now fifteen years old and her body has developed well in the parts that should.
This includes her breasts and her ass which now really bounces when she makes swings.
"Gino... did we come to train or are you just going to look at me with lust?" She said in an annoyed tone as she buried her sword in the snow.
"Come on, you can't blame me, you are very beautiful after all," I said with a smile.
Nina blushed deeply at this and began to play with the tip of her ponytail.
"W-well if you say so...I-I guess it can't be helped...ah! I just remembered! You were also staring at that woman Ghislaine's breasts!!" Nina spat angrily.
"I-I'm sorry darling, but you can't deny that the way she dresses looks too provocative..." I murmured.
Nina frowned but nodded.
"Yes...it's true" she said and sat next to me in the snow.
Take this opportunity to hug her around the waist and steal a kiss.
We stayed like that for a few moments, just the sound of our breaths on each other as we connected our lips.
It was about 10 minutes before I decided to break the kiss, I pulled away from Nina's lips and she was breathing heavily and blushing deeply.
"I can't wait for you to turn fifteen..." She murmured as she buried her head in my chest.
This statement shocked me knowing what it meant and I couldn't help but smile.
Afterwards we spent the whole afternoon more flirting than training although I didn't feel it as a loss.
...
The next day passed like the others, I got up early, I trained with dad which now are serious duels and now I can proudly say that I put him against the ropes, But it's still noticeable that I need some time to get over him.
After this I went to the central dojo, it was approximately seven in the morning, my way there was like any other but I was surprised to see that at the entrance of this, Eris was swinging, she noticed me but just glanced at me and I could hear her tongue making a "tch" sound.
I don't know why but I just kept watching his swings, I don't know for how long it was but besides seeing the intensity with which she did it, I could see that they had flaws...
After about three minutes she buried her sword in the ground and looked at me with disdain, despite the age difference our height is almost the same so there is no need to raise or lower the sights.
Those fire-red eyes looked at me intensely and with tremendous hatred.
Anyone who sees them would tremble but I just smiled kindly, This made her blink in confusion but nothing more, she continued to look at me with disdain and finally spoke:
"What the fuck do you want?!" She said dryly.
Ok...baby steps Gino...
"Good morning" I said with a smile
"I've noticed that although your swings are fast, I can see that you have some flaws in your techniques," I said.
At this Eris raised an eyebrow as she continued to glare at me angrily.
"Oh really? And what do you know about this?" She spat and I had to swallow my sigh.
"Well, apparently more than you, in case you don't know I'm barely twelve years old and I'm already a Sword King, consider my advice as a favor from a superior" I told her calmly.
"As if I'd be interested," she said disdainfully as she turned around and continued her swings.
I could only look at her in disbelief and restrained my desire to kick her right there.
Seriously...how come some people prefer Tsunderes...
I had no choice but to enter the dojo and I could see Gull talking to Ghislaine.
Ghislaine turned quickly to look at me and she frowned slightly.
I don't know why, but my presence made him uncomfortable.
"Good morning, Lord Sword God..." I muttered as I sat down in my seat.
"Hmm? What's with the formalities, brat?" Gull said with a mocking smile as he looked at me.
"ah yeah, sorry then Gull" I replied
"Hah! That's how I like it you damn brat!" Gull said while patting me on the back.
"Oh yeah, I also want to introduce you to Ghislaine, she's the other Sword King I told you about," Gull said as he pointed to the beastwoman in front of me.
I bowed respectfully to her, after all she was a woman to admire.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Gino Britzs" I said.
"...Ghislaine Dedoldia" she said dryly.
"Heh, very well now that we know each other, what do you think of this brat's progress huh? Pretty incredible huh? When have you ever seen a child with so much potential!" Gull said with a kind of pride and mockery in his tone.
"Yes, it's still impossible to believe that someone so young is so powerful" she said while looking at me
"Indeed! If you relax too much, he can even surpass you before he becomes an adult, hahaha" Gull said with laughter.
I could see Ghislaine smiling slightly as she looked at me but my gaze couldn't help but go down to those dark breasts.
Even though I tried to hide it, Ghislaine noticed this but she just ruffled my hair and left the dojo, probably to see Eris.
The day went by well, when the other sword saints arrived, Eris entered the dojo although she sat in a corner alone, she already knew that this did not affect her at all, but I already knew that Nina had premeditated this.
...
The training day passed and I realized several things:
Eris's style, although effective due to intimidation, is inefficient against people stronger than her, her posture does not help her at all, she is too hunched over, She applies too much pressure on her right hand when wielding the handle of her sword and is always the first to attack without thinking.
Too many technical errors that are compensated for by his natural aggressiveness.
And because of all this, she is not able to make a long sword of light, she has the strength of a sword saint from her training with Ruigerd but only that, that imbalance in her body will make her unable to make a long sword of silence, I noticed all these mistakes while watching her train.
And consequently I received many angry looks from Nina but I had to clarify it to her at lunch time.
The next day was more of the same, Eris arrived in the morning, swung until she got tired, rested for a couple of minutes and continued swung until it was time to leave.
There was no progress in her technique, and that was bothering me, maybe I could help her...
With this in mind I intercepted Eris on her way back to her room in the dojo.
As soon as she noticed me, she clicked her tongue in disdain and increased her pace.
Besides this I noticed that she doesn't try to attack me, maybe that duel made it clear to her that she has no chance against me, huh?...
"Eris! I was watching you today at the dojo, you are tough but you lack technique, that's holding you back" I said as I walked beside her.
"get away from me" she said.
"Hey... I think you have a lot of potential, but if you keep going like this you'll never get ahead..." I murmured to her.
"tch..." Her tongue clicked as she unsheathed her sword but I only raised an eyebrow at her and at this she began to walk faster.
"...Didn't you say that I wanted to finish off Orsted?..." I muttered as a last option.
This was effective as she stopped dead in her tracks and stood still in her spot.
"Yes! I'm going to kill Orsted, but I won't be able to if weaklings like you stop me!" She declared angrily.
Weak?!, I could cut you right here miss and goodbye!!
"You say that but I remember perfectly that I beat you in two hits" I said in a mocking tone provoking her
This was effective because in a second she unsheathed her sword and lunged at me.
She executed a perfect longsword of silence and threw it at my rib, which I effortlessly dodged.
She seemed annoyed at this and continued to throw long swords of silence at me, I dodged each and every one and I could see that Eris was starting to get tired, with a smooth movement I disarmed her and sent her sword flying until it buried itself about twenty meters away from her.
Now come the fists...
She threw a hook at my liver but I intercepted her fist, knocked her off balance and put my knee on her neck.
She tried to struggle but it was useless.
"Look at you now Eris, you say you will defeat Orsted, but you can't defeat me, I can't defeat the Sword God, "The Sword God can't defeat Orsted, do you realize that?!" I said seriously while looking into her eyes.
She looked at me with anger but I could see the uncertainty in her eyes.
"I can help you Eris, I see that potential in you" I said with a smile
I could see how Eris stopped struggling and her look of uncertainty grew bigger.
"So, what do you say? Will you let me help you with your training tomorrow?" I said with a smile.
She hesitated for a few moments but closed her eyes and nodded.
"You better hope I don't regret doing this, okay?!" she said
"Calm down, I just want to help you, okay?" I replied as I removed my knee from his neck.
Eris slowly got up from the ground as she looked at me with doubt.
I could see that bloodlust was no longer in his eyes and he was just sizing me up now.
I could also notice the red marks on his neck from the pressure exerted.
"Oh, sorry, let me fix that" I said as I approached her and applied intermediate rank healing magic on her.
She widened her eyes at this as she looked at me.
"You... can do magic without chanting too?..." She murmured in surprise.
"Surprised? I developed it when I was a kid," I said with a smile.
Eris just raised an eyebrow and went to pick up her sword.
"See you tomorrow then" she said in a calmer tone.
I said goodbye to her and went back home, that went well, right?...
