《Sword of Demon Cless》


 Tragic Fate of the half-demon

    "Run, cless. Run" wailed by the old man letting his grandchild escape from the fate of death. His body is all covered with wounds and blood. One look in the eye is enough to see that the old man is already beyond point of saving. He will evidently die in bloodloss. Such a tragic way to die. In front of him is a child, with a raggedy look and a teary eye, trying to escape from his fate.


    "Mom, Dad, Grandpa" cried by the young child as he move on his way out towards the nearby forest. His wounded knees are bleeding a lot, yet he endured it just to save his life from being slaughtered.


    Just in the nick of time, the kid was able to runaway to the forest before the last breath of his grand father was taken.


    If not for their blood, such a tragedy won''t happen. Their blood is of a half-human half -demon, and because of it, human society had ordered a mass slaughter in their entire clan.


    Such a tragic fate in the human world.


    "Quickly search for the forest to see if any survivor has escape" yelled by one of the human around.


    Dozens of humans then checked the nearby forest for any survivor that are around.


    At that time, with a sword on his hand, the five year old kid, tried his best not to be found out. Yet he failed to do so.


    He is caught hiding in a nearby tree, crying out for help.


    "Help." Cried by the five year old kid.


    "Silly child, child of the demon, come here" claimed by one of the humans that are around.


    "No, please spare my life" claimed by the little kid while trying to move his bleeding feet away from his position. He tried to do so, but he cannot. It was as if, he was left stuck, standing pitifuly waiting for the human to end his life.


    "Why would I spare a demons life?" answered by the human.


    In that moment, a sword strike coming from the humans hand appear in front of the five year old kid.


    It was a swift sword strike enough to kill a mere child in a second. The human laughed loudly trying to proclaim his victory for killing the demon. Unknown to him, a clean counter sword strike came out slashing his flesh instead. This strike came out coming from the young kids sword.


    " Sorry" claimed by the young kid as he swing his sword on the currently kneeling human cutting the head off. In just a swift moment, the five year old kid, beheaded an adult adventurer with his sword.


    That moment, right after he killed the human, he then retreated far away from his current position trying to escape from his fate.


    Not far from him, another human witnessed the death of his fellow companion, so without hesitation he too tried to attack the five year old kid.


    Gasping out of breath, the kids wounded knee gave out. Making him able to dodge the sword strike from the humans hand.


    Sensing his death the kid then rolled out to the ground and prepared to counter the humans attack. In just a nick of time, another sword strike is about to hit him. The five year old kid gave out another counter strike on the humans hand. Blood spurted out as the separated clean cutted hand of the human fall down.


    "My hand"cried out by the human as his bloody sword fall down.

    In just a split second, the five year old kid then gave out another sword slash towards the crying human, after that, head falls down and the human died.


    Seeing his chance, the five year old kid then escaped. Yet to his surprise, ten other adventurers pursue him. He doesn''t have any other choice but to go deeper to the forest.


    Yet what can a kid could do. In return he was surrounded by them.


    "You don''t have any other way out kid demon" claimed by one of the ten adventurer.


    Their bloodlust surge up scaring the little demon alone.


    Two adventurers then gave out a sword strike to the little demon. The little demon tried to reflect it using his sword. Yet he was sent back by the tremendous force of the sword slash. Another sword strike aims to hit him in the back, as swift as he could, he defended himself from it. Yet once again he was sent back. He was like a ping-pong ball surrounded by the players being hitted back and forth.


    Yet he persists. The only thing he could do is endure the pain and find an opportunity. In the end he is just too powerless against 10 strong adventurers.


    Bit by bit, wounds are getting marked in his little body. One by one, Wounds are appearing in his arms and legs. He could only grit his teeth and grip his sword tightly enduring the pain, trying to defend himself from an ambush attack.


    "Come on little demon, show us how strong you are" yelled by one of the adventurer mocking the little demon with his best.


    Apparently, the little kid gradually started to loose his consciousness due to severe bloodloss. Keeping them busy is already enough for his little body to endure. Yet he persisted.


    At that moment, caught off guard, one of the ten adventurer loss his defensive posture, giving out an opportunity for the little kid.


    The little kid then jump out midair giving out one sword strike to the open adventurer, in just a moment, the adventurer was sliced perfectly into two. Blood spurted out of its dead body as it fall down into the ground. The scene made the other nine adventurer to be shocked, and for a moment, they too loosen their guard. The gaze of the currently bloody little demon then landed on the other adventurers neck and while midair the little demon gave out two sword slashes towards them.


    In an instant, three of the ten adventurer were killed. Such a massive force coming from a five year old demon kid.


    Later the remaining adventurer realized their mistake, so they too take the kid seriously and started attacking him with their skills. Yet the kid is on rampage at that time. The moment he landed on the ground. He immediately charge to the nearby adventurer, stabbing his sword in the humans heart. Blood spurted out of the kids sword. The kid then took it out letting the currently killed adventurer fall dead.


    A sword slash runs towards the five year old kid aimed to shattered him into pieces. Yet he dodges it and as swift as the wind, he charged towards the nearby adventurer killing it instantly with another sword stab into the heart.


    Seeing the madness around them, three adventurer started to retreat yet their feet failed to do so. Two adventurers gathered their courage to kill the kid. Yet the little kid is unstoppable. With a sword in his hands he immediately beheaded the two adventurers like a whirlwind. Blood spurted out and two heads flew out of the adventurers body.


    Blood spills into the kids body as he kills while killed adventurer fall down into the ground.


    Seeing that the remaining two were killed easily by the kid, the three gathered their might to run.


    "RUN" shouted by the remaining adventurer.


    Their foot moved right away as soon as the shout reverberated around them.


    But it''s too late, infront of them was a bloody figure of a kid monster weilding a bloody sword.


    "You kill my family, and you also aims to kill me?, Unforgivable" shouted by the demon kid as he charged to the remaining adventurer. His roar rung out in the middle of the forest like a wild beast devouring his prey.


    Sword strikes filled with blood flew out of the kid sword as it welcomes the three adventurer to their death.


    Sfx: Splashes.


    In that moment, three adventurer fall down to the ground, breathless.


    Silence covered the whole forest as blood were spilled on it''s grassy land.


    In that moment, a single kid demon killed a dozen of adventurer with a bloody sword mercilessly. Out of his energy and stamina from the fight, finally, the five year old kid escaped slowly on both his feet safely. His destination, is to go deeper into the woods, where in no other human could find him.


    "Father , mother, I''m safe now" claimed by tired little kid as he go deeper to the vast forest around him.


    Little later that time, the human society of the world have successfully claimed that they have killed the last blood of the humans with a demon bloods. They too claimed that finally the reign of human is up.


    Unknown to them, a sole survivor was able to escape.


    This sole survivor is none other than ,cless klouster. A half-human half -demon blood.

 Cless, the Half-demon Half Human

    " 9991,..9992..9993" counted by the young man who is striking his sword in the air. Practicing his kendo, giving out a forceful strike. Sweat in the forehead were already drenching him like a  pouring rain. Wet, the young man is already drenched with lots of sweat, yet he still continue on practicing his kendo attentively. His sword slashes could be clearly heard, tearing out a thin portion of air around him.


    He is clearly exerting lot of force in each of his strikes. "9998..9999..10000" the young man then stopped striking his sword after reaching ten thousands of strike. He then watched the sky above him were the great ball of sun lies, basking his whole surrounding with heat and light.


    "That makes it a million strikes" claimed by the young man as he went inside his house. He then keep his sword inside his house and started


    regulating his composure thru meditating. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and started meditating.


    In his consciousness, he could clearly envision himself striking forcefully his sword in the air. In his consciousness, he could clearly see his


    sword tearing out a thin portion of air particles around it, creating loud screeching sound, giving out a massive sword slash. Each of his strikes were like the wings of an eagle, wooshing in the air. He continued self-meditating for an hour, trying to figure out the flaws of his kendo, and after figuring it out, he then opened his eyes and stood up.


    "it needs to be fast, it should be fast and should be filled with force." claimed by the young man. He pondered for it for awhile, and after it he picked up his sword once more and started practicing his kendo again.


    This time, the young man started striking in the air with his full force once more.


    "1 strike..2 strikes..3 strikes.." claimed by the young man as he strike his sword in the air.


    This young man is none other than, klouster cless. A young swordsman, in the making in the world called earth. A world where in bloodshed is an unavoidable cycle of life. A world where in strength is the key of survival. A world where in the lives of the people rely on hunting and killing monsters, beasts and demons. This young man in his young age have witnessed the annihilation of his clan, and his family. They were a half human half demon clan hiding themselves from the eyes of human society. Yet situation happened and they were find out.


    The hatred of the humankind towards the demons wins. In the end, their clan was left dead in the history of human kin, leaving him all alone as a sole survivor.


    In his young age of five, he started wielding his sword trying to protect himself from the hands of human adventurers .Though human blood remains dormant in him, still in the age of five, he secluded himself from the human society who treated them as a real demon, trying to hide himself from their gasp. Due to that, in such young age, the young man learned how to defend himself killing humans and beasts using his sword. It cannot be helped, he is in a world where in humans cannot live together with monsters like him.

    In his age of 10, after five years of living all by himself in the vast forest, luckily a monk took him out of seclusion and through him, the young man was able to regain his life as a human. For 5 years of hiding himself in the eyes of any human, there is one thing that he wanted in his life, he wants to become a world re known swordsman, capable of changing his fate and the world with his sword.


    "I am a half-demon half-human, though my physique is in human form, yet my blood is mixed of a demon" claimed by the young man as he strike his sword in the air.


    "Are you still practicing your kendo, cless kun" claimed by the old monk who have just arrived.


    "Yes uncle, im now up with another ten thousand strike" claimed by cless while he keeps on striking his sword in the air.


    "Thats great, another ten thousands of strike, I am guessing that you might finish it as soon as the sun settle down."


    "Probably, or i might finish it in the evening."


    "Then let me do the house chore for you cless kun." claimed by the old monk.


    "Thanks uncle."


    "By the way, i have a problem dealing with the nearby beast beneath the mountain. Will you try to talk to them and not bother our little garden.


    "Ill try, uncle, if its unstoppable then ill just kill them" claimed by cless as he continued practicing his kendo.


    That time, the old man stopped for awhile and look back to where cless is standing.


    "Before i forgot, i also enrolled you in the nearby kingdoms academy. They are accepting atleast 15 years of age student, and must be able to fight. Seeing how capable you are, i did not hesitated a bit and enrolled you to them. That way, not only you will be training your swordsmanship, you will also be able to train your social skills with the humans." Claimed by the old monk.


    As soon as the old monk mentioned the academy, klouster cless went nuts. He is a half-human half-demon. If he would be found out, who knows what will happen to them. The situation send cless into a difficult situation, so he hesitated about it and stopped practicing his kendo. He then talked to the old monk to state his side.


    "Uncle, you shouldnt have done that. Im perfectly fine living my life now, im afraid of humans too. Who knows what will they do to me when they find out." claimed by cless


    "Im old enough, any time soon i will part this world. Its better this way, besides, look at you, you are in a perfect human form. No one will figure out that your a half-human half-demon in ones naked eyes. Besides, not all of the humans are bad cless kun"


    "But uncle, not all of the humans are like you. Im afraid, if they found out that Im of a demon blood, they would kill you" resisted by cless.


    "Do not worry about me cless kun, worry about yourself. And dont you think it is better like that, than not trying cless kun, and beside, your name is already registered in the nearby kingdoms academy, all you need to do, is to show up and attend their classes and try to mingle with any human as much as you can" The old man then leave cless alone in while being basked by the mid day sun.


    "A half-demon trying to become a part of the human society." said by cless as he look up above him.


    With his sword, the half-human half-demon young one started practicing his kendo once more. Each of his strikes are filled with force. As if it was tearing the air itself. Little by little, bit by bit, his swordsmanship is getting better and better.


    This is our main character, klouster cless, in the world where in all of the population is of an adventurer. Will the world accept him of who he is, or will it deny his existence. This is The sword of Demon Cless.

 Sparring with the Demon and Beast

    Later that night, right after eating their dinner, cless the half demon went on a trip beneath the mountain. The monks temple where his house is located is at the top of the mountain, and since his uncle asked him to go beneath the mountain, cless did it with out further ado. He then went out to the nearby cliff and jumped off thru it. It was a great height for any normal human, yet for cless its just a barely bearable jump.


    On his fall, several meters away from him, cless saw his uncles garden. He then checked it and there he saw several monsters trying to eat his uncles crops. Several moment later after the fall, cless finally reached the foot of the mountain. He then went into the dark shadows of the woods where in their garden is located. It was a hidden garden created by his uncle, the monk. His uncle loves to farm, so he always make it sure that it should be taken with a good care.  Seeing his uncles crop being wasted by the beast, cless immediately run towards them.


    The beasts noticed the upcoming presence of a human so they then gathered together waiting for the human to reveal himself. However at that time, one of the beasts then went straight towards cless aiming for his head. It was their leader, the leader of the group of beast. Witnessing the action of that one beast, cless draw out his sword.


    The massive fist of the beast then landed on cless blade, and the attack on both party clashed. At that moment, the beast noticed something strange on the humans smell.


    "You are a demon?" asked by the beast surprisingly when their attack collide.


    "How can you tell?" asked by cless in response.


    The two of them then retracted with each other several meters away from their clash.


    "You smell like them, though it is hidden, it reeks with the demon blood" claimed by the beast.


    Cless then started to smell his armpits and his whole body, yet he could not smell the blood of the demon around him.


    "Why are you here? What business do you have with us, half -demon?" asked by the head of the beast.


    Seeing himself being asked by the beast himself, cless regained his composure and started answering the beast.


    "You and your group are ruining my garden. I came here to warn you of the consequences. Its either you back out, or you die" claimed by cless as he pointed his sword towards the beast in front of him.


    The beast was aggravated by cless action, specially when he pointed out the sword towards him. So at that time, without any other answer, the beast went straight charging towards cless.


    Seeing the beast charging towards him, cless prepared himself from the upcoming attack. A moment after that, one big punch landed on cless side. This punch is coming from the beast. Cless in return shielded himself with his sword blade.

    At that moment,a group of beast behind the two of them, can be clearly heard cheering towards their leader. This makes the leader of the beast be filled with strength at that moment one loud explosion resounded around the forest. It was the sound of a strong punch landing towards a solid object, it turns out to be cless sword.


    The force of the punch is very heavy at that time, that it makes cless to be send far away from his current standing position. Seeing cless, perfectly fine, the beast once again charged towards his opponent.  In an instant the beast appears in front of cless, giving him a barrage of strong powerful punches. Each of the punches of the beast were almost aimed to kill him. In response to such attack, cless on the other hand were constantly deflecting each of its punches using his sword.


    The two of them then retracted from  their clash while the group of beasts cheering went wild.


    "Quite Strong for a half-demon" claimed by the beast.


    The two of them then clashed once more, sending out different form of attacks . A punch on the side came up, but it was shielded by cless using his sword, then another punch appear in front of cless face. With his blade he once again defended himself from it. Another strong kick attack appear on cless side and he once again cless himself defended it.


    Using his speed, cless is barely managing himself from such a barrage of punches and kicks. He is just waiting for a perfect chance to unleash a perfect sword strike towards his opponent. Until finally, in a brief moment, the beast lowered down his guard.


    sfx: Splash


    A sound of a blade, piercing a thick muscled skin resounded around the two duelers. The sound is clearly coming out from the beasts side.


    The group of beast behind their leader were all left in silence.


    The beast leader on the other hand, cannot imagine that a mere blade would be able to penetrate his thick skin. Unable to picture out the situation, the beast remained standing on a deep thought. At that moment, a strong fist punch landed on the beasts head. It digs deeper and deeper until such time that the face of the beast were deformed. Moment after that, the beast flew out in very fast speed.


    sfx: Crushed


    Trees that were hit by the flying beast were splintered into pieces, falling down into the ground. Such a destructive punch coming from cless. The group of beasts then gathered to their boss, helping him out from being knocked down. At that moment, the beasts then realized that they are not a match to the half-demon.  The beast leader then tried standing up by himself, trying to reclaim his honor.


    He then looked unto the garden, and realized that it is not worth dying for. It then walk towards cless trying to give a message.


    "So this is your garden, then in behalf of my groups action, i would like to apologize, and assure you that we will no longer bother this garden anymore" the beast then gave out a hand signal to his fellow beasts behind him, and as soon as they saw his signal, the group of beast then dispersed out of cless garden.


    Seeing the beast moving out of his garden, cless retracted his sword and turned back. The head of the beasts then move out as well, and the forest were once again basked in silence.


    Cless then went back to his house on the top of the mountain to take his rest. It took him couple of hours thru walk above the vertical steep steps road until he reach the peak of the mountain by himself. It was already midnight when cless went to rest. The night that time is under a great dark blue clear skies filled with dazzling stars and the luminating moon. It was a beautiful night above the great mountain where cless lives.

 Gravitational Sword of the Half-Demon

    <div>


    The following day, cless started his early morning training. He is currently doing a vertical push ups while his uncle is around watching him.


    "So, cless, have you decided to embrace your new upcoming life as a human student?" asked by the monk towards the currently training cless.


    "Like you have given me a choice uncle." claimed by cless.


    "You know, its just a matter of time and a little bit courage young one. Once you get used to it, then you will be able to adopt to them without them noticing that you have demon blood" claimed by the monk.


    "Ill try uncle, when was it again?" asked by cless.


    "It will be on the following week, dont worry, ill escort you to the academy myself, that way you will not met any trouble" reassured by the monk to cless.


    "Speaking of academy, I have heard that, there will be lot of competitions inside. With competition, then there will be prizes. So I am hoping that you will do your best inside." insisted by the monk.


    "It cant be helped, then uncle, i have one request for you before I go to the academy" claimed by quest


    "What is it?"


    Cless then pointed his finger towards the sword inside the temple.


    "Let me have that gravitational sword from now on. " claimed by cless with a serious tone.


    "Seriously, that sword." claimed by the monk.


    The sword that cless wanted to obtain is called gravitational sword. With ones will, user could adjust the weight of the sword according to his desire. The user could also adjust the gravitational field of the area once the sword is mastered. Even the monk himself hesitated when cless asked for it. However, since cless desired to use it, the monk did not have a choice. The monk then gave out loud sigh, thinking that it was a treasure type of sword.


    The monk then went inside the temple and took out the sword. He then gave it to cless as a gift. Cless then stopped doing push ups and instead started practicing his kendo using the sword. Seeing cless being happy upon receiving the sword, the monk cant help himself but be glad.


    At that moment, cless started striking the sword in the air. It was now several times heavier compared to his original sword. Yet due to his demon blood, for some reason, cless is able to wield the gravitational sword. Despite of it, with just a few strike, cless could already feel that his whole body is burning. It only means that his blood circulation is rapidly moving faster compared to any other normal blood circulation. Heavy wooshing of air, are constantly resounding, everytime cless strikes his sword in the air. It only proves that the sword itself is already heavy.

    "Then ill be leaving you for now, cless kun. I have some other things to do, ill be back right before the sun settle down" claimed by the monk.


    "No worries uncle, leave the temple to me" insisted by cless while he strike his gravitational sword in the air"


    It was a great day in the temple above the mountain. The heat of the sun is giving cless yang energy penetrating his bones cleansing out his body. Anyone could say that cless himself is doing a vigorous training under the heat of the sun. One could clearly see his determination in mastering his swordsmanship to its peak. His concentration towards his kendo is other worldly.


    Meanwhile, not far from the mountain where cless and the monk reside, there lies a great kingdom for the human kin. A kingdom filled with human adventurers and warriors. For hundreds and hundreds of years, the said kingdom withstood the passage of time, protecting the bloodline of mankind. Several, wars and catastrophy has already befallen to the kingdom, yet, it stood still, remaining strong. This the kingdom of Cedrilia, One of the human kingdom of the world. In the world where in Cless lives, there exist a 4 kingdoms for mankind, The kingdom of Cedrilia which is where he is currently in. The kingdom of Almond in the Northern part of the world continent. The kingdom of Res Mundos in East, and the Kingdom of Salamandra in the West. Each of these kingdoms lies in the borders of the giant continent of the world called, Eurasia.


    The place where cless is currently located is the south of the continent eurasia. When it comes to the boundary itself, the kingdom of Cedrilia is one of the smallest, which is the reason why for several hundred of years, the humanity inside the kingdom itself had a hard time expanding their territories to the continent. For some reasons, due to his fate, soon, cless will start his new life as an adventurer student inside the kingdom of cedrilia.


    "301 strikes.. 302 strikes" claimed by cless while exerting his full force to the sword itself.


    His life as a student will start a week from now. Will he be able to start his new life as human inside the kingdom of cedrilia or not? Will he be exposed once more and be captured to death or not. It all depends on him, however there is only one thing for sure. His life as a student is now coming.


    Several hour that time, cless finally stopped his kendo training for awhile.


    "998..999..1000" Claimed by cless as he stopped striking his gravitational sword.


    He stopped right after having thousand slashes. A difficult task to be made, for a sword training. The weight of the sword will eventually slowly consume all of the stamina that you have, until you would lost it. Not only that, the heat of the mid day sun is also another factor that may affect ones kendo training. Another thing is that, Compared to his normal sword, his gravitational sword is probably hundred times heavier. With such a difficult task, still, cless was able to make thousand of sword slashes on his own, a feat that only above average human could have had.


    He then adjusted his sword and return it to its normal weight. Right after that cless once again started to do vertical push ups while moving around the temple. You are probably wondering why he is doing such a difficult task at once. Kendo practice and Body Exercise at one training is a must in perfecting ones swordsmanship. This is because ones physique is also important in the life of being a swordsman.


    It was his dream afterall, to become a world re known swordsman.


    After several hours, cless is finally drenched in sweat, then he stopped his training and took a long break. He then leisurely sleep inside his house waiting for his uncle to be back. It was a great day for cless, and so he was able to enjoy the rest of his day sleeping inside his house while being basked by the great ray of the afternoon sun.


    <div>

 A night in the vast forest of Half-Demon

    Later that night, cless and his uncle had a deep talk with regards to his upcoming new life. It seems like, cless will have to live inside the kingdom while studying. This situation made cless uncomfortable, and because of it, the talk got so long.


    "Uncle, why should i have to live inside that kingdom? You already know my past, I''ve suffer so much because of them, and now I will be once again living unto such malicious kingdom?" Rattled by cless towards his uncle. His words are somehow worried and his hands are fidgety while explaining things towards his uncle.


    His uncle noticed his actions and somehow realized that cless is having a hard time. In response to the young man, the old monk then insisted that he should still try.


    "It will be very difficult for you at first, but I believe once time passes, you will get used to it." claimed by old monk.


    The monk then stood up and took a picture book out on the nearby drawer. He then pointed some of his pictures towards the young man and explained that even him as a monk did become a student once.


    "See this picture, this is a picture of me and my friends when I was young like you" claimed by the monk as he highlighted the crowded picture of him and his friends when he was young.


    "At the very least, try to make some friends as much as you can. Build memories together that you will bring when you get old." added by the monk.


    "But uncle, you know my situation right? I am a half-demon, if they will find out" insisted by cless but just as he was trying to explain more, he was stopped by the monk himself.


    "Enough, thats a terrible excuse, You are just denying the fact that you are also a human" claimed by the monk.


    Unable to defend himself, cless was left in silence.


    "Go out for awhile and get some fresh air, maybe it will help you for awhile" commanded by the old monk to cless.


    Without further ado, cless then stood up. He took the gravitational sword with him and he move out of their residential house.


    "That old man could be a pain in the ass sometimes" claimed by cless silently while walking towards the nearby cliff.


    Right at that moment, cless then jump off the cliff, freely falling on the great height of the mountain and feeling the cold breeze of the night.

    Little while later, he then landed from the free fall. Then he walk towards the dark shadow of the woods with his gravitational sword. He then checked the nearby garden to see any monsters around, only to see that no one is on it. He then remembered the beast which he fought last night, and visualize its movement.


    "Such a fast and powerful punches would easily tear out a human flesh" claimed by cless as he pondered about it.


    Not far from his current position was a river stream. The great moon of the night was reflected on the clear water river flow of the river stream. Cless with his own foot then went on the nearby stream to get a drink. As soon as the water touches his mouth, cless could feel the cold sensation coming from the water and the taste of the water is one of the purest water that he had ever tasted in his entire life. As it slowly goes down inside his body, he could clearly feel the refreshing sensation flowing through inside him.


    "Such a great water" claimed by cless while gulping the fresh water from the river stream.


    He then went for more drinks and cless was refreshed because of it. Thanks to the water from the river stream. He then sat on the grassy surface of the ground besides the river stream trying to feel comfortable by himself, while watching the dark deep color of the sky above him which are filled with shiny white light coming from the stars of the vast night sky. Together with the million of stars above them was the magnificent view of the moon shining its ray of light to all of the things around him, giving colors to the cold dark night.


    "Sometimes being calm by itself is the answer to ones problem." claimed by cless.


    Right after that, spending his time watching the stars above him, he then stoodup and bid his farewell to the river stream.


    As he walk through the trail of the forest, cless then was welcomed by the clumps of bushes around him. Dark wood trunks of the trees that are almost invisible to the naked eyes have welcomed him too. The cold wind breeze slipping through the leaves of the trees around him can be clearly heard together with the howl of wolves that to his estimated guess, was not far from him also welcomes him. But since cless has become accustomed to it ever since he was a kid, he is not bathed with fear.


    He continued walking in the vast forest until he reach its edge. There he saw another cliff. In front of the cliff, the image of great kingdom of cedar under the moonlit of the night appears in front of his naked eyes. Cless cannot help himself but remember his past.


    The moment he saw the kingdom itself, a strange clot of pain appear inside him. It was an unbearable pain to begin with, yet when he think more of his uncle, the man who have saved him from his misery, cless tried to bear with it.


    "Perhaps, it is now time to start moving on. Lets try to forget the past, just this once, for the old mans sake, and for my dreams sake" claimed by cless.


    He then turn back and started to move his feet back to the dark shadowy forest. With his gravitational sword, he then leisurely started swinging it in the air, trying to practice his kendo while moving around. He then moved back his feet back to the nearby stream and started practicing his kendo even more. It was already late in the night when cless finished having five hundred strikes. After that, cless then went back up to the peak of the mountain where his residence is located. He is guessing that by this time, his uncle is probably sleeping. It took him couple of hours when he reached the peak of the mountain. He then went inside the residence and enjoyed the rest of his night. A few moments later, finally cless went to sleep.

 Half-Demon under human society

    The next day, it was early morning when cless woke up. Cless then went out of their residential house and begun practicing with his gravitational sword. This time, he once again increased the weight of the sword, ten times heavier from the previous days. The moment that the sword was adjusted to his desired weight, cless could clearly feel that his muscles are being stretched. He then tried to slash it with force, and with one strike, a sword slash flew out of cless sword. It screeches and screeches like it is tearing out the air by itself while flying out on a straight path towards the mountain cliff.


    Cless gave out another sword strike, and he created another sword slash. At that moment, his uncle saw his sword slash as it flew out towards the mountain cliff. He cant help but be amaze of cless achievement in a short period of time. At that moment, a round of applause then resounded around the temple. It was his uncle clapping his hands, glad of his success.


    "You successfully gasp the will of the sword, cless kun. I congratulate you for your success" claimed by the monk.


    "Thanks uncle"claimed by cless.


    "Mind giving me the sword for awhile?" asked by the monk.


    Cless then gave the gravitational sword to the monk. Right after that, the monk get himself in a unique sword stance, he then draws the gravitational sword. In a split second, a massive sword slash several larger compared to cless sword slash, flew out of the edge of the sword howling like an eagle tearing out the tiny air particles around it. Cless could not believe what he sees as his gaze followed the massive sword slash made by his uncle. After that, the monk then started to talk.


    "Its been awhile since I hold a sword, im probably getting dull because of the old age." claimed by the monk.


    He then sees the reaction of cless from his sword slash and cant help himself but laugh. Then he give the gravitational sword back to cless who was startled to death.


    "Continue practicing the sword and sooner or later, you will accomplish such feat." claimed by the monk, in response, cless nodded towards his uncle and started practicing his kendo on another height.


    This time, cless practiced his sword under the atmosphere of an unbearable weight.


    "1 strike . . .2 strike . . ." shouted by cless while exerting his full force on the sword.


    It was once again a hot sunny day outside of the temple. Cless ,with his gravitational sword, continued practicing his kendo day and night. Thanks to the guidance of the old monk, cless desire to achieve such feat gives him a great motivation in practicing his kendo. Despite of the unbearable weight of the sword, cless persisted and continued on training. There are times too where in the two of them would spar. Together they would duel with the sword and train. Time passes by so fast, and after a week.


    "...999999, ...1000000" shouted by cless as he give out his million strike. Covered with sweat, cless sits down on the floor while adjusting the sword to its normal weight. He then look up to the sky above him. There he witnessed the clear blue sky of the late morning sun.


    "Get yourself ready cless, its now time to move our feet to the kingdom of cedar" claimed by the monk.


    So cless stood up and went inside their house, and in an hour, the two of them then departed the temple and started to walk with their feet. It took them four hours when they reached the kingdoms gate. Before that, they have to pass the vast forest of the nearby temple, they had to climb down the cliff and pass another vast forest which is near to the kingdom itself. It was a long safe journey for the two of them, and after four hours of travelling by foot, they successfully reach the kingdoms gate.


    Two guards then welcomed them up. The two guards then noticed the old mans attire and concluded that the old man is a monk, so by that time one guard started to talk.


    "Welcome, dear monk, may I know what business do you have in the kingdom today?" asked by one of the kingdoms gate guard.


    "We are here for the academies enrollment, my disciple here beside me will be partaking the enrollment" claimed by the monk.


    "Is this your first time visiting the kingdom, dear guest?" asked by the other guard.


    "No, I''ve been in and out of the kingdom for some times now" answered by the monk to the guards.


    "Then by all means, please welcome to the kingdom" claimed by the other guard.


    The monk and cless then move their feet inside the kingdom of cedar. Just as they entered the kingdoms gate, the two of them were welcomed by the half a hundred of adventurers around them. They continued walking inside and on their way, they saw dozens of adventurers dueling with each other, showing off their skills.


    "Such a lively kingdom." claimed by the monk.


    "Uncle, they did not noticed right?" whispered by cless towards his uncle.


    "Do not worry, no one would noticed you as a half-demon, trust me" claimed by the monk.


    The old man then escorted cless towards the kingdoms academy. They have to walk hundreds and hundreds of foot steps passing several streets inside the kingdom of Cedar. On their way, they met bunch of kids playing around the area where they are in. The old man then asked where the academy is located. The kids then kindly pointed it with their fingers stating that the academy should be in that location. Then the two of them followed the direction that the kid pointed to until such time that they saw a massive line of people. The line is consisted of father, mother, sons and daughters. The monk then concluded that all of this people are probably here to enroll their sons and daughter to the kingdoms academy which is just right in front of them. It was a huge building made up of pillars of boulders and stone fit enough to be claim as an academy. They then followed the long line of people waiting for their turn to move in. Several hours later and another group of people lined up behind them.


    "So this is just an enrollment right uncle?" asked by cless to his uncle

    His uncle nodded in return towards cless. After long hours of waiting from the massive long line, the two of them finally entered the kingdoms academy. The two of them were welcomed by the academies instructors.


    "Please get inside" claimed by one of the instructor while pointing out the way to them.


    "Thank you" claimed by the old monk.


    Several hours later, the last bunch of crowd have finally entered the kingdoms academy. It was a massive gathering of crowd of parents and enrollees. At that moment, a loud voice reverberated around the crowd of people.

    At that moment, an old man wearing a cape floated up mid air in front of the crowd.


    "I the dean of the kingdom welcome you all" claimed by the flying old man.


    He then clapped his hands and in an instant, four magic circles floated up above him. It seems to be that this old man is a wizard.

The one in front of them then Unleashes his sword skill, and above him, a huge aura of sword appear. The crowd of people were amazed of such skill, they then clapped their hands because of the skill that they have witnessed.

One has a ball of elements flying around her, the one next to her has a magical circle above his head, and the other one has a magic book floating around him. The one in front of them then pointed her stick above her, and there appears four pillars of magic circle towering above the skies.


    Once more, when they saw the skill of the woman, everyone were amazed.


    "I am the young leader of the wizards institution, to all of the aspiring mages and wizards among you. I welcome you all."


    Another round of applause from the crowd of parents and enrollee resounded. They are all amused of the leaders skills.


    That moment, another young warrior moved in front of the crowd. This time, is another female warrior wielding a massive bow and arrow in her hands moved in front.

    "In behalf of the hunters institution, I the young leader of the group welcome you all"


    Round of applaus from the crowds once again resounded.


    Another young warrior moved in front of the crowd, he wields nothing but himself. At that moment, aura covered his whole body and the ground started to tremble. Behind him were two other warriors, one warrior has an aura on both of his hands while the other warrior has an aura on both of his feet. The one in front of the two then started to talk.


    "In behalf of martial artist institution, I their leader welcomes the lot of you " claimed by the young man and right after that, the trembling of the ground around them stopped.


    The flying old man, after hovering in the air for quite sometime, then landed on the ground, and with another clap, pillar of whirlpool of water covered the pillar of fire. He then retracted his magic circles and started to talk once more.


    "These four institution have all pledge to defend the kingdom of cedars at all times. Backed by the might of the Kingdoms armies, together, for several hundreds of years we have defended the kingdom at all times".


    The old man then went forward to the crowd and continued his speech.

Once again, I thank you all for choosing our academy, welcome and good luck" claimed by the old man.


    At that moment, the old man started to walk away from the crowd. The four leaders of the institution then started their test, holding the hands of every enrollees on the crowd . They are all checking the build of every enrollee that are around, checking their pulse, their bones, and their physique. During that time, bit by bit, the crowd of people are being divided into four lanes. Once they make sure that their sons and daughters were accepted, most of the parents bid their farewells to their kids and give their regards to the instructors around them. Bit by bit, the crowd are gradually dispersing.


    After a long time of waiting, finally, it was cless turn. Four leaders of the institution then checked cless physique. Cless on the other hand is nervous at that time. Still he composed himself, thinking that he is a human too. The four leaders then checked the hands of cless. Each of them nodded at the same time.


    "You are welcome in the swords knight institution" claimed by the leader of the sword knight.


    The moment he said that, his uncle went very happy. Cless too, was happy of the result and his worries finally vanished in return.


    "They did not notice that im a half-demon. Perhaps uncle is right" claimed by cless to his heart.


    At that moment, two other leaders also nodded in return and together they also welcomed cless on their institution.


    "You are also welcome to choose the hunters institution as your job description" claimed by the hunters leader.


    "I also welcome you if you choose the martial artist institution" claimed by the martial artist leader.


    At that moment, the crowd around him shifted their gaze towards the shabby looking browned hair guy cless. No one expected such result. To think that three leaders welcomed him at that time.


    Then right after that, one of the remaining leader checked cless hands one more time. It was the leader of the wizard institution.


    She then started to talk and wondered of cless physique.


    "Strange, but you also possess a strange clot pulse. This pulse, is rare" claimed by the wizard leader.


    Right after that, cless heart beat skip a bit.


    "Perhaps, she noticed that i am a half-demon" claimed by the now troubled cless.


    The female leader then pondered for it for awhile and eventually she finally recognizes the pulse.


    "You have it, im sure of it, if you want to learn about how magic works, you are also welcome to the wizard institution" claimed by the female leader.


    At that moment, the whole crowd went even nuts. Not only three, but all four pillars of classes have welcomed the young one inside their institution. Then one question arises into their mind.


    "Who is that guy?" asked by one of the enrollees behind cless.


    Not far from them, an old man is currently watching the class selections of the new enrolee.


    "This guy is interesting" claimed by the old man.


    This man is none other than the dean of the academy.

    "Rest assure uncle"


    Cless and the monk then parted their ways that time. Though cless is a little bit nervous, he still composed himself trying to fix himself keeping in mind that he is a human. Little later, the last group of student was successfully distributed in the four institution. Each of the four leaders then escorted everyone to their respected hall to have them be toured inside the cedars academy.

Right now, he is moving his feet towards the sword knight hall, which is located on the left edge of the pentagon shaped academy.


    On their way, the group of swordie students had their foot passed by on man made forest. Though it is man made, still the feels of it is exactly the same to the forest out of the kingdom. On their way too, they too, had to crossed on a wide riverstream on foot, making there legs be wet. Luckily their walk is still from being half, so on their way their wet body eventually dried up. After walking for several moments, finally they reached the main hall of the sword knight hall. It was exactly comparable to an entire modernized village, there are huge buildings around them.


    "Welcome to the Sword Knight Hall, this is our main vicinity" claimed by their leader which is infront of them.

 Initiation of the new sword student, including the half-demon himself

    Hundreds of new student then unleashed their swords at once, trying to protect their ownself from their mentors. One of the student is cless. At that moment, one mentor wielding two blades unleashed his sword skill. Like a ninja in the myst, the mentor vanished in his current position. What comes next was a fast cuts coming from the students body, sending them down unconsious, luckily it only shredded their clothes. Dozen of the students then were knocked out by the mentor himself.


    Right after that, the mentor holding a huge sword give his sword strike. His sword strike then hitted the ground in front of him, and right after that, a strong turbulence of whirlwind flew out out of his sword. The group of student including cless did tried to hold their ground from the massive strike of whirlwind. Luckily, cless adjusted his gravitational blade making him be stucked into the ground.


    The rest of the student were sent out flying mid air while cless remained into the ground. The sword mentor then noticed cless, at that moment, he then give out another strong sword strike. This time, a huge sword slash flew out, out of the swords tip. This attack is similar to the attack which cless is mastering for quite sometime, and when he noticed the sword slash, cless then moved out his feet out from his current position. He already knows that the sword slash will only travel in a straight path, does. he then moved swiftly dodging it with ease.


    Meanwhile, at that moment, another sword mentor wielding a shield and a sword send out his sword skill to the crowd of novice swordsman around him. His skill was quite tricky and like a magic itself. He stuck his sword unto the ground and right after that it disappear. Moments later, one by one, each of the student started to be sliced in an unknown kind of reason. Bit by bit, each of them were falling into the ground.


    Unable to figure out the reason of such event, the rest of remaining student went nuts. In just a short moment, almost half of them were knocked down lying unconscious, while some of them are terrified. Left in silence, the remaining student, remained petrified.


    However luck is still on their side, for that time, some of the student are courageous enough to face the sad truth that theyre still weak, and some of them gathered their courage and strength, and charged directly to their instructors with their swords.


    "CHARGE!!" shouted by one of the student as he charged to the nearby mentor.


    His words reverberated around them and the moment they hear him, all of their worries and fears vanished. They then gathered their courage to move their feet and swords and charged straightly towards the strong sword mentors.


    "Good Spirit'' claimed by the mentor who wields two swords. In that moment, the mentor started wielding his dual swordsmanship to the upcoming raged students. Bit by bit, he deflected each of their sword attack with his sword, while giving them a counter slashes at the same time.

    "Truely build for a job of a swordsman" claimed by the mentor who wields a huge blade. He then pivoted his foot and started rotating like a hurricane while wielding his giant sword. Several novice who have met his sword were sent flyin out of the battle area.


    Meanwhile, the other mentor whom the sword had vanished, started defending himself with his shield. Yet bit by bit, everyone who came rushing towards him, ended up being slashed mysteriously.


    "Good, being courageous is a part of being swordsman, you already passed" claimed by the mysterious mentor.


    In just a brief moment, the three mentors was able to send the half of the original population of the new student lying in the ground unconscious. Despite of such thing, the remaining sword students came rushing towards them, the three sword mentor.


    One novice student, send out a sword slash to one of the mentor. This made the other mentor be glad. It was a fast sword slash, aimed to kill a person.


    The mentor with a shield then shielded himself from the sword slash. The sword slash from the student then dented a small scratch in the shield as it tried to break it into two. The mentor wielding shield was surprised of such skill. He then retracted the position of his hands where his shield is connected and like a ray of light bouncing on a mirror, the sword slash was perfectly reflected.


    "Nice attack" claimed by the mentor,


    That sword slash comes from one of the new student. It was a girl with a green hair, wielding a rapier sword.


    Another sword strike came out flying towards him, this time it came from another student. It was a student with a scar on his cheek.


    With his shield once more, he reflected the upcoming sword slash.


    "It seems like we have a talented swordsman here, and was quite a bunch of them too" claimed by mentor wielding a shield.


    Meanwhile, the mentor with a giant sword then charged straightly to the rest of the novice student. He then hammerred his giant sword to them. Seeing such a massive sword, the students then dispersed from their current position, trying to run away. Only one of the student gathered his courage to face the upcoming attack. That is none other than cless klouster. With his gravitational sword, he tried to fend of the sword himself.


    Clash of the sword between the mentor and a student came out. Screeching of the blades resounded around them. The rest of the student behind cless were also amazed of the mentors strength.


    In the other hand, the mentor himself was delighted when he witnessed such scene himself. Never did he realized that a small blade in a form of katana would be able to fend of his massive blade from such attack.


    "Quite a brute young one" claimed by the mentor.


    "Thanks for the guidance teacher" responded by cless.


    On the other hand, the mentor who is wielding two swords stopped from his barrage. Not because he wants to, but because at that moment, a fast draw of the sword caught his attention, almost slashing him into two. This sword strike comes from a new student with a red hair sword.


    "Almost got me, young one" claimed by the dual blade wielder.


    "Teacher is taking it easy towards me" claimed by the student.


    Seeing that some of their fellow companions have manage to give their all in front of strong mentors. The rest of the student then charged their way to the three mentors with out rest and because of their merged attack, the three mentors doesnt have any other choice but to get serious.


    "To think that there will be another event such like this." claimed by the sword hall leader while sitting on a massive boulder nearby.

 Duel between the student and sword mentors, along with the half-demon

    One of the student then unleashed his true skill, it was another girl swordie. In front of her, several fallen swords started to float up mid air. Each of the swords edges were aimed towards the three sword instructor.


    Seeing such a skill, the leader of the sword knight institution were amazed.


    "That was the flight of the sword skill" to think that one of you would possess such skill.


    The three mentors who know the skill then prepare themselves from a brute attack.


    "Back, everyone , Back!!" shouted by the girl.


    The rest of the remaining swordsman then move away from the mentors. At that time, like rain pouring its water droplet unto the ground, the floating swords then crushed their way towards the three mentors.


    With their raw speed and strength, the three mentors then deflected each of the upcoming sword, one by one.


    This scene made the rest of the student open their mouth wide in shock.


    "Definitely strong mentors" claimed by cless as he observed how they parried each of the sword attack.


    One sly student then unleashed his sword skill while the mentors are occupied from the floating blades. This student is wielding a black katana sword. He then pointed his sword on the shield wielder swordsman, and in an instant, he vanished on his position and like a whirlwind he himself appear on the back of the shield wielder. Right then a surprise attack of multiple sword stab were performed by the young student. It was a great blind attack.


    However to his surprise, white lights in a form of blade protected the mentor from his black blade.


    "I did not let my guard down young one, not even once." claimed by the shield wielder.


    Seeing his failed surprise attack, the young swordsman then retreated several meters away from the mentor. Never did he realized that the moment he set his foot near to the mentor, he is already stepping on the mentors trap. At that moment, dozens of light sword pointed its pointy edge on the students neck.


    Unable to do anything, the student then surrendered to his fate. A strong force then send him lying into the ground lying unconscious.

    "Still a remarkable move from a novice student" claimed by the mentor who wields a shield.


    Meanwhile on the other part of the battle field, the wielder of a giant sword is currently surrounded by several swords. Right then dozen of swords flew out midair charging towards him. However, at that moment, bit by bit, each of the sword around him started to break into pieces. Unknown to them, the reason why the swords are broken into pieces is because of the massive aura released by the mentor himself.


    "Do not look down on me, you brats" claimed by the mentor wielding a massive sword.


    At that exact moment, the mentor then charged once again to the remaining novice swordies while covered with a terrifying battle aura. Several students who have had a taste of his battle aura started to fall down, one by one. Meanwhile, seeing that the mentor move out of his way, cless himself then started to take his rest moving away from the battlefield.


    "Better not get involve to much" claimed by cless.


    On the other part of the battle field, the mentor with a dual blade have succesfully beaten most of the students around him, He himself is currently facing a strong student alone. It was the student with a red hair who almost cut him into half. The two of them then bouts to each other clashing their sword giving out both a screeching sound. Whenever the student would give him a swordslash, the mentor himself would parried it with each of his sword. In a short look in a naked eye, you could determine that the mentor is toying the student himself. Not because he wields two sword, but because, his sword are filled with massive force, retracting each of the strike from his opponents side with ease.


    At that moment, the girl with a green hair holding a rapier took the opportunity to help his fellow student. In an instant, a rapid sword stab then have appeared on the side of the dual sword wielder. Yet with ease, the swordsman wielding a dual sword deflected each of the sword stab coming from the girls attack with ease. Seeing such an opportunity, while the mentor is caught up parrying the sword stab, the previous student who has a red hair, send out another fast draw of the sword skill. The moment he draw his sword from its scabbard, a sword slash traveling in a speed of light flew out out of his swords edge.


    The mentor caught a glipse of it, and with one of his sword on his left hand, he then send out a counter of flyin sword slash. The sword slash then clashed with each other, giving out a howling sound. The wind around them then started to explode in a terrible manner. Most of the swordsman around them were also send flying unconscious. Such a great clash of two sword slashes.


    Because of the explosion, the girl with a rapier was send away far from the dual sword wielder. Unable to do anything, she then went straight to the nearby mentor around her.


    Meanwhile, the leader of the institution is having fun watching the free style duel between the three mentors and the student escalate. He is leisurely enjoying his view while sitting on a massive boulder storm near to the battle ground.


    "Great sword skill. Nice sword skill, Fight!! Fight!!" claimed by the leader of the sword knight institution.

 The strongest 10: sword novice student including the half-demon

    Swords from the students side were constantly battling the three mentors. Yet despite of their numbers, they cant seems to land a single blow of sword on the mentors body.


    At that time, as swift as the wind, the girl with a rapier sword send out a multiple sword strike to the mentor who wield a massive sword. In return the mentor just parried it with his sword. The guy with the scar on his face then assisted the girl and the two of them battled out the giant sword wielder with their unique sword skill.


    sfx: Clang.


    Sword on both sides clashes on melee combat. Despite of their numbers, the wielder of the giant blade never give up. Infact, he looks like his handling the battle with ease.


    This made the two sword wielder be infuriated. Thus despite of their different sword style, the two remarkably send out a beautiful sets of multiple combo slashes.


    "Keep it up folks" claimed by the mentor as he send out a massive rotating kick, sending one of the student flying. It was the student with a remarkable scar on his face.


    "Who says, swordsmanship doesnt involve body skills" claimed by the mentor.


    Meanwhile, the girl charged once more to the mentor by herself.


    As swift as the wind, the girl get a chance to get closer with the mentor.


    Caught off guard, the mentor was bewildered of such move. In a close range distance, the girl sword wielder then unleashed super fast sword stab skill. It then landed beautifully into the center portion of the mentors chest. Just at that moment, the pointy edge of the rapier digs deeper and deeper unto the skin of the mentor.


    "I was caught" claimed by the mentor as he set his gaze in between of his chest.


    "PIERCE!!" Shouted by the girl.


    However, at that moment, never did she realized that the mentor has already been basked by a massive clothing of defensive aura during their fight. Instead of piercing straight to the heart of the mentor, what happens is exactly the same when a punch hits a ball forward. As swift as the speed of light. the mentor himself was sent flying several meters away from his current position.


    Both on his feet, the mentor then stucked his massive sword on the ground. A spill of blood can be clearly seen on the side of his mouth.


    "Such a destructive strike" claimed by the mentor himself.


    On the other portion of the battle field, the girl sword wielder who controls the floating sword then engaged herself on a close combat with the shield wielder. Dozens of floating Sword of light then welcomed her as she charged towards him.


    "Be careful young lady" claimed by the mentor.


    To his surprise, not only she could handle a multitasking combo controlling the floating swords arround her sending it towards him.She is also able to perform a close combat attacks at the same time.


    The mentor who wields shield is amazed by her skill. Still, a mentor is a mentor. Without having any trouble in hands, the mentor is able to control the set of situations in his hand. Clashes of floating sword of light and floating sword blade rang out arround them, while they are combating in a melee situations at the same time.


    The mentor then suddenly raised his right hand while wielding his shield on his left hand.


    "Dont you think young miss, that you are not the only one who can multitasked here?" claimed by the mentor


    At that moment, a sword of light appear on the mentors right hand.


    "Now its time to attack" claimed by the mentor as he start pushing himself unto the lady sword wielder smashing his sword while wielding his shield. It was a great combination of attack. Both of them are attacking in a multitask situation while they covered with floating swords bashing and clashing to each other.


    This make it difficult for the remaining student around the girl to help her.


    Seeing that there are now less than 20 sword wielder remaining standin on their ground. The hall leader then stood up from his sit. He never did notice someone beside him. It was none other than the main character of the story. Perhaps it is because of his aura that the leader mistaken him for something. Right after the few exchange from awhile ago. Cless retreated on the brawl and with his sword he made his grand walk on the sideline watching a great show. Not that later someone whom he does not even recognized did appear. It was none other than the hall leader.


    "Perhaps it was now time" claimed by the hall leader.


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    The hall leader then send out his skill. At that moment, the entire surrounding was covered in a black sphere. All of the 19 swordsman are now covered in the dark, excluding cless. Cless is out of the battle area just watching their fight un affected of such skill.


    Unable to see and explain what had just happened the remaining 19 were all bathed in fear. In that exact moment, the leader of the hall started to move on his position.


    The three mentors then stopped attacking at an instant. Seeing the three instructors on stand by the mentor then started moving his feet to the remaining student. One by one, he striked them with his sword blindly sending them immediately to the ground unconscious. At that moment, the whole area was bathed in a loud wailing sound. Bit by bit, the 19 student started to fall on the hands of the hall leader.


    The hall leader had his hands filled while freely roaming around figuring who to hit next. Yet at that moment, one single student was able to impress him. It was the girl who controls the floating sword. At that exact time, unable to gasp the things around her, the girl send out the swords around her in several direction striking nonchalantly and randomly. This sword skill caused a ruckus inside the sphere of darkness. Several of the remaining student were wounded because of the skill. The three mentors and the hall leader then defended themselves from the outrage attack.


    "Interesting, you make it easier for me" claimed by the hall leader.


    The remaining student tried to defend themselves from such random attack, however, how could they do, their bathed in darkness. Some of them relied on their sense of hearing, while the other relies on their instinct. However most of them failed to do so. The sect leader ofcourse cant let the newbie student suffer more because of the outrage of a single girl. So he then started to move swiftly sending those who are unable to see in the dark lying unconscious.


    After a long time of battling, showing off some sword skills, the students numbers were now reduced to more than half. The remaining students are considered to be the most talented ones. Only 10 of them are now standing on their ground. Among them is cless klouster, a half- human half-demon. Currently, he is out of the dark sphere someehere standing on the sideline trying to wait for the fight between his fellow student and the three mentors to end. He is lucky at that time, and was excluded in the student who were covered by the dark sphere. Perhaps, luck helps him out by making such a rare decision of standing in the sideline, not trying to create ruckus at all.


    At that moment, the three mentors, stopped attacking the remaining talented student. At that exact time too, the leader of the sword knight institution then released his skill from being activated making the vision of the remaining student back to normal.


    The remaining student then look out around them, only to see that only few remains standing. The girl on a rampage calm down too, she was afraid that perhaps because of her attack, some of the students were severely wounded.


    Seeing that everyone has stopped fighting. the hall leader then greeted the remaining 10 with an applause. The three mentors yield their swords too and keep them on their back. They too greeted the remaining student with claps. However someone who saw cless awhile ago opened up his mouth. He pointed his finger unto him trying to tell that someone just cheated. He is about to yell on the hall leader when he started to talk.


    "Congratulations to the ten of you" claimed by the division leader.


    "Did he not notice him?.". Said by the one holding a great sword. He immediately run and went to where cless is and he went on his side trying to shut him off.


    Cless is about to yell when the guy successfully take him out of the field. "Dont shout you cheater. Just don''t.". At that moment cless remained like a log and he said to himself "How am I going to yell if your bulky hands is stopping me.


    "You showed us your skills and capacity with the sword. Despite of the huge gap in sword skills, you have successfuly proved to us your worth as a sword wielder" claimed by the division as he give hints to the other three mentors.


    That time, the two mentors then send a real firework signal above the sky of the Sword Knight Hall. The fireworks then exploded above them.


    "Because of your dedication to your sword techniques, i the leader of the sword knight division. Truly welcome you all" claimed by the leader.


    At that exact moment, right after the leader finished talkin. Bunch of Senior students came rushing towards the ninety unconscious novice students. They carried the unconscious student one by one sending them to the nearby clinic.


    "You dont have to worry about your fellow classmates. I immediately ordered your seniors to send them to the nearby infirmary. That way they will be taken with good care" claimed by the leader.


    The three mentors then went back to the sword hall carrying their swords with them. Emotion of being happy and being satisfied are clearly drawn into their faces while they walk their feet back to the sword hall. Who wouldnt be, after witnessing how the novice students fight, all of them are fully satisfied to their bouts. So they happily move out of their way leaving the division leader alone with the 10 remaining novice student


    "As a reward of your hardwork and preserverance, I will now guide you inside the sword skill library. The ten of you are allowed to gain at least a class A sword skill and a Class C body enhancement skill." claimed by the leader as he turn his back from the group of student.


    "Not only that, the ten of you are also allowed to enter up to the fourth floor of the library where in you could see the heavenly sword scar. You are only allowed to be on the fourth floor for four hours. Who knows you might be able to harvest an insight on the swrod scar as early as now" added by the hall leader.


    "Seeing all of you are capable of wielding sword, i expect more to the lots of you, take it as my gift of appreciation from you hardwork" claimed by the hall leader.


    The ten novice student then bowed down to the hall leader paying respect to him.


    "Thank you Hall leader" yelled by the novice students.


    "Skip the other part and lets head to the sword skill library" claimed by the hall leader.


    Right after that, the hall leader then escorted the ten students unto the sword skill library. At that moment, one student is doubting those skills. This student is none other than, the half-human half-demon, cless klouster being kidnapped by one of the mentors. "When ate you going to release me?.". Asked by him. "Right after they go. That idiot hall leader probably mistaken you as a teacher.". "Me as a teacher? How in hell.". "Just don''t, in exchange I myself will train you in the way of sword." "Training me in the way of sword?.". At that moment cless did think of it and in just a minute he said "sure.". That time, finally the innitiation ended.

 The Sword Scar and the half-demon

    The ten strong novice then followed their hall leader. The lot of them are now heading into sword skill library, On their way, they passed on several buildings inside the vicinity of sword knight institution. Their area is a six hectares wide in space area. Wide enough to build up a town inside. They too passed on several sword wielder like them. Seeing the hall leader passing by on the streets, several sword wielder bows their heads whenever they meet him. The rest of them continued walking following the hall leader in their front.


    "As expected of the Hall leader" claimed by one of the ten student.


    "He is well respected" claimed by the girl sword wielder with a green hair.


    They continued walking for quite some time, and after their long walk finally they reach the front gate of the library building. It has a four layer basement floors, tall enough compared to the average building around them. It is wide too enough to cater large quantity of student at a time.


    "This is the sword skill library. This is where you are going to get your swordskill today. Our school library only allowed the student to borrow two books every month. Every end of the month, you have to return the borrowed book to them. Not only that, the skill that you will borrow will depend ofcourse based on your power rankings. Since this is your first time inside the library, I the head leader will allow you to pass the 2nd floor of the library to get any Rank A Sword skill that you want, in the lower basement, there you can find the Rank B down to Rank E sword and body skills. You are not allowed to enter the 3rd floor of the building since all of the class S sword skill are located into that floor. I will instruct the library guardian to monitor all of your actions inside the library and will inform them that you are all allowed to enter the 4th floor where in the Sword Scar can be found, any other than that is restricted. Thats it for now, after getting your books and entering the 4th floor you may now do as you please. I have already told you the location of your dormitories, after having your business inside the library you may now access your dormitories. For now, lets enter the library building." claimed by the sword hall leader as they walk inside the library hall.


    At that moment, the library guardian then welcomed the hall leader. " Greetings to the Leader, welcome students, I am the library guardian, my name is Zen, please dont hesitate to ask me if theres anything you want inside the library" claimed by the library guardian.


    At that moment,ten student then dispersed out of the group and started to separate themselves to each other, looking out for every skill inside the library. That moment too, the hall leader instructed the library guardian about the 10 novice student. Later after that, he then move out of his way leaving the 10 student inside the library building.


    While the ten student were given a privilege of gaining sword skill, the young cless is being trained by the brute mentor. "Hah, that foolish head did finally lost one good student. How in hell are you able to withstand my great broad sword?. With such small katana, how in are you able to fend of such great sword?.". The great cless then did said "probably training?.". Able to hear such answer the mentor then did said "What kind of training and hardship have you encounter that you are able to deflect my brute strength  swordsman ship skills.". Cless then did remember the thousand strikes per day and he said "A thousand strike of a 60 kilogram sword.". At that moment the brute mentor stopped and he started to scratch his hair as he cannot believe the guys answer "60 kilogram sword and a thousand strike.". He then did started fo act friendly on the little one and he started to escort him on a private place. "As a reward for you my friend, I will let you have a test on one of our main secret tower. On it is tower filled with sword skill. It''s up to you if you are able to gain atleast one of them. Well most of the time, students and mentors like us will take atleast ten years before we gain true skills on it.". "Really, should I thank you for it.".


    So the brute mentor did send on a private tower and did enter it casually. The brute mentor then did start to laugh and jest saying "What an ignorant kid, I would estimate, he won''t be able to last long on such tower. That tower is filled with gravitational force. That once you enter it you will be able immediately shredded into bits. I guess, it would would take time before he will be forced to exit.". Unknown to him, the young one is already accustomed to it. Cless did casually enter the first floor filled with gravitational force. Due to the constant training, cless is not affected by such pressure. Cless took his time up to the fourth floor basaement where in he could sense something. On his way, he saw several senior student meditating under the bask of pressure. Pressure that is enough for someone to be killed. Pressure, heavy pressure that is pressing someone else to the ground.


    "Seems like there are several strong ones here too" claimed by cless as he saw their aura covering their whole body while they are meditating on it.


    He then went up to the fourth floor to look for a unique skill which the brute guy says and without being affected by the pressure some of the seniors who saw him gave a devilish smile saying "that guy is dead". As soon, as he set his foot on the fourth floor, a surge of killing intent welcomed him. He almost feel like dying himself due to the sudden intent, it was so powerful the he feel like his body is about to collapse due to the intent alone. He then sees the large empty hall around him and on its center was a giant cracked atmosphere. It seems like that the atmosphere itself was teared out by a massive sword slash.


    Stolen story; please report.


    "What kind of thing is this?.the pressure here is enough for a novice guy to be killed instantly." claimed by cless


    Cless then stepped his foot one more time and this time a massive sword slash several times larger compared to his normal sword slash flew out in a speed of light out of the sword scar aiming for his head. Cless unable to drew out his sword, was enveloped by the slash itself. The moment that the sword slash covered him, his body feels like he is being shreaded into small pieces. Sweat covered his head due to such experience. That time, he thought that he is dead. He thought that the sword slash is a real sword slash but it isnt, its just an illusory slash filled heavy killing intent. Yet to him it already feels real. Out of breath he said.


    "I almost died thinking that it was a real sword slash" claimed by cless while he wipe the sweat on his forehead.


    He stepped his foot once more, this time three huge slashes welcomes him immediately. He wants to dodge it, but he cant. His foot are stuck on the ground. Unable to move further, once again cless was covered by the three huge slashes. Cless was covered by the three consecutive strike and at that moment, his knee gave out making him fall into two with a palm facing into the ground. The killing intent is around them which makes it more difficult to breath. Such a murderous aura around the fourth floor.


    "Death, this floor sends normal swordsman to its death" claimed by cless while another set of sweat poures down on his forehead. "That brute mentor. He.".


    Even with his strong physique, receiving three sword slash at once feels like his life is being shreaded into bits. Cless slowly stood up once more. He then gathered his courage and stepped his foot for another time. Another huge sword slash came out out of the scar, however to his surprise, this time, dozens of sword slash welcomed him. Unable to react swiftly, he was once again covered by the huge slashes. Cless was once again sent down into two.


    "Such a powerful barrage of attack" claimed cless "However, this time, i noticed something into the scar itself" added by him.


    He then stood up, and once more, he stepped his foot unto the ground. Twice as much as before, the sword slashes flew out towards the currently standing cless. He then focused his vision unto the scar alone and at that moment. disregarding the pain of being shreded by the slashes, Cless noticed the flow of the air into the scar itself. It was like a normal sword slashes, the only difference is that, it tears out a huge portion of air atmosphere sending out several sword slashes towards him. The last slash then covers him and at that moment, once again, cless was send into the ground.


    "To think that a normal slash could shatter the air atmosphere to the point of creating a scar on it. This sword slash must be pretty heavy" claimed by cless as he pondered about it, cless then remembered his uncles words and his sword slashes during their rigorous training unto the mountain "Just keep on practicing your kendo and in time you will reach to that level"said by cless. He then stood up and once again, disregarding the pain from the illusory sword slashes, cless accepts the sword slashes in his arms. The more he gets closer to the scar, the more number of multiple slashes it bounce back to cless. Yet cless is persistent. He continued moving his feet near and near to the scar, observing the scar itself, while visualizing the sword slashes into his mind how the slashes tears out the huge atmosphere around it.


    After several moments of being shredded into piece never did he notice that it was already fpur hours since he entered such tower. On the entrance of the tower a masculine mentor is waiting like a child. "Is he dead?. Why did he not exited it after just a minute. Has he gone senile? What to do, mentors like me are not allowed to enter such place. I just did tricked him for something.". When all of a sudden the head of hall did appear together with thennew recruit. The so called new top ten. He bowed down and greeted the new entry and in just a minute the young one entered the hall.


    "What are you doing here?." Asked by the hall leader.


    "Uhm, I did just let my pupil enter the hall."


    Your pupil, did you by chance.


    The mentor then did start get himself friendly on the hall. "I did, just forgive this once. He is not like those top ten of yours.". The hall leader then did looked seriously on the brute guy and he just gave him a smile.


    "Sigh..." said by the brute punk.


    At that moment, one by one, each of cless fellow classmates started appearing on several floors. Basked by the heavy pressure, most of them did start to feel the pain. Most of them were sent unto the ground pasted like an idiot. Some of them are crawling unto the ground. Some of them are foolish enough to reach the third floor. Yet none of them were able to reach the fourth.


    They too were welcomed by the strong killing intent and by the illusory slashes. Unable to defend themselves from the slashes, the rest of them were stucked on the entrance of several floor. Unknown to them, One man finally stood up from his sit. He then starts to move his arses back to the main entrance. His entire body is filled with sweat almost looks like he had just finished taking his bath. His eyes are tired and weary enough from the frequent sword slashes. This guy is none other than cless klouster. He went pass on the fourth floor entrance passing his fellow classmates who are currently facing the illusory slashes too. One of his classmates asked him.


    "Have you learned something?" asked by a male sword wielder to cless.


    Cless waved his hands in response trying to say "Please dont bother me". Seeing cless went on his way, his fellow classmates let him be and they too started to move inside the fourth floor. Cless himself, went straight to the 3rd basement floor where in the strong sword student are around.


    "Look, he is bathed in sweat" claimed by one of the sword student.


    Laughter then filled the entire floor seeing how pitiful he looks after meeting such terrifying experience. Never did they know that the young man himself was able to make it half-way to the sword scar itself. Despite of how they laugh at him, cless move his feet back to the entrance of the hall.

 The sword skill of the half- demon, Rank E sword skill: The soul of the sword

    Cless searched around the second floor, looking out for skills. There are several good skills present around him, yet for some reasons, he didnt choose them. Thus, he went down to the first floor where in most of the class E skills are present. He searched them all out, until finally he picks one book among the piled up rank E sword skill.


    "That brute guy told me that I would be able to gain skills here. However, i could not find any remarkable skills here.". At that moment a sword skill did suddenly went unto him and he read it like an idiot.


    "Finding the Soul of the Sword, sounds interesting" claimed by cless.


    Another skill did suddenly appear in front of him.


    "Basic Swordsman Footsteps" claimed by cless.


    He then did choose the swordsmans footsteps as he exited the said building. There he saw the brute mentor. Waiting like a kid moving from several places, forth and back. As soon as he saw him he immediately did hugged like a kid. "So how is it. Have you gained something.". At that moment the young swordsman answered yes then the mentor nodded like how a man should be and he said "Great then let me go ahead and escort you to the swordsmans dormitory.". With the brute punk, he and cless then went on their way towards the said dormitory.


    On their way, they saw several sword wielder leisurely mingling with each other. "As you see, the institution is lively Is ever.". "Its an academy afterall." Said by cless, they went straight on their way not minding the sword wielders. It was a lively community filled with crowds of people. On their way, they too have passed unto some merchants marketing their products on the side streets. As expected of wide association, the entire area is filled with people. He then continued walking by his feet until finally he reached the entrance of the dormitory.


    They were welcomed by the Dormitory land lord and escorted him to his room. On their way,several sword wielder are liesurely chatting with each other. Some of them says Hi towards cless, trying to welcome him as a new student. He then bowed to them in return. The landlord and cless then went up to the fifth floor of the Novice Dormitory Building. His room is just beside the stairs up to the roof top.


    "This will be your room. room 504 and here is your key" claimed by the land lord as he gives him the key to his house.


    He then went in to see his new room. It was spacious inside, He also has drawers and set of training clothes provided by the academy themselves.The room has its own window too, and a single futton bed. He turns on the lights to see if there is electricity inside. That moment, the bulb lighted up, cless then gave his thanks to the landlord.


    "Thank you so much"claimed by cless.


    Then he saw the brute mentor barely arriving on the fourth floor. "How bout it, do you like it?.".


    "Yes, thanks to the assistance sir. What was It again?. Bart."


    "Yes, Bart. Not a problem,just approach me if you needed any thing, ok"claimed by the mentor himself.


    The mentor then bid his farewell at the meantime, living cless inside his new room. He then fixed himself inside the room. He took the sword skill book and started reading every page while laying down on his bed."


    "According to this book, every sword is like a human itself. It has its own soul, emotion, consciousness, characteristics and life.


    If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.In previous ages, the sword wielders often treat their weapons as their own. In the past, before the sword wielders are allowed to wield weapons, they are required to obtain the hidden heart of the sword. To obtain the heart of the sword, one is required to understand the soul of the sword first. So this is the reason why the skill book is in named as Soul of the Sword. By doing it, only then truely a connection between man and the sword will appear, and by then the true will of the sword will be heard. This is quite new to me. To think that a skill like this belongs to class E skill books. He then started reading more of its pages and give his time unto it learning more about the sword skill. After giving his time reading the book, he then finally closed it and started following the instructions from it.


    Cless then wisphered the chant spell in the air around him. Right after that he took out his gravitational sword and made a cut on his palm. He then let the blood be dripped on the blade of the sword until the blood reaches its pointy edge.


    Then he stuck the sword on the ground and started to sit cross-legged right beside it. He then closed his eyes.


    Bask in the darkness, cless consciousness started to feel empty. Yet he still continued sending his consciousness on it. Several time later, while in the darkness, cless started to hear a single noise of droplet of water.It then circulated through his ears and finally on his consciousness. After that, he started to hear something more louder, louder compared to a droplet of water. Cless pondered for it for awhile, then finally he concluded that it was a pulse. A beating pulse similar to a heart. He then send his consciousness unto the pulse and there he figure out that it was on his sword. At that time, unknown to cless, the air around him started to go rampage forming a circlet of fast turbulent wind getting cless in the center of it.


    Cless then tried to get his pulse be synchronized with the pulse of the sword, and after doing so, another event happened inside his consciousness. The once dark consciousness then was bathed with colours. This time, cless could now clearly see his own body sitting on a crosslegged position holding his sword while it was stuck on the ground. It was entirely unexpected for cless himself,his eyes are closed yet he could clearly see himself inside his consciousness. Cless then realized that perhaps, it was the consciousness of his sword whom letting him see his ownself while his eyes are closed.


    Moment later from that, another pulse resounded out. This time, darkness ones again covered him up and a loud voice rang out to his consciousness saying "Call my name". At that time the circlet of strong wind surrounding cless grows even more wilder becoming a whirlwind. The whirlwind sets chaos inside cless room,everything was sent out flying mid air. Meanwhile Cless that time hear another voice saying "My name is. . .".


    As soon as he heard it, he then opened his eyes, stood up and raises his sword. Glints of yellow lights appear on the side of his eyes. The whirlwind around him then expanded even more. Cless then started to speak up. "Your name is verde". In an instant the turbulence of whirlwind vanished and stopped. Several flying objects started to fall.


    Cless the noticed the sudden change on his gravitational sword appearance. On its blade there appear a flaming hot carved image of a dragon reaching its head unto the pointy edge of the sword. Cless then stared for it for awhile observing the strong aura coming out of the sword itself. Unknown to him, his body too is covered with a thick layer of yellow aura.


    Seing such a great change, cless once again closed his eyes. Cless knows what will happen next once he succesfully obtained the soul of the sword. The moment he closed his eyes. Six image of sword skills flashes inside his consciousness. Among the six skills, one of it makes him excited. Cless then opened his eyes staring on his new formed sword.


    "To think that just obtaining your name, gives me six sword skill.


    "Verde sleep" commanded by him, and at that moment, his sword returned to its normal form. The dragon carvings on his sword vanished too.


    Meanwhile not far from cless, someone have managed to take a peek of the events that have happened inside cless room. It was none other than, the hall leader.


    "One man finally succeeded on getting his swords soul" claimed by the hall leader as he stood up from sitting cross-legged.


    "I cant wait for his improvement, right? my "shadow" " claimed by the hall leader as he waved his sword in the air.

 The Half-Demons first day in school

    Four days later, cless prepared himself to go to school. He now fixes himself wearing the school uniform. Its going to be his first day in a class, hes never been in class ever since, so he is kinda nervous this time. After fixing himself, he immediately went off out of his room and started to move his feet towards the school building. Their school building is located in the far north of the vicinity.


    On his way, he met several new students like him. Some of them we''re their seniors. While he is walking along with the crowds. Someone from his back called him. It was the previous novice student with a scar on his cheek.


    "Hey you! brown haired guy!! Wait up. Lets go together" called out by the student with a scar on his cheek.


    Cless in reponsed walk even faster trying to leave the odd student byhimself. Yet the student with a scar runs towards him and patted him in his back. Though cless want to head to school all by himself, he didnt have a choice, since the guy is very persitent.


    "What kind of manners do you have" claimed by the student with a scar on his cheek.


    The student then introduced his name to cless.


    "My name is jacob, jacob spanner, and whats yours?" noted by him.


    " Cless klouster" claimed by cless.


    "Nice to meet you cless" added by the student with the scar on his face with a fistname of jacob.


    "I heard that all hundreds of novice student will be divided into five groups. I wonder which class we belong too" claimed by jacob.


    "Five groups, we probably would end up being separated" claimed by cless


    "Thats rude, well who knows. Anyway, have you started practicing your class A skill?" asked by jacob.


    "No, why?" asked by cless in return.


    "Dont you know? Our class mainly involves in dueling and fighting? yesterday i practiced mine as preparation." claimed by jacob.


    "I see, so we are basically being trained thru combat duels." claimed by cless.


    "Yes, which is why im glad that we are able to obtain a class A skill." claimed by jacob.


    "I heard, most of our seniors are aching to teach us a great lesson. From their excitement itself, im afraid we will only end up as a training bag." claimed by jacob himself.


    "I guess so, they have experience after all" responded by cless.


    The two of them then keep moving heading to the school building. Little later, the two of them finally reach the school buildings gate. Just as they enter to the school, the two of them are welcomed by the crowd of novice student looking for their names on the main bulletin board. It seems like the mentors have succesfully divided the students into five classes that theyve already posted the result into the board. Crowds of student gathered on the board searching for their names. The two student, jacob and cless fitted in too, watching out for their names.

    Little while later, the two of them went out of the crowd.


    "So we ended up being in the same class after all." claimed by jacob.


    "Yeah. Seem so." answered by cless.


    The two of them then went to their class room building. Their section name is Class C, the third class. They then entered their room. As soon as they entered the room, they were welcomed by their fellow classmates.


    "Welcome!! Whats your name?" asked by the girl with an eye glasses on.


    "Im jacob spanner, this other guy with me is cless klouster" claimed by jacob.


    "I see, my name is jessica Blair, nice to meet you two" claimed by the girl in named jessica.


    Another one voice out introducing himself. Little later, the whole fifty student of class C were finally assembled.


    Right after that, their school teacher went in. He is also a sword wielder like them, he was a samurai. He then went in front of them and started to speak up.


    "Good morning! My name is karasu heiji. Your home room school teacher. I am entask to guide you in your way of sword until you graduate. I have one rule in this class. Train your body and your swordsmanship well. Thats all" claimed by teacher himself.


    The moment that the fifty students heard it, they then clapped their hands.


    "Every day, we will always do physical training, that is to make sure that your physique stays perfectly fit. We will also involved ourself in a duel fight with your seniors everyday to make sure that your swordsmanship will improve. The only rest day we have is sunday. Understand?" asked by the mentor himself.


    In response all of the student answered yes.


    "Good, thats the spirit. Now prepare yourself for our physical training. Our first training is sit ups" claimed by the instructor.


    "Sit Ups? " asked by jacob to himself


    "Sit Ups" claimed by cless


    So that time finally, cless klousters life as a student inside the academy begins.


    The entire class started doing situps at exact same time.


    "1...2...3...4...5" theyre counting resonated inside the room.


    After an hours of sit ups, their teacher, hijikata, made them rest for awhile.


    "Rest for awhile, Our next training session will involve yourself into running" claimed by teacher heiji.


    After several moments, the class resumed their session and the entire fifty student went to the nearby field. They then started running altogether with their teacher following them behind.


    "NO ONE WILL STOP UNLESS I SAY STOP!" shouted by their teacher while they continue to run.


    For half an hour the entire class jogged non-stop around the field and after that their teacher made them rest. Some of them fell down into two while covered with sweats, some of them lies on the floor due to exhaustion. Meanwhile, jacob, cless and jessica were all fine. The three of them chatted together while taking their rest.


    "That was a great exercise" claimed by jessica.


    "Sure it was" claimed by jacob.


    "Yeah, it was a good exercise, i could feel that my bloods are burning" claimed by cless.


    The two, jessica and jacob then nodded at the same time


    After their rest time, their teacher gathered them up.


    "Take all of your swords! and gather in front." claimed by teacher hijikata.


    At that time, all fifty student gathered their sword and make a line in front. After that, the teacher send out a firework above them.


    and fifty senior student came out of the field.


    "Today! like i have told you! we will conduct a duel match for all of you. You have to thank all of your seniors for their help. They are all willing to have a duel with you." claimed by the instructor himself.


    "Let the match begin 50 novice student vs 50 senior student starts now" yelled by the instructor himself.


    The instructor himself already expected that they are going to loose. For him, loosing is a great way for improvement and to get motivation. Never did he knows that there are strong student in his class. One of them, is kless klouster.

 A tragedy on their first day of class.

    Cless look around him, and everyone is occupied on fighting their own battles with their sword.


    "Look at me, young novice and focus on fighting me" claimed by the senior student.


    Cless bowed at him in response.


    "No need for formalities, just fight" insisted by him. After that, he then dashed towards cless striking his sword towards him.


    Cless on the other hand tried to deflect the sword. To his surprise the sword of his opponent went through inside his blade and pass through like it was nothing. As fast as he could he then swiftly dodge the upcoming strike by moving his body side ways.


    "Sword Skill : Gambits Sword, one of its phase makes the sword gives transluscent behavior making it unpenetreable to any other sword arround him. A top tier rank A skill" claimed by the senior.


    Cless then hold his sword tightly facing his opponent.


    Seeing that he holds the upper hand, the senior student dashed towards cless. Cless on the other hand went straight to the upcoming senior student. It was an unthinkable moved. The two of them then started fighting head on. A vertical sword strike coming from the senior student welcomed the upcoming cless. Cless on the other hand dodge the sword strike and released a swift sword attack towards the seniors arms.


    The senior student realized that cless did find a way to counter him. In that moment, the senior student released his body protection skill. The senior student then was covered with a thick aura protecting his widely open body from his opponents attack.


    Cless sword landed its blade on the aura itself. The momentum from cless attack was stopped.


    "I was careless, to think that a novice student would let me use my body skill" claimed by the senior student.


    To his surprise another Sword strike coming from cless appear in his front. This time it was going for his head, Despite of being covered with a protective aura. The senior student was overwhelmed by such attack making him to step back from his current position while defending himself with the use of his sword. Sword screeching resounded around the two of them when the sharp blade of their swords crossed with each other.


    Another sword strike from cless went out, the senior student defended it with his sword once more. Cless infront of him constantly striking his sword nonstop. This time, a cold sweat was formed in the seniors forehead while defending himself from barrage of sword strike. Another sword strike coming from cless appears, this time, the senior student used his gambit sword skill.


    "Just Kidding" shouted by the senior student.


    He is clearly waiting for such an open attack. This time, once his blade went through, it will surely cut off cless hand.


    Unable to dodge such an impressive counter attack, cless pushed it through. In that moment a clean cut is expectedly to hit him, and the blade landed so.


    A normal human would bleed and be cut by such attack. Yet cless is different. He is a half-demon half-human who have been practicing his physique for his entire life. So his physique is entirely different compared to any normal human. The blade landed on cless hands.


    The senior was quite surprised of what he see. His sword strike didnt even marked a scratch on cless hands, much more leave a cut. Cless retracted his hands, and after that another strike coming from him came out.


    Still in dazed of what happened in front of him, the senior student loosen his guard. Cless continued hammering his sword unto the senior sending out several sword strikes hitting his opponent several times.


    "This is not right, it should have cut his hands" claimed by the senior student while in thought. Luckily while he is in dazed, his protective aura is still active, protecting him from the barrage of strikes coming from cless.


    Another sword strike coming from cless aiming to the side of his opponents body landed on the protective aura, still the senior student didnt defend himself. Another strike aiming to his opponents head appear still it hitted the protective aura alone. Cless is like a wildbeast sending several sword attack to the senior student.


    This time, the senior student regain his composure, seeing his opponent sending out another strike this time he made it sure that he will land another cut on his opponents body. He dodges cless strike and move his body near him. At 0 point close range, he then give out a massive slash towards cless.


    "CUT!!" Shouted by the senior student. Yet once again, he failed to do so. His sword, not leaving a dent on cless skin, failed to give cless a cut,


    "You, what are you? How are you able to achieve a body like that?" asked by the senior student.


    Cless responded to him by giving him another strike. This time the senior student dodge the strike and then he hammered his sword to cless body. Like an iron wall, it didnt mark any thing at all. Once again the senior student strike his sword unto cless. This time cless accepted the sword strike openly.


    This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    This gained the attention of the crowd near them, including teacher heiji himself.


    "Cless, what kind of a monster are you?" asked by jacob while fighting his senior head on.


    "Cless" claimed by jessica turner.


    The senior student who is in rage, released another sword skill to hit cless. He raises his sword.


    "Take this,my last resort!" shouted by the senior student.


    A giant sword filled with an intent to kill appear above him. It then gave out a massive strike towards cless.


    Sensing the intent to kill, heiji prepared himself to rescue the novice student cless.


    "Have a taste of my skill, you damn brat!" claimed by the senior student.


    Just as it was about to crush cless into blood bits. Cless raises his sword and defended himself from such attack.


    The crowd around them was even more shocked of the scene that theyve witness. A young novice student receiving such a massive aura of sword with a normal little sword blade. Preventing a massive attack with using a sword and a little body. The crowd then saw him raising his sword lifting up the massive sword of aura above him.


    Cless then used his force to deflect the massive aura of sword above him and the sword was shattered into pieces.


    Unable to believe what he had just witnessed. The senior student loosen his grip from his own sword as it fell down into the ground.


    "You, what kind of monster are you?" asked by the senior student.


    Cless as swift as he could, this time seeing that the spirit of his opponent was shattered into pieces gave out another swift sword slash.


    sfx. Splash.


    The sword of cless, pierced through to the defensive aura of the senior sword student slashing his body from his shoulder down to his lower body almost splitting the senior student into two. Blood spurted out of the seniors body making him fall unconscious.


    Silence cowered around cless and the student who are fighting near them. Their fight stopped seeing a bloody scene around them.


    Cless then swinged his gravitational sword in the air as the blood of the senior student around it sprayed out from its bade. He then carried his sword and move out of the crowd of student. walking his feet toward the teacher. The crowd of students around him cannot help themselves to be in fear, speacially towards the monstrous student in their front.


    Seeing such a bloody incident. Heiji, their teacher, send out a firework signal towards the nearby clinic. At that instant, the nearby clinic saw the signal and they immediately send their medical personel to where the signal is coming through.


    "Is he dead?" asked by one of the senior student near the fallen student.


    "I dont know" claimed by one of the senior student.


    Hostile eyes and gazes coming from the seniors side then started to appear behind cless. Cless didnt mind it though, he is already used to it even before.


    Heiji then went straight to cless and say something.


    "You punk, stay out of the crowd for now" yelled by heiji as he went to the fallen student.


    He then checked the students pulse. Luckily the pulse is still there. It was a big relief for heiji when he found out that the senior students pulse is still there. Moment later, the medics arive, they then carried out the fallen senior student and went immediately to the hospital.


    Seeing such a bloody incident on their first day, heiji dismissed the senior students and novice students at the same time. Cless left all alone together with him inside their class room. Heiji then give a word to his student cless, due to his uncontrollable action.


    "I know its unavoidable to spill blood during a fight, still you should have hold it back a little bit, you almost killed a senior student, do you know that?" asked by hijikata himself.


    Cless didnt answer and instead remained himself in silence.


    "for that you are suspended. Get a week of rest and think of your mistake, you may go" claimed by hijikata.


    Cless then went back to his dormitory.


    Seeing his fellow student on his way, heiji give it a thought. He clearly expected that the young cless will be splintered into pieces at that time. Never did he expected that the student alone will be able to defend such attack,not only that, he also almost killed his opponent using his little sword.


    " Now all of the senior student will surely take hostility towards him. An easy target for their blood lust. Such a troublesome student" claimed by heiji as he remained sitting on his desk.


    Not far from the school ground, three student are walking on their feet towards their dormitory.


    It was cless, jacob and jessica.


    "You are really strong cless" claimed by jessica.


    Jacob nodded in response and started to talk.


    "To think that this little guy beside me will be able to defeat a senior student almost killing him, its unthinkable for us you know. But still youve really surprised us" claimed by jacob.


    "I just striked him in return, he is clearly attacking me with an intention to kill" claimed by cless.


    "How can you deflect such a massive sword aura? Do you have secrets in training? asked by jessica.


    "I just keep my self getting busy doing training" answered by cless, hiding the fact that he is a half-demon.


    "Sigh. to think that i fail to claim the spotlight because of you" insisted by jacob.


    "Were doing perfectly fine too, fighting the seniors with our sword, and then your opponent shouted like a mad man. That moment, the crowd near the both of you including us, stopped fighting watching your fight" claimed by jessica.


    "Yeah, it was quite an amazing sight" added by jacob.


    "We clearly thought that you will be splintered into pieces cless." claimed by jessica.


    "I thought he was a strong sword wielder so i accepted his strike with my sword. Never would i thought that his spirit is so easy to break, such a waste" claimed by cless.


    "I see, so you shattered his spirit first. Your really are a punk cless, how do you expect to protect yourself from now on?"claimed by jacob.


    "Thats right, the senior students will surely not let your action pass cless" added by jessica.


    "I''ll just fight them head on, whoever comes to me wanting a fight, i will gift them with my sword" claimed by cless.


    That day, rumors started to spread around the seniors dormitory and novice dormitory. It was all about a novice student who almost ended up killing a senior student on a duel fight. Meanwhile, our main character, the half-demon is soundedly sleeping inside his room leaving the reality of the world around him.


    It was already night, and the rest of the student are currently sleeping. Outside of the novice building , one young man is currently practicing his sword while being basked by the moonlit of the night. It was none other than jacob spanner.


    "Cless is too strong, im afraid im not a match to him. Gotta train more" claimed by jacob as he swing his sword in the air.

 Since he is suspended, the Half-demon went out for a stroll.

    The next day, cless head out of their dormitory to get a breather and to roam the entire academy. Never did he know that his day will turn into a day filled with battle. On his way, he saw several senior sword wielder like him, chit chatting murmuring something. It seems like theY are talking about something that is more related to him. Yesterday, right after he almost killed a senior student. Several senior student send their gazes towards him. Cless noticed it which is why he expected a set back because of his action.


    While cless is walking around the street, he was stopped by a group of sword wielder around him. One of them pointed his sword and started to talk.


    "You are the novice student that they are talking yesterday right? The one who was suspended because of almost killing a senior student" asked by the sword wielder.


    Cless prepared himself for the worst, and instead he move towards them not bothering any single thing about their rant.


    Cless action pissed the group of sword wielder. In that moment, a group of sword wielder unleashed their sword and charge towards cless. Cless halted for his walk and stopped.


    sfx. Woosh.


    Two sword strike landed on cless shoulders and other sword strike landed on his lower body. The sword wielder rejoiced when their blade landed on their opponents body. Never did they realized that their sword slash was too shallow enough that it did not even grazed cless skin. Seeing such impossible feat the sword wielder back off.


    "So it was true, your body is made up of iron" claimed by the sword wielder in front.


    Cless continued walking not bothering them anymore. But still the group of sword wielder barged him.


    "You are weak, trying to fight against me at your current state is an unimaginary dream" claimed by cless.


    This made the sword wielder even more furious, they then attack all together like what they did before.


    "However if you really want a fight, ill welcome you humbly with my sword" claimed by cless as he wield his gravitational sword.


    Cless then head straight to the upcoming sword wielders wielding his gravitational sword. Three swords at once landed on cless body,


    yet it didnt budge at all. Cless then send a fast sword strike to the sword wielders. Together, all three of them activated their defensive aura.


    sfx: Splash


    "What? " asked by one of the student in disbelief as he fall down on his feet. He had received a sword cut from cless despite of activitating his defensive aura. Behind him we''re two other sword wielder laying on the floor filled with blood. Like him they too have received a sword cut from cless.


    Another splash of blood appear in front of him. One by one, each of the sword wielder around cless who have barged him started to fall down bleeding.


    "Stop, I surrender!" yelled out by one of the remaining sword wielder. His knees are clearly shaking in fear.


    "Take the rest of them to the hospital if you want to be spared" claimed by cless.


    The remaining sword wielder then carried their wounded fellow wielder to the hospital, leaving cless not bothering him anymore.


    Many of the people around cless where outspoken when they see how he defeated the bunch of sword wielder with his own sword alone. At that time, another rumor spread out in the vicinity of sword knight institution.


    You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.


    "A monster in the making has appeared in the sword knight institution."


    He is just about to reach the boarder of the sword knight institute when another group of sword wielder barged him once more. This time it was twice much more in numbers compared to the previous group.


    "Fight us you monster brat" claimed by the sword wielder.


    At that instant sword slash flew out out of his swords edge trying to tear cless apart. Cless on the other hand deflected the sword slash with ease using his gravitational swords force.


    To that moment, another sword strike immediately landed on cless stomach. It was a sword slash coming from another swords man far from him. His clothes was torn into pieces as he was bathed by the sword slash. Another sword stab hits him right after the final sword slash. It was a stab attack from another student not far from him. Cless was surprised to the opponents speed and as a result he was sent back several meters away.


    Cless then immediately regained his composure trying to prepare for an upcoming attack. To his surprise, above him a massive sword strike swiftly landed like a lightnigh bolt to his head giving out a massive attack.


    Cless prevented it by shielding it with his gravitational sword. Wide open, three swordsman charges toward him and begun hammering their sword on cless wide open body.


    "Keep it up, strike him with your sword while im holding him" Shouted by the swordsman who have released a massive sword above cless.


    Still however, not a single one of their blade budge even an inch on cless skin.


    "His skin is really thick, its like iron itself.!" shouted by one of the swordsman who had released his sword hammering it on cless body.


    "What kind of a monster are you brat?" shouted by the other one near cless.


    "Keep on hammering him, even skin itself has a limitation" claimed by the other one as he give cless another sword strike.


    At that moment, Cless find the pulse of his sword resonating so fast. He then closed his eyes and started to synchronize his blood unto his sword. Doing so, the air around him started to tremble. It then became a whirlwind sending the group of sword wielder around him flying far from his current position. The crowd around them then started to back off trying to avoid such whirlwind.


    "BACK OFF" Shouted by one the sword wielder flying mid air caught by the whirlwind. Wailing and crying for help resounded among those people who was caught by the massive whirlwind.


    Above cless, the sword aura started to break. The force coming from the whirlwind started to affect the opponents skill, until finally the sword strike vanished on cless head.


    "My swordskill was cancelled?" asked by the sword wielder questioning the things that are happening to their opponent.


    Unable to do anything the rest of the group started to gather themselves waiting for the whirlwind to stop.


    Cless then opened his eyes, and a glowing yellow ray of light appear on the edge of his eyes.


    He then started to speak slowly "W a k e U p. Verde!(means assistant")" says by cless, and in that moment, the whirlwind vanished instantly, sending the flying sword wielder on the ground.


    The rest of their group then started to charge once more towards cless. Yet in that moment, in an instant, cless vanished in his current position.


    All of them then stopped moving, looking out for their opponent, cless. Beside them, one sword wielder fall unto the ground with a massive cut on his back. The rest of the sword wielder was shock to see that one of their comrade go down. Liltte that later, three other swords man was cut in their front sending them unconscious on the ground. Seeing that they are being cut one by one, the rest of the group started to feel panic, moving their feet away from each other. However as soon as their feet moved all of them got knock out. One by one each of them are gradually falling in a series like a series of Christmas''s light. Cless raised his sword and he whispher something unto it saying "Thank you assistant. You may take a rest now."


    He then went on his way out of the sword knight institution. Headed somewhere. That time another group of wounded swordsman were sent into the hospital. While the patients are being treated on the ward, only one word did came out of the nurses mouth


    "Who and why are they doing this to us.".


    Later they did confirmed that all of the swordsman who was send to hospital that time have one cause and one culprit. It was cless klouster. The information have reached the school ground too. At that moment, while most of the sword students are gradually doing their regular drills, chit chats and gossip are gradually being sent to them. It was a gossip about someone who is sending swordsman to the hospital. A student which brazen and punk to the core. Sending seniors to their demise. Unknown to them, It was their fellow classmate, cless Klouster, the one who is suspended from causing ruckus.


    "It was Cless again, again and again." claimed by jacob while he talks to jessica.


    "Yes,. What a poor guy." claimed by jessica.


    "Not a surprise anymore, he almost killed a senior yesterday, so it is reasonable that they wll get back to cless." claimed by jacob.


    "Still being able to defeat a group of swordsman, just how powerful cless is?" claimed by jessica.


    Jacob then look at the sky above him.


    "Who knows, but still, im glad we met him." claimed by jacob.

 A flash back of the tragedy. The tragic life of the half-demon.

    On his way outside the vicinity of sword knight institution, bunch of towering trees welcomed cless while walking in the man made forest of the academy.


    "Such a wide and spacious academy" claimed by cless as he walk his foot inside the shadowy and dim forest.


    sfx: Woosh


    Air around cless started to blow, whistling its sound while touching his bare skin. He then remembered his life, living in the vast forest when he was young. Living all alone, fighting beasts and monsters with his little body and his sword. A painful memory then welcomed him at that time, cless cant help himself but to close his eyes gripping his gravitational sword as much as he can.


    Ten years ago right before his life in the forest started. Cless and his family is living a peaceful life in a village located at the far south east of the kingdom of cedrillia. They are one of those people, who are peacefully living out of the kingdoms wall doing hard labor work, being commissioned by the kingdom itself. They do farm, carpentry, and mining. Most of the time, they do farm works. Among those people are the parents of cless.


    One night, a ruckus inside the clan spread out. One of their family member went berserk and killed dozens strong adventurers inside the kingdom of cedrillia. Cless at that time never did know what their true blood is. So his grandpa took him out for a walk to tell him of their history.


    "Cless, all of us here are hiding in the world while pretending to be someone else" claimed by his grand father while teaching his grandson a lesson.


    "We are a clan of half-demon blood, an enemy to mankind. If we our cover will be exposed, then its all over for us." added by him while they continued to walk.


    "Grand pa, since uncle ming got exposed, will we be alright?" claimed by cless.


    His grandpa then look at him.


    "I dont know, but if time comes that were surrounded by them, cless, you must escape. Run as far as you can, away from the sight of the humans" claimed by his grandfather. They then went into their house, where his father and mother are waiting.


    Several days after that, while him and his grand father are at the far south east of their village. A tragedy happened. There is a great battle that has happened in the tiny village of their clan. Surrounded by the mass number of human adventurers, their clan was totally annihilated.


    Bloody and covered with wounds, cless parents then appear out from the woods into the eyes of the two, cless and his grandfather. Seeing his parents barely clinging to their life, cless run towards them.


    "Father, mother" claimed by cless with a teary eyes.


    This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.


    "Cless, my son, run away from here, escape as far as you can" claimed by cless mother while gasping out of breath. She then hugged cless tightly sending her love to him. The little cless cried loudly.


    "Its fine, my son, we will be fine. We will be with you forever" claimed by cless mother as she let him go from her hands.


    "Father, go ahead and take cless far away from here. Here take this sword"claimed by the father of cless.


    Cless grand father then hurriedly took the sword and carried cless away from them.


    "Father, mother" shouted by cless.


    Several bushes of grassses and Woods welcomed cless and his grandfather during their escape. At that moment, a loud cry reverberated around them. Hearing such cry, his grandfather then hide cless on the nearby tree. His father is a half-demon too, so in most of the situation he will be found out too.


    "Cless here take this sword with you, hide here for now and never ever create a noise as much as you can, grand father will have to do something" claimed by his grand father as he started to walk away from his grandson.


    sfx : woosh


    Dozens of arrows appear immediately on the oldmans shoulder, piercing his very flesh tearing it out with the rotating pointy arrows.


    Any normal human would immediately bleed from such attack. But the oldman didnt, infact it didnt budge.


    "A DEMON!" shouted by one of the adventurer not far from him. In an instant, the oldman was surrounded by a huge number of human adventurer. The adventurers then unleashed their skills towards the old man leaving him no choice but to meet his death.


    The old man retaliated and then transformed into a massive beast.


    Seeing such a sight, cless started to tremble in fear. He then remember his grandfathers words back then.


    "What to do, grand father, what should i do?" claimed by the worried cless as he watch his grandfather battling the swarm of human around them.


    Tears once again started to fall on the edge of his eyes when he see his grandfather being slashed by several swords of the human adventurers while defending himself from the upcoming arrows around them. It was a tough battle for his grandfather defending himself from their attack.


    Bloods started to spurt out of his grandfathers body from the barrage of attack, yet he stood up and began slaying some of the human adventurers with his massive claw. Skill arrow from the hunters around them were constantly being released aiming to kill the monster infront of them. It was an hour filled with battle from the adventurers, a bloody battle of life for his grandfather. Despite of him being strong enough to defend himself, his grandfather and their clan are not trained adventurers at all, they are a bunch of farmers and laborers, knowing nothing when it comes to combat. His grandfather then transformed back into his human form.


    "Run Cless, Run " wailed by cless grandfather clinging into his life with pitiable look and blood running out of his mouth.


    Cless then cried deep inside his heart and gritted his teeth, letting his mouth shut running away far from his grandfather trying to save his own life from being killed.


    Luckily at that moment, no one noticed him escaping from his place.


    Cless then opened his eyes.


    "I''ll be fine, grand father, father and mother. As long as they dont figure out that I have a demon blood with in me. I''ll be fine" claimed by cless


    Seeing that he had walked several miles already, cless decided to go back to their dormitory.


    He was just about to turn back from his current position when suddenly, a strong surge of killing intent surrounded him. Cless then prepared himself from an upcoming fight.


    "A young swords man in the woods, I wonder how strong could you be compared to us Hunters of the Academy" claimed by the unknown human around cless.

 Hunter vs Half-Demon

    Cless turned his back to see whos aura is it coming from. He was surprised to see that the surge of intent to kill was coming from a little girl with a pink long hair.


    "One shouldnt judge someone based on their looks" claimed by cless


    "Oh so you are one of those people" asked by the little girl.


    In that moment, like the wind itself, the little girl vanished on her current position.


    Cless then raises his sword prepared to defend himself from the upcoming attack. A slight breeze of the wind then appear above his head. In that moment, an edge of the knife appear on his neck while the little girl is up mid air.


    "Die!"


    The edge of the knife then landed on cless throat, digging deeper and deeper. Cless then grabbed the blade of the knive with his left hand, taking it far away from his throat. The little girl is bewildered of such sight. She then tried to pull out the knife out of cless hands trying to inflict a slash on it. The blade was pulled out sending her away from cless. To her surprise, her blade didnt inflict any damage on cless at all.


    "I see, thick skin body skill"claimed by the girl.


    In that instant, she then unleashed a body skill and behind her, a massive purple aura in the form of a snake appear. The purple aura then started to cover her whole body giving out purple smoke around her.


    "This is one of my hunter skill: The Venomous Snake. From now on, everything that i touch will be dealt with deadly poison. I would love to see how will you defend yourself from my attack"


    "Why are you attacking me without any reason?" claimed by cless.


    "Oh you dont know the one rule inside the academy? Then let me tell you what is it. Fight and Improve. That is the main rule of academy itself" claimed by the hunter.


    "Im a Hunter, and you are a sword wielder. Isnt it a great opportunity for you to battle out a hunter like me ?" added by the girl hunter


    Cless pondered about it forawhile.


    "Plus it will also be a good experience for you and for me too. So stop blabbing out nonsense and fight me right now." claimed by the girl hunter.


    The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.


    She once again vanished in her position like the wind. Cless this time sensed out an upcoming attack on his back.


    sfx: Scratch.


    The hunters knife filled with poison scratches his back. Cless was surprised because of her attack. Not only it is filled with poison but it is filled with tremendous force too. Leaving such a scratch on his back, cless becomes serious this time.


    "That force should have weigh several tons. Strong, this little girl is strong" claimed by cless deep inside his heart.


    "I finally managed to scratch you" claimed by the little girl.


    "Its just a scratch" answered by cless.


    "You are wrong once again, I am a hunter, right now, ill show you the terrible side of my Venomous Snake skill." claimed by the little girl.


    "Unlike you swords man who fought head on with way of the  swords, we hunters are trained differently. We are trained to be swift, precise, be sly and deadly in nature. We trained our body and skill to achieve such feat. That is us hunters. The scratch that you have in your back right now is filled with my venomous aura. Any moment from now, you will probably feel sick and tired.


    Cless at that moment, suddenly feel nauseous. Cless could clearly feel that his blood are bursting one by one. In a moment, cless fall down into two, facing his palm on the ground.


    "Bit by bit, my venomous skill will destroy the insides of your body making you throw up blood." claimed by the currently walking little girl towards cless.


    Cless like what the girl say throw up a mouthful of black blood.


    "Im careless, I got poisoned" slowly claimed by cless.


    "any moment, from now on, your senses will start to break, until finally, you will die" claimed by the girl hunter.


    That moment when he heard that he will die, cless slowly regained his composure and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.


    "I will not die" spoken by cless slowly while he regulate the flow of his blood inside his body.


    "Then let me see, how will you survive yourself from your death." claimed by the little girl.


    Cless immediately stab the side of his stomach with his own sword on his hands. He exerted a huge amount of force from it, wounding himself. Blood spurted out of his body as his sword pierced through inside his stomach.


    The scene made the little girl dumbstruck. It was a great decision from cless. The only way for him to remove the poison inside his body is through wound. Blood started to leak out as he pull out the sword coming out of his stomach.


    "Thanks to you, my time is not wasted" claimed by cless as he started to regulate the flow of his blood inside his body,


    Cless then feel where the bursting of blood is coming.


    "Its pointless" claimed by little girl.


    "As long as i inflicted the poison inside your body, it''s over." claimed by the little girl.


    "If thats it, then all i need to do is to regulate my body to create an anitbody for your poison" claimed by cless to himself,


    The little girl then expanded the poison inside cless body. Cless throw up another mouthful of blood while trying his best to regulate the blood flow inside his body.


    "Such a persistent sword wielder, I told you it''s pointless. That poison is incurable" claimed by the little girl as he watched the currently sitting cross-legged cless.

 Hunter vs Half-Demon Part 2

    Cless basked in the darkness since his eyes are closed, heard something coming out from his sword.


    "Use me, your sword, Stab yourself once more."


    The voice was not that loud, but there is a hint of pulse coming from the sword itself. Hearing the swords voice. Cless immediately stab his stomach once more. Blood spurted out on his stomach as the sword once again pierced through his body.


    The little girl hunter upon seeing such situations was outspoken.


    "Are you killing yourself, i thought you will try to resist the poison inside your body?" claimed by the little girl


    "Shut up!" claimed by cless as blood started to spill out from his mouth.


    Unknown to the little girl. Cless is currently following the instruction of his sword. At that moment, the little girl noticed something on cless body. Somehow, her control to the poison itself was lost. This made the little girl be furious.


    "What did you do?" asked by the little girl.


    "Like I told you, i will not die in your hands" claimed by cless sitting crosslegged.


    What happened inside the body of cless is mainly because of his sword. One of the characteristic of his gravitational sword is its gravitation. Using his gravitational pull, the sword himself is absorbing the poison inside his body. Due to the constant pull, the aura inside cless body was shattered into pieces. This is the main reason why the little girls control to the poison was destroyed. The only thing that cless needs right now is to regulate his blood normaly while it is producing anti-body.


    Cless then pull out his sword from being pierced inside his body and stood up. He then opened his eyes setting his vision towards the little girl. Though blood are dripping out of his wounds, cless still composed himself and begun wielding his sword.


    The little girl hunter then prepared for her next attack.


    "Seeing you at your current condition, makes me loose the will to fight, however a fight is still a fight" claimed by the little girl.


    "Thats right, that makes it more exciting" claimed by cless.


    "Now ill show you my next ability. Try to avoid it as much as you can." claimed by the little girl.


    At that moment, the little girl blew out a massive poisonous smoke from her little mouth. It then immediately scattered around cless. Cless immediately hold his breath moving away from his current position. Blood dripped unto the ground as cless feet started to run. Behind him was the little girl constantly sending out a breath of poison. Cless dont have a choice but to run.


    Stolen story; please report.


    "Run , little swords man, run " claimed by the little girl hunter.


    Suddenly cless stopped from his escape. Cless action made the little girl laugh wildly.


    "So you accepted your defeat?" asked by the little girl.


    At that instant, the whole area around cless was covered by a massive whirlwind. It then cleared out the poisonous smoke around leaving only but a fresh air. Glints of yellow light, flashes on cless eyes.


    "You think lowly of me little hunter. Wake up Juryoku(assistant.)" claimed by cless.


    In a blink of an eye, the whirlwind vanished around them. On the blade of cless sword, there appear a carved image of a dragon. It then started to light up with a bright red color of fire comparable to a hot iron rod taken out from the oven of fire. He then swifrly swinged the sword in the air, and a terrible wooshing sound appear around them. It was as if a massive portion of the air around them is splitted by the sword itself.


    "Time for a payback" claimed by cless.


    Unknown to the little girl, cless has succesfully disintegrate the poison inside his body. Thanks to his demon blood, an immediate antibody was created inside his body. This is the main reason why, all of a sudden he could move in a lively state.


    Cless then charged towards the little hunter. At that time, the little hunter send out another trick skill. The snake formed aura behind her went out to meet cless. It then immediately wrapped cless trying to tear him up. Cless with the use of his sword gave out a sword strike in response. His sword pierced through to the aura, instantly destroying it to pieces.


    This scene made the little girl open her mouth wide. It was her aura after all that was shattered by the sword of cless. As swift as the wind, cless immediately went near to the little hunter. The little hunter then summoned another aura of beast behind her. This time, it is in a formed of a bear. It then enveloped her in a split second, and with her knife on both hands, she too charged towards cless.


    The two of them then battle out in a melee form. Their weapons crossed with each other sending out a screeching sound. The little hunter then send out a barrage of knife slashes towards cless. Cless on the other hand defended it with his sword. Whenever cless could see an opportunity, he too wont hesitate to take the initiative to send out sword strike to the liltte hunter. Flickering flint of light started to appear whenever their weapons collide. None of the two of them hold back on the melee fight.


    At that moment, the little girl send out a kick and slash combo attack to cless. Cless on the other leaned his body to its side trying to avoid the first kick attack and with his sword, he then defended the upcoming knife attack.


    The two of them retracted for awhile from their fight sending out complimentary words to each other.


    "You are doing pretty well under such wounds" claimed by the little girl.


    "This wounds are nothing" claimed by cless.


    "Is that so" added by the little girl. She then charged once more towards cless sending out another combination of attack.


    Rotating kick filled with a massive aura flew out towards cless. Cless with his sword defended it. The aura touched the sword sending it with full force towards cless. Cless gripped his sword tightly trying to retract the kick, and he was able to do so. To his surprise another series of knife attack landed in front of him. This time, cless lean out his body to its side dodging all of the attack at once.


    After it, seeing such an oppening, cless then send out a swift, heavy and forceful swordstrike to the little girl. The little girl then noticed the change of atmosphere around them. In a split second, she then retracted away from cless. At that moment, a massive sword slash flew out out of cless blade tearing out anything that passes on its way.


    Seeing such a massive strike, the little girl gave out a big breath of relief.


    "I dodge it" claimed by the little girl

 Hunter vs Half-Demon Part 3

    Cless then went straight to the little girl with his sword. In a far you might actually see him bullying a little girl. But if you look at it closely, it was the litte girl who was bullying him. She dodge every swift sword strike that cless send out.


    "Young swordsman, what is your name?" asked by the little girl hunter.


    "Klouster Cless." claimed by cless.


    "My name is Xia Yunfei" claimed by the little girl.


    The two bouts once again striking their weapons to each other. Screeching of blades resounded around them. This time the little girl send out another knife strikes towards cless. With his sword blade cless then retracted the knifes shifting them far away from him.


    "For you to be able to withstand my attack while my killer bear aura is up, you are a good swordsman cless" claimed by Xia Yunfei


    "I''ll take that as a compliment." claimed by cless.


    "Lets end this battle with our final move. I know you are hiding something from me, specially that sword of yours" claimed by Xia Yunfei.


    "Fine " claimed by the bloody cless.


    At that moment, the aura behind xia yunfei changes into something that is similar to a massive form of a scythe.


    "This is my last hunter skill: final gambit. This allows me to boost my speed and strength in an unimaginable height. Im warning you, if you dont do your best shot this time, only death awaits you cless" claimed by the little girl xia yunfei.


    "Then i shall not hold back then" claimed by cless.


    Cless then adusted the weight of his gravitational sword into an unimaginable weight. Both of his arms portruded due to such weight coming from his sword. He then raises it above his head preparing himself for a massive sword slash.


    "Your Scythe or My Sword" claimed by cless.


    He then closed his eyes, trying to synchronized his pulse to the pulse of his sword. After that he then started to concentrate himself preparing to send out a massive sword slash.


    "Here I go cless" shouted by the little girl.


    The massive aura of scythe behind xia yunfei send out a massive wave slash towards cless. Cless on the other hand strike down his sword sending out a gigantic sword slash too. Both of their wave slashes flew out swiftly colliding with each other at the same time.. The atmosphere around them suddenly changes as their wave slash cross at each other. Shockwave filled with concentrated air travelled around them making the both of the duelers send back several meters away from their current position. Screaching sound reverberated around them clearly stating that each of their slashes are powerful enough to tear out the air around them.


    If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    In a moment of time, the gigantic sword slash of cless pushed the wave slash of litte girl yunfei.


    "Unbelievable" claimed by the little hunter.


    She then send out another wave of slash, pushing her first wave slash even more, trying to retaliate from the enormous and gigantic sword slash of cless. But still it is not enough to cope up with its massive force. It continue to push her wave slash even further towards her. Not little later after that, her wave attack finally shattered into pieces, cless gigantic sword slash went through. At that instant the little girl hunter xia yunfei shifted her aura into another form. A massive aura of shield then enveloped her protecting her from the upcoming gigantic sword slash of cless.


    Cless on the other hand cannot believe of what he just did. He recognizes such slash. It was exactly similar to the sword slash that his uncle, the monk performed when they are both practicing above the mountain.


    "Force, so its force uncle. Just how powerful are you uncle? to be able to send out such forceful slash with ease." asked by cless to himself.


    At that same time, the gigantic sword slash finally covered the little hunter xia yunfei sending her far away while being dragged by the massive force of it. Several wood around the sword slash was shattered into pieces by its massive force. Xia yunfei on the other hand was lucky enough to receive half of its strength. Still, blood spilled out of her mouth while defending herself from the massive slash.


    The man made wood forest in the nearby vicinity of the sword knight institution suddenly have another diversion road from it, thanks to cless massive sword strike. Several moments later, the gigantic sword slash vanished on both of their sight leaving the currently down xia yunfei filled with blood on her mouth. She was laying down on the ground gasping out for breath. Around her were her thin aura of shield barely holding out from the massive attack.


    Seeing his sword slash vanished, cless then run to where the sword slash stopped, trying to check her opponents side. On his way, he cant help himself but be outspoken of how powerful the slash is. Several moments later, cless finally arrive to the place where the slash vanished. On his eyes, the little girl with pink hair is now too pititful to look at. Slices of wounds are clearly seen on her dress and a trace of blood flow could be clearly seen on both side of her mouth.


    Cless then send his sword to the hunters throat.


    "Surrender now, it is clearly my win xia yunfei" claimed by cless.


    Seeing her current state, the little girl have no other way of retaliating to her opponent. Seeing no other way, the little hunter finally give in.


    "I lose, its your win cless" claimed by the little hunter.


    "You can rest for now my blade "juryoku" (assistant) "claimed by cless as his gravitational sword changes back unto its original form.


    Cless then retrieved his sword and send it back on its sheath. The little hunter this time dismissed her shield aura and started to shift into another form. This time her whole body is covered with green light trying to heal every wound that is inflicted around her. She then slowly stood up facing cless.


    "You are truly a skilled hunter xia yunfei" claimed by cless.


    "Not as skilled as you sword wielder cless. It has been while since ive enjoyed myself on a match" claimed by the little hunter.


    "Seeing that your wounds are healing on their own, i have to leave you now. I still have things to do" claimed by cless.


    "Yeah you can leave me now. I''ll remember this match, and one day i''ll get back on to you cless" claimed by xia yunfei.


    "Say whatever you want, ill continue to beat you up when the time comes" answered back by cless.


    Cless then turn his way back to the man made forest trail heading his way back to the sword knight institution. On his way he then checked his wounds. Thanks to his demon blood, his wounds are now healed leaving no trace of slash at all, and so that day cless was able to enjoy his suspension through fighting. Thanks to the hunter xia yunfei, cless motivation on practicing his sword grows up even more.

 The characteristic of his Sword. Half-Demon and the gravitational sword

    The next day, cless started out his day fixing his room. He then fix himself and started to move his feet unto the roof top. He is suspended for the whole week thus, he has no other way but to use his own time. Just as he is about to reach the last step of the stairs, there he saw jacob with his sword coming down to the stairs where he is in.


    "Oh cless, glad to meet you here at the right time." claimed by jacob.


    "What are you doing here?"asked by cless.


    "Just finished practicing my sword, im about to head down now"claimed by jacob.


    "I see, thats good then" claimed by cless as he make his last step from the stairs reaching the rooftop. It was a wide open room, fit to be called a training ground.


    "Want to spar?" asked by jacob.


    "No, thanks. I can manage" resisted by cless.


    "We''ve heard about you yesterday. The whole class of class C now hates you cless. Except me and jessica. Well its understandable for them. Ever since you almost killed that senior swordsman, the seniors are giving us a hardtime during duel battle. For me and jessica, its a fine training but for the others its not. They even call it as torture." claimed by jacob.


    "It cant be help, if theyre weak enough to call it torture then it just only justify that they are really weak" claimed by cless.


    "Not only that, it seems like all of them are also eyeing the time wherein you will return. Which is why, I am warning you right now cless." claimed by jacob.


    "Thats even more fine by me" claimed by cless.


    "By the way, since you are suspended for a week, teacher hiji said that your allowance will also be deducted by 70 points. He also said that if you want to gain more points, you are free to join the academys colloseum. Since its your free time, he also insisted that you should try fighting inside." added by jacob.


    "Nah thanks, ill be fine for now. However, if I continue to loose points then I''ll give it a try." claimed by cless.


    "You dont understand, we novice are given an allowance of 50 points this time. Since you were deducted of 70 points. You are practically in debt to teacher hiji himself. Im afraid you would starve to death if you dont have points cless, as you know, you would need atleast 5 points to provide for your food and water inside the academy. If you win inside the colloseum you might be able to win atleast 5 points. Enough for you to sustain your daily needs." claimed by jacob.


    "Then in that case i guess i have no other choice." claimed by cless.


    Jacob nodded in response.


    Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.


    "The colloseum will open every 10 o''clock of the morning. It still six in the morning, you still have four hours of time to walk your way into the colloseum" Added by jacob.


    "Thanks, then ill head my way now. Thanks jacob" claimed by cless.


    "Not good, having no food is a terrible choice" added by him as went down to the ground floor running his way heading out to the academies colloseum. The academies colloseum is right at the center portion of the academy itself, it is just beside the sky tower.of the academy. Jacob then arrived at the colloseums gate after an hour of rush running with his feet where in he was welcomed by the colloseums guard.


    "Hello lively sword wielder. It seems you are in a rush" claimed by the guard as he saw cless gasping out for his breath.


    "Well, no time to rush, its still 7 o''clock in the morning, you still have three hours left before it would finally open. Are you here to participate on this days Colloseum Battle?" asked by the guard.


    "Yes, how can i register myself on the battle?" answered and asked by cless at the same time."


    "I see, then, follow me and i''ll lead you to the registration booth." claimed by the guard of the colloseum.


    The two of them then went inside of the colloseums entrance. Cless then saw a small size room around it. Inside of it, a girl is inside waiting for the upcoming students that will register themselves on the colloseums fight.


    "Good morning and welcome dear student, are you hear to participate in the colloseums fight?" asked by the girl.


    "Yes"claimed by cless.


    "Thats good, here, take this paper and pen. Try to write your colloseum name on it and please wait inside the colloseum for now." claimed by the girl receptionist.


    Cless then wrote his colloseum name on the paper using the pen. He then submitted it to the receptionist.


    "So your colloseum name is Cless, here is your contender number number 33. Later when the colloseum fight start, you will be called by your contender number. Be sure to keep it as much as possible. Thank you for participating in the colloseum." says by the girl receptionist.


    "Thank you" claimed by cless


    Seeing that cless has finished registering his name on colloseums booth, the guard then escorted cless on the colloseums waiting room. It was a large hall only intended for the participants of the fight.


    "The entire hall is empty for now. You are an early bird, so you should have a hell of a time to wait. Later this room will be filled with lots of participants. Just wait here for now until the colloseum is finally open. I''ll leave you for now young one and good luck on your fight." claimed by the guard as he started to move his feet back to the main entrance of the colloseum.


    Meanwhile, since he still have his time, cless then unsheated his gravitational sword and started practicing it inside the hall. Cless then closed his eyes and started synchronizing his pulse unto the sword. He then checked the skills that are recorded inside the swords soul. Right after confirming it, cless then started his sword practice.


    "Verde(assistant) 100 times gravitational force" claimed by cless.


    At that moment, the gravitational force around cless jumped out by several leaps. The ground behind him cracked down caving itself down a little bit. He then started to swing his sword mid air while being basked by such an intense gravitational force.


    "1 strike. . .2 strikes. . .3 strikes. . ." claimed by cless as he practiced his kendo once more.


    Cless himself could feel the strong force currently pushing him down from his head to his toe crushing him into bit. Yet cless resisted the intense force around him, while sending out strikes of sword seriously.


    "So this is the true nature of my gravitational sword" claimed by cless to himself while he strikes his sword in the air.


    "No wonder why uncle is so strong, he too probably trained his own body under this situation, or perhaps even more" claimed by cless as he continued practicing his kendo under such intense gravitaional force.


    "11 strikes. . .12 strikes. . .13 strikes" claimed by cless.

 The Half-Demon Inside the Colloseums Arena.

    After 3 hours of slashing his sword in the air, cless then retracted his sword.


    "Rest for now" spoken by cless as he sheated his sword back.


    There are currently no people around him, so cless continued to wait while resting his whole body from sword practice. Little later, one by one, students like him started to gather around the hall where he is resting.


    "So it seems like, the crowd will start only appearing in exact 10 o''clock of the morning" claimed by cless.


    He then saw their wielded weapons. They are wielding weapons of different kind. Cless could clearly see that these participants comes from the four institution of the academy. Cless then set himself far from them waiting on the sideline. He then sits on the ground cross-legged gathering his energy once more, trying to save it for his upcoming fight.


    Many of the participants who noticed him questioned his age. It is clear to them that he is still a novice wielder and quite fresh inside the academy.


    "This guy is looking down on the colloseums pride. He should be out there in the school practicing his sword skill" claimed by one of the participant.


    Some of the participants just lets him be and focus on their ownself.


    Several minutes later, the colloseum started announcing the opening ceremony. Many of the participants inside the hall were hyped up.


    "Finally, time to fight again and gain some points" claimed by one of the participants wielding sword.


    "Only one person is new here rackan, that guy over there." claimed by one of the participants wielding a shield.

    "A Novice? Get outta here" yelled out by the crowd.


    "Yeah Get outta here you are only bringing shame to yourself" yelled out by the other participant on the crowd.


    The crowd around cless suddenly becomes noisy starting to tear down his concentration.

    "Rank 330?now you are dead novice. To be able to face a 300 ranker colloseum fighter. This novice is out of luck" claimed by the other participants.

Another participant move out of the crowd. He is a well built bald martial artist. He is the one in named is oba. The two of them then faced off inside the arenas ring.

    A sword cut coming from the sword of cless appear on the martial artists body. It almost cut the martial artist into two. Luckily he unleashed his aura first. Due to it, some of the force coming from the sword of cless was absorbed by the martial artists aura.


    "How, how did you do that?" asked by the currently knocked down martial artist.


    "You are clearly strong, theres no question to that." claimed by cless


    He then sheated his sword back.


    "Only that, I am stronger" claimed by cless


    Seeing a bloody fight, the medical personal arround the colloseum immediately move their feet towards the ring. They then carried the martial artist out of the ring.


    At that moment, the colloseums speaker announced the winner of the first match.


    "The winner of the first match is the Novice swordsman, Cless" announced by the speaker.


    Even the speaker himself is outspoken because of the fight. It was his first time seeing such a fight. A novice student defeating a coloseum ranker in a split second.

    Hearing such an achievement on his first fight inside the colloseum, cless nodded in response. A hint of delight is reflected on cless face while heading his feet back towards the crowd of participants inside the colloseums hall.


    Every one was left in silence as cless walk his foot towards them. He then went back to the sideline far from the crowd of people around him.


    " A novice defeating a 300 ranker?" asked by one of the participants.


    "In just one strike too" added by the participants besides him.


    At that moment, the speaker of the colloseum then announced the next contender. Every ones attention were then shifted on to the next contenders match.

 Half-Demon, Killing an isekai hero

    Inside the sword knight institute, there exist a power ranking. Whoever gets to the top will be recorded and be recognized by the dean himself. Among all of those strong and power ranker sword wielder inside the sword knight institute was a man named Thomas. Unknown to everyone, thomas is an otherworlder swordsman and probably the oldest swordsman when it comes to soul cultivation. He lives three lifes, and was named as the world strongest swordsman in both of his past life. Right before his death, he used a certain cultivation technique that will surely transferred his soul unto anothers body.


    After he perform his cultivation technique, his soul was transferred into another body. That body was sent into the current timeline where in our main character, cless is in. Moving back to the story, thomas heard of the novice swordsman who was suspended on his first day of class. He also heard of his whereabouts from the vicinity of the sword knight institution and the cedrillian academies colloseum. Thinking of the power ranking, thomas wanted to meet this novice swordsman personally. So that day, thomas went into the novice dormitories of the sword knight institute.


    Meanwhile, our main hero, cless barely gets himself up out of slumber. Right after fixing himself and his room, he then started practicing his swords soul. While sitting cross-legged and his eyes are close, cless is constantly synchronizing his blood on his sword. Inside his consciousness, cless could clearly see the soul of his sword. On it were severals sword skill written on it. Among the skills that were written, he cannot help but look unto the skill which is named as Soul Ripping Skill. He then went near into the skill to figure out what is this skill all about.


    Just as he hover his hands unto the floating skill. An immediate information then rushed towards his consciousness. According to the information. Soul Ripping Skill, is a dark forbidden skill that destroy and annihilate once soul into nothingness. The moment cless learned of such skill, he then started memorizing the spell of the soul ripping skill. Right after that, inside his consciousness, another surprising event happened. To his surprise, a sword skill hover in to the air and landed right on his hands. Cless then opened the skill scroll and started to read the name of the skill himself.


    "Isekai Locator?" claimed by cless inside his consciousness.


    "This skill once learned, allows the user to trace any abnormal human who lives more than one lives in his life. What kind of skill is this?" claimed by cless.


    But since, the skill landed on its own on his hands. Cless then give it a try and learn the skill himself. It took him couple of hours of self recitation before he memorized the passive skill isekai locator, and right after that, he opened his eyes and started performing the ritual dance for the passive skill. He then started to dance comparable to an ancient cult while being bathed by word spells in the air. After several minutes, the passive skill that he had learned then gived him a tattoo on his arms. It was in a form of sun. Cless then cleaned up once more and started to head out for the colloseum.


    Just at that moment, a sudden knock on his rooms door welcomed cless instead. He opened it, and right before his eyes appear a young man with a white hair and a sword on his back.


    This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.


    "Are you Klouster Cless?" claimed by the white hair guy.(This guy is none other than the isekai thomas)


    "Yes, thats me" answered back by cless. To his surprise, the sun tattoo on his back started to produce heat on his arm. The sudden heat, alarmed cless.


    "Is this person, perhaps, an isekai?"claimed by cless to himself.


    "Im here to challenge you and your sword for a fight. Fight me cless" asked by the thomas guy arrogantly.


    "Sure, lets head into the roof top, im pretty sure its vacant" claimed by cless. Now, based on the speech given to him by the unfamiliar guy, cless is now sure that this guy is an isekai.


    Cless closed the door to his room and together they head of unto the roof top. As expected cless was right, the roof top is empty, totally empty. The two of them then unleashed their sword.


    "Im warning, you , i might kill you this time. I cannot let someone like you to run around the sword knight institute injuring sword wielder at your own whim." claimed by thomas.


    "Not a problem, as long you have the means to defeat me, then thats fine. After all, ive just obtain a sword skill that is perfect for you. Isekai" claimed by cless.


    The word isekai, made the swordsman thomas to be taken aback. He knows the word isekai is.


    "How does he know that i am a guy who have live several life?" claimed by thomas to himself.


    At that moment, cless started to talk by himself. Unknown to thomas, cless is now performing the enchantment spell for cless sword "Soul Ripping Skill". Cless then made a deep cut on his hands. He then lets blood to be spilled on his gravitational swords blade.


    "Im ready now isekai" claimed by cless.


    In an instant, thomas charged towards his oppent cless. To his surprise, a massive force appear above him. Never did he realized that cless have already released his soul ripping skill towards him. Thomas then feels as if his soul is being taken away from him.


    "You, how could you." claimed by thomas towards cless.


    "AHAHAHA, In the end, you are one of those people. Relying yourself on an immortal cultivation skill. I know you people, you Isekai People" claimed by cless as he walks towards his currently kneeling opponent.


    "Luckily, thanks to my sword, ive learned of your existence, if not, im afraid i would terribly fail to defeat you at all. Isekai" claimed by cless once more.


    Cless then let his blade touched thomas forehead.


    "NO!!!!!!!!" Shouted by the currently kneeling thomas while grieving to his heart content. If he just didnt go on his way to provoke cless, perhaps, their life wont get tangled on. If he just continued walking on his own way, perhaps, his soul wont be ripped apart at all. For an isekai hero like him, soul is his one and only greatest asset. To have his soul be ripped apart, means total death. Pitty, the moment cless sword blade touched thomas forehead, as swift as the wind, thomas soul was shattered into pieces. Cless then dragged the soul less body of thomas to the dormitories land lord.


    "Is he dead?" claimed by the landlord.


    "I dont know, this idiot passes right away right before our duel started" claimed by cless


    Unknown to cless, several strong personalities with in the academy noticed the sudden disappearance of thomas soul presence. One of them even witnessed their fight.


    "To think that that young novice would be able to kill thomas soul. He even knows of what isekai is. This young mans existence is a danger to us. I must inform master of this incident." claimed by the unknown person.


    That time, a soul less body of a reknown swordsman in the sword knight institution was sent into the nearby hospital for an intensive care. On the other hand, cless moved his way back to the cedrillian academys colloseum.


    "That idiot wasted my time." claimed by cless as he walk on his feet towards the pathway.

    On his way to arena, cless once again felt a terrible heat on his tattoo.


    "Another Isekai?" Claimed by cless.


    He then look around the crowd around him to figure out who among them is an Isekai. Yet he failed to do so.


    "Such a shame, if only I could point out which among them is an isekai"claimed by cless as he went on his way to the colloseum.


    Meanwhile not far from him another man recognize cless as he walk on the street.


    "The novice swordsman" claimed by the unknown figure.


    He then followed cless on the shadows of the crowd heading towards the colloseum. Meanwhile cless on the other hand didn''t even noticed that he is being followed by an unknown guy.

    "Not Bad for a novice like you. You know there''s a trick that i do like to share to you inside the arena. It''s all about how to gain more points." Claimed by cless.


    Thinking of his current points, cless is indeed in need of it.


    "As you know, most of the top ranker in the arena are held high by the academy. They hold a certain position on the academy which allows them to be able to train on their own and be exempted on the school work. Not only that, they were also given a great amount of points every month, enough for them to enjoy their stay inside the academy for a year.

    "I see, then all I need to do today is to challenge someone which is stronger than me, is that right sir?" Asked by cless.


    "Yes, the stronger your opponent, the more points you could win. However, I would like to warn you. Most of the top 10 rankers are incredibly strong. They''re even held as immortals by the students here. It is all because of they''re unshakened position in the colloseum. Among them I know one ranker who is even recognized by the dean of the academy himself. I guess that''s it for now, I might have taken much of your time" claimed by the guard.


    "I see thanks sir, I''ll remember all of that"claimed by cless as he walk towards the registration boot.


    Meanwhile, an unknown figure who have kept on following cless halted his foot from any further pursuit.

    "Thanks" claimed by cless. He then went inside the colloseum, and started to move his feet unto the crowd of participants.


    "Isn''t that the novice swordsman yesterday?" Asked by one of the participants.


    The crowd then noticed his presence and started to talk about him. Cless didn''t bother them and instead went into the sidelines.


    Moments later, the colloseums arena started their opening match. Cless on the other hand closed his eyes and started to meditate with his sword. While his consciousness is basked by the darkness, cless could clearly feel his sword, beating its pulse.

    "How in heavens did he killed the clones?."


    At that moment of time, hunter yeri is also processing her braincells. She is unable to gasp everything on her front. Her eyes are wide her mouths are opened wide and a clear droplet of sweat is on her forehead slowly dripping on her face. Then she asked her own self "Is he trying to say.".


    "You better surrender yourself. I don''t want to hurt a woman with my blade.". Said by cless.


    Pissed with the guys statement,she dashed toward cless with her own feet. In just an instant she appeared on his front. Trying to stuck his knife on cless visible neck. But in just a sec, a scorching heat did appear on her stomach. It did start to feel like she is being burn to dust. Then what comes next did suddenly start to make here field dim. She is slowly being devoured by the darkness. In just a second, hunter yeri flew out of the ring. With a single strong punch, she flew like a catapult pasted on the nearby wall. Everyone one on the coloseum is outspoken once more. One popcorn then did fall unto the ground. A beer can too followed the same. All of their eyes went round trying to say that they are still processing the events. Finally one man then did shouted saying "I WIN.".


    Then what comes next is like a tsunami of complements. Roaring of cheers went wild as they start to rejoice. Not because of the novice swordsman win but because of their bets. One audience did smashed his cap onto the floor. "I lost.". "You better put your bet on the novice swordsman next time.". "My bad.". The whole coloseum then did start to rejoice more trying to hail the novice swordsman from his fight. Meanwhile the announcer did voice out saying. "Player of the match. Novice swordsman Cless. WINS". cless dragged his asses out of the coloseum trying to hide himself from the crowd, preparing for his upcoming fight. "That''s another point. I still have a long way to go. " said by the swordsman. "Go fetch the sleeping hunter and send her to the hospital. Make it sure that she''s still alive.". "Alive?. Is she still alive?.". Carried by the medic, the hunter yeri is sent out of the field. At that moment, unknown to everyone, one ranker is just watching the fight. It was none other than the top ten ranker of the academy "Ranker Jericho". He then did gave out a jeering smile trying to mock novice swordsman man cless. "Not that bad. Still mada mada dane. You still have a long way to go to beat me. Novice swordsman cless.".

 The son of a marquess

    "That punk is seriously facing a grand elite warrior. How in heaven is he going to fight jericho. I better coach him or else my dear pupil won''t even reach the knighthood.". A brute mentor then did send something on his pet. It was a well trained dove. White dove carrying a simple message on its feet. "Go peachy, and get that guy moving.". The bird did flew out and it went to the so called coloseum. He look for a certain someone and it did landed on his hand. A bird carrying a message appear on someone inside inside colloseum. He then did gave out a smile and he said "who is this cless klouster. Why is he luring me unto him. Though I am not a ranker, but I myself is pretty strong too. A duel with him huh. Wait. Klouster cless.". Then he remember the previous announcement and he bump his fist. "The one who challenge jericho. Not bad Bart. Sure.". He stood up on his sit and he went for the nearby arena then he said "ITS been a while since i took up a fight. Time to harness my swordsmanship.". He then did went to the colloseum officer and he immediately mark cless. "Are you really sure my sure lord.". The guy then did nodded and he start to do some regular warm up drills. He then did look at the arena trying to compose his own intent. A short glimpse of him fighting on it did appear. His victories and streak, then he said "I dont even know this guy. Will I end my steak or not. Let me see how strong you are my soon friend.". He went out of the colloseums office and he went on the waiting area of the arena. His sudden appearance caught the attention of all of the participants. They all did started to bow their heads trying to give respect.


    "What is his highness doing here?."


    "Probably, he is going to attend the party."


    "Its been awhile since we saw him fight on stage. I pity the next victim."


    "Thats right, poor guy."


    At that moment above the stadium the announcer saw something which is unfathomable. He scratch his hair and he said "This is tragedy.". Unknown to him, the microphone is on and the moment he heard it being delivered inside and out of the arena, he lost his spirit was immediately drained. Like a professional, the show must continue and he said "HIS highnes, the son of marquis Jacques decided to enter the match. Next match will be his highness haru vs the novice swordsman cless.". At that moment, lots of audiences went nuts. Most of them did stood up while rising their arms. One guy on the audience sit with a bulging eyes and wide open mouth said "The novice swordsman?.". "Yes the one who rolled out just awhile ago.". "His highness haru?.". "It was announced just a moment.". He sit on the chair and he said "Will he die?.". "I dont know, so far his highness streak is recorded on arena.". One man then did stuck his popcorn on the over acting guy and he said "Your repeating yourself, your repeating yourself.". Out of the colloseum, cless acquaintances went nuts. Most of them are the seniors whom he beaten to pulp. "Tje lunatic first year is on the move. What is he doing? Is he that so eager to die?.". "We fought him once, and he sent us to this nursery. Maybe he do really have a chance. ". At that moment the seniors who are beaten to pulp remember their tragic past. They saw a demon with a simple dark katana, humiliating them like a scratch. Their sharp blade went rust, their swords turns unto a bamboo sword unable to penetrate such guys skin. Then a sour face appear on every one of them. "That brat, though is our little junior, and though he beaten us up to pulp. He should not have wasted his life fighting his highness haru.". "I agree, let''s just pray that he will survive the fight.". A nurse then did suddenly appear tending the patients covered with bandages. They are beyond tormented by their junior. Out of the nursery, cless home room teacher went even nuts. He punched the table enough to alarm his students, cless classmates. "Focus on meditation deepshits. Forget about that guy, find the soul of your sword . That damn punk. Why did he choose to fight his highness haru". Jacob and the other girl made a sour face, deep in their hearts they regret that they knew cless klouster and they rejected him as their friend. Hearing their teacher heji, their hearts were sunk on a cold water, clearly stating their innocence. "I hate him. First rank 10 jericho, and now his facing the son of a marquess.". Said by jacob inside his heart. Teacher heiji with his bamboo sword then did show off and he started to smash it to the unfocused student. Out of the school, someone who is the main culprit of such announcement, laughed so hard, then he said "Good luck to you. I hope you will survive such fight. I know you are out of points. Hungry for food. Take this as my help to you junior. If you beat the marquis son, you will earn fortune. If you lost, then that means i did finally saved you from jerichos gasp. That guy, Is a maniac. God luck to you.". Back to the arena, the gazes of the audience were sent to cless. Deep in their hearts they are mourning, they said "He''s dead.".

 The marquis arrived

    Tic toc tic toc tic. One man then did take a gulp on his throat as he saw an untimely participant on arena. Tension on the viewers sits did fill the whole arena. Some of them then did halt their snacks and focused their eyes on the stage alone. Such tension is created by one man. He is none other than the royal son, the son of the kingdoms marquis. He wields nothing, wear nothing shabby and strong metal plate, he wear nothing but himself alone. On the other side one man holding a katana did enter the stage, he knows nothing about his opponent, he wields his sword as a sword practitioner, he wields himself on the stage to gain more points, title and prestige. He fought his way so he could sustain his academy life. "So you are cless, nice to meet you.". "How do you know me? And why in reasons did you want to fight me?.". "One man did send your name on my list. He is my master. You are about to face the kingdoms top ten elite. So as for me, you can take it as my part of doing my role on this kingdom. As a welcome gift.". At that moment, he suddenly vanished mid air. In just a second, he arrived at cless back. A sudden back stab did appear and the marquis sons fist touched cless.


    "Its over. He touched the marquis sons fist.".


    "He will surely die.".


    "Adventurers skill number 15: exploding poison. Once my poisoned skill touches you, every bit of your nerves will erupt causing the blood circulations of your body to be stopped. Too bad, no one knows of my hunter skills.".


    However at that moment, a sword slash did welcomed the marquiss. The slash did travel on the marquess sons upper body reaching its belly. The blade of the novice swordsman then did start to move on and create one more stab to the heart. When at that moment a golden necklace did floated up. It was filled with white lights trying to relay a message from someone else. Then what comes next did made all of the viewers on arena stood up. "No, no, it''s over, immediately evacuate. Immediately evacuate.". The once bragging and voluptuous mouth of the opponent were lost. His eyes went white saying he''s lost it, he is out, out of misery. In just a minute, he is defeated by a mere novice. Then What comes next is a 12 layer of magic array. It floated up mid air and what appears next is another sort of troublesome guy. While everything inside the arena is in chaos. Someone out of the field did saw the magical array. It was none other than the bulky and brute swordsman. "Not good, not good, why is the marquis here?. Why in heavens did he appear out of nowhere.". He then did dragged his foot back to the colloseum. At that moment even the academys Hall leader is in shocked. His mouth is open wide and deep inside he said"Who In hell did made the marquis commit an absence on duty making him visit my academy. Not good, maybe something did really happen.". He stood up and he start to use his magic to immediately evaluate the situation. There he saw everything, the marquis son is laying unto the ground, covered with blood. He then did flicked his finger and he asses the situation. Pore sweat on his forehead did appear, he cursed inside saying "Thats the son of a marquis, a marquis, marquis, son of...How will I explain myself here. Should I hide myself, or should I abandon this academy.. why did, he, he entered the arena?. When did he, when did he.. when did he.". Yet at that moment, a loud roar resurface saying "HOW DARE YOU". The entire stadium is filled with pressure it almost sent everyone on the ground, pulping them into pieces. Cless himself is not affected on it. " !!!!". A sudden portal did appear, and a mighty valiant marquis wearing mighty armor appear. He landed on the stage and he started to wreck havoc. In a split of second, he gave out a strong punch to cless. Like a bullet, cless himself flew out. Once again, in a split of second, the marquis did appear nearby cless and he kicked him up. He was like a ping-pong ball being mutilated by a royal Knight. The marquis did appear mid air and he gave him a strong downward punch. Once again cless fell like a meteorite. In a sec, the marquis did appear on the ground floor and he took him by his hand, he then did smashed him from left to right, like a wet clothe being dried as a laundry. He then did took him and raise him with his hand. Then he send barrage punches on the young ones body. He looked at his sons his bloody son covered with red dyed of blood and his rage raises even more. He then did gave one last punch on the poor cless, aiming to his Heartz and just like that, like a catapult, cless himself went crushing to the colloseums wall. Boulders and stones did appear as the poor swordsman crushes on his own. At that moment, the head of the colloseums did appear, with the use of his magic he started to make the marquis be calm. "Heavenly Royal knight, marquis jacquess, I apologise for your sons demise. Let my best priest and acolyte tend to your sons wound.". The marquis did nodded and he went near to his son. Veterans of priesthood, three magic practitioner did appear and started to heal the young royalty. "Is he okay?". Asked by the marquis. "He will.". However the priest is definitely in shock, he looked at the person who was brutally torned by the marquis and he cannot help himself but be amazed. At that instant, one brute guy did appear inside the colloseum. He look at the stage and there he saw the marquis himself. He immediately run towards him and gave him a salute. "Paladin Reporting. I''m sorry marquis jacquess, it is my fault that your son is sent to such state.''. The marquis hear him and he stood up. "Its fine, besides I have already pay him my revenge. He is safe now, he is now on your hands.". He tapped the brute guys shoulder and all of a sudden, bit by bit. The marquis gauntlet started to fall, Shredded and torn.

    "!!!!!!!".


    He looked at his gauntlet and was shocked of such things. Even the brute is also shocked. He then did start to walk towards the shredded clews trying to confirm things. There he saw a strong man, brutally shreded by something that none other would ever resists. By himself alone, he stood and there he saw a brave guy with out backer nor any strong influence on his back. Holding his katana defending himself from such strikes.


    "Interesting.".


    The marquis did shouted and he said "Oi preist. After taking care of my son, take care of this guy.". The priest nodded and he then did went to the mutilated cless. "To be able to make me loose my weapon with such katana. And he did withstood my pressure, me as a marquis of this kingdom is grateful. To see a young valiant Knight on this colloseum is enough.". He then did checked the guy and he looked at his son "Plus, he did gave his work to my son.". He went to the academys Dean and he wave his hand. "Everything is fine now. You may now rest in peace. As for you, better took care of my son from now on.". "Yes marquis." Bowed by the brute guy. That day the entire schedule of the colloseum is postponed due to unnecessary and untimely visitor. That day, a great new were spread saying "The marquis sons streak is defeated. One man is down, marquis took his revenge". That day two, one holy Knight did gave out a wide laugh. It was none other than top ranker jericho.

 "Knight hood".

    "Atta boy... you did survive the marquis rage.". The brute guy did tapped the still on nursery cless. "Marquis, one of the royal Knight is one of the top 4 protector of this kingdom. His brute strength is hundred times compared to mine. None of his opponent would survive his fist, not even his rage.". The brute punk did rubbed his hands and he starts to wonder far from horizon. Diamonds and twinkling star are pasted on his eyes. He then did start to think far beyond seeing him being promoted as a Dean. He saw his student becoming a Knight. Then he saw his still on a bandage student. "The nurse said, you will recover with in a day. As a gift to you. I myself will personally train you, since you are still on detention from your class.". "How am I supposed to fight someone like you. I am still exhausted. Plus that oldman did not even hesitate on his punch can''t you see the bandages around me.". "Oh come on. That''s physical training for a Knight. Aren''t you trying to graduate on this academy to graduate as a Knight.". "A Knight?". The young cless then did start to remember his uncles word. "Try to make some friends as much as you can.". "Knight? Mister what is a Knight?". At that moment the brute punk nodded and he started to discuss everything on his student. "Knights are valiant heroes of this kingdom. With their armours, swords and shield they fought millions of opponents Headon.". He nodded once more and he said "Clinging of blades, bloods splattered unto the ground. Strength versus strength. Power to power. Victories and defeat. All of them are the path of being a Knight. Can''t you see.". The brute guy pointed mid air and cless did look at it. "Kingdom owned by yours alone.". However what the guy cless imagine is shrine over the hills where in he is casually sweeping. Cless nodded and the brute guy added. "Woman''s of different calliber would visit you for marriage.". However, cless mistook at as daily Sunday ritual and mass, where old woman would often pray. He nodded in agreement and the guy continued "Imagine yourself filled with treasure.". Cless nodded and he started to visualize lots of paper work, runes and witch spell that would somehow help everyone that is cursed. "Cant you see, that is a Knight.". The young cless nodded and he directly said "Isn''t it boring sir.". At that moment, the brute punk dropped his jaw and was shocked of what his pupil says then he start to run his imagination and what he imagine is his student becoming a king. He composed himself and he nodded and he started to laugh "Thats the spirit. That''s right with your physique sky is the limit. Hahahahah, finally." He shouted and he said "Forget about the marquis son, finally I hit the big score. I have the chance of becoming Dean. Hahaha. Wait there and I will refine my blade. Tomorrow prepare for battle.". Like whirlwind, the brute punk vanished leaving the young cless alone on his room. "So uncle is right. This is the reason why he did become a Knight. Uncles Castle is great. I missed that castle.". For some reason the temple of the monks did finally become a castle now adays. He then did start to remember everything, on the marquis gauntlet he felt something something which is strange when all of a sudden mist did appear and what comes next is a familiar person, someone whom he defeated. The marquis son. "So you are still alive. Please do not worry, I harbour no ill intent towards you. I an just checking if the one who survive my father''s fist is still alive.''. "I''m still in bandages though." Answered by cless. Silence then did pass round them. The marquis son then did start to talk and he said "What are your plans now. Do you still plan on fighting that jericho.". Cless then did nodded. The guy nodded too and he said "Because of the destruction. The colloseum is not available and is under construction. You still have a lot of time preparing for your bouts. I would like to give a piece of advice. "Do not directly look at him during the fight. Fight him with a close eyes. That''s it, i did my job. Thank you for the lesson, that''s a great fight. I hope to see you on the front line as a Knight. I won''t forget your name mate.". Mist then did appear and cless is left all alone on his room. "Fight him without looking at him directly. What kind of joke is this. Session. He''s just jealous because I defeated him. Blah, better take my rest for now. So the once nursery is now filled with silence, beside him are the unconscious folks, because of his teacher, he made them fell asleep making his precious student enjoy his stay on the hospital, trying to relieve him from worries. That moment while everyone is busy doing their regular job. An impending doom is lurking on their castles gate, the darkness of wood, there lies red and hostile eyes. Eyes that is not of a humans, eyes which is familiar to everyone, eyes of humanoid beasts much powerful to the knights of the kingdom. "Report, inform the army on our rendezvous point. This kingdom reads of a demon. Its time to exterminate their king.".

 The demon race

    30 millimeter wide and 2 meter broadsword. Such thickness and length to be carried by one guy means a lot. It''s edge is sharpened enough to behead a single soldier. A man carrying it is now training a single guy. A guy holding a normal black katana. The guy then did said "Why are we here,? what is this place?.". A while ago, they just entered a single portal and they were transported on such place. "This place is the meteorite strike area. A place designed by the kingdom to strengthen their soldier. In this place, meteors often arrive and would land from space. They are scheduled every month. There is a saying that the gods and immortals above us are only keeping us safe, cleansing us from demons and beasts. Due to such case, the immortals send their rage on this land, sending frequent meteorite. There are few who are able to withstood this place. I am included on it. In just an hour, you will see why?.". The young cless did nodded and he followed his teacher. Together they waited and bit by bit, comrades of different faces appear on the portal. "How are you doing? It''d been awhile since a saw your face here.". "Probably a year. I was sent on the army and was forced to protect the borders. How bout you how are you doing?.". "Same old, training students, training them as a royal Knight.". The guy then did looked at cless and he asked "Who is he?.". "My student.". "Your student? Isn''t your student the marquis son?". The brute guy scratches his hair and did gave his comrade a while smiley face. On his forehead there appear a pore of sweat. "About that, he is out of commission so I look for another". His comrade nodded and he said "Okay, anyway I''ll have to go now, same position. My team is waiting for me.". "Ok be safe.. The guy then did start to manage cless and they start to go for their individual position. The meteor strike area is about to go to war, that is unknown to cless. What he knows is that he is just about to go for a training. They waited for several minutes until the portal behind them closes. Cless saw it and he started to panic "Hey its close. The portal is closed". "Then prepare for battle." "Battle? You said battle?". Then a loud rumbling sound started to shake the earth. Every one on such place did start to wield their swords. The rumbling of sound did start to become heavy and clear and at that moment. Dust of storms did appear. It was the dust coming from the loud rumbling noises. The brute punk wielded his giant broadsword and he said "As a general, its time for me to take take an action.". He then did start to talk on air and his calve did start to appear joints larger enough for a human vein protruded and just like that. He vanished. "!!!!!.". Cless looked around him and he did not even saw his teacher. "!!!!". He look behind him but his not there. "Am I supposed to charge now or what?". He look on his side and there he saw lots of soldier wielding their shields and sword charging to where rumbling sound is. "So, I''m supposed to run".and he did so, with his foot he started to go together with them. As he reached the rumbling sound there he saw their opponents. He stopped for a minute and there he saw a tragic scene. Scene that somehow made him stop. Unknown to everyone, cless is a demon, a half demon which is hidden and was successful hidden on the kingdom. There he recognize their faces. Man riding on a beast, a markings on their forehead, brute force engulfing their own body, terrifying enough for any humans. Such blood runs through him. "It couldn''t be, grandpa told me that the demon clan has been extinguished, I am the sole survivor of it. How...". Then he remember the brute punks word "Immortals.". On his front there he saw his teacher with his broadsword clashing with a beast. His skills is beyond any humans comprehension. He swings his broad sword like it was nothing and 4 demons were slained. Green blood did floated up mid air. Such blood were seen by cless. He started to remember his family, the one killed by the adventurers and he start to move his feet, move for a retreat. Then a vision of a bald headed guy appear. A monk, it was his uncle during his seclusion age. Secluded from everyone the monk balded his hair and he said "The dead are gone, however they still lives. They are just out there looking for their needs.". Then he started to remember all of the lessons he learned from his unc. How demon race once trampled the mankind. He observe the demons on his front and there he confirmed the monks lesson. He then did start to ask why are they all on a hiding and he said "Make sense. I should talk to their generals. I myself as a half demon should do it. Not for the sake of mankind but to save them from death.". So he took his resolve and he started to move. He dragged his feet and he started to wage his way on battle.

 "The battle field"

    Heavy Yes it is, katana is not an easy weapon to wield. Every swords from the forging of it is created out of metal. There is no sword called as light. Every katana is forged on a fire. How much more if you would for long hours. The more you wield it, the more it gets heavy. On the battlefield such act Is not an easy task. Cless with his sword is battling lots of monsters nearby. Such monsters are called full fledge demons. Claws of different types would always hit him, and in response he would parry it with his blade. In just a sec, a vertical slash wounded a single demon. It falls unto the ground died with green bloods. He then did thrust his sword on his back and a demon is stabbed on his guts. He rotated with his sword and he beheaded the nearby ones who is about to attack him. He closed his eyes and he start to feel the wind around him. There he could easily visualize his upcoming opponents. One demon did sent out a strong punch and he evaded it like the wind and with one hack of his sword, the opponents arm did fell. He then did connected it with one vertical slash, and in just moment, the body of the demon was cut. Another demon is about to attack him with his claws and in return he gave out one quick slash. How can he wield it so professional when his katana already weight several tons, not talking more on how frequent he wield it, for some reasons he is wielding it nonstop. On his side another soldier did appear and he assisted cless on the fight. One single thrust of his sword and it stabbed the monster on its heart. "Thanks" said by cless. "No worries" answered by the guy. Claws of the demon and sword from the soldier did clashed. Cless In return did runs to the guy and he assisted him by killing it on its head. Clean and swift, the head of the demon did fell. The soldier did nodded and he went for another brawl. Cless runs with his feet and he went to the nearby monster, and with his katana, he cuts them into two. Bit by bit the body of the monster falls, covered and dyed with green bits. He runs once more with his katana on both of his hands and he wielded it making him able to cut another monster in a sec. One strike once again and he could see another headless monster. He rest for awhile and he checked the situation. There he saw bit by bit, demons are gaining the fight. "It can''t be helped, they all are just humans.". Said by cless. He looked towards the fallen soldier and there he saw their deaths, hole on their heart, taken by the demons. This is the demons belief, to devour once heart would make them much more stronger, such a belief not accepted by the human kind. Which is the reason why they are slowly and slowly being outnumbered. He looked for his teacher and there he saw him wielding his giant broadsword. In just a second he could kill 3 to four monsters at a time. Yet he Is still a human. "Not good. That moron is not a demon. He is clearly drained of energy. Devoured by fatigue.". So he runs towards him and he with his sword he started to assist him. He runs on his back and just like that. "Yo, student. How are you? Thought you are already dead.". "!!!!!".. cless is outspoken and he start to protect his teachers back. "I thought this is just a training. You did send me to hell.". The brute punk did laughed and he said "There''s no better way to grew up but to gain experience on the field. Can''t you see, this is the field.". "!!!!!!". One monster did start to attack him and he just kill him with his sword cut into two. "So this is the field.". Cless did use his katana and he cuts it on the demons head. It swiftly fell wirh a green blood covering his dead body. "So it''s been an hour since we are fighting here. How is this going to end.". The brute punk then did said "Death.". At that moment cless went for another attack and he killed the demon nearby. One diagonal slash and the demon is cut into two. "Death?. Are you kidding me?. I''m still young.". The teacher then did start to talk and he said "This is the battlefield, what do you expect. A treasure, ofcourse there''s only one reward for us. It''s Death.". "!!!!, you lunatic.". Claimed by cless and with his sword he cuts once demon once again. It falls in a sec and it continues to pile up. The teacher did saw his kills and he said "Not bad for a new entry swordsman. To kill a demon in one slash means you are competent.". Cless gave out a smile and he said "Inhumane training I guess.". The teacher did laughed and he said "Inhumane. That''s That''s right, there''s no other answer to that. Demons thick skin is tough. Plus they ate heart to make them only strong.". Cless nodded and he asked "Do we often kill demons on our knighthood?". The teacher did said "our King is a human, the demons eternal nemesis. Yes, we knight do tend to kill demons as our own pledge to the king.". Cless went silent and he start to focus on his front. He saw an upcoming attack and he did deflected it with his blade. He cut the demons arm and stabbed him on his heart. It fell in a sec, cold and dead. The teacher on the other hand did yell out loud enough for cless to hear. "dock". Cless did so and the teacher released his skill. "Holy Knight skill : 4 wind slash.". In just once wave of the sword. Sword slashes flew out and slicing every enemy around. 6 to 7 monsters fall dead. Cless saw it and he said "So you still have the stamina to release your skill?.". "I am a Knight, what do you think.". Then skull stood up and he targeted the nearest demon on his side. He gave him one vertical slash and he killed him instantly. "Normal and swift, effortless attack and it would immediately penetrate the demons skin.". Said by his teacher and cless did just answered him "told you, Inhumane training.". He once again runs around his teacher, encircling him trying trying kill every bit of demon around him. "!!!!!!, not bad" said by the guy. In just moment cless killed around 5 or 4 of their enemy. Demons are morons, not, they are wise. At that moment, it seems like they heard a signal. They then did start to gather the body of their colleagues. They took them one by one and they drag it out of the battle field. "What are they doing?.". Asked by cless. The brute punk, veteran in battlefield stopped him. Then he said "Corteousy to the deceased". He then did looked up above him and he said "It is coming.". The soldiers then did heard a loud horn. A loud sound of a horn trying to signal their retreat. "Halt, lets go". Cless wondered why, yet as a student he just let it go. He followed the brute punk and he start to wonder "Where are his kin going. He too is a demon, a half demon.". Then at that moment, it seems like there is a truce on the battle field that both demon and human did start to retreat. He saw his comrade headed somewhere. Then at that moment another horn did resounded. The clouds above them was shattered and cleared. What comes next is a huge boulder engulfed in flame. About to hit the battlefield. "Told you, this place is called as the meteor strike." "!!!!.. I thought someone powerful would turn that meteor into smithereens.". "I''m just joking, I am not that powerful enough to crush that massive meteor with my skills.". The both of them are running at full-speed. "The portal is open, jump out folks.". One soldier shouted loudly and they heard it , like being saved by the heavens, cless and the guy dashed towards it. Then they jumped out of it and just like that they were saved. "HAHAHAHAHAH. that''s how I like it.". Said by the guy. "You nearly killed me. You said it was a training.". "You did great surviving on that battle field for a couple of hours. Look at you, unharmed.". The young one did stood up and he took his katana then he look at the portal about to close. He is about to have a glimpse of it, yet the teacher toom him on his neck.
