《Disciple of the Sword God》 Prologue+timeline Prologue Two hundred years ago humans,elves and velkins relied on sword techniques to fight monsters called Nestars. Since the creation of magic and guns swords are become less popular with all the different races. Countless sword schools are closed due the decrease of students and even the most prestigious military sword school [White Polar Academy], abandoned their original idea of relying only on sword techniques to win. Instead, they are using a method that allows you combine magic with a sword. The idea of sword techniques is becoming less effective against in combat is accepted by the general consensus. There was only one man in the world who find this statement bullshit. He hated the pretentious people that believes magic and guns are superior then swords. He then starts to develop a new sword skill. This sword technique only has three moves. But each of them has about hundred variations. The first move one is gun breaking stance. This stance counteres every gun in this world. The second move is the magic breaking stance. This stance counters every magic in existence including their projectiles. The last move is sword breaking stance. This stance counters every sword techniques in the world. This sword skill is called Heaven Cloud Sword. The man who develop this skill set only have one disciple. This disciple is a genius of his own. After the death of his master, he develops a fourth stance called God breaking stance. This stance has over a thousand variations. It was meant to battle against the Nestars. Later on, he changed the philosophy of this Heaven Cloud Sword skill. The original intent of this sword skill was to rely on complex techniques to overcome guns, magic and other sword techniques. He realized that speed is actually the most important part of sword techniques. He also thinks that there too many variations for only four stances. He was also convinced that simplicity and speed are could triumph over everything. He then takes the most important parts of gun, magic, sword and breaking stance too create the Snow Blood Sword. The Snow Blood Sword is superior then the original Heaven Cloud Sword. This sword skill contains only thirteen moves with ten variations. He also included the four breaking stances in his skillset. It''s separated from the thirteen moves. When he reached the age of thirty, he went to challenge the strongest sword, magic and gun schools. Each time he faces an opponent from one of those top schools he simply defeats them in one move. He even challenged a Black Dragon Nestar and killed it under an hour. He is called Xiles the undefeated sword god by peope around the worldf. In this world many believed only an SS-Class Nestar can challenge him. He suddenly disappeared sixteen years ago. During this sixteen year, many schools began improving and the students are became better. But they still can''t produce someone who can kill an B-class Nestar alone. Nobody would expected that there are two people who will surpass Xiles the undefeated sword god. One is his own disciple Sifrith Fayes. The other is the one who will kill him in the future.

Sifrith Fayes is born. 0 :Total population of the world exceeds 200 million. Unknown about Nestars population Chapter 1:Daily Training Chapter 1: Daily training "Master! Breakfast is ready" a teenage boy shouted His name is Sifrith Fayes. He is sixteen year old. He has black hair and brown eyes. He cannot be considered short for his age. He is wearing winter clothes since it''s snowing outside. "You don''t have to shout. I hear you," said his master while opening the door of his room His master is the legendary undefeated sword god Xiles. After defeating the strongest warriors in the world, he retired and lives in an isolated place where no one disturbed him. He becomes even stronger during this sixteen years because he spends all his time on improving his sword techniques. Four years ago he rescued Sifrith from a Nestar. He loses his memories about his parents when he get hit on the head by the Nestar. Since then they are living with each other for four years. There are two plates on the table one is for Xiles and the other is for Sifrith. There is scrambled eggs, two sausages, and bread on each plate. "Master, can I take a day off from training?" asks Sifrith in a casual manner while eating his eggs. "Hmmph, when you defeat me you can take as many days off you want." "Eh, ok." After the breakfast, Sifrith goes outside to train. The snow has stopped and there is about 10cm/4 inch snow on the ground. Sifrith is wearing his special winter clothes. Each clothing he wears weight about 2,5 kg/5,5 pound. Not only is he wearing training clothes but he also has weights on his legs and arms. Each weight is about 20kg/44 pounds. His daily routine of training consists off running through the mountains with all his weights on. The road to the mountains is slippery and extremely steep. The total distances he needs to cover is 96km/60 miles. He needs about 25 minutes to finish this morning training. (Shit, even the wind is working against me!) (If I am going to be late, my master will surely scold me) And sure he is right about that. "You are two minutes late!" "But master, there is lot of wind when I was running to the mountains "No more excuses! As punishment, you will spend one more hour to train with your heavy sword" (Shit, I know it I should run with my full speed next time.) Sifrith possessed two swords. One is extremely light and sharp but it''s easily broken. This sword is mainly used for fighting other races. He practices with his light sword all his moves except for the god breaking move. He spends another hour in dodging and cutting projectiles. His master bought two machines, one is for shooting arrows and the other is for shooting stones. Both machines have a shooting speed of maximum 2000 meters/second. After he finished this training he is going to cook his lunch. (What should I make today?) He sees birds flying everywhere in the skies. (I going roast some birds today.) He takes out his heavy sword. The heavy sword weight about 100k/220 pounds. The entire sword edge is blunt. He swings his sword vertically towards the sky. The powerful wind slash caused by the swing is enough to kill several birds in the air. He skinned the birds and went towards the kitchen to roast it. After roasting for 30 minutes, his master is back. "It smells good. I hope its taste even better." his master said "Of course, it will taste good!" "It''s ready in fifteen minutes." The master and disciple together consume the roasted birds. "Sifrith, there is something I want to talk about." "What is it, master?" "After this winter, I am going to leave this place." "What? But why?" "I am going to challenge an SS-Class Nestar in the west." "I am going with you too!" "No, I am not even sure if I can defeat such monster. You will only burden me." When he heard this sentence Sifrith reveals a sad look on his face. "Don''t make such a sad face You already mastered 70-80% of my Snow Blood Sword skill. You are stronger than many of the people out here." "Do you know why I put extra training weights on you?" "To improve my speed and strength." "That''s correct. You have never met a magic or gun user in your life but you are faster than them. If you encounter them in the future you need to take initiative and strike first!" "I understand, thanks for teaching me master." "Use normal swords to fight humans or the other races and use the heavy sword to fight nestars." "Why? Is there any difference?" "Most Nestars are huge and slow but they are extremely durable. You need brute strength to break through their defense. Humans, Velkins and Elves are faster than an average Nestar so you need speed to fight them. That''s why a lighter sword is more suitable for that kind of battle." (I could probably win against them with the heavy sword.) But Sifrith keeps his mouth shut and he doesn''t refute his master. Sifrith continued this training after the conversation. He swings the heavy sword for three hours and he also performs the god breaking moves. After that, he takes a bath still with his training weight on. (I already have those weights for like two years. When I am allowed to take it off?") He spends his free time reading books or he is going to a nearby town. After that, he cooks dinner and went to sleep. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. He repeated this routine for three years now. In the winter he is training in the snow and in the other seasons he is training with his swords in water. His master taught him the basics of the sword in his first year. Then the training from hell begins! In the beginning, it''s really a hellish training for him. Each end of the day he falls asleep due exhaustion. He even wants to run away but after months of training, he realized he is getting faster and stronger. He doesn''t complain that much anymore after such improvement. After spending four years with his master, they develop a father and son like relationship. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The snow is slowly melting away and the cold winter is gone. Xiles prepare his departure and said to Sifrith. "Today is the last day we spend together. I want to test your sword skills! You can remove your training weights now." "Finally!" Sifrith removes his training weights and feels extremely light. (Wow, I''m so light as a feather.) "Come outside." They went outside and the snow is already gone. Leafs are slowly growing on the tree branches. Birds are chirping during this hour. "Fight me with full power Sifrith!" "I will." Sifrith takes out the light sword and he immediately attacks his master showing zero hesitation. He uses the third stance of the Snow Blood Sword [Sword Rush] Xiles evaded the attack easily and he immediately counters attack with sword breaking stance. He is moving so fast that Sifrith sees several blurs from him. (What? He already cut my clothes!") "I am disappointed! Four years of training and you are still so slow. Why don''t you use Sword Rush and Sword Leap together? "Master, It''s you who is freaking fast! I can barely see you. You already destroyed my clothes before I can attack. "Again!" This time, it''s Xiles who attacks first. He only uses 60% of his speed this time. He is purposely slowing his speed so that Sifrith can catch up with him. He uses [Sword Rush] and [Sword Leap] together. When those two moves are used together and with an insane speed Xiles instantly appeared before Sifrith with his sword aiming at his throat. Luckily this time Sifrith could keep up with his speed and he counters it with sword breaking stance. The two swords are moving so fast it leaves several deep sword marks on the ground and trees. Xiles is focused on attacking and Sifrith is focused on defending his master relentless attacks with sword break stance. They exchanged more then thousands moves in a moment. The duel lasted for fifteen minutes until Xiles increased his speed. And moments later the sword from Sifrith is dropping out of his right hand. "You won master!" "You can follow my sword when I use 60% of my speed. When I increased to 70% you lasted for about fifteen minutes. I don''t want to admit it but you are actually the strongest non-nestar opponent I have ever met." "Does it mean I can follow you?" ask Sifrith full with hope "Take your heavy sword and follow me." They went several thousand meters to the west. Xiles stopped in front of a huge pillar. The length of the stone pillar is about 1.5km and the thickness is 1m. "Split this pillar vertically in two." commanded Xiles to Sifrith (I wonder If I can do that.) Sifrith readies his sword and jumps in to the air. He raised the heavy sword above his head and using two hands to perform a vertical slash. The blunt edge touched the stone pillar and loud noise could be heard. It slices the stone pillars in two. (It''s a success.) "You are around the strength of B-Class Nestar. If you can cut this pillar with one hand you can probably kill an A-Class Nestar." "Is there any way I can increase my speed and strength in a short amount of time?" "No, I only reached this stage when I am twenty-five years old." (So there is no hope for me.) They went back to their house for diner. (This may be the last time I will cook for master. I will cook my most delicious dish for him.) He is making rabbit stew with red wine and plumes. He finished cooking with the rabbit stew and he and his master are together for the last time. After finishing the meal his master is ready for departure. "Sifrith, you don''t have to live here anymore. You can go outside and have some fun. You are strong enough to survive the outside world. This is my last gift for you." Xiles takes out a purse full with gold coins from his pocket. He throws it on the table. "Farewell my disciple." that is his final parting words before he disappeared in his sight. Sifrith could not help but feel sad about it. (What should I do know?) (Since I am free to go now, I will explore this world and find a worthy opponent for my sword just like my master.) (Or should I uphold with justice with my sword?) (Whatever, I will find my answer during my journey.) With this in his mind Sifrith goes to the opposite direction of his master. Chapter 2: The mysterious slave girl Chapter 2: The mysterious slave girl Inside the [White Polar Academy] someone is watch a practice duel between two top students. Those two are last year students in this school. One is using a fire sword and the other is using an ice sword. Since the introduction of magic, many sword schools are embracing the idea of combining magic with sword. It was a huge success. Not only it boost the popularity of the sword back to the original status it also become more effective against Nestars. The student with the flame sword use[Flame Cross Slash] after his legs get frozen by the other student. The [Flame Cross Slash] hits the student with the ice sword, he lose his balance and fall backwards. "Rudy Goldenstein is the winner of this duel." one of the teachers said "Hehe, It''s a pity that your student losing against mine, Andr¨¦" said Paul while (Only at this level. They are pathetic weak.) thought Andr¨¦ "You student is not necesasary strong. It''s just that mine is weak." "You dare to insult my student? It''s a long time ago that we have a duel. How about fighting me now?" "Sure! Why not?" responded Andr¨¦ angrily "Let''s see If my water dragon is stronger then you stinky fire phoenix!" "Calm down you two!" a voice interrupted "Headteacher Vermillion!" they both called him out "Why argueing with each other in front of the students?" The three teachers talking in the specator seats are the academy strongest people. Andr¨¦ Hunt, Paul Laken and Louis Vermillion. Andr¨¦ and Paul feared Louis for two reasons. The first one it''s his relation with the principal. The other reason is because he is much stronger than them. "Andr¨¦ You think our top students are getting weaker?" asked Louis "That''s right. They are making to many sloppy mistakes and their sword techniques are non-existent." "Bullshit! I don''t see anything wrong with my students. Maybe something is wrong with your eyes!" said Paul "Sword techniques huh?" said Louis in a dreamlike state They both saw that he is in deep thought. Eighteen years ago, he loses to Xiles in a one sword move. It was the most humiliating moment in his life. The following years later he trained extremely hard. He wants rematch against Xiles but he never found him. The last news he heard from him is that he manage to kill an S-Class Nestar. This news shocked him greatly since nobody in this world can solo a B-Class Nestar let alone an S-class. (Where are you now Xiles?) thought Louis ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sifrith is yawning from the boredom. He is on a journey for three days and he hasn''t met any people yet. He is only walking and doesn''t want to run. He wants to enjoy the outside world but now he is getting bored. He starts to run and a half hour later he reached a town. The town is small but it''s lively. Children are running around the town. Housewives are busily chatting with each other and men are working or drinking in pubs. (Finally a town!) He is hungry and went to a restaurant. He orders swine meat, some bread and white beer. After finishing his meal, he heard someone shouting outside. (What is this?) He sees a girl is arguing with two men outside. The girl is around the age of seventeen. She got a beautiful face and smooth long black hair. She is wearing slave clothing. (Is she a slave?) Sifrith knows she is wearing slave clothing because he read a book about it. "Let me go!" shouted the girl "You come back with us!" said one of the man Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author."Don''t damage her face!" said the other man One of the men punched her in the stomach. People outside all watched this but they don''t attempt to help her. The man keeps assaulting her until Sifrith had enough. He breaks the man wrist and kicks the other guy man away. Of course, he doesn''t use full power. The man flew about 20 meter backward coughing blood and died instantly. (I killed him so easily.) This is the first time he killed a human. He feels a little guilty now. (I don''t think he deserves to die. He is just doing his work. Why am I even interfering them? Because she is beautiful?) The man with the broken wrist is scared of Sifrith and runs away. The crowd that watched them already dispersed when they saw sifrith killing the man. The beautiful slave girl looks at Sifrith with gratitude on her face. "Thank you for saving me," said the girl "No need to thanks me." "You are a escaped slave?" asked Sifrith "I escaped from the nearby city when I got the chance. But they keep chasing after me." Looking at her thin clothes, he said "I buy some new clothes for you. You are hungry right?" "You don''t have too! You already helped me so much." "Come let''s eat first then I going search some clothes for you." "But..." "Don''t worry it''s not bothering me so much." They went back to the restaurant and Sifrith order some meal for her. After that, they went to buy some new clothes. She chooses to wear a black dress with a gothic skirt. "Can I ask something?" said the girl "What do you want to ask?" "Why... are you helping me so much?" "I don''t know. I got angry when they hit you." "I need to go." the girl said suddenly "Why?" (Aren''t you a slave?) he wants to say this but he stopped. The girl smiled lightly and said, "You are only good to me because my face right?" "You are right, I am attracted to you." "Men are all the same, when they see a beautiful girl in danger they all want to help. But if I got an ugly face you would never have interfered right?" (What is going on here? She went on thanking me to this." "I would have interfered regardless the gender. Whetever you believe or not, miss." "Miss, since you don''t trust me and think I rescue you because of your beauty. Let''s part here then. He takes ten gold coins from his purse and hand it over to her. "I still got some money left please accept it as my goodbye gift." She takes the money and left him without saying a word. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ She went outside the town and meets two people with a silver mask. "Lady Vern, master is worried about you. Why are you acting as a slave girl?" one of the masked men asked "My father is worried about me? Don''t let me laugh." "But it''s the truth!" "Who is that boy with you?" "He is just a pervert! He pretends to be righteous and friendly to me" "I don''t think so miss. He is the only one in the crowd who wants to help you." "And why aren''t you two helping me?" "This boy already acted before we can do anything." (I forget asking his name!) "You two! Follow and protect him if needed. If he is wounded or death the two of your will bear the responsibility." The two of them gasped and both responded "Yes of course, my lady!" (She is gone.) (Why would she suddenly acts aggressive to me?) Sifrith departed from the town in the afternoon. Chapter 3: The important letter Chapter 3: The important letter Somewhere middle in the night a man is hastily running away. He is holding an important letter for the [White Polar Academy] There are fifteen assassins chasing after him. They are elite fighter from the [Shadow Fall Sect]. (I''m not going to make it!) The man is exhausted from running away and he stopped his steps. The assassins surrounded the man. "If you hand over the letter, we will let you alive," said one of the assassins. "Never! My live you can take away but you will never insult my honor!" "Idiot!" One of the assassins is pointing a gun at him and he pulled the trigger. BANG BANG! Two fired shots could be heard. Suddenly a stone is travelling in the middle of the air and destroys the two bullets "Who is there?" shouted one of the assassins A teenage boy appeared from the bushes.It''s Sifrith! "How dare you to interrupt us? Aren''t you afraid of death little brat?" (Fifteen people huh?) Without saying anything Sifrith instantly takes out his light sword and launch the second move of the snow blood sword skill [Crescent Slash] towards the assassins. He is making a circular movement with his sword. Human heads are flying around. In just one move Sifrith manages to decapitate ten assassins. "Such godlike sword skill where did that brat learn it?" they all thought Without even a chance to escape the remaining assassins throats gets slashed with [Sword Rush]. With two moves he killed fifteen elite assassins. There is still one guy breathing and he throws with his last breath a poisonous towards Sifrith. He evaded it but it hits the man behind him. (Shit! I should have destroy that projectile instead of dodging it.) "Hey, are you alright?" "That projectile hits my vital organs. I will die soon." The man takes out the letter in his pocket. "Please help me to deliver this letter to the head principal of the [White Polar Academy]. It''s very important!" "I will personally deliver this letter! I promise you." "Thank you." said the man while closing his eyes Sifrith digs a grave for this man. He admired him for his courage even they only just met. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Why did the lady send us to protect him?" the man with the silver mask said "She probaly doesn''t know he is THAT strong." "Should we report this to the lady?" "Yes, do that! I will follow him and you are going to report this to her." Sifrith arrived in a city and he asked the inhabitants where [White Polar Academy] is. The academy is located north from this city.It''s about ten days walking from here. (The letter is very important, I should run with my full speed.) He runs with full speed to the north. (Fuck! He is fast. I can''t follow him.) The man wearing silver mask gives up with following Sifrith. (He is going to the academy, I should go back to the headquarters and report this to the lady.) The next morning when the sun comes up Sifrith arrived at the academy. (Finally, I''m here.) The academy is big it''s split into four blocks. Sifrith is located in the south block. He sees a girl wearing a school uniform sitting on a bench reading a book. He went towards her and asks "Excuse me miss! Can you tell me where the principal office is?" She tilts her head up revealing her beautful blue eyes. She got red hair and it''s tied in a ponytail. She is smiling at him and said "Sure, I will lead you to the office." The principal office is in the west block. Most of the students are still eating breakfast so there is no one outside except for the girl. "What are you looking for in the principal office?" asked the girl "I have an important letter for him." answered Sifrith "You are a sword user?" She sees two swords on this back. "Yeah." "It''s really unusual for someone wearing have a blunt sword on his back." the girl said "Really?" "How much does this sword weight?" "About 100kg." The girl started to giggle and said "You are joking aren''t you? Isn''t that just a fake sword." "I''m serious!" "Do you want to examine my sword?" "Maybe later, we arrived at the office! Chapter 4: Living in the academy Chapter 4: Living in the academy Knock! Knock! "Come in!" a voice behind the door said The girl opens the door and said: "Mr Velvet, someone has an important letter for you." "Let him in." Sifrith enters the office. The office is heavily decorated with swords and paintings. There is even a glass piano at the corner of the office. He saw a middle-aged man with a moustache sitting on a chair. He is busy signing some document. There is still a lot of paper on the table waiting for his signature. "You can go back to the class Melissa." The girl left them alone. "Hello there, you got an important letter for me?" "That''s right." He pulled the letter out of his pocket. "Here." He handed it to the principal. The letter is sealed with a red wax. The principal opens the letter and reads it. Dear Velvet, You got a spy in your school. He is after you Chaos Vortex sword. The spy belongs to the [Shadow Fall Sect]. He is disguised as one of your students. He is a top ranked fighter in the Shadow Fall Sect. Be wary of him! Can I request one last thing for you? Please take care of Erze, if something happens to me. Your friend Wilhelm "The man who ask you to deliver this letter to me, is he dead?" "He got killed off by assassins. It was my fault." The principal is silent for a long time. "How do you manage to escape?" "I killed all of them." "You killed all of them?" "Yeah there are fifteen assassins and they are all killed by me." "Are you lying to me?" "Why would I lie to you?" Velvet stared at him for a long time. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. "Can''t you describe those assassins to me?" "The only thing I remember is that they all have a wolf tattoo on their left hand." (They are the wolf squad! Those are the Shadow Fall sect elite assassins.) "Who is your master?" "Eh?" (My master forbids me telling his name.) "I don''t have a master." "Fine, if you don''t want to tell I won''t force you." "How old are you?" "I think I am sixteen but I''m not sure about that. I lose my memories four years ago." "So, you got amnesia huh.Can you do something for me?" Velvet explain the content of the letter and then said "I want you to pretend to be a student here and find out the spy." "Why me?" "It''s simple. You are capable killing the elite assassins and you already know the contents of the letter. No one knows you in this school except for me and that girl who leads you here." "How long will I be here?" asks Sifrith "How about two months?" "Of course, I will reward you even if you fail." (Two months.....) "Ok, I accept but I have one condition." "The first one is after the two months regardless my failure or success, I want to fight your school strongest sword master!" "You are so confident about your skill! Good, I will accept your condition." "Your room is on the fourth floor of the east block.It''s number 420." "I will do the administrative work for you. You get your student card delivered in your room. Since your sixteen years old you will joining the second grade. It''s class 2F. Here is the map your classroom, your room, cafeteria and all the other important places are marked." "Do you have any other questions?" "For this moment no maybe later." "Go to your classroom then and give this letter to the teacher and he will understand." Chapter 5: Trouble in the class Chapter 5: Trouble in Class "Wait a second!" said the principal "What?" "Can you first hide your two swords into the school locker? Swords are forbidden in the classroom." "Here is a keycard. It''s specially made from magic. Just touch the locker with this card and it will automatically open. Your also find a male school uniform there. Wear it and go to the classroom and don''t draw to much attention! "Hmm, ok I understood. By the way, how do you deal with that Melissa girl? She saw me delivering the letter to you." "Just tell her that your father is a good friend of mine and that he ask me to take care of you." "Alright." Sifrith went to the locker room and find number 101. He opens it with the key card and inside the locker, there is a school uniform. (My heavy sword barely fits in this locker thing.) He went to the bathroom and changed his clothes. He put his normal clothes inside the locker and closed the door. (I should go to the classroom.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The teacher looked at the letter and tells Sifrith to introduce himself. "I am Sifrith Fayes." The whole classroom is staring at him with bored looks. "There is still a place free in the corner.You can sit there." the teacher said "But I don''t even have the lecture books yet.." said Sifrith "Darren switch with Sifrith so he can read the lecture book together with Max." "THIS GUY STINKS!" said Darren with an angry look (I haven''t a bath for days and I was running for a day.) "Can you move so I can sit?" asked Sifrith respectfully "No, go away you stinky thief!" said Darren Everyone in the class starts to laugh at Sifrith. The teacher looks awkwardly on the ground and say nothing. (Hmmm, I already started to attract attention. Well I don''t care about class I won''t stay here long anyway.") "I will sit in the corner then." The lesson started and it''s boring for Sifrith. The monotonious and unmotivated voice from the teacher caused everyone asleep including Sifrith. The lesson ended and the teacher left the classroom. Someone pulled out his chair and Sifrith falls on the ground. (Zzzzzz, What the hell?) "What is that for?" "Get up!" Darren said (Fine, you want to fight?) Suddenly he remembers what the principal told him: Don''t draw to much attention!. (Ok, I will let him hit me. My body is itching from not bathing anyway.) "What are you going to do if I won''t get up? Punch me?" said Sifrith with a laugh "You fucking bastard!" Darren leaps towards Sifrith and punches his face repeatedly. (Punch harder! My itch won''t stop.) Blood is flowing out Sifrith face. It''s not his blood that is flowing. It''s from Darren''s fist. "Fuck!" Darren said He stopped with punching because he feels enormous pain in his fist. The history teacher entered the classroom and saw Darren screaming from the pain. He asks "What is going on?" "That transfer student broke Darren''s hand," said a classmate "Yeah, it''s true we all saw it!" shouted the other one A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. "Transfer student?" (So you can win against me and now you all slander me?) "I am the transfer student they talk about ." The teacher saw that his face is bleeding and said: "You are the one who broke Darren''s hand?" "He started it first." "No, You STARTED it first!" shouted three classmates The teacher said "Go to the medical room, Darren. He stared angrily at Sifrith "You! Come over here." The teacher slapped him face two times. "How dare you to assault a student on your first day?" "The student you attacked is the only son of the Maliga family.If they know you broke his hand!" "You should kneel and apologize to Darren now!" (This teacher is really detestable. You don''t even let me speak out yet. You already blamed me for everything.) (Fine! I will leave this damn school. But before that I want to challenge the strongest person here.) A student suddenly entered the classroom. He whispered something to the history teacher. "The principal wants to see you." the teacher said ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aya Vern Pov Are you sure he went to the [White Polar Academy?] "Yes, I am sure about that Lady Vern." (Is he a student there?) (Let''s make my face ugly.) A woman appeared and she is putting makeup on to Aya''s face. An hour later the pretty face of Aya turned extremely ugly. She looks at the mirror and said "Good job Eva. How long can I maintain this face?" "About two or three weeks my lady." "Hmm, I want to pretend I''m a hunchback." "Am I ugly enough now Eva?" said the black haired girl with an unpleasant voice "You are the ugliest human I have ever seen!" laughed Eva "Have you prepared the fake student card for me?" "Yes, my lady," said the man with silver mask ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Sorry." said Velvet again "I shouldn''t put you in THAT class. It''s full with arrogant nobles." "What are you going to do now?" asked Sifrith "I will punish that kid accordingly to the rules." "The teachers are all scared of the nobles?" "Some of them are yes. There is nothing I can do about that." "Are you familiar with the nobles family here? "Of course not!" "Noble kids in this school are quite rich and their parents are either influential people or wealthy merchants. The reason we tolerate the noble kids is simple. We need financial funding from them. The invention of magic and guns puts our school in red. People are more interested in magic and guns then swords. If we displease the nobles they will pull their kids out of this school. Our 600 year old prestigious school will be closed then. The reason why the nobles are interested putting their kids in this school is because Xiles the undefeated sword god defeated all the school with his sword techniques. The nobles are thinking that maybe the way of the sword is the strongest after all." (My master never told me anything about this.") Chapter 6:Confrontation Sifrith went out of the principal classroom and sighed. (Do you really think I care about your school well-being? The only reason I accept your request is because I want to fight the strongest guy here.) He left the building with an annoyed look. Sifrith hasn''t taken five steps out of the building and there is already several people staring at him. It''s Darren and some other guys. They are all wielding a sword. "You Filthy trash! You dare to injure me!" (Who is the trash?!) "You are ganging up on me, aren''t you a coward?" "Coward?! You are the coward for hugging the principal building." "Oh, is that what you want? Where do you want to fight?" Suddenly Sifrith heard a ridiculing laugh from the other guys. "Did you heard that? This guy want to take all of us!" "Follow me, you trash!" Darren said in a insulting tone. "Fine." Sifrith followed Darren and his cronies. Their presence attracts attention from the other school students. "Isn''t that Darren? Is he teaching that guy a lesson?" they all whispered Suddenly an ugly girl is bumping on Darren. "Ouch!" She looks up and said to Darren "S-sorry." "Ugly bitch out of my way!" Darren angrily pushed the ugly girl. "Ah!" she squeaked Sifrith grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you alright?." The ugly girl stared at Sifrith with a strange look. "I''m fine." She walked away from Sifrith. "We fight here!" Darren said "Whatever." Nine guys with swords + Darren against Sifrith who is unarmed. They are forming a circle and surrounds him. "This new guy is crazy! He is unarmed, how can he fight back." Some spectators are saying "Sssh! Better shut up or they will hear it." "Quickly warn the teachers, or someone is seriously getting injured." A girl said in a worried tone. Seeing Sifrith handsome appearance, she couldn''t help but speak out. Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. Amongst the spectators, there is someone who is uninterested in this duel. He is Rudy Goldenstein one of the top students in this school. He thought that they are low-leveled trash, not even worth of a glance. The wind is fluttering his shiny golden hair, he wants to walk away but can''t. He is already middle in the crowd. About hundred students are here to watch the fight. Rudy stared at Sifrith and noticed he isn''t wearing a sword. (This guy, don''t tell he fights them empty-handed?) "What are you waiting for? Just attack or are you scared?!" Sifrith provoked "Ahh!" Darren shouted and attacked first. He is using the school basic sword-style. He performs a vertically slash on Sifrith who looks bored. Sifrith caught the sword with two of his fingers and lightly snapped it in two. CLANG! A breaking noise could be heard. "Eh?!" Darren exclaimed Those swords are made from hard-steel, the fifth hardest material in the world. The students are flabbergasted and whispered "Impossible, he breaks hard steel with his fingers.! The nine other nobles attacked together, three using sword stabs, fourusing vertical slashes and the other two are swinging their swords randomly. Sifrith quickly moves towards the two who are swinging their sword randomly. He disarms them, using the two swords and [Sword breaking Stance] to break their swords. CLANG!CLANG!CLANG! All nine swords are exactly broken at the same place as Darren''s sword. (Should I just rampage and kill all of them so the strongest guy of this school will appear in front?) The nobles are staring at Sifrith with fear in their eyes. The students cheered for him. Suddenly he heard a someone saying. "You are good, I want to fight you." The voice is coming from Rudy Goldenstein.
Chapter 7:Fire Sword "It''s Rudy Goldenstein!" the students shouted Rudy stares at Sifrith with a challenging look . (Another one?.) "I don''t mind, let''s fight here." "I don''t want to fight an opponent unarmed, pick up your sword now." Darren and the others are shocked when they see Rudy. He was one of the top students and a noble. They saw how Sifrith broke their swords so easily and quickly realize the difference between them and him. Darren hopes that Rudy will win to save some face for the nobles. Rudy unsheathes his flame sword, fire is surrounding the sword. It looks stylish and dangerous. "Aren''t you using a sword or not?" he asked again "No, my finger is enough for the likes of you." "Do that guy have a death wish?! How dare he talk Rudy Goldenstein like that?" The crowd said "He doesn''t really know how high the skies is." Rudy is extremely angry because Sifrith looks down on him. "Die!" he shouted Rudy uses [Fire Slash]. A sword slash of about 60cm surrounded with fire is flying rapidly towards Sifrith. Even though it looks like the fire slash is flying extremely in onlookers eyes, but in front of Sifrith eyes, it''s slower than a turtle. He moves a few steps away from the slash and evaded it easily. The fire slash hit a few students and they are burning now. "It''s dangerous here! Let''s back off some meters!" The crowd shouted Rudy uses his school advance style to attack Sifrith. He leaped towards Sifrith and thrusting him. Following the thrust he executes several deathly stances at the same time. Sifrith who knows all the weakness of the sword use [sword breaking stance] He uses his index finger as sword and parried all Rudy''s attacks without any effort. "My sword is made from fire, you don''t feel any heat at all?" Rudy asked in shock "A little bit, not enough to burn me." Sifrith suddenly appeared in front of Rudy, using his index fingers to attack his several weak points on his body. Rudy is forced to defend with everything he got. You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. "How fast!" They all thought. Sifrith only using 30% of his speed, but Rudy nearly can''t defend with his speed. "Sword Rope!" he shouted (What? He shouts his attacks? How impracticable." Six fire ropes appeared from the sword attacking Sifrith in close range. Sifrith manages to cut five of the fire ropes, but one manage to scratch his face. He feels a burning a sensation on his face. (Tsk! I''m careless.) Sifrith grabbed the fire rope with his hand and pull the sword and its owner towards him. Rudy has no choice to loosen the grip of his handle. It''s extremely humiliating for the swordsman to lose their sword to his opponent. "You leave me no other choice!" Rudy shouted The fire sword of Rudy suddenly spins several times faster. The fire around the sword is getting intenser. "Ultimate attack [Fire Spin] !" (Again shouting you attack in front of me is foolish.) The sword is spinning faster and faster, the fire on the edge of the sword are attacking Sifrith now. Sifrith use [magic breaking stance] to break this technique. Every magic attack has mana surrounding it, the theory of magic breaking stance is destroying the mana with his own mana. He learns to read mana after learning sword breaking stance from his master. It''s an extremely difficult technique to master. Sifrith sees the mana on four spots of the fire sword, he channels his own mana on his index finger and touches the spots on the sword. The spinning attack of the fire sword has stopped, even the fire is gone. "No,it''s impossible!" Rudy shouted "You lose, so can I go now?" asked Sifrith The spectators are all silent, some applauded,others are whispering to each other. "How about I fight you?'' someone said A blond girl wearing the school uniform and black boots appeared from the crowd. (A new challenger...) "It''s Rain Foster!" The crowd said "The strongest student in this school." Chapter 8.The Spy The spectators couldn''t help but said: "This is not fair for him, he already has two fights in a row." A loud atmospheric crowd is gathered between the duels. The blond haired girl said, "That''s right, let''s fight tomorrow then, in the arena." Sifrith honestly doesn''t care, he said: "I don''t care let''s fight here." He looks at the huge crowd surrounding them. (Now I''m attracting attention the opposite what the principal want. But the spy can''t probably resist but take a look.) Rain lose his countenance, she never except Sifrith will challenge her here without a rest. "This guy doesn''t know how to refuse? This is suicidal, Rain Foster is much stronger than even the second strongest student in this school." One of the spectators said Rudy Goldenstein is ranked fifteen. The single digits in this school are much stronger him. "Out of the way!" a voice shouted amongst the crowd "Who warned the teachers?!" a male student shouted with angry voice One of the teachers has arrived. He has a body that''s well-built, his brown hair makes him even more intimidating. He is wearing a green jacket and black boots. It''s Paul Laken one of the top three teachers at the school. "What are you two doing here?!" His voice is loud enough to shatter the eardrums of nearby students. He saw how Rudy his favorite student is looking away with shame. "Goldenstein, what is going here?" "Master..." "I lose against him, he hasn''t even use weapon yet." "You lose while he fighting you unarmed?!" Paul stared at Sifrith and thought "He is young, about the same age as the students and yet he defeated Rudy without a weapon! I don''t think even I can do that. Maybe headteacher Vermillion can do it. "Let me explain the situation." Someone in the crowd said. It''s a female student with red hair, Melissa. She explained the entire situation to Paul who is extremely angry. "Is that true?!" he said "Everyone here is a witness, including Rudy Goldenstein." "It''s true!" The crowd shouted However, the noble students deny the accusations. Sifrith suddenly saw a student sneaks away from the crowd. Everyone is fixating towards Paul,Sifrith,Rain and Rudy, no one is paying attention to him. (I found the spy. He is probably going to the place where the sword is hidden since everyone attention is here.) This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aya Vern followed the suspicious student. Disguised as an ugly girl no one will ever suspect, she is the daughter of the demon king Gaius. The demon king is an extremely powerful wizard comparable to Xiles in strength. If Xiles is the strongest swordsman then Gaius is the strongest magician. The two has never met each other, but people wonder what will happen if the two of them clashed. The suspicious student doesn''t realize he is being trailed by Aya. He went to the weapon building while being unnoticed by others. It''s heavenly guarded outside the weapon building. Twelve guards are circling around the building and there are more inside the building. "What is that guy doing? Do he wants steal something inside that building?" Aya thought The suspicious student leaped towards the guards, slicing their necks with his dagger. The guards collapsed on the ground with even making a sound. They don''t even realize they are death. Everything happened too fast. "How fast!" thought Aya The suspicious entered the building, Aya is doing the same. Once inside, Aya saw corpses of guards laying on the ground. It''s the same way how the guards outside are killed. Their throats are slashed with minimal blood dripping. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sorry to interrupt you, but I found the spy," Sifrith said to Paul "How did you know this?" Paul asked in shock "I''m working for the principal, anyway, I saw a suspicious student sneaking out. His movements are extraordinary, probably an expert assassin." "Quick warn the others and the principal." Paul commanded to the students. "Let''s go." Sifrith "What do you mean?" asked Paul "This opponent is not someone you can handle. I need to go back to the locker and take out my sword." "You are underestimating me?!" Paul said in angry tone "No, it''s just the truth. Anyway, it''s a waste of time talking now." Sifrith left Paul and the crowd. He runs towards the locker where he put his swords.
