I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Well...actually, it's a beating anyway.

On one side, there is a gentle and responsible beautiful teacher who teaches the hard-working apprentice how to learn spells. On the other side, there is a sword god who always wants to fish but is actually unrivaled in the world. He casually teaches the disciple who hates himself to the core of his sword skills.

It’s hard to tell when comparing the progress of both sides, but there are always gains.

And one night after some time passed...

The chirping of cicadas in midsummer suddenly stopped as if frozen. When the hands of the clock pointed to 3:30 in the morning, Maki suddenly woke up from the bed.

His hands quickly tightened the knife in his arms.

Uh-huh!

Immediately, a dazzling cold light reflected the moonlight outside the window, and there was only a clanking sound of gold and iron, and the blade that Maki swung without hesitation collided with Cheng Rang's sword.

The sharp blade was only an inch away from Cheng Rang's eyebrows, and a look of satisfaction finally appeared in his eyes.

"Good chop."

Maki smiled coldly, unable to hide her pride in her tone: "Do you think I will always be defenseless?"

"Well, why, you didn't fall asleep?"

"I've smelled the stinky smell of a pervert on your body, and it woke me up abruptly." Maki retracted the sword angrily, sparks flying from the friction between the intersecting blades, and sheathed the sword.

"You still have such a venomous mouth, can't you be nicer to me, your master?"

Maki tightened the collar of her pajamas with a cold face and pointed hard at the door.

"--die to me!"

Cheng Rang took two steps back. The long knife in his hand turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He smiled and said calmly: "I'll wait for you in the playground."

"....What are you going to do?"

"Forged knife."

"to whom?"

Cheng Rang turned over and jumped onto the window edge, pointing back.

"for you."

Chapter 56: Spell Tool: Inscription

The moonlight is dim and the sky will be bright.

The playground under the dark blue curtain seemed to be shimmering in a dream. Maki changed her clothes and got ready to go. Cheng Rang was already waiting here.

The dark green forest sea rustled softly with the dusty wind. At this moment, there was no summer heat, but instead it made people feel slightly cool.

The dew condensed on the empty flagpole fell downwards with the pull of gravity, and Maki spoke first.

"What do you mean by forging a knife?"

"In our case, after the master accepts a disciple, he always gives the disciple a greeting gift."

"Meeting gift? Don't you think it's a little late to mention this now?"

"I didn't think it was the right time before."

"what about now?"

"it's time."

Cheng Rang nodded, came to Maki, and stretched out his hand.

"Give me the knife."

Unexpectedly, Maki immediately backed away quickly holding the knife with a vigilant look on her face, "No!"

If you give it to me and you want to beat me again, I'm not that stupid!

Cheng Rang laughed when he saw this, "You have a long memory, right?"

Maki looked disgusted and nodded.

In the past, Cheng Rang had often used the excuse of "the training was over" to deceive Maki out of the knife, but every time he got slapped on the face.

"Then this time is the final test."

Cheng Rang took a breath and took a step forward.

"Give me the knife."

The moment the words blurted out, the ultimate intention of the sword turned into a huge wave and surged towards Maki.

After many days, it was like falling into an ice cave again, and Maki was suddenly enveloped in death that could almost turn into reality.

The girl's pupils suddenly trembled, her face turned pale, and her whole body became so weak that she couldn't stop trembling.

"Uh ah... ah..."

The throat was blocked, blood could not flow, and the nerves throughout the body let out painful wails as if they were being cut.

Can't move...this again!

Now Maki already knows what it is from her master's mouth——

【Sword Power】

Can I really learn this kind of thing?

Without the power of the curse, after being freed from the curse, am I just an ordinary person?

It was difficult to breathe. Maki's whole body was soaked in cold sweat. She tried her best to breathe, but her body was not under control at all.

It was as if his heart was held in the hands of the man in front of him who was approaching her step by step, and it was beating exhausted.

If he wants to live, he can live.

If you want to die, you have no room to resist.

Cheng Rang's hand easily grasped the knife in Maki's hand and pulled it outward.

Can't! Can't be snatched away!

An unreasonable intuition roared in his mind - if his weapon was taken away.

....will die!

The girl's expression was extremely struggling. She gritted her teeth so hard that she almost broke them. She kept shouting in her heart - hold it tight! Hold it tight!

It cannot be taken away!

That is his last weapon.

Facing this [monster] in front of me, the last fangs.

But the stiff and weak fingers were still stretched open little by little, and the smooth scabbard slipped away from the fingers little by little, but Maki didn't even have the ability to move her fingers even slightly.

“You have to think of it as the person closest to you, an inseparable part of you.”

"Everything you love, everything you hold dear, everything you want to hold in your hands."

And Cheng Rang is now taking away the things that represent all of that from Maki's hands little by little.

Cheng Rang once commented on Zhenxi.

She is a person who lives for herself and does not succumb to external pressure. She is a charming, chic and straightforward girl.

Living in a big family, she was looked down upon by the Zen Academy because she had no magic skills and could not see the magic spirit. If he doesn't change, he will only be sent to serve his legitimate son in the future. From now on, I will just live a life of being looked down upon by others, being bossed around, and living my life casually, right?

But this young girl who cannot see the cursed spirit wants to become the head of the Chanyuan family. She wanted to resist the patriarchy, resist fate, and think about things that were completely irrelevant to her at that time.

she is doing

What you want to do. It's very difficult and painful in the eyes of others.

She can always move towards her goal without any anxiety.

"So what if I'm being ordered around in a Zen monastery? Isn't it good to just live my life casually? Why don't you just refuse to live in poverty with me?"

Just like my sister Zhenyi said, isn't this okay? This is not a bad life, right? Why spend so much effort doing something with a very low success rate?

"If this goes on, I'm going to hate myself, that's all."

[I don’t want to hate myself]

So I don’t want to live such a life. Do what you want to do freely and freely.

Maki has a talent that many people don't have. It's not the physical ability that's beyond ordinary people, but the ability to always move forward firmly towards the goal. Without confusion or withdrawal. That's why it's so popular. It is precisely because of this that Zenyuan Maki is.

"——I have no magic power."

The girl frankly admitted this fact, which was enough to become a laughing stock in the magic world.

But she won't give up.

It is precisely because of the challenge, and because I don’t want to hate myself for giving up and accepting my fate, that I risk this...

Snapped!

The long knife that was about to be released was held tightly in her hand again by the girl who screamed with all her strength.

"Don't even think about taking away...my things again!"

swish——

The tide of death pressure dissipated in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.

Cheng Rang calmly looked into the amber eyes of the girl in front of him.

That is the soul that shines in the darkness, never fails, and shines brightly.

"Congratulations, Maki...you passed the first stage of training."

The sudden downward pressure of the sword shook the ground around Cheng Rang's feet to crack, but Maki, who was close at hand, opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at her body that was no longer shaking.

"Master, didn't you withdraw your sword?"

Cheng Rang smiled and shook his head, saying: "Of course, this level of [power] cannot shake your will."

"Well done, Maki."

Maki stared blankly at the man in front of her who was smiling at her, this ridiculously strong master who was full of fans.

Have you really become stronger?

Just as a smile of joy from the heart appeared on the girl's sweaty face, in the blink of an eye, a more powerful sword force pushed her to her knees with a bang.

Cheng Rang bent down and easily picked up her long knife, weighed it in his hand, and gently hit Maki on the head.

"However, you are still far away~"

...

Damn it, when will this guy die?

Maki knelt on the ground with an unwilling look on her face, raised her head stubbornly and looked at the smiling Cheng Rang who wanted to be beaten, and began to curse him again in her heart. The joy and respect for him that had just surged had long since disappeared.

Withdrawing the more powerful sword force, Cheng Rang patted the dirt on his palms and ordered Maki who fell on the ground: "Clean up the playground. I'm going back to sleep."

"wait wait wait!"

Cheng Rang stopped and looked back.

"Where's the second stage of training? There's also a meeting gift...!" Maki gritted her teeth.

"Same as before."

Cheng Rang waved his hand, "Besides, I've given you a meeting gift. Let's give the new spell tool in your hand a formal name. Good night."

Maki was startled for a moment and looked at his empty hands again. Unexpectedly, he had grasped the long knife again.

Perhaps she was so accustomed to it as a part of her body that Maki didn't even notice when it returned to her hand.

Wait, what did that guy just say?

Spell tool? !

Maki couldn't wait to draw the knife, and a faint golden halo flashed past, stinging her eyes.

"Well...!"
