I Reincarnated as a Shinai

The atmosphere in this small training ground appears to be lively. The young girls and boys that are training were closed with each other. 

Stella wanted to ask more about Diether and in exchange, she's even willing to teach them more about Kendo. 

Well, no one seems to be practicing Ittouryuu so she might consider imparting them some knowledge about it if she felt satisfied with their answers.

However, as she was about to make ask a few questions, she noticed that everyone's faces turned pale as they looked at her back.

"Hmm?"

She curiously looked behind her and thought that she would see an Evil Beast ready to pounce her.

However, the one approaching them is a group of evil-looking young men, their faces seem to be asking to be beaten up.

They were smiling maliciously as they held wooden bats and rusty swords as their weapons. 

They should be around 10 to 12 years old similar to the ages of the children training here. 

She looked at their expressions and she could somehow tell the relationship of the two groups. 

However, she decided to keep her silence for now and wait for what the other group had to say. 

Of course, since she knows that her fellow disciple is taking care of Andrea's group. She wouldn't just leave them here.

"Hmph! You are all still here?! We already ruined this place yesterday. How come everything is already."

The leader of the group of children said. There are only eight of them here and based on their demeanor, they are looking down on this group of kids that are practicing Kendo.

"Old lady! Did you help them fix this place?!" 

Before Andrea and the others could even answer, the skinny leader already taunted Stella. 

"What? Are you talking to me?" Stella is just 20 years old so she's still young. Calling her an old lady was too much. 

When she was their age, she would never disrespect the ladies that she knows. 

"It seems that someone needs to teach you proper manners…" Stella replied after seeing the young man's mocking face. She's taller than all of them but perhaps because she's a female, they are disregarding her at all.

She had no plans of withdrawing her weapon in front of these kids. 

"Ha! What are you going to do with us with your skinny arms?! I'm Shawn and we are claiming this playground. I want these poor kids away from this place. If you are not going to help us, you will suffer, old lady!"

The leader said as the other boys behind her chuckled. They are obviously unafraid of Stella. Perhaps, they have already done this before to older females and they are thinking that they wouldn't be harmed anyway.

Unfortunately, they are facing the wrong target today and Stella wouldn't let them off either. 

"Ha! This is our training ground! Teacher Diether made this place and the Village Chief agreed with him!." Andrea said immediately. 

"That's right. Pretty lady, don't listen to them. This is our place and not their playground."

"Hmph! You just learned that Teacher went away so you're already acting like this! When our teacher was here, you weren't even able to get near us!"

Soon, Stella saw the group of small Kendo Practitioners tightly holding their wooden swords.

Her eyes lit up as she noticed that these swords were actually high-quality ones. They are definitely quite pricey. It seems that Diether wasn't that stingy to his students.

'He's generous… He should be around 18 or 19 by now since master said that I'm supposed to be older than him.' Stella mused but she immediately shook her head as she realized that her thoughts are wandering.

"Heh~ So this place isn't yours. Wait, maybe you just wanted to join them and you're just shy?" Stella asked as she thought that they just wanted some kind of attention. 

However, they immediately glared at her and they even started inching forward to smash her face with their weapons. 

"I don't care anymore! If you don't leave our playground, we will make you!" Shawn angrily said.

The boys behind him also stepped forward. Some of them were actually looking nervous as they held their weapons. 

It is completely unlike the young practitioners who were retaining their calm as they readied for battle. 

'Ugh… It seems that they can handle this. However, I can't just watch them brawl here, right?'

In the end, Stella decided to join the fight! 

Well, she was called an old lady by this young boy and disrespected her. She doesn't just plan to let it go.

In the end, she pulled a small orb in her bag and cast magic. It is the orb their group looted from the "bandits" that blocked their carriage.

Most of the useless Magic Items were converted to cash while those that are a bit useful were kept in their hands. 

This Orb is one of them.

"Wind Force…" 

Stella poured some of her Spiritual Energy into the Orb to trigger one of the three spells it has. 

The Wind Force is normally a spell to push the smoke or even smell in a different direction. It is convenient magic to confuse people especially if the user is being chased. However, to young children, this force was enough to put them out of balance.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The young boys dropped to the ground as soon as they were caught in the range of the spell.

"Instead of just fighting here and getting yourself injured. You guys should practice your Spiritual Energy instead. So one day, you can use this simple Arcane Magic…"

Stella decided to just teach them a lesson. Of course, she's also telling this to the young Kendo Practitioners. 

Unfortunately, only two of them here seem to be capable of utilizing their Spiritual Energy right now. Nevertheless, it is not too late for these kids to train. They are still young and they could have a bright future ahead. 

Then, Shawn and the others looked at her like she's a witch before crying and standing up… They quickly ran away.

"I will tell this to my father! Hmph!" Shawn shouted after getting some distance from Stella. As soon as he said, he quickly continued running away together with his friends. 

On the other hand, Andrea and the others looked at her with their eyes filled with awe. It seems that she managed to impress them with that magic.
