Land of Honor / West Area Border

Boom!

In the empty field of west area border. 

Boom!

There is a continuous boom sound.

Boom!

There is no monster that is visible around the area. 

Boom!

But the continued boom sound doesn't stop striking. 

"I'm beat up!" "Me too!"

The twin fell on their back, can't continue anymore their training. 

Not far from their position, Kane beaten up too. His right hand greatly trembling. 

"Dang it!"

He could not reach the level of his comrades yet. He doesn't want to stop. But his right hand says otherwise. 

Boom!

Meanwhile, one of them is still continuing on destroying his training medium as he tries to figure out of how to properly filling a medium with mana.

Boom!

Aiden once again destroys his wooden sword. He couldn't count how many wooden swords he had destroyed. But as long as there are still wooden swords, he would not easily stop his training. 

He stands up, walking to the wooden sword container, and takes one to continue his training. But before he goes back to his position, he takes a look at the sword master first. 

His four sword disciple is having a hard time on training their First Lesson of Sword Caster-ing. Meanwhile Arsen, the sword class master, relaxing on wooden chaise lounges under an umbrella. 

"Having trouble, Aiden?" asked Arsen.

"Um, yes. I don't know how to say it, but, whenever I connected to the medium and try to fill the medium with mana, I end up filling too much and makes the medium explode." 

That is the reason of why Aiden always destroying his medium, the wooden swords. 

Arsen knew that in the first place, since he can use [Eyes of the Dragon: Mana Vision]. But he believing in his smartest disciple. Even though the smartest is still having a hard time, and if he lets Aiden go on like that, Aiden will end up losing so much mana and that will gives long-term effect of his body. 

Don't want that to happen, Arsen removed his sunglasses and get up.

The sword master seems so relaxes, when his disciples are having trouble on learning his lesson. But one thing that makes Aiden not losing even one trust on his sword master is the scars on the sword master body. 

At that time, Arsen takes off his jacket and wears only a black shirt. That shirt shows Arsen's two hands. His two hands, especially his right, is full of scars, and all that scars seem like obtained from his training of Sword Caster-ing. 

Aiden realized that because his right hand also got the same wound because of receiving damages from the medium explosion. 

Arsen stands up in front of his smartest disciple and asked: "Hand over that sword."

Aiden did what his sword master asked.

Arsen takes the wooden sword. "At first, I want you to feel the same hardship just like me."

The context is on learning the [First Lesson of Sword Caster-ing: Filling a Medium with Mana].

"But your body not as strong just like me back then, and I don't want you to get infected when learning this Arts."

That is a shame, but his sword master's words are true. Aiden feels like his breathing became irregular, and his right hand started to feel like it being prickling. That is a sign that the flow of mana in his right hand is starting to lose its points of balance, which if continued would result in an initial Infection.

"You three, come here!"

Kane, Henry and Harry immediately get up and run towards the sword master. 

After all his disciples gathered, Arsen going to gives them another lesson. 

"Because of you fools cannot do that simple thing, and if I let you go on like that it will harm your body even more. I will give you one last lesson to make your learning easier." 

"Aw, don't say that, teach." "You make us down."

It was a new side of their sword master; saying words that can make other people feel down.

"But that is the fact," muttered Aiden. "I can continue even although my right hand covered with wounds from the training. But it would all be for nothing if I got Infected before I could master the Sword Caster-ing."

Aiden is the most capable of all of them on learning the Sword Caster-ing. If he said that, then they cannot deny their sword master's words. 

"Well, with that being said, now try to hold this sword."

Without realizing it, their sword master had made his wooden sword floating in midair. 

No matter how much they see it, that looks so amazing. 

Aiden became the first one on holding the floating wooden sword. 

"Then try to move it."

Aiden tries to move the floating wooden sword, but no matter how much he put his strength to move it, the floating wooden sword can't be moved at all. 

"Hnnngggggggggg!"

Aiden surrender. The twin together be the next to hold the floating sword. 

"Hheeeeaaaa!" "Hhwwwuuuoooo!"

Even with two-man strength, the floating wooden sword does not waver an inch at all.

It seemed like it has absolute characteristic that would not waver without the owner's consent.

"Now hold and try to feel the mana in the sword."

Aiden holds the floating sword again and tries to feel the mana in it.

"Can you measure the volume of mana I used in that sword?"

Before his sword master instruction, Aiden could not think that he can measure a mana in a medium. But now he tries to do it, and it feels like he is holding a cup full of water. The water (mana) inside the cup (wooden sword) is so balanced and calm.

The sword master's [Mana Filling] is like a work of a professional butler. 

Aiden releases his holding and lets the rest of them hold the sword. 

"That is the right measure to fill that wooden sword's space. Every sword has their own space. So you need to know how much you need to fill the swords you hold."

"That is why we need to learn [Arts Vision]?" asked Aiden. 

"Well, if you already get used to [Mana Filling], you don't have to. Besides, having that skill will only make you easier to measure the mana filling, whether or not you can do it still depends on you."

The sword master's words once again increase their confidence. 

The sword disciple continues their training. 

Boom! 

Boom!

Even though the explosion occurs increased. 

"You've been coming here for a week straight!" "And with more severe injuries!"

Even though they always came to the Student Health Center to request medical care. They don't stop until they master the first step of Sword Caster-ing. 

"But we are so worried about their situation."

Due to the condition of the sword disciples who are injured every day, the sword class master being called to the principal's office. 

The principal's of the school church is a middle-aged man sitting in his chair, just sit quietly. The one who talks is the deputy administrator of the church, Liliana. 

"We approve your hard training on them before then, because we did see the development in them, and the sword class students did not seem getting forced into the class you give them. But now their condition is getting worse day by day with the training you gave them that you did not tell us what kind of training you give them. We felt like we could not let this happen to them anymore."

From the pressure exerted by the deputy of the church, Arsen remain calm and answer: 

"Please don't worry too much on this, Deputy Administrator, and Principal. They keep getting hurt that means their training gets improvised. Didn't you once see the training session and the cause they always get hurt, Deputy Administrator?"

A few days ago, Liliana did come to the sword class training field, and saw one of the sword disciple is blow up his sword using some kind of method. 

"And that's a technique you taught them? Isn't that a dangerous ability then?"

"Well actually, they did improve and I think they wouldn't blow themselves again in the future. If you want, I can gather them and show you their improvement to show that their wound is necessary."

Lialiana takes the offer. 

After quite a while, the sword class that attended in North Field finally being held, with special guests, the deputy administrator and the principal. Also, the fan group of the sword master.

"Man!" "What the Squirra?!" 

"I'm used to Master's fan base, but what's about with Mrs. Liliana and the principal?"

Kane and the twin have no idea about the situation. Meanwhile, their leader is in front of the representatives of the church. 

Some of the curious teachers also watched what the sword class is going to do.

Aiden stands in front of so many people, and the two of them are the high representatives of the church. He is so nervous that his right hand doesn't stop trembling. Cannot bear the pressure, he seeks help to his sword master. 

"I can't help you. You have achieved all the expectations you work for. If just simple nervous kills all of it, then everything you've done will be in vain and you won't be able to move forward."

His sword master can't help him. He is all by himself against the world. He wants to fight for it, but it's so difficult. 

"You are this class best representatives. Get it done. I'm counting on you."

The sword master finally gives him a support. That increase Aiden's confidence to the top, and made him able to do the first technique of Sword Caster-ing, [Mana Filling].

"How in the world you do that?" 

Liliana, and all the people that saw what Aiden did before got startled. 

They don't see Aiden uses an Abyssal Arts, there is even no mana covering the floating wooden sword. But the wooden sword is floating in midair, just like an absolute object.

"Try to move it."

Liliana holds toe floating wooden sword and tries to move it. But the floating wooden sword did not waver at all. 

The physically strongest woman in the church cannot move the floating wooden sword, that means nothing else can do it.

Aiden takes the floating wooden sword and holds it in a normal way.

That amazed all the people. 

"That is just the first technique of Sword Caster-ing!"

Arsen takes the people's attention. He holds one wooden sword, then launches it to the five wooden targets that have been lined up. 

The launched wooden sword piercing all the five wooden targets, and once again Sword Caster-ing amazed all the people. 

"That is the next technique they need to learn after this! After that, there are many ways to use Sword Caster-ing depending of the user capability! With that being said, I, Arsen, Master of the Sword Class, declares that all my disciples' hard training and wounds are necessary to make them strong!"

The sword master declaration made the atmosphere tensed in amazement. Then suddenly – 

Clap!

Clap! Clap!

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Arise a lot of applause from those who watched.

Liliana confused at first, but she let the spirit fill the church for the success of the sword class to prove their ability.

"Woooooo!"

"That was so – " "Cool!"

Kane and the twin jumped at Aiden in excitement. They didn't expect the hard work and pain they endured have brought them to that glory. 

Everyone smile for them. They who see the sword disciples' hard work and pain can't stop being proud.

In that happy moment, someone must have felt unhappy, and Aiden aware of that. Even so, he wanted to feel that glory even for a moment.

"Well, fuck who feels unhappy for you. There is always someone or a group who hates you, but fuck them. We only live for a moment in this world. If you don't enjoy every second of what you have, then you are the stupidest person alive."
