Five years have shadrex spots repeated going to norshan as he seek guidance,his sword technique it's as sharp as the wind as he train relentlessly .
Norshan quietly watch shadrex as he swings the wooden sword .
The training field was quiet except for the wind through the trees. A thin layer of fallen leaves laying on the ground brown , red, and brittle.shadrex stepped into the clearing, barefoot, wooden sword held lightly in one hand.
He inhaled once.The air around him changed.as his eyes began to glow red shadrex closed his eyes
A sudden pulse of energy began to flow outward, and the leaves on the ground vibrating,lifting, rising, swirling upward as though caught in an unseen spiral. Half a dozen hung perfectly still in mid-air, suspended as if time had paused just for them.
He moved.The wooden sword cut forward with a low forced, its arc precise enough to thread through the floating leaves without brushing a single one. His footwork was silent, each step placing him exactly where balance demanded. Every swing ended in complete stillness, his muscles locked with absolute control.he took another breath.
The suspended leaves drifted apart, spreading into a wider circle around him. He rotated his wrist, blade angling downward, and struck with a series of rapid, controlled blows. Each strike split the air sharply, yet the force was so measured that even the floating leaves barely trembled.A single leaf began to fall.He was there instantly one clean step, the wooden sword thrusting forward. The tip stopped a hair's breadth beneath the leaf, holding it aloft on a displaced air. It hover Then he eased the blade away, letting it descend.
Before it could touch the ground, he slashed upward—swift, precise—splitting the air in such a controlled burst that the leaf shot upward again, caught in a column of rising wind.Sweat rolled down , but his breathing stayed calm.
Finally, he ended the routine by striking once more in a seamless horizontal sweep.as the wind spread outwardly touching norshan.norshan spoke inwardly perfectly,he didn't seek brute force or just control he seeks balance.
Shadrex met norshan saying how much time do I need to master wind shield, norshan reply saying you feel it when your ready .
Shadrex left norshan place to get milk,fish an apple taking the wooden sword with him.
Shadrex walk up to the town as he gazed the sky as he spoke softly why won't norshan let me use a sword,he murmur am stuck with this chop stick .
Shadrex barley keeping his life with exhaustion an tiredness wish he could just be with Gladys savouring her sweet dish well dream don't last when suddenly corned by fanc an Ricco.The twins 15 three years above shadrex began threatening shadrex there are both going to beat him to pulp, shadrex spoke calmly what did you want, Ricco "oi your going to pay us" fanc interrupted saying we are from walls of blade in the capital you she give us some respect.there both laugh saying you should pay to keep you life.
Everywhere went silent as shadrex spoke I haven't heard of it, smiles vanish from fanc an Ricco furious who on berls doesn't know about the walls of blade it's is for elite warriors you punk, shadrex having enough turn to leave when grab by Ricco, shadrex swiftly control his hands an pushing him backwards there both launch at him.
Shadrex divert their attacks bitt Ricco an ranc keep using brute force to subdue him
Ricco and Ranc lunged forward, their fists swinging like hammers aimed to crush Shadrex. Dust rose from the ground as their boots pounded in a synchronized pattern of sheer brute force. Ricco's punch cut through the air, leaving a faint trail, while Ranc's elbow followed.
Shadrex stood calm, eyes focused, body loose but perfectly balanced. As Ricco's fist bore down, Shadrex shifted slightly, letting the blow glance off their arm. It was like a wave breaking harmlessly against a rock. Ranc's follow-up strike came faster, yet Shadrex's hand shot out, palm brushing the incoming blow. The movement was fluid, effortless leaves small waves in his deflection, caught mid-air.
With each attack, Shadrex's hands moved in gently but fast an precise, redirecting the raw power rather than meeting it head-on. Ricco's shoulders tensed in frustration as his punch slid harmlessly along Shadrex's forearm. Ranc gritted his teeth, spinning to land a kick, only to have it neutralized by the faint shift from Shadrex's movement the air around his hands shake like gathering of waves
Shadrex countered with a flick of the wrist, sending a ripple through the space between them. Trembled, scattering as though carried on invisible currents. Neither Ricco nor Ranc could land a solid hit; every strike they launched was absorbed, deflected, or redirected with an almost artistic precision. The harder they pushed, the more Shadrex's movements seemed to grow, flowing likehd welded the air around him, until both attackers stumbled back, winded and baffled.both ranc an Ricco panting, fists useless, as Shadrex's calm figure stood with a cold gazed as it began to glow deep red,his eyes pupil tighten ranc an Ricco already terrified from his eyes felt fear as he turn an walk away.
