The process was difficult.

Ugh

It was not an easy task to repeatedly get hit and recover to fight again.

He didnt die, but the pain didnt subside either.

But as Kairos had said, he began to get used to the pain.

Since his body would eventually recover, the pain was only temporary.

[Counterattack while following his movements! That metalhead is not just fast and strong! Hes just skilled in swordsmanship!]

Counterattack?

[If you keep trying to dodge and block, youll just get hit! You fool! You have to counterattack and take the initiative! Make him block or dodge your attacks! Havent you heard that the best defense is a good offense?]

Otto pondered Kairos advice.

Counterattack I have to attack, so that Akan cant beat me easily. Its a common saying, but its an undeniable fact.

Following Kairos advice, Otto attempted to attack instead of defending or evading.

Hmm! Are you trying to find the answer?

As Otto began to rebel in earnest, a satisfied voice seemed to flow from Akans helmet.

But you have only taken the first step.

Gack!

Learning starts now.

AAAAGHH!

Though the result did not change.

It was impossible for Otto, who didnt even know the basics of swordsmanship, to learn invincible swordsmanship with just a few words of advice from Kyros.

Even with Transcendent Being to increase his swordsmanship proficiency by 25%, it wouldnt make much differenceDiscover new chapters at novelhall.com

***

On the fifth day since Otto entered the Sanctuary.

Conrad, who visited the Sanctuary out of curiosity, showed interest in Camille, wondering if he had any special characteristics.

Your name is Camille?

Yes, thats correct.

Ive heard of you. They say youre a knight with an unwavering spirit. Many lords have been interested in you.

Thats an exaggeration.

He didnt even realize he needed to eat or sleep.

He focused solely on learning from Akans movements, as advised by Kairos.

[Turn your waist more! What are you doing?]

Im trying my best too!

[Youre too slow! When will you become strong if you learn so slowly?]

Otto and Kairos exchanged brief conversations from time to time

Then, at some point

Clang!

Ottos sword landed on Akans neck.

.!

Otto was surprised to see that his attack had succeeded.

It was the first effective hit he had landed since starting his practice with Akan.

II did it?

You finally learned.

Akans voice, mixed with laughter, came from beneath his helmet.

I learned? But I only landed one hit.

That one hit is the beginning. Youve already learned the invincible sword. You still have a long way to go, but you have a solid foundation.

Really?

At that moment

[Hey, congratulations, Otto!]

Kairos voice congratulated Otto.

[Im honestly surprised that you succeeded in learning the invincible sword!]

Me? Did I really learn it? Otto thought, but couldnt believe it.

[Hmm, it seems that you still cant feel it yet!]

Does that make sense? How long have you been learning? Otto asked.

[Well, its been five years, which isnt a short amount of time, but its not enough to say that youve completely mastered the basics of swordsmanship. Some people might not even learn it in their whole lifetime.]

I see

[Otto, you did it. Youve mastered the basics of swordsmanship in just five years, so from here on out, progress should come quickly.]
