At that moment I realized that nothing is real peace

Hoshino observed Arthur for a while, then slowly raised the wooden sword.

"First, hold the sword properly," he said, adjusting his posture. "If you don't have a solid foundation, every attack or defense is useless."

Arthur tightened the hilt of the sword instinctively, but immediately, Hoshino shook his head.

"No, don't grasp too tight. If your hand is too tight, you will lose flexibility and react slower."

He walked closer, gently adjusting the way Arthur put his hand on the hilt.

"Thuan hand grasped above, the other hand kept below, no need to squeeze too tightly, just enough to not drop the sword. When swinging the sword, the force will come from both hands, but more importantly, he must check control its direction. "

Arthur nodded, trying to adjust according to the instructions.

"Next is the standing posture," Hoshino continued. "Standing too straight or too rigid will make you lose your balance when moving."

He kicked Arthur lightly, making her a little staggering.

"See? You're not stable," said Hoshino. "Setting foot slightly out, the hind legs are the cylinder, the focus is down a bit. Don't let yourself be so easily pushed."

Arthur followed, feeling the difference when her body became more stable.

Hoshino observed for a while, then nodded satisfied. "It's better. Now try to keep that position and practice swinging the sword."

Arthur squeezed the hilt of the sword, took a deep breath, and then started practicing each slash under the serious eyes of Hoshino.

After about 10 minutes of focusing, Arthur felt his hand began to get tired. The muscles are stiff, each time swinging the sword is slower than the previous time.

Hoshino observed for a while, then spoke:

"Alright, stop. Rest."

Arthur gasped, lowered the sword and took a step back. "My hand ... It hurts," she lamented lightly, trying to massage her wrist to reduce the feeling of aches and pains.

Shiina laughed. "But why! If you just practiced for the first time and holding the sword continuously like that, it is true."

Kazu crossed his arms and nodded. "Sword art is not only strength or speed, but also patience. Your body is not used to this, so slowly."

Hoshino nodded in agreement. "Holding the sword is not just to attack, but also to control his body. If it is too hard, you will lose control and reveal loopholes."

Arthur sighed, sat down on the nearby steps. "Learning to find harder than I thought ..."

Azama gave her a bottle of water. "Just slowly practice. No one is good at the beginning."

Arthur took a bottle of water, took a big sip, and raised his head to look at the wooden sword next to him. No matter how tired her body, she still has no intention of giving up.

Arthur drank water and looked around around the training ground, suddenly her gaze stopped in a far corner. A girl with long silver hair swinging the sword, creating powerful slashes.

As soon as she swung the last sword, a dim light flashed, leaving a sharp cut on the air, as if the space had just torn. The scene looks extremely surreal, surprised Arthur's eyes.

"That ... what is it?" She turned to ask Kazu.

Kazu glanced in the direction of Arthur, then laughed softly. "Well, it's Fuyuki, Hoshino's girlfriend. She is also the third good sword users in the school."

Arthur froze. "Good third?"

Shiina nodded. "Yeah, heard that she had ever defeated a group of five people in the school's internal match without being injured."

Arthur looked at Fuyuki again, seeing her earning a calm appearance, cold eyes but elegant.

Azama laughed. "If you want to learn real swords, maybe you should learn her too."

Arthur looked curiously watching Fuyuki, then turned to ask Kazu: "Do you know what the skill she has just used?"

Kazu nodded, his eyes glowing as if he knew something interesting. "That is called 'silence.' See, but very accurate and strong. "

Arthur heard that, feeling even more surprised. "What? A attack that can't be seen?"

Kazu nodded. "Yes. This skill is not only relying on speed, but also on the use of body energy optimally. When done, the sword will create a very small shock wave that the naked eye cannot receive out. But the effect is very strong, can cut through almost all obstacles without leaving traces. "

Arthur frowned, trying to imagine that scene. "It sounds like a very difficult thing ... How long does it take to achieve that skill?"

Kazu sighed. "She has been practicing for many years. The 'silence' image is not something that only everyone can use immediately. It is necessary to have technical perfection and absolute body control."

Arthur looked towards Fuyuki, feeling the difference between himself and her. However, she knew this was a long way to go, and if she wanted to achieve something, she had to continue her effort.

"So ... If I want to learn that skill, what should I do?" Arthur asked, his eyes steadfastly.

Kazu smiled. "First of all, you have to complete the basic skills first. If you can't control your swords well, how can you think of such high -level skills?"

Arthur nodded, determined to be lit in his heart. "Then, I will start from the basic steps."

After 15 minutes of rest, Arthur felt that his body was less tired. She stood up, picked up the wooden sword again, this time with stronger determination.

Hoshino looked at her, her eyes were still serious. "Don't try too hard. Your body is still tired, don't hurry."

Arthur glanced at him and laughed softly. "I'm fine, just try it."

She started lifting the sword, trying to remember the movement of Fuyuki that she had just observed before. As Kazu said, it was an extremely fast and powerful attack, but at the same time full of sophistication in each movement.

Arthur tried to take the first steps, the right hand holding the hilt, the left hand grabbed near the handle, creating a strong posture. She took the sword forward, then started to swing in a diagonal like Fuyuki did.

Although the body is still not completely familiar with the movements, Arthur tries to copy as accurate as possible. She could not create a dim light like Fuyuki, but at least she felt a bit of movement in the movement.

"Pay attention to the body, not just a movement," Hoshino reminded, his eyes did not leave Arthur. "If you don't control your body well, no matter how hard it is, you can't do it."

Arthur took a deep breath, continuing to practice. She did not care about fatigue, just wanted to improve her skills. The feeling of the sword in hand, although not perfect, brought her a new confidence.

"It's not easy," Arthur secretly said in his heart. "But I will do it."

Arthur continued to practice, but after a few imperfect movements, she felt her legs stumbled. She could not keep balance and fell to the ground, causing the wooden sword to splash on one side. The mild pain of her knee made her moan softly, but not long after, she stood up, wiped the dust on her pants and continued to try.

Hoshino stood observing from afar, then walked closer, his eyes were still serious. "It's enough today. You have been practicing for a long time, your body needs to rest," he said, a softer tone. "Let tomorrow continue."

Arthur sighed, nodded. Although she had not achieved as much as she expected, at least she learned a few things. She looked at Hoshino, tired but could not help but feel the determination was rising.

Shiina walked closer, smiling softly. "You need to rest. Can I take you back to the dorm?"

Arthur looked at Shiina, his eyes full of gratitude. "Thank."

The two went to the gate of the training ground. Kazu and Azama are still practicing, but Arthur feels like he has learned a lot today.

When they stepped out of the training ground, Shiina said: "You did well, Arthur. Hoshino never easily praised people."

Arthur laughed softly, but she felt a bit worried inside. "I still don't feel enough, Shiina. I have to try a lot to keep up with them."

Shiina patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, everyone used to be new. It is important that you don't give up. And I believe you will do it."

After goodbye Shiina, Arthur returned to his room, feeling a little tired but also determined. She sat down at the table, took out a blank sheet of paper and began to write down her schedule.

She thought that to achieve goals, I need a clear plan. Her schedule will be as follows:

7:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Going to school.

4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Practice swordsmanship and gun.

Arthur nodded satisfied when looking at the schedule.

The next morning, Arthur woke up early as usual, the feeling of her body was a little tired after the training day before but she was still determined. She brushed her teeth, dressed, and prepared breakfast quickly.

When she finished breakfast, she brought her backpack on her shoulder and walked out. Despite being a bit tired, but going to class is still part of her habit.

Arthur went to class on time and sat in a familiar place. The classmates were fully present, and the normal learning atmosphere covered the classroom. She looked at the board, trying to focus on the lecture, but in her mind, she kept thinking about what she would practice after school.

Lecturers stand in front of the class and notify the upcoming competency test. After explaining the process and importance of the test, he continued to share a system of strength systems that students need to understand. Each level will reflect the ability and strength of students, and also the decisive factor and the task they will receive.

Power levels include:

1. Little son - just started, basic strength.

2. Pre -potential - potential, initially awareness of strength.

3. Economic humanity - an excellent person, has trained and developed fitness.

4. Hong Dao - the threshold, has achieved a certain level of strength.

5. Saints - a god, have superior power compared to ordinary people.

6. Tien Buddha - Tien, Buddha, power has reached the peak of the world.

7. Session - Heaven, power close to Than Thanh, superhuman ability.

8. Monster - Miraculous monster, has the power to surpass the usual standards.

9. Infinity- infinity, infinite power, cannot be measured.

10. The extreme - mysterious, the power of the universe, beyond all limits.

Arthur sat down and felt a little nervous. She wondered where she would stand in this system.

Shiina turned to Arthur with a serious face. "I look forward to entering the planet level, because often the beginners will only achieve the level of the subject or the foreground. But if you get into the planet, you will have a lot of benefits," Shiina shared, The tone is a bit confident.

Arthur nodded, but there were still many questions inside her heart. "So level 10, Huyen Hoang, how many people are there? Do you know?"

Shiina shook her head. "I don't know. From level 7 and above, all information about those who achieve these higher levels are hidden. It may be because they are too strong, or have other reasons that we are not allowed to know . "

Arthur reflects on this. The highest level, with infinite strength and cannot be measured, will there really exist such people in this school? And if so, how strong they are?

When the bell rang, signaling the end of the lesson, Arthur and his friends stood up, cleaned up his belongings and stepped out of the classroom. She felt a bit tired, but there was also an excitement because after school was time to rest and lunch.

"Let's eat!" Shiina laughed and patted Arthur's shoulder.

Kazu and Azama nodded, laughing, and the group went to the cafeteria. The atmosphere became more comfortable when they sat down at the table, enjoying the meal.

"Next week is the competency test, right?" Azama asked.

Arthur nodded. "That's right. I also feel a bit worried, but at least I had time to practice. I hope it will be fine."

"Don't be too tense," Shiina encouraged. "You have done well, just calm down."

The group continued to eat and talk. They all feel that next week will be a great challenge, but it is also an opportunity for them to prove their abilities.

While eating, Arthur could not stop thinking about the upcoming competency test. She felt that she needed to learn a strong technique to be able to take part in the exam. If only based on the current power, she may have difficulty. She wanted to equip a special skill, something that would help her make an impression on the test.

Unable to hesitate, Arthur hastily finished lunch, then stood up quickly. "I'm going, I have to find Hoshino right away," she told her friends, unable to wait for them to react.

Shiina, Kazu and Azama watched, understood the determination in Arthur's eyes. "Good luck!" Shiina called.

Arthur did not pay attention to those wishes, her mind only thought of one thing: Must quickly learn techniques to be able to take the test well. She rushed out of the cafeteria, determined to find Hoshino to learn more swordsmanship.

Arthur rushed in the corridor, forever not paying attention to the person ahead. Suddenly, she hit someone, causing both of them to roll to the ground. Arthur sat up, hurriedly looked up, and realized that it was Fuyuki - the one that she saw using the wonderful technique before.

"Oh, sorry! I didn't see you," Arthur hurriedly apologized, embarrassed.

Fuyuki smiled, stood up and brushed his dust. "It's okay, I'm not intentional."

Arthur was a bit confused, but did not miss this opportunity. "Sister ... I want to ask you one thing," she said, hesitated. "Can you teach me some tactics? I think if I learn some skills, I will be able to take a better test."

Fuyuki looked at Arthur for a while and then nodded slightly. "If you want to learn, you can help. But remember, not everyone can learn and use them easily."

Arthur thanked Fuyuki. In her heart, a thought passed: She was the third strongest in the school, she would definitely teach herself the peak moves. Just like Hoshino.

Arthur felt happy. This will be an opportunity for her to learn from the strongest people and prepare for the upcoming test.

Fuyuki suddenly startled, his eyes surprised to look at Arthur. "How do you know you are good at finding and asking for help?" She asked, her curious expression.

Arthur hesitated a little and replied: "I see you using a very strong technique before, so I think I am definitely very good at finding. I am preparing for the test and want to learn more to be able to take a good exam than."

Fuyuki heard that, after a while, nodded. "So that's it. If you really want to learn, you can help. But I will have to practice hard."

Arthur rejoice in thank you Fuyuki, feeling happy to have the opportunity to learn from a good person like her.

Arthur and Fuyuki made an appointment in the afternoon after the lesson to practice swordsmanship. Arthur felt very excited, this is a great opportunity for her to learn from a good person like Fuyuki. After the conversation ended, Arthur returned to the cafeteria to meet his group of friends.

"Hey, guys, I have something to tell," Arthur said when he sat down next to his friends.

Shiina looked at her, curious. "What's wrong with you? What's so urgent?"

Arthur laughed softly. "I met Fuyuki, she was very good at finding a technique, and she agreed to teach me some moves to prepare for the test!"

Kazu and Azama looked at each other and laughed. "You're lucky. Fuyuki is one of the strongest people in this school."

"I think so," Arthur continued. "She can teach me a lot of things. This afternoon, after school, I will come to see her to practice."

"That's good then, learning from good people will definitely help you improve a lot," Shiina said, smiling. "I'm also looking forward to seeing your progress."

The group was happy that Arthur found his help. After recounting all, Arthur felt more relieved, and ready for the training session this afternoon.

After the end of the afternoon, Arthur rushed to the sword class. When she walked in, she saw Fuyuki standing there before, her face looked quite calm and waiting.

"Ms. Fuyuki," Arthur spoke up, gasping for a hurry. "I'm here."

Fuyuki smiled and looked at Arthur, not seemingly in a hurry or uncomfortable. "Good, you're on time. Is it ready?"

Arthur nodded, regained his breath and stood ready. "I'm ready, Fuyuki."

Fuyuki nodded slightly, "So let's start. Today I will show you some basic ways to use swords more effectively."

Arthur hurriedly took wooden swords and wore a protective suit. After preparing, she turned to Fuyuki, ready for the training session. Fuyuki looked at her, then gently asked:

"Yesterday Hoshino had only some basic me?"

Arthur nodded, replied, "Yes, he showed me some basic movements."

Fuyuki smiled, satisfied with the preparation of Arthur. "Then today, I will show you a few basic but very useful moves. These techniques will help me patiently and master the skills needed to enhance my ability."

Arthur nodded, his eyes lit up with determination. "I'm ready, Fuyuki."
