A rizzer never too old

"Left." Master Hakurou announced his attack, making me quickly defend.

*Smack* but like the attack before it passed right through my wooden sword and struck me in a comically slow speed.

"Right." He announced again making me raise my sword to the left.

*Smack* and again, it shot through my swords and struck my right ribs.

"Above." He said and I defended.

*Smack.* or tanked.

"Below."

*Smack*

"Below again."

*Smack*

*Left.*

*Smack*

"Above."

*Smack*

This humiliating process went back and forth for an hour before I couldn't take it and shouted frustratingly.

"How are you doing this? Is this some skill?!!!"

Master Hakurou stopped at my outburst before shaking his head in disappointment.

"Youngun have no patience these days…" the old man sighed rubbing his goatee sagely.

"Oye old man, what patience! You have been beating me for an hour straight without telling me what I'm doing wrong."

"Even if I tell you the problem, you won't be able to defend."

"So what? You decided to beat me down till I can?" At this point, my frustration has reached a boiling point.

It's not the of beatdown of this hour only that causing my frustration but the beatdown of three days straight.

After I managed to control my super vision a few days ago, I decided to join Master Hakorou's sword class who accepted me saying I have some potential… some potential? I want the contact info of the old man's dealer. Just what is he adding in those tea leaves the old man inhales every hour or so?

"Yes, it is the fastest way to see through those faints."

"They are faints?"

"Indeed they are." The old man answered, his hand not leaving his goatee alone.

"I don't get it, I have like fifty different visions and can see your attack move in slow motion. If it was faint I would have seen through them by now."

Master Hakorou shook his head at those words. "Those fifty visions won't help. A master's faint is no different than his actual attack. They can shift them from faint to attack on a fly."

"What? How's that even possible? They have to decide beforehand, they cannot just cancel the attack without feeling the opposite force and inertia."

"You are right." Master Hakurou agreed, rubbing his goatee. God damn! I want to pull that goatee.

"But…" he continues. "Mastering the sword flow makes them irrelevant, something one needs to master before calling themselves a Sword Master."

"How can they become irrelevant? They are fundamental laws of physics." In my frustration, I had completely forgotten just what kind of world I was in which Master Hakurou didn't waste time to remind.

He summons Gobta training some distance away and had him hold his wooden sword above his head like a pole.

Master Hakurou attacked the wooden sword and sure enough, I saw the sword fazing through the sword.

Just how?! I wanted to question but Master Hakurou didn't give me time as he slashed the sword again. This time his slash was different, just as it was about to hit the wooden sword it did a ninty degrees sudden turn upwards, passing the wood in a blur almost missed by my sight. The slash then did a one-eighty turn downwards only to do another ninety-degree turn to return to its original lane. The most important part, all this motion happened in a flow similar to Bang's martial arts.

"That's bogus!"

"Bogus?"

"I mean it's illogical," I answered.

Master Hakurou sighed, a sigh I recognised my middle school principal having when I said breaking someone's nose was normal. A sigh of giving up on me.

"Why do you have to have to find logic in everything? Does Rimuru-sama's slime body able to eat, sleep, think, and feel emotions make sense." Master Hakurou asked making me shake my head.

"The world is unlogical try to see it as such."

"Mr Hakurou is right, Kal. You have to drop your old thinking. I know most otherworlders such as you come from a world where science prevails but this isn't one of them." A voice interrupted our disciple-master conversation.

"Oh, Miss Bellatrix please drop the Mr, just call me Hakurou." Before I could even greet the old maid, my master walked up to her.

"As you say, Hakurou."

"That's better by the way I heard you're returning to Baharuth Empire today." Master Hakurou asked completely forgetting our conversation.

"You heard correct, Hakurou." The old maid replied.

"Such sad news, I wanted to invite you to Shakky's tea house since I heard you are a fellow tea connoisseur."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. Trust me Shakky's tea is the best I have tasted in the few regions I have visited."

"Then we can go now, I'm free currently."

"Ohh! Then let's head there."

The old maid and the old master conversed, fixing a date right before my shocked eyes.

"What the fuck did I just watch," I question when the two oldies disappeared before my eyes.

"Oh! That was old man rizzing the old lady." Gobta who also witnessed the exchange answered.

"Right… wait! How do know what rizzing means?"

Gobta looked at me confusedly, answering my question with another question. "Did you forgot using the word when you kissed Shuna-chan?"

"What?! Is this the reason she always blushes and runs from me?"

"Dunno 'bout that," Gobta answered moving towards other hobgoblins practising

I sighed before moving towards the house provided to me.

Reaching there I saw Rei lying on the couch lazily.

"Prepare, we'll be heading towards the Adventure Guild to take a mission." Instructing Rei, I headed for the bathroom upstairs.

After washing away all the shame and humiliation Hakurou gave, I went downstairs, donning my Kryptonian suit below my knight armour.

"You ready?" I asked Rie who nodded.

"Then let's go."

Heading towards the Tempest branch of Adventure Guild, I was greeted by many people recognising me. However, I didn't find their recognition appealing… as most only recognised me for the things I did on the welcome feast night two weeks ago, something I didn't feel good about.

My drunken self did many things I wouldn't have done normally.

But leaving aside the incident on my first day, my days in Tempest after that have been fruitful. In the first few days, I was able to suppress my hearing to a level I could bear it without Rimuru's help which prompted him to leave for his student.

The next thing I practised was my super vision which was harder to control since I had no one to help.

While the progress was slow, I was able to control them and with some focus can change to different visions. I also trained my mana on the side finally able to break through Tier 3 with elctro school which was surprising. I thought my light school would be one to break through not electro school.

Later I consulted with the dryad Tranny, she told me my affinity with lightning is better than my light. Though she says my light affinity is catching up.

After she told me that I asked how one's affinity gets decided which she answered saying our soul that stores Magicule also decides our affinity. Meaning that electro affinity was my original affinity while light affinity comes from my Kryptonian body that is slowly changing my human soul.

"So what kind of mission are we taking today, Aniki." Rei's cheerful voice broke me out of my thoughts.

"We will take our usual one."

"So that means we are subjugating bandits again, huh?" Rei muttered, his excited expression fading into a fed-up one.

Well, I can't really blame him since we really did take only bandit or pirate subjugation missions, rarely taking on other kinds of missions.

But that also comes with a reason. If the path to True Hero and True Demonlord is the same as Tensura then I wanted to save as many souls as possible to create a Hero egg. If I remember correctly there are only two ways to create the Hero egg.

One is to get the blessing of great light spirit, speaking of which with my light affinity I might have a great chance to get it.

While the other is to save many souls, around ten thousand or so.

I can also go for Demonlord seed but I am not ready to massacre that many people just yet. I may be preparing myself to take lives at some point considering the world I'm living in but that point is quite far. It is not easy especially when I promised myself to never treat life as casually as my father did.

Even on a bandits subjugation mission, I have taken down all the bandits without killing them much to the annoyance of Rei who hated dragging back those bandits to the Guild.

"Aniki! I got the mission, but it's far we have to move out of Jura forest." Rei said exiting the Guild building.

I smiled at him making him frown, before he could react I pulled him and carried him on my shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"No!" He shouted as I took off the ground. Getting the Feel of activation of my flight was the only good thing that happened from my close-death encounter with the chibi destroyer.
