Training with Sword

Compared to magic spells, which could be seen with the eyes, sword techniques are specialized to enhance the physical body, and the metallic components in the sword itself reinforce this aspect. Otherwise, how do you cut the boulder before you even finish that high-speed movement? Is that even possible?

But Paul isn't conscious of using Battle aura.

So he can't explain it to me.

...

Sword-God style. It is the style I am focusing on right now.

It is a style that emphasizes striking faster than the opponent.

A certain kill that's swifter than swift.

If you fail to hit the opponent, then just "hit away" until you do.

If you compare it with the original world, it's like the style from the Satsuma prefecture.

Ghislaine is at the rank of sword king in this style, and as soon as I leave the house, I will be training with her.

So I can get the most benefits by learning it.

...

The second is the Water-God style.

This style is the complete opposite of the Sword-God style.

A defensive style that builds its foundation upon parrying and countering.

As the style primarily focuses on defence moments where one takes the initiative to attack, it is rare.

When you reach the saint rank, you can counter any kind of attack.

Any kind of attack ------ Including magic and projectiles.

It is a necessary style for classes like palace knights or nobles, where the goal is to protect someone.

I am learning it second and putting less importance on the sword God style.

It is just for my self-defence it has nothing much to it.

The third one is the North-God style.

Rather than saying the style uses sword techniques, it is better to describe it as a way of fighting.

No special techniques. Merely react based on the situation.

According to Paul, even though it's based on reactions, it also relies on feints and usage of one's surroundings.

The North-God style also includes the healing of wounds and being able to battle when afflicted with disabilities. Therefore, it is popular among mercenaries and adventurers

I don't want to learn it that much compared to Sword-God style and water-God style as I think it will take a lot of time.

And I don't have that much time to waste. I will think of learning it after returning from the demon continent.

Well, these are called the 3 Major Styles, and there are people in this world who use all 3 styles.

A swordsman who hopes to become an expert in every style and swing the sword until death.

But that type is rarely seen.

If you want to quickly become strong, it is common to just start with the strong points of each style.

Paul primarily uses the Sword-God style, but he's also capable of using the Water-God and the North-God style.

In the anime, if I remember properly, he is in advanced rank in all of this style.

"But Dad, based on what you said, isn't the North-God style the most balanced?"

"Don't be foolish. That's just using a sword to fight. It's not a technique."

"I see."

The treatment is that bad for the North God style?

Or is it just that Paul detests it?

Well, even though he hates it, Paul still has an advanced rank in the North-God style.

"Rudeus, you have the talent for magic, but there are no drawbacks in learning sword techniques. Become a magician who can avoid the Sword-God style's attacks."

"Like a..... magic swordsman?"

"Hm? A magic swordsman is a swordsman who uses magic. In your case, it's the opposite, right?"

Well, I don't understand what he is trying to say. I am just a kid, so can't he simply tell me this thing?

...

"If you activate Waterfall, Heat Island, and Icicle Field in this order, what will happen?"

"You will create fog."

"Indeed. Then how do you dispel the fog?"

"Well, reheat the earth again."

"Correct answer. Then go ahead and try again."

Creating the current situation with various magic spells in a specific order.

This is called [Melded Magic].

I have already done all the things I needed to do, and now Roxy has already learned the air saint rank magic.

She was really happy with its success. She even thanked me, telling me that if it was not for teaching me magic, she would have never realized it well.

To be honest, Roxy is really smart. If not, she would not learn it so fast, but well, now even I will be a saint rank magician in two different elements.
