Swordsaint

"Phwa~~ this water fills nice!" The old man exclaimed as he finishes drinking the water from my pouch.

"Finish it quick." I look at the man in disgust after what he have just done.

"HEY! I was just trying to help!"

"Yeah right."

After the man passed out he quickly let go of the little girl. I calmed the little girl as she was crying when it happened.

It turned out that the little girl was lost, and she was trying to find her mother when she stumbled on the old man. The old man was trying to help the little girl as she felt like crying when he grabbed her arm and she started calling for help.

Anyways, I misunderstood the whole thing. Well, if you see it in my perspective, there really wasn't to be misunderstood.

In the end, we left the old man passed out in the street and looked for her mother. We found out from one of the guards that someone was looking for a missing children a few meters away from the old man.

Following that info, we went into that area and started yelling so that the mother would hear.

And, rightfully, the mother heard our yell and went to embrace her child. After talking for a bit they soon returned home while I went back to the old man.

I tried waking the old man by shaking him but he still won't wake up. So I went into a more practical method-

-Pouring water into his head.

And hey, it worked perfectly and the man is now awake.

"Hey old man, have this too" I threw him some of my remaining sourdough bread wrapped in paper bags.

"For real??? You're way to kind boy." After receiving the bread. He munched into it like a savage cayote feasting on a dead bison.

"Anyways, what's up with you old man. You're homeless or something? You should really go find a job before you're bones turns into dust due to aging."

"HAHAHAHAHA, you're quite a funny boy. I like you." The old man said wiping off his mouth with his arms.

"EW, NO THANK YOU! Have some of my money and don't ever come see me again."

I tossed him 5 silver coins while pocketing 4 for myself.

The old man stared at the money I gave him and then closed his eyes. For a moment, I don't know what he was thinking, but his next word would soon change my future.

"You know what, I don't need money. Kid, you're a swordsman right? How about you learn how to use the sword from me?"

"Old man, are you joking?"

"Does it look like I'm joking?"

I stared at the old mans eyes and he really wasn't joking. No, in fact, he was serious, too serious. As if the world would end if I won't become his disciple or something.

However, no matter how serious you are old man. I still won't accept. I decided to enjoy my life right now, something like learning how to use the sword was something I thought that I would do after travelling.

"Nope! I mean, if you think about it. Can YOU really teach me the sword? If you were a great swordsman you wouldn't be beggin for money and wate- WHAT IN THE WORLD!!!"

When I was trying to refuse the old man. I tried being cocky about it and made stupid hand gestures, and seeing this opportunity the man grabbed my arms and before I know it...

I'm in the sky!

"Hey old man... How are we floating right now!!"

"Because I chose the jump so high in the sky and now we're floating?"

What is up with this old man!!! How can you even jump so high that you ended up floating in the sky?!?!

Wait no, how is he even floating? After jumping, gravity should have pulled you down back to the ground. And also, how am I floating? Is it because the old man is still holding my arm?

"You're curious aren't you? How about this, if you decide to become my desciple I'll tell you how I'm doing this right now here in the sky."

...! WHO THE HELL IS THIS OLD MAN?

If this old man is so powerful that he can float mid air in the sky of all places! An ability this crazy can only be down by someone powerful.

Wouldn't it be worth to be his desciple?

Maybe... He can even turn me into someone powerful! Being his desciple wouldnt be so bad, right?

"Fine, I'll be your desciple... Now, tell me how are you doing this and WHO are you."

"Good answer, that's what I like to hear!

First of, how am I doing this? Sword styles consists of different kinds of swords, and as far as I know, there is only 5 swords.

SWORD OF ARTS, a swordstyle that tells us the different ways to use the sword to attack and kill. Inside this sword, are sword arts replicated from nature, like the attack of beasts, the storms in the sky, the falling of petals, the hunt of predators, and so much more.

SWORD OF AEGIS, unlike the sword of arts, the sword of aegis is to defend it's user. This involves using reflexes to parry and block attacks, and movement to dodge them.

SWORD OF MIND, the usage of mind. The sword of mind relies on your strong mental ability to cut through illusions and inner demons that could potentially kill or break you. This could also be used to cut through other people's mentality.

SWORD OF SPIRIT, the swordstyle I'm using to fly. It's the ability for you to recreate attacks and swords using only your aura. This swordstyle is crucial when fighting the phantoms of the world. Such as, ghost, remnants, curses, and more.

Now, if you try going near enough me. You can stand into my sword spirit."

After processing the information of what the old man said. I slowly stepped in the vicinity of the old man, and he was right. It was as if I'm standing on solid ground yet I could not see anything.

"What about the final sword? What is it?"

"You'll know once you learned the other swords, understood?"

"Uwah. Okay then, I'm changing the question. Before I stepped into your sword spirit, how did I manage to float?"

"Oh, that. I just simply thought you as my sword. That's all."

"What???"

"I mean, you wouldn't want your sword to just fall from the sky don't you?"

"Well I guess that is true..... Just who the hell are you old man?"

"Who I am...? Hmmm, ah, why not? Do you know about heroes more than a 1000 years ago? You can just call me Schwert."

Heroes, 1000 years ago? Scwert where did I hear about Schwert.

What was the names in the story... Eh, I'll just repeat the story

A long time ago, when the world was in danger from the great demon lord, the seven heroes erupted victory as they sealed the demon into depths of hell. The hero of light Louche, the saint of stars Stella, the beast fighter Restia, The paladin guardian Metwan, The elven sharpshooter Windlette, the wise sage Esweirn, and.....

THE UNSTOPPABLE SWORDSAINT SCHWERT!!!

"Eh?! You're the sword saint???? I thought you died in the battle of freedom!?! That's what it said in the stories!"

"I'll spare you the details, since you're my desciple now. I get to train you as much as I want! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Prepare for my revenge on you for splashing water on my head, KID."

well damn, I'm going to die.
