03.Swordsmanship techniques

The sound of clashing swords echoed throughout the training grounds as Arthur and Paul engaged in their daily practice. As they sparred, Arthur couldn't help but notice the limitations of his father's teaching. Despite being a skilled swordsman himself, Paul struggled to convey the intricacies of the Sword God Style clearly and consistently, leaving Arthur feeling confused and frustrated.

Despite this setback, Arthur's previous life as Arthur Pendragon gave him an inherent understanding of swordsmanship. As he moved, his body seemed to flow with the Sword God Style, performing each move with precision and grace. It was as if he had been practicing this style for years, and his movements left Paul in awe.

Despite his young age of three, Arthur was quickly learning the Sword God Style, and he excelled in his training. Paul noticed his son's rapid progress and couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Arthur, you're picking this up so quickly! It must mean I'm an excellent teacher," Paul exclaimed with a proud smile.

Arthur, respecting his father but also recognizing the truth, replied, "Father, your passion for teaching is admirable, but I believe it's more a testament to the effectiveness of the Sword God Style and your innate talent as a swordsman. You're a great swordsman, but teaching might not be your forte."

Paul was momentarily taken aback by Arthur's candid response. He realized that his son was right. While he excelled in the art of swordsmanship, he still had much to learn when it came to teaching others. He chuckled and admitted, "You might be onto something, Arthur. Teaching is a skill in itself, and it seems I have much to improve in that regard."

Their training continued, with Arthur mastering the Sword God Style at an impressive pace. He was now a formidable swordsman, and his father couldn't have been prouder. The bond between father and son grew stronger as they shared this journey of skill and self-discovery.

In this new world of magic and swordsmanship, Arthur Greyrat's abilities and experiences from his previous life as Arthur Pendragon continued to shape his destiny. The mysteries of his reincarnation and the potential of his future adventures awaited, guided by his family and his exceptional talents.

As they continued their training, Paul also introduced Arthur to the Water God Style, recognizing the importance of a well-rounded education in different swordsmanship styles. In their secluded training area, Paul began teaching Arthur the techniques of the Water God Style, emphasizing its defensive nature and the art of parrying and counter-attacking.

"Arthur, the Water God Style focuses on defense and waiting for the right moment to strike back," Paul explained. "It's about reading your opponent's movements and using your senses to block and counter their attacks. It's a patient and strategic style."

Paul demonstrated the "Flow" technique, the basic counter-attack that could be applied to all Water God Style techniques. Once mastered, it allowed the user to return any attack that came their way. It was considered the backbone of the style and the most important technique.

He also introduced Arthur to the concept of provocation, a technique used to make the opponent take the initiative. "Provocation is a way to control the flow of the battle and make your opponent make the first move," Paul added. "It can be a powerful tool in the right hands."

As their training continued, Paul noticed that Arthur, despite his young age, displayed a natural aptitude for the Water God Style. His ability to read the flow of magic and respond to attacks with precision was impressive.

Paul couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his son's quick learning. He believed that his teaching had played a significant role in Arthur's progress. However, he also recognized that Arthur's innate talents and potential were the driving force behind his success.

With each training session, father and son bonded over the Water God Style, strengthening their unique connection, and preparing Arthur for the challenges he would face in the world of adventurers.

In their secluded training area, Paul Greyrat, a seasoned adventurer, stood before his young son, Arthur. The air was filled with anticipation as Paul prepared to pass on his knowledge of the North God Style, a versatile and adaptive school of swordsmanship.

"Arthur, today, I'll introduce you to the North God Style," Paul began, his voice filled with the wisdom of experience. "This style isn't about rigid techniques, my boy. It's about survival, adaptability, and using your surroundings to your advantage."

Arthur gazed up at his father, a mix of curiosity and determination in his young eyes. He understood the significance of this moment - learning a style that focused on adaptability and resourcefulness, qualities essential for any adventurer.

As Paul demonstrates the core characteristics of the North God Style, Arthur listened intently, his mind eager to absorb this new knowledge. This was an opportunity to expand his repertoire of skills, and he was determined to make the most of it.

"As a North God Stylist, you'll learn to use tricks and unconventional methods to outmaneuver your opponents," Paul continued his gestures illustrating the concepts he described. "It's about being resourceful, Arthur, and that's a valuable skill for any adventurer."

Arthur nodded, his young mind processing the information. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in learning from his father(although he can only understand because of his past life knowledge), a master of this unique style. But he also knew that he had a long journey ahead to truly grasp the intricacies of the North God Style.

With a confident and experienced hand, Paul demonstrated some of the fundamental techniques of the North God Style. As he showcased each move, he provided guidance, encouraging Arthur to ask questions and seek clarity.

"See, Arthur, the Sword Throwing Techniques are a last resort," Paul explained as he executed a swift and precise sword throw, the blade spinning violently. "When you're cornered or immobilized, you can use this to turn defense into offense. It's all about speed and precision."

Arthur watched his father's demonstration with rapt attention, absorbing the nuances of the technique. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the speed and accuracy with which Paul executed the move.

Paul moved on to the Four-Legged Form, displaying its agility and grace. "This is about being unpredictable, my boy," he emphasized. "You mimic the movements of a beast race, making yourself a smaller target while drawing your weapon. It's all about closing the gap and striking when they least expect it."

Arthur tried to imitate the Four Legged Form, feeling the difference in balance and mobility. It was a challenging technique, but he was determined to master it.

"Hazy Cross," Paul declared as he demonstrated the maneuver. "It's a tactic that requires quick thinking and precision. You throw both swords away and draw the remaining one to exploit a gap in the enemy's defense. It's all about creating an opening."

Arthur watched the move closely, recognizing the strategic aspect of the technique. It was a valuable addition to his growing arsenal of skills.

Finally, Paul introduced the Teardrop Bullet, a move that was as unconventional as it was effective. "Sometimes, you need to create chaos and distraction," he explained. "This technique involves throwing a bag filled with powdered spices at the enemy. It's unexpected and can be a game-changer."

As the training session continued, father and son engaged in a dialogue of learning and teaching. Arthur asked questions, seeking to understand the nuances of each technique, while Paul provided guidance and encouragement(although some were gibberish)
