Chapter 23 - The Blooming Of Tomorrow

The sword had a domineering presence around it, It had the overwhelming might that were somewhat ineffable to describe and having the unique and queer strength that may even come from the distant stars. The lightness of the sword and it's intricate design were elegant to look at as if only those who are worthy or even a maiden of purity can weilded only by that person, that is the view in my own perspective.

From the looks of it this sword could be a double handed sword like a gladiators weapon yet the sword was weightless under the possession of the my own hand.

"You can carry it single handedly Rius?"

"Yes I can"

Praises can heard from the crowd of students, whispers like bees scattering and jealousy of the eyes of the envy were sprouting along with the people.

The teacher's face was dumbfounded at the moment then inhaled and exhaled composing herself.

"What is that sword!"she exclaimed going near me, she was filled with curiosity and craving for some reason "C-can I try holding the sword?" She huffed with an excited expression painted on her face.

Why did she make that face? She looks like a dog waiting for the owner to throw the stick or what.

"Uhm of course"

I handed the sword over to her by the hilt of the sword. Upon handing her the sword, it stuck itself to the ground as if it had the weight of a mountain in the sudden attempt.

This made her surprised and confused.

"Oh my"

"What did just happened?" I questioned the unexplainable scene just now.

"It seems that the sword rejected the touch of another person while other sword can be weilded by another user this weapon is different although when someone uses your weapon you can automatically teleport your own weapon to your own will except the more stronger your will, the more stronger the response of the weapon"

"I see"

"Ma'am?" Rius called.

"Yes?"

"How about I demonstrate?"

Vinanciel's throws his sword far away, next was he reached his hand out in the air pointing to the sword being thrown, it stopped midway on falling as it stays in the air floating then at a fast speed it came back to Vinanciel's hand, doing no harm to the user. Everyone was impressed letting off voices of gasps and praises, their lift up like a fire in ablaze as if making them inspired. Perhaps this was the attraction that Vinanciel's gives off to the crowd and by that I am impressed as well.

"If you're having trouble you can also teleport your sword like this"

He stabs the sword on the ground and walks away making a gap between about a couple of metres to be exact. Again he reaches out to the sword. Like a spark of dusts the sword disperses into dust and gathers into one object in his hands.

"Wow!"

"One person's will can do that?"

They gossips under their breath while I ponder at the moment. If that's the case in a one on one fight I can teleport my sword back or control it's way back meaning it can be used for strategic means.

I perceived it in a way that I've never even thought before then I stare at my hands they were trembling not knowing the cause.

"What a great presentation!"

I smiled at myself remembering the night we slept together in one bed in his room. He was quite the gentleman that I've never expected him to be such a man of possessive traits of course they were hints of just by his own actions. Ah!why am I thinking of Alistair...

"Hey Rius wanna spar?" A voice behind me lurks. This fellow omega was the one who got Durendal.

"Uhm I don't have any techniques that may satisfy your own hunger of amusement if that's what you are looking for"

"Well to tell you the truth that is what I seek!"

Like the wind was his guide through to me our swords clash, I was unprepared by his strike however I blocked on time to his sudden assault.

"You blocked that? How impressive! Well my hands seems to be itchy after the years of training but even though it's quite unfair I still needed to test the durability of that sword you carry"

What does he mean by that? Using me as a pawn to your own needs of amusement is not what I needed at all! Of course I may act shy but that's only when his presence is by my side and other other people that I'm quite close with and by this hostility towards me, I will not abide by my own tolerance.

He strides through the wind again, the collision of our swords banged in each swing, the trembling hands that I saw before was somehow alleviated out of my hand from when the battle started.

He took a step back.

"I must ask, who trained you?"

"I don't know my body is moving on it's own"

"If that's the case then I shall put more force to my swings then!"

"Teacher Malldarias! Look!"

We took the attention of our peers and teacher. He forwarded a fast leap towards me creating consecutive strikes at me, I could only back off to this instance.

"What?is that all you can do?"

It seems that my stamina is greatly consumed from this fight yet to my determination, I gripped to the hilt of my sword strongly and while I'm at it, the form of it changes into a more light sword becoming an Estoc. So it was my turn as if I my body was moving on it's own, this feeling...this movement...I had a sense of familiarity. Before I know it I was already in front of him creating swings, the might of our swords clashed in a dance of flamboyance.

I tripped his leg after I quickly moved behind him and punched his gut.

Keuk!

He spat out saliva while being flown into air. The eyes of our teacher was focused on our fight not forfeiting the match and to that end I never paid attention to it in the first place.

Balls of light came to my direction, to my response I cut them in half but a surprise came after those consecutive attacks he was in front of me already. Ah I see those magic bullets were just for show as a bait, for now my sword was already swung so a thought came into mind in this moment. I take a step backwards then tried out Vinanciel's technique earlier blocking the surprise attack of this person.

"You teleported your sword?!"

'That surprise attack should've landed a direct hit on him! How did he adjust so quick?' He thought.

"Alright that's enough!" Shouted of our teacher "You two should learn how to read the room! We are currently in to practicing your swords however some of you seems to be lacking in etiquette to not have glitchy hands all over don't you think that it's rather rude to fight in the school grounds?"

We shut our mouths, I wanted to oppose but I didn't because the reason was I might get nagged.

I snapped out of it making my head shook.

"Although it wasn't quite bad of a performance in the first day but please don't boast yourself just because you have already summoned your signature weapons got it?!" She shouted sternly and I sighed. She then got back to the crowd of students inspecting the weapons of my classmates in excitement.

"Hey"

I wandered for the voice and it seems to come from this person that I just fought.

"Please don't talk to me"

"Hey! don't ignore me! Ofc I was just interested"

"How much interested? To the point you'd bare your sword to me?" I said in annoyance if I could just put a bomb above his head and let it explode I'd be more than happy to be in prison.

"Sheesh but anyway" he comes closer reaching his hands out for a handshake. "My name is Kiel it's very nice to meet you"

A rush of a few students came to us with their eyes in sparkles.

"You two are so cool!"

"Rius how did you do that? It's amazing to think about it!"

"The match was awesome how can I be like you?"

I had a contorted expression on my face nevertheless I could've died back there from his strike. My left eye twitched as my gaze were on Kiel.

"H-hey don't give me that look! I apologize!"

On the other side Vinanciel was watching us.

'Am I blind or am I seeing my friend gets snatched away from me?'
