Wind's Hidden Talent

The young official ran to a side of the room before sitting down half-hearted, he grumpily began reading the book's contents as he didn't want to get beaten by Fell. Although he still never took a single blow from Fell, and he was sure that his fragile body would break on the spot if Fell slapped him too hard.

Fell quietly took out his sword from his spatial pocket, and soon Soldier's Fortune flew out of its scabbard. He then quietly began practicing his swordplay in the endurance room while Wind focused on reading the books that Fell gave him. "Moon Above" and "Sun Bellow" were repeated dozens of times, no Energy nor Will were being added to his movements. His body moved fluidly under the room's bright light; his body flashed from place to place as he executed one form after the other.

Wind would sometime raise his head from the pile of books in front of him, and he would notice that Fell's sword would disappear from his field of view from time to time. The only thing left would be a soft light that would slowly dance in front of him. As the young official had gotten used to using Will as energy, he was sure about himself that it wasn't an application of the Soul System and that it was purely sword skills. Respect appeared on his eyes as he lost himself in his senior brother's dance, he truly admired him as a cultivator. As the cultivator who introduced him to this grander world.

Time flowed and soon Wind finished reading the first book "Foundational Breathing Technique". In the end, having worked as an official at a young age meant that he was quite well versed in the way of words. Thus, he had no problem in understanding the subjects that were introduced to him in the book. As if a strange hunger had been awakened from seeing his brother train, he immediately delved in the second book and soon enough he lost himself in the studies of "Relation between breathing and walking".

By the name of the book, he had thought that it was written for children. But soon enough shock began appearing on his face as he understood that he had been too complacent. The more he read, the more he understood the importance of breathing in sync with one's own movement. Due to the earlier physical training session, he found himself relating to several of the book's explanation making him fully understand what he was reading. An hour passed, and he had turned the last page of the book before sighing.

"You truly can't judge a book by its cover… The author is simply a genius, simplifying those contexts that even children can understand them", he thought as he closed the book. His hand moved on its own as he picked the last book he had been given.

As he had already fallen back into his scholar habits, he attacked the third and largest book he was given. "Synchronizing your breath with your movement" If the second book was about simplifying complicated subject in a single sentence. Then this one was the complete opposite, detail after detail about the importance of forming a perfect relationship between breathing and moving were given in this book. As it was also the biggest book, it also took him the longest time from the three as he completely lost track of time.

He would sometime slap himself in the face while muttering how big of an idiot he had been. While other times he would read the same sentence dozens of times before assimilating its content. Fell had stopped training his swordplay for a while but didn't stop the young official in his reading mania as he knew that knowledge was equivalent to power. A satisfied smile could be seen on his face as he quietly left the Endurance room, leaving the young official in his own world.

'Although he does act like a child from time to time. In the end, he truly is an official, what an unparalleled focus', he thought as he saw Wind eat one book after another.
