After 95 swings the sword could not withstand his force and broke , for a moment shin's red eye shined like the crimson moon .
Gibbert bluttered " what the hell " , he was shocked by the sight in front of his eyes,out of hundreds of cadets no one has ever broke sword by just swings it few times
Looking at broken wooden sword Shin said to Gibbert " sir , can I get a more durable sword "
Gibbert thought " it is not the sword that is weak , you you monster how hard did you swing , and how did he possess such strength at young age " gibbert decided to not say these words he said " I think this was a worn out sword , I will get you another one "
Hiro also saw how that sword broke in Shin's hand , he was already aware of his strength, he saw him beating rank 1 boar in raw strength, it was not wonder that a normal wooden sword can withstand his strength"
Gibbert went to get a new sword for shin , when gibbert was gone hiro said to " you should control your strength a little , these sword are made for unranked, and your strength is atleat advance rank 1 "
" But I was just swinging and it broke , i did not even use half of my strength "
" Ok forget it you monster, I am sure brother gibbert would have figured out your strength surpass unranked, so he must be bringing a more durable sword ".
After a bit , Gibbert was back with a new wooden sword , and gave it to shin , Shin took it , it was a little heavier than previous sword , and swing it few times to get a feel
Gibbert said " now slash with it , it 100 times horizontaly , 100 times verticaly , and 100 times diagonaly"
After receiving hi task , Shin swing his balde , this time he did not put much strength in his sword , with each slash his joints feel more relaxed , after 100 slashes , he was tired , sweat was dripping from his body , his breath was heavier, his body was in pain , it was screaming at him to stop , but ignoring all the pain and exhaustion, he continued to slash, after 100 more swings it was getting very hard to even move his muscle , it was very painful to even lift his arms , sweat has drenched all his clothes .
Aaarghhhh , he screamed * it is hurting even when i am gripping this sword * , his body was at its limit , normally slashing with sword was easy for him but he was circulating energy in his body and swinging his sword at the same time ,so the burden his body was experiencing was greater.
* I will not stop , either my body breaks or I complete my task *
He was torturing himself with his stubborness, but even with this pain he continued to swing his sword .
Hiro and Gibbert were watching him , they were seeing how he was struggling with each slash and how his body was screaming in pain , his legs were shaking , then hiro said to Gibbert " teacher I think you should stop him , or else he will damage his body " there was concern in his face .
Gibbert replied to him while looking at Shin " if he even can't swing his sword 400 times i don't think he is worthy , he may have monstrous strength , but if he does not have strong will then it is all useless, and he is a smart kid , he knows what he is doing ".
Shin was making grunting sound with each swing , but even then he continued to swing , blood was now dripping from his nose , and his red eyes were shining faintly, barely noticeable, Hiro could not longer endure this , he approached shin , and shouted at him .
" hey shin stop or else your body will break" .
He shouted at him multiple times, but shin was to focused on his sword strikes that he did not even see that Hiro was trying to stop him , he was in a trance , he only felt his pain and swinging of his blade .
After 80 slashes his movement slowed slowed down greatly, those who saw him , to them it would appear as if he was swinging his sword in slow motion, but everybody was busy in their own training, only Gibbert and Hiro were witnessing his suffering, faint wisp of aura was leaking out of his body , not noticeable to anyone,not even Gibbert, even shin could not see it , but he could feel it.
With forcing every strength of his body shin striked his last strike , and after that he fell on ground exhausted, Hiro ran towards him with pouch of water in his hands . He helped shin in drinking water who was lying on ground.
Shin's body was very fast in recovering, after a bit of rest shin had now recovered plenty of his stamina, shin got up from ground and approached Gibbert who was giving some pointers to Hiro.
" Teacher I have recovered, do what's next "
Gibbert looked at him and said " don't force yourself, you can go and rest we will continue our lessons tomorrow"
" No teacher , I can't train a bit more "
Hiro interrupted him " shin as teacher said you can go and rest , you should not force your body further it will damage your body " .
" Shin swang his sword few times and then pointed at himself " see , I have recovered plenty of my stamina" .
Hiro said " but still you should ... "
Gibbert interrupted him " hiro , it's his choice, if he thinks he can continue then let him ".
Gibbert grabbed his sword , and then slashed his blade horizontaly, verticaly , and diagonaly while moving in a graceful manner,is movments appeared like a beautiful dance , he then demonstrated basic footwork to shin.
After finishing his demonstration he looked at Shin and said " this is the basic sword art it consit of basic sword movements and basic footwork , if you can do all these simultaneously without lag then you have learned basic swordmanship , but to master it you have to use it in battles , learning and mastering something is different, learning comes easy but to master it you have to put lots of effort" .
" Now perform these movent by yourself, when I think you have grasped it , you will then duel with a cadet "
After hearing this , shin went to a empty place and started practicing, he had swang his blade more than 500 times so it was easy for him to swing it in all direction , now he had to focus in his footwork , if it was a little of them momentum of his slashes decreased , but due to circulating his energy in his whole body it was easier for him to maneuver his whole body , he had adapted already to using his body when moving , when he fought those beasts, so it was very easy for him to learn basic swordmanship .
Gibbert was shocked to see Shin move so effortlessly when swing his sword without even slipping once , he bluttered inside his mind " hehehe , I got another amazingly talanted student "
