The Destined One

“Valerius, you did a good job.” Amanda said quietly looking over his face.

“Thank you, Miss Amanda.”

“Now, I will show you how I fight, Vale.” Amanda announced loudly.

Which led to some wolves with black and red stripes over their body flowing all over the body like a water stream. They moved out from hiding.

One of the wolves was unique with a crown-like shape floating on his head with a sword and a shield surrounding it.

“That's a wolf king. They are smart and can rally their packs to fight against strong monsters.”

“ I see.” Vale answered to Amanda.

“Be careful of him.”

Amanda started moving towards the wolves and quietly unsheathed her sword while walking.

“So cool.” Vale words slipped out from his mouth.

“Sword of Atoms.”

As she said the name of a cool sounding attack, everything surrounding the wolves quietly froze not due to ice but simply because of the power of attack that she used.

Most wolves found it difficult to move and Amanda was making her way towards them with her sword in her hand.

“It's goodbye then, puppies.”

As she said that and raised her sword the wolf king sword glowed and all the wounds that Amanda gave to them were healed consistently while giving more wounds to her.

“This feels more like a Lesson, than actual combat.” Vale thought to himself and he was correct in thinking so.

Soon one of the wolves used the tree as a tool and jumped near the head of Amanda.

“Idiot dog.”

Amanda caught him with one hand before he could reach her throat and threw him on the ground without carrying about anything and pierced his throat with her sword.

Seeing how disadvantageous of a position they were in, the wolf king used one more power.

The shield started to glow.

“Hmph.”

Three wolves started running towards Amanda while flank one another and one of them ran in the middle.

Both of them jumped from left and right and just before coming near Amanda one of them used fire magic from close range while the other went for a bite.

It was a sure shot attack.

The attack hit. Amanda one hand was bitten by the wolf but she quickly caught him and used her other hand to attack with the sword.

*Pierce*

The sword that Amanda was holding pierced the mouth of the wolf who was trying to use fire magic from close range, not wasting any time she quickly removed her sword and pierced the throat of the other wolf who bit her hand.

“Heal.”

Her hand healed instantly.

“So, what will you do, puppy?”

The king wolf took a glance at Valerius and before thinking about something left.

“Why was he looking at me?”

“Let's go back to the town.” Said Amanda.

“Vale, I will go and give this pig to the butcher. It would be better if you go and rest now.”

“Yes.” Valerius said.

After some time of resting, it was almost evening when Valerius started moving on a road.

As Valerius was walking on the road he saw some soldiers walking on the same road. He started following the soldiers as he wanted to see the training grounds they train their swordsmanship in.

“Are these soldiers going to the training ground?”

He kept following them and he certainly reached the training grounds. There he saw soldiers doing sword swings, some were sparring with one another, some were resting after having a match with one another.

“Where is Miss Amanda?”

As he was saying that, he spotted Amanda she was sparring with someone.

"Clang" "Clang"

The swords of both of them clashed with one another and they were quickly moving to the next attack without wasting much time as they were fighting.

The opponent tried to brush her sword from her hand but she instantly countered it and quickly punched him in the stomach.

He crouch down on the spot and the referee signaled a victory for Amanda.

“She is very strong.”

As Valerius tried to leave the place he noticed a presence behind him.

“ You are here, Valerius.”

“Miss Amanda? How? Weren't you just sparring with that soldier over there.”

“Don't mind that.”

“I was interested in seeing how the soldiers train.”

“I see. Are your feet and arms better now?”

“Yeah, Miss Amanda.”

“I forgot to ask, but what did lord Heron say?”

“What did lord Heron say, you ask?”

“He said, I have to reach the sword title of sword saint in a month.”

“In a month?”

“Yes.”

“If lord Heron has said it, that only means he believes you can reach that feat in a month. I believe that as well you are strong and have potential to reach the level of sword saint in a month.

You just need a lot of practice. What else did he say?”

“He said to discuss with him the matter related to me selecting the sword style after reaching the title of sword saint.”

“Next let me explain to you about the wild beast system or what it's currently called the monsters.”

“Yes.”

“All monsters that are known have been classified in various categories.

They have been given a place in one of the seven ranks.

The seven ranks are called vibgyor for short and it is the name of various colours with red being the strongest class of monsters and violet being the weakest.”

“So, what is the rank of the greater boar that I fought?”

“The rank of the greater boar is blue.”

“A blue? So he was not that strong?”

“No, he was strong. He was stronger than most monsters here because of him, no other monster approached us.”

“I understand.”

“Now, let me tell you about the swordsmanship title that you have.”

“After some seconds passed amanda opened her mouth.”

“Your swordsmanship title is sword master.”

“Sword master?”

“You don't look happy with that title.”

“Yes, I wanted to be at least top level.”

“Hmm, I see.”

“Valerius your strength is good, also the way you use your intelligence to trick monsters is a good thing as well, but your skills with your rapier are not at the level of grandmaster, but with training you can definitely become a sword saint in a short period of time.

I think with how you are you will eventually become a sword king.”

“Thank you for your praise Miss Amanda.”

After thinking for some time Valerius opened his mouth again

“I want to learn proper swordsmanship, miss Amanda and get stronger, stronger than anyone in this world.”

“That's a good spirit.”

“Miss Amanda, can you explain sword titles?”

Amanda had a slight surprised look on her face.

“Very well.”

“Beginner

Student

Sword-master

Grand-master

Sword Saint

Sword king

Sword emperor

Asidhara.”

“These are all the sword titles.”

“Can you explain their powers to me?”

“No, it's better if you learn them on your own. That way you will be able to find a way to make your own unique fighting power.”

“Okay, should we start training tomorrow then?”

“Fine, Valerius.” Said Amanda.

“Yes.”

“I will see you tomorrow morning then.”

“Thank you very much Miss Amanda.”

Saying that Valerius left the training grounds and he started walking again after walking for some time, He reached the medical facilities he entered the room where he was staying and went to sleep.
