The next day, Erga returned to training at his usual place. Lonea also supported and encouraged him.

"Erga, your sword is made from a very rare material. So, attack me with your sword." Lonea said with a smile.

Erga was so pessimistic and said, "Come on, Lonea! Even Terza's terrible ax can't penetrate your aura."

Lonea laughed at Erga's behavior.

Suddenly, Terza came to attack Erga using a wooden stick. As expected, Erga was unable to predict the opponent's attack, his head was hit.

"Terza... You cheated!" Erga shouted.

"In battle, there is no such thing as fair. You must remain alert, Erga!" Terza said while pointing his stick at Erga's face.

Lonea smiled and said, "Terza, you are a Seyga Geni, you should be the one to train him to improve his sword techniques."

"Um... You're right... Alright, Erga... I'll teach you about hard work in training!" Terza said while laughing.

Lonea said as she left the training ground, "I'm going to prepare food for the next few hours. When I come back, I don't want to see you all idle."

Erga clapped his hands, "Thank you, Lonea... I'm waiting for the food!"

"Hey, since when did that woman boss me around?" Terza said with an annoyed face.

Erga laughed and was grateful to have them both on his team. He also asked, "For training, should I do physical training without a sword or use a sword directly?"

"Um... Theory should be a good thing for the first step. Okay, I'll give you some tips!"

"Okay... I'm ready, Terza!"

Terza provides tips for quickly mastering sword techniques. Even though he is not a sword user, his experiences facing sword users are very frequent. Even when he was at Merya, Terza fought with Veira Enesia who used a sword.

Erga stood up straight to watch the tips from Seyga Geni.

"You can't write these tips down. You have to remember them in your brain. Because in battle, those memories will be the main key for a Seyga Geni in battle." Terza said seriously.

Terza started giving tips.

These basic tips cannot make someone an expert sword fighter just by explanation alone.

This explanation summarizes the basics of swordsmanship, the various complicated sword moves cannot be explained by Terza. Must stick to the practice and guidance of sword masters. Maybe this explanation is not suitable to listen to, because everyone has a different fighting style.

Practice is very important. If you continue to train very hard, perhaps half of the knowledge you have learned will appear in battle.

As a Seyga Geni, you must be able to act based on instinct, without having to waste time thinking. Practice the basic techniques continuously most of the time, perhaps this will be the only thing you have as a helper. It usually takes about two or three months to fully learn a technique.

The main point is that accuracy is more important than power.

Remember that every part of a sword is a weapon, including the tip, sharp part, hand guard, and hilt. The body and anything around you can also be used as a weapon. Sword fighting will not be limited to using swords only. Use any object to win.

If possible, find out in advance what weapon your opponent will use.

If fighting with an opponent who uses a small sword, don't let his appearance fool you. This weapon may have a moderate level of flexibility and is excellent for penetrating open defenses.

On the other hand, if the opponent is using a heavy greatsword, he may want to end the fight with one or two attacks. As far as possible, keep your body away from your opponent and wait until he gets tired.

Pay attention to the area around you and use it to your advantage. Cornering your opponent against a barrier behind him is a useful action. Apart from that, your body position with your back to the sun can dazzle your opponent, leaving his defenses open to attack.

Body positioning is important. Keep your body perpendicular with your sword drawn towards your opponent. This makes it difficult to target so vital organs will be protected.

Save energy. Veteran fighters already knew that life and death battles required immense effort. So, don't waste time making unnecessary movements and maneuvers. Lives may depend on this.

Use the weapons and techniques that best suit your strengths. Trying something new in a fight could get you killed.

This applies to training before becoming a Seyga. After becoming a Seyga, his techniques will become more different.

This basic training is carried out to familiarize yourself with using the seyga technique in the future.

Erga was so serious and asked, "Did you do all this?"

Terza answered while showing his stick, "No... I use a big axe, not a sword. But sometimes the explanation helps me get new techniques. It's all the result of my fighting experience."

"Um... Next, what should I do?"

Terza pointed to a large tree, "Slash that tree. Don't forget about accuracy. Stab the middle of the tree, then slash the left and right parts of the tree alternately. However, the attack must remain at the point of the first stab and slash. Don't deviate from the first slash because this is to train your instincts and accuracy."

Erga immediately tried it.

Inserted his sword into the middle of the tree, then slashed the left and right parts of the tree. But unfortunately, every slash always deviated erratically.

"Erga do that until you get maximum results. I want to sleep for a while." Terza said while lying down to sleep.

"Okay... This is my first test!" Said Erga who kept trying and trying hard to get his wish of becoming a Seyga.

Determination makes him so enthusiastic that he never gets tired. Even though sometimes he feel useless and complain. But he is sure that this is one of the factors in becoming a strong person.
