The Sword Master

The Sword Master

May 06, 2025

When the person who casted the overwhelming pressure saw Grandmaster Yoojin, he blitzed towards them, then kneeled.


“Greetings, Master.”


Short brown hair rested on his head. Slim physique enabling movements of highspeeds. Pale white skin covered by a Black Hakama with a sword tied to his hip. His gaze through the Brown pupil made Kain gulp. His height made him look giant in front of Kain. 


 Yoojin looked around the open ground and looked like the students were scared of him as they didn't have a chance for eye contact. “How’s the training going, Adriel?” asked with concern.


 “The kids have potential to be great warriors but…” He turns towards some students.  “Laziness has overpowered.”


 The students tilted their heads in shame, acknowledging their laziness.


 “So you're the man that challenged my father” “My name is Adriel Draghart The sword master of the dojo” Said Adriel respectfully towards Kain.


 Father?? Wait so this guy is-


 “DAD!!” Eir Yelled as if Kain was about to die, “Be careful with Aura emission.” hitting Adriel in the back, “Kain just woke up!” 


 “OK! SORRY”


 Ignoring the sight before him, Kain replied “My name is Kain Azura, nice to meet you sir.”


 Admiring Adriel's sword, Kain was excited to see his sword and martial arts.


 “Adriel, I need you to show him some sword and martial arts.” Yoojin ordered seriously.


“Right now master?” Adriel asked. Afterall Kain’s arm was injured 


 “I am fine Sir Adriel. I’m just taking a look at the martial arts so to choose which I would like to learn” Assured Kain, who seemed like a bundle of excitement waiting to be unleashed.


 Adriel stood there for a while as he was thinking. What does this child have that made father this serious?? He didn't give this much attention to other students


 Adriel unsheathed his sword, revealing a red gold lined clothed handle that had a charm hanging in its end, a dragon wings plate that separated the handle and the blade guard, which had a black wave pattern in the blade shone in the light. 


 He stood in front of a giant rock that resided in the side of the open ground which is bigger than a grown elephant. 


 “Watch carefully.” 


 Adriel elevated the sword to his hip level pointing to the enormous rock. 


 Everyone on the ground glued into the scene. Kain felt an energy around the sword. “Look Kain, that's Aura which can be controlled to increase the efficiency of martial arts.” 


 Growing closer to Kain “Let me help you to see it.” Said Yoojin as he pressed his hands on Kain’s Shoulder. Then Kain saw a red fog? Energy? Smoke? He can't determine what's floating around the blade. 


 Adriel took a step forward, the single step made an enormous emission of Aura around the area. He leaned forward and slashed the rock into 2 pieces but he didn't stop after it.


 He continued to slash the rock into tiny pieces which shattered around. Kain felt overwhelmed and the students around them got into unison. The intensity of the attack pushed everything out of the way, leaves blown away, birds went into a frenzy search for shelter, animals crouched down on the tall grass for safety.


 As the rock almost turned into dust, Adriel sheathed his sword and turned towards Kain. The environment has calmed down, animals peeked through the gaps to see if the calamity has calmed, the birds flew away for their life.


 “I hope you understand how the sword martial arts works.” Adriel said while shortening the distance between him and Kian 


 Kain's eyes widened with excitement “THANK YOU SIR!”


 “Now now,” Yoojin walks towards the dojo, smiling, “you haven't seen other martials arts yet.”


 “Dad, do you know where is mom? She went somewhere after telling me to watch over Kain” Eir asked Adriel. 


 “She went to her home village with the Black Demon Sect. She said someone got injured while hunting in the forest.” Adriel assured Eir.


 “Miss Eir let's go, old man is waiting for us” commented Kain as he walked towards the dojo.


 “Stop calling me miss, just call me Eir. We are the same age” said Eir, annoyed.


 “Sorry sorry” Kain. 


 I don't want my back to be hurt again


 Adriel's eyes widened as they walked. Old man? Seriously even I haven't had the guts to call him that way, what an interesting boy this young man is.


 Kain and Eir walked away from the open Hearing whispers as they passed through the door. Kain was excited to see other martial arts and didn't see the concern of ocean blue eyes watching him.

 

 So Eir’s mom is also a Doctor?


 “Old man, what's the Black Demon Sect?” Kain asked with curiosity.


 “You already met them when you entered the dojo.” Yoojin answered without looking back as he was deep in thought.


 Kain started to recall the memories of being dragged with embarrassment 


 So that was the Black Demon Sect.


 Eir led a gasp “I FORGOT ABOUT THE MEDICINE IN STORE ROOM!!” facepalming, “you can go on without me, if i don’t retrieve the medicine, it might get spoiled”.


 She ran towards the opposite direction they were going, on the way she stopped to turn back “Take care of the hand it still needs rest!” Then she vanished off into the light at the end of the hallway.


 As they advanced to a room filled with armouries, weapons, etc. Kain scanned all around the room 


 Why are we in this room? Filled with metals and stuff


 Sound of a hammer clanging metal echoed through the room. Kain felt the heat emitting from the back. 


 They walked towards the heat source. The sound seemed to get louder and louder. Kain was surprised to see Yoojin indifferent to heat.

 Guess gramps got used to the heat.


 Kain saw a huge cloth which is used as a protective barrier for the armoury room. 


 As Yoojin slid open the cloth, it revealed an area which is used for blacksmithing. A man with a mask that only had a glass covered opening for the eyes hit the heated metal to a spear shaped weapon in the table next to a furnace with a large hammer. Each hit led to the clanging of metal which reverberated through the whole room.
