Little Derrick Sword Training

Derrick met the boy who was practicing swords alone at the training ground they usually use, Derrick smiled seeing his son seemed very interested and had a talent for swordsmanship.

"Derrick." Summon Derrick and surprise the little Derrick who kept swinging the sword slashing the wooden human puppet.

"Dad!" Derrick looked happy, but he suddenly frowned.

"Why is dad here? I told you I just wanted to practice the sword." Said Derrick with a frown.

"Haha, well I won't force you to practice bone weapons anymore, after all the bone weapons I originally made and give you to replace your shattered leg bones." Derrick finally succumbs to the child, he forgets the promise he made to Suanyi that the promise will make little Derrick want to practice bone weapons right and left leg.

"Your inner strength is already level 20, you are really talented apparently." Derrick praised when he finished checking the power level in a small Derrick.

"Dad why do I have to practice my inner strength and raise my level? Didn't father say the inner energy would increase by itself?" Ask little Derrick.

"Good question." Praise Derrick for hearing a good question from little Derrick.

"Didn't you also say that the inner power can be increased by various other ways, namely having talent, absorbing the magical beast core, absorbing stones that have abundant natural energy, practicing inner power, and so on, and the last one is to use magic items."

"You remember?" Obviously Derrick, then asked while poking the little Derrick's nose with affection.

"Training your inner strength is one of his methods, but this method is quite complete because if you reach level 50 your inner power will get stronger every time you fight, even if you fight, easy words like your sword will get sharper in every fight you go through." Obviously Derrick.

"Then when you reach level 80 you can manipulate the air, like this." Add Derrick while creating a sword from empty air, the sword was made of air compaction, then Derrick created a spear.

"Then what are the uses of creating these things, can we not buy the original in the store?" Little Derrick asked in wonder.

"The difference is that we don't have to spend money to get weapons, especially weapons from this air compaction are just as powerful and even stronger than the original weapons." Derrick replied and then threw his spear into the shield that had been there from the beginning.

The spear from the air instantly hollowed out the shield, then disappeared into the air again.

"Great!" Little Derrick was amazed by the power of the aerial spear.

"Alright if you reach power in level 90 then you can fly at will." Obviously Derrick came back and took the little Derrick flying through the air, then flew around freely.

Little Derrick was very happy to be taken flying by the father, it can be seen from the look of his very happy face with the typical laughter of children.

"Then when it comes to the energies in the heavenly realm, then you will have boundless inner power, it means that as long as you have the ability then you can issue powerful attacks repeatedly without worrying about running out of power within, the only thing that becomes your barrier is stamina alone." Derrick said on the sidelines flying around the forest.

"So do you want to continue the exercise of internal energy or not after hearing the privilege of training internal energy?" Derrick asked while descending after being satisfied to take little Derrick flying.

"Dad, I want to practice deep, please train me dad." Little Derrick said excitedly.

"Alright, then let's practice sparring." Derrick said with a happy smile, then created a sword from the air.

They both end up fighting, looking little Derrick very hard against his father who looks relaxed in response to every little Derrick slash.

"First sword: Cross slash!" Little Derrick's shout launched a cross energy slash.

"Have you given your attack a name?" Derrick asked in surprise, then fended off the cross energy slash.

Trang!

Derrick parried Derrick's small slash casually, then fended off Derrick's small follow-up slash with his leisure.

"Second sword: Whirlpool slash!" The little Derrick whirled around as his sword was parried by the father, creating a whirlpool-like whirlpool in the river.

Trang! Trang! Trang!

"First sword: Cross slash!" Little Derrick again launched an energy slash attack, Derrick dodged it and was stunned to see little Derrick sheathing his sword.

"Third sword: Puncture of lightning!" Little Derrick suddenly performs Dash, then manages to injure Derrick's stunned chest and is unprepared to anticipate.

"Arg.., this hurts and it feels like the wound was also struck by lightning." Shouted Derrick in pain.

"Dad! Are you okay, I'm sorry Derrick hurt you, torment, torment." Little Derrick ran worriedly towards Derrick, then cried when he saw the slash wound on his father's chest.

"Haha, it's okay Derrick, it's just a small wound, I'm just surprised." Derrick calms the child.

"By the way a swordsman should not be whiny and worry about the enemy, don't be naive Derrick, I don't like." Derrick then said in a serious tone, but little Derrick was still crying.

"But.., t-but I'm not Derrick's enemy." Little Derrick stammered stammering his cries.

"Haha, you're not your enemy, but you were your enemy, right?" Ask Derrick with a laugh.

"So it's just practice, Derrick hurt dad." Deny little Derrick.

"Injuring a rival is necessary as long as it doesn't kill, so it's natural that Derrick hurt you." Reply Derrick.

In the end little Derrick understood and did not cry anymore, the father and son continued to practice the match, but this time Derrick increased his focus so as not to get hurt again, because he thinks it's embarrassing to hurt a 4-year-old child let alone it's his own child.

##

Derrick sits on the porch of the hut where he and his family have been sheltering from the heat of the sun and rain, the hut where they have lived and slept for the past 6 months.

Every now and then he sipped his hot coffee while watching the little Derrick who continued to practice the sword despite the torrent of rain that flushed their village.

"Darling, little Derrick seems to be training very hard, is that not too much for his little body?" Suanyi asked while taking a seat beside Derrick, the remark had the implied meaning that Suanyi asked Derrick to advise their son not to practice too hard.

"It's okay, it would be useful for him to be a great warrior instead of a weak swordsman who has a high risk of death." Said Derrick sipping his coffee casually, Suanyi was stunned but he agreed.

"It's a shame I've seen you never teach him your techniques other than swordsmanship, are you unwilling to let little Derrick have the same techniques as you?" Suanyi asked when recalling that Derrick was only training their son sword techniques, nothing more.

"You mean like the fire burning technique and the god spear technique?" Derrick thought for a moment, then asked the Suanyi.

"Yes." Yeah." Suanyi nodded in confirming.

"I'm not going to teach him those techniques, because I don't want little Derrick to be confused using which technique when fighting, just like I used to." Derrick and explained.

"Most have techniques that aren't very good, it'll only make things difficult for us." He was resolute when Suanyi just opened his mouth to say something.

Derrick had felt how difficult it was when fighting because he had too many fighting techniques or magic techniques, even Derrick several times almost died because he was too confused to use which techniques when fighting against enemies.

Given that Derrick would not let his son experience the same thing, so he focused on training swordsmanship rather than fighting techniques or magic.

"But if you don't have any supporting techniques to master little Derrick, I mean don't teach him fighting techniques or magic but teach him supporting techniques." Saying the Suanyi and resuscitating Derrick.

"You're right too, baby." Derrick sipped his coffee.

"Well I'll teach him the fire burning technique, divine consciousness, god-killing formation, and the same technique as, because I think it's a supporting technique." Derrick recalled the various techniques he mastered and found four magic techniques that he thought included supporting techniques.

Seriate...
