Starting My New Life As An Adventurer
Hikaru VS Rondo's

Good morning as always

I was outside playing with my beloved wooden sword. Grandpa came from inside the house and found me.

"Oiyy Hikaru." Grandpa came out of the house to greet me

"Ha, what's the matter, old man? If you want to tell me to clean your room I don't want to." I answered and ignored it immediately.

"Oh don't do that, I'm just bored. I've seen lately that you really like to play with your new sword." Grandpa came to me.

"It's not playing, it's practicing. Someday I'll go on an adventure and become a great swordsman." I loudly denied it.

(Grandfather was sitting on a big rock near me)

"that's it, you want to be adventurous."

"Yes, the shop owner's uncle said if I became an adventurer I would find many interesting things. But there will definitely be danger so I learn how to use the sword."

(grandfather while standing) "ooh so.

Just a minute." Grandpa went back into the house.

After a while grandfather came back carrying a katana with many carvings in its sheath and a wooden sword.

"Look at this." Grandpa took the sword out of its sheath.

"Wahhh real sword!" I was amazed and tried to hold it.

"Haha... This is a real sword. I am an adult, unlike Hikaru who uses a wooden sword." Grandpa pulled his sword away from my hand.

"Damn you old geezer, at most you bought it at an antique market and just used it as a decoration." I answered annoyed.

"Hehhh are you envious?" Grandpa teases me more.

"Cihh I don't envy that nice real sword of yours." I turned my face away and tried not to see the sword.

"Do you really think that I bought it at an antique market and just used it as a decoration?"

"Of course, you're an old man." Now I'm mocking his age

"Well, do you want to prove it?" Grandfather took out a wooden sword which he also carried.

"Are you sure cake? I am already quite good at it. If you want to be arrogant to your granddaughter, better try something else." I reply lightly.

(Grandfather while standing from his stone holder). "Are you scared?"

"Of course not."

"Then let's fight." Grandpa's challenging me.

"Well, who's afraid!" I walked face to face with him

We stood face to face with a distance of about 5 meters. I pointed my wooden sword towards grandfather arrogantly while grandfather prepared with his horse.

"Rules are simple. Who succeeds in hitting his opponent with his sword, he wins. And the loser has to clean the winning room."

"I've guessed Grandpa Ujung tip only asked for his room to be cleaned. But take it easy I won't lose!"

"Oh, and in addition because I'm fighting a child." Grandfather took a piece of cloth from his pouch and tied it to his head to close his eyes.

"I'll fight you while closing my eyes."

"You really underestimated me. All righty! I hope you don't regret the cake."

"All right then the match starts! Come on ahead attack me!

*Hwuushh...

Without a second thought I immediately ran to attack approaching him innocently. There was nothing wrong, he was closing his eyes, attacking quickly was the best way to win. Or so I thought.

"It's very close! I'll cut him right away."

*Slash! I swung a fairly quick slash from close range.

....

*Step...

A very light sound of footsteps, he only took two steps back, dodging my slash just like that.

"Why is your slash so slow? I gave it a chance and just kept quiet, but why didn't I?" Grandfather judged my movements by still closing his eyes.

"Damn, how did he do it? He closed his eyes."

"Yet surrendered?"

"Of course not yet, it's just started!"

I raised my sword again, this time I will go even faster.

"Then go ahead!

*Slash *Slash *slash....

Some attacks are faster than before. How could he avoid all my attacks just by walking and taking small jumps.

*glash!

This time Grandpa did not dodge, his body position was sprightly. He repelled my attack with his wooden sword.

"This is a pretty decent slash too, worthy enough to be fended off."

"So you're saying my previous attack wasn't worth your tanking?"

"That's how..." Grandfather replied in an ordinary tone

I was confused and confused at the same time. It's obvious this isn't just a martial art. It seems like grandfather has a unique skill that can make him guess my movements.

"You can attack me again, but I'm sure it won't hit even if there are three people like you I don't think it's much different."

"Damn! How can you have such a skill." I stopped attacking him in annoyance.

(Grandfather opened his blindfold)

"Oh, this is not a skill. I often trained my instincts when I was young by fighting while closing my eyes. Plain attacks that are easy to read like your moves can even be avoided even if I tie my hands together."

An instinct? What a mystical thing like that. Is grandfather one of the followers of ancient martial arts or something?

"Info, the instinct that you are called by the individual Rondo is the basic stat that all trained people have." Suddenly the sound of the system was heard in my head.

Oh yeah, I remember I had instinct points even when I first managed to back up all my memories.

"Yes, and now the instinct points you have are only 2 points. In that amount even the effect will not be felt at all." System forward.

"That's it...."

...

"Okay, I lost this time. Your room, right?" I resigned because I already knew I wouldn't be able to get over it.

"Ehh don't whine that way. What if we make 1 more round? If you win we can draw."

"What other game?" I replied with a slight murmur.

"The rules are simple, this time I will attack you. 20 seconds, not 10 seconds. If you can survive my attack in 10 seconds then you win."

I think the game will be pursued like before. Now he's the one attacking? 10 seconds? Maybe he feels sorry for me and just wants to make this a draw, no way he can win.

"Ten seconds, right? Haha that's a very short time!" I walked and faced my grandfather again with a distance of 10 meters.

"Are you ready?" Grandpa's voice feels like this isn't playing.

" I'm ready!"

Well, I'm not a fool either. I have a backup plan in place if Grandpa turns out to be serious. The plan was to run for ten seconds. This way I will definitely win!

"Well, 10 seconds starts at..." Grandpa prepares the horses.

This time the grandfather horse's horse was a bit different, he widened his legs and slightly bent like a ready-to-run position, he held his sword with both hands and pulled it beside his chest

Grandpa: now!!!

*Whuuuussshhh

Grandfather stomped his feet running towards me as fast as the wind. When I realized Grandpa was moving I immediately tried to run as fast as possible.

1..,2..,3..,4. (i count the seconds in my mind).

5.., (grandfather right in front of me)

*Tackkkk! He slammed his sword force into the sword I was swording.

6..,7.., (my hands are shaking, the strike is incredible, my sword is blown in the air, I cannot resist the attack).

8...,9.., (grandfather turned and made a new horse)

*Bakkkk! He mercilessly kicked me in the chest with his legs, I crashed far away and my head was bumped on the trunk of a tree.

10.., (grandfather finished his movement and I lay unconscious beside the tree trunk).

...

"Fyuhhh" grandfather wiped the sweat on his head.

"How's Hikaru, cool right?" Grandfather looked at me who had fainted beside the tree trunk.

"Arhrghhhh gosh why did it come to this!? Kiara!!! Kiara!!!" Kake called out to Kiara from inside the house while shouting.

"What's the matter, Mr. Rondo?." Kiara immediately came out after hearing the voice of grandfather's shout.

"Hikaru's head was wrapped in bandages, he was bleeding." Grandfather lifted my head and carried me with a heart.

Jesus, mr. Rondo... What happened to Hikaru? Kiara was surprised to see the wound on my head.

"Hmm accident, quickly wrap the wound, I'll prepare the horse. We're going to the healer"

"well, Mr. Rondo." Kiara immediately carried out grandfather's orders.

The horse was ready grandfather and Kiara rushed off to the healer in the center of the village quickly.
