Starting My New Life As An Adventurer
Samurai training begin!

"Do it like this." Yuki san made a new horse stance position and performed slash movements repeatedly while showing it to me.

I began to follow his movements, aligning my tempo with him and getting more focused

"Do it 50 times." Yuki's watching my every move.

"Good! 1..2..3.4.5.. , ..49, 50" I kept counting each set of my movements and each slash.

"Your initial slash is good, but the ending slash is messy and unbalanced, do it again."

I also did another 50 consecutive slashes.

"Don't shake too much when you do a slash, keep your balance, do it again." Yuki-san.

"Yuki-san." I went back to doing the slash set.

(Again.).

"Some of my movements are still inconsistent, fix it again."

"Come it!"

(Again.).

"Your freedom is lack of spirit, do it again."

(I did so many repetitions that I forgot how many times)

49.50... "fyuhh how's Yuki-san?" I sighed and asked how I felt.

"Hmm, let's take a break first."

....

We sat next to a tree and opened our lunch box our menu today was onigiri, a rice-flavored piece partially wrapped in seaweed sheets.

'Yuki-san is there something wrong with my technique? I feel like I'm growing very slowly." I said so because from earlier I was like doing the same movement but it did not seem satisfactory.

" Don't worry, it's still the second day. There's no way you could have done it on the first day. But I understand the difficulty of making the right moves while still a beginner. All you need to do is keep practicing, okay?" Yuki calmed my anxiety.

"Alright I understand Yuki-san."

"Just relax, I've been planning a few lessons for a month and I'm sure you can feel the progress when our training finishes at the end of the month."

....

"Hey Iris, don't you feel that getting this skill is a bit inefficient? Well, I'm sure it should be like this normally anyway, but usually I get skills just by doing small things." I started talking to the iris.

"Jawab, some skills are easy to master and there are some that are difficult to master. Even after mastering a skill you still need to upgrade it in order for its power to become stronger. I'm sure you're aware that some of the skills you've acquired have not been so significant."

"For the time being I can only give you a hint. Remember there are always triggers that cause you to get a skill. And remember also the skill you want to learn is the wind slash skill, do not just focus in the way that is taught."

"Thank you for the information, iris." I ended my conversation with him.

....

"The rest is over, let's continue the exercise." We both stood up and took our katana.

"This time do the consecutive slashing movements more consistently."

I still don't really understand what the meaning of consistent, balanced, excited words or words that Yuki-san says less than my movements is actually what is lacking?

"Why keep quiet Hikaru, let me show you his movements again.

First do spread your legs shoulder-width apart, look straight ahead and swing your katana from top to bottom slightly tilted."

Top to bottom and so on, what exactly is this way of creating wind that can cut objects.

"Yuki-san, can I see you doing that wind slash?" I'm curious because I've never seen it.

"All right, I'll show you"

He picked up a piece of wood and placed it standing 10 meters in front of him.

Yuki-san swung her sword. Instantly created a swing of wind waves that led to the tree trunk quickly. Wearing it and immediately cut off.

"Well, you can use it easily." I was surprised to see it.

"But how can there be wind if you slash it so slowly?" His slash earlier could create a wind wave that could cut through wood within 10 meters.

I think the concept of a wind slash is to fan our swords as hard as possible until a sharp wave is created. I thought the concept was similar to a fan pushing the wind forward.

Then how could his sword be swung slowly but still be able to let out a strong wind?

"Sorry Yuki-san can you repeat once more? But this time do it slower I want to pay more attention to detail."

"OK..." Yuki repeated his wind slash movement even more slowly. At this point his movements were even like he was doing slow motion.

....

Yuki swung his sword slowly, from top to bottom. Suddenly the katana he was swinging was enveloped by a thick wind, revolving around saying it and like being shot in the direction it was directed.

"What!!???.... How that happened. You create a whirlwind around your blade and fire it in the direction you want."

"Emm, that's how it works." Yuki replied casually.

"Then his name was no longer a wind slash or a wind fan it had already created the wind and fired it. Wind element magician!"

"Why don't you try to use it without yuki-san's sword? That wind slash? If you've mastered it so far I'm sure you don't need a sword anymore. You can instantly create the wind and fire it in the direction you want."

"Yeah... Even though you said that, it's not that easy. 'Creating' and 'shooting' the wind without the medium is very difficult to do. If I try to create a wind slash in the middle of the air without my katakan maybe his strength is just enough to push an apple."

"Ohh..." Well it's definitely not that easy. Though I've been thinking of becoming a windbender who can make hurricanes.

"Keep how to create and shoot the wind? I'm not sure it was created with the moves we're learning right now. The proof while doing so Yuki-sna slashed at him with the origin of the gait and the wind was still shot." I'm getting confused.

"Honestly, beginner students will not be aware and will not ask questions about this."

"If I'm honest, I don't know how to create this wind." Yuki-sna also had a confused expression on her face.

"Huhuh?" I'm getting confused.

" I don't know, the first time I practiced, this wind just got shot. The more I use it unconsciously, the stronger it gets and use it just like exhaling."

"You mean like just imagining it?" I asked him.

"Yes, I guess it's like that." Yuki replied doubtfully.

"What should we look like?"

"Wuuushh perhaps?, Fyuuhhhh? That's it."

Damn the dead end. This skill is active with the mind instead of spells or special movements, this is much harder to learn. What do I have to shadow? To learn this skill means every beginner must think for himself how to create the wind from his sword.ask for an explanation should be any shadow is also useless because it is too abstract. Did he come out just like that?

For now it seems like only training I can do.

"Well let's connect the exercises." Yuki-sna patted my shoulder.

"OK, 1..2.3.4..,..." We continue our string of slashes.

While I was doing my slash I kept glancing at the movements Yuki-san made beside me. In each of his slashes the wind continued to be shot in the form of a slash towards the wooden rod and caused marks in every slash while my slash did not let out any wind at all and my movements were very messy.

I still don't understand how. At least if you tell me to make something tell me how. It is like asking someone to go to a place without giving their address. It was possible that he would arrive, but surely he would be lost for a very long time until he finally found him.

"...49.50! Fuhh this is exhausting." I rubbed the sweat on my forehead.

"Your movement is getting smoother. Hikaru's good work." Yuki-san.

"Yes, I can feel it too. I think I've a little understood how to swing the right katana."

"I think that's enough for today. It's dark and I think we're both tired." Yuki-san smiled and put her sword back into the sheath tied around her waist.

The second day ended, the initial introduction of the kamaitachi skill. This skill is harder than I thought and I still don't know how to 'create' the wind. Relax, it's still the second day! We packed our things and we walked home.
