The Demon Swordsman
CHAPTER 5

Eldrian awoke from his sleep in sweat.

He had another nightmare tonight.

"I've been waking up like this for years but I never remember what I dreamed of." murmured Eldrian.

Eldrian turned to the wall clock on the wall, "It's still 2 in the morning."

Eldrian got up from the bed and walked towards his death.

Taking his black coat, he also carried a matching colored scarf with his coat.

After wearing his coat and scarf, Eldrian immediately left his room.

He headed for the field where Philia's academy students used to train.

Stretching out his hand and a sword came out, Eldrian also cast a spell and suddenly a beautiful woman appeared in front of him.

"Halyna" Eldrian told the woman.

"Master called me." replied the woman who was called Halyna.

"I can't rest easy, please join me in training" said Eldrian.

The woman named Halyna smiled, for a long time the Master had not called her.

"We practice here, sir?" asked Halyna.

Eldrian shook his head, taking Halyna to the hill behind the academy of Philia.

Before starting practice Eldrian put up a talisman that he made so that the sound of their fight would not be heard until the Philia academy.

"Don't be too hard on me sir." said Halyna, pointing her sword at Eldrian.

.cringg.

Eldrian and Halyna clashed with each other, it could be seen that the difference in their abilities was quite far.

Eldrian's movements were very fast and powerful, while Halyna was the opposite.

"Sharp your sense of hearing Halyna" said Eldrian.

Halyna smiled, The master always reminds her of her weaknesses.

Halyna also really focused her sense of hearing, which she initially could not avoid Eldrian's attack at all, now she could avoid although not entirely.

Bruckk....

Aghhh!!

Eldrian put down his sword and ran towards Halyna.

"You okay?" asked Eldrian while helping Halyna rise.

"I'm fine sir, thank you." said Halyna.

Eldrian gave Halyna the medicine he brought.

"Your abilities have indeed improved a little bit Halyna, only your weaknesses remain the same, when fighting you must really focus Halyna." explained Eldrian.

"If only my master were this good to hear your name, the enemy would run away in a storm" said Halyna.

Eldrian could only shake his head, this servant was sometimes very childish.

"Wear this, we've stopped practicing, you'll get cold later." said Eldrian, taking off his coat and putting it on Halyna's tiny body.

"I don't have to wear this, sir." refused Halyna.

Eldrian also asserted that he had no problem not wearing his fur coat.

Seanna suddenly appeared and surprised the two of them, "Good, your abilities have indeed increased."

Eldrian bowed to greet his teacher.

Seanna smiled, and he had not seen Halyna for a long time, even though he had sent her to be Eldrian's servant.

"Why is the teacher here ? Is it possible that the amulet I made didn't work?." asked Eldrian.

"Your talisman works El, it's just that I've been in this hilly and watching you both." Seanna explained.

The three of them rested by sitting on the grassland.

Seanna watched Eldrian and Halyna deeply. Sometimes he also smiled which made the two children confused.

"Halyna." call Seanna.

"Yes, teacher?" he answered.

"Your abilities have indeed improved, it's just that to protect your Master you still need to practice a lot, I sent you to be Eldrian's servant so that you can protect him when he is in danger not the other way around" he explained.

Halyna nodded, she understood what Seanna had said.

"Teacher.Halyna is still very young, she will definitely get stronger later." sidelines Eldrian.

"I know El, I just reminded him to train harder. Moreover, soon we will go for the holy banquet." replied Seanna.

Halyna who heard that instantly widened her eyes, "Holy banquet ? When ? Can I come with you ? All this time I've only heard it from people's mouths."

"You have to go with Halyna, you have to take care of Eldrian" Seanna said.

Eldrian refused, he did not want Halyna to come to the banquet, he said it was very dangerous if Halyna appeared there.

After all at the banquet there would be many knights as well as witches, so where there might be people or evil demons.

"We'll never know what intentions other people have. I've seen a lot even felt it myself betrayal by the closest people. That's why I forbid you and Philia's academy students from connecting with just anyone." Seanna explained.

Eldrian also seemed to think, he had never been hanging out with people out there, he had only been in contact with people at the Philia academy all this time.

Even so he was only close to certain people, they also never betrayed him.

"Well if it's the teacher's order, I'll hide Halyna later." replied Eldrian.

Halyna who heard it was very happy, "Thank you Sir.thank you teacher Seanna."

The curious Eldrian tried to dig up the information on his teacher.

"Teacher...What betrayal have you endured to the extent that the Philia academy has such rules and restrictions?" asked Eldrian.

Seanna who was smiling also changed her expression, her gaze now became sad.

"Treason is so painful, it's made me and my family ruined."

"And now I'm not going to let anyone destroy or take away what I've been keeping" Seanna replied, looking at Eldrian.

"There is pain that must be forgotten and also there is pain that must be remembered. For now, I hope forever you will not remember or experience these bad things again." said Eldrian.

"Do you mean teacher?" asked Eldrian who did not understand what his teacher had just said.

"Go back, you need to get some more rest, you still have to practice in the morning, don't you?" asked Seanna.

"Yes, then if you'll excuse Seanna's teacher, you'll rest quickly" Eldrian said and left Seanna.

Halyna is still with Seanna.

"Halyna, prepare yourself to go to the banquet later and lest you create trouble that will trouble Eldrian" Seanna said.

"Well teacher, I definitely won't get you into trouble." replied Halyna.

"Teacher...is it true that Mr. Eldrian forgot all about it?" asked Halyna who still did not believe.

"Yes, she forgot everything even the things that made her happy in the past" Seanna replied in a trembling voice.

"Is that the best choice for Master, teacher ? Actually I want you to remember those happy things" Seanna said.

Seanna shook her head, "You know Halyna we can't be that greedy ? Good, bad, happiness and sadness will always coexist."
