The Reincarnation of the Red Dragon
05. Trying to Be a Swordsman

I stood in front of my house with the long sword my father gave me for my first birthday. My body has grown in the last 4 years, and now I can use a sword.

I'm about 3 feet 5 inches tall. My hair is colored, but with some black strands. I decided to stick out my hair because I had scales on my back, and that was the closest thing I could do to resemble a dragon.

In front of me stood a man holding a sword and wearing a full suit of leather light armor without a head covering. It was an option that allowed him to use his full speed. The man in front of me is my father. We are both ready to fight.

I watched my father carefully stand there. From an outsider's point of view, he looked relaxed, but I knew at any time he was ready to attack. Every day at noon, we would fight before lunch, not once did I defeat him. Today I'm going to change that.

He made the first move, he ran towards me at a fast speed. I couldn't see him move the first time we fought, but now it's different. I followed his every move.

Then just before he was within striking distance, he jumped into the air to close the distance between us. He raised his right hand to the sky ready to attack me. I've seen it five steps ahead, I'm ready for anything. I'll just dodge the first attack when he comes down. While his sword hits the ground, I will then attack his side. Then quickly retreated as he attacked me again and attacked from above.

I saw an attack coming from above, as I predicted, now I just need to step aside.

"Brakk"

My eyesight turned black.

I fainted, after a while I woke up inside the house, all I could hear was my mother's voice scolding my father.

"Can't you go easy on him, the kid's only 4 years old"

My father sweated trying his best to calm my mother down.

I quietly listened to my parents' conversation about me, I hid behind a door near the kitchen, they thought I was still sleeping. My mother saw me in the corner by the door. He quickly ran towards me and placed both of his hands on my cheeks.

"Ray, are you okay now, you don't have to follow in the footsteps of your parents, there's a lot of good work out there that you can do." He said while checking to see if I was okay.

I could see my mother trying to comfort me, she must have seen my sad face. I'm not upset that I lost to my father, I'm more upset with my revenge plan. I have no talent for magic and no talent for using swords. If I can't even defeat one normal adventure, how can I destroy humanity.

My father came and knelt beside my mother.

"We still have one more year, Ray, can we still try if you really want to?"

One year, is that enough time for me to develop. In a few years, the selection process of the Avrion Knight Academy was coming, It was the same school that my father went to. At the age of five you are allowed to take the test to be admitted to school.

Roland Academy is now impossible for me to enter because I do not have magic power, so the only option I have is Avrion Academy.

I was determined to stick to that plan, I shook my head and remembered the reason why I had to become stronger to take revenge.

"I'll do it, I'll be the strongest anyone has ever seen hahaha"

My parents looked at each other with worried faces.
