Chapter 8

 

What is a swordmaster?

About 1500 years ago, the first swordmaster appeared on the continent.

It was more than 900 years ago when the Iassa Empire emerged after the continent was unified.

The first swordmaster was Eliot von Hood.

He was a representative of the kingdom, which is now the Barthang of the Iassa Empire.

The investigation found out that he was a distant ancestor of the Duke of Reinhardt.

Even before Eliot von Hood, there was someone who showed the characteristics of a swordmaster.

However, it was he who had all the characteristics of the current swordmaster.

First, he had the ability to sense mana.

If he sensed that a sword had mana, he could replace it visually.

It was a basic ability.

Nobody could tell who would win the fight between the two swordmasters.

 

For they were already skilled in swordsmanship.

 

The second qualification of the swordmaster was the ability to ‘move the body’s energy’.

 

Energy was the beauty of mana.

 

While there were people who could feel the magic of the sword and handle the body’s airway by itself, there were others who had to train more.

 

Ian’s case was the former.

 

Being able to move the body’s energy meant that they could have control over it.

 

This physical ability helped in improving the five senses and in healing wounds faster.

 

 

If a sword was made of a dragon’s bones, teeth, and nails, the swordmaster who owned it was a blessed child.

 

That would mean…

 

Ian was also……

“What food shall we try today?”

 

A week after Ian collapsed.

In the kitchen of the villa.

 

Laritte kept on thinking about whether the food ingredients she had stored had any discrepancies.

 

Ian’s fever has decreased for some time now.

 

It is now clear that he was beginning to recover.

 

She decided to make soft food as Ian isn’t fully recovered yet.

 

“Well, I will make some vegetable soup.”

 

She decided to cook and move on.

 

Returning through the snow-covered path, her hands contained a range of vegetables, including potatoes, onions, carrots, and kidney beans.

 

Everything that was needed to make vegetable soup.

 

It was just a touch for the soup.

 

First, she chopped the washed onions and carrots into small pieces.

 

A hand, that was not clumsy but neither as skillful as a cook, moved the knife.
