Chapter 110
I fought a mock battle against Mr. Ekenhart
For a few days after that, we continued our basic training every day, as well as the one thousand sword swings.
And just when my body was starting to get used to the training, Mr. Ekenhart came out into the back garden and told me that the training would now include some actual combat.
“Actual combat… How will we do that?”
“Oh, a simple duel with swords. Obviously, that will mean that I’ll be attacking you two as well.”
“With father…”
Mr. Ekenhart was holding a sword made of wood as he faced us.
Tilura looked at it nervously.
A real fight then… Well, we had learned how to swing a sword, and the basics, on top of our nightly training. So we should have improved a lot. But I was still anxious.
Mr. Ekenhart wasn’t even pointing the sword at us. But just by holding it, he looked intimidating.
People who were used to fighting had a different aura…
“Father, are you sure about this?”
