Chapter 166: Mondegreen (4)
“Your sword is deeply colored by Rudehrn’s influence.”
It felt like someone had hit me hard on the back of the head. Something brushed from my left temple to my right.
With that one sentence, I could understand what the problem was.
“At first, I wasn’t sure. It felt familiar somehow. I thought you might be a disciple of someone I knew.”
“Is that so?”
“A Sword Master’s swordsmanship is not easily forgotten, but your sword wasn’t completely Rudehrn’s, and it’s been quite a while since I dueled Rudehrn, so I didn’t recognize it right away.”
Mondegreen continued with a solemn face.
“But seeing something like an awkward wave, I realized. That you’ve been greatly influenced by Rudehrn. In a bad way.”
It’s hard to describe a Sword Master’s influence as bad. But for me, it is.
