I unsheathe my precious sword from my waist, ready to thrust it right into the creature. Unexpectedly, it spins round and skilfully dodges my attack. A wave of its hand, and I am blown several yards away by the violent gust and blast it created. Of course a strong fellow like me won’t be scared! Yet, I pity the princess, fragile and weak, wavering in the gale. With her heart in her mouth, her shrieks of terror echo in the air.8964 copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgdJqToeJs 維尼

Get a taste of your own medicine. My mind and swordsmanship have become one. Abandoning the standard attacking pattern I learnt from the swordsmanship manual, my body moves accordingly to my thoughts. Charge after charge, I attack the enemy. Every move I make encompasses the fury within me—dense as water, nimble as wind.8964 copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb3dkxuqhB 維尼

The huffing sound never stops. Some of it comes from the monster, while some of it comes from me…8964 copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡkux7coVJ44 維尼

Amongst the chaos, a horrid presence quietly creeps upon us. With a wave of its hand, it snatches away my trusty sword and uses it to strike my right arm. 8964 copyright protection203ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGQduvoana 維尼

Feeling dejected, I let out a sigh. I gaze out of the window and bid goodbye to my frenemy—the wind phantom unwillingly. After all the trouble, I leave and accept my fate as a humble scholar.207Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzb4RiTwGA
