Chapter 19 - V1 17

He couldn't move his body the way he thought. His thought and body won't be able to keep up with things especially in the combat he had to adapt his body for combat and movement. 

He left his room and went to the training ground. He had been wanting to swing a sword as long as he had been reincarnated. After all the modern society didn't allow him to wield a weapon especially not with his physique. he had always wanted a wield a real sword.

Soon he reached the training ground reserved for the member of the Crowley family. The plain green land which is reserves for the members only. 

"Activate training ground" He called out loud.

"Activating training ground."The autonomous voice of clock dice answered and soon the ground started to change and the the grass were slowly started to with desert sand. Desert sand is the perfect place to train for any thing. 

Soon the grass is completely replaced with the sand. 

He took the sword grip the hilt of the sword and started swinging the sword. He doing cuts. He swung the sword vertically downwards and it a downward slashes upward slashes diagonal slashes.

"I should get a sword art from the family vault." Blake thought out loud.

"Even if you use the family sword art you wouldn't do anything better young master."

Raven the head butler of the Talen family appeared at the training ground 

"you sword art is crude and unpolished"

"even if you use the family sword art you, you fighting would be unpolished and clumsy"

"you don't have the basic swordsmanship to use a battle art to it potential."

"What are you doing here Raven?, Even if you are the head butler you can't enter the the Crowley family training ground."He questioned the head of the talen family.

"I just got out of the receiving order's from the head. He said i will be accompanying you in your travel journey, to escort you safely to the Academy and Train you in the coming six months."

"So, i have received permission from the Head to be here. " Raven answered Blake question in the seeming odd tone.

"I see! so what do you mean about my swordsmen ship." Blake questioned him, Squinting eye's Blake is not some third rate villain who wouldn't listen to anyone. 

In Blake eyes getting to be trained by Raven is even better than to be trained by his brother Cyphon, While Cyphon is in Legendary rank, Raven is in Divine Rank he is one of the few people in divine ranks of Crowley family with decades of experience.

He had fought side by side with Thomas and is the most loyal subject of the family. That's the reason that Thomas immediately took his name when he heard the amends and time limit. 

He is the person who is most trusted by Thomas after all he has been managing the it with all this time.

"I mean to say that your swordsman ship neither has form or stance, it very raw and coarse"Raven asserted him.

"We have to start you swordsmen training with fundamentals. let me tell you something young master."

his gazed hardened 

"The art of combat is killing refined into a skill."

"Every battle you fight must be with the intent to kill whoever is standing opposite to you."

"Killing huh!" Blake muttered

"Yes, you haven't been training for past 17 years you body isn't able to move with combat, you haven't faced an enemy,neither have you killed anyone"

"The sword is drawn to kill the enemy it doesn't matter how? we will have to work on the fundamental's"

Raven threw a glance at Blake and "what type of weapon do you prefer young master?" Raven asked

"I prefer Katana "

"may i question the reason"

"It very light, fast precise for quick draw and fast combat" Raven started at the Blake and stated " it's also great for quick detachment of human body"

Blake started at the Raven for sometime and wondered 

*Is all that goes inside his head is decapitation,killing. I have never killed anything in my life i wonder how it does it feel killing someone, will i feel disgusted killing someone, will it be emotion detachment or will it severe trauma repetition's of killing someone 

"i wonder" he muttered it out loud.

"Are you wondering how it will feel to kill somebody?" Raven inquired his voice laced with a faint trace of interest.

"Yes" 

"Well it's different for everyone, Some feel traumatized, some accept it as it is, there are people who enjoy killing. But the first kill is always disgusting." he spoke to Blake about it.

" And i presume you are the type enjoy it" Blake questioned.

Raven never didn't answered but smiled and asked him

"you should pick up the your Katana, we will begin your training, i have to paramount the foundation in your body in 3 months only then i will allow you to go to take the legacy."

 *yeah yeah don't answer i know you do you monster, but what he said is really bothering me rather than his words it seems like it father's word's and he really wouldn't allow me*

Blake reluctantly picked up the katana and stood in front of Raven.

" The katana most basic stance is

keep you left leg slight behind the right one"

Blake did as he is instructed

"Knees should be bent and flexible to move . Katana majorly focuses on speed and quick draw."

Blake bent the knee but it was bent slightly too much 

"Slap"

Raven slapped the Blake thigh's to correct the posture

"hips should be square with body upright"

Raven kept instructing Blake on posture with beati-correcting him in his posture.

"sword held should at aiming at the opponent's neck with " he said as he stood opposite to him gesturing to point it at him.

"you right should grip the sword at tusba, 

while left being at the bottom."

"Relax your elbow, you are too tense, you body should be relaxed when facing an enemy" He warned in a stern tone

"You should start practicing every move a thousand times" Raven demanded.
