The challenge from old man Kyron was gladly accepted by Oz. With Oz’s rich experience from his old world, he has a huge confident with his sword skills, which are on par with the best swordsman on earth back then.

Oz had mastered all martial arts at a young age, including swordsmanship from western-style until Japanese style. Oz remembered the feeling of each kind of sword. Oz had grasped the concept of being one with the sword from a young age.

Back then in the earth, if Oz said he’s number 2 at swordsmanship, no one will be brave enough to declare themselves as the first. With his skills and deep knowledge of swordsmanship, Oz confidently accepted Old man Kyron’s challenge.

“Young man, use this!” Old man Kyron said, and throws a sword similar to Katana to Oz.

Oz caught the sword skillfully and gracefully.

(This young man is good, judging by his stance and his way of catching the sword; a sword seems not to be a stranger to him. He looks rather confident with his skills.)

“I’ll attack you twice. If you could defend the first attack, you passed the test, if you could defend the second attack, I’ll enroll you at the magic academy!”

“Don’t disappoint me, kid,” Old man Kyron said with a smirk.

Oz answered Old man Kyron’s provokes with a polite smile.

“I’ll try my best, not to disappoint your expectations,”

(A Katana, huh. What a surprise to see a Katana in this parallel world)

“Hmph, let’s start then,”

Old man Kyron took his stance and emit a dense killing intent making the atmosphere seems to be heavy, the gravity felt like its weight got increased by 100 folds, birds and small animals fell to the ground helplessly.

Oz took his stance, pointing the tip of the sword to the old man Kyron’s head, Oz emits his deadly dense killing intent, shocking old man Kyron’s to his senses.

!!!!?????

(Such a deadly killing intent, no wonder his face don’t even twitch when I emit my killing intent back then, his killing intent is a killing intent that only people who had face countless wars and battles could have)

(What kind of past, a young man could have to possess such terrifying killing intent and such cold eyes)

“Young man, it seems you have more secrets than I thought” Old man Kyron said. He could feel that his back is full of sweat after experiencing Oz’s killing intent.

“Let’s see how much experience you actually have!”

Old man Kyron rushes at Oz with terrifying speed, in an instant, he suddenly appeared at Oz’s back and slashes aiming at Oz’s nape.

*Sound of swords clashes*

Oz blocked old man Kyron’s strike by defending his back with the katana without even turning his back, he took advantage from old man Kyron’s momentum and led old man Kyron to fall to his front and counters.

*Sound of swords clashes*

Oz’s sword and old man Kyron’s sword collided once more. Old man Kyron manage to block Oz’s strike aimed at his neck with a close call. Old man Kyron immediately collects his balance and retreated.

“Not bad, you actually manage to block and even counter my attacks there are only a few people in this kingdom who could withstand my speed and my swordsmanship.”

(What a surprise! No need to mention about the block, he even manages to counter my attack and makes me almost lose in an instant!)

Old man Kyron got utterly shocked by Oz’s swordsmanship, to think that he never heard anything about someone with such terrifying swordsmanship like Oz is confusing him.

On the other side. Oz got good news after just exchanging a few bouts with the old man Kyron.

<A difficult move that estimated as impossible had just utilized by host>

<Detecting

.

.

.>

<The host will be rewarded ‘Sword God [Special]’ Card>

!!!!???

(Just by exchanging a few bouts, I could get such a useful skill!)

(Let’s try how effective this skill is!)

“Sword God card, activate!” Oz whispers.

“Whoa!” Oz Shocked.

He could suddenly see each and every sword trajectory he could use and every sword trajectory old man Kyron’s sword would use.

Oz smirked.

(This skill might be a little too overpowered)

(Well, let’s shock the old bones a little)

This time, Oz initiated the attacks. Oz opens the second round by infusing both mana and Qi to his feet to instantly appear at old man Kyron’s back and to pay old man Kyron’s first strike back.

Oz’s sudden attack shocked old man Kyron deep to his old bones, but he is a veteran, one who is feared even by the king in this Grandaria kingdom.

When Oz’s strike almost reached old man Kyron’s skull, old man Kyron suddenly dodged with super speed and counters with a side strike with his full power.

*Booooom!*

The meeting of both swords runs together with a loud exploding sound. Their clash made a huge hole in their arena that’s about 10 meters deep. But the bout ends with a draw.

!!!???

(This kid’s strong, I need to be more serious)

*Whoosh Whoosh*

*Sound of sword clashing fiercely*

Oz and old man Kyron continues their bouts fiercely, the fight is very fierce and fast, normal humans won’t be able to keep up with Oz and old man Kyron’s speed.

They keep on clashing with super speed, each soundwave heard like a canon being shooted, the winds clash with each other fiercely. People gathered to the place because of the fierce and loud fight.

“That… isn’t that the sword god Kyron?”

“That… That’s sword god Kyron!”

“Who’s sword god Kyron’s opponent!?”

“Their fight is so intense! My eyes couldn’t keep up!”

People gathered and make a crowd because of the epic fight that is occurring. The orphans and the staff also get outside to see what’s happening in front of their orphan.

Seeing that old man Kyron is fighting with the young man that came in together with him to his office, they got confused. Do they have a disagreement and decide to fight?

All kind of people gathers, even the knights that in the shift of patrolling got attracted by the fight.

(Ugh, this old man’s sword is accurate and precise. He could know every strike I aim and counters immediately)

*Booooom*

The second round ends with another draw, but everyone could see clearly, Oz’s condition is far worse than old man Kyron’s. Oz’s clothes got torn in several places, and he seems to be more worn out than the old man Kyron.

Old man Kyron on the other side stands calmly and all of his clothes are clean and neat.

(Damn this old man, he’s very strong!)

Oz inhales a deep breath and calms his heart.

(At the very least, in this last bout, I’ll surprise him by infusing both of the Qi and mana in my sword. I’ll split up 10% of the Qi for my hand’s speed and pour all of the tiny bit to the sword!)

Seeing Oz’s firm eyes, old man Kyron kicked the ground and dashes to Oz with terrifying speed. But different from before, Oz uses a different stance that makes old man Kyron cautious.

(Well, let’s see what this kid will show me again!)

“Hiyaah!”

When old man Kyron about to reach Oz’s spot and strikes, Oz’s roar makes him shocked and frozen for a second.

!!!???

*Boooom*

Oz’s sword clashes with old man Kyron’s sword with terrifying power, Oz’s strike shocked old man Kyron’s deep to his old bones, making him failed to dodge. But in the last moment when Oz’s sword almost makes old man Kyron’s sword hits his own body.

*Whooosh*

A dazzling light.

A golden light.

A light that makes people who saw that light wants to bow down. The golden light suddenly gushed out by old man Kyron and Oz suddenly got thrown backward by several meters.

Oz tried his best to stand with the help of his sword, there, he saw, old man Kyron’s figure suddenly felt like it got bigger 10 folds than before. But Oz saw the figure fearlessly, he gritted his teeth and pours every tiny bit energy of his body, no matter what it is, mana, Qi, or any other energy that existed in his body, he refuses to lose to an old bone from another world.

“DAMN IT ALL!”

Oz shouted, dashes and strikes old man Kyron with terrifying speed and with a body enveloped with a huge blue aura that a level with old man Kyron’s golden aura.

*Boooom*

An explosion far greater than before that makes all the people watching retreats afraid of getting the impact of the explosion.

When the dust in the air is beginning to disappear, the people could start to see both of the figures. Old man Kyron’s clothes got torn in several places and his figure could be seen to be worn out. And Oz is trying his best to keep standing with the help of his sword.

“Damn, you’re way too strong old man…” Oz said with a tired voice and fell to the cold ground, fainted.

*Sigh*

“The kingdom atmosphere sure is changing, strange things keep on coming these days, what is happening?” Old man Kyron said while gazing at the sky hoping to see a glint of the future.
