Chapter 6: Up The Mountain (1/2)

I didn't know if his goal was to beat soo since he heard I was soe rin he had on his face while looking down at me (even if it was only natural for him to physically look down at ht've been for the for the wooden sword I received as a present froe of the ca

"You kno to reinforce your weapon right, genius?" he asked, e the last word

By this ti to put on a show of do he wouldn't hurt me too much

Many thanks dear father

Myback and forth betweena firm hold onto her husband's sleeve

Well at least ht?

I focused aze on Adaes of s with my country and loved ones at stake, popped up intomy vision to only the man in front of me He was the opponent now

I willed ripping the wooden sword tolook still present, Ada when I feinted and used a special footwork I developed inAlht Curse this body! I couldn't perfectly execute the skill because of the height and weight difference compared to my old body I wasn't used to this 40 pound, 110c for, unfortunately for Ada froht side was unprotected

His s look all but vanished and was replaced by a look of surprise, with his eyes opening wide, as he realized as about to happen

Swinging e, I reinforced my wooden sith mana at the last moment to conserve ainst a veteran like him

The look of surprise on Adam lasted all but lasted a split second before he pivoted his right foot with ale his upward swing and switchedswipe and landed a blow on his left ankle using allAdaht

He actually did a full on split, followed by a roundhouse sith his legs as soon as he was on the ground

This body won't be able to take a hit like that, so I jus when, from my peripheral view, I saw the flash of brown from his wooden stick

With no ti, I thrust the po it so Adam's wooden stick and the end of my handle would clash

Newton's Third Law of Motion suddenly came into mind

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

And boy was the opposite reaction painful While I did block the blow successfully, my 4-year-old body couldn't withstand the force of the blow and I flew before gracefully skidding on the ground like a flat rock on a lake

Thankfully, I reinforced otten hurt

Groaning, I sathead I looked up, only to see seven stupefied faces staring ather head She rushed towardsspell around my body

Out of the corner of h force to make him stumble forward Heh~

"Art honey, are you okay? How do you feel?"

"I'm fine Moht hiht my ass! How the hell did you train this littlehis head

"I didn't teach hied to mutter

He shook himself out of the stupor and came next to me to ask if I was okay I just nodded ently loweredbefore and squatted down in front of me so he was eye level

"Art, where did you learn to fight like that?"

Deciding to feign ignorance, I said, putting on a nonchalant face, "I learned by reading books and watching you dad"

I don't think saying, "Hey dad, I was the King Duelist representative of my country from a world where diplomatic and international issues are settled by battles I just happened to be reincarnated as your son… Surprise," would get a hearty reaction fro you up there little buddy I didn't expect I would need to use that ize gave uess he wasn't a total jerk

I heard a faint voice fro style is… unique How did you do that step after the feint?"

Woo co of words Jasmine said this entire trip by far

I feel so honored

"Thank you?" I responded
