After the students have been taught they advance back to the training field.
"I called you here because I want to tell you something important.The reason I have been recently recruited as a teacher is for this same reason.Today you are going to begin a tournament that will last four years.This is why we made each class to have 16 students each It will take a week to conduct a match"Nathan explained
" It's gonna take a few years to finish.How is this even possible !"A student exclaimed
" In swordsmanship there are five ranks you need to obtain to copy the art of it.
First we have the lowest rank,a swordsmen
The rank after that is the sword specialist
The rank after that is the sword expert
The rank after that is the sword arts user
And the highest rank of all is that the swords arts experts. I am a swordsman expert and it is one of the duties of a swordsman expert to conduct your examination so the first match is going to begin now with Matero and Davis."Nathan said as both men fall into place.
They held their swords waiting for the signal to begin the match.
"Here are the rules if your opponent i
s able to point his sword at any part of your body without you unable to defend then you will have 5 points but some parts of the body will give you more points.For instant your opponent pointing your head, leg, neck and chest will give you 7 points and you need 20 points to advance to the next match with that said the match begins."Nathan declared.
Davis charges Matero as he swings sword recklessly unguarding his rib-section.Matero then attacks that unguarded place.
"Davis gains 7 points while Matero gains 5 points." Nathan declared
To Matero's amazement ,Davis had attacked his head using his unguarded rib-section as a distraction.Davis had carefully used the rules of the game to his advantage.
Both men took a few steps backwards to strategize their next move.
"If I fall for that trick again then I will be close to losing" Matero thought Both men took a few steps to strategize their next move. Matero figured out a way he could block Davis attacks plus Davis technique requires a lot of energy to be carried out so he could also use this as an advantage to wear him out.
Matero then ran to attack Davis meanwhile Davis continued his technique but this time as Davis exposed his unguarded waist, Matero launched a fake attack on it but turned to block the attack that was heading for his head. Both men tried to overpower each other but Matero was stronger than him and overpowered him to the ground. Matero then points his sword at Davis neck
"Davis gains 7 points while Matero gains 12 points"Nathan declared
Matero then stood in a fixed position while Davis took a few steps backwards.Matero planned to dodge Davis next attack and land one of his own.
Davis then threw his sword over Matero landing at his back as he ran towards Matero.This completely distracted Matero who was curious to figure out Davis plan. Davis then picked up his sword attacking it at Matero's neck but due to Matero's sharp reflexes he blocked him and used his knee to hit Davis's stomach which made him fall to the ground. Matero then pointed his sword at Davis's neck.
"Matero has acquired a point of 19 and Davis down to 7 points"Nathan said
Both men immediately fought an attack and block type of fighting trying to wear each other out this continued for a long time but Davis had become tired and was not able to keep this up just one more point is enough for Matero to win but there was nothing he could do and fell to the ground as Matero points his sword at Davis's head
"Matero wins with 26 points and Davis down to 7 points" Nathan said
How could I, A member of the family of the legendary swordsmen be defeated so easily? I am truly pathetic Davis thought to himself
Davis had always been the weakest member of the family of the legendary swordsmen.He was disowned by his parents when his younger sister Elvis proved to be stronger than him and yet he could not live up to their expectations.
"I will end your suffering" Matero raises up his sword to cut Davis's neck
"Matero don't do this!" Sting shouted as he threw his sword hitting that of Matero away.
"Sting behaved like a sword specialist. He was able to unlock his hidden potential he is truly amazing"Nathan thought.
" I was told by Santiago to end the match if something like this happens but I guess the match has already ended and this could improve Sting's abilities
"I need to execute the Will of the sword". Matero returns back from school to see blood shed on the floor and walls
" Dad, Mum where are you?"Matero then saw the bodies of his parents on the floor. His parents were dead and Matero started crying.The swordsmen that had killed his parents were not gone yet and when they heard Matero's voice they were determined to kill him.
" Hey kid don't blame us for killing your parents. We were just executing the will of the sword"One of them said
" The will of the sword?"Matero said
