Valeric moved forward in the blink of an eye, his word poised in a thrust motion. Valeric came to a stop quickly and planted his feet on the ground and thrusted his sword forward.
WHOOM!
The air exploded as Valeric thrusted his sword forward.
Lukas was stunned by the power behind a thrust that carried no mana or aura, this was pure physical strength.
"This is what it means to achieve a strong physical prowess with one’s body" Valeric said to Lukas in a low tone was he was beside Lukas, his sword in its thrusting position.
Everyone was shocked by the power released from just a thrust by Valeric.
Valeric then retook his stance, this time he bent his center of gravity, his sword held out by his right, ready to charge and swing.
Like the European knight’s stance style.
"Lukas make sure you watch my stance and pin your eyes on every move I make" Valeric said to Lukas as he got ready to move.
Lukas just nodded.
Valeric pushed forward in an instant, he swung his blade from his right in an upper vertical slanted slash to the left.
Then he swung to the right in the same slanted vertical strike, as he moved forward with the same speed.
He slashed his sword quickly in a downward straight vertical slash, still moving, Valeric spun around sharp and quick.
As he spun, he was already swinging his sword in the same motion as he spun forward then he slashed out his sword in a wide horizontal arc slash.
In the motion of completing the slash, he pulled back his sword in a quick succession and then thrusted his sword forward almost instantly.
The same sound which sounded before when he had thrusted his sword sounded again but this time louder.
The spectators watched in pure shock at Valeric’s display of swordsmanship, those who were taking notes, their hand froze mid writing.
"Now your turn son, no mana just pure physical force, start with the thrust I showed first" Valeric gestured towards Lukas.
’His move was something, his footwork, posture and balance, I have not seen a swordsmanship like that’
Lukas looked at the man in front of him with awe.
Lukas walked forward, stopped then he took the pose his father had taken when had shown him the thrust of the sword.
He pulled back his left foot, right foot forward, using the same method he had used to executed his last display.
Lukas looked forward with focused eyes as he remembered the way his father had posed, then leaped forward while placing his sword in a thrusting position, then how he pulled back and thrusted his sword forward.
Then Lukas leaped forward, his speed instant as he did, as he dashed forward, he positioned his sword in a thrusting position just as his father had demonstrated.
Then he pulled back and thrusted his sword forward precisely and quickly, his sword stabbed through the air with is tip cleanly that the air was pushed by the force behind the thrust.
Then Lukas came to stop.
"He is a fast learner" Lena was impressed as she watched father and son
"This kid really something" Solvaria’s eyes narrowed at Lukas.
"That’s why I said I am thrilled to see what the monarch’s son can do" Velastria spoke as she had an excited look on her face.
"That was a good one my boy" Valeric smiled "Now do the next after I did the thrust"
’What! Seriously?’
Lukas just looked at his father.
<Well you are the one who asked for swordsmanship right?> Ava said to him.
’As if you were not the one that gave me the mission! And added a death penalty on top!>
Lukas felt like punching ava in the face.
Adam had thought his Japanese sword instructor back on earth had been the best when it had come to swordsmanship display but that shattered the moment Valeric pulled his own move.
Anyway, Lukas decided to do it.
Lukas took the same stance Valeric had took, held is sword out by his side ready to slash unlike when his blade was in a sheathed position, hand placed on it, ready to be drawn at any time.
Lukas mirrored the foot work stance of his father then bent his center of gravity and got ready to dash.
His mind played him through the sword slashes his father had performed. He just let out a breath ready to mimic his father display.
Lukas dashed forward instantly but his speed was nowhere that of his father. He swung his sword in the slanted vertical slash from below to the right just like his father had did.
Then as he pushed forward in the same motion, he swung his sword to the right with the same slanted vertical slash.
Remembering his father move, Lukas still moving with the same momentum, he brought down his sword to make the straight vertical slash.
Swish!
His sword came down horizontally as he was focused while Valeric just watched with a neutral expression, his eyes focused on Lukas foot work and swings. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Following the next step, Lukas used that same momentum of his to spin around just like his father had done.
"He has missed his footwork" Valeric shook his head as Lukas spun around.
Lukas was about to swing his sword in the same spinning motion when his left foot kicked against the heel of his right foot.
’Damn!’
Lukas stumbled and fell to the ground as his foot kicked against the other.
"I missed my footing" Lukas said to himself as he stared at the bright blue sky while still on the floor.
Then a face entered his line of sight, it was his father, Valeric.
"Seems like you are having trouble my boy" Valeric said to him.
"Yes, of course father, I think I am" Lukas replied.
"Give me your hand" Valeric said to him and Lukas did as he had asked and he helped Lukas to his feet.
"Okay, this is the way we are going to do it Lukas, instead follow my steps, when I move, you move, when I swing, you swing, alright?" His father told him
"That would be better father" Lukas was excited.
"Alright then let’s get stared then" Valeric said to him with a smile.
Seeing Valeric’s smile, made Adam remember his late father back on earth, when the man was learning martial arts even if he was a cop, Adam could remember when he had walked up to his father and asked him to teach him martial arts.
His father did not refuse even if his mother was against it, his father would say "replicate every move I make alongside me" with a smile on his face.
He would learn alongside his father moving in the same way his father would move, his dad will take it slowly, so that he would get the hang of it.
Because of the martial art taught by his father, that added to Adam’s strength as a soldier.
Lukas felt happy to train beside and close to his father under his watchful eyes, he felt grateful for it.
As Valeric took his first stance, Lukas followed suit then they started training side by side as father and son.
"Both father and son look so hot when training together"
"Just look at their defined bodies, it’s so sexy"
"I don’t mind him becoming my sugar daddy"
The girls at the front row said with lecherous looks, the boys and men around them could not believe their ears.
’Why you would think of the Great Sage’s husband to become your sugar daddy! You are literally asking to disappear from this world’
One guy screamed internally at the last girl’s comment
When Valeric moved, Lukas moved, when he swung, Lukas swung, if he thrusts, Lukas thrusts.
When Lukas made a mistake, his father would correct him and show him how to do it, from following his father movements.
Valeric thought him how to inject his mana into his muscles for greater movement speed and attack force, he explained to him to sense the individual muscles, since there were all of different sizes.
In order to stop the body from relying too much on mana, Valeric had told him to fill each separate muscle with the same mana volume as the size of each individual muscle. Lukas understood quickly because he had done similar when fighting against the holos.
By doing as his father had directed, Lukas had achieved a greater movement and attack power behind his swings as he re-displayed his own swordsmanship from earth.
Valeric showed him other moves and taught how to parry, parry and attack, the training session went on.
Two hours later.
Lukas sat on the ground panting as his chest heaved in and out, as his sword lay by his side.
"That was one great training session, I have ever experienced in my life" Lukas said between breaths as he was drenched in sweat.
"Well, I am glad you did enjoy it and you understood everything so fast, you are a very fast learner than I expected, although they are some adjustments to be made"
"Well, my parents are talented people with great minds, so normally your son will be a fast learner" Lukas said with a smile.
Valeric looked at Lukas who smiled at him, he couldn’t believe that this was the son he had thought he had lost.
After seeing what he was capable from been able to cast magic in close range and mid combat and use his fists in combat despite been a mage.
And now here he was showing exceptional talent in swordsmanship, he did not want to believe it, but deep down he believed maybe, his son before him could follow the path of the sword.
"Lukas do you wish to learn the Lyon Draconic Sword Style?" Valeric asked him.
Lukas was stunned when he heard his father’s words.
The Lyon draconic sword style technique was the legendary sword technique of House Lyon created by his father; from the former Lukas memories Adam knew the technique had a total of 12 styles and three forms per style.
Bella had been bestowed the technique and she could only use five styles of the technique presently.
Lukas rejoiced inwardly at the thought of been bestowed the technique, but he had to act shocked on the outside and confused at the same time.
"Yes, you can" Valeric replied.
"But I thought you said that as mage class I can’t learn the techniques of another class, right?" Lukas eyes narrowed at his father.
"I know I said that, but I want to try it, you have been so adamant to learn the way of the sword right, then let’s with our technique" Valeric replied as he walked towards him.
"Would it work?" Lukas asked as his father stood before him.
"I don’t know, I just want to try it" Valeric answered as he stood before Lukas. "Son, are you ready?" Valeric said to him.
"Well, I guess yes, as you said you want to try it out" Lukas replied.
"Okay here I go" Valeric closed his eyes.
"What is Valeric about to do?" Tristin look at him with confusion
When Valeric opened his eyes, his eyes were golden and Draconic in nature.
Lukas suddenly felt a pressure hit him instantly that his feet nearly buckled, he tried to be on his feet as he gritted his teeth.
’What in the Lord’s name is this! And why did father’s eyes take on a draconic form!’
Lukas was stunned by the pressure bearing down.
"Just bear my son" Valeric said to him, as a crimson light glowed at tip of his right index finger and then he began to write words in an ancient language on the air right in front of Lukas
<Divine Astral Dragon Man Awakened Bloodline detected!> Ava said to him’The Divine Astral Dragon man Bloodline!’
Lukas was shocked at the revelation’So, this is the power of the bloodline when its awakened, without any doubt it’s powerful!’
Lukas though tot himself as he struggled to stay on his feet as his father wrote characters in the air in an ancient language in crimson.
"He is actually trying to bestow Lukas the Lyon’s sword technique!" Tristin could not believe his eyes.
"But Lukas is a mage, that wont work! So why is he trying to do it" Veya was confused as well.
"What is the monarch doing, the universal class restriction won’t allow it to work!" Even Lena had shock and surprise written on her face.
Gato could not just believe his eyes, even the dragons were dumbfounded at this, expect Velastria.
The crowd of spectators looked in awe and shock
Soon Valeric was done writing, 12 large characters, with three smaller characters beside each large character and the characters glowed with brilliance.
The characters looked like a mix between Hebrew and the Russian language.
Valeric waved his head forward and the characters shot into Lukas forehead instantly. Valeric’s eyes returned to normal and the pressure lifted off Lukas.
Lukas drew in deep breath as the pressure disappeared, as the entire characters entered into his forehead finally.
"So, do you feel anything?" Valeric looked at Lukas as he asked.
"Well, I am not sure, it’s something supposed to happen after you bestow me the technique?" Lukas looked at Valeric with confusion.
"The effect is supposed to be instantaneous" Valeric was confused.
"Maybe we should wait" Lukas said.
"Okay maybe we should wait" Valeric agreed.
Five minutes passed and nothing.
"It didn’t work" Tristin said
"Maybe he thought Lukas could actually learn the techniques of another class that’s why he decided to try it" Veya looked at them,
"The universal class restriction in the end did not allow it" Lena sighed.
"Well, they tried, didn’t they? Now Luka would understand why one can’t learn the path of another class
"I should have known it wasn’t going to work" Valeric sighed.
"Well at least we tried right" Lukas smiled.
"Yes we did" Valeric nodded. "Lets just g-" but before Valeric could complete his sentence.
BOOM!
Lukas energy signature suddenly exploded.
