[EXPERIMENTAL] Novel - "Reincarnated again but on Another World?"

Chapter 48 - Where the hell did you go, Kai?!

"So... you are telling me to teach you how to create your own sword techniques? Am I correct?"

"Yes," I said with puppy eyes.

"You know that's not going to work for me anymore."

"Tch."

"Hey, who taught you that?! Never mind. Anyways, why do I need to teach you how to create your own sword techniques if you can already develop one? Every swordsman develops their own sword styles over time so I don't need-"

"I know that. But I wanted to make something that I can call my own. You know, like yours. I heard from Oto-san that you abandoned the Royal Style and the Imperial Style and created your own style that managed to keep up with both the styles, if not better."

"Oh that. It's true that I have abandoned those two styles but my own style is just a combination of numerous styles including the Royal Style and the Imperial Style. I also incorporated some techniques in the East, the West, and the South. I made my own style after learning all of those numerous sword styles and polished it and made my own movements. I also made sure to try it out with inferior and superior opponents to test what works or not by sparring with many knights and even Oto-san to test how good it was-"

"And that's exactly it."

"What?"

"You had people helping you create and polish your own sword style, right?"

"Wait, is that what you meant?"

"Yeah, I can't test it out with other people since they aren't capable enough, not that I'm saying that they are weak, it's just that my body is a tad bit stronger than most..."

"Ooohhh... then how about Oto-san?"

"I did. However, I think of him as the superior swordsman the both of us so he is the superior opponent. I think the commander and the vice-commander will work for the inferior opponent. But I wanted someone in the middle that can do both at once."

"Did you just say that both our commanding and vice-commanding leaders in our army are inferior to you? Also, I am at least the same level as Oto-san, so what makes you think I am just someone in the middle?"

"Well, I did beat both of them in a minute at the same time with my eyes closed and didn't even attack."

"Then how did you manage to defeat them if you didn't attack?!"

"... I parried a bit too hard and the sword slipped into a certain angle which I unconsciously used a form and... yeah."

"... Is our army that weak or have you gotten too strong that you managed to defeat the top-ranked leaders of our army..."

"I mean, who do you think taught me?"

He became silent and face-palmed himself for not noticing what exactly he did to me. He forgot that he trained me brutally for years and he is someone who defeated the commander at a very young age so obviously I would be able to do it as well.

"Ok, ok. But why do you think that I'm just the middle?"

"Because you have trained me for so long that you should be able to become the middle man. Both the inferior and superior opponents that I chose don't fully know how I move and fight but you do, so you are perfect for it."

He made a very confused expression on his face before letting out a sigh.

"So because I know how you fight, I can properly adjust my level to match your needs?"

I smiled as to say that he is correct. He made a complicated expression before smirking, chuckling, and finally laughing.

"Hahaha! I thought you meant that I was weaker than Oto-san or something. Fine, I'll help you then."
