Legend of the Immortal

Northwood Army

Training House

  A year passed quietly with Bell and Rica training endlessly.

Everyday was the same, wake up, breakfast, training, lunch, training, dinner, sleep.

It turned into a sort of mantra repeated daily.

Bell taught Rica all there was to know about the sword art of his, [Freezing Sun, Burning Winter].

Many adventurers, often came to the training house where one could practice without reserve.

As such, many saw the two of them practicing.

At first, they seemed to just be two kids playing around with swords, blocking and thrusting whenever.

Then, as people sat there looking at them making remarks about how good their childhood was, they stared and stared.

The once normal sword fighting turned into a sort of beautiful dance, entrancing one after looking at it.

The girl would dodge sideways before using her sword to block his and punching the boy in his side.

The boy would retaliate blocking her hand whilst twisting his body to avoid the sword and strike with his sword.

Many sat there just entranced by the swordplay.

Then, what was considered beautiful swordplay became the miraculous swordplay.

After a few days, the people who had watched the pair fight all had somehow improved in their skill regarding their selected weapons be it bows, shields, axes etc.

This became an uproar within the fighting related guilds and many skeptics came to the training house to see for themselves if the rumour would prove true.

Sure enough, it was proven and soon, thousands upon thousands of people were crowding around the pair as they fought.

This proved to be beneficial to the training house they went to and the training house soon let Bell and Rica use the room for free considering people paid big money just to watch.

Then, many started to try to go up to the mysterious pair to ask them how they did it but was stopped by a barrier.

Many were unsatisfied and called several elementalists to come to figure out what kind of barrier it was.

The elementalists were all befuddled by this barrier blocking them all.

All they could tell was that more than five elements were used to produce such effect giving the pair an even more mysterious air.

The blue haired girl who was the idol of many men and women.

The dashing black haired boy, hair tied back giving out infinite boyish charm.

"Rica, let's not use just dull metal swords anymore. Today, use magic and infuse it into your swordplay and wear some armour. I'll be using a unique grade sword but I'll up my sealed strength more this time." Bell remarked as they were eating in their room.

"Yes teacher." Rica replied happily, her mouth full of rice.

"I have some good news for you today but don't you go spreading it." Bell said with a casual smile as he waited for Rica to finish eating.

"What is it teacher? Hurry up and tell me! It's not like I go out much nowadays. And coming from you, it's probably something I wouldn't even believe under normal circumstances." Rica answered exasperated.
