The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - [Author: Writing Ant]

Chapter 14

"Sword? That's all good, but can you run before learning how to walk?"

Rimmer's corner of lips twisted up. His cool smile seemed to blow a chilly wind towards them.

"You don't have enough stamina or willpower, nor do you have the proper posture yet. Do you think you can really learn how to handle a sword properly?"

"Ah..."

"I've said this already, but you don't need to follow my instructions. Since the consequences are yours to manage, anyway."

It was a playful voice, but the training ground fell silent.

"Follow me if you want. Those who wish to do other training should move over to the right."

Naturally, nobody moved. Everyone stood still and looked at Rimmer.

"Then let's start over. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Then, bend your knees with your thighs parallel to the ground."

"Yes, sir!"

The children followed the posture without difficulty.

"This posture is called the riding position. It's how you ride a horse, and it's also a basic posture for every martial art-including sword, spear, and fist. Keep the riding position until I tell you to stop."

"Yes!"

The children raised their arms after answering loud and clear. Since it was one of the basic postures, nobody failed to follow it.

Humans really are inferior, to train their bodies in such an awkward position.

'And you failed to take over such a human's body.'

Kuh! That's different...

'I have to focus, so hush.'

Raon hit the flowery bracelet and closed his eyes.

'This is an important moment.'

Even in that kind of basic training, he could gain a lot by using the Ring of Fire. He could make his training way more efficient than the other children.

"I'm gonna take a nap."

Rimmer laid down and started to doze off again, and the riding position continued forever.

"Groan..."

"Ugh!"

"H-How long do we have to keep this up?!"

The children's limbs trembled, as if there was an earthquake. Despite the riding position being a basic posture, it was their first time maintaining it for such a long time.

There was an exception, though. The upper tier children, including Runaan and Burren, kept their proper posture.

"Wh-What's wrong with that guy?"

"How is he able to hold on!"

"He... He was supposed to have the worst constitution!'

"I heard he was a patient..."

Raon kept his posture while sweating heavily. The posture's accuracy alone was better than anyone in the training ground.

"Gaaaah!"

"I... I can't lose to him."

"There's no way I'll stop when he is holding on like that!"

The children from the lower tier were about to give up. Upon seeing Raon still holding on, they kept their posture and grit their teeth.
