Original: CEO ft Enice
"In fact, the first place in the Fencing Association I think... I still need a lot of practice."
'i need more practice'
The words from the stranger still echoed in Kanin's ears even after days had passed. His double eyes fixed on his father's face. While the saber in hand was in a ready position,
The well-formed face was serious, as if preparing for training. On the contrary, the inner mind that is always distracted by strangers does not give up.
The tactit movement signal calls for the thin body to come back and try to concentrate on the situation in front of him.
The young man moved to avoid the tip of the shiny sword that shot from the left side. Before turning around again to dodge the sharp too slashed from the right side
Kanin relied on the moment for just a fraction of a second, raising his arm in hopes of stabbing the counter to score a point. But it might be because he didn't concentrate enough on everything that was set in his mind. So it's not as expected.
Missed... Easily missed
"Nin", the sound of the vote counting signal sounded. With a heavy sigh coming from his father Kanin pursed his lips tightly. Know immediately what will happen next.
"..."
"You don't concentrate at all, do you know that?"
Tatdanai using a deep, fierce voice. The middle-aged man turned and pulled the wires out of his armor. While removing the metal mask, then stood and grafted the eyes with young people with sight.
"Nin knows that Nin can't concentrate." Kanin thinks he shouldn't make any excuses.
The young man sighed he was quite annoyed at himself for accidentally allowing someone to influence his thoughts.
How arrogant was that bastard to introduce him to his shortcomings? Which will conclude that the first place of the association should be better, although no one has ever said this to him before.
"What makes a child focus?"
"Nonsense thing."
"Kanin, if that nonsense distracts your mind when wielding a sword. You know what that means right?" The young man did not reply, but he knew in his heart the meaning that Tatdanai wanted to convey.
Hesitation, inaccuracy...is the never-ending path to victory. Only defeat awaits us.
"You should stay by yourself to review."
"Father said that if Nin tried to adjust the posture try not to move your left shoulder before swinging your sword. Can Nin beat Father?"
"Huh?" A sentence that hadn't been thoroughly thought our was blurred out by the owner of the small body. Tatdanai stopped his footsteps before turning around to look at his only son with suspicious eyes.
"Well... So be it." Kanin closed his eyes slightly, clutching the sword in his hand until he realized that he had accidentally said some sentence that was stuck in his mind. The young man rebuffed, intending to end the conversation here. But Matt seemed to react completely differently than before.
"Say it again...say the sentence you just said again."
"It... Sigh, Nin said that if Nin tried to adjust the posture try not to move your left shoulder before throwing the sword, what will it be? I mean...what do you think?" The young man reluctantly repeated the same sentence twice. He remained silent to secretly observe his symptoms and waited for his father's answer. Every second seemed to pass more tame than Tatdanai response.
"I think I can." Riori's eyes, which had one been filled with calmness, calmed down. Now concealed with a trace if contentment
"..."
"I'm glad Nin is now Children their own shortcomings."
Scorching!
If Was an if an invisible lightning had struck through Kanin's head. The young man didn't even know what kind of expression he was making this time. Small eyes widened, pale lips opened. Lastly, with eyebrows that are drawn together in the center of the forehead until it becomes a messy knot, not different from thinking.
"Father saying this means that in the past Father knows how Nin will throw a sword because Bin's left shoulder moves?"
"Yes"
"This is what Father told Nin to improve. But refused to tell me where to fix it?"
"Yes"
"It means that if Nin adjusts the movement is Nin going to win against Father?"
"Right." The hot bather before nodded firmly. Kanin gaped and shook his head at Tatdanai words. Reinforcing that what that guy said was true...
"Not really..." The young man muttered, turning away. Those anti-body gestures were enough for a subjectively intelligent person to notice.
"Did someone tell you that?" The older man probingly asked. In fact, Tatdanai wasn't so sure. But because Kanin's eyes never hide the truth he could see that his only son was in a state of confusion.
"No." The stubborn boy turned into a shepherd boy. Kanin hurriedly avoided his gaze by turning to pick up a water bottle near him, opened it and quenched his thirst. He tried to dodge the eagle's sharp gaze. Pretended to turn your gaze away from where you are But he didn't know that the more he covered everything that was concealed, the clearer it became.
Kanin has never lied once.
"If no one told me, how would you know?"
"Nin..."
"Think carefully before replying to your father." The decree sentence was no different from the hammer that smashed down on Kanin's outer mask. The young man let out a big sigh. Slightly sullen mouth with a routine that he likes to accidentally do out of nowhere at the moment.
"It's okay," Uboi mumbled softly. Kanin made eye contact with older people. For a moment, he hurriedly hid the feeling in his heart as usual. "But the speaker is not good at anything. It's more like a delusion going on and on."
"Damn it? And what did he say? Tell your father about it." The older man turned to pick up a water bottle, pretending not to care. As he asked in a calm voice because he knew his son's personality better than anyone else
If the more excited to know the more stubborn children will feel the urge to resist. Therefore, sometimes... Tatdanai has to take the official method of issuing a sword and apply it to raising children. Pause to read the game. stand still for attack
"He said that Nin moved his left shoulder before throwing his sword, thus letting the opponent know in advance. Said Nin had to be more careful. And also came to say that the first place in the association should be better than this.... disgusting, insulting."
At the end of the sentence, as if whispering it was a whisper filled with anger and emotion. Kanin was upset, he also wanted to know that the still-faced stone statue how sure
Kanin's appearance, momentarily frustrated, face tight, at times mumbled and complained to himself. All of them fell into the eyes of Tatdanai almost all of them. The father secretly smiled before clearing his throat lightly in order to summon sikanin out of his reverie.
"So you think it's true?"
The middle-aged man asked questions for his son to express his opinion. Tatdanai does not want to guide the child. Even in my heart Iam grateful for that person's words quite a bit. It seemed that someone poked the wound open. It will accelerate Kanin to see his own flaws faster.
"Nin doesn't know"
"I don't know, I have to prove it," Tatdanai finished speaking and turned to put down the water bottle. Thick palms reached out to pick up the mask and put it on again. Before the burly body moved to connect the wires for counting the scores to the suit
That my father taught me." The speaker stood up in a ready position. Causing the instincts in Kanin's body to move almost immediately
"Nin will win over father." The voice that spoke through the metal mask became more serious. The youth moved his left hand behind his back. His right hand gripped the hilt of his beloved sword. While using his gaze to look at his opponent... Yes, in the field of competition they will not have the bond of family.
The youngster was convinced if his variable was actually moving his left shoulder. so game theory that the father used to teach must be effective Even if the opponent is his own father...
"I see you say this all the time." Tatdanai twitches a smile from the corner of his mouth. Those gestures made the young people more enthusiastic than before.
"This time, Nin will not lose."
"Then come in."
The atmosphere in the practice room seemed more relaxed. Kanin no longer showed a worried expression. When the young man regained his concertraition on cultivation
The little one in Tatdanai's eyes looked playful and didn't seem to even realize that the left shoulder that user to be a problem. This time, it had a different movement than Duti.
Tatdanai smiled at the results that the instructor needed, ad he had notice. Kanin is stubborn, but not a stubborn child, even though his mouth says against it. But in practice, the other party is incredibly detailed. Kanin's movements of blowing the sword are delicate in some strokes. But aggressive when the time comes
All the actions that are shown completely conflicting with the cute face of the other party. Like the positive and negative poles a wolf wrapped in sheep's skin No, Kanin is probably a wild car with fangs bit is wrapped in fluffy rabbit skin.
The middle-aged man brushed off his son's sword. While staring at the young man Tatdanai stared back, recalling the time when the other party was still innocent. When he was young, Kanin had the habit of following his father everywhere. No matter where he was doing what he was doing, the catchphrase of the little guy that he heard on a regular basis was
"Father can do it, Nin can do it"
Selfish from a young age until now...
"What did my father do, and what did Nin do?
A small child who follows his father in the past today is growing bigger than before.
It's a pity that there is not much time left to spend together... Tatdanai can only hope that in the future this song will be able to enjoy simple things or at least think about it when he sees the food that he used to complain about. That you don't like it every day
Because he himself would miss Kanin a lot...
Even though i shouldn't even think about it.

'Engarde
Pratt
Alle'
The signal from the referee ended. The two swordsmen on the Bauts immediately began to fight. The two contestants took turns scoring the scores so hard that they could be said to be uncompromising.
The sound of the vote counting signal continued to sound continuously and intermittently. Until the 4th minute The side that used the red light to count the points showed superior tactics by slashing and stabbing their opponent twice in a row, eliminating the winning result in the 5th minute.
Kanin, the representative of the red faction, took off his metal mask. He turned his face towards the scoreboard. Before smiling at the corner of his mouth with satisfaction the thin figure soun around to hide his smile politely. At the same time, he turned to respond to the hand of the opposing contestant in a friendly manner.
The young man gave a smile and talked to the green team naturally. Before the next minute, the winner's mood turned upside down in a frighteningly nimble manner.
The double eyelids shifted in focus, the five senses did not stop at the participants of the playing field. When there is a new goal that draws Kanin's attention more
The soft lips suddenly closed in a smile. The cute face was numb. When someone's talk and dignified figure appeared in the line of sight
That man has come again...
Maybe because today's bounty is a race within the group for people who want to go to compete at the city level to explore their own readiness. The club therefore opens it's house to outside visitors to occupy the seating area as in real time matches. The surrounding Amphitheater was particularly bustling. But in the midst of many people, Kanin's eyes were fixed on that person...
The white-skinned man styled his black hair to stand out, matched with his sharp eyes.
The other party crossed his arms, looking down at the same position as if it were a recurring projection, no different from the previous day. As if your elder acted in one position Completely still, not moving and still following each other, not letting go worse than ghosts that don't want to pop up to be born... Or have to pray to chase away
Kanin condemned another person vigorously in his heart. The young man bowed his head and bid farewell to his rival. Before separating from others at first glance, the brain intends to ignore it. But just moments later, the goal changed.
The small figure took off his protective clothing, his slender legs heading forward. Stand in to stand still to confront the owner of the body with a sharp eyes as a weapon. They stared at each other, allowing a silence that was no different from a small war of nerves to last for nearly three full minutes. Until Kanin opened the scene again
"You came to see me?"
"..."
"Fine, I don't want to answer that."
The young shrugged indifferently. Kanin didn't even care if this guy would answer or not. He had no intention of wanting to know what the other party was coming or going for. But the main reason for walking straight to this point that was because the youth had some important matters to discuss.
In fact, calling it a come to correct an insult might sound more appropriate.
"..."
"I'm just here... To let you know that I'm still number one at the club."
"...."
"Even if your eyes see that I'm incompetent but in the eyes of the masses and on the scorecard on that screen it's clearer than the words and words of ordinary people, don't you think?" Kanin only smiled. But not to the eyes
If the painful sentence that the other party entrusted last time said that it was already very painful this time, Kanin also had the same sharp response. The boy stared at the eyes with a stranger, intended to disturb the emotions of the person Infront of the smile.
"Oh, but even if so, I have to come to thank you anyway. Thank you for teaching, even though it's a tutorial that I didn't ask for. Thank you very much..."
"..."
"But next time you won't have to."
Got hit like this, if it were someone else, they would have stood up and put up a boxing match. However, with the man in front of him, he managed to Maintain his calmness perfectly.
Only the corners of bis mouth twitched and drew slowly. When the owner of the gall body rose to his feet
The black eyes cast their gazes downward as their heights were clearly spaced. Kanin accidentally pulled his foot backwards. The slender hand automatically held up in the air as the other scurries closer to each other so close that you can feel the faint scent of perfume ...from the body of a mysterious figure
"You know, besides twitching shoulders when you go back, you like to repeat your feet in two strokes."
"..."
"You may lose points. If you find someone who is better than these people."
"So what, now I..."
"Be number one now. It doesn't mean that you can be number one forever."
------------------------------------
"I hate that bastard."
"Why would you hate him? Didn't you just say that what he warned about wad correct?"
Paul leaned forward and whispered while handing over a plate of steamed rice. The big English man naturally turned to the waiter to order chili sauce. Before turning to lightly slap Kanin's shoulder when he saw that he still did not seem to be in a better mood
It's been almost an hour. But Kanin still couldn't deal with his own feelings. Perhaps because he knew in his heart that those words had a real basis. The irritated feeling in his chest could not be shaken off immediately. He was still taut, although sitting in the midst of laughter from his teammates, his mood was as gloomy as the cloud sky.
If anyone is to blame, it's the stone statue alone.
"That guy's words are mind blowing."
Kanin said that he turned to pick up a glass of water to drink to quench his hot temper. Now he's sitting in a Thai restaurant in SoHo. It is a restaurant that is famous for its intense taste and it the same restaurant that Paul said to propose to raise. Due to the opportunity to win three races in a row
"Well, I usually don't think about it that much."
"But this time it's not normal."
"How?" Paul asked as his eyes fixed on the various dishes that a few restaurant employee gradually brought to serve. Kanin bent his mouth, the more he thought of the cause, the more frustrated he was.
"Because father agrees with what that guy suggested."
Not accepting mistakes. Kamin already realized where he was flawed. But the reason for being offended is like this. It was because the words of the arrogant man had the support of the person he trusted the most, his father.
"Your father? Well then, it's even better. Your father is good at dying," Alex, sitting next to, blurted our. After Nyan sat quietly. Listened for a long time
"..."
"When your father advised Paul, Paul got better than usual, don't you remember? Otherwise., He would never have been able to sit and feed us after winning three bounty in a row like this."
"True, I agree with Alex. That guy might actually be really good... meaning someone has to criticize him for doing it. It's not bad, right?"
At this moment, it turns out that all his friends have defected in favor of strangers. Kanin sighed deeply. Keep all the fuss in mind before pretending to be uh uh uh uh answer the words
"Hey, you're half Emmaly, aren't you Kanin?" Someone said as the food Infront of him was nearly half depleted. Kamin took his eyes off the orange curry. Spicy turned and nodded to pay attention to the question of his teammates.
"Why?"
"My friend asked me. Is it true that in your country they make children practice swordsmanship every day? From the age of three I knew I could handle a sword better than a fork."
"Oh, I heard that in that country, when selecting a new king. They have to bring their children to compete in the swordsmanship as well. Considered as one of the tests I used to watch short videos from decades ago on YouTube."
Someone else said with the fact that the store is quite noisy Kanin did not know which words belonged to whom exactly.
"No wonder... People from this country always make it to the finals in the Olympics. You are good, your father is good."
The last sentence belongs to Kevin, a young foreigner with Ta Nam Khao. The other party was flirty in talking. Enthusiastic enough to cause Kanin to turn his attention to the topic of conversation.
"Other people don't know. But my father forced me to hold a sword everyday." The young man shrugged. He let out a small laugh in his throat. When he thought of his father who ordered him to beat and beat again, it was as if fencing was a very important thing in life that Kanin could not abandon.
Dad says, "its in the blood"
As for the questions above, I honestly said that Kamin could not answer. He was born and raised in England, I have never stepped on Emmaly once. If you take anything as an answer it would have to be measured by the strictness of his father throughout his lifetime...
Kanin assumed that it must be true ad what his friends said.
Maybe Emmaly will train the kids. Catching a sword from birth, I guess...can cut a sword before walking, that's cool.
In fact, to imply rigor his father was not a specific type based solely on sword training. But there are other well-rounded stories. Many more that Kanin was screwed.
For example piano lessons learn to sing Studying social sciences, economics, and will also learn other languages that some of his friends may not have expected, including Thai, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic.
I learned so much at Paul it's no wonder why. That's why he didn't have time to find a girlfriend anywhere. What should I say? It's just that i don't have much free time to play around in my life. Kanin's life seemed to be scheduled to walk in the way that his father had drawn. Even though his father didn't pressure him to make him hare studying. But his independence and childhood sis not go as other children should.
Many times Kanin thought to question himself and may times he asked Tatdanai.
Young Man couldn't understand why one would have to master everything. But that's because his father was like no other. The answer I got back was no different from the mathematics exam...
Difficult problems and still requires a high level of understanding... Tatdanai has always been like that. Persuade around and wait until he settles on his own.
"Father trains you to actually fencing. But fencing is a finite game. Finish the game within the time limit. So what is it that you need to consider?"
The father's words from the previous night flashed into the memory. Kanin recalled that the topic of discussion took place in the third training session of the night.
"Keep the rules, beat the opponent within the time limit," the thin figure immediately replied with confidence.
"Right, so... If you want to defeat a superior opponent in the allotted time... But you still have to obay the rules. What to do?"
The middle-aged man paused, leaving his son to ponder. Kamin instinctively moved slightly. In his brain, he processed it before frowning as he thought of something.
"There are two ways" Kanin holds the sword in a ready position. Through the metal mask, the boy met his father's eyes, suddenly feeling nervous for no reason. Because I was worried about my own answer
"Come on", because he wasn't too sure about what he was about to say. Kami. Stood still for a long time. If took several minutes until he was willing to reach out and say what was on his mind.
"The first way, practice by reading the opponent's way. Find the weak point and overcome the opponent's weakness. The second way...must make the opponent a foul party...and we will win."
The speaker gulped down his throat as he knew the meaning of the sentence.
When Kanin said was no different from those who played dishonesty. Crooked, cowardly...but the young man only thought according to the variables his father have him in the problem. He measures the possibility to race against time
We need to make choices that will achieve our goals as quickly as possible. That inevitably included causing the opponent to become the foul side. To eliminate opponent's from the competition as well
"But in every sport we cannot do that. I'd you deliberately break the rules during the game, you will become a cheater," Tatdanai said in a flat tone. Emphasizes the word deliberately. To open the way for young people to think accordingly
"But outside of time it might be Possible... Right?"
The quick-witted boy flew away too quickly for his brain to catch up. Kanin's eyes widened, somewhat shocked by his own thoughts. Resulting in the sword thrusting forward this time distorted.
Missed... But Kanin vaguely saw that under the metal mask the father was nodding his head in satisfaction.
"Yes, that's right, you can do it outside of hours...so you have to be on your guard. Live a conscious life consider advantages and disadvantages. To see the true purpose of who-what-for-who-why... because in life we have no right to know who will play outside the rules. The slightest bit of carelessness might put you at a disadvantages."
"..."
"Don't forget that every match we only need one winner. You have to figure out who play what kind of games, how they play."
"And must not forget that the fact that in this world human beings are all natural. There are still many who are willing to break the rules to win. Because they thought it was an easier way than a fair competition." Before nodding as a signal to the young man to do the same thing
Kanin got it... His father didn't teach him to cheat, but he was teaching him to catch up with people. Being proud of being superior and not looking around could lead to disaster... Tatdanai was teaching him to open his mind wide. Just as one should open his heart to that man's objection...
Even though it hurt, Kanin could not deny the fact that he best his father that night by one point. Because of teh adjustment of the movement, the left shoulder moves less. As a result, Tatdanai can't read the game. Even mixed with the compromise of older people but even so... The young man couldn't escape the truth.
The more you know where the mistake is and try to fix it. In the end, the body no longer accepted the habit. Your body's intuition calls for adaptation. Every time Kanin hits his left shoulder, that's why he's moving little by little... By little. Even barely moving at the end of the game
What someone else said is true...
But then how... He and that guy will never see each other again after graduating, Kanin indents to disappear from the Fencing Club for a while.
The position of captain will go to Teammate 'Alex' and his life will return to freedom there's no reason to meet that bastard's face again.
Goodbye forever
Where is it?
Kanin stood still in front of his own door. After parting with Paul
He headed home in hopes of resting his body and mind. But the misery in life didn't stop there. The young boy frowned and cursed the heavens above to blame the angles or someone who has the duty to wire their lives for each other.
His double eyes were fixed on him, struggling hard to read the situation in front of him.
But until then he still couldn't understand... He looked through the tall windows of the house. Before he stopped his gaze at that strange man...
A tall figure with a started posture. There was nothing unusual from what I had seen. Except that the other party was sitting on the sofa in the middle of his house with the father standing beside him... And also had a calm and polite expression. As if someone of a lower rank...
What the hell kind of crazy thing is this...
