263. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [34]

After parting with Bacchus-san, we rested up at the Arcstria villa.

The next day, we had a light breakfast and did our respective training in the morning.

Naturally, sightseeing in Cherin is temporarily stopped.

No swordsman will overlook the opportunity to learn Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style.

This was a common understanding between all of us.

The time is 11:30 am. Only 30 minutes left until the scheduled time.

「Are you all ready? Did you forget anything behind?」

The president asked, glancing over each of us who were gathered on the doorstep of the villa.

「Of course, I am ready perfectly!」

「Change of clothes, a towel, beverages, and first aid kit… all perfect though!」

Lilim-sensei and Ferris-sensei gave the okay sign.

「Yes, I’m fine too.」

「No problem here either.」

Ria and Rose nodded.

Everyone’s motivation was higher than ever, and there was a very good atmosphere flowing.

「Allen-kun, are you ready?」

「Yes, we can leave at any time.」

「Well then, let’s head out.」

We got on the gliders, and headed out to the isolated island which is located on the other side of the Hundred Million Year Sakura.

■

We sighted Bacchus-san from the sky and landed in his near vicinity.

After that, we exchanged a little greeting,

「I see, so that’s the machine called the “glider” huh. It has a mysterious shape. Times have changed so much that such a small chunk of iron can fly through the sky.」

He, who is not so bright to machine-related things, muttered while fixed on the glider with a serious expression.

「Well, that doesn’t matter. Let’s start the training immediately.」

「「「「「Yes!」」」」」

Then we placed our baggage under the shade of a tree and gathered around Bacchus-san.

「All right. So first of all, I’ll briefly explain what the Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style is.」

He massaged his white beard and slowly proceeded with the explanation.

「Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style is not a complex nor mysterious swordsmanship. On the contrary, it is a plain and simple sword for “real battle”. A thorough foundation would be, optimised body movement and the transmission of power with zero waste – these two come together and establish the “strongest sword in the world”.」

He spoke proudly, and cracked his neck.

(I see, come to think of it.)

Rose’s swordsmanship has zero wasted movement.

True to basics offense, defense, and evasion.

Precise body movements to a remarkable extent.

Her thoroughly optimized sword can generate “weight” that you can’t imagine from that slender body of hers.

「Well, these things are learned by doing. I’ll show you guys an example slowly. You should try to imitate that movement.」

Bacchus-san then reached for the sword that was fastened to his left hip and dropped his center of gravity slightly.

The next moment,

「Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style – Lightning Sakura!」

A thunder-clap like flash ran through the sky.

「「「「「…!?」」」」」

We were speechless witnessing the speed of the sword.

Amongst us,

「…As fast as ever.」

Only Rose, who knew Bacchus-san’s skill very well, muttered quietly.

(I saw it in yesterday’s fight, but it’s still incredibly fast.)

It’s definitely the fastest sword drawing I’ve ever seen.

(But, I see now… I have grasped the “principle of Lightning Sakura”!)

By holding the sheath horizontally, Bacchus-san reduced the gravitational resistance when the sword was drawn.

His arm bends almost like a whip, creating a fearsome acceleration in the sheath. Furthermore, by “snapping” his wrist, he adds a “final acceleration.”

(So this is the technique of a school, huh.)

Fearsomely precise body weight transfer and wasteless movement.

And the breathtaking ingenuity and technique to accomplish it.

That’s what makes that “godspeed sword drawing” possible.

(Amazing, it’s really amazing! If I apply this principle, the seventh sword “Instant Flash” will become much faster.)

As soon the training started, I acquired an incredibly vital “clue”. I clenched my fist tight as the fire in my heart burned brightly.
