Now that he had managed to break Raze's stick, Silva was not going to give him a moment to rest. He would press harder and land his hit. Silva charged in, going for a stab while observing the energy flow of Raze. Raze took a step back and was about to twist his body. Just like before, Silva was ready to move the same way and change the direction of the sword to a slash. But Raze did something that Silva was not expecting in the slightest. Raze's hands suddenly moved, slapping the side of the sword and pushing it in another direction. Silva had been too focused on making the best use of his split second and didn't notice the last energy flow that Raze used. Raze made a last-minute movement when he saw that Silva would react quickly to him dodging. The best way he could fight against Silva's reaction speed was to make last-second decisions and act on them without care for what might go wrong. "Your fighting style is indeed a very good one. You maximize your reaction time and use it to your advantage, making split-second decisions that throw your enemy off guard. To combat your style, I took a risky path that involves me making a move at the last moment, just before you react to my first motion. That means, when you reacted to me dodging and were about to swing your sword, I took the risk of blocking it with my palm. My hand moved forward just before your blade changed directions, and that allowed me to block. It is a crazy technique that requires a keen eye and higher speed than your enemy," Raze explained how he blocked the attack. "That's a lot of calculation going into blocking one move," Silva said and charged again. This time, he pushed his speed to the max and went for the legs with a slash. Raze leaped into the air and dodged the attack, but that was what Silva expected. Silva paused the flow of his sword, and then changed direction once more. Raze saw through this; it was not as effective as his former moves. Raze brought one leg down, Silva tried to lift his sword, but it hit the underside of Raze's foot and went back down. Raze landed on the sword that was on the ground and sent a kick at Silva. Silva had no other choice but to let go of the sword and block the attack. "These are quests that I have handpicked myself. I felt that they would match your level of skill and strength. You have to carry out all these quests in the next thirty days. I'll be there for you for the first three quests to show you the ropes of survival. After that, everything will be in your hands. If you succeed, I'll take it that you passed the first phase of your training," Raze explained. "I understand. I'll do my best to live up to your expectations," Silva assured. "Alright, so take your pick. What quest will you be taking?" Raze asked. Silva read through the quests that were on the table and landed on one that had to do with exterminating giant Slimes. In all honesty, Silva didn't need all this training and stuff. His legacy could make him grow as fast as possible. But Silva wanted a solid foundation. He wanted to ensure that he took his time to get what was needed and didn't rely solely on his legacy. He would train in the basics of the sword and other things, so that when added to the legacy, he would basically be an unstoppable monster with unlimited growth. ______ ______ Silva stood at the entrance of the forest with Raze behind him. Silva was holding a sword that Raze gave to him before they got here. According to the quest, there was a group of giant Slimes near the outskirts of the forest, and they had been trying to enter civilization. Silva had to head to their lair, or wherever they stayed, and deal with the Slimes. He entered the forest and started searching for a Slime. Finally, he found a giant Slime hopping through the bushes. It was as tall as a full-grown man, translucent blue, and jelly-like. Bobbing up and down as it went
