Takeshi Haruka POV:
Location:TradeheavenvillageGareth Ironstride Guild-
I was at the gulid board looking for (A) job requests either monster or bandits. I didn't find any note worthy until my eyes landed on a monster job request.
Job requests-
1.) A big group of Oxnoids (around 20) about 9 kilometers West from here, Rank of quest is (A) reward price-(85,000 jewels)(Ongoing)
I picked up the job request.
I made my way over to the guild manager to approve of the job request.
"Very well."
•stamp
Now then time to head towards the location.
10 minutes later-
I arrived near the location of the Oxnoids hideout, I sensed twenty life signatures.
I moved towards the direction I could sense five presence.
I placed my hand on my sword, as I continued walking towards the five Oxnoids.
Hmmm what should I name it?
How about: Gyuunenno Tsurugi (Bull'sYearningSword).
Now then to test out the potential abilities a may have, I'm expecting something with physical abilities or absolute Damage.
I made my presence known since I didn't even try to hide it. I then unsheathed my sword from my halter.
•schwing
•glint
One Oxnoid approach me with a sword I clashed with them
Or at least tried.
•snap
I cut right through the Oxnoid sword, like a hot knife through butter.
•slice
Not only the sword was cut with absolute ease, but the Oxnoid was cut diagonally.
• swish
Not only that , but it seems my physical strength and a Shock force was released from me swinging.
One Oxnoid dead , nineteen more to go.
I moved towards Oxnoids one and two , who both charged at me with their horns, however.
•swing
•slice
Not only did I cut right through their horns ,but also their heads.
Three down for the count seventeen more.
I moved towards Oxnoids four and five, I swiftly got behind them, then delivered a horizontal slice.
•slice
•thud
Fifteen Oxnoids left.
Ten oxnoids appeared and all of them surrendered me.
Since my sword has some sort of physical boost effect, maybe I could swing with more force a wave of shock or slash will happen.
•swing
As I swing my Gyuunenno Tsurugi (Bull'sYearningSword). I then witness a wave of shock slash from.
Four Oxnoids took some damage, well six of the Oxnoids looked in shock.
I then manipulated my mana into pure speed, I moved so fast that Oxnoids could not keep up with my movements.
•slice
•swish
•pierce
•slice
They were twenty , now only five more left to go.
I was making my way towards the last five remaining Oxnoids, they each were 9 feet tall.
So instead of manipulating my mana into speed, I switched to all agility.
I then jumped into the air then slice right through two Oxnoids.
•slice
•slice
Next up was me going straight for the last three Oxnoids legs and cutting them off.
•slice
•gush
One Oxnoid down to their knees, I then decapitated one Oxnoid.
•slice
•thud
Now two more Oxnoids left, one Oxnoid came at me with their fist coded in physical mana enhancement I then made a vertical slash towards the fist.
•slice
The Oxnoid arm was split open apart, I then stabbed them right in the heart.
•stab
Now one Oxnoid left standing.
They tried running away, I chased after them cautiously, they ran and ran until a cave wall blocked their path.
I then did two horizontal and two vertical attacks ,releasing shock waves hitting all of them point blank.
•crash
The shock waves were so powerful that they launched the Oxnoid straight into the cave wall.
I then walked towards the fallen Oxnoid, I then reversed grip my sword, then pierced them in the heart.
•pierce
Well.
That makes twenty Oxnoids dead, now time to collect all the body parts.
6 minutes later-
I was just about finished with picking up all the twenty Oxnoids body parts, however one Oxnoid body is being taken from.
I then noticed six different individuals, I immediately grabbed my BHA Scaning Lacrima to see if they were bandits.
And would you look at that all six of them are bandits with (C+) rank luck Me.
Bandit (1.): "Hey kid hand over all of your stuff including that awesome sword."
I then send two slashes with one hand while holding the Lacrima which ending up releasing shockwaves that send four bandits crash into a tree.
Four bandits down for the count, with the same Lacrima in hand I signaled the BHA to send a pickup team.
One bandit rushed towards me with a battle axe , I then used my sword to block the incoming attack, but my sword was to strong that it ended up completely destroyer the battle axe from the sharp edge all the way to the handle.
•crumple
"W..What!"
Bandit who had the battle axe said shockingly, but it didn't last long because I then used a reverse hand griped my sword and used the handle to whack the head of the bandit.
Then the last bandit charged at me with their sword, I did the same thing I blocked the incoming attack with my sword, but the bandit's sword shattered from the impact of my sword.
•shatter
I then punched the bandit in the face knocking them unconscious. I then went over towards the last dead Oxnoid body, then stored it in my ShadowStorage.
I then looked at my sword and noticed the value of it-

Rank-(A+)
Abilities: Shock blast from impact, Shock waves from swinging, Physical Damage boosts, Physical Endurance boosts, Weapon durability.

Welp time to wait for the BHA to arrive.
5 minutes later-
I the BHA arrived , they made a quick scan, then gave me a bounty ticket exchange while also marking them with alive bonus.
Now then time to head back towards Tradeheavenvillage. I placed my right hand on the ground then focused on the Leaping seal that was near Tradeheavenvillage.
(Leaping-Type of magic -Spatial Translocation(teleporting)

Now then off to the blacksmith workshop.
Location:Swordsmanblacksmith-
I went inside the blacksmith shop, I looked over at the types of tools, there a tool that looked useful.
I then pulled out all of the body armor of the Oxnoids all twenty of them.
"Wow! That's quite the body parts, hmm. How many Oxnoids did you slay?"
The blacksmith shopkeeper asked.
"20 of them."
"2..20 that's a lot of Oxnoids. Will you did damage about 30-40% of the carcass"
I'll give you 100,250 jewels for them."
The blacksmith shopkeeper then
"Deal."

I then went over and picked up the tool that I think will be useful, it was a grappling hook.
"How much is this?"
I asked as I held it in my hand.
"This grappling hook is worth 120,500 jewels, it's a grappling hook that's able to change its hook to different types of forms, like a fishing hook or an extra metal hand that could be launch."
Takeshi wallet-(1,659,567 jewels)
Now then since it's almost afternoon, I think I'll find a perfect place to watch the snow fall.
3 hours later-
It was mid afternoon and snow was pouring down, that means spirit Rhyllia is now resting.
Now then time to go back towards the Inn and rent another day.
I was walking towards the location of the Inn however a building caught my eyes.
Kensei(Sword Saint)Hall-
I walked up to the building front door,I reached out to the front door handle then entered the building.
•creak
I entered Kensei(Sword Saint)Hall- I noticed some familiar faces from the Gareth Ironstride Guild- whenever I go there.
I noticed a small group of people who where wearing special clothing that made them stand out, while others were wearing some type of uniform.
I walked up to the register.
"Hello! Welcome to Kensei(Sword Saint)Hall, are you a student here or just checking it out."
The person in the front register said.
"I'm just checking it out."
I replied to the person at the register.
"Okay a 500 jewels fee will be needed."
Couldn't it been free?
"Very well then."
I say as I hand over 500 jewels
Takeshi wallet-(1,659,067jewels)
I fully entered the building and made my way over to two people sparing with wooden swords.
I see so this place for training in swordsmanship.
20 minutes later-
It's been 20 minutes since I got here and have been watching spar after spar.
I then was met by a group of young people not much older than me.
"Hey let's spar and if I win you give me your sword."
The teenager grinned at me as if he already decided he was going to win.
"The six of you wouldn't stand a chance against me."
I said.
"Watch it newbie!"
The same young teenager said.
"Very well let's spar then."
———
Random teenager POV:
This is going to be so easy, I'll be taking that awesome sword.
"Ready!"
A reference asked.
"Ready!
"Ready!"
We both announced.
I can't wait for my name sword what should I name it.
"Begin!"
W…Why am I falling, the kid hasn't even moved.
S…So W…Why am I on the floor.
My eyes are closi…
Takeshi Haruka POV:
Well that was easy.
I moved towards a what I'm assuming is a master swordsman. They looked about 50 something years old, they had boots, sideburns, beard, moustache,belt, fingerless gloves.
I don't know how strong he is, but their mana output is similar to Dril sergeant Haruki.
"Spar with me."
I asked , however the entire dojo went silent as I asked for the spar.
"Does that kid got a death wish!"
"Is this kid crazy!"
"S shush he can hear you."
I ignored the constant comments, but locked eyes with this swords master.
"You are one brave kid or just some nut job."
Hmm this demeanor reminds me a lot like Dril sergeant Haruki.
(Authornote:recall chapter15.)
"Fine I'll spar kid."
The sword master said.
"The name is Takeshi!"
I announced my name.
"My name is Hiro The "Swiftblade"
