After finishing practicing several sword techniques, he sat under a tree with a gentle breeze, but he looked upset because he couldn't master the sword techniques he had just practiced.
"Arrgghhh!!,,,, why i can only master a few sword techniques,,,, hufftt,,,, even though i have been practicing for months and i'm very serious about it,,,, but why....?".
While sitting, he thought hard about how he could master the sword techniques he had not yet mastered and how he could improve his fighting style, until he got a crazy idea that children his age would never think of.
"Hmm.... what if i wander?,,,, but will mom let me?,,, hmm.... but there's no harm in trying to convince her".
Because he had finished practicing several sword techniques, even though he had not yet fully mastered them, he decided to return home because it was already dark.
"How was your training today, Dalvin?,,,, have you mastered the sword techniques in the book your father gave you?,, huhh?".
It turned out, his father was also a swordsman, but still a beginner, even though he was still a beginner, he had a book containing extraordinary sword techniques. His father found the book while passing through the forest, but he never practiced it because he thought that the sword techniques he had learned himself were more than enough, so he gave the book to him.
"Not yet, mom,,,, every time i practice the sword techniques father taught me, i can't master them,,, and there are only a few that i have mastered, even though i've been practicing for months,,, huffftt,,,".
"It's okay,,,, not everything has to be instant, right? there are also things that require hard work to achieve, such as your dream of becoming a great swordsman,,,,, it's not something that happens instantly, you need to train hard and have a strong determination that never fades within you".
"You're right,,,, Mom".
While they were having dinner, he wanted to tell his mother that he wanted to went wandered, but he hesitated because he was afraid his mother would not allow it. After gathering his courage for a while, he finally said it.
"Mom,,,,, i,,, i want to go wander....".
When he said that, the atmosphere felt so quiet that only the gentle breeze and the sounds of the night could be heard.
"Give me the reason".
"....".
"Dalvin,,, everything happens for a reason, so why do you want to wander?".
"I think,,,, that if i keep practicing and memorizing every movement and sword technique, it will be useless, but if i go wandering, then maybe it will be useful on my journey".
"Ouhh i see, when are you leaving?".
"Tomorrow morning, mom".
"Then go to sleep and i'll get your things ready, but remember, don't trust anyone on the street, if you ever have friends but they leave you, don't be afraid, but be afraid if you lose yourself".
The next morning, Dalvin set off on his journey.
While wandering aimlessly through the forest, he heard several people fighting. When he went to investigate, he saw an old man fighting against several bandits.
"Clash,,, clash,,, swish,,, clash,,, thud,,,".
"Surrender, old man we won't kill you if you give us everything you have".
"Hahahaha, you won't be able to fight us with injuries like that".
"Whatever comes out of your filthy mouths, i will not give you anything i have".
Because Dalvin saw that the old man was completely cornered and it was impossible for him to fight back, Dalvin decided to help him.
"Damn it!!! you stupid old man!!".
"Hyahhh!!!,,, whistling,,,, who are you, huhhh?,,,, scrape,,,, clash,,,".
"Me?,,, clash,,, scrape,,, hahahaha, people like you don't deserve to know me".
"It seems like you need a lot of people to defeat me because if there are only three people, it's like stepping on an ant".
"Attack!!!".
"Hyahh!!!".
"Argghhhh".
"Swish,,, clash,,, clash,,, thud,,, slice,,, shing,,, shing,,, cing,,,".
"I already told you, defeating you is no more difficult than defeating ants,,,, ahhhh".
He managed to defeat the robbers and also saved the old man, the old man was very impressed with his sword technique. The old man had never seen such a technique before, but he also suffered many injuries and lost a lot of blood, finally he also fainted.
The old man took him to his house and cared for him for several days. After a few days, he regained consciousness.
"Uhhh,,, where am i and who are you?".
"Finally, you remember that I am the person you helped when we were surrounded by bandits, i am very grateful to you".
"Gladly".
"I am very impressed with your sword technique. Where did you learn it?".
"Huffftt,,, before my father passed away, he gave me a book containing sword techniques, and i always studied it, here is the book".
"What? isn't that the book about the kingdom's great techniques that was once lost?".
"What are you talking about?".
"Nothing".
It turned out that the book his father gave him contained extraordinary sword techniques written by the greatest swordsman in the world, the swordsman came from a kingdom, but the book was stolen and lost at that time, many people were still searching for it, although there were also many who believed that the book had disappeared.
"I'm sorry, but i can't stay long. I have to go".
"Where do you want to go?".
"I don't know,,, i am wanderer".
"Take this map and go to the city in the west, there you will find a lot of important and unimportant information and remember, don't let anyone see the book you're carrying, if someone sees it and wants to buy it at a very high price, don't sell it because it will be very helpful to you.".
After resting for quite a while, and feeling that his condition had begun to improve, he decided to continue his journey. He also obtained a map from the old man, which made it easier for him to reach his destination.
During the journey to the western city, he kept wondering what kind of book his father had given him, the book seemed very valuable, even though he thought it looked like an ordinary book on sword techniques.
