"Pay attention to my movements,"
"Hold the sword with your pinkies, keep the other fingers relaxed, and make sure your wrist is straight because if it isn't, your sword strokes won't accurately hit the target, and you might even injure yourself."
"...Maintain a stable center of gravity, especially when changing moves, and don't expose your weaknesses."
"...Remember to use the strength of your body, not just your arms, when you strike…"
It was still dark when Abus got up to practice his swordsmanship. By the time Orwell arrived at the training ground, the boy was already drenched in sweat.
The Wandering Knight finished his warm-up and then picked up a wooden sword from the rack to spar with Abus for a while, correcting his posture and movements.
Afterward, Orwell began his own training, and when he felt tired, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, put away his sword, and looked over at Abus, who was still methodically practicing.
