Reversal

"But I don't know all the basic stances... hopefully I know the swinging, stabbing and slashing..." Pursing his lips, Christian buried the sword in the ground and walked back to his house, then picked up his cell phone and walked back to the courtyard.

"Let's go..." Unlocking the cell phone, Christian entered Google and typed in "Basic sword moves, wait... what kind of sword is this?"

Staring at his sword, Christian muttered "This should be about three feet long... a long sword?"

"Basic long sword movements."

Entering the pictures section, Christian took a look at them one by one, especially the pictures where only drawings of women with swords and different postures were shown.

[A/N: These drawings can be found in Google, I'll leave some examples here].

"Interesting... this doesn't seem to be made for long swords but it will serve to get the muscles used to it..."

For Christian, who can learn any kind of fight or movement just by seeing it once, learning the movements in the pictures is not difficult at all.

But if there is one thing that limits him and he knows it perfectly well, it is that the muscles need habit in order to be able to perform the movements fluidly.

Without fluidity, he would be no different than a mediocre person who just imitates the movements.

No.

He needs to take the techniques, adapt them to his body and make them his own.

That's what Dmitri's training was based on, and it's something that will accompany Christian throughout his life.

Not for nothing was he practicing every martial art he knows for almost 2 weeks, all to master each one.

Whether it's boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Karate or whatever, he must master it to the point where using it is no different than breathing for him.

Of course, if another person tries to master every technique he sees, he would be no different than a fool.

A single martial art like boxing could take a lifetime to learn and master.

Even very talented people would take months to master it completely.

There is a limit to talent and generally a human body can only take so many moves without some side effect.

But here we are with a man out of the norm, a body that can adapt perfectly to any known martial art and make it his own without much trouble.

"Mn?" Looking at the series of 62 movements in one image, Christian raised his eyebrows with interest and went to the source page, then looked at the different titles and murmured "Interesting.... Taiji Jian, a series of movements to practice with the sword... its movements are very flowery and its killer attacks are not few, but these postures are more focused on fluidity and muscle training... it is also quite useful to defend... I am not surprised that it is a branch of Tai Chi."

[A/N: This martial art also exists, there are several pages and videos on YouTube where they are taught].

Browsing through the page for about 30 minutes while reading each indication, then exiting the page and continuing to search while muttering "We'll do that as a warm up... let's see some killer moves."

Surfing the internet for another 15 minutes, Christian raised his eyebrows again and opened a youtube video, then watched for 10 minutes a video with a Chinese title and traditional music playing in the background.

"This is..." Finishing watching the video, Christian smiled broadly and muttered "This technique has killer moves... not bad, not bad at all.... Wudang technique..."

[A/N: This Wudang technique is also real, I was watching several videos about this and it's doesn't look like a bad technique]

"Heh, I feel excited somehow" After browsing for another 30 minutes watching videos and looking for pictures of the moves, Christian put the cell phone aside and picked up his sword, then took off his shoes and did little hops on the grass.

With a smile on his face, Christian took a deep breath and closed his eyes, then began to move slowly following Taiji Jian's movements.

And as always, without noticing the beginning, Christian entered into his absolute concentration, totally losing focus of the outside world as he danced to Taiji Jian's rhythm.

The hours passed and the embracing sun was already dipping below the horizon. Sweat was running down Christian's forehead while his baggy t-shirt was already soaked. Christian's muscles worked at their peak and his feet never stopped in all these hours, repeating over and over again the same movements without any rest.

But although he never stopped, each new repetition had slight differences from the previous one, something that only an experienced eye could manage to dazzle.

With each new start, the technique became more and more perfect, the awkward movements were left behind and the posture became more and more polished. At some point the speed of the movements increased, and the fluidity was taking over at a frightening pace.

Sitting a few feet away, Elisa carried Helen in her arms and watched Christian's dance with intoxicated eyes.

Biting her lips, Elisa's eyes became erratic, looking between the marked muscles visualized thanks to the sweat on the T-shirt, and into the sweaty but smiling face of her beloved.

"Mom..." Looking up, Helen blinked tenderly and pointed at Christian "Dad?"

Startled awake from her stupor, Elisa blushed slightly and lowered her head, then smiled brightly and stroked his head "Yes sweetheart, Daddy is very handsome."

"Daddy..." Looking up at her father, Helen took the hands wrapped around her and pulled herself free, then struggled to her feet and started walking towards Christian.

"Now daddy is busy sweetie, he'll play with you later" Quickly taking Helen's small body in her arms, Elisa sat her back down and clung to her.

"..." Looking down at the hands holding her, Helen looked up and watched Elisa silently, and although her face showed no emotion, Christian would easily know that his little girl was angry.

"Daddy!" Raising her arms, Helen raised her voice for the first time in her life.

"..." Blinking in a daze, Christian suddenly stopped his movements and stood up properly, then thrust the sword into the ground and turned his head towards the source of the noise.

"*Sigh*" Rubbing her forehead as she sighs, Elisa let go of Helen and let her get up, watching helplessly as the girl runs staggering towards Christian.

Smiling softly, Christian walks over to Helen and opens his arms for her, then welcoming her into his embrace and carrying her "What's wrong my little girl?"

"Daddy" Squeezing her head into Christian's chest, Helen rubs her cheek gently as she murmurs.

"Honey, I'm sweaty" Lifting Helen up, Christian smiles softly and kisses her other cheek "Daddy will get you dirty if you do that."

"Daddy..." Stretching her arms toward Christian, Helen murmurs.

"*Sigh*" Fine, but then we'll take a bath" Sighing with resignation, Christian brought Helen back into his embrace and turned his gaze to his red-haired darling who looks up at him with a small smile from a distance "How long have you been here?"

"About 15 minutes ago" Getting up from the floor, Elisa pats her bottom to wipe her clothes and walks towards Christian, then approaches him from behind and sniffs his neck deeply with a blushing face "As always you smell exquisite~"

Chuckling, Christian pulled Helen away from him and handed her to Elisa "Hold her a little, I feel uncomfortable with my clothes clinging to my body."

"Mn."

Grabbing the bottom edges of his t-shirt, Christian lifted it up and dried his face, then lifted it further and removed the damp t-shirt.

Pulling it into a ball, Christian quickly dries his hair and tosses the t-shirt aside, then turns to Elisa and takes his baby girl back into his arms "Ready."

"C-christian!" Quickly hugging Christian's naked torso, Elisa looked all around and looked at him with a blushing face "W-we're outside, they can see you!"

"It's okay, security is covering the boundary areas of the grounds, no one but you can see me here" Kissing Elisa's head, Christian grabbed her waist with his free hand and lay down on the ground, forcing her to curl up next to him.

Holding Helen to his chest and his Elisa hugging him, Christian closed his eyes and murmured, "Nothing better than this peace after exercise."

"As a strategy before the new plan, we bought 2 audiovisual companies specialized in special effects" Pointing a cane, a woman of about 35 years of age spoke seriously, staring at each person at the long table in front of her.

"Do they have the skills for what we want?" looking at the chart casually, Eva rested her chin on her fist and asked.

"Yes boss. These companies are quite influential within Hollywood thanks to their good jobs, but despite that, they weren't doing very well thanks to their large costs."

Nodding silently, Eva looked at the 12 different folders on the table and thought 'Movies and series written by my boy... they should do well.'

Picking up one of the folders, Eva read the title and thought 'Sex education.... what a catchy name'

"Meeting ends for now, we'll continue this tomorrow".

"Yes boss."

Ignoring all the gestures of basic courtesy, Eva looked at the folders and murmured, "Starting to produce more elaborate films is going to be complicated.... Netflix so far has only been about having low budget movies and trying to have quantity instead of quality... but if all goes well, we'll turn the Hollywood board upside down."

"Starbucks already has over 35,000 coffee shops in over 80 countries, everything is working great.... Twitch is growing slowly, but with a firm base, according to Christian we will have an exponential increase during 2020 and 2021..."

"Instagram is already solid, it's impossible for us to fall like facebook for at least another 20 years... builders are doing great, properties are selling well, investments are not going bad and the new business in Russia is doing great.... everything is going well" Muttering to herself while remembering everything they invest in, Eva gently tapped the table with her fingers and continued "Although the investments in the medical companies are not going well.... Christian told me we had to invest quite a bit... when we invested, the people who watch our investments followed us, everything went up quickly but it only lasted a few weeks... the market is down."

"At this point anyone would start selling since everything is going downhill, but..." Pulling out her cell phone, Eva looks for the contact of the stock manager and mumbles as she types "Let's give another 200 million to invest".

Finishing sending the approval, Eva sighed and put the cell phone aside, then leaned on the table and spoke "Leslie, you knew Christian had a gun when he was a kid?"

"..." Standing firmly behind Eva, Leslie nodded "Yes."

Pursing her lips, Eva drew circles on the table with her finger and murmured "I guess there's a limit to what a son tells his mother..."

"It's not that he didn't want to tell you, he just didn't want to worry you" Shaking her head, Leslie continued "That gun he found with the woman who died outside their house, he kept it because he thought it would protect them"

"Protect us..." Smiling bitterly, Eva looked up at the ceiling in silence for a few seconds, then sighed and stood up "I guess I haven't worked hard enough yet, we need to keep growing. Let's go."
