The Villain's Story

[In the training center in the middle of the night.]

Two Teenagers, One with White hair and the other with black hair were dueling an old man that was the sword saint.

The boys, showed decent teamwork, one that was not too refined as if they had battled as a team for years, But showed unrefined teamwork, as if they had only done this for a few days.

The White-haired boy wielded a spear and attacked the sword saint with swift and perfect movements.

The sound of his spear thrusting through the air trying to reach his opponent would mesmerize someone along with his movements.

But Alas, His spear did not touch the sword saint, who was also dodging two kung-fu dual swords at the same time.

These two swords were possessed by the black-haired boy, who albeit didn't possess perfect movements, still wielded the sword quite well.

They both attacked the Sword Saint in turns.

However, when they realized this approach did not work, they shifted and the boy who wielded the spear used his speed to go around the Sword Saint.

The plan of the two was to corner the sword saint from the front and the back.

Their goal?

Land a single good hit on the sword saint.

That was it.

And they were also not allowed to use mana to reinforce their bodies.

This was the major factor that limited them.

Of course, the Sword Saint was also limiting his strength by quite a lot to give these two a chance.

Both of them started to attack the Sword Saint together.

The Sword Saint now was faced with two attackers, one from the front wielding dual swords and the other from the back wielding a spear.

They both rushed at him at the same time.

The Sword In response dashed toward Alex and immediately disarmed him by hitting both of his wrists with his palms.

He then turned towards the spear user And kicked the pure white spear blade with such force that it flew from the white-haired boy's hand and flew into the air.

"Hm?"

The sword saint muttered, Alex had jumped onto the back of the Sword Saint and held him in a lock, He had restricted both of the sword saint's arms.

And in front of the Sword Saint, Alan had prepared a punch.

The punch was coming closer, And it was then that the sword saint jumped backward.

No, To call it a jump back would be wrong.

The sword saint just fell, like he lost his balance and was about to fall and gut the ground.

The problem was that Alex was on the sword saint's back, and if the sword saint fell, he would be the one trapped.

Alex, However in response to this, didn't try to escape but only tightened the lock on the sword saint.

He was trying to give Alan as much of a chance to land his punch.

The legs of the sword saint were now in the air, And Alans Fist was a few centimeters away from The right foot of the sword saint.

'I don't care if it's your foot! a hit is a hit!'

'Hit it!'

These were the thoughts of both Alan and Alex respectively.

And then, Finally, The punch and the right foot of the sword saint connected.

And what happened was Alan saw the body of the sword saint and his left foot hitting his face.

And as a result, him being sent flying.

*Crash!*

He crashed into the wall of the training center.

The force behind that spinning kick was so strong that it sent him flying.

As for Alex? The moment the sword saint spun, he was flung off into the air and landed on his arse.

"Good, Good, The teamwork between you two is improving."

The sword saint said in a happy voice.

He was glad his two students could already be a somewhat good team.

"...What just happened?"

Alex questioned the sword saint, He didn't know how the sword saint managed to spin himself at that speed in mid-air.

"Simple, Although he doesn't look like it, Alan possesses monstrous strength even without enhancing his body with mana, So the punch had a lot of strength behind it.

I just used the force of Alan's punch to spin myself and to give myself enough momentum to land a good spinning kick."

The sword saint explained to Alex, who had a look of confusion on his face.

As if he was wondering 'That's possible?'

"How is that even possible?"

Another voice interjected between them, It belong to Alan who was walking over with a bloodied nose.

He had landed face first into the wall.

"Nothing is impossible, with enough training."

"I don't see how training makes that possible."

The sword saint Said and Alex responded this time.

"You both lack a foundation of Martial Arts, The arts which you all pride yourself over aren't everything, Most of them were derived from the Martial Arts humans had practiced.

The arts you possess today were made when these Martial Masters learned the usage of mana.

They sweated blood and tears to understand mana, went through countless trials, and developed these Arts through sheer effort and hard work, The greatest of these were developed on the battlefield.

To summarize it all so you can understand, You lack proper knowledge of different martial art forms and techniques."

The sword Saint explained.

"Yeah, But master we can't learn every art there is!"

"Who is telling you to learn every art? Although I would be happy if you decided to do it like me, All you young ones need is an experience!"

"Experience?" Alan questioned the sword saint again after Alex.

"Battle Experience! The more you are exposed to battles to death, Your mind will automatically program itself to analyze the opponent's weaknesses.

And slowly but surely, you will completely lose all your unnecessary movements by instinct!"

There was silence, Both of the two boys had looks of confusion on their faces.

They understood the part where being exposed to life and death situations would make you a better fighter, but where did learning various martial arts go into this?

"It is to improve your move set, Just imagine you are a sword user and you suddenly start to act like a grappler, Wouldnt your opponent not be surprised?"

The Sword saint answered the question they were about to ask like he had read their minds.

"Yeah sure, But isn't using the special movements of arts much more effective?"

Alex Questioned again, And in response the Sword Saint said.

"Yes, The special movements of arts are more effective but, These movements were derived from normal martial techniques.

Now think, What if you could use these movements and add mana to them without turning them into a proper art that has a skillset?

What if you were able to use these normal techniques and turn them into Deadly moves?

What if you could...theoretically program your mind and body to always prioritize the best way to beat your opponent?

To Subconsciously think of the best way to kill your opponent without any wasted movements."

The sword saint Spoke with slight excitement in his voice as if he was proud of something.

Turns out he was proud of himself because he had done this to himself when he went on a rampage in the continent of demons.

"Then why are we not using mana? I mean..."

Alan spoke but paused as he went deep into thought.

"...to develop our body better?"

He spoke As if he was questioning what he had just theorized.

The sword Saint smiled and said.

"The reason I'm forcing you two to not use mana is to awaken another power that lies dormant deep inside every living being."

'Dormant power?'

Alan and Alex thought, The former had somewhat of an idea of what this dormant power was while the latter was completely clueless.

'No no, that can't be, that can only be used by Orcs And beastkin...right?'

Alan questioned in his mind, According to the knowledge he had from the novel.

The only that was embedded deep inside every living being was something that the orcs and beastkin used, The former couldn't use mana and relied completely on that power while the beastkin, who had a poor affinity to mana also used it.

This power was...

And to answer the question head in his mind was the Sword Saint, whose hand was now glowing a bright green hue.

"It's to condition your bodies to feel Aura."

Both the faces of his students widened, Alex in disbelief, and alan In an even worse state.

Because to his knowledge, Only Orcs And beastkin could use Aura.

Every living being had it...But the only ones who could use it according to the novel were Orcs and Beastkin!

So how was the Sword Saint, who was human, enveloping his hand in aura?!
