Villain Is on Vacation

52 Swordsmanship Breakthrough

"Even though I got freedom. However, living alone is boring you know.

Now I have to live by myself. So I also need money. As a heir candidate of Holmes Family, I have expertise in many fields. So I became a Streamer. " Rain answered.

After that many people got idea why he started streaming.

"Now, Support me wholeheartedly." Rain said with enthusiasm.

After that, Rain continued to live stream for 20-30 minutes. In this time, he played some online RPG games. Seeing his games skills audience were astonished. He was pro in games. He won every game easily.

"And Time for closing the Stream. Let's next meet after tomorrow at this time. Thanks for watching." Rain said goodbye and closed the live stream.

"Phew, that was great." Rain take a deep breath and leaned back on his chair.

However he was still thinking about that question.

"Maybe I should really think about that. Although now I have got the freedom. For what am I doing streams?" Rain mumbled.

"Now let's see some lectures and do Mana control training." Rain dismissed all thoughts and started training.

After some hours, Rain closed his eyes and slept soundly.

'Good night. Sweet dreams'

_________________________________________

Next day, Rain woke up early to continue his daily practice with the sword.

His dedication and consistency had paid off as he achieved a breakthrough in his Swordsmanship Mastery, reaching the Intermediate level.

As a result of his progress, he was now able to learn the sword arts.

Currently, Rain was practicing the Holmes Family's swordsman art.

Being a high-class family, the Holmes Family possessed a wealth of knowledge on the subject, with manuals available for each level of expertise.

Before getting previous life memories, Rain had already achieved Intermediate mastery in Swordsmanship. Therefore, he had access to all the manuals and was practicing according to their instructions.

However, after getting his previous life's memories and system, his mastery of Swordsmanship degraded.

The same thing happened with his Mana Control and Marksmanship. Because of that, Rain had to train from the scratch.

As of now, Rain was practicing the Holmes family's Sword Art according to the manual.

He stood on the grassy field, his eyes focused on the wooden sword in his hand.

He took a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill his lungs, and began to move his body in fluid, practiced movements.

As he did so, he carefully followed the instructions outlined in the Holmes Family's sword manual.

The first move was a basic cut, designed to test his form and balance. He raised his sword, feeling the weight of it in his hand, and then brought it down in a smooth, controlled arc.

The blade sliced through the air with a satisfying swish, and Rain nodded in approval.

The next move was a more complex maneuver, requiring precise footwork and quick reflexes.

Rain stepped forward, his body low to the ground, and then spun on his heel, sweeping the sword in a wide arc. The tip of the blade grazed the grass, leaving a faint trail in its wake.

As he continued through the manual, Rain practiced a variety of moves, from thrusts and parries to feints and flourishes. Each one required intense concentration and careful attention to detail, but he reveled in the challenge.

With each passing moment, he could feel himself getting stronger, more skilled, and more confident in his abilities.

By the time he finished practicing for the day, Rain was sweating and breathing heavily, his muscles aching with exertion. But he felt alive, invigorated by the rush of adrenaline and the thrill of the fight.

He knew that he still had a long way to go before he could truly call himself a master swordsman, but he was willing to put in the work. For Rain, the path to greatness was a journey worth taking.

At that time a message rang.

[Congratulations Host. Sword of Recognition (Holmes Family's sword art) acquired.]

Seeing the message Rain's lips slightly raised up.

It was already evening time, Rain left that area and came nearby to his house.

He didn't want to take any risk.

After that, he started practicing Shadow Sword art on the beach.

Rain stood on the sandy beach, the sound of the crashing waves providing a soothing background to his training.

He gripped his sword tightly, taking a deep breath to steady himself. With a flick of his wrist, he began to practice the Shadow Sword art.

He started with a basic move, slicing his sword through the air in a swift and precise motion. He repeated the move several times, each time focusing on his form and technique.

Then he moved on to more advanced moves, incorporating twists and turns to keep his opponent guessing.

As Rain continued to practice, he became more and more fluid in his movements. His sword seemed to dance through the air, leaving a trail of shadow in its wake. He was completely immersed in his training, his mind focused solely on the art of the sword.

The sun began to set on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the beach. Rain was exhausted but exhilarated, his body and mind both pushed to their limits. As Rain was practicing he tried to incorporate 'Shadow walk' as footwork of the 'Shadow sword art'.

He took a deep breath, then took a step forward and disappeared into the shadows. It was a technique he had learned from the skill manual he got from bandits hideout, allowing him to move swiftly and silently, undetected by his opponent. He reappeared a few steps away, then disappeared again, the sand shifting beneath his feet as he moved.

Rain continued to practice, the sound of the waves and the wind his only company. With each step, he became more confident in his use of the Shadow Walk.

He was able to move faster and more fluidly, his sword arm never faltering as he disappeared and reappeared in a blur of motion.

Sun had already set. However, Rain still wanted to train.

He gripped his sword and used 'Shadow walk' and 'Shadow sword art' simultaneously. The nearby boulder was scratched to a great degree. In a moment, Rain appeared somewhere else.

[Congratulations Host. Shadow sword art acquired.]

[You have successfully learned some of the true essences of the Shadow Sword style. A Grand feat for an intermediate swordsman.]

[Reward: Original manual of Shadow Sword Style, 200 pts]

Rain widened his eyes. He couldn't believe what happened. Did he get sword style manual?

Still he couldn't learn it due to his low proficiency. He has to become a proficient swordsman. He just stored the manual in a space ring after taking a glance at it.

Rain gathered his strength and started walking towards his home.

It was nighttime now. He was tired and hungry. Still, he was feeling good as he was getting stronger.
