Chapter 59 : Result of a short training and a surprise

Embra P.O.V

What is luck? Can it be eaten?

I have always assumed that luck is a matter of skill and that anyone can train but, today, I learned that it really is something outside of understanding.

I mean, come on. I got five of my needs fulfilled by four goddesses and a Valkyrie. Five of my needs. Damn.

I could understand the three wishes I got when I was reincarnated. They are gifts by Goddess Lashili who turned my Karma point into power. But, this time, there is no karma point involved. They gave me those gifts out of their own goodwill.

Well, I am still doubting the 'goodwill' of Goddess Lashili but, I cannot do anything in my current state. The other party is the creator goddess. I don't know how powerful is she but, she is just one step away from Genesis level gods who are the most powerful gods or gods among gods or so the knowledge from God Brahma says.

Currently, those creator gods and genesis gods are outside of my ... my everything but, for now, I will do what I want to the best of my ability.

Earlier, in the fight with goddess Algadore, I felt like I am going to touch something. Um. How to say. I felt like I am going to break through something. That is why I asked for a ten-day training.

So, to gain that insight, I told Sethar to stay defensive for the fights. I am not worried about her being injured because she is a Valkyrie with a power level of hundred of millions. My attacks won't injure her no matter what anyway. Sethar agreed to my request without complaining and she seems like she is looking forward to something I said I will gain. I don't know whether I will surpass or meet her expectation but, well, I will do whatever I want.

Starting from the moment the two creator goddesses departed, I and Sethar started training. For five days, my schedule was fighting until exhaustion and resting till I recover. That's it. I would talk with the three girls during my rest time and I felt that it would not pass my days like this till I become a god. Well, that's impossible anyway. So, I discard my stupid and useless thoughts to focus on the insight.

During the fights with Sethar, I tested my theory and only focus on the swing of my sword.

The concepts of win or loss, using the tactic, using other weapons or even the fight itself. I try to forget about them and focus only on swinging my sword. Days by days, I wing, swing, and swing my swords countless times at Sethar who only stay defenseless. First, I could not discard the concept of tactic. I am used to this after all. SO, for the first five days, I have to try discarding the ability to 'Think' during the fights.

I don't know it was because of my ability to control my thoughts and emotions or whatnot but, I succeeded in doing that after five days. Sethar said I look like a possessed man when I successfully discarded the concept of thinking for the first time.

Keinnayi shows me the video and really, I look like a zombie or something when I discarded the concept of thinking. That day when I first discarded the concept of thinking, Keinnayi has to intervene in the fight and make me unconscious to stop.

That day, she scolded me for hours and even told me to find another way of approach. I could not deny her when her eyes show how much she is worried about me. And so, not to worry my beloved wife, I begin to think of another approach. If I cannot focus only on 'Sword', what else could I focus on if I want to attain insight in the way of the sword. I meditated for a bit to calm my mind and while I am recalling the past memories, I found an answer.

Looking at the memories of the time when my only focus is to see through the attack patterns of Eve, I got an idea.

That's right. Swinging my sword for victory. I am not fond of thinking two concepts but, well, I don't have any choice. So, starting from the day sixth day, I train with Sethar normally. 'Normally' means, we fight while she is sealing her power.

She may have sealed her power but, her power level is half a million. So, she is still holding back quite a lot. But, during our fights from there on, I focus on attaining victory against her using only a sword. Using nothing else but one sword.

No kicks or punches, just swordsmanship. Of course, I still use footwork techniques alongside my two haki s. And, after fighting for who knows how many fights, I grab a whole of something. I called it, 'the concept of cutting'.

Yes, the name is not something cool but, I literally attain a concept as it name means. I test my concept against various materials Keinnayi prepared and the result? I can cut through a block of iron like a sheet of paper now.

If I will to 'cut', it will be cut. Just like the essence of my swordsmanship, I gained an insight into more of my swordsmanship and I took a new step in the way of the sword. Now, my status looks like this.

<

Name: Sky Embra

Age: 15 years old

Power level: 1670

Gifts: Tsukuyomi Genjutsu Modified, Darkness(Locked), Photographic memory (Inferior), divine protection from the goddess of Dragon Algadore, Eye of Analysis, Soul Eyes

Talent: Calculating ability, Sword

Technique learned

-Swordsmanship (Expert) -> (Specialist)

>

Yep, I reached the 'Specialist' level that took two decades for ordinary 'Expert' level swordsmen to reach. Keinnayi said that even genius would still take five years to reach the 'Specialist' level from the 'Expert' level. Talent, that is also one of the concepts I do not understand including 'Luck'. However, Keinnayi said that I have the talent for sword since I am reborn.

Well, that aside, I gained something precious from this ten-day training and I also grab a hold of something that felt to me like a fleeting cloud. So, it was all gains for me. And, right now, Keinnayi is contacting Goddess Gaia while we three are sitting on the couches Keinnayi brought out. Soon, Keinnayi who is sitting in a lotus position opens her eyes and there is a certain happiness in her eyes.

"Rejoice Embra. It seems the trial for the old god has not even started yet because of something urgent in heaven court. Great Aunt said that it would take roughly a hundred days before the old god is put on trial. So, she said that we can do whatever we want in here. *smile* Aren't you glad?" (Keinnayi)

Nani! Another hundred days in here? Yosh. Let's ask for more training. I want to use these hundred days to the best of my ability. So, I ask the three girls to help me train, and unexpectedly, the first one to agree immediately as soon as my words end is Algadore. It seems she has been wanting another bout with me after watching me and Sethar fights.

Of course, I don't say 'No' to her and after changing our bodies with the bodies Goddess Lashili created, we started our battles. There is no problem, fighting in these 'created' bodies till the death because even if we die, it is the 'created' bodies that got destroyed. And, Keinnayi can repair them. So, our battles continue till one of us drops dead.

My days in this separate dimension become more fun and fruitful after Goddess Algadore started to train with me. There were days when Sethar also fights me in the 'created' body. Soon, Sethar and Algadore started to train together with me. And, it seems seeing us having fun make Keinnayi a little bit Jelly because she asked for more 'created' bodies from Goddess Lashili.

So, the three of them begin to train with me. I could not ask for more. I could not be luckier. Because my fighting experience is getting richer each day and my swordsmanship is improving with each fight. As usual, when fighting the three of them, I only focused on 'Fighting for victory with one sword' without using any kind of hidden weapon.

Goddess Algadore uses her claws and fists, Sethar uses her rapier, and Keinnayi use a spear while I only use a sword. Of course, from time to time, they also requested me to go all out and in those times, I use 'Moonless Dance' and fights with all I have.

And, if we are not fighting, we were either watching anime or talk about some random things. There were various topics we discussed and we got to know each other little by little. There was one time I asked for the last volume of 'One Piece' manga from Keinnayi.

Yes. It is true that I bow to no one. It is also true that I am prideful but, that one day, I discarded everything and just begged Keinnayi by hugging her hand to give me the manga. Even Sethar who usually has a stoic face laughs at me, not to tell Algadore who is rolling on the floor while holding her stomach. They are laughing at me but, I don't care.

Age and identity are meaningless in front of the good manga. Of course, pride and other stuff too are meaningless in front of the last volume of 'One Pi*ce' too. I waited five years for this book. I was even decided to live till 2025 in this world just to read the last volume of that manga. Hmph. DOn't understand the desire of a hardcore fan of 'One Pi*ce'.

Right, now that I think about it, why didn't I wished to reincarnate in the 'OP' world. *ugh* I was stupid. But, well, after begging all days while using every excuse I can think of, I finally get the last volume.

Let's not mention that, I gain a new level in 'CQC' and 'Bushouku Haki' after reading that last OP volume. Also, let's also not mention the fact that I feel no block of iron weighing my mind after reading that book.

Yep. Anyway, the 100 days passed in the blink of an eye and now, Keinnayi gets the news that Goddess Gaia is coming back. So, we are awaiting the return of Goddess Gaia, Goddess Lashili, and the old god.
