Another World Mall-Chapter 571: SSS-Ranked Sword Master

"Huu… So, this is the movie theater? The same as I imagined." Clovis looked around while taking his seat. "I wonder what kind of surprise it will bring this time."

Clovis relaxed his body for a bit as the movie was about to begin.

The screen was gradually lighting up. To his surprise, instead of the beginning of the movie, his vision suddenly turned dark.

"Huh? What’s going on?" Clovis was confused.

The next thing he realized, he could open his eyes again, but for some reason, the scenery had changed.

He raised his head and saw buildings burning. It looked like the wall was made of wood and the roof was made of straw.

’Now that I think about it, the movie is about a boy called Ethan. His village was destroyed by the Creature of Darkness.’ Clovis wanted to look around to assess the situation before helping the people.

He noticed that he was gripping a sword, but the sword was extremely heavy, especially for the character.

Clovis wanted to say something, but the mouth refused to budge. He tried to lift up his sword, but the hand didn’t move.

’Wait a minute. The character is moving on its own.’

"No. You vile creatures!" The character shouted while glaring at a slime-like creature made from black liquid.

’It also speaks on its own.’

"Aaaahhh!" The character charged forward, dragging the sword.

However, the weight of the sword ended up slowing him down. When he reached the creature, the latter had actually extended a part of its body like a tentacle and punched him.

"Gah!" He spat a mouthful of blood. Clovis couldn’t help but grit his teeth, feeling the pain as well. ’This is so real. I really enter the movie and can only observe everything.’

He wanted to get up, but the enemy had reached him first. It was there a woman suddenly appeared in front of him.

She swung her sword, cutting the creature easily.

He looked shocked. Before he realized it, other creatures that attacked his village had been annihilated by the same person.

"Are you alr—!" The woman turned around, wanting to check on him. However, she noticed the sword in his hand. "Kid… Where do you get that sword?"

He hesitated for a second before saying, "My house."

It was her turn to get surprised. She couldn’t help but ask, "What is your name?"

"Ethan. Ethan Skyblade."

The woman completely didn’t expect it.

However, before he could say anything, the vision turned dark as a flash of memory appeared in Clovis’ head. In that memory, they cleaned up the enemies and put down the fire.

They buried the people who died because of the incident.

When the scenery changed, both of them were standing on top of a hill, looking at the two graves.

"Father, Mother… Sob…" He was crying. "I’m sorry that I can’t protect the village."

The woman had a pained expression. "You can’t protect anyone if you are weak. Come with me, Ethan. I will teach you how to become stronger. I know your father… Maybe this is fate as well."

"Mhmm…"

"I am Elia Hackerblade."

Clovis dropped his jaw to the ground. ’What the hell is this script? I mean, I can understand that she wants to bring him because of that sword. But it seems the sword is special. That means his father was supposed to be strong. Why did he die? Definitely not because of those creatures. And why would you suddenly go with the person who claimed to know your father? You didn’t even know whether it was true or not.’

Clovis simply couldn’t believe it.

And for some reason, she was a good person.

She actually brought him to a hut on a hilltop.

Both of them were standing in front of each other.

"I will teach you two ways of wielding a sword. Soft Sword and Heavy Sword." She pointed to the tree. "Try to cut this tree with your sword. Swing with all your might."

He was confused, but he still walked toward the tree and swung with all his strength. It was a weak swing, but for some reason, he cut it as if it was butter.

The tree suddenly fell to the ground with a clean cut, shocking Ethan. "This is…"

Elia then smacked the tree next to her. "In that case, try to catch the tree’s leaf with the tip of your sword, but without damaging it."

"Huh?" Ethan was confused. He saw the falling leaves and tried to pick up one of them, but the sword was simply too sharp that it sliced the leaf without him swinging his blade. "It’s impossible."

Elia shook her head. She stretched her hand and said, "Let me show you."

He gave her the sword.

"A Soft Sword is a swordplay that allows you to deal with everything with a soft impact. When you master it, even with the sharpest sword…" Elia moved extremely fast, as if she was going to cut the leaf. But to his surprise, the sword stopped with a leaf at the tip of the blade. Even though they wielded the same sword, it didn’t cut the leaf.

"How…" Ethan sucked a cold breath.

"This is what I will be teaching you. Even with the sharpest sword, if you don’t intend to cut it, it won’t cut. By utilizing this swordplay, you can hit the opponent and use their own weight to throw them off. Or you can destroy their attack by simply focusing on their weak point. As for the second one, the heavy sword…"

Elia took a few steps forward, looking at the hill next to them. "By utilizing all your power and unleashing it at a single point. Destroy everything in your path with pure brute force."

When she swung her sword, the hill that was located at least a hundred meters away from them was suddenly cut. The top part was shattered by so much force, which startled not only Ethan but also Clovis.

"I will teach you these two. Are you ready to get stronger?"

Both Ethan and Clovis looked excited as they said the same thing. "Yes!"
