The Art Of Sword

Hours later Sunz woke up in an unfamiliar room. He looks around the room but no one was there.

Sunz gets out of the bed and suddenly feels a headache on the left side of his head. Sunz thinks to himself (Must be the side effect after training.)

Then Sogae came into the room, saw that Sunz was getting out of bed, and said “Look like you have recovered from your training”.

Sunz is surprised that Sogae is here and replies “I guess! I didn’t know that you are still working at this hour. By the way what time is it?”

Sogae give Sunz a gentle smile and said: I told you before, that I work many jobs in the clan so it's common to see me at all kinds of hours. Currently, it's dinner time right now, but do you think you have the energy to get up?

Sunz said, “I just have a little headache but I’ll be fine”. As Sunz tries to take another step, his body just stops and drops to the floor. But Sogae was quick enough to catch Sunz’s body before it hit the ground.

Sogae sighed: I knew that you aren’t fully recovered. Let me help you get back to bed.

Sogae then uses a technique called “The Princess Carry” to lift Sunz's body up and gently put Sunz on the bed.

After being put on the bed Sunz was surprised by Sogae’s strength and something in his brain just click.

Sunz: Wait are you the person that carries me from the training area to this place?

Sogae smile and said: I say! Carrying you here caught a lot of attention and whispering.

Sunz: I’m sorry for causing you trouble.

Sogae: Oh it’s fine! Carrying unconscious people to this room is part of working down there. This brings me to my question. What training did you do that caused you to lose consciousness?

Sunz: It’s my first time pushing myself over the limit. Because I am overall way behind other contestants, so I try to improve my best stats to have a winning chance.

Sogae: I can understand people training their body to the max but you. Not only your body reaching its limit but also your mind. When I found your body and carried it to this room. I can feel your pulse forcing the body to be able to match its energy expense.

Sunz: I guess that much be normal for training right? Your muscle tear so it can get stronger after each training.

Sogae: Your is different. Your body is tearing itself without your attention and that’s the reason why you can’t move. Your brain is trying to reconnect with the new body.

Sunz: I guess what you’re saying is right. I just hope this end soon because I need to test out my limit before the first round.

Sogae then gives Sunz a water bottle “Here drink some water you must be thirsty”

Sunz accept the bottle then take a big gulp and said “Thank you I feel a lot better.”

But right after that Sunz’s body feels strange. It feels like he just woke up after 8 hours of sleep. He then asks Sogae “Did you drug this water bottle?”

Sogae takes the bottle back and answers: No! Is something wrong, does it taste weird?

Sunz: No it taste normal. But now my body feels like I just woke up and my energy has been refilled.

Sogae: Oh I guess that you must have been dehydrated. Can you try getting out of bed and moving around?

Sunz “Sure I’ll try!”. As Sunz gets out of bed he tries to walk around and to his surprise, he can walk normally, but it still feels like the legs aren’t his.

Sogae: It looks like you’re fully recovered, so I suggest that you should go get some dinner.

Sunz grabs his katana tilting at the wall and leaves the room with Sogae. She shows him how to get to the dining room then the two-part way.

Sunz then meets up with Grimm and Jihu. While Sogae went back to her room. On her way back she keeps looking at the water bottle and thinks to herself “Is this one of the clan's hidden abilities.”

Sogae enters her room close, locking the door then she leans at the door and thinks (But what would it be useful for.)

She put the bottle aside, take off her uniform and go into the shower. A few minutes later she comes out wrapped in a towel, then drys her hair and put on her pajamas. She thinks for a bit and realize (Wait maybe I can somehow turn it into a way for communication.)

She turn off the light gets into her bed and said “A goodnight sleep will give me a better idea of what I’m looking for.”

Then she turn to the left, looking at herself sleeping, and said “Thank to you I can use the time to train myself rather than sleeping.”
