The Art Of Sword

After getting in the car the loud sound of closing the car door woke Sunz up from his confusion.

Sunz looks around the car interior and starts to sweat in fear but still tries to mutter some words: Um… where… are we going?

The Butler: Young boy please calm down we have no intention of harming you and we are just going back to Young Master's home.

Sunz started to calm down but became worried and said “ I can’t go back to your place my parents gonna worried sick” After saying that his phone rang and it was his parents Sunz picked up the call and heard his mom on the other side.

Sunz’s mom: Honey are you ok, Jihu called and said that you and him are gonna hang out at your new friend's house and I was worried because I didn’t hear anything back from you.

Sunz tries to make up a story: I’m sorry Mom, it's just that me and Jihu met this guy during recess and we were having so much fun talking with him then he invited us to hang out at his house. We are currently on the way to his house now.

Sunz’s mom: How are you getting there?

Sunz: We have his guardian driving us to the house.

Sunz’s mom: Honey can you ask when are you coming home so we can be at ease?

The butler tells Sunz to give him the phone so he can talk to Sunz’mom: Hi Mrs. Wu my name is Archibald the butler of your son's new friend, you don’t have to worry at all your son will be home between 8-9 pm and he will have dinner at our place.

Sunz’s mom: Thank you for being so specific and Sunz are you ok with this?

Sunz: Yes Mom.

Sunz’s mom: Then have fun and don’t give Mr. Archibald too much trouble ok?

Sunz: OK, love you mom

Sunz’s mom: Love you too honey.

Archibald: You sure have a caring parent!

Sunz: Yeah, we usually get anxious when any of us are not on time.

Archibald: Good to know, what about your friend here does he have a loving family?

Jihu: We are but whenever we have a competition everyone starts showing their true color

Archibald: But that's what family is, a place where you can be yourself around people you love. But that is not the same for him (Unknown) all he has is me for now.

Sunz and Jihu: Oh (what do we say now)!

Archibald: We’re here boys.

Sunz: I thought having a butler meant that you live in a mansion, but this looks pretty ordinary.

Unknown: Love to judge a book by its cover do you?

Sunz: Um actually just a combination of curious and anxious.

Jihu: Don’t worry, Sunz can’t trust anyone and he always makes up scenarios about you putting him in harm, but he always tries to make sure that you can trust him. Right, Sunz!

Sunz just nods awkwardly

Unknown: We’ll continue inside I’m freezing.

Walking inside the house, it’s no different than any other house including 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen that also acts as a dining area, but the living room has nothing just wooden floor and curtains covering the window.

Jihu points at the living room: That area looks pretty coldzy.

Unknown: Yeah if you don’t use that place for anything, it’s better off not furnished.

After the small talk, the 3 boys sit in the kitchen while Archibald makes dinner.

Unknown removes his hoodie to reveal his true self: So to gain each other trust allow me to introduce myself. My name Mara Laikin from Brazil.

Jihu: My name Han Jihu Korean born in Canada

Sunz: My name is Wu Sunz Chinese born in Canada and I have known Jihu for nearly 2 years.

Laikin: So we now get to know each other, care to explain what was happening in the match.

Sunz: First I’d like to sorry for hurting you, Mr. Archibald.

Archibald: Don’t worry I’ve suffered worse

Sunz: And the one fighting before wasn’t me, I was only coming back after the fight was over.

Jihu: Then who was fighting for you because you can’t perform those complex moves?

Sunz: Before I answer that Laikin do you have a lightning ability?

Laikin: No, but I’m a student of lightnight and so is your friend Jihu student of water.

Sunz: OK one thing at a time I’ll explain what happened to me before and you guys tell me what world you guys are living in.

After some minutes of explaining

Jihu: So we understand what happens and I have a theory. Laikan you know what I’m talking about right?

Laikan: Yeah wait a bit.

Sunz’s mind: This is the first time I've seen Jihu this serious.

Laikan comes back with a book named Lighting Style and tells Sunz to skim through it.

Laikan: This is our answer to the mystery of your ability Sunz.

Jihu: In these books, there are three levels simple, advanced, and freestyle. They act as an entry-level for other diverse skills.

Sunz: You know that this book contains only the sword movement but not how to channel the element needed for the skill right? (Wait something is not right this book is about lightning sword but Laikan channels through his fists.)

Laikan: Looks like we’ve got a genius here.

Sunz: What… no I’m not.

Jihu: He’s right you just question the most common quote in our world “The teacher can teach a student how to swing a sword but not how to wield the sword”.

Sunz: That means I need to know how to channel the element my way, ( which answers my question ). Laikin you have an ability that allows you to use your hand as a sword right?

Laikan: I guess you are right ( is it really all it can do though? )

Archibald: Okay boys clear the table dinner is ready.
