'This sword will do. Its quality is low, but I can see it was blessed by the sacred city'.
''Elder, what do you want me to do with it? '' ask Shabbar.
''They say 'A sword Saint will know when he holds a sword'. Are not a SWORD SAINT??''.
''Yes! I am Elder Garzali'' reply Shabbar
''But I belong to Peace Faction'' he added
''You mean, Faction of ANNIHILATION?? ''
''Outsiders called us such. But we prepare peace'' he replies.
'''Have you killed a person before?? ''
''No'' Shabbar reply.
''So?? ''
''So?? ''
''How did you join?? ''
''Father brought different factions, and I choose them'' he answers
''What did you know about them''
''They have a maxim that I like...
*Life Is Important, Never Saber It Unless It Is A Most*
*Preserve Life At All Cost*
*Respect Life And Do Not Desecrate It*
*A Sword Is Meant To Kill!!!*
*So Kill With It!!!*''.
.
.
Shabbar recites the maxim.
''Is that all? ''
''Yes. That's all'' he replied.
''Have you ever read a story about them?''
''Yes. I did'' shabbar reply.
''What are your thoughts?''.
''They meant. What the maxim says''.
''Have you read 'Journey for blood'??''.
''Yes I did''
''Your thoughts in one word??''.
''Death'' Shabbar reply
''The Man is the leader of that Faction''
''I know ''
''What Version, did you Read??''
''Black book version of Royal family'' Shabbar answer
''What can you call the man??''
''Killer'' he answered
Silence... For some time
.
.
.
.
''On your own, what do you think a sword should be? ''
''What was created for '' Shabbar answer
''Are you not the Son of Rukiya?? ''
''Yes. I am. Elder Garzali please enlighten me! ''
''We view... I mean, I view them as extreme... Their maxim speaks true to their action. When they kill. They did kill''
''That's why I like them'' Shabbar voiced his opinion.
''If they agree to your Father's order on killing. They will not stop at anything even if the ORDER involves an entire village!!. Man, Woman, Child, Livestock, stray insect, stray birds, even bacteria and fungus will be Annihilated''
The elder continues ''Nothing will survive ''
''They are amazing seniors!!. My question is, what will be the Body condition of the victims?? ''.
The elder was taken aback by the question. But he answered nonetheless.
''Single wound, at most three wounds''
''My Aunt tried talking me out of it. But among all the other eleven factions this one seems simple enough for me... it's easy to follow their maxim'' shabbar added.
''When I was confirmed to be Sword Saint I was thirteen and a half. I might not know anything when I have a conversation with all the faction''
''Star Swords are aggressive in their style. Shadow is Stealthy... Swift Swords are fast... Kwakwa Swords are bold. All of them are amazing and have their own Maxim. Some share similarities but some didn't''
''During my interaction with the faction representative, almost all of them try to win me over through their special sword technique. Only a few just tell me the maxim of their faction as an introduction. ''
''The maxim I recite to you, is the exact way I heard that day. It's simple, one should not be a Mindless killer. But in our world death is the norm outside the protection of the kingdom, then one should kill only when necessary. '' Shabbar finished his explanation.
''No life deserves to die Shabbar. If you delve deep into their faction you will understand what I mean.... But a piece of advice. Hold on to the maxim whenever you're going to kill someone or something ''.... ''As I know the life meant in the maxim, refers to all life not just human''.
....
A Sword Saint level is not attained through remarkable technique or extraordinary move but through devotion in the mastery of the basic moves.
A body should be honed with the basics till it becomes a sword itself, by practicing normal moves to absolute perfections.
At saint level, an increase in the perfection of the body moves is impossible. What was carved on the flesh and bones as muscle memories can not be increased. Only through enlightenment or insights can one further their mastery.
Enlightenment is earned through continuous practice of the basic moves, not to get better at the moves but to comprehend the moves.
.......
'It's a good thing, we are not allowed to learn any mortal techniques... it's better to call it fake techniques since Sword Saint are mortal.'
'I am a bona fide Saint regarding swords mastery. As of now, my sword is a newborn baby untainted by any color. Probably, I can achieve True Insight'
In the end, he decided to do so. Now that he has a chance to become a scholar he will be weak for a very long time and his only source of strength is a sword.
He stood at the room center. the sword beside his feet. Inhaling and exhaled. His train of thoughts gradually follows his breathing. This eliminates any thoughts that may pop up.
His mind calm and his thought process echo's with inhaling and exhale.
He commenced imagining a sword. It hilt, sharp age, sheath. The imagined is his sword.
He kept that image and compelled it to be real by hypnotizing himself. He remains in his state of imagination till he tires out.
The situation proceeds non-stop until he felt sleepy. He grabs the sword from the ground. He leans to the side of the wall and plunges asleep!
