Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 : Three Phases of the Blade

Feran: We've rested quite a bit today.

Rezo: Yeah, I'm not even used to resting much anymore.

Feran: Exactly.

Rezo: Come on, let's go eat.

Feran: Right, and then back to training.

Rezo: Definitely. By the way, yesterday you mentioned that you like Hakunji.

Feran: Yes... I did say that.

Rezo: Then why doesn't anyone like me?

Feran: (Happily) Don't worry, man. You'll find someone eventually.

Rezo: Well, we'll see.

Berral: Kids, hurry up! We're going to be late for training.

Feran: Coming, Dad!

Rezo: Coming, Uncle!

(Setting: On the training area)

Berral: Boys, as you both know, the demons attacked suddenly last time. We had no information, so we can't trust them this time either. They could strike at any moment.

Feran: Yes, Dad. We are preparing as best as we can.

Rezo: Yes, Uncle. We won't let them through.

Berral: Boys, there is no issue with the demons arriving, but if a "Glare" or "Glance" shows up, then we have a real problem.

Feran: We won't let them go either.

Berral: They are coming to fight us. We have very little time left.

Rezo: What do you mean?

Berral: Remember, I told you both that the sword has three phases. We've only mastered the first phase so far.

Feran: Yes, Dad. I remember.

Berral: If a Glare or Glance appears, we must use move to the 2nd Phase of the sword. It is absolutely necessary.

Rezo: I see... so that's how it is.

Berral: That's why you two need to train even harder. If they spoted you both take Hakunji and run, we'll be wasting time of them.

Feran: But Dad... how can they even take Hakunji?

Berral: They are very fast. If they take Hakunji and get a head start, they will use their speed to escape.

Rezo: That means we'll waste too much time of them to save hakunji.

Berral: Exactly. Now, I am going to the Sword Holders as quickly as possible and gather there. Both of you, train hard!

Feran: Yes, Dad!

Rezo: Yes, Uncle!

(On the other hand...)

Hakunji: Mom... I'm not feeling so well.

Roshi: Nothing will be gained by worrying like this, child. Your mind is under too much pressure. Even Uncle Berral said that.

Hakunji: Okay, I understand.

Feran: Rezo, let's go meet Hakunji.

Rezo: Yeah, let's go.

Berral: Alright kids, go for now, but I want to see excellent training tomorrow.

Feran: Yes, Dad.

Rezo: Yes, Uncle.

Berral: Go on. You both can go now.

(After reaching Hakunji's house)

Feran: Hakunji, where are you?

Roshi: Kids, you've arrived. Come, sit down. I'll bring something to eat.

Rezo: Where is Hakunji, Mom?

Roshi: She's in her room.

Feran: Okay, Auntie.

Hakunji: Feran? You're here?

Feran: I'm here. I was looking for you.

Rezo: Hakunji! How is my sister doing?

Hakunji: I'm fine. How are you two?

Feran: We're both doing well. What do you do at home all day?

Hakunji: Not much. I just played for a bit and then sat down.

Feran: Sorry, we've been really busy lately.

Hakunji: It's okay, I know. Come, let's play for a little while.

Rezo: Yeah, let's play!

Hakunji: I'm really going to enjoy this!

Rezo: Come on Feran, it's your turn.

Feran: Okay, I've picked a card. And open it.

Roshi: Kids, come and eat something.

Feran: Okay, we're coming.

Rezo: I'm coming too!

Feran: Hakunji, you won this round!

Hakunji: Yeah, I won!

Rezo: Come on, let's go. The food will get cold.

Feran: The food was delicious! now I want to go home , we will meet tomorrow rezo, and Hakunji take good care of yourself.

Rezo: Let's meet again tomorrow.

Hakunji: You also take care of yourselves too.

Rezo: Yeah, we'll meet tomorrow.

Roshi: I should be going now, son.

Feran: Mom, I'm home!

Sharlet: Good. Your dad has already left.

Feran: Yes, he told me today that the Sword Holder is going to be gathered.

Sharlet: Good. Have you eaten anything?

Feran: Yes, I just came from Aunt Roshi's house.

Sharlet: Oh, that's good.

Feran: Mom, I'm really tired from training.

Sharlet: Son, you're training very hard. Now you both should save all of us.
