Another day arrived.
Now that Noah had broken through to the Condensed Core (Low) stage, he was finally capable of learning the next form of his Weapon Art.
After informing Akari about it, she agreed to let him train by himself first.
Currently Noah stood alone in the open yard, his sword resting quietly in his right hand.
A gentle breeze drifted across the clearing, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle softly.
He slowly closed his eyes. The inheritance engraved within his mind began surfacing once again.
Frozen Lotus Blade Art.
Until now, he had mastered only two forms.
First Petal — Dewdrop Stance.
A stance that gathered every ounce of strength into a single perfectly balanced strike.
Second Petal — Still Surface Cut.
A nearly invisible slash of condensed frost capable of slicing through enemies before they even realized they had been attacked.
Now the third form appeared within his mind.

Third Petal — Petal Scatter (The Bloom Begins).
