I Reincarnated as a Shinai

Chapter 345: Encounter ( 1 )



"Spiritual Energy Training?" Diether was confused. 

He knows that term and supposedly, that is not something anyone could easily use! 

"Hehe… I knew it, you guys haven't experienced that yet." Imane couldn't help but feel proud about this. 

Though they were Reiji's final students, they still received somewhat better benefits.

"Oh… That's good for you. However, I think I donated the highest amount of blood to Master Reiji." Stella suddenly said which dumbfounded the others.

However, seeing that she's chuckling, they realized that she's only joking about it.

"Now that I think about it, Master Reiji also took a lot of blood from us…" Stasis added while the three others with him nodded.

"Oh… I'm also doing several unusual things according to our Master's instructions. Like holding him for a long time." Diether added.

"Me too, I'm even doing some kind of ritual for Master. He not only likes blood but also other decent Arcana." Stella said recalling how his master consumed several Arcana at once then evolving to a higher rank. 

She couldn't forget that scene since that was the same day she had to fight against the Beast Arts user from the Dukedom.

The seven of them continued chatting for a while as they found similarities to the things that their master is telling them to do aside from practicing their Kendo.

Perhaps, if they are not in this chaotic land, they would probably enjoy sparring with each other so they can compare their skills and perhaps, learn about their real Dan Grade in Kendo.

"It will get dark soon…" Diether muttered after seeing the sky. Because of the many Wild Beasts and the terrain they had to traverse, their group moved really slow. 

However, he didn't think that they would be this slow. It was quite confusing.

"Oh, not really, we're just approaching the town. It seems that some kind of magic was used as that place has never seen sunlight." Vinete explained to the three. 

Diether and the other two were quite surprised and showed interest after hearing this. 

If Lyrei heard this, she wouldn't be surprised like them. After all, she knows the habit of the Dark Elves and how they like to say in the darkness as much as possible. 

"We should take a break." Mourad suggested after noticing that they are indeed getting close to the town.

"Alright, let's choose that place." Imane pointed at the top of a hill where a huge tree is planted.

After a few minutes, the group confirmed that it is safe to stay there. Not only that, they made sure to spray Fenograss Solution to chase away any weaker wild beasts.

"So, that's the rumored Fenograss Solution. Will it really work against the Wild Beasts living here?" Mourad curiously asked.

Their three villages don't use these things after all. They are mostly reliant on their arrays including the natural terrain that allows them to avoid the wild beasts including the evil beasts. 

At most, they only have to worry about these beasts during the Beast Waves.

"I've finished setting up a simple array. I didn't bring a lot of Array Cores with me so…" Rufus scratched his head after realizing that he's the only one who brought defensive arrays for a situation like this.

"That's fine… It's not like we'll stay here for long. Our Arcane Sensitivity had also reached a high level so I'm confident that no one will be able to ambush us." Stasis confidently said as he stick his double-ended sword on the ground. 

He then sat beside the sword and closed his eyes to take a rest.

After seeing this, the others followed suit as they are unsure when they could take a rest again.

On the other hand, Stella kept looking at the large tree beside them.

This is really similar to the Beacon Tree that can only be found in the Wailing Forest! 

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Just about 10 minutes had passed when they arrived on this hill when they suddenly heard the clashing of swords not too far from them. 

"A battle? That's cool." 

"Is it the Dark Elves?"

Rufus and Diether quickly opened their eyes and glanced in the direction of the sound.

"Hmm… They might be hunting beasts for food."

"Eh… It's not. Look!"

Stasis corrected Stella as soon as he saw what was happening. 

Currently, Stasis is the one here with the best control on his Bloodline Ability. He had awakened this a lot earlier than Mourad and the others. This is also the main reason why he won the previous competition.

One of his bloodline abilities was his improved eyesight… It can also be used for Night Vision and Kinetic Vision which is quite helpful during battle.

"Oh… Now that you said it… You're right. Is it some kind of infighting?" Stella muttered. However, she also doubted her words. It doesn't seem like it's infighting. 

She can see that the Dark Elves are swinging their weapons against some kind of invisible enemies.

"A ritual?"

"No way. This… They are fighting against other Sentient Arcana!" Stasis finally realized what was going on. 

They all looked at each other as they decided to take a closer look.

"I'll cast a Silent Movement magic to everyone, stay still. Okay?" Imane then touched her Legendary Ring to activate her Arcane Magic.

Soon, everyone was wrapped by blue energy before vanishing upon touching their bodies.

"Let's move." Stasis ordered as he picked up his weapon.

The battlefield and their resting place were just about 400 meters apart so they arrived at the scene quite fast.

Soon, they saw a Taichi Sword, a Kris Sword, and a Cloak floating!

They were fighting against the 10 Dark Elves… Well, there are already 8 bodies lying on the ground so they actually fought against 18 Dark Elves!

Not only that, they seemed to be suppressing the elves and will be winning any moment by now!

"Incredible! Are they perhaps related to Master Reiji?"

"Well, it's not impossible. However, they can also be Master Reiji's enemies. We don't know, so we have to be careful." Diether answered Rufus question. 

He then silently held his sword as he felt that the group of Sentient Arcana also felt their presence!
