Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as the weakest Sword God

Chapter 11: It is still very early



I walked home with Nina that same day, shortly after the failed technique.

We were both depressed because even she could feel the disappointment of my enormous failure.

A tremor of hesitation filled my body as my small house came into view, our steps crunching in the snow, slowing and hesitating.

I felt…strangely uncomfortable at the thought of seeing my parents so soon.

although they both love talking to me about my training and progress... there was a hesitation in our interactions...no...there were expectations, expectations after seeing my extremely rapid progress in my training.

When we reached the front yard of my house Nina looked at me hesitantly.

"Okay, see you tomorrow," I said with a small smile.

She smiled at this, approached me and gave me a long kiss on the cheek.

"I'll see you later..." she said with a blush on her cheeks as she walked in the snow.

"I tried the third step transition today," I muttered.

My parents looked at each other expectantly and then looked at me.

"It was incredible, it was a lot of fun but...although I could definitely feel that my actions were complete...but...do you know the feeling you get when you execute a technique successfully?...well...it didn't work.. ." I murmured as I stuffed a piece of bread into my mouth.

My father nodded and spoke immediately after, sensing that it was time to give a lesson on fencing.

"Of course, self-confidence is absolutely necessary to succeed, but confidence alone is not the only requirement for power, if it were, every ignorant fool who traveled here to challenge the master would be a much bigger problem." "My father said while playing with his pork rib.

"Well...I know that but..." I shook my head.

"I had been practicing it for a while and I felt like I did it perfectly! The sword...just slipped out of my hands..." I murmured as I leaned back in my chair.

"Gino, you're not stupid, we all know that," Dad said firmly.

I had a feeling this wouldn't turn out well for me, but I nodded in confirmation anyway.

"So, if you're not a fool...why have you been practicing transitioning, as if you could succeed so easily?" Dad said sternly.

I blinked and Mom took advantage of that moment to intervene between us while she looked askance at Dad.

"I think what your father is trying to say here, Gino, is that you're not ready to try techniques at that level yet," my mother said with an apologetic expression.

This time I couldn't stop a grimace from forming on my face imitating my father's.

"But...I've been training for three whole years and...and I feel like I'm improving!...b-but my results...my results are still the same!!" I protested.

"I must be doing something wrong if the sword keeps slipping away from me!" I protested in frustration.

"Gino...how old are you?" My father asked while looking into my eyes.

"What does that matter?! I...it doesn't matter how old he is, as long as he's skilled enough! You two have said it before!!" I shouted furiously.

"Don't raise your voice anymore Gino" my father said almost as a growl and I gulped hesitantly shrinking slightly in my chair before nodding.

"I will not allow so much shouting under this roof, it is true that we have supported you because of your age and you have shown great potential with the sword, but now you have a different problem that will surely "It will come up again in the future" my father said firmly while my mother looked at me with concern.

"...what's going on then?..." I muttered.

"The sword slipped from your hands, didn't it? If I assume that your technique was perfect, as you claim, there can only be one reason for such an action" he said seriously something I was already used to.

I stared at him, after all my father is the second strongest swordsman in the world only below Gull Farion, his advice is like a gold mine.

"You are still physically weak, it is simply a sign of your age, and it is noticeable even when we train in the morning" he said and I nodded slowly.

"...so...how can I overcome this problem?" I muttered but I already knew the answer...I just wanted to see if my father could give me a shortcut.

"It should be clear, the only way is to wait, you are six years old and you have already surpassed the intermediate rank, you have practiced your techniques well, but skill means nothing if the right strength" He said as he resumed his meal.

Of course...there was no other method...

But then my father smiled, I rarely see him do it but most of them are directed towards me

"Don't worry Gino, very soon you will be powerful, we can all feel it" he said

My mother laughed, and the tense air seemed to disappear from the table, even my frown of discomfort disappeared, the meal was almost finished.

I smiled at this, nodding along with the rest of the conversation between my parents.

At that time, when my father had spoken so confidently, declaring that I would obviously be powerful, as soon as I finished growing up...

I love using the sword, there was something charming about swinging it outdoors and practicing with it, getting better every day.

When I felt like I was stagnating in the last few months, I felt uncomfortable...

I have always thought about becoming powerful...since I was born here...since I became Gino Britzs that has been my main goal...

But I guess even with that in mind I can still expect to grow up right?...no...

There is the threat of Hitogami, I will not rest easy until I at least become the Sword God...

But after a year...if I relax...

(sigh) shit...all in due time, right?

...

The next few days went by as usual, I trained from the moment I came out on my own until I went to bed, always with Nina by my side.

Seeing my determination, Nina herself began to train harder and after three long months without any progress, Nina executed her first sword of silence and thus became an advanced rank swordswoman at the age of nine.

Because of that she moved to my father's dojo and I stayed in Samuel's dojo.

Even though I was alone again here, when we left our respective dojos she always came to accompany me to train.

On my magic side it's progressing little by little...what do I mean?!

Now I can throw twenty-one water balls before I passed out!!

And how many water balls could I throw before passing out?!...well, twenty!!

Yep, a big change!

One...two...three...four...five swings..

My current limit is five hundred swings...yes, believe it or not.

But still my strength just doesn't increase

I asked Nina and she agreed with my father...

I'm just too weak physically..

...

Another 3 months passed now we are close to winter, I recently asked my parents to let me wander around the city once every ten days to rest, my father only agreed when I promised to swing day and night.

Today I decided to visit the adventurer's guild, if the reason is the adventurer's guild of any generic isekai.

But this time I had the intention of becoming an adventurer an Aldo I just wanted to see how this place works, To register I brought with me some copper coins that I asked my mother for.

According to my father, in addition to strength, I need real combat experience. Obviously, my mother told me this so that she would listen to us, otherwise she would have killed us both uuug...

For this occasion I carried the sword that my father gave me, it was a little big for my age so I carried it on my back.

I arrived at the adventurer's guild and the laughter and conversations ended when I entered the place.

I received stories of looks of disdain and superiority that reminded me of my previous life which made me shudder with discomfort.

Trying to avoid the stares I reached the counter of the adventurers guild and there was a human girl with big breasts and a smile, Her hair was brown, her eyes were black and her hair was tied back in a braid.

According to Rudeus, there always have to be women like that in this type of jobs for some reason...

"Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild, how may I serve you?" The woman said.

"I want to register as an adventurer" I said to the woman

"Hmm?...okay, write down your information here" she said as she handed me a tablet

Thank goodness I can now read and write.

I wrote down my personal details and the woman shortly after gave me an adventurer's badge.

Name: Gino Britzs

Rank: F

Race: Human

Age: 6

Sword God Style: Intermediate

Water Magic: Intermediate

Fire Magic: Intermediate

Wind Magic: Intermediate

Earth Magic: Intermediate

Healling Magic: Begginer

I checked my adventurer tablet which contained my personal information and skills...I should keep this thing hidden from my parents...

I had no intention of looking for an S-rank job, even I knew my limits, I would currently focus on some F-rank or E-rank job.

It wouldn't be too dangerous, but I might kill some monsters along the way.

I went to the application board and started looking through the jobs.

One of the many caught my attention:

*I need help to move magic items from the Yuega Cave to my warehouse in the northern area of the sacred land of the sword*

Requested by: Balka

Reward: 10 copper coins per person

An F-rank job...the best to start with, plus I heard from Nina that the Yuega cave is slightly dangerous...

I notice that there were two other papers with the same notice and there were also two empty spaces between them.

"It seems that two adventurers have already taken this job huh?..." I muttered.

But it doesn't matter, in fact I don't even know why I'm doing this, I just want to get out of my routine and that's all.

I took the application and brought it to the girl at the counter, she signed me up and so I was able to go on my first mission to gain experience in this world!!
