Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as the weakest Sword God

Chapter 41: Ocean Mirror



"Okay, imagine as if you were to create a repellent barrier with your Touki, that barrier should repel the impact and return it to your attacker" Isolte said while I was trying to concentrate.

It had been a month since the incident with Eris, now he had a harem and he feels more uncomfortable than they think, Ghislaine was the most surprised of all since she saw how Eris behaved with Rudeus.

Plus she said she wanted to keep training so I couldn't argue any further.

"Imagine that barrier is elastic, that the sword must bounce off it" Isolte said

I concentrated my Touki on my sword but honestly I didn't have the slightest idea how to do it, even with Ghislaine's help, it was something that was simply beyond my reach and apparently this increased Isolte's self-confidence for some reason...

I had already tried this whole month to manipulate my Touki the way Isolte indicates and nothing has changed.

"I can't..." I said dejectedly as I dispelled the Touki from my sword.

"Hmmm...don't worry, even with your talent it's not something that can be learned even with a whole year of practice" Isolte said to try to comfort me

"Look at me, I became a water saint at fourteen and spent six years training until I mastered Ocean Mirror" she said with a proud smile

I just looked at my sword and the group of women sitting on the floor, Nina and Eris looked at me with apologetic smiles which honestly made me feel worse.

Also, it should be noted that after Eris joined my harem... God, I'm so embarrassed to say it.

She and Nina have become closer, now they went from rivals to... friendly rivals if that exists.

Also Nina has made progress with her control of Flow, and Eris is starting to get the hang of the style.

The three of us have made good progress in a short time but there is still a long way to go, and now I spend my days away from the central dojo due to these training sessions.

Today I wanted to go back to training in the dojo even if it was just for a moment...

"Okay, Nina, let's put your Flow mastery to use" Isolte said and Nina got up from the ground

They both got into the Water God style fighting stance as they looked at each other.

As always, Isolte pounced on Nina, and it should also be noted that Isolte has talent for the Sword God style, the girl recently mastered the long sword of silence, and she used that technique to attack Nina.

Nina used Flow to repel the attack, Nina's sword was repelled and thrown aside in a quick and accurate movement.

That's what I would say, but Nina's Touki control is not yet perfected, Isolte fell to the ground and with her hands she gave herself momentum and jumped to attack Nina's neck.

The swords clashed as Nina tried to use Flow, but Isolte's attack force was greater.

Poor Nina was sent rolling in the snow by a tired Isolte.

"v-very well...you are very close to mastering it!" Isolte said with sweat on her forehead.

Nina just grunted in pain in response to this as she got up from the ground.

"Alright, I think that's all for today, I must get back to my training, see you tomorrow" Isolte said with a smug smile and returned to the central dojo.

There the three of us stayed in silence, Eris rested her head on my back while Nina cleaned the dirt from her clothes.

"What are you two going to do that isn't sex?" Nina asked.

"Nina...we haven't done it..." I replied while looking at her out of the corner of my eye.

"a-ah yes, I forgot, I'm going back home, I'm dirty, and you?" She said

"...I'll go train with Ghislaine" Eris replied.

"I'm going back to the dojo, I want to spar with Gull" I said while looking at the dojo building.

Nina frowned at this.

"What's all this about??" She asked confused.

"Well, I haven't actively trained with Gull for a couple of months and I'm afraid I'm getting rusty," I said with a smile.

"hmm, okay, see you tomorrow" Nina said as she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Y-yeah! I'll see you tomorrow too!" Eris said as she gave me another kiss on the blushing cheek.

The two girls went in the same direction as Ghislaine is probably training near her room.

...

I entered the dojo again, there were the sword saints, Isolte and Gull who was sitting on his cushion

"Hmm? Gino? What's wrong?" He said while looking at me with boredom.

"Nothing, I have nothing to do at home and I want to have a friendly duel with you" I said with a smile while unsheathing my sword.

A devilish smile appeared on Gull's face as he unsheathed his sword in the same manner, apparently the guy was really bored.

"Just because you're already an emperor and you have your harem, you think you're tough, huh?..." He said with a smile as he slowly got up from the cushion

And yes, Gull eventually found out that Nina wasn't the only one, but he let it go since if his daughter agreed, he did too, and it's not like he cared that much for her.

"Did I say that someday? I don't remember..." I replied as I got into a combat stance.

I let my Touki flow naturally into my sword, the way I was already accustomed to after so long.

"Heh, you sure have guts brat" Gull responded with his same smile and a fraction of a second later he lunged at me.

His sword cut through the air with a terrifying whistle and closed the distance of twenty steps away in less than a second.

Both swords collided with a dry metallic noise, Gull's strength made me retreat slightly but I did not falter.

Our swords separated, Gull tried to attack my neck, I quickly crouched and with my momentum I charged at his ribs.

He noticed and blocked it at the last second, changing plans...

I crouched down further, my knee on the ground, attacking his knee!

But no! The bastard noticed and tried to attack my back, I made a quick jump back followed by a long sword of light that he repelled effortlessly.

As I jumped I was slightly exposed as I fell to the ground.

Gull took advantage of this and lunged at me, I let myself fall completely, Gull was on top of me but by his own momentum he would fall in front of me.

I arched slightly, raised my legs and kicked him in the stomach, lifting him slightly and causing him to fall to my left with a thud.

"uuug!" Gull whined as he quickly got up from the ground.

I was giving it my all, but Gull looked like he was having the time of his life.

"You fight well brat!" Gull shouted with a smile

By this point all the sword saints were looking at us intently, some in complete shock and others with envy.

Isolte looked at me analytically but I could see that she was also surprised.

I lunged at Gull again at my top speed, he reacted at the last moment and our swords clashed again.

But this time his guard was broken by my momentum, his left foot slipped slightly

causing him to stagger back slightly.

An opening!

I moved the position of my sword in my hands and directed it at his rib quickly.

Gull noticed this but it was too late, the blunt side of my sword hit his ribs and I could see that he frowned in pain.

But...

His own sword was on my chest...no...it was moving towards my chest at the speed of light

"You're the first one to hurt me since I became a Sword God, you're definitely impressive Gino" Gull said with a shark-toothed grin.

And the next moment I was thrown out and crashed into a wall of the dojo, denting it slightly.

At least the bastard was also considerate and didn't use the sharp side of his sword like I did.

I was on the verge of losing consciousness and I could see Gull breathing heavily and holding his rib in pain.

And to think that I was able to put a world power in a difficult position at my age...

With this thought a smile formed on my face and I fell unconscious.

...

I don't know how much time passed but I woke up lying on some firm muscles, a rough hand gently caressing my hair

I immediately recognized this person, it was Ghislaine.

Pretending to be asleep, I approached her and buried my face in her crotch and my hands hugged her waist.

"Ahem! We already know you're awake!" Eris's voice echoed in my ears.

I looked up immediately and sure enough I was resting on Ghislaine but around me was Eris and we were in a room that I did not know.

"Where are we?..." I asked as I looked around

"My room, we heard the ruckus you made at the dojo and brought you here" Eris said with a smile.

I sat up straight in bed as I remembered what happened.

"...Gull said something?..." I muttered.

"Nothing at all, he just said to take care of you" Ghislaine replied with a smile.

"I see..." I replied dejectedly.

"Don't be sad, Gull looked tired, you put him on the ropes!!" Eris said excitedly and I smiled.

At this I allowed myself to rest again on Ghislaine's thighs and she caressed my head again.

"hmmm...." Eris grunted with a pout.

"Don't be jealous, you can do it whenever you want" Ghislaine said and Eris nodded blushing.

I spent about half an hour in this manner until I considered it was time to leave.

...

The next day I arrived to train with Isolte and she looked at me with respect?...ah yes, it seems that my duel yesterday must have changed her perspective of me.

The duel with Gull left me reflecting, my Touki...let it flow like a barrier...

"Are you ready?..." Isolte said as she prepared to attack me and I nodded

I've never been good at my touki manipulation, but I must try...

Imagine my Touki covering me...a wall...a mirror...

When I opened my eyes, Isolte was only about two steps away from me, I didn't hear when she did the count...

Instinctively I tried to use Flow...but no...

Let my Touki act as a protective and elastic barrier...return your enemy's force back to him...use his own strength against him...

One step...Isolte's sword headed for my rib, the sword was going at the speed of sound but I saw it in slow motion...

My Touki...I manipulated my Touki, it came out from my sword and combined with the air, like mana, you use the external mana to recharge your own reserves...convert that mana into your Touki...

A distorted image of me formed in Isolte's field of vision, she opened her eyes wide.

50 cm...his sword was only fifty cm from my rib but...his speed decreased...

Forty cm...the sword began to go backwards eh Isolte was sent flying to the ground.

The poor girl rolled around in the snow several times until she stopped about twenty paces away from me.

"Well done Gino!!" Eris's voice echoed in my ears.

I just looked at my sword in shock and I looked back at Isolte

The girl was shaking on the ground and was getting up with difficulty.

"This has to be a fucking joke..." She declared in shock as she looked at the ground.

A smile formed on my face
