Chapter 490: Grasping the fifth movement [2]
‘To master the fifth and final movement, one must assimilate the light psyons in the air toward their sword.’
‘The last movement is not something that anyone can pull off comfortably. It’s a movement that does not need the body to do anything. Let the psyons do the work, and let the sword flow naturally.’
Recalling the words imprinted inside of my mind, I tried my best to keep myself focused as I gathered the light psyons toward me.
There wasn’t much I knew about the fifth movement of the Keiki style.
However, from the little words and images inside of my head, I knew that it heavily relied on light psyons.
This was why at the moment, I had gathered all my focus toward the air, trying my best to agglomerate all the light psyons toward my sword.
The process was very slow, however, with due time, the sword in my hand started to become brighter and brighter.
Before I knew it, the glow coming out from the sword was so bright that it made it difficult for me to keep my eyes open.
“Khh…”
‘Not yet.’
Trying my best to remain in this state, beads of sweat started to drip down the side of my face. It may have been because the room was quiet and that I was currently focused on trying to gather the light psyons in the air, but the dripping sound of the sweat hitting the ground deeply resonated inside of my head.
Drip. Drip.
The state of my mind was like that of a calm lake. Rippleless.
“Huuuuu…”
Uknowingly, the surroundings disappeared from my view, and all I saw was pitch-black darkness.
I couldn’t exactly describe the state that I was in, however, at the moment, it felt as though I was one with the mana in the air.
My breathing stopped, and my hand started to move. Grasping the hilt of the sword, I slowly pulled away.
Click—!
A subtle clicking sound rang out, and the room flashed in white.

“Been a while.”
Jin said as he entered the training grounds and nodded in Amanda’s direction. Glancing around the place, he commented.
“Not bad…”
“Thank you.”
Amanda replied as she handed Maxwell her towel.
Staring at Jin, her brows slowly started to crease.
“Why did you want to meet me here? My office would’ve been a more appropriate setting for our discussion.”
“It would’ve been a waste of time.”
“Hm?”
Amanda tilted her head. Obviously confused by Jin’s answer. Before she could reply, Jin started to speak. A slight smile hung on his lips.
“I never took you for a scheming one, back then I didn’t realize why you agreed to the deal so easily, now I know,” Slowly, his eyes started to narrow. “…It’s because of those magic cards.”
“Ah.”
Amanda thought back at the time when she made a deal with Jin.
Pre-Coference.
A slight smile emerged on her lips.
“Circumstances were different back then, you still benefitted from the deal.”
“I guess you’re right,” Jin softly mumbled in an almost inaudible voice.
He couldn’t deny her words, that said, if he had to be honest, looking at things now, the deal wasn’t as good as he thought it was back in the past.
Secretly, he shook his head and cut straight to the chase.
“Amanda, the reason why I’m here is because we’ve located a big supply station near the outskirts of the Northen district. We’re still monitoring the situation closely, but it looks like we need to join hands to complete this mission.”
Listening to Jin’s words, Amanda’s brows creased a little as she fell into deep thought.
“Supply station?”
Raising her head to meet Jin’s eyes, she asked.
“What do you need us to do exactly?”
“Nothing too straining.”
“Elaborate.”
“I just need a couple of
