One More Time: Rebirth 42 Heavenly Sword Faction

"I thought you were a part of the Heavenly Sword Faction and was sent here to kill me," Setsuna answered with a stern expression on his face.

"So you mistook me for one of your enemies, why?"

"The sword techniques that you use are similar to the techniques the Heavenly sword faction uses. Though some of your techniques are somehow different... The overall feeling they emit seem the same, so I a.s.sumed that you were one of them."

"You mean the techniques of my created sword style, the Moon Edge style has similarities with the swordsmans.h.i.+p of the Heavenly Sword Faction?"

'Here I thought that I was the one who came up with these moves, looks like someone has the same style. Then do I still tell them I created the style? Well, now that I think about it if the sword style Setsuna was using came from the Heavenly Sword Faction, then maybe our styles are only similar but not the same.' While I was thinking, Setsuna looked as confused as I was.

"Moon Edge Style?... A style you created, how are you able to create your own style, are you lying to me?" Well, telling you the truth wouldn't make you believe me. I sighed internally before I answered.

"Tsukiyomi helped me make it. She's an Ethereal and is much older than you think she is."

"I don't know what an Ethereal is, but I believe you when you say she's much older than how she looks. There are people back in my country that are the same." When Setsuna said those words I was about to ask about his country but then I felt an overbearing presence approach. I know only one person that has such a presence.

"Kukuku, what a nice conversation you two are having. Might this YOUNG lady join in the fun." As I expected it was Tsukiyomi.

"So little warrior from the Eastern Kingdom, what did you say, I couldn't hear it properly." Tsukiyomi was showing a bewitching smile to Setsuna, which resulted in the boy's ever stern face to sweat a lot. 'The eastern Kingdom, so another human kingdom I wonder what kind of skills they possess.'

Setsuna's POV:

"So little warrior from the Eastern Kingdom, what did you say I couldn't hear it properly." The otherworldly beauty called Tsukiyomi was smiling at me, but that didn't make me happy. Instead, I was afraid as I felt my back sweating.

The first time I saw this person I could already guess she was of a different league from me. She was like those masters back in the Eastern Kingdom. Now that I'm facing her, I could really feel that overwhelming presence that could crush me with a wave of her hand.

"Nothing, my lady, I said nothing." I couldn't help myself but answer like that. She was at the level of a master, she may be nearing grandmaster level.

"Oh, is that so. Then are you telling me, Edge and I copied the inferior techniques of the Heavenly Sword Faction?" The moment I heard her call the techniques of the Heavenly Sword Faction inferior, I felt a sort of anger swelled within me. Even though I was cast aside by the faction and needed to leave my own kingdom, I cannot have someone insult it.

"You might be strong my lady, but the Heavenly Sword Faction isn't something you can look down upon. Even if you joined you'll be at least a master level instructor. But you will never be a Grandmaster or an Immortal level instructor."

When I said those words I was ready for her to kill me. But instead, she started to laugh, while Edge that was standing beside her, was showing a vicious grin on his face. I could feel his battle intent rising. This was not the reaction I was expecting, were the two of them insane?
