Mushoku tensei: The renegade heir

[please coment and give me power stones!!]

"!!!"

Before I even realized it, I had a sword at my neck, what the hell?!, but how?!...

It's cursed...maybe even faster than Wii Taa!!

"Well? Are you going to attack me now?" The guy muttered with a sadistic smile as he adjusted his stance.

"tch!..." I clicked my tongue in frustration unsheathing both my swords at the same time but before I could react I was disarmed...

"Oh?...The Sakka sword, as I recall, was in the custody of the Dedoldia...Did you steal it?..." Randolf muttered with murderous intent as he looked me up and down.

His movements were totally invisible to me and he wasn't even serious against me...I have no chance, what the hell did you get me into you fucking Hitogami!!

"I got trapped in the great forest during the rainy season and I helped them, that sword is a gift from them!!" I muttered while concentrating the mana in my hands.

"...fine, take it, you'll need it" Randolf said as he tossed me my sword and got into a fighting stance.

"Eh?..." He got into a position I had never seen before, it almost looked like a Karate pose...

His speed is greater than Wii Taa's so this guy must be at least Sword Emperor...

I have no chance against him... even with my most powerful spell I doubt I can beat him...

Fuuuu...but don't be hasty Paul...this guy is just testing you, right?, right?!...

"Haaa!!" With a battle cry I shot towards Randolf using wind magic to propel myself faster.

"Hmmm?... Impressive for your age" Randolf just muttered and my sword which was going straight for his neck continued until it fell to the ground next to me.

The guy just moved, he didn't counterattack or anything like that... I'm at his mercy.

"Tch!, take this!!" I screamed as I threw hundreds of hollow stone bullets at him but Randolf dodged each and every one of them, closing the distance between us in less than a second.

"Magic without enchantment! What kind of joke is this!!" He strutted, placing his sword on my neck in a smooth motion.

"Stand up, let's go again," he muttered with that sadistic, shitty smile and pulled away from me...

"Huh?...again?" The words came out of my mouth involuntarily as I looked straight at him.

"Of course, didn't you want to get stronger? Attack me and I'll see where you fail," he said, getting into combat stance again.

I see...this is what that bastard meant, huh?.

Without wasting any more time I lunged at him again, Randolf's eyes followed each of my movements, he could see me but I couldn't see him...

"Take it!!" I shouted and my sword went for his legs and Randolf stopped the attack in a millisecond, I had already expected this and used a Water God style technique and was able to slightly push his sword away.

"hmm?, Fascinating!" He said with glee, breaking the balance of my technique in an instant.

And with a simple movement he deflected my sword towards the ground where I fell, but I was already expecting this anyway...

I fell on my hands and using my own momentum I used my legs and kicked him in the hip which he stopped with his sword effortlessly.

"That's interesting..." He muttered and I fell to the ground and getting up without wasting any time.

"Young man...may I ask who your teachers were?" Randolf muttered with a surprised expression.

"...the North King Wii Taa and the Sword Saint Melissa" I declared while cleaning the dirt off of myself.

"So Wii Taa huh? Makes sense, let's continue" he muttered and instantly the guy disappeared from my sight.

Where did he go?!...

This time not even my instincts were quick enough to alert me and I felt a metallic blow to my ribs and went rolling on the floor.

Shit! If I keep this up, this bastard will keep treating me like his punching bag...

I quickly conjured two stone bars as hard as I could make them and with wind magic I threw them at Randolf.

The guy dodged the first one and split the second one which exploded and turned into a thick mist.

"Hmm, perfectly executed, keep it up!" The guy said as if he was encouraging me.

I couldn't even see him anymore and the guy wasn't moving...

(swuuush!!)

With a flick of his sword the smoke was literally split in half and dispersed and out of it came Randolf heading towards me at a terrifying speed.

"nngh!!" I barely had time to react and created a wall of earth and rose into the air using a Sonic boom.

Randolf destroyed the wall with a single blow and was surprised to see me in the air.

"You never cease to amaze me little one!!" He shouted and immediately his sword flew towards me...

"Shit!!...haa!" I screamed and threw Sakka at him in the same way, luckily my sword intercepted Randolf's and broke it right in half and charged straight at the guy.

I could see genuine surprise momentarily in Randolf but it didn't last long as he dodged the sword without difficulty.

Shit and now I'm unprotected why do I doubt this guy will stop if he only has a sword.

"Well let's finish here! You broke my sword!" Randolf said making an X with his arms which only left me deeply confused.

The surprise was such that I momentarily lost control of my spell and fell to the ground with a thud.

"nngh...what do you mean that's all?" I muttered as I picked up my sword and started looking for the sword my father had given me years ago.

"Well, just as you heard it, I didn't expect your sword to do... that, but it was a nice sparring" he muttered with a manic smile.

"A sparring match?! I was giving my all there!" I grumbled.

"Well that's obvious, you're barely a double saint and I'm a triple emperor, we don't have the same abilities" Randolf muttered with a smile.

"W-wait what? What did you say? D-double saint?!" I muttered in shock.

"Uh yeah, why? Don't tell me you were barely an advanced student?" He grumbled, crossing his arms.

"Well yes! I was barely an advanced triple when I trained last time with my teacher," I muttered sadly as I remembered my mansion.

"Hmmm, and how long ago was that?" Randolf asked while scratching his chin.

"About five months ago," I said, and Randolf's eyes widened.

"Five months huh?...well, congratulations..." Randolf muttered, stopping momentarily.

"Paul" I replied.

"Paul! From today I, Randolf Marianne, declare you North Saint and Water Saint!" Randolf said and raised his hands dramatically in the same manner.

I just stared at him in total shock, double saint?...

"B-but tell me please...what is your criteria for naming me a saint? What did you notice in me during our fight?" I murmured desperately.

"That's easy, your use of Flow was so flawless that you moved my guard momentarily, only powerful warriors can do that what makes you a water saint and also your traps truly caught me off guard twice, That footwork and combining magic and swords makes you without a doubt a North Saint" Randolf explained as if it were the simplest thing in the world while I listened to him completely in shock.

"But I never learned Flow...how can I run it?!" I muttered, totally confused.

"You didn't learn it then?...but I would never make a mistake about that. Maybe you use it instinctively and don't even realize it! But now it will be easier to use if you concentrate more!"

"And what about the Sword God style?" I muttered.

"You have the speed of a saint, but your body is unbalanced and that will make you unable to make a long sword of light soon, But I can help you fix that," Randolf murmured with a smile.

"Would you really teach me?" I asked.

"Of course, you genuinely surprised me and besides, you're too young, you have tremendous potential to tap into and it would be a shame to waste it," he said in a serious tone and I nodded but then I remembered Hilda and my group.

"Hah...I really appreciate the offer but...I'm just passing through this city, my group and I will leave today" I muttered defeated.

"Are you leaving today?...well that's a shame...however you have enormous potential, I dare say I can make you a sword saint before the day is out..." Randolf muttered and a horrible smile formed on his face.

...

Without hesitation I accepted his proposal, but not before returning to the outskirts of the city to tell the others about what had happened and every one of my traveling companions were shocked when i revealed to them that i was already a double saint.

After this, they obviously flooded me with questions, but I only responded that a triple emperor named Randolf evaluated me and that I would now take a couple of classes with him and that we would leave at night.

Fortunately everyone nodded and even Hilda and Laws wanted to go with me so I let them But when we arrived and saw Randolf, they immediately regretted it but managed to maintain their composure.

"Okay Paul, attack me with the fastest silent longsword you can create," Randolf muttered as he got into a Water God style stance, ready to use Flow.

I could feel Roxy and Laws' eyes behind me, expectant of what I would do.

"Fuuuu...let's do this" I muttered to myself and closed my eyes to concentrate.

I crouched slightly, holding my Sakka sword in both hands, the tip slightly facing the ground...

"Haa!" With a simple shout and wind magic at my feet I shot towards Randolf.

I jumped about ten meters in less than a second and when I started to fall it was time.

Using my same momentum and the moment of my fall I raised my sword and let it fall on Randolf.

As expected my sword was repelled, but as if in Dragon Ball the guy's feet landed on the ground due to the force of my attack.

"haaa...haaaa..." I was instantly breathless as I looked expectantly at Randolf who was struggling to get his feet off the ground.

"As I said before, you have the speed of a sword saint, but your body needs to balance. I noticed just now that your sword is pointing slightly at the ground, and that makes it harder to maneuver when it comes to attacking, "Also, your right foot is firmer than your left when running, in short, your grip is loose and you are slightly limping," Randolf murmured.

"Am I limping? Me? But how? My legs are perfect..." I muttered, clapping both of them at the same time.

"That's true, your legs are 90% fine, but it seems there's something wrong with one of them..." Randolf muttered, analyzing me as he walked in circles.

They stopped me trying to find the cause of why I supposedly limp...

And my mind clicked in an instant.

"The great forest..." I murmured, looking at the sky.

"Hmm? What's with the big forest?" Randolf muttered, raising an eyebrow.

"Have you heard about the mana disaster there?" I muttered.

"...yes, but it wasn't that long ago, were you affected by that?" He asked.

"Yes, and I teleported to the sky, I was able to stop my fall, in part, but when I fell my legs were shattered and I used advanced healing magic to repair them... I thought they were 100% But from what you're saying then no" I muttered.

"Hmm that could be plausible, I've heard that healing magic isn't always that accurate" Randolf muttered scratching his chin.

"...I'm sorry, but that discrepancy in your balance is the only thing holding you back...I'm sorry I can't help more," he murmured with genuine sadness.

"No...Randolf...cut off the leg that you see is the wound please, a clean cut in case everything goes wrong" i declared seriously.

"Huh? What do you want me to do? I can't do that to anyone who deserves it," the guy said, crossing his arms.

"Please, I'll use Saint-rank healing magic to grow a new leg, and besides, you said it would be a shame if my potential couldn't be tapped?!" I complained.

"...okay...just walk a little so I can see where it is" the guy said and I nodded.

I walked a total of ten steps from left to right and Randolf nodded at the end.

"Your whole right thigh," he muttered, unsheathing his sword and the blade disappeared from my sight in a second.

One second...two seconds...three seconds and I fell to the ground.

I didn't even feel the cut and I already knew what had happened and using my own left hand to bite it, I let out a cry of intense pain.

Roxy and Laws were pale behind me, they had heard the conversation but that didn't make it any less shocking.

"Quickly, kid! Here's your leg!" Randolf said as he brought my amputated leg closer to my.

She had been cut just below the knee and was bleeding profusely.

Without wasting any more time, I set aside Randolf and a golden glow formed in my hand which then enveloped my amputated leg and then the glow transformed until it became dense below my knee and instantly a new leg grew on me leaving only a thin layer of blood on my knee.

"Fascinating...you really were telling the truth!!" Randolf said and took the shoe off my amputated leg passing it to me.

When I put it back on I looked behind me at Laws and Roxy whose faces were pale but relieved.

I slowly got up from the ground feeling my regenerated leg, I didn't notice a single change, it was as if everything was normal, as if it had never been cut in the first place.

"Hmm? I see... so that was really it." Randolf muttered seriously as he looked at me.

"Do you notice anything different?" I muttered, confused.

"Definitely your previously slightly tilted position is now completely upright as it should have always been," Randolf said and then got into a fighting stance.

"Okay, attack me again with all your might!" He said while looking at me with that scary smile that made me shudder.

"Fuuuu...here we go again" I muttered to myself, crouched slightly and got into a fighting stance.

(Pooow!!!)

The distance between Randolf and me was closed in less than a thousandth of a second, even I was surprised, I had never gone so fast...

"Haaa!!" With a war cry my sword approached his neck but...I felt that i was holding back.

Yes, I felt like I wasn't giving my all, but why?!

Why do I feel like I'm holding back against this guy?!

When my sword was millimeters from Randolf's neck he simply moved slightly to the right and my blade sliced through the air, but I had expected this.

With a twist in the air I positioned myself to land on all fours and quickly regain my posture.

"Give it your all this time!" I shouted to myself, My knees buckled, my grip on my sword tightened, and I lunged at Randolf instantly.

Again the distance between us was closed in less than a blink of an eye and I made a vertical cut towards his neck.

But nothing came out...no, my own sword blurred from my sight and the world turned black and white.

My brain couldn't react to my own speed, Randolf blocked my attack effortlessly and I crashed to the ground at a terrifying speed and then i passed out.

That was the first time I executed a long sword of ligth.
