34 (34) Induction
Mists of blood bloated out the sky. Bodies of demons littered the red sand and amongst them one demon stood tall. His long claws covered in purple blood, atop its head a crown made of thorns sat and its red glowing eyes looked in my direction. It's body instantly shifted and warped towards me, with the demons face inches away from me I woke up.
Sweat dripped from Tasars back as he awoke. He looked around the room and noticed bunch of holy scriptures covering the walls as well as different types of weapons hanged on display boards. They seemed to be well made weapons. 'That must mean I am in the God of War section of the religious district.'
Then the door opened and familiar to Tasar man walked in. ''Good morning! Hope you feel alright, I can inform you the transfer of radiant energy from two gods has been successful!'' Captain strode in with a smile on his face. ''Now get up! Your training starts today! While receiving guidance from one of our senior members you are hereby relieved of your tithe duty. The time spent here in the service of the Church will count towards the tithe, so do not fret!'' He gestured for Tasar to get out of the bed, eager to start.
'Now, he looks to be more excited about this than you' The cloud floated up from Tasars sword, Captain seemed completely oblivious to it. 'So no one can see you?' Tasar questioned in his mind. 'Well obviously, do you think this great demon king would be so foolish to appear in front of just anyone?' Fluffy cotton candy floated around Captain Zamir who observed Tasar getting out of bed.
''Good, good! Now put these on and come outside.'' He tossed a bundle of clothes and left the room.
Tasar ignored the floating cloud of evil and picked up tossed clothes. They were long, red robes with insignia of the church of war on the chest. Material felt a little bit uncomfortable. 'Oh get over it, they were made to serve purpose and not for comfort.' Demon rolled his eyes, which looked quite funny, being mocked by a floating cotton candy.
'I wish he would just shut up sometimes.' Tasar thought. 'Oi, you know I can hear your thoughts.' The cloud flared up before being swatted away by the paladin in training.
Swiftly putting on clothes while considering the fact that he was naked... how did Tasar get undressed? He was not sure.
After dressing up he exited the room and followed his Captain through the stone corridors.
''Now, as our church and church of sex and pleasure being the two most influential ones, we have signed a pact that outlines our cooperation. We send our trainees for various positions to a shared area where they undergo sex training while they send their own trainees to undergo combat training. We will walk past it but there is no need for you to join as you are already a sanctioned sex magic caster.'' Captain opened a double door that led to a chamber which was split in half. On one side you had the priestesses of sex and pleasure fighting against instructors, on the other... well...
You had male trainees engaging in various sexual acts with slimes shaped as women, while the female trainees were being surrounded by tentacles. Duo swiftly walked past that chamber and walked into another room.
''This is where you will be starting. To commence your training you will have to learn our sword art. It's called Radiant Sword Art, simple right? I will show you the basics and as your understanding of it increases, more paths of the sword art will open up to you.'' Captain Zamir smirked as he unsheathed his sword. ''Prerequisite to learning this art is to have awoken Radiant Magic during coming of age. In your case tho, radiant magic was awoken thanks to divine intervention, remember when the two gods earlier on etched their marks onto your body? That was it.''
''Good morning Captain.'' One of the sexual magic students greeted him.
''Hmm? Ah yes good morning!'' Flustered his eyesight locked back onto Tasar.
''Anyway, the Radiant Sword Art can be used by single or two handed weapons but seeing as how you use a single handed sword we will stick with that. First you start by channelling your radiant magic into the sword, at first you will see no difference but with practice you will be able to create a sword aura. Once that happens you will officially become a sword bearer, before that you are considered a sword trainee. After becoming sword bearer your next target will be to become sword master, at that rank you are able to modify your learnt sword art. Each sword art acts more like a framework upon which you expand and that is why its difficult to switch or learn multiple arts at the same time, are you following me?'' He eyed Tasar.
''Yes sir!'' Tasar was busy taking mental notes.
''Good, after sword master is a sword saint, but that's far in the future. Radiant Sword Art is a 4-hit combo. It can start in two ways, first is a thrust to the centre of the body, bring your elbows back and do a diagonal slash from top left to bottom right, stop your blade at the end of the strike. Next you flip the blade and do a reverse diagonal slash then you let the momentum carry and you slice from left to right. After that you continue in one smooth motion by bringing your arms above your head and finishing with a powerful slice down the middle. Observe.'' He finished explanation and took a wide stance. In fast and fluid motion he moved exactly as he explained. Each strike and slice carried weight and power, air hummed as it was cut by his sharp blade.
''Now, we will discuss the second way of using the 4-hit combo after you learn this one. Take up your sword and begin!'' He stood to the side, clearly having high expectations.
'Now that is easy!' The cloud floated in front of Tasar.
'Easy? I think you have not seen how fast and smooth he was with it and I need to learn quick.' Tasar shot back.
'Bah back in my kingdom I was the best sword king!' He gloated.
'Oh I am suuuuure you were! After all you got stuck in a sword.' Tasar smirked.
'You dare insult me? ME!? I will show you!' His eyes flared up.

'W-wait a minute! How did that happen!?' The demon floated there while in shock.
'It is good that I can count on you!' Tasar pushed back the floating cloud that was baring its teeth at his face and tightly grabbed the sword. Not as awkward as he believed it would be, Tasar thrusted his sword in a similar manner to what the Captain showed him, which made Zamir drop his jaw...
