Collide collide collide
The swords collided with each other, John attacked fiercely with all his strength and precision, the movements of the swords were smooth and fierce like the waves of the sea, Felicia defended effortlessly every blow that John gave with all his strength.
" first form
" second form
" third form
" fourth form
John masterfully executed the four forms of the sea-splitting sword, Felicia defended all the blows with one hand behind her back, Felicia didn't use any force, she gently defended John's attacks.
After several blows John became tired, they had been training all day without rest, he was now drenched in sweat, his hands were numb from holding the sword so much, unlike the previous trainings where John had to use a wooden sword, now he had a real sword with a very sharp blade.
" Very well," Felicia said nodding, John took a deep breath, "When will I be able to learn the fifth form of the Sea-Splitting Sword?" John asked with a determined look.
" Impeccable " Felicia declared, John frowned, "What do you mean, impecable ?" John asked, Felicia smiled "Don't be impatient, it's already surprising enough that you learned the first four forms of the Sea-Dividing Sword, Fernando, your father took twice as long as it took you to learn the first four forms" Felicia said.
"John, from the fifth form onwards, the use of water elements is crucial to unleash the art, that is, the four forms you learned are just techniques, they are far from being the art that divides the seas," John listened patiently to Felicia's words, "Auntie, what is the difference between the art and the technique I learned?" John asked.
Felicia raised her sword and a torrent of water snaked or spun around the blade, she lightly swung the sword and the torrent of water on the blade turned into a beam of water in the form of rising waves, the wave about half a meter high devastated the terrain and knocked down several trees, "This is a sword art, the first form rising waves, which you use is a technique, this is the difference between them" Felicia explained.
John was dazzled by the art of swordplay, "You don't need to worry, you will understand when you go through your first evolution, the difference between a primitive being and an evolving being is very big, it is even bigger than the comparison between a person with good vision and a person who was born blind" Felicia explained
Felicia thought for a moment and continued, "The world you know is just 10% of the real world. You are connected to the world only by your five senses, which are very limited. There are things that cannot be detected by your senses." Felicia looked at John with a smile on her face.
" Auntie , what is it that I as a primitive being can't see?" John asked, Felicia came closer, stroked John's hair and said, "You don't need to worry about that now, eventually you will discover what the mystical world is on your own" Felicia replied.
"Let's end the training, you have already reached your peak as a Primitive being, more training will be useless, go change, your father should be arriving soon" said Felicia.
John felt like these three months flew by, he missed his father so much.

In the late afternoon, when the sun was about to set, Catarina, Ceto, Felícia, Isa, Alex and John were in front of Venhorst Castle on the plains, in an open space.
In the same month that Fernando went to the capital, half a month later, Fernando contacted Catarina through a long-distance communication matrix in the capital, he informed her that he would come after two and a half months, he also warned that there was an advance for entry into the institute, knowing this, John trained during the three months that passed, he worked like crazy.
After this time, John managed to perfectly master the first four forms of the Sea-Splitting Sword Technique. He is confident that he will immediately learn the Sea-Splitting Art as soon as he undergoes his first evolution. Today would be the day that Fernando would finally return, and he is excited.
During the three months of Fernando's absence, John not only trained like crazy, there were moments he spent with Alex and Iza, and other moments John used to get to know the entire Venhorst territory .
John got to know the other regions that he didn't know, he got to know the regions under the custody of the other nobles, he also got to know the region where his mother Catherine Venhorst was born , John had the opportunity to meet his maternal family on this visit, to his chagrin, Felicia his mother was an only child and his mother John's maternal grandmother had already passed away, even when Catherine was younger than John now.
John explored the territory's agricultural fields, the metal mines, the forest, and the entire Venhorst countryside . Now John could roam the entire Venhorst territory with his eyes closed.
During this time, John occasionally received visits from the young talents of the water clan and the Bo Bárbara tribe , the visitors were Beatriz and Bo Bárbaro. John now had a little understanding of the two young geniuses from the two regions.
As time passed, Alex and Iza did not fall behind, although the two could not learn the art of the sea-splitting sword, they could still learn a similar art, the crescent sea sword, one of the versions similar to the sea-splitting sword, surprisingly Iza mastered the art a week before Alex, knowing this John gave Iza a gift as a prize.
John informed Beatriz and Bo Bárbaro that their entry to the institutes was brought forward during one of his visits, and in response, the two young talents opted to spend the rest of their time training behind closed doors.

After a while, a flying ark crossed the sky, the ark was a yellowish color, it looked like a futuristic ship from John's perspective, two wings with a wingspan of 6 meters held the body of the flying ark, it was 9 meters wide and 3 meters high, everyone recognized the flying ark at first sight, it was Fernando Venhorst 's ark .
