Having summoned their weapons both the lasses charged at each other swinging their swords with their respective sword arts. Tammy met Corey in the middle of the arena as both of their swords clashed and an agony filled cry filled the arena.
*cryyyyy!!!*
*click*
The cry was followed by the sound of a sword breaking into two.
*Thud*
Having her sword broken in two Tammy lifelessly fell to her knees in despair. Her eyes were blank, unaware of what was happening around her she gathered the broken half of her sword and stood up. Caressing the sword Tammy remembered all the times this sword has saved her and withstood numerous life and death encounters but today it gave up. Glancing at Corey with helplessness Tammy opened her mouth, ” I S…”
“No, don’t.” Before Tammy could surrender, Corey interrupted her and asked her not to surrender. Which Surprised Tammy and the Audience watching.
In the audience watching Corey summon Claymore and display flawless sword art, William, who was seated in the Bright Family VIP lobby, asked his second son, ” When did my granddaughter get so good with swords? Why is my granddaughter using a common grade item sword and when did you buy her a rare grade skill sword art?”
“Except for the card creation lesson, she was taught basic physical fitness exercises. She never learned swordsmanship or other combat arts. Mother thought melee combat or any form of combat was not suitable for Corey’s personality. So we only focused on teaching her Card creation.
As for the sword Corey is using I have never seen such a sword and I did not buy her a rare grade sword, nobody could have. As far as I know, the last rare grade sword art appeared 3 years ago in the guild mall.” Oliver was confused as the sword art used by Corey was a high-level sword art with a very high mastery level, which would require the user to have a strong sword foundation but to his knowledge, Corey hid not touch a word her entire life.
Hearing Oliver, William went into deep thought because the flawless execution of the sword art show by Corey can not just be achieved by equipping cards. One has to train in the way of swords to get that good. Not to mention his granddaughter has zero foundation in sword arts.
…
William’s suspicions were right. Corey Bright had zero foundation in sword arts. And Oliver was also right he had never seen a ‘tainted one’ sword or the ‘Sword mudra’ sword arts in the market as they never existed in this world until yesterday when Corey created these cards.
Though Corey Bright had zero foundation in sword arts Corey Park had a century worth of history and experience with sword making and sword arts. Using the memories of Corey park and her card creation expertise Corey Bright created the two cards ‘E-rank Item Card Tainted One’ and ‘A-rank Skill Card Sword Mudra’
Unlike the commoners who need to be a part of an organisation or join a college or a university to learn high level and various card creation techniques. Corey did not have to do so as her grandmother hired a prestigious college graduate Top silver graded card creationist to tutor her. Using her Card creation knowledge and Park’s blacksmith, swordswoman memories Corey Bright created these two and other cards with near perfection card ratings.
Corey Park’s memories and her experience as a blacksmith and martial artist were the reason behind Corey’s bold decision to establish a card studio next to Susan’s workplace.
…
“Don’t give up. Here take this card” Corey handed Tammy an E-rank card and added, “let’s continue.”
“…” Tammy did not take the card and hesitated. She felt a little humiliated.
“You wanted to show me and the world how far you have come, right. Do not let your anger stop you from doing that. Show me what you got.” Corey tried to persuade Tammy the best way she could interrupt Tammy’s hesitation. Corey knew Tammy was strong despite her low-grade grimoire, the only reason Tammy’s sword broke was because of its lacking durability rating. If Tammy had a good sword she would have given a better performance.
“Are you pitying me?” Tammy glared at Corey.
“No, I am just promoting my work. This sword is made by me in my Card studio. Just think that you are helping me promote my goods by taking my card. And later if possible please leave a good review. After all, the whole city is watching this tournament.” Corey knew one wrong word and her relationship with Tammy would lose all hope of salvation.
