“It is real visualization... isn’t this the realm of a Sword Saint?”

The Dragon Killing Sword and Kraugel’s Heart Sword contained the same concept. This meant that by learning the Dragon Killing Sword, he was qualified to be a Sword Saint. Grid wasn’t happy. He felt uncomfortable. He was worried that he would take away Kraugel’s pride and self-esteem.

Hayate laughed as he read the complex emotions on Grid’s face. “As expected. In the present era, you are filled with misunderstandings about the Sword Saint.”

“Huh?”

“Heart Sword isn’t the measure of a Sword Saint. It is just one of the numerous swordsmanship that a Sword Saint can create.”

“...?”

“Even if Dragon Killing Sword contains the same concept as the Heart Sword, it doesn’t mean you can enter the realm of a Sword Saint just by learning it.”

“......”

“In this day and age, the weight of the name Sword Saint is too light. Perhaps it is because Sword Saint Kraugel of the current era is still in the development stage.”

Hayate smiled. It was because Grid’s eyes had become a bit fierce. “Don’t get me wrong. I don’t intend to demean Kraugel.”

“What are you saying... I’m not misunderstanding.”

‘Do you know what type of expression you’re making?’

Hayate vaguely inferred the relationship between Grid and Kraugel and smiled. “Bluntly speaking, Dragon Killing Sword is different from Heart Sword. You are misunderstanding the concept of embodiment and willpower. Willpower is the heart trying to accomplish something while visualization means expressing the state of the mind. It is about the image encompassing the will.”

“If it encompasses it... are you implying that the Dragon Killing Sword is a higher level of swordsmanship than the Heart Sword?”

If Hayate was a normal person then he would absolutely say no. However, Hayate was a Dragon Slayer.

“Yes.”

“Pant...”

“Just, it is still incomplete. Since it is affected by the user’s state of mind, sometimes it can’t exercise its power. Strictly speaking, it is a skill that requires a higher level of difficulty than the Heart Sword.”

“...!”

It was like a bolt from the blue to Grid. It was more difficult than Heart Sword?

‘How can I learn that?’

Grid was at least intelligent enough not to overestimate himself. He was convinced that his talent wouldn’t allow him to learn the Dragon Killing Sword.

“Don’t worry. As I said, I’m not trying to pass on the Dragon Killing Sword. I just want to teach you infinite sword energy.”
