Seeing that his daughter was so excited about swordsmanship, Koji felt like he could cry with joy.

"That last move is a little like what you did at the start. Where you evaded my notice and closed the gap. Think of it as something similar but while you’re evading their notice, you proceed to strike at their wrist, causing them to drop their sword or any weapon they’re holding. It’s a little harder to disarm two handed weapons but if you’re quick enough, it should be possible." Koji said with a smile while Shiro listened intently.

"Hmm... the martial arts that I used mainly focused on evading your notice rather than doing something in that time. I’ll need to practice some more for me to be doing something else in that moment then." Shiro nodded.

"Speaking of practice, I’ve noticed something with your sword techniques. You like to move around a lot. And I mean A LOT. You over complicate the moves that you want to do such as using your portal move. You can use your portal to bait people into thinking that you’re about to move but you continue. You can even use your martial arts to evade their notice so that they think you’re in the portal when in reality you’re in front of them.

"Second point I want to bring up is that there is a gap between you using your magic and sword. Rather than everything being fluid and you moving from form to form such as in martial arts, it’s like you take a break, change your gear, then continue. If you really want to use magic and swords together, you need to get rid of this break otherwise people can take advantage of that gap. In terms of opportunities for me to strike at you, there were more when magic was involved." Koji chuckled.

"So you were holding back in the end dad." Shiro sighed.

"Of course. What kind of parent goes all out when sparring with their kid." Koji laughed and patted Shiro’s head.

"Anyways, your mother should be finishing up soon. We have about 5 to 10 minutes give or take so I can probably run through a few more spars with your party members. I want to personally see what their potential is like." Koji glanced towards the party with narrowed eyes as they felt a shiver down their spine.

It was the same kind of feeling as when Shiro was letting the pope test out the new simulators.

Completely sadistic!

"Ah I’m a tank so I’m fine." Madison looked away.

"I’m a healer, I don’t go on the front lines." Silvia coughed.

"I’m a mage so I don’t really need to use a sword." Aarim waved her hand with a forced smile.

"I’m a ..."

Seeing Shiro’s party make excuses after excuses, Koji shrugged his shoulders.

"When a monster sneaks around your party or decides to attack from the back, how will you deal with them? You can probably sense their mana signatures but here’s the problem. In the front lines, there are now monsters and demons that avoid all forms of detection, what will you do when they approach you? So even if you’re a healer, you need to learn proper self defence. And as you can see, who better to learn it from than me?" Koji smiled darkly.

Before the party could say anything, Shiro flickered behind Silvia and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Why don’t you be the first?" Shiro smiled in a similar manner as Koji.

’Like father like daughter.’ Was Silvia’s last thoughts.
