Realizing what the old man said it was confirmed that the Dead Fog’s Mountain was some time warping/rewind stuff
“We shall continue training” as he started to walk to a dojo
“This is where we will be dueling” The old man then walks to a rack of wooden katanas and tossed one to me and just as I touched the sword the old man, surprisingly, charged towards me with incredible speed
And my some force I blocked it with the wooden katana
The block created so much force that I gush of wind could be felt across the entire dojo
The old man surprised then stopped his combat
“You have already mastered the arts of the unseen blade” as he looks satisfied while stroking his long white beard
“Wait, but we barely even started to do anything”
“The way you blocked my attack was more than enough prove”
“But my attribute for wind is Level o-”
“You generated a wind barrier around the blade in which helped fortify the blade and to add on to that you have also add more wind resistance to my attack, causing my attack to dampen”
“If you haven’t done what you just did now, you would have died as well as broken a sword”
“Also what did you say about your attribute and level?”
“Oh nothing”
“Oh alright then,” the old man leaving with no other question asked
I stood there surprised that I had somehow mastered the arts
“Was it from the monster” I wondered to myself
I then check my stats

YES NO

“Nice!” I was an unconsciously grinning
“What is the matter, boy” as the old man turned to see me grin
“Oh, nothing, old man” as I swiped the grin off my face
“Alright, then let's get you out of here”
“Sure!”
I put my sword away and followed the old man out to the entrance of the temple
Once I arrived, I saw the old man hold a cloak, which he handed it over to me
“What is this” as I accepted the cloak with both of my hands
“I thought it would be nice to give you something, and I decided to give you this cloak since it seems that you are wearing one right now”
“Though this cloak doesn't look as nice as the one you have right now, it will serve in your journey”

“Thank you old man”
“Now how do I get out”
“Oh, you just walk out the door” the old man replied
“Wait, do I don’t do anything, but just walk out the door?!”
“Precisely, young man”
“So you are saying that if I was fast enough, I could just walk right out the door”
“Yes” as he chuckled
I chuckled with him, “Anyway, thank you for everything you have done”
“I will come by and visit when I have time” as I saved goodbye
“That boy sure is something, isn’t he, Old Man Gus”
“Now, now you don’t have to be like that, Marie”
“So why did you do to the mountain while I was waiting”
“Oh nothing” Marie replied
“It is my mountain anyway”
“Even if it is your mountain, there is still the risk of endangering others”
“Well no one got ‘endangered’ now did they”
“I guess you're right”
“So why did you get rid of your own statue in the temple?”
“Oh, reason?”
“LIke?”
“You know what, old man, I will tell you when the time is right”
“Alright, then”
“Maybe I will see you again once I have Yasu with me”
“Yasu? Oh, you mean the young boy, well alright then”
“See you when the time comes” as they waved each other goodbye and Marie disappears
“Now I gotta get back to fix the mountain, man, I’m too old for this” as old man Gus makes his way to fix the mountain
