Luna was in the comfort of her couch as she watched the movie play on her 'Seventy-five Inch' TV screen she bought a few days ago after receiving her recruitment bonus. As of now, she had spent over three hundred credits buying the things she thought were necessary for her new life. Luna had upgraded her communicator with the money. Purchased a new gaming computer, a table for it, a pair of headsets, and a comfortable gaming chair that resembled the one she left at the estate. As a person who spent two years building a gaming career, these things were now a part of her. Yes. Wherever she goes, they come with her.

The new chair was far more superior in terms of design and everything else. As tempting as it was to sit on it and wear those headsets one more time, Luna decided to remain strong and focus on her so-called Adult Responsibilities. Which were not fun, by the way.

When the movie ended, Luna stood up and stretched before looking through her lesson plan.

She frowned. "No lesson today? How will these kids get good at combat if they give me only three lessons in a week? I should pass this on to Professor Graham the next time I see him," she grumbled to herself, put away the communicator, and stared blankly at the rolling credits.

Feeling exhausted—even though she did nothing the whole day—Luna decided to go take a warm bath to fix her spirit. On top of that, she also had plans to go out and explore different parts of Hansho.

When she was done heating the bath water, Luna removed her bathrobe and slowly submerged herself in the steamy water. It was not like the typical hot spring from the old world, but this was the closest technology could get.

This bathtub was by far her best purchase yet.

'Best sixty credits I've ever spent.' With that thought, Luna made a relaxed smile and stared at the ceiling. She leaned against the edge of the tub and let her mind wander off as the rest of her body relaxed.

The steam was blurring her vision so she closed her eyes instead.

'If only life could be this smooth.'

As that thought crossed her mind, a memory buried deep in her blood suddenly awakened…

Luna almost gasped when the darkness was replaced by the vibrant bright color of the sun. The warm air of the steam entering her nostrils disappeared, turning into cool wet air carrying the calm scent of green.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Her mood died instantly. 'Good, another memory.'

Luna was slightly stunned by the sudden change of scenery but managed to keep her cool. She gave herself a quick look around and noticed she was now in the body of a ridiculously tall man dressed in a green and blue ancient robe and standing on a stone platform in the middle of a...

Forest? Garden? She couldn't tell because she had no control over her body. In her right grip, she was surprised to see herself holding a unique ancient Jian that curved at the edge.

Another man was standing a few meters away from her, holding a similar weapon. He had olive skin, a great build, and brown eyes that now looked hazel in the sunlight. He also had a jerk face that beamed with absolute confidence as he smirked at Luna.

'I already don't like you.' Luna thought.

"Let's do this Jau." The man spoke as he held up his Jian and pointed it at Luna.

Of course Luna was not oblivious to what was going on. This happened to her so many times thanks to a little thing called fate. These episodes were the effects of the Generational Blood Type she happened to have inherited at birth. Its mysteries and mystical nature were yet to be explained because of how rare it was in humans. To most, those who inherited this blood type acquired very unique powers as Ascenders. While to Luna, she seemed to have inherited knowledge and superhuman strength.

For Luna, her blood traits allowed her the privilege to walk the same steps as those who came before her. Or something like that…

Her body might look young but it had years of combat experience etched within her core being because of that factor. The Feng Clan had always been a special family, even before Zenshi came into the picture and turned it into the powerhouse it is today. Luna's special ability—as one might call it—took her back in time through memories, giving her the true essence of the legacy she's inheriting.

Yes, it was cool and all. But a very hectic experience because of how random some of these memories came to her.

She watched through Jau Feng's eyes as her comrade lunged at her and swung his sword with great precision. As if knowing what he was going to do next, Luna dodged the sword with ease. Her comrade was shocked for a moment before he brought his sword back only to strike the surface of her sword.

"You're as predictable as always, Alaster," Luna spoke in Jau Feng's voice as she pushed her comrade back and closed the small gap between them in seconds.

Her weapon danced with her as she exploded into a myriad of attacks and calculated footwork.

Alaster struggled to keep up with the speed and strength of her attacks. His blade started to chip and crack before Luna's final swing shattered Alaster's weapon the moment he tried to parry her sword once again.

Shocked, Alaster froze for a moment as he watched his sword break into pieces of perfect silver.

Luna or Jau Feng saw the opportunity and ended their session with a blow to her comrade's gut. Alaster's eyes widened in painful shock as he gasped in pain and dropped what was left of his sword.

"Did you have to use that technique?" Alaster groaned, holding his stomach in pain. "You haven't even mastered it yet."

She smiled and dropped her sword which was immediately picked up by a servant who had been watching the fight in silence.

"The Dancing Maiden remains dangerous even though it is incomplete." Luna winked. "The trick behind it is footwork and equal division of physical strength across the entire body. The mind and body must be in sync for the Dancing Maiden technique to work gracefully. You see, the sword will simply follow the rhythm…making my strikes stronger than you think."

Alaster looked at her with a bleak expression and said:

"To hell with footwork…you're just a bookworm, Jau. Now that I've lost…"

Luna smirked and cut off the young man. "Yes…I love dumplings, kung pao chicken with rice, ramen, and sake…a lot of it. Don't forget the courtesan we agreed to. She's the best sword dancer in this village." Luna looked at her comrade and studied him for a moment. He was probably a young lord. "I know Min is expensive. But I also know you've been saving a lot of silver recently…"

Alaster immediately cursed as he slowly calculated how much money he was going to lose that day. He shouldn't have made a bet with someone who trains from the Wind Flower Sect. "You will pay for this." He forced a laugh.

"If you beat me I will."

As Jau's mouth moved, Luna remained silent as she marveled at how he used the technique.

'So this is the Dancing Maiden's true principles. Impressive…'
