Chapter 177: The Isleans Training (2)
After observing him for a week just doing the same thing from the first day he was serious of learning yet he was enjoying it at the same time there is a smile on face even before the training start, during the training we will suddenly smile not in a weird way a smile that we was enjoying it like a game, then after the training he will smile and his mouth with words creating a conversation about the training haha I am glad? his just my disciple for a week yet a bond? or I get fond of his eagerness to learn it fast and enough to be called good or almost great.
We been starting the training at 7 of the morning and will end always at 3 of the afternoon, a straight 8 hours of training without rest as we stayed in the same place at the plainland and his speed of striking is getting faster especially if he kind laugh, like a psychopath or a laugh of a warlord maybe? and the grip on his baston I notice it look like he was holding it gently that a single grip of someone else can take that away yet, I tried to do that and how the heck its so hard or the grip was SOLID.
Is it Illusion? or is he using other power he have than physical strength? I guess there is something wrong or strange but let us ignore it and there is another thing I notice the trajectory of his strike is changing after one strike to another, even if its a tiny bit change the path of the strike still necessary to be observe by the who did it & by the one who gonna receive it and, his footwork I just teach him the linear footwork yet by himself his trying to do 3 other footworks the Triangular, Diagonal, and Circular I know at other swordsmanship or martial arts it was being taught to but his applying it to Eskrima already.
A week had already passed so it's time to change the scenery of the field and go somewhere else which is much suitable & hard for the techniques I will teach to him, he was at my side right now observing the surrounding we are passing by as we are entering the forest and going towards to the foot of a mountain near here which have such rough path and rocky area, also I will increase 8 hours into 10 hours a day right now and for 2 weeks none of us will go back at the palace so it mean both of us will live here at the wild for 2 weeks haha hmm.
We have arrived at the peak of the mountain which it have numerous rocks around of it and obstacles that can be a problem for our training but that's the point as I throw his doble baston at him it was already at his hands in just a couple of sec, a week from the plainland now will change into 2 weeks at the mountain & forest as I twirl my bastons at my hands and stared at him.
" Your priority to learn here are the Circular Footwork, the Redonda & Abanico Striking techniques, and the Wing & Roof or Umbrella Blocking techniques." I said as he nods his head and I guess these would be a good combo-techniques for him and my hands starts doing a double-stick twirling style while moving around of him as he was slowly observing every move I do while his moving around too.
" Redonda is a nonstop, circular, down-ward striking, and a double-stick twirling style you used be fast to use this striking technique do you understand Amaris." I added moving around towards him while striking him at the same time with my bastons as it is fast striking down-ward and in a circular path with nonstop of striking even if I take a turn the strike still go on as my hands twirling them before & after the strike then again as it repeat and the speed I increase one by one.
" Yes Master Luka." Amaris replied as he was moving backward yet still moving around competing with me as his bastons just do a x-blocking and he was like pushing my strike sometimes upward, sidewards, and forward as he almost trip cause of a big rock behind him yet he flips over still I continue attacking him as his steps hmm his avoiding even the small pebbles around as.
" My suggestion for you while using the Redonda partner it with Circular footwork, you should move around to avoid being cornered by the enemies in a tight place or like this a rough & rocky area, by 'shuffling' the rear leg either left or right and then continue to move clockwise or counter-clockwise." I continued as Amaris change his movement & footwork as how I said he was the one pushing me backward now yet I take a turn one by one as my strike is getting faster resulting for him to roll over the ground and stood up again.
" The wing block is used against strike towards the left side of the body, it can be high wing, middle wing, or low wing. For the roof or umbrella block, it is good a blocking technique good against attack towards the crown." I explained yet he was being push back again while his defense is getting tougher still his offense is nothing to be notice all defense only.
" Sorry Master Luka but, hehe maybe I need hours to passed or days to apply these recommended techniques of yours in a enough state, still no need to feel disappointed I am observing everything right now." Amaris uttered so he admit it's hard to learn this immediately especially in this kind of area yet he didn't even complain and just compromised to be better later on.
" I understand and next, is the Abanico striking technique, a strike that's carried out through flipping the wrist in a hundred and eighty degrees in a fan-shaped movement. This type of strike can be especially quick and can come from unanticipated angles, do you hear every word I said Amaris." I look at him and he falls down to the ground as the edges of my baston at his throat yet he just scratch his head and smiled.
" Yes Master Luka and, let us do it again." He stood up and bows his head hahaha shit we are just years apart from each other age haha ahem I guess patience is the answer for this training regime.
" Good and make sure after a week you will now fall even once, I'm warning you if this happen again after a week then the training will end." I ended as I look at him seriously giving him a strict treatment right now and he nods his head as face starts getting serious too.
A hour passed he is still falling down, another hour he even roll down a couple of meters at the peak, hours passing by he still have failures yet he always dodges my attacks only this area we are standing on is his bad luck, after 10 hours already of training we took a rest and go down from the peak towards the foot of the mountain as eat & rested for 2 hours yet, hmm we was trying or copying my movements earlier but in a slow & smooth way like time slow down.
We continued doing it again and again but 5 hours at the peak and 5 hours at the middle of the forest as even going down from the mountain we still continue the training hahaha am I the only one seeing the empress of Acun like this, falling down, being tripped, and bumping to the trees also being slide hahaha yet he didn't complain along with doing his own training without every night for 2 to 3 hours at least in a slow & smooth way for a whole week here.
As a week already passed again since the start of his training Amaris still have a smile on his face while I can see some scratches, bruises, and callouses on his hands & feet wait shit we are only barefoot while training him at the mountain and the forest but, I know his magic can take all away yet he didn't I can sense the pain he been receiving yet why not heal it?
" Amaris as I warned you before if you fall down again the training would end." I stated as we are back again at the peak and he have his face filled with determination as I can't spot any carelessness at him even his was indulges on a serious victory?
" Yes Master Luka." He replied, Amaris? what the!? he was taking the first move wait wait his striking was nonstop and completely circular & down-ward as his feet moving around like everything here is just flat or he was like floating or something ignoring the existence of this rocky area the bastons twirling at his hand and the time I was going to strike to his left side which I can see a flaw he block it with a middle wing block then he was pushing me back & cornering me I tried to strike back again yet a umbrella blocking, ahh a shield blocking, inward & outward vertical blocks along with downward inward & outward blocks he did it all against my strikes.
" Impressive you are learning well and, Amaris do you think you can win ahahaha let us se-" I was not done talking yet he thrust his baston towards me and I was distracted as his other baston flicks my right hand at its wrist making me drop one of my baston he was so fast and so strong as he was treating this as a duel a chaotic & bloody duel right now, as this phase continue for an hour and I-I fall down...huh his baston at my throat as he tilted his head and smiled.
" I won and, let us continue again Master Luka." He have such smiled and a face showing a glorious happiness hahaha like it won a war as I know for sure his holding himself from celebrating hahaha it's his first time to win against me especially he lost many times for a whole week and always tie on our first week of training, I nod my head and stood up once again as our battle I mean training starts once again.
From the peak to the forest hahaha we never fall, slide, bump, trip, and roll hahaha he is fighting me like we are in a absolute equal footing now as he was attempting to surpass my speed and my strength even he can't do it for now, I'm sure after years we will surpass my current self but I will surpass myself too so I will still win...in Eskrima only but if it's a battle of full-potential nah I rather die due to old age.
2 weeks already passed the training at the wild truly worth it and over a week is the remaining time for me training him yet he have a smile and talkative hahaha even I can't stop talking with him after we go back at the palace, Melena, Dyren, and the others saw Amaris state...I didn't do it on purpose ouch! I'm being abuse again by my abuser and Dyren & his soldiers are being restraint by Amaris it's part of training wait I been to rough to Amaris and, he didn't even heal himself cause...is this all planned, Amaris is this your revenge to your MASTER!
I can't accept this! such treatment! I wanna know why, why! WHY!!! who decided to give me such harsh life with these people ahhhhhh!
