Foundation of Sword Fiend

Rishi was in a dilemma as he looked at Sheru in front of him, who was in a trance state. It was very rare to enter this state, and whenever someone did, he could improve rapidly. He knew this was a fortuitous encounter that his contracted beast had earned himself, but he couldn't help but get worried about its health. It had lost a lot of blood, and its situation was critical. At worst, he could lose his life in a trance state. He now needed to decide whether to stop it and save its life while snatching away this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from it or let him completely utilize it by risking its life.

The decision was tough; he activated his 'Extreme Focus' and started thinking of an alternative way. From what he could see, he could only go on for two minutes in this state. His mind started calculating various ways and their results. One minute passed, but he could not think of a way to escape this situation. Despite not being involved, he was sweating heavily.
