Teacher Quest: Simo Hahya (4)
I mimicked him and watched carefully.
He squeezed his chest through the thick coat surrounding his body, protecting his small stature from the frigid and icy snow below.
I also squeezed my chest, but the only thing I felt was an uncomfortable pinching sensation appearing around where I was squeezing.
I wouldn't say it hurt; It was just weird.
"Don't just squeeze your chest. Think of squeezing your heart and stopping the beating of it. You don't want to physically stop it from beating, but you want it to just slow down. About three beats per minute is where you want it,"
"Huh? That's going to kill me,"
"That's the risk. I never said it was perfect… in fact, one time, I almost killed myself while practicing it, but you said you were ready, right?" He asked with his creepily cold eyes that seemed to stare at my soul.
His eyes were almost like an owl as they rarely blinked and seemed to be always gathering information.
