Training

              After the drastic night for the sparadox clan, the beautiful morning sun was already up, everybody was doing their daily duties, but as it is common in everywhere, news about the massacre of the sparadox clan started spreading like widefire, some were even going as far as to see for themselves, but the king armies were there to ward them off.

Savarus was already in the bucadox clan waiting for Bethany to finish changing to her training cloth, after some while she was out wearing pants and top.

"You look good in casual clothes" complimented Savarus.

"Thank you, let's begin I'm ready".

"Before we start, I want you to display some of your skills and I want you put all your agility in it, then I can tell you where you are having fault, so you can correct it".

"Okay" said Bethany with her eyes filled with determination. She quickly unsheathed her sword and stood upright, she swung her sword forward and turn it sideways, she twisted to her back and land a strike with force, cutting through the air, breeze could clearly be felt around the area. After some more display of skills, Savarus stopped her.

"You did good, but the fault you have is your way of fighting, your way of fighting is mostly base on defend and not attack, that's where the problem lies on, because if you are being attack by ten people at once, you won't be able to survive it, if you are just defending and not attacking, you will eventually wear yourself out".

"So what do you suggest" asked Bethany

"You are going to learn on how to increase your way of attack and not defence, so look at me closely and study my movement" said Savarus while unsheathing his sword, he started moving about quickly with his sword, spinning his body like if he was fighting against many opponents, he was swinging his sword, cutting through the air, moving quickly like if he was shadow fighting, his display was so quick and flawless that Bethany wasn't even able to catch anything from it, she was dumbstruck, her mouth was wide open.

"I hope you were able to picture everything in your head" asked Savarus.

"Do you really expect me to put everything in my head with that kind of speed you just display".

"I know you picked a thing or two, so show me" said Savarus.

Bethany didn't say anything, she just walked forward and draw out her sword, she stood there for about two minutes and still haven't figured out the first step.

"Are you going to stand there all day or are you going to do something, you know we don't have all the time in the world, right?". 

"I'm trying, do you know how fast you were moving, nobody would be able to follow up your movement, so I want you to give me some time".

"I slowed my movement because of you, so don't complain".

"You wished".

"This is so frustrating, just forget about that. I want you to attack me with all you have, that's the other way you are going to learn how to attack".

As Savarus said those words, Bethany was already feeling down because she knows she won't even land a strike in, but she didn't let that to discourage her from doing it, she was really determine to learn.

"I want you to answer this question before we start, why do you want to learn" said Savarus.

"I have told you already".

"I want to know it one more time".

"I want to learn so I can raise my clan back to his former glory".

"That's good, I want you to picture it this way when you start attacking me, the only thing stopping your clan from becoming number one is me, so come at me with everything you have if you want to succeed".

"Yes master" replied Bethany while quickly sprinting toward him for an attack, trying to take him unaware, but before her strike could even get close, he has already move from there. Her strike missed without any success, a sword could be seen already close to her neck".

"How are you going to raise your clan to it's former glory with this type of skill" asked Savarus "you have to excess your limit, try new way to attack, not those simple and predictable skill" just as Savarus was still speaking, he could feel something coming to his direction, he quickly move some step back and could see Bethany trying to clear him off his leg "you were at least quick on this attack, but still not quick enough".

Bethany was being frustrated because she clearly expected that attack to succeed although she didn't let it get to her, she continue swinging her sword in a fast pace, but all of them was being blocked by Savarus, he was only blocking and not attacking even when she was wide open.

"Thirteen times, that's the number of times you were wide open to be attack" said Savarus while Bethany was panting heavily "it's been up to an hour since we started training, I'm sure that's okay for today" said Savarus.

"No, please let's just continue practicing a little, I'm not tired at all".

"You can see yourself clearly panting right now, don't you?, I like your determination, but that's not the only thing you need, what you really need the most is to learn how to predict your opponent movement and read his move, let's go for some break, we can continue later" Savarus said while already moving to a shaded place so he can relax, Bethany looks like she has something to say but didn't, she just followed Savarus to quench her taste and take some rest. After she has drank some water and was now sitting opposite Savarus, she didn't waste anytime in asking him what was on her mind.

"Please I want you to tell me my flaws and also give me some pointers" said Bethany while spouting like a child.

"Why is it anytime you want to ask for a favor, you always spout like a child".

"Please just tell me".
