Goals to Define Part 2

The old man would cross his arms and look at Artirian and said "You are not ready yet boy. I tell you, you need a lot of work to do and this is only the start" then Artirian replied "I am trained by picking up a sack of vegetables and even walking through the dirt rocky road." then the old man replied once again "Carrying and delivering a sack of vegetables through the dirt road is not enough for you to learn. The structure and fundamentals of the gallant force and understanding it to the fullest."

Then the old man commanded "Stand up straight and look straight ahead and avoid eye contact from me. Got it boy?" then Artirian with a charismatic tone of voice "I am ready sir. Give me what you got and I'll accept it wholeheartedly." After that Artirian waited for the instruction of the old man. He waited for 30 minutes straight, his sweat would drip down from his neck down to his shoulders. 

Then the old man would be looking at Artirian while smirking. And then the old man said "The first of my instructions are as follows: the first instruction is for you to learn the fundamentals first before anything else. Next is that if you disobey me I will kill you personally. Next is You must always follow my commands you are not allowed to speak while I command you will always follow what I say. And if you have an opinion I will suggest to you that keep it to yourself. Am I clear with my instructions?" then Artirian replied with "Yes, Sir." his tone of voice was a bit scary. 

Then the old man would speak once again, "The first exercise you will do is increase your agility, stamina and endurance. Those exercises are sprinting, running and jumping jacks. Next are for strength and muscle strength. We are going to lift some weights, push-ups and sit-ups and some wooden log to be carried. Next exercise is mind training and that is climbing the mountain 4 times a day and 3 times a week. Then normal exercises will be done every day."

After those simple instructions Artirian was listening carefully and at the same time still standing straight and looking straight he then replied with a confident tone of voice "I can do all of that Sir!". After that, the old man would dismiss Artirian but before Artirian left the training place the old would say "Why not live near my camp so that I can guide you well? As my student".

Then Artirian felt the joyous vibe of that words "Thank you sir!" Artirian knelt in front of the old man. Then the old man would tap his shoulders and then said "Get up and prepare to get some rest"

Artirian would wake up every morning and start the routine that the old man gave him "1...2… 3...4...5…Ugh I can do this HOORAH" After 2 months of the first phase of the training. "I felt little change in my body heh. What do you think Sir?" Artirian said sarcastically but the old man would only give him a punch on the arm. Artirian then drops on the ground in a fetal position and try to control the pain "AWhh" Then the old man would reply "There is still no change."

Artirian continued another 3 months. In the 3 months of continuous training, the old man would see a tiny change in Artirian mentality and physically. But from the old man perspective, he is still not ready to learn the fundamentals.

The total first phase of Artirian's training was 5 months. Then after the 5 months, the old man ordered Artirian again to train for another 5 months. The first 5 months was the starting phase of the training and the other 5 months was the mid-phase of the training. The first phase of the training is all for the body to get used to the work out the next 5 months is for agility, endurance and speed.

"Another 5 months..woo I can do this!" Artirian shouted as he put the wooden log on his shoulder and started running towards point A. "Are you giving up boy? Just tell me and we can just stop right now" the old man continues to break Artirian mentality to give up. The old man continues to do psychological attacks on Artirian's mind to surrender for the next following months. Then Artirian replied, "You will see Sir! one day you will salute to me!" Artirian continued to put the wooden log to Point A to point B. 

After 7 months the training gets more intense as the 10 month comes near. Day and night the old man continuously trained Artirian. Sometimes the old man would give Artirian sometimes in tracking and locating enemies and sometimes to assassinate in day or night.

Artirian also teaches the basics of using a sword and a sabre. Artirian is able to use both in an advantageous way and be able to grasp it proficiently but when Artirian faces the old man in combat he was always in the defeated side.

After 9 months Artirian training was like a special forces training in the Academy of the empire. "Can you still run with your feet boy?" then Artirian replied "Is this all you can give huh?" the old man smirked as he joined Artirian in running and picking up logs. "You need more training next month is the last training hope you can master and be able to grow yourself." 

After the 10 full months of intense training regime of the Oldman doctrine, Artirian gained body structure and posture muscles and flexibility has increased. "Now that you finished the starting phase of the training and the mid-phase of the training you will now train for 3 months for the fundamentals of the gallant force." Then Artirian was confused "What is a gallant force?" Then the old man replied, "The gallant force is the power that can only be released if the individual has trained hard for himself and is able to grasp the fundamentals of mana core." 

"Come one why won't you increase RAHH" Artirian shouted as he slowly focused the mana core in him. "Why is it not working? This is really fake!" Artirian became furious as he couldn't form the mana core inside him. Then the old man looked at him and said "the problem is your posture, who will meditate if you are laying on the ground. 

Then Aritirian replied with a sarcastic tone of voice "Alright do I need to sit like this and put my hands like this?" then the old man would look at Artirian posture and do an indian sit while his hands are raised and middle of the tummy while his eyes are closed. 

The Gallant force is a type of internal and external power both can improve an individual's strength and give an immense amount of power. But the Gallant force is not a superhuman strength, because the Gallant force is only to boost the person to fight more and gradually weaken if used too much as the main source of the Gallant power is the mana core inside an individual but mostly a common person has a low mana core. Because the gallant power is so complicated, that is why teachers must choose their apprentice.

With that, not all people can master the usage of Gallant power. Because it needs a lot of preparation to master and to add to that before someone teaches the gallant force the person must get the full grapes of the fundamentals of the gallant force to be able to teach. But because of the Gallant force becoming too scarce in the continent, it became an all-time low and rather disregarded.

 It is said in the records of the library of the Empire there are only around 4,000 to 5,000 users of gallant force while the masters who can teach are around 400 that are able to teach the full fundamentals of a gallant force.
