Chapter 5

We went to an open area in the forest near the sea where she asked me what I knew about fighting.

Rouge- So what do you know about fighting?

Cain- uhh....you hit your opponent till he can't fight back?

Rouge- Hahaha. That is basically true and fighting styles are used to basically reduce the amount of effort you have to put in to do that.

Cain- So what are you going to teach me?

My sister looked at me with a wide smile on her face.

Rouge- Well... I will be hitting you and you will have to endure the beatings while learning how to dodge or redirect or just minimize the damage you get from my beatings.

Cain- Wait what? You won't be teaching me any forms and how to attack or something?

Rouge- Hahahaha. No. You will have to figure it out yourself. Different people have different fighting styles and with a physique like yours it is better for you to feel it out for yourself and go with whatever makes you feel will help you survive.

Cain- Ok then. Wait, you said survive?

Rouge- Of course I am going to be fighting semi-seriously and you will have to find a way to get through it all.

*gulp*

I swallowed and positioned myself opposite her. She looks at me in amusement for a few seconds but then her aura changed and I got shivers running down my spine.

I instinctively lowered my center of gravity and tended my body waiting for her next move. I knew that I could not go on the offensive as I probably wouldn't be able to even hit her and even if I did it wouldn't do any proper damage so I decided to wait for her first move.

Rouge calmly looked at me and suddenly smiled which sent warning signals which made me even more tense. She jumped toward my position and came down with an axe kick. I hurriedly rolled out of the way not trusting my body to be able to withstand that force and sure enough the ground cracked under her feet in a 10m radius.

Cain- Are you trying to kill me!!!???

I screamed ate her but she only laughed and said that she is barely getting started.

I am now slightly regretting asking her for training but I can feel that if I get through this I will be stronger and faster. Not because of muscle strength but because of how efficiently I use my body.

Rouge moved again and dissapeared from my sight, shocking me, I quickly calm down and sense for where she is. A slight brush of air on my skin told me she was now attacking the back of my neck to which I quickly ducked under but was completely unprepared for her knee to come straight at my stomach knocking the wind out of me along with this morning's food.

I retched on the ground for a while but before I could recover she kicked me in my midsection sending me into the air and then punched me hard knockin5 me unconscious for a about 10 seconds.

After waking up I slowly got up anger burning in me not only at my sister but also at myself at not reacting and so I rushed at her and sent a flurry of poorly placed kicks and punches which she effortlessly dodged or redirected. After letting me attack a few more times she caught my wrist from the punch that I gave and flipped me over.

I was dizzy and all I could see were blurry stars.

Rouge- Are you sure you want to continue this? This will go on for a long time till I decide you have learnt enough and reached a satisfactory performance which could take years.

Cain- *wheeze* haa.... *wheeze*haa... I will continue.

Rouge- Good, now get up we still a no other 2 hours to go. The time will increase later on.

I pushed myself to get up and got into a shaky stance with my left leg forward and both arms raised a bit to be ready to guard my midriff and face.

She raised an eyebrow at my stance but then got ready herself to give me another beatdown.
