"Relax your elbow, you are too tens"He warned in a stern tone "you body should be relaxed when facing an enemy"
"You should start practicing every move a thousand times" Raven demanded.
"huh" an unexpected expressed on his face of Blake.
he had a appalled expression in his face.
*Thousand time, is this dude crazy or what he want's me to perform a step thousand times.*
"Don't huh! me young master" with a harshly reminded him. "start doing it"
"First do thousand descending slashes"
Blake adjusted his posture as he had been told
He relaxed his shoulder's
strengthen his grip on the sword and
"slash"
the sword vertically descended cleanly cutting through the air.
Raven observed with calm expression.
"you posture and slash are okay but it unrefined"
"loosen you grip you are holding the katana to tightly"
Blake slowly loosened the grip on the handle
"good, do it thousand time"
"don't break the posture" he added
Soon Blake started performing slashes.
he also maintained his posture while doing it
"slash"
"slash"
"slash"
"slash"
"slash"
Blake started performing the downward slash with posture and momentum.
While Blake Started performing downward slashes
"Katana Primarily only has two type of attacks" Raven started educating him.
"these two type of attacks have primary,
all the other form's of attack come's under them"
"what are the two type of young master?"he questioned.
"pat"
a slapping sound echoed, Raven slapped his back thigh's using a side of the sword.
"don't break the posture" Blake received a warning in a threatening tone.
The threatening voice chilled him to his bones.
Blake had managed to do about a some hundreds slashes.
He has already feeling heaviness in in muscles,his body had started showing symptoms of strain.
He already started having mental fatigue.
He started doubting whether he will be able to complete a even a thousand. Raven wanted him to perform 1000 of each slashes.
Blake already started regretting his decision's to train but he quickly shook his head and throw these thought's away. After all how can is survive with a burn out mentality. He had created for himself, He needs to come outside from his comfort zone.
"Slashes and Thrusts" he answered the question.
"Right! That's correct and we will do all the form of slashes today and continue your training during the travel." Raven praised adding another question" then what are weapon arts?"
To Blake answer seemed very obvious after all it he had mentioned it the Book that"the proficiency of a weapon using and combining it with mana is weapon arts." he quickly commented.
"Wrong" Raven answered in a blunt tone that seemed indiscriminating.
"You just answered what written in the book" in conscientious manner'"Weapon art is the fundamental of Slashes, stabs mixed into one to perform according to the mana nature which they are tune to"
"You are thinking that only use o weapon art is the to use it with mana to make swordsmanship fluid,but it isn't the greatest Weapon arts and high ranking weapon have nothing but basic engraved in them. We use it to sharpen our own basic ans redevelop techniques that are one with us."
"The reason people think it different than a basic is because movement's technique's hand techniques and gesture are mixed with them. the main basic any weapon will always comes to fundamental. Weapon art also have same sword techniques but if you don't have the fundamental, It uses how much you increase weapon's arts mastery ." Raven gave a long statement in order to teach Blake about the weapon art distinction.
Blake was listening while continuing to do the downward slashes.
He throat felt dry, He was drenched in swear, his shoulder,biceps, forearms all hurt like hell. The mental fatigue was drowning him.
If he mad a mistake in any posture Raven will slap him with the blunt part of the sword making him do it again.
He felt he would faint right here but he held on will a iron will and his body was being held by his attribute Continuance Threshold, it kept refusing to make sure the body doesn't fall.
He had to train to get stronger to survive to live a normal life.He needed to train body and mind to adopt to the harsh training.
The world is cruel it doesn't show mercy to the weak.
It breaks them, tearing them apart and make doubt their Resistance.
To live, a normal life in a world tethering in danger, you must first become strong.
The strength is the only thing that is respected in this world.
Blake was a follower of a simple belief R=I relationship depends upon interest.
"slash"
"slash"
"slash"
"slash"
With a trembling hand's he fell of the grass with his butt cheeks.
"Good, take a rest for 5 minutes and start doing ascending slash" saying that he threw a bottle
"Drink this, it's made from the different sub and herbs, it helps in rejuvenating your body fast, It made especially for source blood inheritor" Raven didn't even look at him after that.
damn you old man just you wait i will definitely take revenge on you
Blake was very petty man in terms of considering his revenge. He took revenge in even the smallest things.
Blake remembered thing thing he had said. He only had time to think about it he was to engrossed in training that he wasn't concentrating on what he was saying.
"You said weapon art are mixture of weapon's fundamental and movement art, doesn't that mean anybody can create a weapon art that suits themselves?" Blake questioned him.
the head butler looked at him with a amusing eyes and he had a droll expression on his face.
"if it was that easy to create a weapon art don't you think a lot of people would have already created it young master." Amusement could be traced on his voice.
dam you old man what do you find amusement here,I didn't even know about the existence of movement art up until now, i starting to doubt it is it even my own novel anymore and we haven't even began the first act ha!!
