Asher's Combat Refinement and Attunement training continued, the days passed as after the third puppet with the rapier, he faced the fourth puppet that used a hammer, which quite literally broke his left arm from the elbow.
Each battle injured him and pushed him again and again, and he always made sure never to heal his injuries until after his battle with the puppet that inflicted the injury was handled.
In a sense, he was trying to play it fair since the puppets couldn't heal like him.
The fifth puppet used a whip, and Asher had to admit that he had never thought that a whip would be used with such fluid grace and refinement. The sixth puppet used a katana as a weapon, hence Asher suffered a couple of cuts and injuries, but injuries were simply part of the job.
