What are you doing to me old man!
Stop your whining and just stay still for moment , the old man had carried nexus to a cave that looked like it hadn't been used for years.
Again what are you doing!
Are you going to do this every time? I am trying to help you here. If you don't want to get then I'll stop!
And who caused this in the first place!
You can't blame me for testing you ?
You're crazy!
Don't worry I get that a lot , and would you stop moving so I can finish this.
Seriously, what are you doing to my body?
What are you so worried about , the thing I am doing isn't harmful to your body actually you should be thanking me for doing this.
Nexus stopped moving for a moment , he was laying down in a vertical position and he couldn't see what the old man was doing to him.
I am done
Can you move your whole body now!
What do you mean move my body you --------------
How? As Nexus shouted out loud as his body started moving and following his command.
He stood up confused because a moment ago he was unable to move , he was only able to do minimal movement like shake himself and not to forget the pain that hit him every 5 minutes or so was gone too.
Now that you're fine what should we do because usually I would say let's train but if we do that you will go back to what you were doing before.
Hey old man I don't even know who you are, and as a matter of what I am doing here we'll I was going to ask you about the y'all call battle instinct.
I mean Winzilo gave me the basics of it and said you would know what it actually does and how to actually use it.
That's all you want to know , I thought when Tami brought here you were going to be my student well do you want to be my student?
Wait who's Tami and why would I want to be your student and why are so obsessed with me becoming your student.
Well for starters Tami is Winzilo s first name and second is I can teach you about battle instinct and so much more if you become my student and last but not least I am not obsessed with you becoming my student it's just I haven't had a student in a long time.
So are you willing to become my student?
No!
You're way too creepy and still you haven't told me who you are?
You too so I don't see much difference?
Okay I am Nexus , what about you?
Oh didn't expect you to introduce yourself, usually people would not even bother to do that or they don't have names.
Well my name is Grandel chie----------!
Call me Grandel.
Chie what now?
Forget it!
I can't believe I almost said that grandel thought to him self , if he knew who I was , he would either run for his life or kill himself on the spot and won't blame him but it's been decades since I had that title so I think everyone has forgotten besides the king and a few others.
Now old man can you tell me about the battle instinct and everything that has to do with it.
Well, become my student first and then I'll tell you about it!
Are you blackmailing me to become your student?
Yes and I am not ashamed of it.
Take your time Nex I am mean you have a lot of it anyways.
Nex thought about it for a moment, should I do but I can learn about on my own , he has all the info about it and he'll teach me how to fight too , it's a tempting offer but I can all of that on my own but how long would it take me that's the question and will it be effective?
So are you done deciding?
Wait, you said you would teach me how to fight too right.
Yes I said I would do that!
Okay then I'll accept your offer.
Okay then nex what would you like to learn about battle instinct?
What's with this weird nice name?
That's what I'll call you from now on.
Weird but fine back to the topic , I wanna how can I use battle instinct and how to activate it.
Well for starters kid you're not there yet, to be asking a question like , how can I put this .
In your current state, you can't unleash it willingly , it would take years of training, error and self improvement to be able to unleash it at will .
So you're saying it's impossible to unleash it again!
No I never said that , I just said you can't do it willingly at this stage.
And right now I don't think you're gonna be using it again cause it takes a lot of energy and stamina to use it which you don't have.
So that's all you could tell me about it?
Well not really because in your case it's not actually battle instinct!
What do you mean it's not battle instinct, weren't you the one saying I have it and it will take years for me to manifest it properly?
Well I did say all that but I forgot one thing that's important about battle instinct , the thing that separates it from yours is that people who have battle instinct are born with it and can naturally dodge anything that's a danger to them even when they can't, they still react.
I still don't get it?
Well I was actually attacking you mentally from the moment we started talking , if you had battle instinct it should have activated on its own because in your current level you can't even tell my mental attacks and physical attacks apart.
Oh!
But I'll say this yours isn't what you think it is!
It's something else that's only unique to you , even though I don't know what it is but I can sense it.
So now that we are done about it , what more do you want to talk about?
Nothing really , I came here to learn about battle instinct so now that I know about it I'll just leave I guess.
No! Did you forget that you said you would be my student so I forbid you from leaving so we can start our training plus the monsters you will have to face in the incoming rounds are so terrifying that they would only need one hit to kill you.
That's how weak you are right now!
Who said I am a weak old man!
I did and if you think you're not surviving 10 of my punches and I'll let you leave and never bother you about being my student ever again.
Nex looked at the grandel for a moment as he turned serious , why is he so serious all of a sudden and does he think I am crazy enough to try and take ten of his punches
I take it you're not gonna do so let's get down to business , in the second round you will be fighting a monster known for its speed and intellect.
A RAZOR WOLF!
This beast was the first of its species to develop intelligence , which is a disadvantage to us humans but it's also its weakness as it tends to underestimate its opponents but I can't say all of them do that but it's a habit of these types of beast
I have fought them a lot and I can tell you most of them do that but don't take this the wrong way and think I am telling you that you can win with this information , your wrong I have seen people die even after they knew this information.
What I am telling you is go every fight overestimating every enemie even if there weak , everyone has something of there sleeve.
Nexus nodded at the information he was getting since it was free by the way.
In the third round you will be fighting a beginner warrior but be warned as the poses excellent fighting prowess and are cable of adapting mid battle.
In the fourth round you will be fighting a scythe mantis , I don't know a lot about this the only thing I know is it has Sharp razors and has an insane speed.
In the fifth round you will be fighting a furry bear , known for their insane strength which can flatten buildings but tends to over exhausted themselves which is there weakness.
In the sixth round you will be fighting an intermediate knight which I don't need to explain .
In the seventh round you will be fighting against a shape shiftier, it's a mysterious species which can copy any one and their appearance , the same applies for their stats too so if you're not stronger than yourself then I don't know.
Then in the eighth round that's where I am at so do you get it now.
So I guess you are going to train me to beat these monsters.
Yes , and beyond that!
So why don't we get down to it since we're done talking.
