Chapter 12 - Another Training?

"Alright! I'm ready-" Clin didn't even allow Kale to finish up his words, he rush forward. Kale caught unprepared. He take a step backwards hoping that attack won't reach him.

"You're stance broke lad" Clin said getting closer to Kale and sweep his sword horizontally aiming for the side of Kale.

"Agh!" Kale still don't have the fast reaction but he tried to block it with the sword. His efforts were useless, the sword fly when the two swords interact to each other.

"Now I think you should train more" Clin said to him, he look at kale who still couldn't recover from what just happened. He still puzzling on what could have happen that make a distance from Clin and him.

"Listen lad, swordsmanship is not something you will learn in few days, you need to enhance every technique you learn, little by little" Clin added.

"Yes... I'm still lacking..." Kale replied then Clin hold his shoulder and said "Look lad you did more than expected". Kale couldn't understand what he did good, all he could remember is he being overpowered by him.

"Now! Let's get to the training!" Clin encourage Kale "What... What are we going to do now?" Kale replied.

"To the forest. I got a training area for my self there so what if I train someone in there too" Clin then pat him and said "We gonna have a loooong training there so brace yourself"

Kale recovered from the shock he accepted that the gap between him and the trainer is big. Like he is facing a wall that the height couldn't be analyze. He followed Clin through the gloomy forest outside the village there he see the little hut of what Clin called "Private Barrack".

"Lad you're ready?" Kale once again embrace himself.

"You see those ropes?" Clin ask and I replied "yes" then Clin grab my shoulder and said "that's your first training".

*What kind of training I will be?* I ask my self "Go climb the tree and step on those ropes, your first task is to completely walk from that tree to that one" he point out the tree where it ends.

*like hell I can do it?! Usually in real life there is a metal bar that will help you balance yourself*

"uhm.." Kale want to ask Clin but he suddenly replied "Go now lad or else I'll make you do it".

Without any more choice he climb the tree it at least take him half an hour to climb a tree. To be surprised he didn't climb a tree in his whole life because he lives on the city where trees can be counted.

As he approach the rope, he suddenly feels he being push. A strong wind passed by the area that put kale into petrification. He is like a stone that is attached on a tree.

*How can I do it lie this?!* he ask him self then add *Why the hell this rope is not even stable to be walk on, hah... I am going to die second time in my training session no less*

Meanwhile Clin watch Kale on the cabin seeping tea. *This is the very basic training everyone should have, they need to have balance body like they're on a rope that's is moving constantly, in battle your body flexibility will take place, your balance is a must, your strength is needed, sense's is important* Clin talk to himself.

*This should be the foundation of it a flexible body, balance, and senses, strength is another way around* Clin add.

"Well let's see if you will become the first one to be my disciple"
