Ancient Tears BloodLine

Zack did not face Candace directly, She is not a warrior, something off about her. I have to wait and see. Zack said to himself. At this moment the door opened, Ms Adeline Key walked inside. She had a usual warrior attire. it's like a uniform. She said "Alright start training, I will be guiding each of you one by one; After that, you will be doing your separate training".

I initially started with basic sword moves to see whether I can manage to execute the moves with new strength. I started to lift the wooden sword and swing it. I did not apply force. Slowly I started to apply a little bit of force. As I repeated the same sword stance over twenty times. Time went on Ms Adeline key is now guiding Marcus Moore. I shifted my gaze from them and started working on my next stances.

Next, It's my turn. Ms Adeline Key came toward me. She said " Zack, attack me with your basic sword techniques". After hearing that I want to test my strength with three sword moves. I started directly with the Vital slice. As we two face each other. I lifted my wooden sword and my target was her abdomen. I raised my right foot to create an angle with the attack. She firmly stood in her place. I used both hands to swing the sword.

As my wooden sword tip reached her abdomen. She moved quickly, my sword hit nothing as she used her left leg to hit my abdomen. I failed to realize what happened. in a second I felt severe pain in my abdomen. My wooden sword dropped down as I clutched my abdomen and move backwards.

What a drag, I cannot even withstand her casual kick. Even If she used her little strength then my internal organs would turn into a paste.

Zack, then slowly stood up. Get back his wooden sword.

Ms Adeline Key said. "Zack, You lack flexibility in your movements more importantly you failed to predict your opponent's moves; What do you think I would gladly accept your attack?".

She was pissed off. How could I tell that I am gaining control over my new strength. I got overconfident its easy to execute moves but I'm still unfamiliar with overall control over my body. Control is an important skill in combat. Doesn't matter how much energy you got in your body with proper control over your techniques you even execute perfect moves with minimal energy.

"Sorry Mentor. I will learn from my mistake can we continue? ". Zack told. Hearing that Ms Key's face eased a lot. Then she nodded. both of them started their practice. Candace Wilkerson furred her eyebrow with confusion. she thought. Was I wrong, he seems to be clumsy. she was confused, her intuition seems to be wrong. Then she shakes her head and continued to focus on practice.

Sometimes later.

After training with Ms Adeline Key was finished. Zack was in his separate training room. He wanted to practise for an extra hour. There is an actual test for knowing the warrior's progress. Zack participated in the test.

He started with wooden dummies. Yesterday, I practise with these dummies but these were stationary dummies. It can check How much deep the attack landed on it and the amount of strength behind the attack. Unlike combat dummies. it cannot predict opponents move with A. I and act according to it.

First I need to clear the stationary dummies level with a perfect score. Next is the laser beam training for movements and evasion. Then comes the battle test with the combat dummies. To clear the first round of stationary dummies.

I need to perform every sword attack with good execution. There is A.I. Screen installed in the chamber. It will monitor and guide every test. it will calculate how fast and deep the attack land on the dummy.

Zack was continuing his training as time goes on. But every time his attack misses something. First, his speed was slow yet the attack land on the dummy is deep enough. Zack wanted to have good speed and attack.

So that he can go to the next level. Soon it was late in the evening.

Other classmates were left for home. Ms Adeline key was also left. He was the only person in the building training in his room. Except for the guards around the building.

Zack notices something, Classes was started at 10 a.m. and over at 4 p.m. But everyone today had extra training. Zack wants to spend an hour more in training before he left the facility. Fifteen minutes later Zack was laying on the ground smiling happily. Because he passed the first hurdle.

The attack landed on a dummy is perfect. it was executed in less than 5 seconds. before he was somewhat clumsy in his leg movements. As training went on had good control over his leg movement.

The A.I Screen on the chamber notified him of the laser test. It's showed him whether he wants to continue or not. Zack thought about it. I was exhausted. It's better to continue tomorrow. He thought for a moment and shook his head.

There is an anticipation in his eyes, let see for it now how hard is it. Even If I fail miserably. I will prepare well tomorrow. Zack wore the special suit for safety to avoid getting drilled by a laser beam.

The laser beam setting is not dangerous. it would be quite painful on the skin once it gets exposed. so it's better to wear a safety suit.

Zack said to himself. After wearing his suit. He pressed the start button. Soon the floor started to change colour. it appeared black and white. Zack was puzzled.

He stepped on black tiles first there was no reaction from the laser beam. Zack proceeds to step on the white tile in front of him. yet there is no reaction. Zack thought this is not a normal speed test. you have to find a pattern.

As he was immersed in his thoughts. A bad premonition rose in his heart.
