11 One Hundred Steps Technique

The shadow came in front of Noah in just an instant looking like she had teleported.

You couldn't distinguish her appearance or her intentions about Noah. As soon as she reached in front of him, she crouched down and reached for Noah's neck and grabbed him as if he had no weight she lifted him up.

Noah was still passed out, unable to know what was going on around her.

As if it were a ghost as soon as the shadow lifted Noah she disappeared from where she was taking Noah with her.

Noah remained passed out while being kidnapped by the shadow, he was dreaming when he was five years old.

-----

"Boy, are you five years old today, or rather, five years since I accepted you as my disciple."

The Old Man had a happy smile on his wrinkled face, seeing the Old Man's smile, Noah knew there was something wrong.

"Don't get that ugly face Noah, if you keep making those ugly faces, you'll end up being single for the rest of your life."

Noah pretended not to hear, and turned around wanting to get back to training. Before he could take a step, the Old Man grabbed him by the shoulder, and continued to speak.

"Boy, listen to me, I'm going to teach you new things, think of it as a gift for me, I mean for you."

As he said these words, the Old Man in his mind thought quite the opposite, 'Boy you threw up at me now I'm going to shoot you.'

Noah, seeing a happy smile on the Old Man's wrinkled face, had a shiver down his spine. Knowing the old man very well, he knew he would suffer a lot today.

Suddenly the old man pulled out what looked like a Desert Eagle pistol, and spoke.

"This is not my gift to you yet, but it will be an even better thing."

The old man walked over to a shelf near him and removed what looked like an old scroll and tossed it to Noah.

"Here, boy, this is my gift to you."

Noah took the scroll and opened it. What was inside were some words written in Ancient Chinese as well as some pictures.

Written 'Technique of the hundred steps', the images are of people making some strange movements with their legs and feet. Seeing this Noah looked at the Old Man with bewilderment in his eyes, the Old Man had never given him anything like this.

"Boy now do you realize how amazing I am?"

There was a superior smile on his face as he looked at Noah.

Sometimes the Old Man was more immature than Noah who was only five years old.

"Old man, what do I have to do now?"

Noah had a cold expression.

"Isn't it obvious? You have to follow the movements on the parchment while I shoot you."

The Old Man smiled mockingly at Noah.

Noah, hearing the Old Man's word, was perplexed. How could he copy the movements that were on the parchment while the Old Man was shooting at him?

Seeing the look of confusion on Noah's face the old man continued to explain.

"Boy, you will have a whole day to memorize the technique I gave you, tomorrow we will start your training, but don't worry, this pistol has been modified, it has no penetrating power."

Noah, hearing the Old Man's words, showed no reaction, as he knew that the only thing he could do now was to practice this technique.

Without saying goodbye to the Old Man, Noah went to the patio of the house where they were, in order to learn the 'one hundred step technique'.

Opening the scroll Noah again saw images of people making strange foot and leg movements. He knew he would have to copy the movements.

The first movement was very strange, he would have to bend his legs and walk at the same time.

When trying to make the first movement ended up falling comically, after an hour trying to perform the movements, he managed to take a single step without falling, but with this step it seemed that he had taken three steps instead of just one. Thus beginning to understand the essence of the technique.

The Old Man was hiding a few feet away, watching Noah practice. He was stunned by the speed that Noah managed to understand the first movement.

"It looks like it wasn't a mistake to save him, but I won't be soft on him, I still have a lot to torture him for what he did to me when he was younger." 'humpf'.

The Old Man whispered those words to himself.

The Old Man had given Noah the most basic and simple FootWork technique he had. For he knew that Noah could not handle the most advanced techniques.

How he had remembered unpleasant things from the past, the Old Man whispered.

"Boy, you shouldn't have puked from my mouth when you were younger, now I'm going to fill you with bullets."

He gave an evil laugh, thinking about how he would torture Noah.

Noah was so engrossed in his training that he didn't notice the time passing. As soon as he finished training, it was already night.

"It seems that I managed to partially master the first movement, but I don't have much confidence in being able to dodge the bullets."

After saying these words Noah went to the bathroom, as soon as he finished taking a shower he went straight to his room so he could get enough rest for the next day's brutal training.

Waking up, Noah looked at the clock next to him, realizing it was still only 5:00 am.

Getting up from the bed he went directly to the bathroom to cool off, after taking a shower he went down to the first floor, where he found the old man drinking coffee.

"Boy it seems that you are very anxious to train."

As if he hadn't heard the Old Man's words, Noah went into the kitchen to prepare his breakfast.

The Old Man realized that Noah was going to prepare breakfast, he was excited, as he doesn't know how to cook, he sent Noah to learn how to cook as a training.

"Boy if you make me breakfast, I'll take it easy with you today, what do you think?"

Noah gave the Old Man a mocking look, and turned his attention back to what he was doing.

The Old Man realizing that Noah wasn't going to make his breakfast, he shouted.

"Boy, that was the last mistake you made, today I will make you suffer a pain that you have never suffered in your life."

Saying these words the Old Man left the house. As they were in Paris he decided to have a croissant for breakfast before torturing Noah.
