Training 2.2: Combat

"alright, so this time with real weapons. you shall challenge yourself even further, not obviously try not to kill each other. but i want you lads trying to treat it like a real life situation." said reifah

uhh.. what?! are you serious? with real weapons, i mean what if we accidentally cut our fingers off, or get slashed?!

"uh sir, but isn't it a bit dangerous?" i said

"huh?? dangerous you say? what nonsense do you speak? there is no such as danger in training!" reifah said sarcastically.

"now begin!" he shouted.

like the last time, we clashed. this time everyone were doing it slower than before.

"now remember, all you still have to do is tap your partner with the sword and repeat!" reifah yelled.

donte this time was going easy on me, i suppose last time he did as well. but evens till he kept on managing to tap me.

"shit, how am i even supposed to get better at this. i just don't understand how someone doesn't fear getting slash" i said

"look man, just don't think about it. at the end of the day, its either you or your enemy." donte replied.

hes right, back then. if an enemy had a gun, u wouldn't hesitate to shoot. but guns are faster and easier. at least i have a chance of getting shot in the head and dying instantly. while if i get stab, it'll be painful as hell.

"Aghhh!" a person yelled.

"u-uhh, crap, shit!" the man who had accidentally stabbed another person eye with a sword.

"you morons! what do you think you're doing! whats your name!" reifah shouted.

"umm... i-its marco, and i didn't mean to hit his eye." he replied.

"AGGHH!!" the one eyed man yelled.

"alright lads, hand me a bandage. we need to stop the bleeding first. you absolute fool." reifah said.

I was in absolute shock, a man had just got stabbed in the eye. im so glad donte came to me.

"ALRIGHT! you morons will still continue, and try not to stab each other!" reifah yelled.

you've gotten be kiddin..

we basically did that for 1 hour, and the next was simple exercises, and after exercises, we relax and review over what we've learn. after that, we began more sword or weapon exercise, more defense technique. reifah was more knowledgeful than i thought. after that, we did basic physical exercise. overall the training lasted for 6 hours. after the training, i went to helen house. there she was preparing food.

"oh hey elliot, welcome back, would like to take bath before dinner?" helen said.

"oh.. sure" i said.

i went to take a bath, and it was not like my world. i think helen might've already prepare the bath, it was already warm and full with an empty bucket by it. i then began to dip in it, relaxed my body. im gonna be honest, i was never fit. i think exercising might actually make me shredded. (note: elliot is more chubby fit). after bath, i came down to eat. helen was reading a book by the dinner table on a couch.

"you're finished, dinner is ready if you're hungry. please eat" helen said delightfully.

"thanks I guess" i said.

I began eating, there was chicken stew, bread, cheese, some sweets, and potatoes. the foods were really good for some reason.

"hey helen, i have a question. why did you help me?' i asked.

"huh? well, i help a lot of people and i love to. i guess, in such a world. im doing whatever i can that makes me happy, and i know it sounds selfish. but seeing other people happy, supported, is all i need." helen replied.

"huh.. thats kind of you. not a lot of people i know are as kind as you in my world?" i said.

"in ur world, what do you mean?" helen asked.

"well i mean, in my perspective, like in my eyes and experience ha ha" i said.

"oh, of course." helen smiled and said.

"i hope you're enjoying the food, i put lots of effort in it" helen said.

"oh, the food is amazing! i don't think i've tasted something great in a long time" i said.

helen blushed and widen her eyes. she then smiles and went back to reading her book.
