10 Training (2/2)
He turned around and saw how his brothers were faring. He almost choked on the jerky that he was chewing as he saw them lying on the ground and on the verge of passing out. He laughed slightly and walked towards them.

”Hey! Still breathing?” He jokingly said.
”D-damn you. We thought we. . .were brothers.” Paul said while panting, his clothes were all dirty, his hair was a mess and his face were slightly bruised.
”Honestly. . .those things are better than my dad when it comes to beating.” Mark whined while panting as well. Both of his hands were shaking, even the webbings between his thumb and pointing finger are bleeding. His face were also bruised as well as some parts of his body.
”Well, you have to learn how to grow under pressure. You will experience tougher situations compared to this.” He said while helping them sit up.
”Says the one who did nothing but threw punches all day.” Paul can't help but to feel slightly sour. They too were watching his training, they thought that he will just do that for sometime but no, he ended up doing it all day.
”Hey! Don't underestimate the way how I train.” Raven smiled and pointed at the suit hanging on his waist. ”You guys should know what this is right?”
Paul and Mark widened their eyes to look, well they have to since they can't even open it normally because of the bruises.
”Oh! A Gravity Suit! When did have this?” Mark exclaimed upon realizing it. He never thought that Raven had one of this not because it's rare, but it was extremely unpopular.
”Exactly, I had this under my clothes ever since I came here. It was always set on 2.5 times normal gravity and I never took it off. When I was training earlier, I pushed it to 4 times normal gravity and stayed like that the whole time. Now can you do that?”
Paul and Mark were stumped for words. They thought about how long he stayed like that, and didn't even took a single break, and still managed to persevere for 6 hours. That thought sent shivers down their spine and also made them ashamed by their inferiority at the same time.
”Don't think like that.” Raven said, seemingly knowing what they were thinking. ”That won't help you in the long run. Find ways on how to improve instead and concentrate on it. Here let me help you guys.”
Raven stood up and picked up the spear and shield that Paul was using. He then activated the dummy and stood before it.
”When you see an enemy be on guard, do not think they won't attack since they aren't charging. If you have a shield, raise it to your chest and brace the ground for a better footing.”
Without further ado, he started giving lessons to them. Just as when he finished speaking, the dummy charged and threw out a punch. Raven easily maneuvered the shield to intercept it and the blow didn't even make his body budge. Paul instantly found out why. This was because of how he stood.
Raven was crouching slightly while the shield is raised. His left foot forward and his right foot behind it. When the attack connected, it just made a loud 'Clank', Raven used this to send poke the dummy straight in the chest but he didn't used the pointed end of the spear and used the blunt end to push it slightly.
”Seek chances to counter attack. Do not prolong the battle if you could, you never know if the enemy has a back up.” He withdrew the spear and the dummy charged once more.
Raven made sure that each of his movement were solid and slow, he was deliberately doing this for them. Paul on the other hand, was experiencing his own eureka moment. Being the one who saw both the Foundational Pole Arm Arts and the Foundational Shield Intercepting Art made him knowledgable of the movements that Raven was doing.
Raven finished demonstrating for Paul he also demonstrated the Foundational Sword Arts for Mark and the movement arts for both of them to see.
Undoubtedly, both guys were etching the lessons deep within their minds.
