20 A round of beating (1/2)

*Neo's seventh-day in Midgard* early in the morning.

From Neo's waist, he forcefully swings his axe high in the air, while taking advantage of the upward motion, he quickly bends the direction of the swing downward. because of that, the swing had gained a large acceleration distance, resulting in greater kinetic force.

*steeeck*

In his first swing the piece of log on the tree stump, was already cut halfway. Neo pulled the axe from the log. before swinging it, in the same manner as before.

*craaack*

The log has split in two different parts. before falling down of the tree stump.

*ding*”training result \u003c0.001str\u003e \u003c0.0006vit\u003e”

Neo wipe his sweat, before bending his body down, to take another piece of log.

”you did quite well,” a husky voice of old man, rings in Neo's back. a little surprised, Neo turned his head around, and saw Kratos, standing next to him.

Neo nodded to him.

”give me the axe, and follow me boy.” Kratos said,

hearing this, Neo didn't waste his time contemplating. He passed the axe to Kratos before following him.

He lead Neo to an open field, next to his house. Before he pulled a huge sack from his waist and handing it to Neo.

Neo stretched his hands to grab the sack.and learned that it was heavy.

”What's this?”Neo asked, while opening the bag and inspecting the things inside.

Neo saw a bunch glittering silver balls. it looks like a cannon ball but more shinier.

”Training orbs, a dwarf Invention, you will be using this, to train your body for 4 to 10 hours a day. the energy it uses will recharge when not use.” Kratos said.

Neo Nodded.

”I wonder what kind of enery it uses” Neo thought.for a short while before setting it aside.

”So, how do, I use this?”Neo grab of the balls, and tried searching for a button.

”It's easy to use, just put the orbs under your foot, then yell start” Kratos said.

Hearing this Neo poured all the orb under his feet before yelling ”START!”.

The balls answered his call. 10 of them stared to levitate before encircling Neo, in every direction.

”so....what now?”Neo said, looking towards Kratos. with confused expression.

”endure!” Kratos said in a grim voice.

*peak*

one of ball started to accelerated in an absurd amount of second. hitting Neo's abdomen.

”khaaaaaaa!” Neo could only yelp in pain, as the sharp pain assaulted his stomach.the ball bounced away and goes back in encircling Neo.

five seconds later, another one darted towards Neo. but this time he was prepared.

Enduring the searing pain in his abdomen. Neo twisted his body to the right. barely dodging the ball that was after his torso.

5 seconds later, another ball flew towards him, but this time, it came from the back.

”khuuuuu” Neo yelp once again, he didn't see that one coming. because of that he was hit in the back.
