21 The Training Goes On (2/2)

He suddenly hears ”Shut up, kid or when I find you, I will put you through Hell month again” his body shakes and he freezes. Suddenly, he moves again and from his expression, his teacher's later sentence is forgotten as he pays attention to the argument that arrives minutes after they are spoken.

Hearing sounds no longer, he augments his voice boxagain with magic and shouts

”You guys can't find me.”

He waits for a while, when he hears that the area where the sound bounced of in his previous shout was empty was not coming back with the same amount of information, he knew something was wrong.

”Bollocks” He whispers and begins to move.

Suddenly, a hand appears out of nowhere and lifts him up by the back collar of his shirt and the voice whispers in a creepy voice ”Where are you going my lovely ingredi.. I mean Dudley?”

The boy known as Dudley thinks 'Bloody hell' and struggles harder knowing who had caught him. His struggles eventually fade when he notices the hand holding him did not shake even once during the chaotic motion, he had his body perform.

Two more individuals appear in front of him and the hand holding him releases him and he falls onon his but. Dudley grumbles about the unfairness of them using a disappearing charm.

”How will you be punished today” Asura says in a laidback tone completely different from the from the creepy voice he was using previously.

”But I was so close to passing” Dudley says in a tone bordering on desperation.

'Anything is better than punishment. What if it is surviving in the forest for a month again or what if it is...' Dudley thought process is broken be his teacher's question

”But did you win?” Asura asks him

”No” Dudley moans.

”A twenty minutes increase. Congrats by the way” Wyllt says and Dudley nods.

”Now, do you know what you did wrong” Wyllt says and Dudley shakes his head.

”Wait, let me go first” Asura says and the two teachers nod.

”You are still acting like a prey would and that makes you predictable. Any capable predator or hunter knows how their prey behaves so they always prepare counter measures for capture.” Asura yawns as he finishes. Dudley nods and makes note of that for the umph time.

One thing he did not like about this teacher was that, he never finishes his lessons and he makes him figure out everything himself. ”Experience is teacher” is Asura's code of arms and Dudley is someone who likes clear instructions, so he is kindda effie about Asura methods of teaching.

”Another reason why we found you was because you were leaving magical traces around the place like an animal that sheds his skin as it moves. In fact, one of the traces leed directly to you. We will increase your magical control when we go home.”

An energy field around Wyllt glows after he finishes speaking. Marimo who has not said anything since they arrived spoke,

”Your presence is permeating through this place why are you not using the techniques I thought you? Maybe I should invite her to teach you how to control your presence.”

”But I...” Dudley tries to explain but Marimo continues

”Ooyi, Marimo...” Wyllt tries to speaks but Marimo ignores him too

”Where is your sword? You never leave the house without a weapon.”

”But it...” Dudley tries to interrupt again but Marimo continues

”I don't care if your entire body is a weapon. If you want to be a swordsman, you do not leave your sword at home. Do you understand me?” Marimo shouts

”Yes” Dudley says

”If you want to master whatever disciplines you fancy, you will fully obey what the teacher says.”

Marimo says before he exhales a huge amount of CO2.

”Congrats on the extra time.” Marimo says after a moment of silence and Dudley lifts his head. Marimo turns around and walks away. Wyllt places his arms on Dudley's should once he stands up and says,

”Don't blame him, you are his first student after all.” They begin to walk back home at an absurd speed.
