In the middle of the stone paths
Li Xian signal three of them to stop in this tracks
Li Xian: You two. Stop here for a second.
Aaron: Huh? Why?
Li Xian: Just do what I said.
Aaron: ....ok?
Aaron & Mina stop in this spot
Aaron: ...So, what's going on?
Li Xian: You two are inexperienced.
Aaron: Excuse me?
Li Xian: You think I'm harsh but it's the truth.
Li Xian: You both slack your training.
Li Xian: What was the last time you guys do combat?
Aaron: Uh...well..I never used to hand to hand combat before. Just thieving.
Mina: I'm just do traveling.
Li Xian: And that's the problem. You two must put the work on your combat instinct so that we don't always protecting you two.
Li Yuen: ....
Aaron: (sighed) shit. I guess you're right.
Li Xian: And that's why we will train you two.
Aaron: ....
Aaron: Is it gonna be tiring?
Li Xian: Well, for Li Yuen, she wouldn't make you tired. But me? It's the opposite.
Aaron: So.... we're starting?
Li Xian: Yes.
Li Xian: But Mina will be trained by Li Yuen. Since she's more fragile than you.
Li Yuen: Ok~. Mina, follow me.
Mina: Ok.
As they both goes to that spot.
Aaron: Now....what about me?
Li Xian: Simple. (Summons her broad sword)
Li Xian: Fight me.
Aaron: What?
Li Xian: I said, fight me.
Aaron: ...but what happens to basic-
Li Xian: Now.
Aaron: ....
Aaron: Fine.
Aaron then pulls out of his daggers
Aaron: Don't expect me to be gentle.
As Aaron ready his combat stance, Aaron then throw the first slices...yet Li Xian use her sword's hilt deflect Aaron's attacks with ease, making Aaron stumble.
Aaron: Wha-?
Li Xian: Again.
Aaron got frustrated as he puts more strength in his daggers skills, with the dozens of swinging, yet none of them seems works as Li Xian deflect them all with her sword's hilt, not even uses her whole body.
Aaron: Ah, fuck!
Li Xian: Put more strength on your daggers.
Aaron: What? Didn't I just did???
Li Xian: No, you don't.
Aaron: Damn it!
As he puts more strength in his daggers, he started to do dozens of the swinging, spinning, slicing & thrusting. Yet as you know, all of them deflected by Li Xian, who seems neutral.
Aaron got tired, exhausted & breathing hard while Li Xian barely seems to tried.
Aaron: ...ah, shit. So, this is the strength of Eraser Slayers, huh?
Li Xian: Quick success is temporary, Countless grind is permanent.
Li Xian: Now, continue.
Aaron this time, got serious. As he ready in his combat stance & learn how to fight for real.
