Chapter 74 Training Intensifies
The next two days, was a Monday and Jake as usual woke up early for his daily quest. Upon completion, Jake and his friends went to take their breakfast then they went for their homeroom class. After the homeroom class, they went to their weapon club where they were taught more sword skills.
The next class it the day was their Qi training. For this class, they were taught more things about Qi and how they could use it better. They kept on practising the first stage so they could be able to use it better that it will become second nature to them.
After the class, they headed off to they different clubs. All the days that Jake always cake for his hand to hand combat club, he always met sergeant Sunny waiting for him in front of the gate.
"Good morning Jake," sunny greeted Jake as they both headed into the building.
"Good morning sergeant Sunny." Jake greeted him with a smile as they were now inside the building.
"So how was your first weekly beast hunt?" Sergeant Sunny asked.
"It was fun and competitive I guess." Jake said with a shrug.
"I am glad to know you had fun. Alright so for today, we will be studying two moves." Sunny said.
Jake smiled because he was looking forward to this training everyday along with his Qi training. 'When I first started, I thought this training will be terrible or boring but with Sergeant Sunny's enthusiasm, great explanation and cool moves, I have grown to enjoy this class.' Jake thought.
'I'm always happy anytime I see this Kid. I can't believe that I got a student that I could grow fond off and also care for. I like this Kid and I hope he continues to grow so he could show the world that hand to hand combat isn't useless. And I know the perfect platform for that.' Sunny thought.
"So do you plan on participating in the academy tournament?" Sunny asked he was getting the dummy that they used for practising.
"Sure." Jake said as he was getting ready for practice. "I'm planning on participating and not only that, but I plan on coming out as the best student there."
"That's the spirit." Sunny smiled. "And I promise to train you properly to make sure you do not face any difficulties in defeating any of your opponents."
"Well that's will only apply to the second years and not the third years. Those guys are monsters." Sunny mumbled.
"Alright, let's start with today's class."
Sunny said as he stood in front of the dummy then he readied himself. "This one, is called a hook swipe."
Sunny then stood in front of the dummy and then waited for the dummy to come at him with an attack. The dummy came at sunny with full speed then it swung its fist towards Sunny's face but sunny quickly used the Guard stance to block the hit then he threw a wide, curved punch towards the dummy.
The hit managed to push the dummy back and was now deactivated. "You see, this move is quite simple and based on your talent, I know you will perform this move excellently." Sunny said as he went to take the dummy and then activated it for Jake to try the move.
Jake stood In front of the now activated dummy that was now charging towards him. The dummy threw a punch to Jake's stomach but he quickly used the Guard stance to block the hit then he quickly did the Hook swipe that landed precisely on the dummy's face sending it back and deactivated.
Impressed, sunny brought the dummy again and asked Jake to perform the move over and over again until it became muscle memory for Jake. Seeing that Jake had the hang of the move, Sunny moved on to the next move.
"Alright, I knew that move was pretty simple but I just taught it to you because of later when I will teach you a more advanced move that will need that move." Sunny said as he stood in front of Jake.
"Okay, so that hook swipe wasn't technically part of today's lesson. Today's and the rest of the week's lesson, will be focused on more advanced moves that will be sure to do some damage."
This brought a smile to Jake's face hearing the word more advanced moves. "So shall we get started?" Sunny asked.
"Why not?" Jake smiled.
"So this move, is called Aerial strike." Sunny said standing in front of the dummy but he didn't activate it yet. "Okay so you see, I will show you the move in slow motion without activating the move then I will show you how the move looks like with a charging opponent."
Jake just nodded and then moved back to allow Sunny space. Then Jake went down from the stage so he could watch Sunny's move much more better. Sunny stood in front of the dummy and then started the motion of Aerial strike.
First of all, Sunny moved back then he jumped up high but not too high then he rotated his body and delivered a hook punch towards the dummy's head sending it back. Jake was in awe seeing that move, he couldn't wait to try it out.
"Alright, let me show you how it looks like now with an opponent after your blood." Sunny said as he activated the dummy then he stood back a bit waiting for the dummy to come at him.
He didn't have to wait long for the dummy was already coming at him with full speed. When it was it was just two feet away, Sunny jumped up high, rotated his body and delivered a strong hook punch towards the dummy's head that sent it crashing far back.
"Shit! I must have used more strength than I intended to." Sunny said already running to see if where the dummy crashed through was broken.
After seeing that it was okay, Sunny came over with the dummy. When sunny came, he could have sworn he saw stars in Jake's eyes. Waving his hand in front of Jake's face, Sunny then called Jake's name. Continue your story on empire
Snapping out of his daze, Jake smiled. "I didn't make the wrong choice coming here."
This statement brought a smile on Sunny's face. "I'm glad you're enjoying the class and I got to admit, I enjoy teaching you. You are the best student ever."
They both smiled again then Sunny directed Jake towards the dummy to try the move. Jake stood in front of the dummy then he waited for the dummy to come at him then Jake quickly jumped high but it was too high for the dummy quickly grabbed Jake and slammed him back down on the floor hard.
Releasing its grip from Jake's legs, Jake now stood up and moved back. "Shit! I got the timing wrong."
"It's okay, you can try again. There's enough time." Sunny said.
Jake then nodded and tried the move again for like three times before he got the move right. He tried it again for a few times before he was satisfied.
Seeing Jake grow stronger, it just brought a smile to Sunny's face. 'I hope one day, you will be the hope the world needs.'
After a few more times of testing the move, Jake was now satisfied enough to return back to his dorm. After bidding bye to sergeant Sunny, he left for his dorm.
When Jake exited the building for the club, he walked a few more minutes then he was now in front of the second year building but there were four students obstructing his path. "You remember when I told you that it wasn't over, well it's time for you to pay for what you did to me." One of the guys said.
