Hard Lessons Learned (Ximal)

Savio pulled himself up the first branch, and then the next. He could feel his shoulders and arms already protesting but Savio ignored it. He knew that training with Ximal was going to be difficult. So he just pushed himself on. Moving up the tree wasn’t that hard; perhaps a little trickier than climbing walls or buildings. Before coming to Ximal, Savio had to climb and run to escape angry monks who he declined joining. They were a violent bunch, and it was quickly obvious that they were more skilled in combat than he.

As far as religion went, Savio never really thought much about it. The gods were there, and they could help as easily as they could hurt. But he never worshiped a particular god. That required too much focus, and Savio’s focus was mainly on training.

It took a short while, but Savio finally managed to get to the branch Ximal had directed him to. With careful balance, Savio stood up and readied his stance once more. Though he did make the mistake of looking down. The young man wasn’t particularly scared of heights but they did still make worried when he wasn’t used to them. An acrobat once told him to always hold on to his fear of high places, that way you will try to avoid falling as much as possible.

Savio gulped and made the first punch, and instantly almost lost his balance. He quickly dropped down into a crouch and held on to the branch to steady himself. He took a deep breath to calm his racing heart before standing up again to attempt the punch once more. It took several more tries, and a few close calls before Savio finally figured how to keep his feet from moving while rolling his upper torso into the punches.

His body burned and his skin stung from the sweat touching the scraps caused from slipping on the branch. “How many should I do, Ximal?*

Xi smirked and plopped himself down on the branch before rolling backwards and keeping his legs hooked around the branch like some sort of monkey. "With the punches do a quarter as man as you did below...So...Twenty five should suffice."Xi himself however wasn't exactly going to sit idle, he'd shifted into this position to start doing something of a training regime himself. Pulling his weight up and doing reverse crunches whilst hanging from a branch. As Xi hauled himself up and down in a similarly rhythmic motion to how he had below. His mind began to roll with some questions. Midway through pulling himself up he paused and asked one. "Mind if i ask savio. How exactly did you hear about my school uphere anyhow? I've been wondering ho i should if i should advertise it. I mean, it's not exactly in the city with giant flashing torches and a big sign saying "School here". " A simple question for him to find out how word of his school was getting around.

Still Xi couldn't quite figure something out. I wonder...I've been practising my djed usage a lot...And i cant quite figure out why but...It's almost like i'm able to see inside myself...If i can then why cat i use it to see inside others? Id my control of the djed within only limited to myself ? or am i able to manipulate the flux of other people? I want to test this out but I'll need to find someone or something to test it out on...Animal, or sentient...I want to experiment with this.

Savio nodded as Ximal gave his command, and began his punches. Sweat was rolling down his chest and back and his muscles screamed but Savio never stopped but his breath was slightly labored as he answered Xi’s question.

“Shortly after I left home, I went to Syliras to bid some friends good bye. They knew that I wanted to find a Master to train me, so they told me that they had heard of an Unarmed Master in Nyka. And since I had no real idea of where I was going to go, I decided that this would follow their advice and come here. Along the way, I learned of your name.”

It did give some comfort knowing that Ximal was training along side him. To see the pure strength the man possessed was awe inspiring. It was like watching a massive predator stalking its prey.

Xi crossed his arms back across his chest as he continued, holding onto the tree with just his legs, letting his body released from it;s tightly crouched position he snapped his arms out to help him pull himself back up and onto the tree. So his advertising in syliras worked ? Interesting. "Well on the tenth to the fifteenth of this season i did a campaign of advertising my school in syliras...It seems to have worked as i'e had a lot of applicants...All of which want to know how to get better. Few amongst them though show enough potential to get to a level where i'll show them how to sue my techniques...Still once your done up here we'll head down and grab something to eat in town the sun's just breaking the horizon...it's past dawn and i want food. So we'll have to head into town. " Xi smirked sitting on the edge of the branch and finally feeling like he could make something for himself...Heck he already had but...He needed to have it grow and flourish.

In short time Savio finished his task. His arms left like jelly as he finally lowered them and shook out the muscles. Oh yes, they will be incredibly painful tomorrow. With less grace than he had going up the tree, Savio made his way down after Ximal. Food sounded like a brilliant at that moment. “Give me a moment, I need to get my boots.” With that, Savio ran inside the building and to his room, the second bedroom to the right, and started hastily pulling on his boots before running once more to meet his teacher once more.

As he walked alone side Ximal, he felt rather proud of himself. Today he learned how to throw a proper punch!
