5 MINUTES LATER…
"Monster!" Arma spoke as he looked at with his eyes widened. I scratched the back of my head with my hand and smiled at him. "I told you, I am stronger than I seem," I told him before moving towards him again, preparing for another slash.
[Ti Rejection!]
Once again, he took the attack without caring to dodge it. He was rather focused on defense and healing than dodging at this point.
-Slash!
-Pierce!
-Pierce!
-Slash!
-Slash!

He kept using his spear to attack from all the sides and everyti he did that
[Ti Rejection!]
I simply rejected the attacks as if they didn't even occur. However, it wasn't getting any results whatsoever. We were more or less at a stalemate.
After another 2 minutes of useless exchange, he kinda stepped back and just looked at with a slightly annoyed gaze,"seriously, I have never t anyone as annoying as you. Don't take it personally, but this situation… it's irking ."
"It's okay. Take your ti," I spoke with a kind smile and he shook his head with a slight chuckle as he mumbled,
"It would have been better if you had the capability to kill , but you… how co you have no skills at all? All you have is a single slash. That's all. Plus, I can't really hold back either."
'Well, I can kill him if I use 'that' slash, but honestly, I don't want to kill him. Especially after he has been so frank with with everything. We would have been good friends if not for the situation,' I thought as I looked through the System, trying to figure out a way on my own.
"What should we do now, Michael? I don't sense any change in your body, so it seems like you, too, can continue forever. What should we do? Fight for forever?" He asked, as he couldn't figure out what to do either.
"Hmmm, can you teach how to use a spear? Not like we are running out of ti either… maybe, I can defeat you that way?" I asked with slight curiosity. He observed with a sudden blank face before he started laughing out loud…
'How much ti in the outside world will pass, if I spend a year here?' I asked, just out of curiosity and
[12 Seconds]
Was the answer. Might as well utilize the ti here. After all, we are talking about one of the 5 greatest spearman here.
"Not a bad idea… but are you up for it?" he asked after gaining back his composure and I pondered a little before nodding at him. It was totally fine. I can handle that.
"Well, let's check it then. First change your stance into," he then imdiately began walking towards and started helping with all the movents and stuff.
Compared to the swordsmanship stance, which was a balance of defense and offense, the spearman ship was more on the offensive side. That's what I conferred with, the way I was positioned right now.
"It was more suited for races with more leg strength, so I kind of am surprised a human like you can maintain this position," he said as he observed and I smiled at him. Well. Technically, I am not a human anymore.
Then he positioned a wooden spear in my hand.
"Now then, try to pierce this dot," he spoke as he created a dot in the air. And I moved my spear extrely slowly as I reached the point where he created that dot. Before bringing my spear back.
Once done, I broke down on the ground as I asked,"How long did that take?"
I was all sweaty and everything and he was just looking at with a bright smile,"I was surprised that you didn't break the stance, not even once. It did take over 3 weeks to finish that but-"
"3 Weeks?!" I questioned as I gawked at him and he chuckled as he spoke,"so you didn't even notice how much ti has passed, huh? Now that would be interesting."
He then hurriedly forced to stand up, take up the wooden spear again, and repeat the sa steps all over again. I did that, once again it took 3 weeks… and once again… I repeated…
Ti passed quite fast from that point onwards as I tried my best to not make any mistakes and every once in a while, Arma told about himself and his life. I, too, shared bits of my life with him while I did the practice.
Since 1 month here was rely a second outside, I wasn't exactly worried about anything being late or sothing. All the more because, even if I stayed a day outside, George and the others were there to protect .
As ti passed, or even years did… I was finally able to make the first hit within a second or less. The ti it took to learn this much was… damn… 30 weeks and one day.
'At least it didn't take more than a year,' I sighed on the inside as I looked at him and said,"Let's move to the next move."
He laughed out loud once again as he nodded before helping with another slash which was exactly similar to the last one except about 1 cm away from the original point.
Since everything was similar, it only took 4 weeks to perfect that as well, as well as improving from another point as well. Soon, we shifted to learn more and more moves, things got smoother and everything started coming naturally to .
The timing, the points, everything matched quite well. For the next few months, I learned all the basic moves before moving to a bit more complex stuff.
While I was doing the slashes without any movents, I started moving along with slashes, and with every slash, I also learnt how to use my own breath into the slashes. There is a reason why we breathe the way we do, and Arma told ways to bypass that as well.
According to him, I was learning everything too fast. And what I was more amazed about was that, rather than getting jealous or anything, he was really proud of .
And just like that, ti had passed before I realized anything…
