Two days for Cesar passed by in the blink of an eye. More like the last two days either are a repetition of the classes he already had beforehand or classes that, this ti, Cesar didn't get interested in.
Of course, for formality and out of respect for Arnold and interest in teaching him, aside from one particular blacksmith who didn't give a damn about him, Cesar attended him. Additionally, it's not he had the authority to ignore all of them.
He had to attend them because he was still being graded. Moreover, he was learning so what's there to complain about.
"Ugh, I have to attend this class. Right, the instructor… is soone I've t beforehand. Still, this is the first ti we'll be eting officially. I hope to learn great things from this guy,"
Mumbling to himself while riding a cab that would lead him to his designated class, it didn't take long before Cesar was able to see the cab stopped at the parking area.
"Thank you,"
Cesar gave his gratitude to the driver before walking straight towards a large old mansion from the front. Giving off a dangerous aura with sign boards that this was out of reach for anyone trying to trespass it, Cesar made his way through while avoiding the signs that surrounded the mansion.
Once he pushed through the old door, a loud creak reverberated all throughout the mansion as Cesar entered. Looking around the interior of the mansion which is no different from its condition on the outside, Cesar shouted and called out.
"Hey, instructor Spencer! Your student is ready to be taught by your teachings,"
Suddenly, an old man with ocean-like eyes revealed himself from one of the furniture of the mansion before shaking his head with a sigh.
"You don't need to be sarcastic. Look, I know what I did is very uncharacteristic and not right. You just went back to a very harsh situation and… I pulled a prank on you but I ca in good intentions!"
Spencer both raised his hand up as he started to explain, "Kids like you are the future of the world. After hearing the deeds you've done at the mansion such as escaping an Interdiate Nightmare Creature, at the Library, even battling the Keeper of the Void. It was really inspiring! That's why I wanted to see what kind of person you are. I never ant to start a fight whatsoever!"
Cesar, hearing that those reasons are actually valid, sighed and replied, "Okay, all right! I know that we have plenty of ti but I want to learn instead of talking about this."
Since what Spencer did at that ti wasn't intentional to bring him harm, Cesar can just let bygones be bygones. What he ca here for was to receive any learnings coming from Spencer and learn from it.
Spencer, who could understand where he was coming from, was gladdened at the fact that Cesar was willing to forgive but not forget, and started explaining to him.
"What you're going to learn from is a series of Footwork, just like what this class is. You'll have to decide eventually what kind of footwork is suited for you when you're facing an opponent but I will teach you all of what I have in here to you. Be glad,"
Cesar observed Spencer before musing inwardly, 'Is this guy dumb? What do you an I have to choose the series of footwork he'll have to teach when I can just learn all of them?'
Spencer honestly thinks that Cesar will choose one of the footwork he'll be teaching when he already told him that he can teach everything he had cultivated throughout the ti he was alive.
If Cesar is learning one footwork, his list of choices when there's a battle in his front will be limited. So if Spencer was so generous as to give it, Cesar would definitely not miss the chance.
Spencer then began to explain the core teachings when it cos to footwork, "Footwork is a diverse Technique from the past that has been handed down to . You see, I've reinvented it, honed it to perfection, and finally, my very own style is born,"
Spencer raised three fingers, "There are three things you'll have to rember when it cos to studying footwork. The first is positioning. The second is balance. Finally, the third and most important thing to rember is movent. Mastering these three categories is what makes footwork alive. However, practicing and honing it is an entirely different manner. If you can do it, you'll have a mastered footwork on your own,"
Spencer began to demonstrate one of his footworks as he started to run around the area while instilling no sound on the ground or tremors. After 'positioning' himself with the right 'balance', executing the exact 'movent' has never been easy for him.
Spencer then smiled, "This is Stealth Footwork. As it na suggests, you can move without any sound. This footwork is good for infiltration and assassination. This is a very dangerous technique if it had fallen to dangerous hands but quite valuable to allies. Now next,"
Whoosh—!
Spencer suddenly picked up the pace as he moved around the area. Executing the three categories of how a footwork must be done with perfect, it looked like he was disappearing from one place to another. However, there was traces of sound left as he moved.
"This is Speed Footwork. This is viable to use if you are trying to chase down a person or escape a group of people. Yes, it has traces but if you are even a bit faster than to the people you are chasing or escaping from, it wouldn't even matter. You can switch to another footwork then all problems will disappear. As for another footwork, you'll have to learn from …"
Spencer paused as a smirk plastered on his face before rushing towards Cesar, who felt the force of the footwork that he actioned just now.
Whoosh—!
Spencer imdiately ca to Cesar's front and raised one of its legs upward before slamming it down to him.
In response to that quick and destructive attack, Cesar defended himself with the use of his arms.
Thud—!
'It stings!'
Surprised that Cesar was able to defend that, Spencer chuckled and introduced, "This is Explosive Footwork. It works with a mixture of Speed Footwork and Destructive Footwork. Now, are you interested in this lesson now?"
Slightly annoyed that Spencer didn't warn him about the attack, Cesar shouted and retorted with spite, "You sly old man! Warn beforehand!"
A/N: Sorry for not uploading in the past few days. I just got a burnout. Will be releasing steadily from now on (trying)
