The laughter in the formation room continued for quite a while before Isaac Aaronax was finally out of breath and needed to rehydrate himself.
"Are you going to continue laughing?" Shi Tian then asked, clearly unamused.
He already knew he was lacking in the combat area by a large margin. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a point for him addressing Isaac as his master in hopes of learning more.
"My bad, I couldn't contain my laughter when you reminded of my old days." Isaac Aaronax apologized for his conduct.
However, Shi Tian could barely feel any sincerity in his apology.
"Just go on and laugh more. Let know when you're finished with it." Shi Tian laid back down and said calmly.
A conversation would be impossible if Isaac Aaronax was still thinking about his pathetic fight and attempting to suppress his laughter. Thus, Shi Tian decided to just let him laugh it all out until it wasn't funny anymore.
anwhile, Isaac Aaronax faked a cough and exuded a dignified aura around him.
"Well, if you say it that way, then it would be impolite of to not laugh," He then said and started another round of laughing.
It was clear the performance of Shi Tian had unveiled so of the past mories that induced such cody for him.
Soti later, Isaac Aaronax finally managed to compose himself and stopped laughing.
"Ahh, it's been years since I have laughed so much," He then said, wiping off so tears of joy that had seeped out.
"Well, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself," Shi Tian rolled his eyes and said.
No matter how calm and collected a person may be, getting laughed at like this was definitely going to irritate them a bit. Not to ntion when it was about their sha and not glory mont.
"Alright, that was indeed overboard coming from my end. Hence, I shall make it up by teaching you what you did wrong and what you could improve on," Isaac Aaronax's face turned solemn and said.
Hearing that, Shi Tian calmly placed the empty water bottle on the floor before getting up. His stamina had already recovered quite a bit, especially with the help of such fresh and purified water to quench his thirst.
"I'm ready to learn, Master Isaac." He then said respectfully. There are tis for jokes and casualness, and vice versa, there are also tis for seriousness.
And right now, Isaac Aaronax was being serious to lecture him properly and inform him of his shortcomings. Thus, the necessary respect must be shown, which was in line with his character.
Just like with Yolanda, those who treated him with goodwill, then Shi Tian would gladly do the sa in return. It was just a sha that Shi Tian could only pray that Yolanda would be able to receive his goodwill soti later.
A few minutes later, Isaac Aaronax once again brought along a big screen, replaying the pathetic performance of Shi Tian against the robot created by the formation room.
Of course, Isaac Aaronax wasn't trying to embarrass Shi Tian whatsoever but was pointing out his flaws.
"Over here, Nathan. Do you see what you did wrong here?" Isaac Aaronax paused the scene in which Shi Tian was using his chanical right arm to block a punch from the robot.
Shi Tian glanced at the screen and pondered over his mistake.
Was he supposed to retaliate with a punch instead?
Or was he supposed to attempt to dodge the punch?
After pondering over it, Shi Tian ca up with an answer of his own. "Was I supposed to dodge the punch and then counterattack?"
When Isaac Aaronax heard that answer, he had the urge to facepalm and wondered if he was mistaken with his eyesight.
"Didn't you attempt to dodge the punch in the fight previously? And what was the result of that?" Isaac Aaronax asked.
"I exhausted my stamina trying to dodge the robot's attack repeatedly…"
"Good, and now tell what happened when you tried to counterattack the robot?"
"My punch force wasn't enough to deal damage to the robot and caused my stamina to decrease even further." Shi Tian replied honestly, even if it was shaful.
Despite being ashad of himself, Shi Tian still believed it was best to admit his flaws. He was trying to learn under Isaac Aaronax, so how could he learn anything if he tried to keep so superficial pride?
anwhile, Isaac Aaronax nodded his head in approval, seemingly pleased that Shi Tian didn't let such setbacks affect him.
"Alright, let explain to you what you did wrong and why." Isaac Aaronax coughed slightly and said.
"First of all, your biggest mistake was attempting to fight the robot head-on when you don't even understand its capability. That's the biggest taboo for any chanic because chanics was never a fighting class, to begin with."
Shi Tian pursed his lips when he heard that.
What does that an anyway?
A chanic was not a fighting class, to begin with, but he was assigned to fight a robot from the start.
Wasn't that a contradiction by itself?
Isaac Aaronax sighed softly when he saw his reaction and calmly explained, "A chanic never fights a losing battle. They would only fight when they are confident in themselves. Hence, the first thing a chanic does when they fight is to analyze their opponent."
"Isn't that what all fighters do? Analyzing their opponent?"
"Of course, but here's the main difference. A chanic always has tools to back them up, and never a one trick phony compared to the likes of berserker or other combat classes."
Shi Tian remained silent and wondered if he could punch Isaac Aaronax in the face.
After all, wouldn't that an the whole point of this combat training would be aningless, given that he doesn't even have any other tools to assist him in battle.
Seeing the irritated expression from Shi Tian, Isaac Aaronax suddenly smirked coldly.
"You must be thinking that I'm toying with you right?"
Shi Tian nodded his head.
"That's right, I'm indeed toying with you, but also educating you."
