It's been a fun day, until sometime
“Well! Comeing! What are you waiting for? It's practice time, isn't it?” brother Ruly patted hard on my back
“Ahh, Brother Ruly!" ugh, my back hurts! Perhaps his hand had gotten used to holding the sword, making it as hard as a rock!
But whatever it is, I've asked my brother to train me, so I can't refuse him.
"Well, what should I do now? Running away? Or maybe, warming up?” I close the book and put it.
“Follow me first!”
“Alright!” I shouted, following Brother Ruly from behind.
I don't know where I'm going. But I know, he will definitely train me well. And of course, I will definitely become stronger! I'm sure it is.
Oh yea! It seems, this was also my promise in the past. I remember I wanted to become stronger to be able to protect certain people?
“We've arrived, lo!” he said while standing on a large rock in the middle of a deep stream.
Although I said deep, the water is so clear that you can see a small rock at the base.
“We will learn from the basics first!” after saying that, he went into the water.
I was surprised, not knowing what to do. I decided to wait for him out of the water by observing the forest scenery.
DEGGS!!!
The unpleasant feeling returned. It felt like my heart was gripped by something, which came from inside my body.
"After all, huh? Looks like I should indeed release some Fehl into the air?" I muttered a little.
"Designing about that, he's been in the water for 5 minutes. What the hell's going on? He can't drown, can he?" Oi oi! No kidding!
I immediately dipped my head in the water, looking for its presence from the glass-clear water.
Something came from below, heading up quickly towards my face. My instincts say danger!
I immediately jumped up, avoiding anything that would come from below.
“Uwaah! How long have I been inside?” that thing, Brother Ruly?!
“Se-se-about 5 minutes,” I replied.
“Haha. My estimate is correct. At least, you should be able to hold your breath for that long!" he started to catch.
"You know? Breathing is important in close quarters. If your breathing is lacking, you will get tired quickly. If you get tired quickly, your movements will become weak. If your movements become weak, you will definitely lose. Whoa! That sentence was good too! Can I make this poem too!” he said with a laugh and patted my back in excitement.
Hufft, this is how he is.
“Anu, do I just need to hold my breath for 3 minutes? Last brother practiced 5 minutes right?” manyworry.
“Which may be like that!” he said while laughing. “That is your minimum time before entering the next stage!” heh what?
He laughed out loud. This guy! He even laughed at the sight of my changed face.
“Heh?! Impossible!” I still can't believe it.
“What is it? Beginners can do it! If you want to become a strong sword knight, you should be able to be like big brother, at least 10 minutes!” he said smiling knot. But in his smile there was something else.
Hii! It's hideous!
“A-ahh, so?” I hesitated while gulping.
“By the way, if you fail to do so, there will be a penalty lo!” he said lightly. I'm a little slack off.
"Can you give me a more normal workout?" I subconsciously gave a quick response.
His eyes tapered, like he was about to turn into a demon lord, or maybe this torture drill was already as demonic as you know?
Shouldn't it be natural in the beginning for me not to be able to do it?
“Cause! The punishment is just squat jump! Every 6 seconds that fail, it will be converted into a squat jump, so work on it! Do not get hit by this punishment yes!” he said loudly.
Heh? Jump squat? The punishment is easier, right? But there's no way he's giving you the easy thing. I have to be vigilant.
“Ba-fine. I'll try it!” I tried to convince myself. I stared at the calm river water, taking a breath a week as I could.
I'm trying to keep my heart rate down, so oxygen doesn't go away fast.
After I completely relaxed, I only dared to put myself in the water.
(“Pacify yourself, imagine yourself fusing with nature, make the heart work slower,”) I try to focus. My heart kept whispering beautiful words.
I try not to move at all. Trying to feel my heartbeat.
Aye! My heart rate is weakening. It felt like death was coming to pick me up.
But, along with the slower my heartbeat. I felt something different appear in my body.
I tried to open my eyes little by little.
Just incredible! My surroundings were getting slower, even I myself felt that my falling to the bottom of the river was getting slower.
I saw a fish passing in front of me. I don't know why he didn't ripple when I approached him slowly.
I tried to touch her. I just gave her a soft elusan, like I was petting a kitten using my index finger.
But for some reason, he seemed to be pushed away from me with his twisted body shape!
What'sthat?!
I lost my focus, and my heart beat went back to being fast. Everything slow around me is back.
The fish I touched was thrown far away, and the water behind me that I made to push slowly became a huge wave.
("Isn't that too much?!")
Like, I've felt something like that. When and where? I try to remember.
I changed my sinking position to be like a person who was thinking hard.
“Ah!” I shouted, and accidentally opened my mouth.
Stupid me!
I swallowed a few glasses of river water for a moment. I couldn't control my body, when I was panicking and I was moving recklessly.
("Yeah! I'm gonna die I'm gonna die!") I almost shouted back, but swiftly Brother Ruly pulled me up!
“Ghem! What'sthis?! How only 2 minutes less?” tanyakanya. I just raised my hand and asked him to stop talking.
“How? It feels exciting, doesn't it? You must have felt something while you were there!” he said, as usual.
“Yes. I, feel..something.hah! Different ones!” I shouted while still gabbling.
He laughed instead, looking at me who was still in this life and death position.
“Yes yes! What are you feeling?!"
“I feel closer,”
“Hm hm! Getting closer to what?” this is really a man. Sometimes it sucks.
“Very close to death tofu! Everything arrived so slow, even my heartbeat slowed down. Seconds by seconds it was slowing down, like swallowing me with him. Surely if I continue I will die!” I said with a flat face, looking at my slightly bewildered brother.
“What is that right? Too bad. Maybe you can get something! Like, death!” he said that thing calmly.
His voice was made so that he sounded like he was worried about me, but he said it with a happy face.
Can you hide your happy face in front of her? It hurt to know! Even for me!
