Roped Fate
Ch.29: Basic Training

Andi was welcome to sit down while waiting for Riko and Tian to finish their business, then the aunt prepared warm drinks and sweet cakes for her. They talked long enough before the two culprits there came with a tangled and messy face.

“Oii chairman .. quickly you want to discuss anything, I have bonyok nih because Tian, you should just throw him out of here,” said Riko with a sad face.

“Where to go? hmm ...,” asked Andi casually.

“Tell me to his room, let me not disturb me again,” pinta Riko.

“Why should I, aren't you her brother,” Andi said.

“He does not want, insistent still want to come.”

“Hmm .. okelah!”

“Don't listen to him brother Andi, I won't interrupt!” yelled Tian a bit splashy.

“Tian, you come back .. I'm having important business with your brother, so next time yes,” pinta Andi.

“Yahh .. okay, huft ... Because you are, beware of you later!”

“Kok so I anyway, wrong himself so brother kok brash.”

Tian was very upset, he went to run to his room, not to forget also with the buzzing door of a little girl who was sulking. However, Riko simply ignored her sister's behavior which she thought was abnormal. Tian is an independent and somewhat tomboyish child, so acting cute is an oddity for Riko.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Riko also invited Andi to go to her study room. There Andi will explain about the basics of how to fight as an exorcist. This time Riko was quite calm and obedient, because it was useless to rebel, he had no logical reason to refuse someone's help. Not only that, Andi will also explain about the marks that bind on their foreheads.

“Given the many bad events that have happened, I intend to teach you fighting techniques, because I cannot always protect you, so I hope you can protect yourself,” explained Andi.

“Tomorrow ...”

Andi frowned again, apparently not as difficult as he imagined, Riko who usually always rebelled, this time would listen to his advice.

“Alright, I will also tell you about the sign, so that you understand and can be more careful again.”

“Ya already ... Just explain! I'm also curious.”

Andi smiled with relief because Riko was calmer than usual and she was also quite understanding, although her cold attitude could not be eliminated, but that was enough to help her. He began to explain it briefly and clearly.

“That sign is called Jiu, which is one of the special marks that was only given to me, maybe you saw Rein also have it, but it has a slightly different shape, the sign is called Shan, the sign is, of course the two signs have their own uniqueness,” explained Andi slowly.

“And you gave me the same sign,” interrupted Riko.

“True, but actually it's not just to open up your special vision, it can also be your strength if you train it properly,” Andi replied.

“But it seems like it is useless, even carrying shit,” denied Riko who is still in disbelief.

“That's because you haven't understood everything, it's a sacred sign and they're also like double-edged knives, if you can't control them well, then that sign will hurt yourself, too,” clear Andi calm.

“That's because you're making things more complicated, just try not to give me that sign, everything will be fine.”

“You sure you said that? maybe you can't use that power yet, but you know .. without you knowing the sign must have saved you.”

“Entahlah .. I'm not so sure, but at this time I still can not trust you.”

“No problem, but I'm sure someday you'll understand.”

“Alright, now continue training only.”

Finally they went back on about basic training. In combat, martial arts were certainly a basic technique that one had to master before they proceeded with the spiritual energy practice. Riko is indeed quite skilled in fighting, but he still does not master the rhythm and stability in fighting.

First, to understand how his own movements and also the opponent, he is still not good enough to see the opponent's weaknesses or predict his movements. In reality, he could not only blindly origin when facing a fighter, he also needed to learn strategy and cooperation.

Andi explained one by one the basic things he needed to learn, maybe after he was good enough to master it, there would be other training. In this world he will not only face with fellow humans, there are so many types of monsters that he has to face with different techniques, he also needs to train the agility and sharpness of the eyes as well as the mind. However, before it returned again to basics, he would have to practice more if he wanted to be on par.

Currently Riko still has not stepped on any level, therefore .. his journey to become an exorcist is certainly still long.

Riko was back pensive, he had to really make up his resolve to mean it, especially in terms of his ego he had to put aside first. It is true that he does not like the chairman, but he also cannot always run away from this problem, at least this is the right way for him to return the favor.

“I will train as you ask, but remember I am still not a member of the club, you understand,” stressed Riko who still remains in his stance.

“Alright, not so bad, I will teach you to fight, maybe now there is little I will teach you, but from tomorrow .. you can practice with me in the emerald space, you can practice with me,” reply Andi who is quite satisfied.

“Alright! I agree, but you don't need to discuss this with others,” added Riko again.

“Oke .. great.”

“Iya .. haha, ka-then .. please cooperate.”

This time the exercise will only focus on punches and kicks, in addition to blocks and attacks will also be a little introduced. Right now they're in the room so they're not going to do extreme exercises that could potentially destroy the room.

This is just a regular exercise as in general, Riko was a bit upset because he felt he was just doing something stupid.

‘If just hitting the heck is common, then where is the important point?’ bhatin Riko is upset.

Blows are just ordinary things, but that does not mean there is no point in training. So that Riko not only protested to him, Andi also gave Riko the opportunity to land a blow on him. Of course he immediately agreed, because this was like a golden opportunity for him to be able to repay that frustration towards Andi.

The first hit was successfully fired. However, of course Andi will deflect it easily, Riko was a bit upset when his best attack was even repelled, therefore Andi again instructed Riko to hit and push his palm.

Riko again prepared with a fist strong enough to land it on the palm of Andi, at that time he felt a little satisfied because he managed to hit his target. Riko took a deep breath before putting a grin on her face. Andi frowned a little, actually not like that the goal.

He again thought, this way is not so effective to make him understand. How not, just by successfully landing a punch Riko was excited, even though he himself was deliberately told to hit and push him, which aims to see how strong his inner energy is.

Andi sighed again, he who did not change position at all, tried to set an example to Riko, at least in this way he would be easier to understand. This time it was Riko who had to be willing to open her palm, to exchange positions with Andi. He agreed, though somewhat worried that Andi would take revenge on him.

This time Andi who will give an attack on Riko, he also prepared to install his horses, seeing that, Riko even protested again.

“Oii ... chairman! don't tell me you want revenge on me,” said Riko a little worried.

“No need to worry .. I will just give you an example so you quickly understand.”

“Hmm ...”

Riko refocused and prepared. However, when Andi started to lash out his punch, Riko was again taken aback. Andi gave an attack with open arms without clenching, then pushed strongly towards him. As a result Riko bounced far enough.

“Oii ... dammit! it's the rigging of his name, you use your power,” protests Riko annoyed.

“Not really, I don't use spiritual power at all, it's pure inner energy, because you don't understand so I practice it directly,” explained Andi casually.

“But I am the victim of violence here.”

“Really? does my punch hurt?”

“So well ... The blow did not hurt at all, but I bounced and fitting the fall that hurt once woee ..” protest Riko again.

“The name is also exercise, yes it is so.. The point is not about how strong you land a punch, but how deep the energy you spend, if in a fight you only rely on your physical strength, you will quickly fatigue without reaching anything,” explained Andi in detail.

“Then?”

“You must train your inner strength, to be stronger and more stable, therefore I want you to perfect your punch first, and you must remember that you will face not only humans, but also humans, but the demons who have varying levels of strength, you should be able to be stronger than them,” Andi added again.

“Have ... I understand, now I'm tired, training continues tomorrow only,” reply Riko who looks saturated.

“Alright ... Then after this I'll excuse you to go home first, I hope you can be more serious to think about training, understand?” andi was more serious.

“Ready, later the training I more diligent again, then come ... I will take you to the front.”

After the training ended, Riko went to drive Andi to his front house. It's not too much of a pleasant-nonsense, just a thank you and see you tomorrow. However, it was more than enough than he expected. Before he could get to the car, the two of them were made a scene by Tian who suddenly came to him.

“Kakak Andi! wait a minute!” shouted Tian.

“Wah ... What else is this? little devil why else?” riko was a little irritated.

“ Hahh .. hah .. big brother Andi, this is me making pudding for you, take it easy ... this is not spicy!” tian shouted in a hurry.

“Fucking sister, you make shame .. your horrorm cuisine, want to be appreciated even still terrible, obviously ... who cook the devil anyway,” Riko quipped.

“Say what? hahh ..”.

“Eh .. Have you two, I take the pudding, I'll taste it at home, you guys just go back inside,” between Andi while taking the pudding box from Tian.

“Wahh .. ready! I hope you like Andi.”

“Heehh ..”

Finally they both want to return after a long debate has passed, Andi can return calmly to his car and ready to drive home.
