The Madec Legacy 13 A Boon Disguised As Torture?
The sound of someone running and wooden weapons clashing in the training court could only be interrupted by the Commander herself."Are you tired, soldier?! Do you want to rest?!""No, ma'am!""Oh, look! It's time to step up the rhythm again!"Riwall had been running around the obstacle course while having to deflect all the attacks she would throw at him.If he tripped, he would be hit at least five times before getting up.If he failed to deflect or dodge an attack, he would be hit until he was able to do so and keep running.Eleanor was relentless, she held herself to avoid breaking the wooden weapons, but she quickly learned how to use more strength to hurt Riwall without damaging them.At first, Riwall made the call to deal with it alone. He did not want to raise his skills and get her attention. But as the training went on, he had to ask Friday for help.Even his trusty AI was worried, the woman was a monster disguised as a human, Friday started by making his movements slightly more precise to avoid hurting himself, but the commander would immediately notice and "step up the rhythm" as she called it.Both Riwall and Friday were 100% focused on the task of surviving this training. They even ignored the various notifications that popped up and kept on dodging, deflecting, and running.When it was time for archery, she threw him a bow and scattered arrows all over the place. His new task would be to run around the obstacle course with his bow in hand, pick all arrows along the way and shoot them at the bullseye. If he missed it, she would just throw the arrow back in the court.But things would never be so simple. Her job was to hamper his progress, so she would alternate between hitting him with the wood weapons and deflecting the arrows he shot at the wrong time.That pushed Riwall and Friday to their limits. They had to think fast to s.n.a.t.c.h an arrow in a position that would favor the shoot while using the obstacle course to kit her around.If Riwall moved too far from her, she would position herself to deflect his arrows. If he got too close, she would hit him and make him miss the target.The blunt weapon training was just as ingenious, Riwall had to hit her with the slow two-handed wood hammer as she hara.s.sed him using wood daggers.The pole weapon training was as hard as the archery one. She blindfolded Riwall and rushed to land a hit on him before running away. His job was to use his senses and the long reach of his weapon to strike her before she came in for another attack. The trick was to make use of the obstacle course to limit the angles that she could use to launch an attack, which was only possible to do because Friday had memorized the whole area.-------------------------
"Good job, soldier! I am proud of your progress today!" She said while putting the daggers back at the rack.Riwall just dropped to the ground panting and couldn't even muster enough strength to remove the blindfold. He heard her steps getting closer and that she was saying something, but before he made any sense of what happened, he lost consciousness.-------------------------Eleanor looked at the kid sprawled on the ground and reflected on what she did."Dam! I think I dropped all my frustration on the kid's training. He progressed so fast, that halfway through the training, even I was having a hard time keeping up with him without activating my skills."She let her stoic behavior slip for a few moments as she looked kindly at the mess of a human on the ground.But it was just for a moment. Eleanor put back her commander persona, got out of the training court and called a healer to save what was left of the kid.-------------------------Riwall woke up in a strange bed. His body was all covered in bandages, but he felt no pain.[Finally, you are awake! Five more minutes and I would have forcibly woken you up!]{G, calm down Friday, what's the hurry?}[What's the hurry? You have been sleeping for 16 hours! We need to talk today with Hector!]{Oh c.r.a.p!}He hurriedly got up from the bed while removing the bandages. Friday had already healed all his wounds exerting her control over his bodily functions."What do you think you are doing! Back to bed, now!" A female healer heard some noises and came in to check on the patient. The boy suffered the full might of Eleanor's training and had multiple bruises and fractures all over his body."How can you even stand up!? We could only cast some minor healing spells; the fractures in your leg were going to be healed tonight!""But I am ok! Mama always said I healed quickly! You can check yourself!"The woman instructed him to lay on the bed while she cast a diagnosis spell on him. She was surprised to see that he was not lying; he was indeed wholly healed."By the G.o.ds, you aren't lying!""See? Now can you please let me go? I can't miss today's magic cla.s.s!"She wanted to keep him in the infirmary to have her superior check on him, but she could always go after him later, it's not like he could leave the place."Ok, but after cla.s.s, you have to come back here, the healer on the night shift is one of our best. I want him to check up on you.""I promise!"-------------------------On the way to his room, Friday updated him on his progress during the training.[I know you suffered a lot. But the training was fantastic for us! I have never been challenged to keep up with your surroundings like when Eleanor was going after you!]{You mean when she was torturing me?}[It's not torture, not even close to it, we both know it.]{Ok, fair enough, it doesn't change the fact that it hurt like h.e.l.l. Tell me, was it worthy?}[Ha! Worthy? Judge it yourself!]-------------------------------Panel-------Name: Riwall Madec-Age: 8-Level: 01 (0%)-Mana purity: 100% (Prismatic)-----BLESSES--------Temelth's Bless----Languages - MASTERED-Unknown (locked)-Unknown (locked)-Unknown (locked)-Unknown (locked)-----ATTRIBUTES-------- Mental Attributes----Intelligence:10-Wits:10-Resolve:10--- Physical Attributes----Strength:10-Dexterity:10-Stamina:10--- Social Attributes----Presence:10-Manipulation:10-Composure:10-----SKILLS-----
