Chapter 26

Rimmer murmured that the training methods in the past were too conventional.

"That's good. I like that."

Martha Zieghart smiled cheerfully and stepped forward.

"I thought I was going to learn the boring seven shapes over again, but this is the correct way. There's no reason for an outstanding person to step down to the level of a pathetic one."

"Well, I didn't think about that. Anyway, reenact the 'Seven Shaped Fist' you just saw where you are standing. If I think it's enough, I'll let you start the next piece of training."

As soon as Rimmer finished talking, the children started performing the 'Seven Shaped Fist'.

'They have a good foundation.'

Raon's eyes shone as he watched the children around him.

'It's not a prestigious family without reason.'

He'd thought they would half-heartedly learn it and move on to the next step because it was part of the basics, but the children were moving their fists precisely, with an accurate amount of strength.

"Hmm... As expected."

Rimmer nodded in satisfaction.

"Martha Zieghart, Burren Zieghart, Runaan Sullion..."

When he called the names of trainees who'd properly performed their 'Seven Shaped Fist', there were less than twenty people left in the center.

Raon Zieghart was standing among them with glittering red eyes.

"Hmm."

Rimmer nodded, watching the 'Seven Shaped Fist' that Raon Zieghart was performing.

'As expected, he hasn't learned it.'

His punch was unrefined, with no proper shape. He didn't seem to have learned anything, just as Silvia had said.

However, since Raon had some experience from copying the flow of 'Void Tiger Fist' from Burren, he was going to grasp it in a few days.

'Let's see the other children...'

He couldn't help watching Raon, but he also made sure to check the other children, heeding Glenn's warning.

'Not bad.'

Since they were recommended children, they mostly had excellent control and insight. They looked like they would progress to the next step pretty soon.

'Competition is so nice.'

It had the same principle as long-distance running.

The children running ahead made an effort to keep those behind them from catching up, and those in the back did their best to catch up to those in the front. It was a virtuous circle of training.

'Now then.'

Rimmer checked on the trainees-including Martha, Burren and Runaan-that managed to pass the 'Seven Shaped Fist'.

Since Martha had already finished learning the second step's fist technique, she'd started training with the third step, 'Thundering Fist'.

'I guess that makes sense.'

Martha had failed last year, but it was because of her personality, not her ability. It looked like he needed to prepare something for her to train so that she wouldn't waste her time, along with a way to fix her temper.
