Chapter 79: Trial and error

The training today was split into three parts, first was the seventy laps and second was the twenty eight sword forms practice. Finally he had hand to hand combat with Gazeff.

Aldrich guessed that Gazeff added the hand to hand combat to create a suitable excuse to beat him up. Which he did. That was a blow to Aldrich who thought that he was getting good as a fighter.

Gazeff told him that this style was called the bone breaker art by the monks that taught him. Aldrich could indeed attest that this art was not named in vain.

After the training was over it was almost sunset, so Aldrich decided to leave with Gazeff. No matter how confident he had gotten he wasn't going to risk it in here for a bit of essence and some coin.

"Oh, yeah since you clearly decided to take me as your mentor you before pay up. I want the money up-front each week." Gazeff demanded as they walked back.
