Chapter 1024 Teaching the kids
( The Rajput Capital training arena )
" Mother I don't understand why must I learn from that man? Honestly, looking at how stiff he is while walking, I genuinely doubt if he's a good fighter at all-" Judas complained as Hazriel dragged him to the training hall for combat training with Max.
Today, Judas and Gopal were going to have their first training session with their father and more or less both the kids were not very happy with this.
They had both grown up hearing the legendary tales of their father and his excellent combat prowess for which they admired him.
However, while they admired his combat prowess, they were also fearful that they would probably never reach the heights their father did and that the pinnacle he stood at was impossible to achieve.
At tier4, Max was slaying tier6 dragon's while Judas and Gopal could hardly even fight each other.
Nonetheless, they had no option regarding today's training session and had to forcefully participate.
" Greetings father-" Gopal said with a frown on his face as he reached the training ground and Judas soon repeated the same words.
In response Max only said a simple line- "Come"
Saying so, he assumed a rather relaxed battle stance and encouraged his children to attack him first as a team.
" So both of us come together or…?" Judas asked, unsure if one of them was supposed to come or both, while Gopal made the first move and shot 5 arrows in rapid succession towards Max who easily dodged them all.
" WHAT'S WITH THAT SLOPPY SHOOTING? YOU DARE CALL YOURSELF MY SON WITH THAT LEVEL OF ARCHERY?" Anna reprimanded Gopal from the background.
" Don't hold back Judas! Show your father your true strength" Hazriel shouted as well as both mothers encouraged the kids to take this fight seriously.
" Alright then, I guess it's time for some angel special" Judas said as he pulled out two swords from his inventory and assumed a stance which was a mirror image of Rudra in his early days.
Max felt a sense of nostalgia hit him as his lips curled into a smile and his mind superimposed Judas's image over Rudra's as he felt like the Rajput bloodline had been preserved.
"Arghhhhh, Take this!" Gopal shouted as he pulled his bow with all his strength and shot a special energy arrow towards Max.
[ Duplicate Shot ]
The single arrow split into ten smaller arrows all aiming for Max's vitals, however, with a single tap of his toe Max created a wind wave enough to stop all the arrows in their track.
" What?" Gopal said in shock as he had never seen a tier4 attack stopped with such ease before.
"Arghhhhhh" Judas said as he charged towards Max, twin swords in hand as he used the move
[ Twin Blade Hurricane ]
It was supposed to be a very fast move where the blades of a sword were supposed to replicate the speed of a storm, however, much to judas's surprise, Max dodged through that wave of sword strikes without breaking a sweat as he yanked the two swords off his hands after his attack was over.
*Clang*
*Clang*
" Too slow…. Again" Max said as Judas tried to punch him in anger, however, where his body was supposed to be, Judas hit only air as he passed through his image and tumbled to the floor behind.
" Too hot tempered…. Again" Max said as Judas felt his pride crumpling in his heart as he felt intense humiliation for the first time in his life.
He looked up and saw his mother watching with a smile on her face which infuriated him even more as it made him feel like she was on her father's side more than his own.
" I'll show you…." He said as he stood back up and looked at Gopal as he said " Let's work together! I will be damned if I don't land a single hit on this old bastard today"
Gopal, who was feeling the same emotions as Judas but worse since Max did not even address him directly nodded immediately as the two brothers planned to attack Max together.
What followed was two hours of intense sparring session where the two kids used every single move in their arsenal and tried to land a hit on Max, however, without even lifting his feet or moving from his position by a single centimetre, Max dodged and defended against all their attacks while slowly understanding their strengths and weaknesses.
" It's impossible….. we can't do it… hufff..huff" Gopal said as two hours later, he had given up on landing a hit on Max, however, the extremely tired and wildly swinging Judas still kept trying although he too had no plan in mind as to how he could achieve his goals. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
In his heart, Judas realised the true gap between himself and Max and why he was hailed as the strongest, however, while his mind acknowledged Max, he could not allow his pride to accept him.
" You fight without using your head…. Being a brute will get you nowhere. Learn from your past mistakes and improve.
Improve with every attempt you make…. That's what differentiates a good warrior from an average one, not his techniques, not his physical stats" Max said as he tried to teach the kids something important, however, he only got a resounding " Shut-Up" in response.
" Ughhhh…HA"
Judas kept attacking Max for 15 more minutes before dropping dead on the floor with exhaustion.
His vision began to double and his mortal body reached its limits, whereas there was not even a speck of sweat on Max's forehead.
" You're weak….. you assume the battle stance of your great uncle Rudra but you fight like your coward uncle Micheal.
To beat me, you need to fight like a Rajput.
Your maternal uncle's? I beat them all at once without getting a scratch on my face, following their teachings will never make you a great warrior" Max said as he knocked Judas out unconscious and concluded the training session for the day.
