Chapter 16 - Intense Training

After the bracelet has Promise to guide him through his training, Jason decided to rest in the woods while he regains his energy which took him until nightfall before his energy was fully restored.

"I think I should be heading back home before they begin to worry about me," said Jason as he dusts his robe before going back home.

After getting home, Jason saw his mother waiting outside for his return. Seeing his mother sitting outside, Jason knew straight away that she has been waiting for him to come.

"How are you feeling now," asked Clara as she lifts her head to give Jason a look.

"Much better, for how long have you been waiting here mother" reply Jason.

"Since the time you left the tent," said Clara with a straight face.

"What, you have been waiting for me to come back the whole night, mother don't you care about your health," asked Jason.

"I am more concerned about my children well being besides who is going to look after your sister when I am gone" reply Clara with a smile on her face.

"Come on mother, no one is leaving," said Jason as he helped his mother up before going into the tent.

After going all that is needed to be done, Jason continues to practice his spiritual energy control with his mother watching from not far away. Later that night, Jason sat down on his sleeping mat crossed leg as he went back into the space in the bracelet.

"Alright then where should I start my training," said Jason the moment he is inside the space.

After his arrival into the space, the bracelet spirit came to him as he continues to lead him to the training ground. Controlling a scroll that was made of energy as he places it on the tablet as it begins to glow.

"This is a low-grade fighting technique. With this, you should be able to defend yourself against your peers and it shouldn't take you much time to learn it as long as you pay attention to every single detail" said the bracelet.

Stepping forward, Jason begins to watch the figure that has materialize in front of him throwing blows from all different angles, and with every blow, a kick will follow. After watching the figure use many fighting moves before deleting, Jason went to pick a dummy as he was ready to try does moves out.

But to his surprise, after being the dummy out and was already in a fighting stance the dummy still stood without moving.

"Hey is this thing still working" asked Jason as he looked at the ball of light on the side.

"Yes, it is but will need a little energy to activate" reply the bracelet.

Walking forward to the dummy, Jason places his hand on top of the dummy head as he infused a little spiritual energy on it. The moment the energy went through the dummy, its dead eyes came to life as its stare at Jason who took a step back out of fright.

"Haha, don't worry kid it won't attack you," said the bracelet with a little laughter.

"So how am I supposed to used this dummy then," asked Jason.

"Just give it an order and it will follow suit. Like this, attack" replies the bracelet.

When the dummy received the order, it charged at Jason who was not expecting it, as a punch landed on his stomach, Jason falls on his knees in the ground while holding his stomach as he grits his teeth in pain.

The dummy was about to launch another attack at him only for the bracelet to order it to stop.

"Is this a joke or what, why did it have to attack me when you are the one who gave the order?" said Jason

"It attacks you because unlike me, you are not a spirit" replies the bracelet.

Getting up on his feet after the pain has lessened, Jason decided to ignore the bracelet explanation since the damage has already be done as he ordered the dummy to defend itself. Now that the dummy is defending himself, Jason begins to use the moves that the figure was performing earlier and although he was not able to land a hit on the dummy, he was getting my familiar with the moves, and the more he used it, the more he thinks of a way to change where his attack will hit when the dummy tries blocking his attack.

Practicing for some time, Jason was ejected out of the space but this time around he was not complaining like he used to be, instead, he was happy since he has learned a lot from the dummy and can't wait to go back in there and continue his training.

"Thank you so much, I never knew I will be able to learn so much for a day," said Jason with a smile on his face as he began to stretch his body.

"Don't thank me since it is your possession anyway" replies the bracelet.

"But still I won't be able to learn anything about that space without your help even if I were to become a powerful person," said Jason with a smile.

"By the way, the dummy seem to act like it is alive, and why is that," asked Jason.

"Unlike me, the rest of the treasure in the space has gained a spirit but they are not as intelligent as me. Let's just put it in this way, they are kids" reply the bracelet.

"That explains why it was able to block my every moves perfectly," said Jason.

"Of course it would and it seems like you are improving fast as it does that" reply the bracelet.

"Haha, I was only trying to land a hit on it," said Jason with an awkward laugh.

"Which is very important when you are in battle, always think of a way to get the upper hand over your enemy" replies the bracelet.

"So when are we starting the other training," asked Jason with anticipation.

"Take a break kid, you have just been through intense training.. Even though it may not have any effect on you physically but the same can be said about your mental state" reply the bracelet.
