Chapter 188 - Preparing Them For Any Kind Of Attack

Yelena turned back to Ashton who had blushed at Alan's compliment and she exclaimed : "Wow you are so cool ! I hope we get along well, fighting duo fights is going to be an unforgettable experience you'll see."

Kevin smiled, now that the introductions were made he gave his instructions : "Axel and Alan you continue to train together, honey you can test your new speed and Alan you can teach him the two three tricks I taught you yesterday."

Axel and Alan smirked at each other and everyone could see that they were both very excited to finally fight together.

They pulled away a little from the others and once they found an empty spot, they began to circle each other, they both drew their wooden swords and although a smile of defiance remained on their lips, their looks were again serious and focused.

Kevin raised his hand to signal to the rest of the group that he wanted to observe their first exchange, and as he had expected, Axel's advantage of speed was not enough to counter the technique he had taught Alan and Axel after just a few exchanges of blows found himself disarmed.

Alan laughed heartily at the surprised and defeated look on his friend's face and he raised his thumb looking at Kevin with an air of triumph when he saw that the latter was observing them, which irritated Axel even more.

Kevin immediately heard Axel complaining via their telepathic link but he remained stoic and just told him to stay focused, watch the moves he had taught Alan and learn them.

Axel still looked pissed off but he didn't add anything and concentrated again so he could remove that smug look from his best friend's face.

Kevin then looked at Erik who seemed amused by their men's behavior and then asked him : "Are you interested in learning these moves ?"

Erik smirked and said : "Hell yeah ! But it's up to you, I'll learn anything you take the time to teach me."

Kevin nodded contentedly, and told him : "Maybe later then, I was planning to teach you some slightly more radical offensive moves today."

Erik's smile widened as he heard this, he knew that Kevin wanted to prepare him to kill the monsters in the dungeons they were going to loot tomorrow and he was really looking forward to start their training, but before that he was curious to know what he was going to teach Ashton and Yelena.

Kevin started with Yelena by asking her if she knew how to handle a shortsword because before he could find the weapon that best suited Ashton, based on his size and build the shortsword seemed to be the most suitable for him to start with.

Ashton was just a little bit smaller than him and for the moment his Strength and Agility points were too low for him to be able to handle a sword properly, as for the other weapons he would need more time to observe him to choose one that could suit him, so at first, the shortsword was the perfect choice.

When Yelena nodded, he explained to her that today she would have to help Ashton to become familiar with this weapon.

Then the four of them went to the tables where all kinds of weapons were laid out for training and Kevin signaled Erik to take two wooden axes, and after Yelena and Ashton each took a shortsword, he took two scimitars to counter Erik's axes.

Then, back near Axel and Alan, he took Yelena's shortsword and showed her the simple moves he wanted them to work on together and he also reminded her that Ashton was just beginning to learn to fight so he shouldn't train for more than a couple of hours or else he would be too exhausted and the training would be useless.

Yelena nodded, she remembered very well that at the beginning the trainings had been very hard for her, and that's why she had appreciated all the more the classes they had had on the use of their chakra.

Because at least for her these classes had been easy and they had allowed her to rest between the brutal training sessions of the instructors who didn't care about those who couldn't keep up.

But Kevin was different from those brutes and that was good, the moves he wanted her to teach Ashton would indeed be a very good base for him, they were easy to execute and some allowed to parry blows while others allowed to counter attack.

She indicated a spot to Ashton not far from their group and she began to teach him the moves that Kevin had shown her.

She took the opportunity to give him as much advice as possible, and she was pleasantly surprised because Ashton seemed to have a natural ease in learning and memorizing everything she taught him, so much so that it was very disconcerting.

When Kevin saw that Yelena and Ashton had already started practicing seriously, and that everything seemed to be going well, he turned to Erik and asked him : "Are you sure you're okay ?"

Erik nodded and smirked, he got into a fighting stance and said to him : "Anytime !"

Kevin twirled his scimitars in his hands and said : "Before I teach you anything else let's see what you've learned from my previous teachings."

And Kevin was not disappointed, Erik had not only retained everything he had taught him so far, but he had also created his own attacks by combining together several techniques he had taught him.

More than satisfied, Kevin decided to test him on the pressure points and as Erik seemed a little reluctant because of the risks that could imply, Kevin reassured him by telling him that he wouldn't be able to touch him no matter what.

Erik knew that Kevin wouldn't have told him that if he wasn't 100% sure that he could parry his attacks, so he didn't wait any longer, and after they both put their weapons on the ground, they started fighting again with their bare hands.

Kevin continued to guide him in his movements and he also taught him how to parry the specific pressure point attacks.

Even though they were unlikely to meet anyone who could use pressure point attacks, after the discovery of the needles in Ian's body, he preferred to prepare them for any kind of attack.

When they stopped, Kevin checked what time it was thanks to his system and he realized that they had been training for an hour already, he then saw that the others had gathered and were all watching them carefully.

Yelena and Ashton were looking at them with admiration while Axel and Alan, although they looked serious, could not prevent a glint of pride from shining in their eyes.
