"You should keep your hands relaxed when you swing that dagger at someone," Alex spoke as he avoided Ann's attack by deflecting it with his simple sword.
"Use your body momentum to increase the power of your attack, and loosen the grip on the dagger a little, it will cause more harm than good."
Alex spoke again and hit Ann's dagger with his simple sword with force. Ann stepped back and looked at her hand which was confused.
"That's what happens when you grip it too hard. Your hand's flexibility will be reduced, the movement speed of the wrists will be reduced, muscles will tire out faster, lower control over the weapon, and lower sensitivity."
Alex spoke and let his words sink into Ann's mind.
What Ann felt the moment Alex hit her dagger was lower control and flexibility as she felt that she could do better, but she was unable to do it.
"Your senses are better than what you had before so you can see and sense the movements but now your body is unable to keep up with it as your posture and movements are not good enough."
Alex spoke again, explaining things in detail.
It's been a week since the incident at the Auction house and Alex has started training both Alice and Ann for a longer period of time. He even trained both Alice and Ann alone for an hour so as to get their postures and fighting styles better.
Right now, it was Ann's time to train, and she was improving at a breakneck pace, which surprised even Alex.
"The time is almost up, so let's get it over with. Attack me with all you've got."
Alex spoke and stood with his right shoulder and leg towards Ann and left shoulder on the opposite side. He held his sword in his right hand and gestured for Ann to attack, which she did, and ran towards Alex with her maximum speed.
*Clang* * Clang* *Swish*
Just like that, they continued to train, or more like Alex continued to teach Ann.
...........................................
In the past week, the Association has been very busy dealing with the foreign Raiders and trying to search for any clues about the thieves.
The one leading the team was Stephan as he was sent by the Association, just in case.
Stephan, however, just wished for the thieves to not be found since he knew that once they were found he would have to fight.
Just fighting with one S-rank raider alone was hard for him, let's not talk about what would happen if he were to find himself in a situation similar to Luna's.
Luna Tuner, the manager of the Auction House had been very busy the whole week as she had to visit many guilds and short out the matter related to Auction.
But she was also worried about Monarch as she knew that even if there were no movements from his side, he would come for his money or mana core.
However, right now she decided to focus more on the job she had at hand.
She had been going to meet every raider that was invited to the Auction to either apologize or compensate, but who knows what she was actually doing.
She had been following her plan of using her skills to get what she wanted, or more as she had always been like this. Whenever she feels that things are getting out of hand, she simply uses her ability.
However, she was feeling rather nervous right now as she stood before the building of the Crimson Lotus guild.
Her senses were telling her that she would not be making any profits here and that she should not use her ability in front of the guild master.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Luna."
As she reached the gate of the Crimson Lotus guild's entrance, she was greeted by the gatekeeper.
"Good afternoon," She smiled at the receptionist which made the poor guy's heart beat like a drum.
"Guild master is waiting for you in the Office, please follow me."
The receptionist said after calming down a bit and started walking towards Alice's office after he saw Luna nod her head.
When they arrived at Alice's office the gatekeeper was about to knock on the gate but just then a soft female voice was heard from inside the room.
"Come in."
