Chapter 62: Illuminating (1)
« New Daily Quest: Melee Training (Novice) »
This is what my quests menu looks like right now. After putting my mind to it, I managed to acquire two more daily training exercises to add to the routine. Melee weapons and Cavalry, all on the novice level just like the Aura training.
The Aura training grants 200 SP after doing it and subtracts 400 if I don’t do it whereas Cavalry and Melee grant 100 SP each without penalty if I miss them. In a way, I was happy.
Earning 400 SP daily is huge and it seems like Sir System was trying to make me stronger, and since I don’t spend much anyway, I am happy my SP Farm is up and running at least.
But now I have to deal with the training. Yesterday, Logan hammered the basics in me and made sure I only learned what I needed. His golden rule was to start from the ground up as if I were building something. I know martial arts so his insights were very inspirational to me.
"Your feet on the ground are the basis of attacking and defending."
"You need to stand accordingly before moving accordingly."
"There are three points at your feet, the thumb, the pinky, and the heel. Those three points stick to the ground when you are standing to make a perfect balance."
"One foot forward, one backward. If you want to move backward, push yourself with the leg ahead, don’t drag yourself with the one in the back. Do it like jumping."
"Your back has a vital relationship to your breathing. You need to breathe in order to fight longer. If you bend your back much, your breathing becomes harder. Straighten your back, lower your posture."
"Try to make yourself smaller in size when standing. I can’t tell you how to do it but how not to do it is not to stand face to face with attacks. If your hit area is smaller, you will have an easier time dodging."
