Chapter 8: Simulation Preparations
Shaan’s whole body felt even more painful when the training dummy managed to hit Shaan’s body for the umpteenth time. Damn. Who knew how many times he had tried to immobilize all the dolls, but unfortunately, he always failed. He couldn’t even paralyze one of the dolls at all, and instead, the bruises all over his body looked even more obvious.
’Argh! Why I can’t knock down those damn dolls at all.’
"Shaan, hear me out. You won’t be able to topple all those training dolls if you get carried away with your emotions. Raging anger will make you lose focus, and you’ll only run out of energy from making futile attacks on those training dummies. Try to calm yourself down first before making a move. "
’That’s right. What Miss Briana said is indeed true. I should calm my mind first before moving.’
Shaan slowly stood up, but this time he did not move to attack as usual. He seemed to stay in place for a while, then closed his eyes. He slowly exhaled, trying to calm down the anger inside him before making his move.
’Miss Briana has mentioned that these dolls have movement gaps. I’ve done various attacks, but I haven’t found the dolls’ gap points at all. The thing is, the movements of each of these dolls are different, and it will be difficult to... Shaan immediately fell silent. ’Oh my, that’s it. I seem to have figured out how to immobilize those three puppets.’
Gathering all his remaining energy, Shaan once again darted violently towards the training dummies. However, this time he did not launch any of his usual attacks and instead dodged all of the training dummies’ attacks to continue attacking him.
’Just a little bit more... the movement of these puppets should start to slow down after hitting them repeatedly. I just need to wait for the right moment to- Ah, here it comes.’
Shaan once again managed to dodge the dolls’ attacks, and the dolls’ movements began to slow down. Realizing that, Shaan did not want to waste his chance. He immediately swung his dual swords and then rotated his body quickly until he finally managed to subvert the three training dolls simultaneously with a single slash.
