A While Later, Aki's Training Finishes as he runs towards Zivon who was lying on the field looking towards the sky as Aki walks up to him and looks at his face
Zivon sighs as he closes his eyes
"What do you need, Aki?"
Zivon asks Aki
"Have you decided yet?"
Aki asks Zivon
"No"
Zivon tells Aki
"When are you going to decide then?"
Aki asks Zivon
"Never, I told you I was not accepting any students"
Zivon tells Aki
Aki was surprised to hear that as he then gets sad and then starts to run away
Zivon looks at Aki and was able to see tears in his eyes
"Oi, Wait!"
Zivon shouts towards Aki but he ran away
Zivon sighs as he stands up and starts to walk towards him
He reaches towards Aki as he sees him washing his face
Aki was saying that
"Strong men don't cry, Don't cry, Aki"
Zivon looks towards him and sees himself in him for a second while he did the same when he was a servent
Zivon sighs as he walks towards him
"Oi, Aki come here"
Zivon tells Aki
Aki looks towards him and doesn't listen to him
"Fine don't listen, It was a task to decided you were going to be my student or not but if you don't want to listen then it's your choice"
Zivon tells Aki
Aki hears this and runs towards Zivon
"What is the task?"
Aki asks Zivon
"Take this stick and hang this to a tree and hit it with a wooden dagger 10000 times, if you did that in just 24 hours, I will accept you as my student"
Zivon tells Aki
Aki takes the stick and looks at Zivon
"Is this even possible?"
Aki asks Zivon
"Yeah, My first ever student did it because he really wanted to become stronger, If you really want to become stronger You will be able to do it in 24 hours"
Zivon tells Aki
Aki looks at Zivon as he gets serious and leaves the field to find a tree
He finds the tree and ties the Stick to the tree as he starts to hit the stick with the wooden dagger he made
Zivon stands and looks towards him hitting the stick
The Commander walks next to him as he looks at Aki
"Wait, Do you think He can hit the stick 10,000 times?"
The Commander asks Zivon
"If he truly wants to get stronger then he will"
Zivon tells The Commander
"Is this not too much for a test?"
The Commander asks Zivon
"Yeah, but it is not a test"
Zivon tells The Commander
"Then what is it?"
The Commander asks Zivon
"You will get to know by Tomorrow"
Zivon tells the Commander as he walks away
The Commander looks towards him as he looks towards Aki who was working hard to hit the stick as he walks away as well
Aki stayed up all night hitting the sword and then 23 hours and 59 minutes pass by as Everyone surrounds Aki who has hitten the Stick Till 9990 times
Everyone was cheering for Aki who was tired down a lot but he didn't give
As he hit the stick 8 times more, now he only had 10 seconds left to hit the stick
Aki was very tired but he didn't give up as he hits it one more time
Only 5 seconds left
Aki was very tired as he looks up to the stick as he gives his hand a push one last time and touches the stick one last time to complete 10000 times!!!
But...
He was a second late
Aki hears this and falls on the ground as tears were coming out of his eyes
Everyone looked at Aki including her Sister
Zivon who was looking at this from a very far distance walks towards the tree
The Commander looks at him
"Oi, Didn't you say that Strong Mans don't cry"
says Zivon to Aki
Aki slowly says
"But...I failed at the test to becoming your student"
"Wait, did I say it was a test, Oh it was my fault, It was your training all along"
Zivon tells Aki
"Oh, Oka...."
Aki falls asleep but then he realized what Zivon said and then woke up with surprise
The Commander starts to laugh
Everyone smiled towards Aki
Zivon sighs
"Meet me after you have rested, we will continue your training"
Zivon tells Aki
Aki then looks at Zivon who starts to walk away
Everyone came towards Aki as they congratulated them on becoming
Zivon's Student
