As Autumn was still in contemplation, Mia started walking to Sarah and wanted to pick her up but Sarah refuses to budge making Mia shook her bitterly and instead sat beside Autumn to play with Sarah.
"Hey, big brother what's your name?"
Autumn came back to reality and turn to look at Sarah looking at him with deep watery eyes filled with curiosity.
"My name is Autumn, Bloody Autumn"
Autumn smiled lightly as he said his name to Sarah making her feel happy as she keeps repeating his name over and over again.
"Autumn, Autumn...."
Autumn then stood up ready to stretch, then he saw Sarah clinging to him like koala making him smile wryly and tried to get her down but she didn't budge and instead he got a look of sad teary eyes making him give up and piggyback her instead, making her cheer with triumph.
"Yaaaayyyy"
Mia saw this all happen and smiled wryly and ask Autumn.
"So what are we gonna do?"
Autumn looked at her and said with a smile on his face.
"Of course to train you and Sarah because if you don't have strength how can you follow me and walk in the path slaughter."
Mia was stun and looked horrifyingly at Autumn as he mentions Sarah walking in the path slaughter making her said out loud.
"HOW CAN YOU LET SARAH WALK IN THE PATH SLAUGHTER SHE IS STILL A KID WITH A PURE HEART!!!!"
Autumn stun by Mia's outburst then remembered his words bit by bit and made a look of enlightenment and said to her in with clarity this time.
"No your walking into the path slaughter and as for Sarah she will walk a different path from you"
Mia calmed down instantly and breathe a sigh of relief.
Sarah saw this all while sitting on Autumn's shoulder and holding his head making her think out loud.
"Big brother and sister looks like a couple when arguing"
Autumn and Mia was stun by the sudden sentence Sarah made them speechless and change the topic instead.
"Mia today I will train you in using the sword, footwork, using the environment, and tricks into killing someone higher level than you"
"As for Sarah, I will teach her a different kind of training which is much easier than yours"
Autumn said seriously to Mia.
■■■■■■■■■■
And so the training starts.
In the morning Autumn taught Mia the seven basic techniques of the Asura Swordsmanship which are stab, cut, slash, parry, flick, slide, and feint. Autumn also told her some of his insights in the technique making it easy for Mia to understand.
From morning till evening Autumn only taught Mia the sword art and made her practice again and again until he deemed the action satisfactory making Mia suffer harsh criticism and some of her joint being poked.
Autumn perfectly controlled his strength so that Mia will only suffer pain and no bruises or harm. He only targeted the muscles joints around the legs, arms, and waist if her posture was wrong or made a mistake in form.
■■■■■■■■■■■■
Nighttime...
Mia laid down on her back and panting heavily while still feeling the excruciating pain in her muscles especially the waist since she made more mistakes in keeping a proper posture and angle.
"You made great progress this training session and your perception is quite high you have already entered the entry point of the sword art"
Autumn praised Mia enthusiastically.
Mia only responded with a painful smile and laid down on the cold hard floor.
Autumn then continues saying.
"Tomorrow I will teach the footwork and hope you can reach the entry-level because the day after I will have you battle beast to increase your combat instinct and hone your sword art and footwork."
Mia was paralyzed for a second and then shouted madly.
"WHAT KIND OF TRAINING IS THIS, I ONLY GET 2 DAYS TO LEARN ALL THE TEACHING YOU TAUGHT ME BUT IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH YOUR GONNA MAKE ME BATTLE A BEAST AND HONE MY SWORD ART AND FOOTWORK!!!!"
Mia was outrage and frustrated by the words of Autumn making her fight a beast with only 2 days teaching making no sense at all, if he gives her 2-3weeks she will agree without any hesitation.
As Mia was about to continue complaining, she heard a cold voice that made the temperature hit rocked bottom like an ice cave.
"Huh? What are you complaining about, in the Asura clan the moment you reach the entry-level of the skills, you cannot progress without having to battle or fight in a life and death situation."
Autumn said coldly with killing intent in his eyes.
Mia was poured with cold water and made her swallow all the words she was gonna say and lowered her head in shame and could not find any way to words to refute.
As Autumn was about to continue scolding Mia, a sweet voice rang behind him.
"Big brother Autumn I want to eat roasted rabbits pwetty pwease~."
Autumn turn around and said with a gentle and caring voice.
"Okay I will roast you one, just wait here for a minute while I hunt some"
Sarah cheered happily and jump into Autumn's embrace while nudging her face in his chest.
Autumn smiled lightly and patted her small head lightly and hug her back, completely ignoring Mia behind him making the previous cold cave disappear and was replaced by the warmth of a caring brother to his little sister.
Mia was stunned speechless and sign with relief and slump down and just laid down while preparing mentally for the training the next morning.
■■■■■■■■■
After finishing dinner they prepared to sleep for the night. Autumn leans in the corner the same as yesterday and Sarah jumping into his embrace snuggling cutely while wriggling around to find a better posture to sleep. As for Mia, she was still lying on the floor, the same posture when she was eating when they ate dinner making Sarah feed her like a baby.
