Ayden also had a combat class with a self-proclaimed martial artist at his previous school.
The man was knowledgeable in combat tactics and explained to all students the correct way to use their skills in combat and how to use Mea to improve them.
But when it comes to hand-to-hand combat ... Well, he just used the brute strength of his [Super Strength] ability and called it martial arts.
Putting aside thoughts about the past, Ayden continues his study.
After spending a long time observing the technique, he realizes that it does not appear to be very complicated, and with a bit of practice, he should be able to use it without too many difficulties.
It consists of lessons that relate to posture and methods of attack and defense.
The practitioner assumed a fighting stance where his feet are positioned in a way to increase balance.
Regarding the use of hands, the technique leaves it open, reinforcing the biomechanics and the correct format for executing different punches.
Concerning defense, it is all a matter of reflexes and correct use of fists and legs to block blows. Even citing ways to counterattack the target, using the openings during an attack to retaliate.
The content of the technique reflects its name, "prelude." As much as its content may be considered fundamental, it can be easily modified and altered as the individual uses it and gets used to the movements.
Through the interactive interface of augmented reality, he selects an illustration of a man who appears to be executing one of the attacks. Suddenly the image jumps off the screen and starts performing kicks and blows that were explained in the instructions.
'I think I already understood the theory and movements, now all that is needed is practice.' thought Ayden as he finished viewing the figure of the man performing the moves.
Ayden pins the augmented reality interface in its current place through hand gestures and steps back to try to use the technique.
Still, with the movements fresh in his mind, he puts himself in the correct posture and begins to perform circular kicks and direct punches, returning to a guard position shortly after that.
During the first attempts, He ends up falling or staggering a little but gradually starts to get the hang of it.
Sitting in one of the front rows of the bleachers, Myles observes the students' progress from a distance. Three hours have passed, and some have already started to practice the movements. Because it is a very basic technique, many appear to be making progress.
He then decides to look for the young man who had caught his attention earlier and finds him in a deeper part of the gymnasium.
'Oh, it looks like he is already very familiar with the technique!' said Myles internally. He developed a kind of respect for the young man.
Ayden has been practicing the moves and blows for a long time to the point that he is sweating considerably and his muscles are starting to get tense.
He decides to stop for a moment and take a deep breath. After a short rest and a nice sip of water, Ayden decides to resume training, but this time with his eyes closed.
With his eyes closed, he proceeds to carry out what he has learned so far. His mind is completely blank and focused only on the movements, executing them flawlessly!
while Ayden practices diligently a student watches suspiciously from afar.
'Why is this idiot trying so hard with a practically useless technique?
'Anyway, I don't care. As far as I know, his skill sucks, and after this class, he will be exhausted, and I will report this to Asher as soon as possible.' He thought with an evil smile on his face.
This student was one of the two who were together with Asher in the cafeteria, and he certainly does not appear to have good intentions.
At the same time that the student was having evil thoughts, Myles just saw something unexpected.
'This boy...!!!! Is he applying Mea to the blows?! ' exclaimed Myles internally as he watched Ayden perform the moves over and over in a flawless motion.
Myles' deduction is correct.
At that moment, subconsciously, Ayden began to apply small amounts of Mea to his hands and feet. It is such a small amount that only a martial artist of the same level as Myles would notice since Mea is not visible to the naked eye in its early stages.
After executing the movements and being practically out of energy, Ayden decides to open his eyes while sighing with tiredness.
He is faced with new system notifications.

___
He never imagined that he would earn so much just by practicing a technique!
Suddenly Myles' voice is heard by everyone, including Ayden, who is a considerable distance away.
"As it has been a long time and the class is almost over, now I will demonstrate how someone who masters this technique uses it and its power," He said after nimbly leaving the stands and going to the gymnasium center.
Ayden is already very exhausted, so he also has no reason to continue anymore. He can train whenever he has free time in the underground facilities of the training center.
Slowly, he and other students approach the teacher, who is stretching to perform the movements.
