'My Job just got worse.' SQUARESKULL complained to himself.
His worst fears came to pass and he didn't dare to show a negative reaction to them. He didn't dare to be jealous or be resentful. He schooled his expression as Soverick mastered the techniques with increasing ease. Soverick would watch him show the moves, then he will try it out, and soon he will get the hang of it. Then he will improve on it, assimilate it and then fuse it with what he already has. He witnessed this happen in real-time and he still couldn't believe it.
Soverick spent 4 hours mastering thrusting. 3 hours on sweeping. 2 hours on cutting. 1 hour on deflecting and 30 minutes on bashing. He was spending less and less time mastering the techniques. Soverick wasn't learning them, he was mastering them. That is, he was fusing them with his previous understanding. Yet, he was doing them in hours, not days or weeks.
