Five more tries and Linc became agitated. His 'gifted' student was turning out to be a failure.
"Okay. Maybe I'm slightly overestimating your capabilities. Let's try something else."
He retrieved a few practice stones from his inventory.
"I'll throw these at your head and you'll deflect them. It won't be as effective as deflecting a speeding arrow but it will be a good start."
The first stone went directly to his head. He tried to deflect it and when he couldn't, he dodged it.
"No, no, no. You can not dodge it. You aren't allowed to move an inch. This is supposed to test your ability to stop moving projectiles. Got it?" Linc was getting deflated by the second. He was probably regretting his hasty decision to become a mentor.
"Just don't dodge, please."
Hell, no. Gaus would dodge any stone before it hit him on the head. That wasn't what he signed up for.
