Training is a slow and tedious process; even after a couple of weeks, we barely made any progress. Those two weeks were hell on earth; I had never been beaten this badly in my life. Many times I tried to counterattack, but was simply tossed around like a sack of potatoes; I tried even using my abilities, but my reflexes were slower than his, leading me to get strangled, and when I tried to block his blows, a single feint would be enough to make me waste my energies and allow him to hit me.
The only instance in which I managed to both successfully dodge one of his attacks and evade his follow-up using my ability was when I was moments away from passing out; my mind was hazy, I could barely keep my eyes open, and my legs were moments from collapsing.
