Day third on the southern mountain range…
Swish, Swish, Swish—!!
It was just yesterday when Leo instructed me to perform one thousand spear thrusts, blocks, parries, and swings.
Afterwards, he meticulously pointed out my errors and instructed me to focus solely on executing spear thrusts until he deemed it sufficient.
And so, for the past day, I had only been performing forward spear thrusts. And now, I think my speartip is starting to shake less.
Maybe I'm improving after all!
But Leo's voice boomed from the sidelines as he keenly observed me.
"Your speartip is still trembling just before you execute your thrust! Strengthen your footing and keep your thrusts straight!"
Oh, fuck off!

Day fifth on the southern mountain range…
Thak, Thak, Thak—!!
Having spent a full day and a half solely practicing spear thrusts, I was now permitted to advance to practicing my blocking techniques.
