The next few days were filled with intense training sessions between Victor and Bel.
After breakfast, they practiced on the outfield, but contrary to Bel's expectations, Victor didn't teach him how to use that powerful punch that seemed capable of tearing the air itself apart. Victor only went through the basic drills, scolding Bel about proper stance, foot placement, and breath control.
"The sword is an extension of your body," Victor explained as he demonstrated simple movements with the sword. "You must feel every fiber of your being connected to the blade."
Bel, however, grew increasingly impatient.
Although he now respected Victor immensely, he had already learned and practiced many of these basic movements on his own. He wanted to move on to more advanced techniques, more powerful moves, and most of all, he wanted to replicate the incredible move that Victor had demonstrated on the first day.
