Barely 1 week had passed since Dan handed Kyle the martial technique—Air Steps. Kyle had been so excited to learn it at that time but his confidence had waned the moment he had seen its process.
Martial techniques were physical and unlike spells, they didn't give one the privilege of specific instructions that led to a goal. Kyle had once skimmed through the technique and had figured out what it was all about.
The technique entailed various positions, steps and postures one was required to be able to maintain before they could undertake it.
Kyle wasn't naive to think that it would be easy to pull off. The postures and steps were very complex and would all require diligent practice to master any of them.
