Damien closed his eyes and breathed out heavily before turning to look at the man in front of him. He said to Xavier, "You are being unfair. If I wear these, I would be slower than you. At least you should wear a pair as well!"
"I don't need to," Xavier replied with a calm voice. "I will stand right here. All you need to do is hit me."
"What?" Damien felt like he had misheard something and thus asked Xavier to repeat it again.
The man raised his head and smiled at him before saying, "All you need to do is to hit me. If you succeed in doing so, I will begin the next step of the training."
If not for the fact that Damien knew that Xavier couldn't make a joke even if his life depended on it, Damien would have felt like Xavier was pulling his leg.
"So all I need to do is take a hit on you?" Damien said while tying the ankle weights around his ankles.
