Reincarnation Of Audemars - Chapter 112

Passersby were curious as they peered from the gates outside as they watched the father and children jogging a lap of approximately 400 meters before breaking into a sprint and then slow down to a jog afterwards.

This type of exercise is to enhance their cardio so that it would be able to pump blood and oxygen throughout the whole body. Also, it is to train them to cover long distances in a sprint and jog manner to evade enemies and to cover their tracks and distance well.

Secondly, this is to train their focus that after running such a great distance, they would meet their first obstacle… The Low Wall. On certain instances, I used to witness trainees that simply end up bulldozing the wall after performing a mere 800 meter run down.

It’s either their legs refuse to listen to the command to stop or simply they wanted to bring down the wall in order for them and the rest to clear. It’s either that or they wanted a high wall instead to scale.

Its been a week since I had woken up from the coma and I could feel the leg muscles burning at my valves and thighs. My mouth was dry and my throat was dry too since I used my physical strength to cover the distance of slightly more than 5 clicks.

In the end, after my 6th round, I have to use my chi breathing to regulate everything back to normal and on the 8th round, it was smooth sailing onwards. I saw the children seems to have boundless energy due to their upgrade in their base level as well as their attributes and they PK their way at the obstacles before the Low Wall.

They were laughing and joking around and yeah, I was a bit jealous that even I occupy a youthful body but my original ailments were brought along with me too and didn’t just disappear. Hmm, maybe visiting Pointus would have some remedies for me to apply.

I was soaked through with perspiration after we finally cleared the 13 rounds around the castle and I finally noticed a group of adventurers were gathering and discussing among themselves at the gate entrance after they saw us running around. When the children and I finally hit the low wall, I was the first to clear it with a leap, a kick and a snatch, sitting on top of the wall and hoisting the kids one by one and throwing them off at the sides.

Since these children had a newer system than mine, their acrobatics and athletism were greatly improved. Soon we cleared the second, third, fourth and continues until we cleared the ramp. The moment I landed past the concertina wire, I felt as if my whole strength had left my body and sunk into the ground and leaving just my body above it.

“OOOFFFPPPHHH…” I grunted as I landed and rolled to the ground to break my fall and ended up back on my feet as I jogged on the spot to recover my lost strength… I really need some isotonic drink right now.

I watched the children did the same way as me, thinking it was one way to PK and furthermore their Daddy had done so acrobatically… “Phew… Daddy, you really wanted us to be as strong as you, eh? Is this want we will be doing each day before the start of anything else?”

“That’s right, strong mind and body. We would take a 5-minute break and then I would guide you through the training grounds next.” I suggested next as we went over to the courtyard where a water dispenser was there as we helped with cold water just to replace some lost fluids.

“Since all of you are considered as Ranger-Assassin-Wizards, it would be good to learn some basic swordsmanship. You had all been issued with the Dragon Fang Assassin’s Dagger, and it’s time to learn some basics.”

“Pick up a wooden dagger from the weapons rack and follow me after I raise the Wingchun statutes.” I pressed a button near the wall next to the weapons rack and 8 Wingchun statues raise from the ground slowly as I took a dagger and a staff for myself as I wished to demonstrate to them.

“Most importantly is watch your stance and posture and make it as small as you can and low to the ground. This is a horse stance with your legs apart, this gives you an equal balance to your body but gives you restrictions to parry or counterattack your opponent.”

“Try this stance, one foot forward and one in the back to support most of your weight.” as I demonstrated from an upright position until I am able to get lower to the ground with my left foot forward and my right holding the dagger and pointing inwards as I shield my arm to my face.

I adjusted the weight to my front foot and with a slight spring I was able to cover a distance and perform a slash across from eight to left, then an upward slash turning the blade inwards from left to upper right.

I sidestepped to the left and perform another horizontal slash before delivering a reverse turning back thrust with my left foot against the centre of the statue that made it vibrate violently after it was kicked.

“The purpose of the kick is to bring the opponent down and once he is down, a stab through the chest or on the base of the throat would silence him forever,” I explained while Patricia was clapping her hands excitedly as I moved and deliver these slashes and kicks that left after images.

It was quick and deadly and I showed the children stances, footwork as well as delivering precision hits with their dagger. The concept is to kill as swiftly and silently within a few short seconds before the opponent could counter react.

“Daddy, in this case, would you teach us how to learn to punch and kicking effectively?” Jane asked since she was awed at how fast I moved and deliver the second slash even before my feet touched the ground. And the moment when it did, a kick had already been sent right into the chest of the statue.

“Hmm… I think a new breed of Class would emerge soon right here in the Castle of Keating-Macleod after all. In this case, let’s start from the basics. An open palm, a closed fist, both can be used to block, to counter as well as to slash, chop, punch and hammer respectively and aimed mainly at the face, eyes, nose, under the nose, temple, jaw, cheekbones, throat, side of neck, rear of neck, solar plex, ribs, kidney, underarm, joints and so on.”

And so the children were taught several types of punches that includes a normal lunge punch, roundhouse punch, scissors punch, back fist punch, hammer fist punch, one knuckle punch, middle knuckle punch, knife hand strike, ridge hand strike, backhand strike, bear hand strike, bird beak strike, ox jaw strike, cobra strike and lastly the palm heel strike.

Next I taught them the basic of kicking that includes side kick, turning kick, hook kick, front snap kick, back kick, back hook, roundhouse kick, reverse kick, spinning kick, flying kick and jump kick which could be used as a combo such a spinning back heel or a reverse back kick.

I demonstrated the parts of the foot for striking including the knee as well. I also included the infamous balls kicking technique and I told them a story about how I kicked the balls of a giant rat until it peed and shat on the spot and the balls become enlarged.

The children laughed so hard that they are literally rolling on the floor laughing and clutching their stomachs at the same time. “Daddy… My stomach needs stitches after this…” screamed Kayla as she rolled on the floor and couldn’t stop her tears due to excessive laughing.

After they had done laughing like a pack of hyenas and regained their composure, I tried to continue with them while putting a serious look. Last but not least I showed them ways to block incoming attacks such as single forearm block, low blow, rising block, palm block, knife hand block, double forearm block, double knife hand block and the upper block that follow through with a punch or a kick.

Posture, stance and balancing also affect the way a punch is thrown or a kick is performed. The most important is aim, focus, speed and power. A kick can be combined with kicks and punched or a punch to be combined with punches and kicks.

“The main thing here, children, is to be able to bring down the enemy as fast as you can with the minimum number of movement. There must be a way to actually put this to work effectively. Just wait a while first while Daddy worked out something for you.”

I was thinking of a punching upright dummy but we have the Wingchun statues already. Maybe I should perform of a combo kicks and punches, at least these children would understand how. And to get protective gear unless they hurt one another. But I need a live opponent and not a dummy or Wingchun statue.

We took a break for lunch and when I met Rebecca, I asked if we could hire the hoodlums that were assigned to the quest in her old home for the rest of the evening. In that way, if they got injured or killed, they would immediately be able to respawn and continue.

Rebecca informed me that she will check with the hoodlums first since she would like to be taking a break and soak in the swimming pool. Furthermore, the majority of the adventurers had been approached by her and only a handful of them failed in their quest.
