Fated For Lycan's Luna (Chloe and Blake)
Chapter 51
“Wooohoo! Luna, you are so amazing!”
“Indeed! Luna, your hard work in the past few days has really paid off!”
“Indeed! We are so happy to see you improve!!
Cheers and praises flew everywhere as I stood inside the training area.
Today was the very first time I successfully landed a clean blow on one of my beta sparring mates.
After days of ending with utter defeat and humiliating performance, I finally showed some progress and was able to connect a punch straight to the Beta’s chest.
Everyday I would accept Teacher Astor's teaching training me on how to stabilize my center of gravity and improve how I distribute my weight during the attack.
As they sounded so foreign to me, I had to think about it many nights and pathetically try to execute it during the sparring sessions, only to bear no fruit.
But this day was different as my body was finally showing signs of getting used to the fighting and pain.
However, as I was happy, Teacher Astor poured cold water on me, “You had only made a small progress and was still far from the final goal, yet you still have the energy to be happy?”
My originally high mood immediately went down. I was dragged back to reality and understood that landing a clean punch was not even scratching the surface of a passable combat skill.
Before Astor left, he turned and looked at me while he said, “Do not be too happy… There will be more rigorous training tomorrow.”
After he finished speaking, Teacher Astor walked out the door.
Coincidentally, Carrie entered, “Chloe… I heard the cheers from afar! I say, congratulations on your first sparring win! Keep it up and don’t give up!!!”
But just after Carrie finished speaking, Teacher Astor turned around and said, “You must join the training as well!”
Carrie was dumbfounded for a moment. She looked at me and the rest of Beta in disbelief. She even blinked twice and pointed her fingers to herself and asked, “Me?”
“Yes, it's you, Carrie!” The beta’s around confirmed with a gloating expression on their faces.
But before they could even tease Carrie for her misfortune, Astor looked back once again and announced, “In Fact everyone of you would be joining! See you tomorrow!”
The next moment, the entire training hall turned silent with only the sound of the door slamming to close.
