"No! No! No!" Warwick yells, starting to run, as Ranald teleports in front, Bashing him back, then Slashing the blades down into him before he can even try to get up.
Ranald steps back, standing in front of the way out of the school courtyard.
"Master!" Demoko yells, running over.
"Stay back," Ranald states, walking over.
Demoko continues with a low growl.
"I'd suggest you'd stand back," Lassar states between bites, "He looks ready to use Windmill."
Demoko rushes at Ranald, who responds by quickly spinning, the swords cutting into him and launching him back.
"Demoko, stay back! That's an order!" Warwick commands, now standing, yet in pain.
Demoko steps safely out of range, as he starts to come too, unable to move forward.
"Good, it's just one on one practice for now," Ranald states, before unleashing an onslaught of blows, teleporting in between.
Warwick stands there gasping and shaking in pain, unable to even process the excruciating pain building with each blow.
As he falls to his knees, Ranald spins himself, rapidly cutting the blades into Warwick and knocking him back, at which Ranald teleports behind him and continues the assault.
"Please stop!" Demoko cries out, as the assault continues.
"Don't worry. He's a milletian, he can take it. Besides, he never cried out when it happened to you," Lassar explains while cashing healing on him.
"But-" Demoko tries to refute, as Warwick goes flying between them, hitting a bench.
"Besides, we both decided to teach you two for free after this," Lassar explains.
"I know what I did was wrong, I'm- Did she say free?" Warwick starts to cry out before processing what Lassar said.
Ranald Smashes his face in over the bench with the ghost swords, "Yes, but I'm hoping you're getting the idea from this lesson."
"Understanding what I did to Demoko is wrong, and never doing something like that again?" Warwick asks in confirmation.
Ranald Smashes Warwick into the center of the courtyard.
"That's part of it. Demoko is used to taking damage and can continue moving forward despite being hurt. Most milletians have no reaction. If you plan to succeed like them, you'll need regular endurance training,"
"REGULAR!!! You gotta-" Warwick starts to freak out, as Ranald teleports next to him and continues the assault.
"Please stop! How long are you going to continue this!?" Demoko asks, worrying about Warwick.
"Until I run out of Final Hit. It should still be another 20 minutes," Ranald calmly states, continuing the assault.
"Why don't you come inside, and we can get a head start on your first lesson on magic?" Lassar asks, trying to lead Demoko inside.
"But I want to help him," Demoko states, still trying to get himself to move forward.
"It's for his own good, and for yours. The best thing we can do is get a head start on your training so you can better help him. Wouldn't that be an ideal way to spend this time?" Lassar convincingly suggests.
Demoko gulps and nods, as the two head inside.
The assault continues until Ranald stops glowing, landing the final hit through Warwick's heart with the ghost sword.
Warwick falls to the ground, his eyes wide in shock.
"That was a workout!" Ranald exhaustingly states as he sits down on a bench.
It takes about ten minutes for Warwick to come to and start to get up.
"Recovered in half the time of a non-stop assault. You're going to need to get that down to zero if you want to survive. Again!"
"AGAIN!!! Wait! No, no, no!"
Warwick starts panicking, as Ranald begins laughing.
"You should see your face. Don't worry, we're done for now. Come collect your payment for the potion," Ranald states, holding out a bag of coins.
Warwick cautiously gets up, and starts walking over.
He's hunched up, like the memories of the pain keep repeating in the head.
"Yeah, you haven't recovered yet. Have you?" Ranald asks.
As Ranald gets up to bring the money over, Warwick jumps back in terror, tripping and falling on his back.
"Please tell me you're joking! I guess I went a little hard. Don't worry, I'm not going to attack you," Ranald states walking over.
Warwick cowers as Ranald picks him up.
"Ah! Put me down! Put Me Down!" Warwick starts yelling.
"Calm down, I'm just taking you to the Healer's House."
They safely make it there, as Ranald walks in.
Dilys runs over, "What happened!?"
"I think I broke him," Ranald says anxiously.
"Lay him down there. I'll make up a potion for him real quick,"
Dilys starts making an Elixir of Sleep.
Dilys helps Warwick drink it.
"Now... What did you do!" Dilys yells at Ranald.
"Milletians take those kinds of hits, die, then walk back into the fight without batting an eye! How..." Ranald starts trying to explain as Warwick slips into sleep.
