Erick continued to instruct them until they got the basics down and had a beginner’s proficiency in it, even then it took them the whole month.

Ancient Warmonger Bahamut’s Exercise is like a cultivation technique which in the beginning will only help in increasing their strength.

.....

There are four stages: Beginner, Expert, Master, and Completion.

When they reach the Expert stage of the AWB’s Exercise, They will be able to use complimentary fighting techniques.

But for now, Erick also helped them master their previous fighting techniques and helped them improve their overall capability in the battle.

As for the other 50 or so members, he taught them a common grade technique which can also be used as an array tactic defensively so they can save themselves in emergencies from the strong opponents that they might have to face in the future.

After a month of practice,

“Haaa!” A pair of men were sparring.

“Swish..!” Suddenly one of them threw his fist and aimed at the gut of his opponent who stepped aside and dodged the attack.

“Hey, you won’t be able to hit me if you are only capable of this!” The opponent mocked after dodging successfully.

“Thump…!!”

Both of them again made their move, one moved to attack with a backflip kick and the other one caught his kick in mid-air while immediately using that momentum against him and made him fall to the ground while sitting on his back while keeping him in the deadlock position.

“Tap…tap!!”

The opponent who got caught in a deadlock tapped hurriedly feeling suffocation from the move.

“Hey, It was a good match. Do you want to do it again tomorrow!” After seeing his opponent surrender he moved away and stood up while helping his opponent to stand up.

They shook each other’s hands and smiled while setting a date for another match.

“Look, others are still at it. Let’s go and watch their moves and see if we can improve ourselves!” Seeing that others’ sparring hadn’t stopped, they took a water bottle to drink and sat down at the side to watch the matches.

Erick allowed the sparring sessions after months of grinding their excessive energy to improve their control over their strength.

It helps them understand their weakness and get used to fighting others at the same level or stronger opponents.

On one side, like everyone else.

Leader Shun and Rodrick were sparring together.

“Swiish…thump…thwack!”

“Hey, Rodrick! Take it easy on this old man, as I can’t keep up with you young people’s stamina!” Leader Shun said while guarding against the tricky and quick punches from Rodrick.

Rodrick has a clear advantage over Leader Shun, he is more agile than Leader Shun so he can react easily to attacks from him.

Rodrick can also spot the weakness in Leader Shun’s form so he can deliver fast and accurate attacks on those spots to put Leader Shun on the defensive.

“Thump…thwack!”

Leader Shun can only strike once but he had to receive three attacks from Rodrick in the meantime. He knows that if not for the many life and death experiences that he had, he would have lost against Rodrick in just a few moves.

At the end of the sparring, Rodrick took the advantage of his speed and made Leader Shun stumbled by swiping him off the floor and finishing him with a punch to the stomach but he stopped his last attack which was aimed at Leader Shun’s throat.

“Hahaha! I lost, it’s your win, Rodrick!” Leader Shun laughed and acknowledged his defeat. Not only he wasn’t least bit disappointed but he was showing a proud smile on his face looking at the youngster in front of him.

“Are you all right, Leader Shun? I am sorry, I think that I overdid it a little!” Rodrick helped him stand up and apologised for his mistakes as he thought that his punch to the stomach might have hurt Leader Shun.

“No, it’s alright and in sparring, this much is not worth mentioning. By the way, weren’t you on the mission yesterday, how did it go!” Leader Shun shook his head and showed Rorick that he was fine. He also changed the topic seeing that Rodrick won’t stop his useless worries.

“Uhh! Yes, I was but Erick-san only gave me a reconnaissance mission!” Rodrick replied remembering yesterday’s mission which wasn’t anything exciting for him.

“What were you doing exactly!” Leader Shun asked, feeling a little interested.

“I don’t know, even I am confused why I was given the mission to check the city’s most bustling area!” Rodrick said with a puzzled expression.

“Don’t mind it, anyways where are those three of them!” Leader Shun decided that it was also not a good topic and looked around not seeing the three ladies in the hall he asked Rodrick.

“Ohh! They are accompanying Ms. Shen today as she had invited them for an appreciation dinner!” Rodrick said with a hint of envy in his tone, remembering the taste of Ms. Shen’s cooking that he had last time.

“If it’s an appreciation dinner then shouldn’t we also be invited!” Leader Shun asked about feeling left out.

“Ahh! Ms. Shen said that it was only for ladies today!” Rodrick said with an awkward smile as he had asked the same thing from Ms. Shen when he met her in the morning but he got teased by her instead.

“Not today, that means we get to eat her cooking next time!” Leader Shun looked eager to try her cooking.

Rodrick nodded his head, also thinking that at least he wasn’t the only one who was thinking about her cooking.

“Anyways Leader Shun, do you want to spar again!” Rodrick asked, feeling that he wasn’t tired yet so he wanted to have one more spar before he went home to have a proper rest.

“No way, I am not young anymore and you can find someone else!” Leader Shun shouted and ran off from the facility.

“Why are you running, it’s not like I am asking for your precious wine collection!” Rodrick muttered seeing the speed at which Leader Shun ran out.

Then he turned towards others and started to look around for a partner to spar with.

While on the Erick side,

He was walking towards the bustling area of Miami City with a cold look in his eyes.

Today, someone is about to suffer in Erick’s hands with how icy his look shows.
