Chapter 6
Raven brought Jing in a wild forest to teach the woman on how to fight and to train her the proper to use of black magic.
They are in the middle of the forest where high trees abound and also surrounded with grasses. Jing doesn't know where are they. According to Raven, it is safe in this wild forest to train her magic, than to the city that is crowded with human beings. They are free to roam there and to use their black magic in that forest without anyone disturbing them..
Raven moved his hand and there was black smoke coming with it. He made a weapon through his black magic. Jing will use this weapon later on.
There are two sacks that are hanging in two trees. These will serve as punching bags to be used in their training. Jing needs to be strong and these sacks will make her master the art of kinking and punching. The target portion in different part of the forest are for the magic of Jing.
He knew that this will be a long day for the practice, but he need to do this all alone, for their kingdom that in danger. This is not the right time to tell the whole truth to Jing. He needs to lie until Jing is ready to fight for their kingdom. Jing must be ready for the journey that is written in the prophecy because their enemies are strongly built.
“Are you ready for the practice, my princess?” he asked Jing when he positioned himself in front of the two sacks that are filled with soil.
Jing made face when Raven started to punch the sacks. He is sure that Jing will get hurt through this. With that, maybe he will kill the princess, he forgot that Jing haven't punched yet a sack filled with soil.
He turned to face Jing and put his hand up in front. Her forehead twitched as she did. He wanted to laugh because her princess didn't know what they were doing.
"What to do? I don't know how to punch,” she admitted.
He wants to laugh, but he keeps it and maybe Jing can use her power to make him shut, he doesn't want to become ash in instant. Another is that he should not belittled Jing, because the woman is new to this and she does not grow in their palace.
He must take this mission seriously. He should not disappoint his dependents. They need Jing to restore the kingdom to its former glory.
He can promise only one. . . it was to train the dear princess— Jing.
He sat behind Jing and grabbed her by the two arms and held her in front.
“Just follow the motion of my hand, Jing. And learn how to position and move. ”
Jing nodded and he began to teach her. He first shoots his fist in the air before the sack.
“Aigoo!” she screamed as she slammed her fist into the sack. He lifted her arm and looked at her hand. That's just blush. He immediately ignored Jing hand. He turned to Jing to scold and instruct.
“You have to ignore the pain and the passages you get in practice if you want to learn. You will also be trained and all those pains will be ignored once you get used to it. It just hurt because you're new to this,” he said then punch the sack.
The sack filled with soil so that Jing got hurt earlier.
“Do I really have to do this? Can't I just use my power?”she complained.
He shook his head in response. He didn't like it.
“Not all the time your power can protect you, Jing. Sometimes you have to work hard to reach the c****x of success. You will remember that, my princess. So practice!” he said at the same time he slammed the stick he was holding in the sack.
Apparently, Jing was brought to his sermon as she began to punch the sack. She clutched it tightly and squeezed each time. When Jong hitting the sack, the sack every time hits the target. The sack hit Jing's forehead and face sometimes causing the young lady to stumble several times.
“Avoid the sack, dear princess. Think of that sack as your opponent. Avoid its every moves and then attack. If you keep acceptinh that, you will be killed. Stay away as long as you as you can,” he commanded.
Jing seems listening to him because she avoids every movement of the sack. When he saw that Jing taking the technique, he smiled. He never mistook that Jing will learn it easily.
“All right, go ahead and do what you do. . . after that I can fight you. "
She stopped punching the sack and looking at him. That is the reason to hit her forehead of the sack and lie down on the ground. Raven shook his head of what had happen.
“Another dear princess, do not look back or turn your attention to others while you are in battle and you are not yet sure that your enemy is dead. There you will be damned if that is what you been practicing. Use your hearing; use your eyesight and your movements. . . that is important for the warrior,” he said.
"Get up," he ordered at the same time as his help.
“What else should I learn?” she asked. She seems to be giving up.
He tapped her on the forehead.
“There are more and more than half of you, dear princess. Do not give up immediately, do not suffer immediately. That's not enough for you to fight. That's where you need more. Not only should you duplicate it, make it triple or more if its needed. ”
She sits on the ground. "I don't want to."
It seems that she is begging to surrender.
“No raven girl surrenders immediately! Let's go! ” he speaks seriously.
Jing had done nothing but to stand and continued punching the sack filled with soil. She has to be strong enough! She is the raven girl! It's time or never!
