Satoru smiled and anticipated Clark's movements and he raised his 2 fingers again.
Boom! A lot of smoke was seen and then they became visible.
Clark thought his attack worked, to his surprise, Satoru was unscathed.
Clark was shocked not because Satoru was unscathed, but because his attack was blocked by an invisible force. He thought,
'Why did my sword stop in front of Teacher? I clearly thought that I had hitted him! Wait before being slashed, Teacher raised his fingers, earlier i saw he did the same thing when he faced the Solar lion! It must be teacher's ability'
"Not bad for your first ability. Its destructive power can easily kill level 20 and below if they are being careless. But it is not enough HEHE" Satoru and uses his glare to push Clark.
Clark was pushed back and retreated 10 steps.
He activated his First ability again,
'First Spirit Ability: FireVoid Slash!' Then Clark uses Sonido, then Clark moves fast and moves to Satoru's back.
Satoru saw his student's plan and continued to use his ability.
Boom! There's a lot of smoke and Clark thought that he succeeded and then he heard,
"Don't waste your Soul Energy too much, Clearly the result is still the same! Your attacks couldn't reach me!" Satoru spoke as the smoke dissipated, then he used a 1% of his power and punched Clark's Sword.
Clark saw Satoru's punch incoming towards him and tried to block it with his sword.
'This is bad!' Clark thought.
The punch hit the Sword and Clark flew backwards and hit a couple of trees and slammed on the rock. Bang!
"Oops HAHAHA I've used too much strength, well consider it fighting experience for him" Satoru said and walked towards Clark.
Clark fell to the ground and kneeled on leg and puff and blood started to flow on his forehead as he started to lose consciousness.
"Blegh!" Clark spouted a mouthful of blood.
'Damn! Master didn't hold back haha!' Clark thought and raised his head to look at Satoru who was walking towards him and he smiled as he lost his consciousness and fell on the ground.
Satoru arrives and examined Clark and sighs,
"Phew, Luckily he only suffered minor injuries" he said.
Satoru grabs Clark, who is unconscious and left to go back in the Outer Area to Rest.
*30 minutes later.
Outer Area.
Nightfall.
Satoru found a cave and put down Clark on the wall of the cave and he started to make a campfire.
"We'll stay here for tonight," Satoru said as he made a campfire and rested after he's done.
__________________________________________________________
The next day.
Afternoon.
Outer Area, Cave.
Clark started to gain consciousness and started to look around because he didn't know what happened after he passed out.
He started to look around and found he was wearing a new set of clothes and he had bandages on his forehead.
Clark touched his forehead and felt a pain.
"Ouch! I'm gonna not accept the Master's Duel next time before I have the strength to protect and fight back-" as Clark mumbled to himself he heard his master who had just arrived.
"You're already awake little Clark!" Satoru said.
Clark looks at his master and smug.
"Master! You clearly didn't hold back!" Clark angrily said to his master.
"Sorry sorry hehehehe! next time i'll hold back" Satoru said while scratching his head.
"What! There's a next time!?" Clark said.
"Of Course! When we go back, i will conduct a training exercise for you for the next 6 year before you graduate in Elementary school" Satoru casually said
"Training exercise?" Clark replied.
"Yes, for the next 6 years, I will teach you proper combat to strengthen yourself, of course you will be fighting me and I will not hold back! You can consider this as a fighting experience for you, after that I teach you theoretical knowledge on Spirit Beast, Martial Spirits, Combat Formations and many more….." Satoru said to Clark and prepared breakfast for them to eat.
Satoru caught 10 fishes earlier when he strolled around and found the fishes on the lake near the cave where they are staying temporarily.
He started to make a campfire and put the fishes on a stick to cook them.
When Clark saw this he was impress by his master and thought,
'Not only Master is super strong, he can also cook' Clark said and started to stand and he struggled to get up, but he just sat and closed his eyes and started to meditate to replenish his Soul Energy.
After 10 minutes.
"Hey, wake up! The food is ready!" Satoru said to Clark who was meditating.
Chapter Ends.
