Along with learning how to control his Soul Energy, Alex continued to tutor the other students as well, given he was provided with the gold coins.

The reward he received from the King would be completely utilised in buying the refinement tools. And the gold coins he has been earning recently would help him pay the fees of raids he would be participating in soon.

"Too loose. Your grip on your blade determines your strike and backlash." Alex sternly spoke as he corrected the posture and grip of the green-haired in the group.

The girl wielded twin sabres and had a very flexible build suited for the weapon. Her strikes are not brutal and something that can cleave the enemy from the middle; rather, she delivers small and deadly cuts to her enemies and lets them die from the poison coating her blades.

"I need to keep my grip loose; otherwise, it won\'t scrape my opponent in the same fluency as I desire." She spoke with a frown. She doesn\'t have any questions about the ways Alex teaches others; the girl believes in his knowledge. However, she cannot fathom the sudden changes which Alex suggested.

Alex heaved a sigh before standing in front of her and raising both of his hands.

"Okay, with your technique and precision, graze me anywhere you want. Make it quick so I can\'t block."

The girl, Mary, nervously asked, "Are you sure? They aren\'t poisoned but it sure will hurt."

Alex nodded, "I am sure, so just go for it."

Naturally, the other students paused in their tracks to see the interaction. The one thing they all admire and feel terrified about is his leniency in letting himself get attacked from the front.

Mary gulped but didn\'t falter. She aimed for his left hand, but her eyes were fixed on his right, as a feint. She has observed Alex in these few days enough to tell that a straight attack would never land.

She moved her right hand first, but in a flash, she retracted it, followed by a quick approach with her left hand, aiming for his exposed arm.

Her movements were quick, almost like a wasp\'s as she slanted her hold aiming to leave a quick slit behind—only to find her eyes widening as her hand was blocked even before she could have reached her target and because of her loss of grip, her wrist was bent inward, almost at the verge of breaking.

"Ahhh!!" She yelped in pain as Alex pressed a little forward and her bones creaked.

Alex asked, "Now you understand, Mary? You aren\'t invisible while moving and there are numerous out there who can watch your movements clearer than me. What if they block you before you reach them? Breaking your bones would be easier than snapping a twig."

His comments were harsh but to the point. He released her hand, and with tears welling up her eyes, Mary rubbed her wrist.

"Cruel."

Alex shrugged, "You asked for tips. Now that you have some, I am suddenly cruel, eh?"

In these things, Amanda was better than these teenagers since she never complained about getting corrected or receiving pain. She listens to every flaw he states and also learns from her mistakes.

"But Alex, you didn\'t tell her how she should improve her movements," Devon asked as he gave Mary some pain relieving gel to apply.

Alex looked at the girl whose left cheek was bulging in a pout as she applied the gel but her attention never wavered from Alex.

Alex suggested, "She has to change her grip with time. Until her blade doesn\'t connect with the target, her grip should be firm, and when it does, she surely can switch her grip to hold it like a butter knife."

Taking a pause and after ensuring that the girl was looking at him, he added, "You need to be attentive about your movements, otherwise your opponent can easily damage you beyond recovery, Mary. After all, you are the weakest among the five of us."

The tension in the air was left hanging as Alex returned to his own training.

Amanda, who was nearby, couldn\'t help but say, "Weren\'t you too hard on her?"

Alex heaved a sigh, "Temporary depression is better than permanent death, y\'know."

Amanda slowly nodded and returned to her training.

Thanks to the training he did past eleven days, Alex was now able to manipulate his Soul Energy far better, and using the SE alone, he could use his sword arts multiple times without harming himself....well, except for the Tempest Dart.

Today was the last day of intensive training so Devon decided to finish the class early today.

Before dismissing the class, he called everyone to tell them about the assessment that would take place tomorrow.

"As you all must have been aware, the assessment would happen right away since the intensive training finishes today. You see, the people who came to teach you here, including me, have to return to our usual jobs as soon as we can, so there is no break allowed for the students."

They all were aware of it so no one showed any reaction.

Continuing, he said, "There will be only a single test that will decide under whom you all will get further trained. And that test would be, a one-on-one battle."

Nothing new, so no one looked surprised.

However, "This time, the opponents wouldn\'t be decided through the traditional method of drawing lots. Rather, the teaching board will decide the matches based on each student\'s strengths and weaknesses."

Alex held his breath. So they indeed brought a change. Strange it was, since, canonically this assessment was done through lots.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Devon\'s voice turned a little serious as he said, "Remember, the teachers will be putting someone against you, who is proficient in what you are weak at. So remember the lesson you have learned during this period and give it your all."

Hearing those words, Amanda couldn\'t help but look to her left, and surprisingly Alex was also looking back at her.

One, a genius witch. And another, a sword master.

\'For some reason....\' Amanda began,

\'....I already know my opponent....\' Alex finished.

Tomorrow, various things are bound to change.
