Nightmare Mythos

Chapter 151: Footwork

Two days for Cesar passed by in the blink of an eye. More like the last two days either are a repetition of the classes he already had beforehand or classes that, this time, Cesar didn't get interested in.

Of course, for formality and out of respect for Arnold and interest in teaching him, aside from one particular blacksmith who didn't give a damn about him, Cesar attended him. Additionally, it's not he had the authority to ignore all of them.

He had to attend them because he was still being graded. Moreover, he was learning so what's there to complain about.

"Ugh, I have to attend this class. Right, the instructor... is someone I've met beforehand. Still, this is the first time we'll be meeting officially. I hope to learn great things from this guy,"

Mumbling to himself while riding a cab that would lead him to his designated class, it didn't take long before Cesar was able to see the cab stopped at the parking area.

"Thank you,"

Cesar gave his gratitude to the driver before walking straight towards a large old mansion from the front. Giving off a dangerous aura with sign boards that this was out of reach for anyone trying to trespass it, Cesar made his way through while avoiding the signs that surrounded the mansion.

Once he pushed through the old door, a loud creak reverberated all throughout the mansion as Cesar entered. Looking around the interior of the mansion which is no different from its condition on the outside, Cesar shouted and called out.

"Hey, instructor Spencer! Your student is ready to be taught by your teachings,"

Suddenly, an old man with ocean-like eyes revealed himself from one of the furniture of the mansion before shaking his head with a sigh.

"You don't need to be sarcastic. Look, I know what I did is very uncharacteristic and not right. You just went back to a very harsh situation and... I pulled a prank on you but I came in good intentions!"

Whoosh—!

Spencer suddenly picked up the pace as he moved around the area. Executing the three categories of how a footwork must be done with perfect, it looked like he was disappearing from one place to another. However, there was traces of sound left as he moved.

"This is Speed Footwork. This is viable to use if you are trying to chase down a person or escape a group of people. Yes, it has traces but if you are even a bit faster than to the people you are chasing or escaping from, it wouldn't even matter. You can switch to another footwork then all problems will disappear. As for another footwork, you'll have to learn from me..."

Spencer paused as a smirk plastered on his face before rushing towards Cesar, who felt the force of the footwork that he actioned just now.

Whoosh—!

Spencer immediately came to Cesar's front and raised one of its legs upward before slamming it down to him.

In response to that quick and destructive attack, Cesar defended himself with the use of his arms.

Thud—!

'It stings!'

Surprised that Cesar was able to defend that, Spencer chuckled and introduced, "This is Explosive Footwork. It works with a mixture of Speed Footwork and Destructive Footwork. Now, are you interested in this lesson now?"

Slightly annoyed that Spencer didn't warn him about the attack, Cesar shouted and retorted with spite, "You sly old man! Warn me beforehand!"
