'The bug is destroyed sire' The hooded figure slammed his fist to the throne. 'What are your orders sire?' 'Nothing, I'll take care of them when they come...'

Same was holding two rattan sticks, it seems like Naix has signed Same to Eskrima training. Eskrima is a Philipino martial art. Eskrima fighthing styles were usually using sticks and knifes, perfect for Same as he chose a knife. Eskrima is the art of trapping and breaking limbs, their main focus is to imagine that the weapons in your hands are just the extention to your limbs. Its seems like the martial art did not extict after the war. Same was learning the basic maneuvers and stances of the martial art. The master till hit the part of his limbs which is not in line. Same was enduring the hellish training of Eskrima. He is not allowed to attack because it was not sparring. Its was a cram course, so the traning is much harder than normal. Leong on the other hand was signed into a Silambam cram course. Slilambam on the other hand is a Dravidian Martial Art, originated from South India. Silambam refers to the bamboo staff that is used as a main weapon in the martial art. The teacher now is teaching Leong the basic footwork that is needed to master before learning spinning techniques and patterns.

Same was now learning how to attack and defend at the same time. Leong now has got the hang of the footwork, his master is not demostrating what he's gonna learn next. Leong's jaw dropped when he sees his master spinning the stick and using the footwork Amazingly, the stick didn't hit him. The master taught him the basics of spining the staff. Leong got the hang of it but when they combined it with the footwork. The staff hit Leong everywhere. Naix was looking at them from a room. She was laughing while doing curls.

Lexis is taking a nap. Yaru is still unconcious. In Yaru's room, Annix was giving how to please a man 101. 'And you gotta suck it while stroking it okay?' Regna nodded innocently with a blank expression in her eyes. 'Now that you have learned the basic teories, now its time to put that knowledge into good use' Annix Put out her index finger infront of Regna 'Suck it'. Regna opened her mouth and sucked Annix index finger and started moving her head back and forth. 'You're doing very well for your first time.' Regna stopped sucking. 'No no no! Stop when i tell you to' Regna suck Annix's finger again. 'Watch for the teeth, men don't like that, and move you tongue more! Use your hand while you're at it' Regna was trying hard to please Annix's finger. 'Don't forget to make the kissing sounds.' Regna did the kissing sound. 'Okay, if you can remember what i said just now, you're ready. Just to be sure...' Annix wipped her index finger and took out her other index finger. 'Now suck this one, i won't help you this time. and now i will rate you'

Same is now sparring with his master. Both of them were on the defensive, Same went for a strike but is blocked by his master, then his master locked Same's arm with the rattan sticks and jab kicked at Same. Same steped a few steps back holding stomach, his master dash toward him and aiming his stick at Same's head. Then Same quicky blocked it and used his other stick to hit his master but his master crouched and sidestepped to his side and swinging a stick to Same neck, Same blocked it with his free hand and swiched his holding style of his other stich and thrust it to the master's belly in a elbow attack motion. It hit the master. His master stopped attacking him 'It seems like i have underestimated you, your cram course is complete. Rememeber be fexible, feel free to add in something, martial artx is alive, always remember that' Same bowed to his master, he held for 5 seconds before he stopped bowing and left the room.

Leong was defending himself from his master. As if in a trance, His master is hitting him violently and shouting like a insane man. Leong's mind stayed calm, trying to look for an opening for him to strike. Suddenly, Leong's right waist was hit and got swinged to his right. He quickly recovered, his master was jumping up and swinging his bamboo stick at high velocity, and it was apporaching Leong's head. In a quick manuever, Leong sidestpped away from the strike and put his staff out to intercept the masters strike. The second both staffs touch, the powerful force that was in the master's staff transferred into Leong's staff. Leong directed the force to the master's head by swinging the end of the staff that is behind him to his master's back. The end of Leong's staff was swinging towards the master's back and boom! His master was on the ground. 'Thats how hard i hit? good thing you dodged or you could be in a coma. Good work on redirecting the force of my blow.' His master stood up and patted his shoulders 'Well, this is the end of your cram course' 'Thanks for you teachings master' 'okay,and remember. Be flexible, martial arts is alive, a true martial artist cannot write his skill in book, it can only be expressed through your body.' Leong nodded and went out of the room.

'Seems like you guys are badly beaten up eh?' Naix put down her weights. Leong and Same were resting on a bench. 'C'mon lets go back. we have a meal waiting for us'
