Boy, training was hard. We started out in this training room with punching bags hanging around the place and straw dummies.

We started out with combat practice. A was given a wooden sword with the enchantment sharpness -3 on it so it wouldn't do any damage. Me and Ben practiced sprinting, sprinting attacks, sprint-jump attacks, jump attacks, and some basic blocking.

After about maybe thirty minutes we started some duels. Ben taught me how to duck, stab, slice, and make some pars.

Ben told me I was doing well. Then he said, "Gregor, I need you to do some practicing on your own. I need to go do something very important. Feel free to the dummies." He gestured toward the straw dummies.

"K."

He left.

I decided that while I was here, I might as well do some practicing. I took the sword and walked over to the dummies. I swung.

Oh, that hurt. The impact vibrated up the blade, into my hand and up my arm. I didn't leave a dent in it.

I wasn't about to let a dumb dummy get me down. I tried again. This time, I tried it at a different angle.

SMACK

It didn't hurt as much, and I think I saw a little mark, right on it's face.
