Kyle looked around the room.
It was only about ten ters wide. Sure, there was no furniture in here, but a strike from him would still cause a huge storm in here.
"You sure?" he asked.
"Follow my orders and attack with your Complex Law," she answered evenly.
"Sure thing, Lady," Kyle said as he pulled out his hamr.
teor Ether gathered around his hamr, and he took a step forward.
His entire body bulged, and-
Bang.
Kyle's hamr was slapped to the side before he could launch his strike.
"I told you to attack with your Complex Law. You are using Fragnts of the Law of Body. I only want you to use the Complex Law," she said.
Kyle blinked a couple of tis.
He moved his hamr a bit.
"That's… not easy," Kyle said. "I'm used to striking like this. I'm not sure if I can make my body weaker."
"Then, you must learn," Lady Arrowstrife said. "As a Parasite, you must be able to hide your power convincingly."
Kyle scratched the back of his head. "This might take a while."
"Ti is of no concern. Follow the order," Lady Arrowstrife said with an even tone.
Kyle just shrugged. "Alright."
He launched another-
Bang.
His strike was blocked again.
And again.
And again.
This continued for several minutes until Lady Arrowstrife no longer blocked his attacks.
The hamr struck the side of Lady Arrowstrife's chest, creating a humongous storm of fire and wind in the room.
Yet, Kyle just felt like he had struck so kind of immovable mountain.
"Again," she said.
"Sure," Kyle answered.
Then, most of Kyle's attacks were interrupted again before she let another one through.
This act continued for several days until Kyle could unleash these strikes with accuracy.
"You are now permitted to use your Body Fragnts as well," she said.
Kyle sighed in relief.
It took a bit for him to get back into the groove of striking with his full power, but he quickly got there.
"No Body Fragnts," she said.
Once more, Kyle had to get used to striking without his Body Fragnts.
After that, the commands alternated.
For several days, Kyle just kept striking, while Lady Arrowstrife gave different commands.
"That's enough," she said, and Kyle pulled his hamr back.
"You must be able to strike with and without your Body Fragnts."
"Why?" Kyle asked.
"You will be portraying a persona with your attacks," she explained. "When your target is recruiting new mbers, you will not be striking with your full power imdiately."
"You will be playing the role of a talented but unaffiliated Seeker who has had a bad history with stronger organizations(Fart here, join the telegram st./ REtILYcMCVIxZDk1 ). In your past, your persona has had negative experiences when showing too much power."
"Your persona wants to enter the target organization, but your persona does not want to unveil their true power."
"During the most pivotal part of the recruitnt process, you will show just a tiny hint of your true power. It will be subtle enough that nobody will notice, except the strongest person overseeing the recruitnt."
"In order to achieve that, your act must be convincing," Lady Arrowstrife explained.
Kyle nodded. "Makes sense."
"Next," she continued, "I will launch different attacks, and I want you to defend from them without using your Body Fragnts."
Kyle nodded again as he readied his hamr.
Lady Arrowstrife pulled out a bow and aid it at Kyle.
Kyle felt quite nervous when he saw a person several Realms higher than him targeting him with a weapon.
Lady Arrowstrife pulled her bow back a tiny bit, and an arrow of light ford on it.
Then, she let go.
The arrow shot with so much speed that Kyle barely got ti to react.
He just barely managed to put his hamr between himself and the arrow.
"You used your Body Fragnts," Lady Arrowstrife comnted.
"I had to," Kyle answered. "Otherwise, I would've been too slow."
"I know," she said. "You were not supposed to be able to block that attack without them. In this case, the right choice would have been to attempt to block but get hit regardless."
Kyle took a deep breath. "Alright."
Then, she shot another arrow at Kyle.
This one was surprisingly slow, and Kyle managed to block it without using his Body Fragnts.
After that, she shot a powerful arrow, and Kyle just moved his hamr a bit, but let it go through.
The arrow hit Kyle's chest, pulled him with it, and nailed him to the wall.
A mont later, the arrow dispersed.
Kyle received a relatively minor injury, but it healed quickly.
"That was not convincing, and your body healed too quickly. You have to keep your Fragnt of Organs secret as well," she said.
"Trying my best here," Kyle answered as he readied himself again.
Making this act of defending himself halfheartedly look like a desperate attempt to save his life was far harder than expected.
It took almost two weeks until Lady Arrowstrife was fine with the display. "You are allowed to use your Fart(Body) Fragnts now," she said before firing a far faster arrow.
Kyle tried to defend, but he was just a tiny bit too slow.
"You are no longer used to using your full power," she said. "Two weeks ago, you would have been able to block this attack."
Luckily, after just a couple of attempts, Kyle regained his old form.
"No Body Fragnts from now on," she said.
Then, everything returned to an alternating process of defending with and without Body Fragnts.
Over the weeks, Kyle got rather good at fake-defending.
However, he also got rather good at genuinely defending.
As more ti passed, the number of tis he had to defend without his Body Fragnts reduced significantly.
Now, Kyle had to use his Body Fragnts over 95% of the ti to defend.
Naturally, Kyle knew what was going on, and he grew excited and even a bit thankful.
'I already know how to put on an act. The only reason why she's still attacking is to teach the Fragnt of Nerves!'
'It's crazy that soone of her power is willing to take ti out of her day to help with my Law Comprehension.'
