Chapter-9
[After completing his lunch, Blake searched for Grafarious, but he could not find him, so Blake went to Storm.]
Blake: "Mr Storm, can you tell me where Mr Grafarious is?"
Storm: "The way is complicated to explain. Wait, I will send someone with you."
[Storm searches for someone who has completed their lunch.]
Storm: "Hey Ernil, can you take this guy to Mr Grafarious's training room?"
Ernil: "Yes, sir."
[Ernil and Blake start at Mr Grafarious's training arena.]
Ernil: "What is your name?"
Blake: "I am Blake, and you are?"
Ernil: "I am Ernil, new here?"
Blake: "Yes."
Ernil: "What do you think of this place?"
Blake: "It's good, I like it."
Ernil: "Where are you from?"
Blake: "I am from Grain City, and where are you from?"
Ernil: "Basalt city."
[After some time.]
Ernil: "We are here, and it was nice talking to you. If you need any help, ask me."
Blake: "Sure, thanks."
Ernil: "Fine."
[Blake enters the arena and sees Grafarious sitting there.]
Grafarious: "Hey, Blake, why are you late?"
Blake: "Mr Grafarious, I did not know the way to the arena, so I asked Mr Storm, and he sent a senior with me."
Grafarious: "Ok, anyway, let's start the practice. First, let me see how much you know."
[Grafarious gives Blake a bow and a few arrows.]
Grafarious: "Hit the target."
[Grafarious points at a target, and Blake hits a bullseye. Then Grafarious points at a target that is much further away, and Blake still manages to hit the bullseye., Grafarious continued this, and Grafarious observed that as the targets are further Blake is missing the bullseye.]
Grafarious: "Ok, nice, but we should work on hitting targets that are far away. Now let's try to do this with an app.. I will throw it up, and you should hit it."
[They start practising it, and after some time.]
Grafarious: "Good, you are actually better at hitting moving targets than still ones, now I will blind fold you and let's try the same."
[Grafarious blind folds Blake and starts throwing apples. Blake manages to hit very few targets.]
Grafarious: "Ok, you were able to hit a few apples, but it is not enough at,l l, so we need to work on it. What's your elemental power?"
Blake: "Wind."
Grafarious: "Good, that's the best elemental to have while you are learning archery, so tell me, what do you think you need to get better at?"
Blake: "At hitting far and still targets."
Grafarious: "Ok, let's get started."
[After 2 hours.]
Grafarious: "Good progress, enough for today, but not good enough."
Blake: "Sir, is every day gonna be like this?"
Grafarious: "No, today is the first day, so it is like this, but normally we have 4 days for primary, Monday to Thursday and 2 days for secondary, Friday and Saturday, and you have these only before lunch and after lunch, you will have survival classes."
Blake: "Fine, thanks, sir."
[Blake goes back to the dormitory after a tiring day.]
Blake: Today was good but tiring.
[Jane enters.]
Blake: "Hey Jane, how was your training?"
Jane: "Good, but learning blood arts instead of a secondary weapon is a mistake, I think."
Blake: "You can combine your water element with the swords and then use it alongside blood arts."
Jane: "The imagination itself looks cool."
