Chapter 93 Spar
Days passed by as Ashoka grew.
His daily training got harsher as time passed and his powers increased by leaps and bounds.
At the age of ten, Ashoka managed to become a three-star knight!
Of course, he made sure to only display the strength that he intended to show to others.
[I am sick of this boring place...]
Draco was tired of living in the tempest manor by now.
In the first place, he was Dragon.
Born into the mighty race of Dragons, he had never experienced the feeling of being confined to one place.
Dragons were the species that acted on their instincts, being confined in one place was not suitable for them.
'Stop whining and let me concentrate.'
Ashoka was training, as usual, today when Alberad came to him and offered to spar.
Ashoka being the training manic he is didn't let go of the offer and readily agreed to it.
"Ready your sword, Ashoka. Let us begin."
Alberad said taking out a sword himself.
Ashoka nervously gripped the hilt of the sword.
"I am ready, Sir."
Even though Ashoka was excited to spar with Alberad, he couldn't help but shudder at his Aura.
His consciousness was screening that the one in front of him was an opponent whom he couldn't even dream to defeat at his current level.
But despite that, he was holding his ground because he knew that it was a valuable experience.
[Make sure to pluck out the ear of that bastard]
'you think I will be able to?'
The one in front of him was an 8th star knight, nicknamed as the sword of the emperor, Alberad himself.
It would be good enough if he manages to land a strike on him not to mention plucking his ears.
What Ashoka was aiming was to gain a valuable experience from this fight.
"Remember to maintain a strong stance and keep your eye on your opponent at all times. And don't forget to breathe."
Ashoka took a deep breath and assumed a defensive stance at Alberad's instructions.
Alberad smiled in content and lunged forward with a quick thrust.
It was a fast and fierce attack.
But Ashoka managed to parry the attack and counterattacked with a swift swipe
Alberad blocks the strike and stepped back, "Good form, Ashoka. But your movements lack conviction. You must commit to your attacks and follow through with force."
Ashoka nodded and got ready for the next exchange.
Alberad launched a flurry of attacks, testing Ashoka's defenses
Ashoka gritted his teeth and defended against the attacks while using his sword as a shield.
Each attack was fierce and receiving the attacks felt as if he was slammed by an elephant.
Despite that Ashoka managed to fend off the attacks with quick and agile movements, dodging the attacks he could and defending against those he couldn't.
"Impressive, to think you can defend against my attacks! But don't get too cocky. You still have much to learn."
Ashoka grinned in response to Alberad.
"Yes, instructor."
Alberad paused for a second and observed Ashoka's stance
"Your footwork is sloppy. You need to focus on your footing and maintain a strong foundation."
As expected of a grand knight, one look was enough to find loopholes in Ashoka.
Ashoka tried to adjust his stance but the lack of a good footwork technique was clearly showing in his form.
Alberad didn't wait around for Ashoka and suddenly charged forward with a powerful strike
Ashoka sidestepped and barely managed to dodge the attack and countered it with a swift strike to the instructor's side
Alberad staggered back and grinned.
"Well done. You're getting the hang of it."
Ashoka smiled and raised his sword again.
"I couldn't have done it without your guidance."
Alberad nodded, "Remember,

Ashoka bowed respectfully "Yes, instructor. I will
"But you have to continue the spar right now"
Alberad said as he launched a barrage of attacks again.
Their spar didn't end for another four hours and that day, Ashoka was seen crawling back to his dorm in a bloody state.

Power System:-(filler)
In this world, there were two kinds of systems to represent an individual's power.
They are Circles and Stars.
Circles are used by the mages who form circles around their mana heart. As a mage's mana density and knowledge of the magic increases, new circles will form around the mana heart, continuously circling over it.
The number of circles represents the strength of the mage.
For example, Sage Vyasa, the master of the 7th magic tower was an eight-circle grand magician where as Sage Chanakya, the sage of wisdom is a 9th-circle Archmage.
According to the number of circles one possessed, a unique title was given to them.
One circle -> Apprentice Mage
Two Circle -> Beginner Mage
Three Circle -> Intermediate Mage
Four Circle -> Mage Marshal
Five Circle -> Mage General
Six Circle -> Advanced Magician
Seven Circle -> High Magician
Eight Circle -> Grand Magician
Nine Circle -> Archmage
Similarly, for Knights, the power of an individual is represented by the number of stars one has.
Instead of circles, Knights form stars around their heart, which continuously revolve around the mana heart.
The reason for the change is that it is easier for the knights to draw out mana and imbue it into their body and physical objects when it is in the form of stars rather than in form of circles which helps the mage to imbue the mana into their magic circle.
Similar to Mages, Knights also have their own power system.
One circle -> trainee Knight
Two Circle -> Beginner trainee Knight
Three Circle -> Beginner Knight
Four Circle -> Intermediate Knight
Five Circle -> Knight Marshal
Six Circle -> Knight General
Seven Circle -> Advanced Knight
Eight Circle -> The Grand Knight
Nine Circle -> Astral Knight
Aside from Knights and mages, there are other types of professions that people pursue like healers, alchemists, physicians, scholars,s and many more.
Many other rare professions also exits which will be introduced further into the story.
That's it for the power system explanation! (^.^)
