Awakening (5)

"Put your back into it! What the hell happened to you in the time we were not sparring?"

In the few days since Alice woke up, Dax had refused to leave his compound at Kingstead, so to spend the time he had been drilling close combat techniques into Terra, much to her despair. 

"Kuh! Sorry!"

This time Dax was instilling his disciple the art of kicking in a very qiton way of teaching, with both of them holding their arms behind their backs Dax and Terra would take turns kicking each other while the receiving one would be blocking to the best of their ability. 

"As a normal mammal, you default to using your arms! What are you going to do if you lose your arms in battle!? Stop fighting!?"

Delivering a high kick from the left side Dax flipped his weight and landed before kicking Terra's undefended right side within a second, sending her flying into one of the nearby walls.
