What followed was grueling.
Each day, Michael was pushed to his limits. The training involved unlearning old habits, refining his swordsmanship, and adjusting his aura pathways. By the end of each session, he would collapse from exhaustion.
Alexander showed no mercy. Every day brought new challenges and pain, but Michael gritted his teeth and persevered.
After six months of intense training, Michael collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily. His body was drenched in sweat, his muscles trembling from strain.
Seeing that the training was complete, Alexander approached and offered his hand.
"It has been an honor to train you, my lord. You've accomplished in six months what most would take a year to achieve. Your talent is truly remarkable," Alexander said, his blue eyes glinting with pride.
Michael took his hand, a smile tugging at his lips.
"It's been an honor learning from you, Alexander."
