Illusive Martial Arts

He stood up and then smiled at him. The master was Luxian, he was a master in the Flickering martial arts in which attuned with his Ethereal Assassin class. They both smiled at each other and then decided which weapon they would use.

"Master, which weapon do you want to use today?" Rumie asked with a cheerful expression. The thing was, he's excited to spar today. Knowing how far his current bodily strength and speed capabilities were important for this testing.

"Up to you. I feel gracious today that I will have to let you choose the weapon you want." Luxian smiled, he felt confident that he would win either ways. Though he wanted Rumie learn something in this spar.

With that, Rumie went to the weapon rack and choose the staff. It was a weapon he used in the past. And so he grabbed the said weapon and went to his master. His master was impressed.

"Peculiar, I thought your favourite weapon was the sword?" He asked.

"Yeah, it is but it's all in the past now," he shrugged then smirked. The thing was, his weapon favourite was the sword. But when he was trained by the Monkey Martial Arts King, he learned that this weapon was more than a decorative weapon for masters. It was harmless and less lethal than the sword but it was versatile and adaptive to anything. The process of learning the said weapon was ardous and excruciating. As the said Monkey Martial Artist was harsher than the Tiger Martial Artist King of the 5 Animal Martial Arts.

"Then let's start!" Rumie said to him.

"Okay good!" Replied Luxian. They began with great energy.

They soon started to be in their stance and then readied for a fight.

"Okay to be fair to you, I will not use my class skills and will fight you fair and square using only martial arts. Ready?" He asked.

"Yeah!" He said to him then they dashed towards each other.

With the dash, Rumie immediately knew his bodily strength and speed. He want to try how far his bodily strength and speed was now currently. It was by far slow, so slow that he was ashamed to even look at himself.

With that, he was forced to use a begginer martial arts. He was still adjusting to his body and he indeed was slow and heavy. Something that was well suited for his current capacity. And so he used illusive martial arts that focuses on evasion. His body was not able to cope up and the only martial arts he could use was a less stressful recoilless exertion. Though it would do. He did not want to rip his muscles just for the small spar. But it was not bad to go all out if he wanted to.

They clashed and then they smashed their staffs. Rumie was able to cope up a bit. And his strength was not much, but still his master was impressed. He swung his staff and Rumie easily evaded it several times. Either he blocked it or evade it.

This martial arts was called Illusive Martial Arts. It was said that it was a martial arts focused on either defense and evasion. A more refined martial arts for the swift and light weight body or constitution.

Then they exchanged blows. His master was using the flickering martial arts. It was a bit advanced and was under the 7 Emperor modes martial arts.

He was having small burst on speed and fades a bit when he used the flickering phase. Making Rumie to have a little bit of a difficulty.

But there's a trick there. His flickering phase was still slower than the masters of the greater realm. His was still on the newbie phase. The thing was, he could see by instinct what his next move was or his next attack. Making him see or evade it. The martial arts called Illusive Martial arts were perfectly designed with such vision or eyes that could predict the next move.

His master was swinging his staff on him and then he rotated his staff in a circle. Then swings again his student. Though, he noticed it once again. He was able to evade his swings even with his newbie martial arts.

They clashed again and he was eagerly wanting to make his student surrender but he could not. He was able to make him improve but he felt that he was improving in a monstrous speed. They attacked with a last resort and that was to end it. Rumie was able to point his staff on his neck and the master was on his face.

Then they end with a draw. He was able to impress the master.

"Hmm, Illusive martial arts? Where did you learn it? Who's master did you learn it from?" He asked.

"Ah, hehe, secret." Rumie scratched his head.

"Don't you hide it from me child. I know all the masters in this realm and Illusive martial arts are trained by assassin types of class." He added. Seemingly agitated and felt betrayed.

"Um, I learned it from a technique scrolls. It seemed that my comprehension is to the peak!" He said.

"Hmm, okay I will believe you this time. But don't lie to me okay? I will easily know if it's true or not."

"Okay!" He shouted. The two then bowed at each other and then smiled.

"I will teach you more about the flickering martial arts. Though with your great comprehension and fast learning talent, you already master illusive martial arts. Maybe you can master flickering martial arts faster." He added. "I will leave you the technique scrolls later. Maybe you will surpass me someday. I believe in you." He patted his shoulders then said. "Today is your birthday, happy birthday to you! I have a gift. This is called Weight limiters!"

He said then handed him the weights on his hands and feet then put it on him.

"Wait, why do I feel weak!?" He shouted in complain. He felt heavier than before and it looked seriously bad and foreboding.
