Chapter 91 - Messed up (1/2)

Diana found herself crashing onto the fall, as Aroma allowed her get closer before stepping aside.

”Get up and come with me.” Aroma said, not paying attention to her heavy breathing and enraged expression.

Getting in front of the wooden plank design in a human form and planted in the ground; Aroma moved closer to one and gesture for Diana to the same.

Diana, still feeling extremely pissed, did as she was told, but was fuming with rage inside. Thanks to her exposing outfit, the area she got hit at was now red. Although Aroma didn't apply force to it, her skin is exposed and thanks to its colour; it will get red even if one rub a thumb on it.

”You will start with endurance. All of them here would allow you hit them freely, but you will still get to feel the pain in the end because they are used to pain. You need a certain amount of strength in your hits to make them feel something or at least not be able to keep a straight face after the hit.” Aroma explained.

'Not if I give my ultimate move. Even the immortal will feel it.' Diana said in her head.

”Now come here.” Aroma said. The dummy hand were sideways, leaving it completely open for attacks from different angles.  In a slow motion, she explained to Diana how to achieve hits, which Diana squinted her eyes in response to.

Asking her to move in front of the dummy, she helped her with the hand movement. Not rushing her but taking it slow for her to grasp what she's teaching well.

Diana followed and after an hour of restarting which seems like torture to Diana, while Aroma remained the same; she finally understoodd the steps.

Moving to the second dummy, Aroma and Diana began practicing the move separately. They weren't hitting the dummy yet, just mastering the movements of the blows.

After Aroma was assured that Diana has really understood the movements, ”watch!” She said and began hitting the dummy in that same move she thought her.

Diana held her breath as Aroma fair skin began to turn red from the impact of the hit, yet her expression remained the same like it's nothing.

”Give it a go.” She instructed.

”I should hit a wooden plank?” Diana asked in disbelief.

”Yes, do it.” Aroma replied flatly, without any hint of playfulness in her tone.

Seeing that her expression is changing, Diana slowly began. Hitting the under arm of the dummy, the chest, tummy, hitting it's thigh with her leg and all.

She now regretted putting on such outfit. Aroma, without minding her skin that were changing colours already, kept on instructing, ”chest! arm! kick!” she kept guiding her.

Diana thought it was the end until, ”Apply more force to the hit.” Aroma said.

”What!” Diana exclaimed.

”Go on. Imagined the pain from it as the one you're feeling from your opponent's hit. Let's build your endurance to pain first, so go on.” Aroma said, folding her arms across her chest, not leaving room for arguments.
