Wednesday:
My first lesson was on the spear.
Professor Knight said that it was a common weapon known for it's length and reach. They are best for stabbing, but they can be used for other types of attacks if handled properly.
It can also be used as a tool for hunting, though I think that is out of the question.
He placed a practice dummy in front of me and I began to attack it with stabs. I could only miss several hits, as Mr. Knight explained that my stance is unbalanced. Legs bent down, arms firm and grip checked. With that, I managed to get hit the dummy even more. Stabs turned into strikes.
He said that if I managed to master my spear skills, I would be ready to learn more weapons like the javelin, halberd, polearm and quarterstaff. He said that if I'm strong enough, I could practice the battleaxe.
When it was time for a spar, he had me wear simple armor. Our duel began and I tried to hit him. However, he would deflect each attack and gain the upper hand on me. I would struggle and try to gain back momentum. When I did managed to strike him through his opening, he parried my attack and disarmed me.
He told me that an opponent like him would be challenging because of how experienced he was.
I had noticed many students watching from the classroom windows.
"Pay attention, Mr. Pendragon." Mr. Knight said strictly. I snapped back into his direction and did so.
It was really tiring, but I did learn a lot of skills.
A/N: Short chapter since this is about him developing his skills. So who should he interact with? As usual, same and different characters are allowed.
