"Jane, you need to rest. You don't need to serve me all the time especially in such cases. If you will not heal fast then it will not be good for me. If ever I had emergency then I wouldn't be able to take you with me." Amishta explained.
"Okay." Jane hesitantly agreed. Amishta was planning to train on her own but Jane wanted to join which Amishta totally disagreed. It has been a day after their training in the mountain and Jane seems to be fine but she still needs more time to train. Amishta was summoned by Hiro as he will supervise her training.
Amishta walked alone to Hiro's residence wherein he had a medium size of training area which is very useful for Amishta. She was amazed by it but she first wanted to see Hiro before beginning her training and try every weapon Hiro has. She found him eating in his small garden while seemingly thinking deeply.
"Uncle, you seems to be preoccupied." Amishta lazily said and take her sit.
"Oh, I was just thinking something. Anyways, you are quite early but I liked it. Let's eat first then start your training." Hiro smiled. Amishta shook her head.
"Uncle, I had already finished my meal but don't worry I'll just be a good company while you are eating." Amishta encouraged her uncle to eat more by putting dishes into his plate. Hiro just loved his niece affection thus continue eating happily.
It didn't take long for Hiro to finish his meal and take a little bit of rest before taking Amishta to train. He has collections of weapons that are totally deadly. He actually uses swords more often but he still didn't stop himself from practicing other weapons. He is a maniac when it comes to weapons.
"Uncle, you have a really good collection." Amishta stated while trying to asses every weapon she get to see. Hiro just shrugged his head as a form of amusement how happy his niece are to see different weapons that is used to kill people.
"You can choose whatever you like and you can keep it." Amishta agreed and get the smallest but sharpest dagger that she saw. Hiro also agreed as it is something appropriate for her.
"Thank you uncle."
"Alright, lets just begin your training. Lets start with swordsmanship. I want you to put weights on your body and fight with my guard. I want you to be all out. Don't hesitate but don't kill my guard. You can small get him wounded." Amishta agreed and get some weights at the side and put it on her body. It was a total of 10 kilos.
She is quite uncomfortable with it but she needs to do it. She holds the sword and that she can feel all the weight on her body but since the past trainings she can do it but still need to train more. The guard suddenly showed up infront of them and Hiro give him some instructions.
"You are already good at fighting since you had some techniques but for this training lets just do more likely some basics to make you regain your real strength and agility. The first thing you do is to have a round of offensive attack to my guard. He won't attack you but he will blocked all your attack and if you fall down you lose."
"Okay." Amishta started to get herself ready and stared at the man infront of her. He was a shadow guard thus his speed is fast and he has been trained all his life while she maybe trained in the past but her body condition right now lacks training. She knew she will probably lost but she will do her best.
"Start!" Hiro shouted and take a sit in the side. Amishta started her attacks very slow at first since she was still adjusting with the weights she has in her body. The guards blockings was enough to make Amishat stumble but she prevented herself to fall down. She was sweating all over his body but she was actually getting excited with the fight.
The guard actually praised Amishta in his mind. He has been the head guard of Hiro eversince and that he actually finish a fight easily. Even if he is just blocking but the strength and persistent of Amishta was enough for him to be delighted with this training. He thought that she maybe not an ordinary girl but still surpass his expectation.
The guard was thinking too much of how amazing his masters niece that he lost his mind in the fight that made him nearly wounded but as a head guard he managed to compose himself back and blocked the sword which is just half an inch to his stomach.
The guard then take the fight seriously and blocked Amishta with his real strength. Amishta nearly fall down but she get up again and attacked. She used her tricks but with her strength she can't defeat him with it especially that she is only trained to kill immediately and just wounds is hard for her. She then fall down after half an hour.
Amishta can't help herself but be disappointed. Though she know she can't win it is still hard to accept some facts especially that time is easily passing by. How can she even changed the plot if the story if she will not be strong enough to do so.
"Princess, don't be disappointed with yourself as I actually believe in your strength. It take me a lifetime to be in my good condition but you only take months to have such foundation so it was just in no time you can surpass me." The guard smiled and gone back to his post. Hiro didn't talked but agreed. Amishta just smiled.
"He is right so cheer up." Hiro stated as he passed her a bow. Hiro was about to help Amishta take of the weights but Amishta moved away.
"I think I need it. No worries, I can still managed it." Amishta assured Hiro and then hold the bow.
"Okay. So before you practice the bow take a rest a little bit."
"I am actually fine. I think it is better for me to continue practicing. I can't just rest just after an hour of practice or else I would be slowing my progress." Hiro nodded. He actually knew it but he just cared too much but since his niece is so amazing then he might as well train her all out.
"Good. I know that you are best in archery so I will just asses you as I train you about it. I want you to be blindfolded and ride the horse. I will have other horses running in the area and you need to target the bell that is attached to them. You can only stopped and removed the blindfold after I command you." Amishta nodded.
Amishta jumped into the horse perfectly then Hiro give her the clothe to blindfold herself. She didn't say anything and covered her eyes. She doesn't know how many is her target but she will just trust in his instinct and actually she felt it darkness was her advantage as a modern assassin she was always given a mission in the dark.
Amishta concentrated and moved the horse at the center. She can already hear the horses running around and the bells are just ringing. She was counting them in her mind. She didn't even attack for atleast five minutes and just sit in the horse silently. Hiro was just quite while observing her.
Amishta then hold the bow and fixed an arrow. She then pulls the arrow very fast and shoot the bells in the five horses very fast. As she shoot an arrow to the last bell from the last horse Hiro made the horses panic that made her arrows didn't shoot the bell. Her horse also panicked thus made her near to fall but she managed to made it stable and run towards the last horse.
While her horse is running she shoot an arrow that directly ring the bell. She just smiled and went towards Hiro. Hiro was very impressed that he was not able to talk for a minute. He really did underestimate his niece. Amishta just patiently waited for Hiro for the command.
"You can just removed it already. You are really good." Amishta happily removed the blindfold and cheekily smile at Hiro. She seems to be a cute child asking for more compliment.
"You are good but remember battlefield is way more dangerous than you think. With your strength, you can only last for many hours but winning will not be guaranteed. Since you want to lead then train even harder." Hiro stated. He knew that his niece is outstanding but he is still a general and saying that was something he needs to say. Amishta nodded.
"As for those weapons that I had, you can practice it with me after you had progress a little more. I think that those were you're specialty. For now, train with swords more. I want you to put more weights on your body and train the basics." Hiro stopped talking when he notice his guard was about to say something to him. The guard give him a letter.
"Is there anything wrong?" Amishta asked.
"Nothing serious. Your brother just encounter a fight after the monthly inspection from the border. I will just see things there. Though it was not serious but since I am in charged in the northern border then I will need to investigate what happened." Amishta agreed. She suddenly thought of her brother and suddenly missed them more.
