章 126: Trial (2)

"So that's why they wear helmets…."

It is possible to train your head to withstand some blows by either hardening the skull or building up a strong layer of thing muscle around your skull… but even then, that usually comes with some consequences.

Training your skull like that will have an inevitable result of concussions and, most likely, brain damage. 

"Okay, now I know where to aim," I muttered before sidestepping one of the spartans' swords and stepping on another's foot.

They were trapped for a split second, causing them to trip when they tried to move away and swing at me again.

"Two…" 

I dashed away, making sure to conserve as much stamina as possible, but from what I could see right now, I wasn't going to have much of a problem on that end of the spectrum.
