章 838: Micheals training

" let me ask you something fundamental about strength. what is the best measure of strength really? ". Micheal asked Rudra amidst a sparring session 

Rudra thought about it and then replied " Force" 

Micheal nodded and said " Force one can generate , however I think a better answer is force generated per unit area , so basically pressure ". 

Rudra agreed to this explanation and waited for Micheal to continue. 

" Think about breaking twigs with your hand , imagine breaking a single twig , it's easy but breaking maybe 1000 twigs bundeled together is hard. It's not because the 1000 twigs can withstand the force you are applying , it's because being 1000 in number , these twigs are now distributing the applied pressure better".

This made perfect sense to Rudra , it was science 101. 

" If a blade is sharp enough it doesn't matter if it's 1 twig 100 twigs or an entire tree it can slash through the tree with ease.
