Ragnal beat me back, driving me around the perimeter of the yard. "Fivefold Strike!" he screamed again.
"How many uses per day do you have on that thing?" I screamed back.
"Uses? Lad, don't tell me you fall for that. Any ability worth getting... FIVEFOLD STRIKE... is worth getting as an Inherent. All day, every day. FIVEFOLD STRIKE."
I spat small flecks of blood. "But... stamina limits..."
"Get an Inherent that increases the rate of your stamina recovery. Fivefold...."
A ball of fabric smacked him in the mouth. "That's enough, Ragnal. New soldier's under half." <1>
"Under... what?" Ragnal replied.
Bigni rolled his eyes, and closed them, but did not sigh. "Half health, Ragnal. He's below half his health total.
"But... no, no. I've gotten six experience points off him already. Do you have any clue how long it's been since I've been able to do that? Let me at least make it an even ten."
I have recently had a "request" from my family to spend time with them this coming weekend, so I'll be gone for different reasons than normal.
Had something else to put here, and lost it in writing the chapter. I'm almost certain I'll remember as soon as I close this window.
