{Training To Fight}

Karl sighed as he finally finished writing, 'The Pit', he looked at the camera he used to record the whole battle thing and replied it, thankful that this time he didn't have to do much but bring people in battles, record and do commentary with King Porkius.
"Greetings, Karl."
Karl looked up and turned to see King Porkius,"Oh, hello again are you here for your camera??", "No, not at all. I just happened to notice you rewatching the battles and it is a shame I never got to see you fight.", Karl chuckled nervously as Porkius sat down next to him on the steps,"I uh, don't think you would have wanted to. I would have been defeated in minutes as I can't fight or defend myself.", Porkius was surprised and turned to Karl,"Really? What makes you believe that?", Karl put the camera down and turned to Porkius ready to point out all the injuries he's gotten because of the people he meets in both the past and future.
"Let's see, in the Village I got stabbed in the stomach leaving a brusie, then I got my throat slit by Sir Billiam that left this scar, then in an underwater city I got stabbed in head and stomach that left two brusies one on my head and another on my stomach, then not long after that got brusies on my finger tips because of the trigger on a gun and finally I was subjected to play games of Death with a ghost that lead to multiple burns, brusies and scratches that will probably never fade."
Porkius listened patiently as Karl explained and showed the proof and it looked like they weren't going to fade any time soon.
Karl sighed,"So, yeah, I'm useless when it comes to fighting as I only choose flight and it ends with me getting injured in some way.", Porkius nods slowly, as he slowly got an idea for this.
"Karl, come with me for a moment."
Karl looked up and saw Porkius stand and turn down the hall, he got up and followed after him wondering what the heck was going on.

They entered the coliseum, Karl looked around,"Back here?", "Sort of. See this what Ran called it a Limbo, it's like a safe place or a prison for someone who has passed.", Karl nods, looking around and then notices a rack of swords and Watson standing by them,"Uh, what's going on.", Porkius smiled as he took out two swords,"You say you are useless at fighting, but you can change that in an instant as of now you're going to be training and I'll be your instructor.", Porkius tossed Karl a sword, who barely managed to catch it.
Karl was worried as heck, and why was he?
Because this was Techno's Descendent and Techno was known to not take it easy on people bo matter how inexperienced you are with swords, unless you're Ranboo.
"But, because according to someone I can get carried away, so Watson is also going to be your instructor and of course, keep me in line.", Karl smiled at Watson who smiled and waved back, he liked Watson's friendship with Porkius as it reminded him very much of Philza's friendship with Techno.

"Okay, let's start of with some of the basics, even if it sounds boring."
Watson held a sword of his own, but made sure it was same sword Karl had.
So Watson talked Karl though about how his feet should be in a certain position as of that way to keep balance over himself and when holding the sword, holding pointing out that many different swords have different weights to them so it was notice that Karl uses weapons he can easily pick up and carry around, as if the weapon is not heavy it can allow better movements and attacks.
Watson showed off attacks and Karl copied, he allowed Watson to help show how it should go as it was important to think about your movements before attacking as well as the opponent's movements.
Karl never thought he'd enjoy sword training, but Watson and Porkius made it all fun and easy.
Porkius did offer that Watson could teach Karl and then he would test Karl at the end of the week so basically every Sunday he'd have to fight Porkius.
Great.
But Karl couldn't help but feel like he was getting a headstart as they were from the future and they were teaching him techniques and moves that probably don't even exist back in his time so it anything, this will be helpful if anyone tires to attack him back home.

Over the weeks Karl's training had improved a lot, he's more active, he's thinking more outside the box and his physical strength as improved too.
Porkius joked that the next person to mess with him would be quivering before the fight even began.
Watson was also very impressed, as Karl did say he was a fast learner and really showed Watson and Porkius what he can do if he set his mind to it.
And of course, Karl has been training with over weapons as to get better use to them if he needed to, and Watson even showed him out to hide them in your boots, up your sleeve and just anywhere you can.

Over the months, Karl has proven to himself that he does have it in him to fight and is no longer getting pains from pulling a trigger of a gun and he was excited to work with all sorts of guns so he can get better aim, get use to pulling a trigger and also get use to the loud bang the guns make.
"I'm very impressed, Karl. Probably was the best option to let me do it and Porkius as he would have not gone easy on you.", Karl chuckled,"Doesn't go easy on me when Sunday comes.", "True.", Karl smiled as he put away another weapon,"You know, you and Porkius's friendship reminds me of someone else's back home.", Watson smiled,"Really?", "Yeah, uh I have a friend named Phil back home and he has a friend like Porkius that doesn't hold back when fighting.", Watson chuckled, folding his arms,"Sounds like good people, and Porkius would get along great with him.", Karl nods, dusting off his hands and taking a breather,"Well, I better get going home as usual, same time next week?", "Indeed, and have fun relaxing.", Karl nods and jogs out while grabbing his hoodie and pulling it over his head.
Watson smiled after him, then smiling to himself.
. . .
"That was Techno for ya."
Watson pulled out a green hat and glasses, walking out to find Ran and talk to him now that he was convinced this was Karl travelling in time to fix the mistakes.
