Chapter 7 - Learning

Nothing much had occurred when Techno got back from the hunt, he was able to pick up a little bit of money from the shared catch of the day. Which was a poor unsuspecting bee hybrid, one Techno had never seen before, but doubted he ever would again, especially not that one.

He had gotten home safely and plopped down a single pie he had been able to buy from a stall he passed. Surprisingly he had only just been able to pay for it, turns out bee hybrids don't cash in for that much.

The Piglin hybrid would have said morning to the younger males in the house but ended up retreating to his room before he could even try to get near the chaotic little fuckers. They were up, he could hear them bickering. But he felt too exhausted to even try conversing with them.

And by the time he had reached his own shabby little room, taken his shoes off and collapsed into the bed he had drifted away into a deep sleep.

Techno steadily walked through the forest looking at the sky every few minutes to see if he could find the redness of the sun popping into the sky. He felt bad for leaving the house immediately and not wishing the boys goodbye, but the voices were quite controlling when he woke up from his nap.

He did admit he felt guilt for leaving his brothers in the house alone all this time and especially when he didn't even see them both when he got back and when he left for the hunt he was on now. He had worried slightly at the aggressiveness of the voices when he had woken up and thought it best to avoid interaction for a few hours.

Of course this worked out quite well with Techno anyway as he had been able to separate from the humans on the hunt again and instead make his way over to the area where he was supposedly meant to meet [y/n] for 'training'. It was around the time he was meant to meet her so he had started on the path to the opening of the forest he had visited every night for the past few days. He had started to remember the path quite well by this point!

"Good morning Mr. Blade." Her voice came from just behind the branches in front of him. She must have heard him with those delicate fluffy ears of hers. "Still surprised you turned up, was a bit of a last minute ordeal with this training business eh?"

He scoffed in his reply, "Well, I'm not one to agree to something then back out." It was true, if Techno had said he would do something he mainly stuck to his word, unless it was something ridiculous (like the time Tommy had made him agree to sing in front of Wilbur, he most definitely didn't stick to his word there!)

"I'm glad! Well, I hope you don't mind but I'd like to get started right away! If we spend the first hour with swords then I'll take over by showing you the basics of the bow!" [y/n] laid down two bows on the ground, one for each of them. One of the bows Techno remembered as it was the one she had left for him to keep safe the other night, and the other was a tad bit simpler, he assumed that one would be for him.

As she laid down the bows Techno undid the cloak hung around his broad shoulders and tossed it aside, now revealing two swords he had brought. Both of which were simple iron straight swords, unfortunately Techno never had the money or resources for a much more durable sword like diamond or netherite.

He ran his hand through his thick, long, pink hair brushing it off his face as he handed one of the swords to the Elytrian in front of him who hastily took it from his grip. She studied it intently while carefully waving it in front of her in such a manner that made the Piglin cringe ever so slightly.

"Look if you wanna learn how to fight with this thing you've at least gotta hold it correctly." He interjected making the winged girl look up to him and almost snap out of her daze. Leaving the other sword safely in his scabbard on his hip he walked up to [y/n], "Here, like this." He moved her hands so that one held the handle at the button and the other at the top.
