Blake is seen on a shore
His shirt has been torn up showing off every scar he had including one big one across his chest which looks to be done by Dracula, as well as the lightning scar
He seemed to be subconsciously using a technique to slow down his breathing
He managed to use the last of his strength to put his sword away so it's safe
He then feels himself being picked up and carried somewhere but it's taking all his energy to stay alive right now and then he passes out
While doing that he had a flashback
Gramps: Blake the way you can keep yourself alive is by controlling your breathing, it's also a way of accessing strength you never knew you had
Blake: seriously? you can do that through breathing
Gramps: Seriously, I call it total concentration, it's how I'm able to kill things so much stronger then I am even though I'm past my prime
Blake: do you think I can learn it
Gramps: don't be ridiculous
Blake looks down: oh
Gramps smirks: I know you can
Blake chuckles: you're so annoying
Gramps ruffles his hair: and you're such a brat
Blake pouts: Alright let's get started
Gramps: sure
Throguh the next year Blake trained
He did strength, endurance, magic, eventually he managed to unlock it and then was into the next stage
Gramps: alright now it's time for total concentration constant
Blake: so using it all the time
Gramps: Uh huh so get to work
The training was even harder but it's clear there was another reason for such hard training gramps wanted to push Blake's body beyond its limits, beyond the limits of a human
Gramps: (I'm too old to defeat Dracula, but with how this kid is progressing he just might do it, will I be there too see it, or will I be his motivation too do it, who knows)
Gramps used a spell on Blake when he was sleeping if he wasn't using total concentration he'd be shocked by lightning magic
Blake considered this child abuse but gramps didn't seem to care and unfortunately it actually worked
Blake mastered the technique and became unbelievably strong he was faster, strong and felt like he could run forever without getting tired
And this was the technique he was using to keep himself alive
Then his eyes snapped open and he tried to sit up by then everything started hurting and he fell down to the bed
Blake: ugh, alright that's a no
Elderly women: I wouldn't do that right now young man
Blake: yeah no shit
Elderly women: language young man
Blake: fine..sorry just in a lot of pain
Elderly: understandable considering you fell off a cliff and the injury before that its amazing your alive
Blake then formed a fist with his left hand
Blake: well at least that's working again
Elderly women: I'll say if my grandson didn't find you when we did you be dead
Blake: well I guess I have your grandson to thank
Elderly: tch atleast your polite when it matters
Blake rolled his eyes: I'm usually polite I was just in a lot of pain
Elderly women; hmm fair enough you should be able to walk again in a few days
Blake sighed: wait I can't walk for a few days
Elderly women: that's right and in the mean time you can tell me how you got your injuries
Blake: Uhhh that's a really long and complicated story
Elderly women: tch normally young men like you would blabbering about it immediately
Blake: what's that supposed to mean?
Elderly women: many would brag about but you don't want to talk about it don't you
Blake: the reason I was injured was very personal but I failed
Elderly women: failure sounds like a good teacher
Blake: This is exactly why I hate old people
Elderly woman: and why is that?
Blake: Because you're advice is annoying,
Elderly women: but not untrue
Blake: fair enough
Elderly women: look if you want try that personal business again the best you can do is learn what you did wrong and right and try again
Blake: I didn't do anything wrong, the problem I was facing was just bigger than the current me could handle
Elderly women: then you start getting bigger and better too
Blake: I think I'm going to be this height for the rest of my life
Elderly woman: that's not what I meant
Blake: I know, but I'd be training right now if I wasn't bedridden
Elderly women: resting is just as important as training
Blake sighs: fine
Elderly woman: glad you understand
Blake: can't I just use healing magic to speed this process up
Elderly women: Absolutely not
Blake: Huh why not?
Elderly women: Because then your body won't grow stronger from it
Blake: Oh Alright then
Few days later we see blake back on his feet
Blake is stretching: Alright I feel great
Elderly woman: Well then I think it's time for my payment
Blake: Huh?
Elderly woman: I put a lot of money into fixing you up, so you are going to be helping around the house alright
Blake: ugh fine!
Elderly woman: good
And that's a wrap
