The Charismatic Charlie Wade

As the clock struck eight, Master Vail bowed respectfully to Charlie and Wesley before making his way to the front of the crowd.

The old master stood tall and proud, stroking his long beard with one hand as he addressed the eager students.

“Greetings, everyone! Welcome to the first-ever Martial Arts Training Conference hosted by Master Wade! I am Master Maximo Vail, the thirty-ninth head of Mystic Harmony Sect, and I am humbled to have been invited by Master Wade to impart my knowledge of martial arts to all of you.

Over the course of the next few hours, I will be sharing with you everything I have learned in my lifetime, and I hope that together we can all make great strides in our training.”

Master Vail paused briefly, allowing the enthusiastic applause from the students to die down before continuing.

“Today, I will be teaching you all the first chapter of ‘Great Way of Harmonious Unity’ without reservation.

This is a highly coveted martial arts mentality, and regardless of your level of experience or expertise, I urge you to approach this training with a steady and humble mindset.

Even for those of you who have already mastered the dark realm, there is always something new to be learned.”

Charlie had long since made it clear to all those attending that “Great Way of Harmonious Unity” was a rare and highly sought-after martial arts mentality, and even Wesley had taken the time to prepare himself thoroughly for this unique learning opportunity.

With great enthusiasm, Master Vail launched into the first chapter of “Great Way of Harmonious Unity”, taking care to explain the purpose and principles of the martial arts mentality in great detail.

Though the first day of instruction was entirely theoretical, even martial arts masters like Wesley gained new insights into the art of fighting. Meanwhile, for beginners like Nanako, Aurora, Isaac Cameron, and Don Albert, the slower pace of instruction gave them ample time to prepare and absorb the new knowledge being presented to them.

By the end of the first day of classes, both seasoned martial artists and newcomers alike expressed their satisfaction with Master Vail’s teachings.

Charlie, who had been watching from the sidelines, was similarly impressed by the old master’s performance.

Given enough time, there was no doubt in Charlie’s mind that Master Vail could help these students establish or re-establish a rock-solid foundation in martial arts.

Once the class had ended, Charlie sought out Nanako and Aurora to gauge their impressions of the day’s teachings.

“So, how did you feel today?” Charlie asked.

Nanako smiled thoughtfully before replying, “It felt like my very first English class as a child.

Back then, I knew nothing about the language, and had to start by learning the basics of the twenty-six letters.

Similarly, I’m not yet familiar with the intricacies of martial arts, but Master Vail’s down-to-earth descriptions make it easier for newcomers like me to understand.

While I may not yet fully comprehend the mysteries of martial arts, his explanations have given me more specific impressions of these concepts.

It reminds me of my English teacher as a child, who would use creative metaphors to help us remember things.

For example, she’d liken A to an iron tower, B to glasses, and C to the moon.”

Aurora sighed in agreement, “Master Vail’s teaching is certainly engaging, and it doesn’t seem so intimidating.
