Another swing, another notch on the left side, albeit a quite bit deeper. This time, he heard a deep, resounding crack come from the tree. 'I'm making progress.' He thought. Again roughly freeing his sword, he felt it almost becoming detached from the labor. It wasn't much of an actual feeling, but something deep inside of him was asking him to use something else. However, Kaosu never trusted his gut instincts because, nine times out of ten, they were wrong. He cleaned the sword of the odd syrup that coated it, and again focused on the tree.

Kaosu was pleased of the work he had done, for he was approaching halfway through the tree. His arms were becoming a little sore, but nothing he couldn't manage. Again he felt that feeling of detachment, but again he ignored it. He prepared his sword for another swing at the tree...

Kaosu through the hacking, became a little detached as he was starting to become a little bored.'Clear head,' he thought, 'gotta have a clear head.' And again he cleaned his weapon, preparing for another swing. 'I wonder if any of the captains did this?' He thought as he continued swinging. 'I mean, they all had to start somewhere.'

Staring at the deep rut in the tree trunk, Kaosu swung once, and was rewarded with a deep 'thwock' and another crack of the tree. He smiled as he jiggled the sword free and prepared for another strike.

'Almost there.' He thought, catching his breath. 'Just keep going.' He almost saw himself as a forester. "If this were the mortal world, Greenpeace would be having a field day with me." He didn't quite remember what that is or why he said it, but it made sense.

Finally Kaosu was straining against the thickness of the tree, so he decided that this strike would be his, hopefully, best one of them all. He sat there, weapon raised, for a few moments as he cleared his head. Eventually, he was ready. He tensed his muscles in both legs and arms, and prepared his downswing. He didn't get as far as he thought, achieving the same distance of damage as the last consecutive swings. Another swig of water to cool his hot throat and he was ready for action.

Kaosu stared into the sky and guessed that it was about a half an hour now that he had been hacking at the hard wood, and Kaosu was tired and hungry. 'But that's what this training is all about.' Kaosu reassured himself. 'It's endurance.'
After a few minutes, Kaosu picked himself up and went at it again. He again hit the wet, fresh tendrils of the tree trunk which produced another wonderful 'thock' in the wet wood.

He got a little bored with just hacking at the tree, so he decided to work on his 'style'. He jumped back and darted forward again, landing his sword straight into the previously made crevice. He felt raw success flowing through his veins as his heart pumped with pride. 'I'm getting there.' He thought. 'I'll need tons of more practice, but I'm getting there.'

This time, Kaosu pretended the tree was an imaginary foe. He slowly circled the tree, pacing one foot in front of the other. Then, the tree's imaginary sword came whirling at Kaosu's left, so Kaosu dodged right, dove, and struck home; the tree's midsection.

Kaosu studied his work on the poor tree as he chugged his skein of water. 'Not too bad.' Kaosu said to himself. 'Not bad at all.' He took a kick at the tree, hoping to take it down easier, but it was still as sturdy as it was when it was untouched by a blade. Again he picked up his weapon, ready to fell the tree. 'It's coming down today.'

Kaosu again practiced his 'technique'. He normally swung his sword into the tree, but instead of just regularly pulling it out, he jumped, though rather clumsily, around the tree freeing the blade. Picking himself up, he again readied his treeborne assault.

Kaosu readied his sword for a strike to the right, but before he got to the tree, he changed the focus to his right leg, twisted his torso, flipped the sword, and hacked into the tree. He felt pretty good, and he was getting a pretty good feel to how his sword handled.

He returned his sword to it's normal position, and studied his surroundings while keeping his eyes on the tree. He saw his next move to his right. He sprinted sideways, jumped onto the nearby tree, and rocketed towards his target; sword out.
He hacked into the tree, spun around the trunk, and landed behind his target. He took a few labored breaths, and admired his work. 'I'm almost there. It's almost felled.'

This attack was simple, he simply did a spin and hit into the trunk hole. He just shook his head. 'Definetly not my style. Glad I couldn't see that.' He finally decided that it was a fine time to go to sleep.

Kaosu, after a nice though puzzling night's rest, came back to the forest, easily identifying the damaged tree from the rest. He stretched his back and unsheathed his sword. He stared at it's curved design, and pondered what his previous night's dream in his dorm meant. Nontheless, Kaosu had a tree to fell...
