HP: Embrace the Darkness

"But I need to rest."

Ases raised the cup in his hand and shook it, then drank the rest of the tea in one gulp.

It had been a long time since he had spoken so many words in one breath. Even when he was arguing with others over profits in a meeting, he would only argue for a while and then stop for a while. He would never talk nonstop.

Young Snape pursed his lips, still unwilling to give up. He waited for Athis to finish drinking, then asked again: "Can we talk now?"

Ases couldn't persuade him, so he just finished the page.

Another half hour passed.

Now Ases was really speechless.

He coughed a few times, took out a bottle of potion from the ring and drank it.

Noticing that the young man was staring at his ring with burning eyes, he suddenly remembered what he had promised before, took out a pendant and handed it to him.

"It's been so long since we met, but I haven't given you a gift yet. Take this alchemical pendant."

The boy's eyes lit up and he took the pendant and played with it lovingly.

Ases checked the time and took out a set of training clothes from the ring and placed them on the table.

"I didn't know that Sif was going to let me teach you how to fight, so I didn't prepare your training suit. This suit is mine, and I've never worn it before. It might be a little big, so you can adjust it yourself."

The boy then turned his eyes away from the pendant and looked at the clothes on the table. They were dark green and felt very smooth.

"Go change your clothes, I'll wait for you downstairs."

After saying that, Ases walked out.

The young boy Snape went back to his room carrying the clothes in his hands. When he came out, he had changed into a short-sleeved training suit. He seldom wore such tight short-sleeved shirts and felt a little uncomfortable. He walked downstairs with a hunched body and saw Ases waiting for him on the sofa.

When Ases heard the voice, he turned around and frowned slightly.

She is too thin. It wasn't very obvious before the clothes covered it, but after she changed into tight clothes, all you can see at a glance are protruding bones.

The original plan needs to be changed.

Ases silently modified the training plan in his mind, but his eyes and expression did not change at all, which eased the boy's nervous mood after he changed his clothes.

He didn't want to see pity in Athis's eyes, nor did he need pity.

The two came to the open area outside the farm, which was a little far away from the farm. Although the young Snape was puzzled, he didn't ask anything.

Ases must have had his reasons for running all the way outside the farm.

He noticed when he came that the ground here feels soft, so it wouldn't hurt too much if he fell. If that doesn't work, he can find a cushion to cushion his fall.

In another world, Draco, who always got beaten on the hard stone slab, suddenly sneezed. A strong sadness spread, and he was so scared that he quickly picked up the communicator on the table.

"Have you found my brother? No? Then why don't you go find him quickly? Okay, okay, stop talking about other things. Put other things aside and find him! If you can't find him, you don't have to come back!!!"

Putting down the communicator, the anger on Draco's face disappeared.

After much thought, he was still worried, so he called the house-elf to pack his luggage.

He had to live with his godfathers and godmothers so that he could be the first to know any news.

At the same time, young Snape's fighting class officially began.

The clothes didn't have much impact on Ases. He even intended to let it go, so he didn't change his clothes and still wore a white shirt and pure black trousers.

Now, he slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms with smooth lines. He clenched his fists with a little force, and the bulging blue veins meandered upward along his wrist bones and sank deep into his clothes. He looked thin when dressed and had muscles when undressed.

"Time is tight. I can't teach you from the basics. I can only let you suffer a little. How much you can learn depends on yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ases suddenly took a step forward and punched unexpectedly.

The sharp wind almost instantly stung the young Snape's cheek. He subconsciously reached out to block it, but Aces reacted faster. He changed his punch to an elbow, avoided the blocking hand, and rushed forward. In the end, his elbow stopped just at the chin, just missing it.

Ases was not surprised by the result and withdrew his hand with a smile.

"If the enemy you are facing is too strong and you think you are unsure, a sneak attack is a good choice. Don't talk to me about morality. There is no morality between life and death. The only goal is to survive."

As soon as he finished speaking, the opponent immediately imitated him and swung a fist, aiming at his head.

Ases dodged it easily, grabbed the boy's wrist with his backhand, and brought his fist in front of him, right at his neck.

"If I were you, I would attack the other person's Adam's apple. The Adam's apple is very fragile. Attacking it can even kill you. It's normal to accidentally attack it in a panic."

What's the killing curse?

There are thousands of ways to die, even with bare hands, Ases has countless ways to kill the foursome.

This is just the first one.

Next, Ases personally took action and used himself as an example to fully demonstrate various reasonable and cruel methods of killing. The boy's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened.

"In addition to the place I just mentioned, men have another fatal weakness. You know it yourself. Sometimes attacking there can produce unexpected results. Just know this. I won't demonstrate it."

The reason he didn't show it was because he hadn't thought about giving up all emotions and desires for the time being.

There will be none in the future.

"Now, if you come and attack me, I'll teach you how to dodge. If you can't dodge, where can you take the attack?"

Young Snape punched him.

Ases voluntarily gave up his defense and fed his opponent moves little by little, while also providing real-time explanations. It was inevitable that he would make mistakes while trying to do two things at once. The young man was not careful in fighting, and Ases was hit by several punches in a row.

A punch hit the side of his face, and the corner of his mouth hit his teeth, which were immediately broken. Ases raised his hand to wipe off the blood without caring.

"I'm fine, continue."

Almost in the next second, another punch came from the opponent. Ases dodged sideways, bent down and twisted his waist, grabbed the young Snape's arm and threw him to the other side.

He was careful and restrained himself in the end. There was a cushion on the ground that he had specially placed, so it didn't hurt much when he fell. The thin boy stayed on the ground for less than a second before he immediately got up, alert to Ases' next move.

Ases did not pursue immediately.

In order to take care of the boy's body, he relived the past when he was beaten. The arm that was beaten the most was numb and had no feeling at all. It hurt when he exerted force. It was not a life-and-death fight, so he took a break first.

As if sensing Ases's "weakness", the young man hesitated for a moment and then took a step forward to attack.

Ases evaded the attack with a light twist of his body. "Not flexible enough. You could have hit me with your elbow the moment I dodged."

Swah——

The elbow split the air and headed straight for Ases' chest, but Ases still dodged.

"Your reaction was not fast enough. You could have been faster. Also, don't hesitate, keep going."

Hearing the call continue, the boy threw another punch without saying a word.
