“So what then?” Hyede asked.
“I’m just going to tech you how to consolidate your movements better. It will help you stay in a position to counter attack your opponent.” he responded.

“Well then I’m all ears.” Hyede answered cheerfully.
“Ah, well I’m also not going to teach you in the normal sense.” the hermit continued.

“Oh god… Not another telepath.” Hyede grumbled.
“How did you know I was a telepath?” the old man asked.

“Let’s just call it on the job experienced. I’ve had upwards of four of your guys poking around in my head.” Hyede responded.
“Ah, well rest assured, I will not be probing your memories. I already know everything about you that I need to.” the old man stated.

“Well then I guess we can give it a shot.” Hyede replied and stepped closer to the old man.
“Good. Take a seat and we’ll begin.” the hermit said as he sat down in the middle of the stone mesa.

“Ok, but why do we have to sit?” Hyede asked.
“Sometimes my telepathy can be a little disorienting. I’ve had more then one student stumble off the edge of the cliff after a session.” the hermit responded.

“Errr, I see… Well then I’ll go ahead and have a seat then.” Hyede replied and sat down in front of the old man.
“Good. Now relax, lean forward please.” the old man stated.

Scooting closer, Hyede leaned forward and after a moment to prepare himself, the old man put his hands on either side of the young man’s head. The two closed their eyes at the hermit made contact with Hyede’s mind and began to impart his knowledge.

The knowledge transfer continued for several minutes, most of it consisting of the many different martial arts used on earth and a few developed on other worlds.

After several minutes the transfer was complete and the old man released Hyede’s head. The young man leaned back and braced himself back on his elbows as he tried to digest the large amount of knowledge and experience that had just been dumped into his mind.

“I did say it was a bit disorienting. But soon that will pass. Then we’ll send you on your way back to the spaceport.” the old man stated as he stood up and waited for Hyede to recover.

“Mmm, you weren’t kidding, my head’s spinning like crazy.” Hyede replied and he laid back and folded his arms over his eyes.
“It will pass, don’t worry.” the hermit reassured him.

“So… um… I don’t suppose you know how I can get down a little faster then the way I came up do you?” Hyede asked and sat back up after a moment.
“Actually I do. I’ll send you down the same way I get my supplies up.” the old man stated.

“Oh, wouldn’t by any chance be by helicopter would it?” Hyede asked.
“Hmhmhm… No. That stove is about the most technological thing I have up here. That and a radio if I need to contact one of the lower camps.” the old man answered with a chuckle.

“Well then how am I going to get down? The draining effect of the mountain will keep me from flying down.” Hyede asked.
“I’ll teleport you to the base. It’s fast and you can be back home today.” the hermit replied
