Episode 135
Episode 55. Cramming training (5)
“The basic framework of training the storm is similar to that of the brutal training.”
Duran said, spreading his palms in the air. Then, a film of aura the size of Duran’s upper body was formed around the palm of his hand.
It looks like a soft soap bubble. However, unlike soap bubbles, Aura’s film was sticky and hard.
As Duran clenched his hand, the aura’s membrane began to shrink.
Yuma opened her eyes wide and watched her master’s stunts.
As the Auror membrane gets smaller, it compresses the air inside. The constantly compressed air is about to break through the membrane and explode at any moment.
Inside the membrane, compressed air and aura were mixed and swirled.
“…This time, it’s not blades of grass, but air wrapped in an aura, right?”
As soon as he heard Yuma’s answer, Duran released the aura film floating on his palm. Compressed air and aura splashed in all directions.
A power equivalent to two Yuma’s aura spheres. The soil floor where the air and aura came into contact was mercilessly torn apart. It was an incredible destructive power that was hard to believe was emitted from that small membrane.
It was a miniature version unfolded in the same way as the final battle, ‘Storm’, so it was possible.
“My disciple is also quick to understand!”
It’s easy to understand, and it’s not a matter of self-examination. The level of difficulty was much higher than expected, so Yuma touched his forehead with the palm of his hand.
It was easy to just spread the aura in the air. Martial artists who have risen to the level spread their auras in the air and send waves, and Yuma’s aura spheres are also used by floating in the air.
However, the act of ‘wrapping’ the air with Aura
was on a different level.
In addition, it is necessary to form an aura that is dense and thin enough to compress the air, rather than just enveloping it.
Unlike mana, aura refers to a kind of artificial energy.
Ki, such as Aura or Mana, basically have a strong tendency to blend into nature, so if you don’t concentrate and hold on to it, it will quickly disperse. The power of the spirits also has the same.
Needless to say, the more compressed the force, the stronger the property to be released. The ‘powers’ will press the user, struggling to release it right away.
Yuma couldn’t calculate how thick the aura would be needed to compress the air.
Duran looked at the student with a hard face. As soon as you checked the ignorant difficulty, you would have been perplexed.
However, Duran knew how great Yuma’s reaction was. A normal unmanned person would have replied that it was impossible even after seeing it with his own eyes, or that it was possible because you were Duran Jacques.
That arrogant disciple didn’t say he couldn’t do it even after grasping the hopeless level of difficulty. Rather, the will to follow within three days was evident from his tightly closed mouth.
A genius who is arrogant but has never been satisfied with himself. Duran evaluated his pupil that way.
Sensing, Yuma formed an aura on his palm, just as Duran had done. It was easy to make the sphere shape, but it was also difficult to form a compressed film.
“Cluck. It’s not a skill that even you can imitate right away. Starting today, whenever you open your eyes, play with the air. It is to make nature your friend, just like in the grass leaf practice.”
“You won’t even eat until you fall into suspended animation like that time, right?”
“Didn’t you bring something to eat? There is no such thing. And before starting the training properly, I will first pass on Sword Eye.”
For some reason, instead of demonstrating, Duran used an explanation to inform Yuma of how to activate Sword Eye. That would be true, too, because Sword Eye was useless if you didn’t know how to activate it, even if you demonstrated it every day.
Duran ran his fingers all over Yuma’s body.
“How are you feeling?”
Duran put his finger on Yuma’s stomach. Yuma felt an unpleasant lingering sensation near his stomach. It was because of the aura that had gathered at the tips of Duran’s fingers.
“It’s embarrassing.”
“hmm. Right. Normally, if you do this, it is normal to black out.”
“yes?”
“Since someone else’s aura was forcibly injected into a vital part like the pit of the stomach, of course you should be stunned. An aura that has not been assimilated is poison just by being injected. Have you ever boasted to me?”
It was a story about the skill Aura Explosion that Yuma used to kill Shelob in Haseo. The fact that Duran injected the aura into Yuma just now wasn’t much different from the aura explosion.
Auras had unique characteristics for each user, such as fingerprints and irises. If other auras were mixed in the body, problems would inevitably arise.
If you’re lucky, it will end with nausea and dizziness, but if the recoil is severe, an internal explosion will cause you to explode. Yuma’s aura explosion was a technique that worked on that principle.
“Haha… Master’s teaching method is still difficult.”
It was better than when he first received training from Duran. At that time, he was constantly exposed to death because of Duran’s surprise attack, whether he was asleep or awake.
“That’s not it! Wasn’t it going to the other world if I just made a fuss?”
“Hey. It was because there was a corner to believe in. A corner to believe in. Hmm. When I put an aura on the pit of the stomach, it became clear. You should have no problem activating Sword Eye.”
Ogre blood.
That was the corner of Duran’s belief.
In Yuma’s body, the blood of the ogre he fed right before the knight fight remained. That blood that was as pure as a lump of aura with the highest purity in the world.
In fact, even at the moment of feeding Ogre blood to Yuma, who collapsed after the Leaf Practice, Duran was dubious. I wonder if Yuma will be able to bear the blood of an ogre.
The result was successful. Yuma’s body absorbed the ogre’s blood and even synchronized with Yuma’s unique aura.
It was for this reason that Yuma became able to use the Aura Sphere and his physical abilities continued to improve without any special training. He had an error outside of the standard.
‘Scary…
But drinking ogre blood didn’t make anyone like Yuma. Ogre’s blood is not, as Hella put it, ‘health food in the form of a drink’.
Usually it just tastes weird and doesn’t see any effect.
In the case of Yuma, it was possible because her unique aura was equal in ‘level’ to that of an ogre, regardless of destructive power.
Even if he didn’t drink that blood, it was a stage that Yuma would reach on his own someday.
“Close your eyes and let it boil.”
“I didn’t know Master had the talent of a poet. What do you mean by letting the aura boil?”
“Cute guy. Understand everything, but don’t make fun of the old master. Yes, you can die.”
“yes.”
Yuma closed her eyes for a while and drew the aura inside her body. Letting the aura boil meant not to control the power of the aura that would burst through the blood vessels at any time.
It was something Yuma could not have imagined. It was a method used by warriors of advanced sword masters or higher to commit suicide.
It is not difficult to believe in the master. If the Aura ran out of control and became dangerous, Duran would take care of it.
“Oh… this is unique, isn’t it?”
Yuma felt his whole body engulfed in heat. But it wasn’t painful or uncomfortable. After a few minutes in that state, my eyes brightened dizzyingly. Even when you close your eyes.
“Hyeop!”
It was so bright inside my closed eyes that I felt as if I was staring straight at the sun. But it didn’t hurt my eyeballs like when I looked at the sun.
“Now open your eyes and see.”
However, there was no confidence to open my eyes in this state. I was afraid that I would lose my eyesight in an instant.
“Okay. Open your eyes.”
He was so bold at the moment when he could lose his life, but he shrank so much when he felt that he was about to lose his sight. Yuma smiled at his contradiction and slowly opened his eyes.
“haha.”
Of course, there was no loss of sight. However, the activation state of ‘Sword Eye’ he had imagined was not unfolding.
A whole new world. Yuma saw the whole world in a blurry, distorted form.
‘This is the feeling that the field of view… is completely made up of symbols.’
There was nothing that looked intact. Duran’s face looked like a strange triangle of dough, and the ground looked like a waving musical note.
Whoop!
This sounds familiar. The sound of a fast-raised fist crossing the wind. But the feeling was over. Whoop! The sound that should have been heard briefly was uh uh uh uh .. I slowly sensed it.
Yuma lightly turned her head to avoid the punch and then quickly jabbed. A time of just one second. However, Yuma felt that more than 5 seconds had passed.
Fain!
Yuma’s fist hit Duran’s guard. It was not a fold, but a light blow sounded like a straight blow with full power.
Is Sword Eye like this? Yuma was able to block Duran’s fists that continued to fly. Even the trajectory of the flying fist looked like a strange symbol.
As if reading a language, Yuma followed Duran’s movements. Both his attack and Duran’s attack came in an unknown language that he could not pronounce but could understand.
“Hee hee hee hee.”
After a total of 20 attacks, Yuma canceled Sword Eye. The release came naturally as the aura was subdued in the reverse order of activation.
“oh. Originally, the first time I used Sword Eye, I was so excited that I used excessive force until I collapsed.”
Did you put up with the pleasure of that compulsive step forward and cancel the activation?
Duran was even more surprised by the fact that his apprentice had succeeded in Sword Eye in one go.
“I saw what happened to Sir Randell. I only activated it briefly, but I am very tired.”
Yuma hurriedly ran to the sack of food and greedily tore off the jerky. I was hungry like crazy. After emptying ten rows of beef jerky and swallowing a piece of cheese, I felt like my mind was clearing up.
“It’s because I haven’t gotten used to it yet. If you do it this way, you can’t be better than the first time.”
“I should have packed more food. This… My meal plan is going to be huge in the future. ”
“Even though I relaxed and dealt with you, you just followed my movements exactly. How cheap is the price if you consider that price?”
The feeling that those strange symbols give when you activate Sword Eye. Yuma thought it wouldn’t be unreasonable to unleash the curtain of aura if he could control it more delicately.
“However, do not rely solely on Sword Eye. You have to be able to handle the aura enough to compress the air in normal times.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Do it in three days. After that, we will do a warm-up against the turn haze. it’s real Even if you learn how to handle the storm, what’s the point if you can’t use it in real combat?”
I got a clue from day one. There was no reason why he couldn’t do it as long as he had the strength and will to support it.
That night, Duran and Yuma talked about Guinness for a while as they emptied the tongju of Matan. Except for that time, Yuma couldn’t sleep and devoted himself to training.
For the other two days, Malone and Jeka supplied the food shortage.
“It looks like Hugo’s training is too tight.”
Duran looked at Marlon and Jeka, who had delivered the food sack, and said.
“My Yuma must be drinking pure honey from Duran and Oh Sun-do… What are you eating so much? Please tell them to enjoy the rest of the two days as much as possible.”
“I bet you guys don’t know what kind of hell Yuma is going through right now.”
Yuma and Duran left the special training ground after completing their training period.
