Ch:41-Real World-9
HELL. That's the one word to describe my training for the last three weeks, Tama took a strange pleasure in training me and showing me how bad my control over mana was.
Tama:''This is what you need to know about mana control, only morons use there own mana for spells and skills. What you need to do is start to learn to use the mana that is all around you, the only time you should use your own is if you need to start the spell faster and even then you only use a little as a catalyst.''
She then started to show me the proper way to use my mana and the way to put an element in it to make different effects.
Earth – Manipulate and control the earth element to attack an opponent or change the field of battle. Channeling earth mana into body greatly increases defense while slightly increases attack power.
Wind - Manipulate and control the wind element to attack an opponent. Channeling wind mana into feet or arms greatly increases movement speed while slightly increases attack speed.
Fire - Manipulate and control the fire element to attack an opponent. Channeling fire mana into fist greatly increases attack power.
Water - Manipulate and control the water element to attack an opponent. Channeling water mana into body greatly increases healing speed.
Lightning - Manipulate and control the lightning element to attack an opponent. Channeling lightning mana into arms or feet greatly increases attack speed while slightly increases movement speed.
The way she told me how I'm supposed to use the element reminded me of a video game, but it was surprisingly helpful. By using the tips she gave me I was able to start casting real magic, but she still kicked my but.
She had me practices my magic before and after we spared, but she would only fight me physically. She told me that she was to strong for me to fight at ranged combat so I would need to get strong enough to make her.
Besides training with Tama and the others I also tried to use the mastery system for some dragon skills and trying out my new swords and the (copy)Kakugane. Starting with the Kusakabe Shichi Ken(7 treasure swords), in the mana and anime there was little to no info on most of them so it took me some time to get a hang on them.
Kogarasumaru Amakuni - Being 62.7cm in length, the sword is black and curved at its center, but is completely straight after that curve. Its interesting design as if it was a mixture between the continental double-edged "sword" and the Japanese katana. As well as that, this katana also is a mixture between the double-edged sword and the single edged katana. The straight half of the katana, as mentioned above, is crafted like a double-edged sword, while the curved half is crafted like a single edged katana. The power this sword has was to increase stats, the way the sword worked was it increase one stat by 100% or two by 50%. the more stats you increased the lower the increase would be but unlike the other swords you could use it on others not just yourself.
Kannagiri Nagamitsu - It is designed like a claspknife with the blade being only 1/3 of the sword, the rest being the white handle. Except for the blade tip that is curved like a katana the whole sword is straight with no curves. Being the hardest of the set it's power is to extend the blade to any length to surprise the enemy and cut through any metal.
Kashagiri Hiromitsu - Possessing the greatest destructive power the Kashagiri is a big nodachi with the blade length of over 3 shaku. It is difficult to maintain, but holds extraordinary destructive power. Power to throw demonic flames with a swing or cause flaming explosions.
Raikiri - The sword is of thunder element and its shape also somewhat resembles a lightning bolt. Its lightning can be used to strengthen melee power or attacking many enemies from a distance.
Onikiri – Simpler in look to a Japanese long sword and the twin of Kumokiri. This blade holds a curse that is inflicted on its enemies with a cut. On flesh it makes a cut that will not close and will keep bleeding as long as it remains, on items(weapons and armor) the cut will cause them to start to rust and decay.
Kumokiri - Simpler in look to a Japanese long sword and the twin of Onikiri. This blade has power over wind and can manipulate it to make a barrier/shield to deflect or push physical or projectile attacks away from it. Also as Onikiri's twin it can make Onikiri's effects stronger(make the cuts open bigger and bleed heaver).
Doujigiri Yasutsuna – A dark katana that glows a evil dark purple, also the most powerful of the 7 treasure swords, This powerful sword devours life energy(mana and other supernatural energy's or physical strength) of the wielder and turn that energy into great power(increases stats and amplify magic spells by the present of energy used). When used, a pair of demonic-looking arms will grow from the handle and squeeze the wielder's arm. The more energy the wielder allows it to consume, the higher the arms will reach.
It took be a bit of time but with Tama's help I was able to get the hang of my new weapons. To say they were powerful would be a understatement, I decide to start with a bang(BIG MASTAKE!) and start with Kashagiri. Using my mana manipulation skill I tap into Kashagiri's magic, as soon as I do the sword gets bathed in dark red flames. With the exception of Onikiri all the other treasure swords needed me to tap into there magic to use but ones I did, using the magic was like using my own arm.
Raising Kashagiri over my head I swing down fast and a slash of demon fire fly's into the wall, when the four meter flame hit the wall it caused a huge explosion. Were the east wall was a moment ago was a ten meter hole, the explosion was so strong that I was thrown fourteen meters back. There was even a small crater on the ground were the hole is.
May:''What happened?''
Hearing the explosion the girls came over to see what happened. After I told them what happened they reacted the way I thought they would, Sakura just stared at me, May just sighed while shaking her head and Jade.....she just laughed. After that they made me practices with my weapns outside from then on.
It was during the time I was figuring out how to use the 7 treasure swords that I finally tried to use the (copy)Kakugane, I was stumped. It was a book. It was the size of an old tome, it was black in color with only blank pages inside, like in the anime I could make the book smaller but outside of that it gust floated at most two feet away from be, always withing arms reach.
It was jeering the time that Jade was trying out her skills that I figured out what the book dose, Jade was trying her ''Raise Undead'' spell first. She tolded me that normally she would need a body for the spell but at the Terminal Lobby before leaving for the real world she got four vials filed with white powder, she said it was powdered dragon teeth.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Poring a little of the powder on the ground she cast Raise Undead, as soon as she cast the spell the powder flashed, blinding everyone on the room. When the light diapered standing were the powder was a white skeleton stud. In it's left hand a old round shield and in the right was a rusty sword, I would have paid more attention to it but as soon as it was summoned my (copy)Kakugane book opened up. The pages started to flip at an alarming rate, seeing it Jade ran over to see what was happening.
By the time she got to me the pages had stopped flipping, on the page was the same basic description God would give on skills,spells and every thing. And it was on the spell ''Raise Undead''. I did not know what it meant, why was a half-lich spell in this book?
Jade:''Let me try something.''
Jade the started to use her other spell ''Ice Manipulation'' to make a ball of ice the size of a baseball above her hand, right after the ball stopped forming she launched it into a barrel by the wall. I did not pay any attention to what the ice ball did to the barrel because right after she throw it the book started to flip the pages again, after it stopped it was on a new page and like with the last spell it gave the basic description God would give.
It was Jade that figured out what my (copy)Kakugane did, the book had the ability to analyze, copy and replicate and spell I saw and let me use it with my mana or draconic energy's. It looked so over powered at first but we learned the good and bad things after practicing with it for a bit.
Good
1.I did not need to have my Kakugane active for it to get new spells(had Sakura use her Shō and after seeing it I activated my Kakugane and the spell was there).
2.No mater what spell it is or what energy is needed I can cast it.
Bad
1.With my (copy)Kakugane I am only able to use one of the spells at a time, if I use strengthening magic or use May's Kakugane I can use two spells at the same time.
2.I was unable to use any of the spells in the book if it was not out, it was like the knowledge was taken form me with out the book out.
It was still powerful, so much so that Jade gave it the nickname ''Solomon's wisdom''.
The last thing we all did was work on the mastery system, May was having a hard time with her's. By fallowing the manga she found out she had Lightning element Chakra, but she never read up one the skills she could get so she was trying to make her own(or copy them from the manga and anime).
Sakura was the same as May, she worked more on getting in touch with her zanpakutō then the mastery system. The problem she had was though there were a lot of skills in bleach, in both the anime and manga they never tell you how they do or train any of them. So she did what she could with the skills she did have, by the time it was to go back she had no breakthroughs.
Jade on the other had got one spell, before she left for the real world with us she connected to God and looked at one spell she was going to try and learn by her self. ''Weakening''. It was a spell that sent her negative energy into someone and makes them weaker and slower. She cast it on me one time to try it out....I hated it. Besides making me weaker, it made me feel sick to my stomach. On a up side I had her cast it on Tama one time as we were sparing, I was able to hit her because she did not expect it(I still lost though).
I was lucky enough to master two skills I saw through God(though they were low ones).
Dragon Eye's -
Rating 83.
The eye's of a Dragon can see through any illusion, surface and grants mana site. Require 1500 points and a C rank reward, and Lesser Dragon Genetic Mutation.
Fly -
Rating 90.
The wings of a Dragon allow you to sore through the air at high speeds. Require 2000 points and a C rank reward, and Greater Dragon Genetic Mutation.
They were easy to get, but hard to use. To get Dragon Eye's I channeled my draconic power into my eyes and there you go. Besides seen through any illusion, surface and mana site it also let me see in the dark, it was cool but the see through surface(X-ray) was tricky. When I tried to see through a wall I would see in it or is the bones of some one behind it, it was trick to use but I got to a point were I got it right 8/10 of the time.
Fly on the other had was a pain, like with Dragon Eye's I channeled my draconic power into my back and two BIG leathery wings. They looked a little like bat wings, they were about 9'1'' in height and started at my shoulder blades down to my hips. They were powerful, some storyed said the dragons fly with magic and the wings were to help steer. But not these, with these I would fly on power.
In till I get the spell from God I will not try to fly again, I could glide just fine but ever time I tried to fly I would launch myself into a wall or ceiling. But on a positive note after Tama finished training me something I did not see coming happened.
- SKILL MASTERY REWARD!
WITHIN 80% ACCURACY YOU HAVE EXECUTED THE FOLLOWING SKILL – ELAMENTAL MASTERY! ONCE YOU RETURN TO THE TERMINAL LOBBY YOU CAN EXCHANGE FOR THE COMPLETE ELAMENTAL MASTERY SKILL FOR 1/10 OF ITS POINT VALUE AND D RANK REWARD!
I never thought the skills Tama was trying to teach me was a skill I could get from God, so besides some basic training together I spent the last week with my parents. I made sure they know that I would be gone for up to two years maybe more before I could see them again. They were not happy about it but my dad excepted it and did his best to make my mom understand.
It was 6pm on the last day in the real world, in just five hours we will only have one hour to get to one of the return point's. My family decided that we would have a big diner together before me and the girls had to leave, it was in the middle of diner that something happened. One of the maids came over to my dad about a phone call, before my dad was could finish the call he was on the elevator doors opened and five cops came out.
Cop#1:''We have a warrant for arrest of Chris Yang, Sakura Yang, Jade Mill and a May.''
