Well, maybe lightning fist was not the only thing he needed. There was a different technique that had his attention now, and all he had to do was awaken the lightning in his body to send more mana through his veins. Whatever that meant. And while that did seem a bit useful, it was classified as a intermediate rank spell, which was not quite something he was expecting. But of course, when did he make the choices when he was learning the spell's. Maybe that could be his career, making new spell's and learning awesome combinations that are actually difficult. And in doing so, he might leave off on the earth something that will last forever. There was a quote that he learned from his sensei. Something along the lines of, "The goal of life is not to live forever, but to make something that does." That is true, but that did not mean that it had to be a good thing either. It was not the most reliable quote was what he was saying since there were such things as dictators that want to destroy every village and make a new empire. Something about the perfect village or whatever. While Kreig was all for having peace and having a beautiful life, he did not believe that joining together was a good idea. Everyone was so different, and to have their views and beliefs clash with each other was going to do the opposite of what the jointing was designed to do in the first place. What did Kreig know though? Currently, he was just some random boy who wanted to be a Magic Knight, no more, no less. And so with that, he needed to learn the next new spell, that being a Lightning Release one.
According to his teacher, the name of it was Lightning Javelin. Well, when Kreig imagines a javelin, he imagines a weapon that can be thrown. And maybe this being a lightning one, it would be made of lightning. Maybe when it came in contact with something, a huge explosion of voltage would occur and shatter the body of the target. But no... It just enhanced the power and the speed of his body. That was pretty much it. It was not that Kreig was ungrateful for being taught a new technique, it was just him being disappointed. While he would have loved to learn lightning fist, he also did plan to go to the training grounds for it. And so regretfully, he told his teacher to cancel that until further notice... Which will be never? lightning fist was a popular spell, probably due to the high voltage that it had. And if the boy was going to learn something so dangerous, he was not going to try it on a human body. And so there were training dummies that were willing to take their place. As for today, maybe it could serve to be useful. It turns out, lightning fist requires one to move in a straight line only. And in doing so, he was going to need speed and power. Hm. Maybe this was more useful than he expected. Plus, who knows how much this boost might be able to help him?
And so he would walk with his hands behind his head and hum happily before going out towards the meadows once again, waiting for his teacher who seemed to be running late. Or something? For some reason, Kreig felt like he was being watched, and he would shift his eyes from side to side to see if there was anything around. Nope, not that h could see at least. a sudden blue blur would form in front of him, though, just for a quick moment before he then felt like something was trying to get him. All right then, I see how it is. Kreig would say to whoever it was before he would then place his grimoire in front of him, ready to trap the being if they go in front of him again. And eventually, it did, falling for the trap that had been set for it, only to reveal that is was his teacher. What a huge surprise. No one could have ever guessed that. Damn it, kid, why you are no fun!?!? The man would announce as he was frozen in place. the boy would let him go before placing his hands on his hips, and yet STILL was able to keep a calm smile on his face. So you used the Lightning Javelin to run around, but I see it is unable to get you out of a novice rank spell. I'm judging you right now, I suggest you prove me wrong quickly. A sly smile on his face as he looked back over to his teacher. A small silence before his smile would be matched by the adult. It seems like he knows something. All right, time for the boy to be impressed. I will not teach you things if I think of them to be useless. Lightning is not just fast, but it is powerful as well. For example, watch me break out of your paralysis. The man would explain before walking out, moving freely again. Despite Kreig holding the spell, he was still free to roam around and do whatever he felt like doing. Well, it WAS temporary, but it took a great amount of strength to get out of it as well. So did the lightning javelin help enhance the strength of a mage as well? If so, Kreig can see some use in it, since his physical strength was not too high currently. That will change soon, he knows it. And this might be the key in doing so.
So you get more strength and speed pretty much? A lot of it as well. But tell me, how long does it last? That was the real question. He just wanted to make sure that he was getting to best of it, so that way, he was not forced to use it during his final hour, but instead he can use it at any time. The teacher would just cross his arms and give the boy a toothy grin, oh man could he not wait for the answer that he was about to receive. For as long as ya feel. It gives you a good sense of power and security at the same time if you can use it right. So be careful, though, it costs some mana the longer you use it. You can cancel it at any time, but this is just a beautiful boost so that you are not completely out of options. So basically, this boost only had one weakness. It drains mana over time. But what if he had a huge amount of mana? Then he was pretty much all set, now wasn't he? And so with that, he would nod his head and agree with learning this. And if he just wanted to use it with lightning fist before cancelling it so that he did not exhaust too much of his energy, then he would gladly go for it.
You just need to channel your mana through your body evenly to carry out the flow. Make sure your body is balanced. Then once that occurs, you can release it all and have it take over your body for the time being. The teacher would explain, placing his hands in his pockets as his glow would fade away. Kreig would guess that he just simply ended the technique and wanted to save his mana. It seemed to spend enough so that it would be hard for someone to recover. And so Kreig would then focus on what he had been told. His eyes would close and allow the mana in his body to flow freely. A relaxed state of a little bit. Once all 64 points of mana were filled, he would try to let it swarm through his body, taking him and his lightning to allow the both of them to be enhanced heavily. With the new strength, he can then use the Paralysis technique on an opponent before he then would then use the lightning clone with enhanced stats to probably finish off the battle once and for all. Already Kreig could not wait. However, while he did try to embrace the mana, he somehow felt the urge to resist for some reason. Did he not trust his own abilities? Nah, it could not be. He felt himself trying to take it all in. Then... What could it be? What was stopping him from becoming the amazing Lightning Javelin?
And so his teacher would tilt his head to the side. Yeah, not quite too easy to do it, now you need to learn how to be mentally trusting. The man would explain before relaxing once again, and a blue aura would emit from his body. So easily, how does a Magic Knight do it? Kreig was so sure that he had a good supply of energy, but the man was able to surpass him in that field as well. Wow, how unfair his thinking was. But before Kreig would explain why he was doing everything right and that was was the spell, the adult would continue to speak. There is a little drop of doubt. With that much, you are able to lose it all. No chances. Do you not have the faith in your mana to let it consume your body for a bit? It all goes back up towards the mind. If you can't relax and let it work, it will not work. It obeys you until you open up to freedom. And your body was just naturally designed to resist. But now, you have to change that. Have a calm mind and don't let it scare you. And with those words hitting his ears, the boy was even more motivated to getting this done right. Not just to get the spell, but to overcome his mentality and shift his body accordingly, allowing him to embrace the mana that was trying to flow through him. It all linked back to him in the end, the way he thinks, the way he speaks, the way he acts. If even a single one of those things slipped, they all slipped, and nothing would come out as a result. For once, the adult had some advice that the boy was willing to take with absolute certainty.
I must not resist against my own energy, I must not. It will only help me. It can only help me unless it was manipulated by another spell. The boy would say, only to be stopped by his teacher. And things went back to pretty much normal after that. What are you doing!? You have no faith at all if you are stating things like that! the man would exclaim. Time for a screaming match, those were lots of fun. And so Kreig would engage. are you talking about? Tell me it is not true right now! I have seen some things where mana has malfunctioned. Especially in the medical field! And so the both of them would go back and forth. A lot of interesting topics did come up, like how one technique was able to get all of the body points of energy. And once all of them have been destroyed, the energy was unable to be recovered. At least, that was what Kreig brought up. And his teacher would then bring up the fact that it had nothing to do with their current lesson, a true statement as well. And so... What were they going to do next? Well, trying again was most certainly an option, and it was a new technique, so being lazy was not the best excuse to use either. Heck, they traveled a far distance just to make sure that they were able to train like this in the first place. And so with that, they would have the boy try again, hopefully able to do it this time. It would make their lives a lot easier if Kreig took the advice. But his was stubborn, a mostly negative trait, but it had a lot of positive upsides as well.
All right, all right, fine! I will do it! But it better work this time! The boy would respond, as if life really came that easy. It never did, but he was a young child. And he did mean the things he said. Normally. Except when he was pranking. But he wanted to feel a new rush of energy in his body, one that could make him stronger in battle, and so he would take this seriously rather than making a joke or game out of it. The one spell that he remembered where he needed to be calm was when he used the sensory spell release, allowing him to get rid of all other illusions by simply blocking them out, even for a second. Then the lightning spell would keep the illusions away from him for the rest of the time. While it did expose him to physical hits, sensory spell users normally did not use such a thing. If they had their illusions taken down, there was not quite too many other things that they could use. It was why Kreig wanted to learn it in the first place, so he had something to counter those stupid illusions with. And now he was going to have to have the same amount of calm that he had before. Except this time, he was going to actually have to keep it, rather than have a moment of peace. And to him, that was going to be an extreme task. However, it was all up in his head. He knew he could do it.
Relax. That was a one five letter word that he needed to do. The energy was already throughout his body. To help with this, he would take a gentle deep breath before releasing the air that was compressed in his lungs. And suddenly, he felt a little bit excited. his body was slowly being coated with a similar blue aura that his teacher had. The excitement, his body was trying to calm it down, but now the mana had control. And soon, he felt it, the new energy in his body. Like another wave of mana had been shot through his veins, and oh did it feel great. The boy would have the new aura. And a chuck of the mana had been taken away from him, which was fine for the moment. But now, he was going to engage in battle. The both of them were now fired up with the Javelin. And once the boy carried it out, he would then use a second spell, warning his teacher of what he was going to do. Now that there was no element of surprise, it was going to be harder. With this new technique however, he was able to carry out attacks even quicker than before. And in the end, there were still two of him, and only one of the teacher... Or so he thought. Nice job Kreig, but you are not going to get off easily like you did last time! The teacher would explain, his hands moving in the same way. Riiiiiight... The adult was the one who taught him the spell in the first place. It would probably not be a good idea to continue this. After all, he was the teacher who summoned three lightning clones. The boy was only able to summon a mere one, that was it.
And so the boy and his lightning clone would both lift their hands up to surrender. The both of them knew when they had been beaten. And so with that, they would just look back before the clone exploded. The teachers clones also exploded and left the boy and his teacher at peace. All right, all right. You got me, for now. It is a pretty cool technique though! I feel like I could run around the world and back! Whatever that meant. But it was ignored due to the fact that he had the cute card to play. Well, it was not to play, it was more of a passive ability. Oh well, it was time to return home anyways. But before that, the teacher would reach out his hand and place it on the boys shoulder. There is one more thing that I would like to learn from you though. Tell me Kreig... How do you read your notes damn it!? The man would ask, and only to meet up with a clone as the real one was already making a break for it. And who did not see that coming again? On the plus side, he was able to escape due to the new Lightning Javelin that had been placed. And his feet ran quite fast too. What to do with this new speed. Well, he could just run over towards the shops and take a bit of soup with him for free.
In the end though, he was beginning to build up his set of techniques. Lightning related ones because that was what he felt was the most powerful. Funny how wind out of all things was able to overpower it. To him, it made no sense. Was he stupid for thinking so? It did not matter. He was happy, he learned many things within just a few days now. What was coming up next? He would like to say lightning fist, but many of the lessons given were all so interesting. It did not seem to matter to him. And so the day would come to a close as he brought a stack of bowls to his house with Nea, so that the both of them could have a small feast for two. It was an amazing training session.
According to his teacher, the name of it was Lightning Javelin. Well, when Kreig imagines a javelin, he imagines a weapon that can be thrown. And maybe this being a lightning one, it would be made of lightning. Maybe when it came in contact with something, a huge explosion of voltage would occur and shatter the body of the target.
