G. Chapter 40
Ahi's eyes widened. She understood what Hosa and her sister were trying to say. She nodded.
" Since you are now in the University, I don't think you can train that way anymore. Now you might have to rely on the VR world for healing magic. " Ahi said, trying to divert the topic.
" Well, I might." Hosa shrugged.
They arrived in front of a private training room.
" Let's enter." Ahi opened and entered the room.
The three of them entered the training room. Asi and Hosa moved to the side and sat down. Ahi stood at the centre and started practicing her magic spell.
A bot appeared in front of her. Without any motions it stood still. Ahi stood with a solemn expression in front of it. She raised her hand, imagined as the magic energy was rushing from her, and spoke "Severing Water Cage."
A cylindrical water cage formed around the bot . The sides of the water cage became thinner and thinner until it became the size of a centimetre.
A thin layer water cage appeared around the bot.
Under Ahi's control the water cage started to rotate at the same spot with pressure. The water cage rotated faster and faster, it appeared as a light white cylindrical cage to others.
Asi commanded the bot to move forward. The bot started to move forward without caring about the water cage in front of it. It stopped as it got closer to the rotating water cage.
Asi commanded the bot to pass its hand through the water cage.
The bot raised its hand and moved it into the water cage. As its hand touched the rotating water cage, cuts started to appear on the fingers, blood started to drip and mix with the water cage. The bot continued to move its hand into the water cage. Cuts continued to appear on its fingers and hand.
Ahi gritted her teeth and concentrated more on the speed of the rotation of the water cage. As the water cage started to move faster cuts on the hand of the bot became deeper.
*Splash*
Ahi lost control of the speed of the rotation and the water cage was disrupted. Water splashed on everyone. The spell was a failure.
Ahi tried the spell again. She managed to have a better control of the speed of the rotation but still it wasn't enough to maintain the severing water cage.
Ahi tried the spell again and again.
The cuts on the bot became deeper and deeper. She managed to cut off a part of the finger. But still it wasn't enough to sever a part of the finger instantly.
Ahi stomped her leg with the repeated failure of the spell.
The three of them used the restore option of the VR world and their drenched characters returned to normal and the training room is also no more wet. The bot disappeared and a new bot appeared in its place. Asi made the bot disappear. Ahi walked towards them with a disappointed face.
" Sister, that spell was good. You don't have to worry. You will improve faster." Asi tried to encourage her sister.
" Yeah, your spell was great for a first time practice. You don't have to be disappointed." Hosa said to Asi.
" Yes, sister. That's a sixth level spell. For a first try you have a good control over the spell." Ahi tried to lift her sister's spirit.
Ahi smiled gently and patted her sister's head. She looked at the both of them and said," Thanks for your words. I was disappointed because I did a good research on the spell before attempting to try it. It was a simple spell but still I failed to control it upto my expectations." She shook her head.
" It's a sixth level spell, even though you did sufficient research it's going to be hard to control the spell." Asi said to her.
" Yes. It's a sixth level spell. You need to have a great control on your soul energy to have a good control on sixth level spells. Moreover this is the VR world. You don't have soul energy here, you can only try to control the magic spell without it." Hosa said to her.
The VR world has managed to replicate magic energy to some extent. Users of the VR world have a pretty good experience with the magic energy of the VR world. Even if it can't be said to be perfect compared to the real world, they are satisfied. But still the VR world failed to replicate the soul energy.
They managed to improve the experience of magic energy by using many magic artifacts to complement the VR technology. Since they failed to accurately gauge the quantity of magic energy in a person's body, they gave the users infinite amounts of magic energy to use. For official competitions they check the amount of magic energy in a person's body with magic artifacts before the start of the match and the number is added into the controls.
But they failed to make any soul artifact compatible with the VR technology. The users couldn't experience soul energy in the VR world.
They could only make the user's mind directly connect to the magic spell to control it. But it can't be compared to the real soul energy.
But still the craze to the VR world never decreased. There users could practice their spells without any worries in the VR world. Later with some practice in the real world, people can use the spells with the same power in real life as in the VR world.
" Okay. So do you want to have some practice here?" Ahi asked Hosa. With his rank at two coppers Hosa can't buy a private training room. He can only use the public training room. And there won't be much equipment and services in the public training room compared to private training rooms.
" No. I am not in a mood to practice today." Hosa said to her with a smile.
" Do you want practice?" Ahi asked her sister.
Asi shook her head in response.
" Let's choose and play a game then." Ahi said to them.
Hosa nodded and agreed. He hasn't played any VR games for a long time. And it's much better playing with others. He can also improve his rank if possible.
Asi was also not against her sister's idea.
