The day after my duel with Torres the institute was overcome by a frenzy the result of the duel was not only spread throughout the institute but also spread in the circle of nobles' gossip and in the end spread throughout the city, but obviously the more it spread the more distorted it becomes, luckily, Ulric's name was lost, but that was not Ulric's knowledge as well as it did not affect it for now.
During the day at the academy he received looks as always the reason and the type of look changed now they were more of anger than curiosity they saw mainly those who lost money or think that Ulric's fighting style is an affront to the style and decorum of a duel that involves noble knights.
Ulric is going to his second class of the day in the advanced combat class, particularly I'm not at all excited to see Torres I think he can be a little sentimental about yesterday's duel if I'm lucky he won't be in class any more I doubt that this miracle happen .
When I leave in the morning I hope to avoid bumping into Professor Liv as I think she will scold me, but to my surprise I ended up bumping into Professor Frey and he praises me for my victory in the duel.
I was amazed at the professor's comment when I saw him walk away from me I reflected on why he was in a good mood, does he not like the nobles or is it about the 'honor of the nobles', there are many scenarios that I can invent, as well he doubts that he will find out more if he chooses one that I like, but he bet on my victory and with that he 'stole' the boring students' lunch money.
Finally, I checked the training ground.
I was welcomed by a mixture of different reactions the twins looked at me with curiosity and a competitive spirit, the fire wizard looked at me with contempt, since my fellow warriors are Raziel is having fun with my arrival he probably wants to see conflict between me and Torris , Harti had a neutral face without expectation or he has a great capacity for acting he must be a professional and last and most expected this Torris when I looked at him I went straight in his eyes that are not red, but I saw that the skin around your eyes this red I think the powder was very potent.
I stared at Torris expecting a reaction from him but he heard nothing but an awkward silence until Professor Balder arrived to teach his class.
"Good afternoon everyone is ready for but an advanced combat class?"
Noticing the palpable silence of the environment.
"Well, I don't care about student drama so let's start the class, so I'll give you a chance to insult and beat yourself up now before I start the class because if there are any childish fights during my class, I'm going to beat up the stupid student. "
"Let's go?"
Received by not even a reaction from the students, the teacher starts his class.
"Well."
"In the last class, most of you have already mastered the basic control of the elementary cover to improve this technique, only practice will not help because practicing it will only help to increase its duration to improve its attributes and even adding more properties to it will only be achieved by discovering the properties of your element the more you know your element the stronger your elementary cover will be and the more properties will be added to it. "
"To increase the properties of an elementary cloak there are two ways first and to add an additional element to the cloak for warriors with more than one element, this is very easy, but for warriors who were born with one element they need to look for a second element from external sources and this is very dangerous because if he loses control over his element and ends up absorbing the outer element , he will be poisoned. "
"Absorbing an element different from its affinity and a poison to the body and in the worst cases it can reach the nucleus and the stronger the foreign element, the greater the damage caused by it."
"Now the second way to increase the property of the elementary cover and discover a new property of its element and something very simple to understand, more extremely difficult to do."
"I'll give you an example of each method, I've already fought a warrior with only the element of fire, but he used a magical artifact that was created using the elements of fire and poison then in possession of the artifact that was a necklace of the element his fire gained the corrosive property of the poison. "
"For the second method, I will use as an example a warrior who has two elements, fire and earth, this war unites the two and creates a ripening of lava.
"Now it depends on your effort and creativity to improve the coating technique, so aside from going to the second technique that I will teach you, it can be considered an extension of the elemental coating that begins with the creation of an elemental coating on your weapons and the end you'll be able to expand your elemental lining from a cape to an aura. "
"Being able to create an elementary aura and the first step in mastering the true power that an elementary warrior must have."
"Now you must do the exercise to master the elemental coating on your weapons and after that comes the expansion of the elemental cover in an aura that is extremely complicated and difficult for you to perform so you must have patience."
With that I started to coat my sword and dagger with my elements one at a time later I will try to unite them .
With the lesson coming to an end, the teacher corrected some of the flaws I had when I coated my blades with my elements. One of them was that when using the wind element I should leave the elementary coating thinner on the blade than on the rest of the sword. will accelerate the flow of the element because by creating a wind flow that starts at the base of the blade and when it reaches the end of it the flow must run behind the sword where there is no blade until it reaches the base of the sword and then it will go to the base of the blade where this wind element will join with the wind element that is being inserted into the elemental coating this will strengthen the blade's power and decrease energy expenditure.
Ending the lesson I expected to be confronted by Torris but it just leaves the room as if they hear resentment at yesterday's duel.
Leaving the room leaving some disappointed colleagues behind, I head to the library to look for information about properties of my elements that can be used in the elementary coating technique, I went straight to level two of the library.
I found some texts that described some properties of my elements but I don't have any information on how to create or control those properties.
For the wind element avia and examples of adding effects to the elementary layer such as canceling the sound that your body makes or makes when walking, decreasing or increasing the resistance of the air in your body and the example of joining the wind element with the light element to distort your image I think that this should be used both to blend in with the environment and in duels to hinder the opponent's perception .
The fire element is much simpler to understand since the examples are basically the addition of destructive properties to fire such as poison, wind to intensify the heat and shade to create a sober fire that is more resistant and sticky to extinguish this type of flame and well complicated.
I intend to focus on using my wind element to intensify the heat of my fire element. I believe this is the method that suits me best.
I spend the rest of my time looking at the elementary art books of fire and wind I am looking for an offensive since I am already studying an art of movement of the wind element and before I get to a basic domain of all their postures I do not I'm going to start studying a new art of movement.
I found some fire arts that match me that are Flaming Fists and the Red Blade that consist of an art of unarmed fighting in case I find myself without weapons consisting of three fist movements and an art that can be executed by any type blade used with one or two hands like daggers, swords, sabers and other blades consists of concentrating and retaining heat in the blade until it turns red and an art that needs a good blade, it also comes with two signature movements that consist of release the heat stored in the blade in a very violent way.
Now that I have chosen two offensive arts of the fire element I will not take even one of the wind element, although I have seen some interesting ones, but I will already spend a lot of time mastering three elementary arts at the same time, but arts would only hinder me.
I finished my time in the library and went to an empty training ground to study the movements of my new elemental arts.
