Chapter 59 - Heat.

Moving away from training camp I reflect on my enlightenment and I feel it is quite different from Professor Balder 's explanation .

I don't feel that it has much to do with a higher power, but rather if it ends up being a property of nature or a property of my own body. When I fought the teacher I focused on imitating his movements and this did not extend to just the movement of the my body as my aura also the elemental energy was in the background since the teacher was not using his.

I think by imitating the teacher's aura I may have forced my body to evolve as my level is much lower than the teacher's my enlightenment was a very long process compared to the enlightenment the teacher says he experienced maybe mine is more of an imitation of an illumination or simply being a different phenomenon .

But understanding what happened is important without hands-on testing and impossible to come up with a remotely right solution so i plan to try repeating the process for me it shouldn't be that hard using my eyes i can easily study the energy flow of my teachers if i can replicate the shape and intensity of a teacher's aura or elemental energy I can find out if I can repeat lighting phenomenon I can also try to imitate energy flow that I recorded in my memory of the red clay I saw during the auction.

Perhaps imitating nature will allow me to have the correct lighting as the teacher described, but it is better to go with a shut up so as not to call attention to nicando, it seems that I have already drawn too much attention if it had not happened, I would not have been watched by a member of the black lotus one. very large criminal organization.

I believe he must have been following me because of the Mountain Heart fragment maybe he felt his elemental energy I find it difficult for him to have the person responsible for burying him in the woods if that was the case he would never have allowed us to dig him up he would have set some trap or sensor near it.

If I am very lucky that I generally do not have this criminal, he was acting on his own initiative and did not spread the word about why he would watch over me. Maybe this matter will end with his death at most, it would be the institute to be blamed for his death, not me. .

That's a good result, but now that I'm no longer being followed I can finish doing my quests to raise my rank in the adventurers guild, use the money I earned to buy materials to forge my sword and dagger if left I invest in a bow and finally i have to train my elemental arts more with my last advance i will have to train much less time to master my arts before the test at the end of the year i have to improve my combat ability preferably i have to advance to the gray core before of the test start.

When I get to the training ground I usually use for training I start a fire.

This morning I had an idea to try to help me mimic the energy flow of red clay I will make a fire and when it is gathering the Fire element from the air I will try to make my dagger have the clay property to absorb it the fire element of the bonfire and hold it on the blade I want to see if I can do that and how much fire element I can store in it.

I sit down and close my eyes this can be weird since I will use my eyes to guide my elemental flow, but I feel that I can concentrate more easily with my eyes closed if I don't work properly I try with my eyes open.

First I feel the fire element that gathers in the fire and so I create the flow in my dagger I use as little Fire element as possible on it when I shape it I use all my concentration to mimic the clay flow in the smallest detail I hold this flow for 5 minutes to get used to its shape on my dagger.

I bring it closer to the flames and nothing happens I wait a few minutes but stay the same which is pretty disappointing so I'll try to intensify the exercise .

I place the tip of the dagger straight into the flame of the fire and the energy flow in my dagger pierces the elemental energy of the fire I can see that some of the Fire element of the fire is being pulled into the flow in the dagger.

It's a small amount of Fire element, but it's enough to know I can succeed .

I spent ten minutes with the dagger in the fire. This normally is more than enough to transfer the fire element to the blade of the dagger, but the body of the dagger is not saturated with the fire element as the flow of energy in the dagger should have an effect. greater to isolate the dagger than to absorb the Fire element of the bonfire .

Elemental energy is increasing in the flow around the dagger than within the dagger.

I had interesting results but different from what I expected I thought that by imitating the clay flow I could create an art to absorb the Fire element from outside and use it to strengthen mine, despite having successfully absorbed the amount of elemental energy and too small maybe if i shape the flow a little i can strengthen the absorption but i have no skill to try that if i try now i would have to be very lucky to come up with a good result i still dont know very well the properties of the fire element to stipulate how the flow must be very complicated.

But I succeeded in imitating the property of isolating the fire element as I plunged a dagger into fire, but it doesn't heat up too much maybe with this flux I can improve my defensive art against the fire element I have to see if I can unite this flux in my defensive art of the fire element and if I succeed I can strengthen my defense.

I also have to see how it performs against other elements more find a place with natural elements and my boring and, more easy to ask for help from Ingredi and Hilda with the help of them already have covered the most common elements.

But just to not waste the time I already spent with this experiment I stayed until the time I left the dagger dipped in the fire for an hour the energy of the flow strengthened a lot if I make an estimate I will say that the energy around the dagger is twenty percent stronger than when I put it on fire that's quite a lot, but the best news was that after leaving the dagger for forty minutes the Fire element flow into the dagger began to sustain its form alone the amount of concentration I use to maintain the The shape of the flow decreases over time so if this property continues perhaps the flow can stand alone that is a very interesting discovery .

This type of feature is not common in elementary arts but in runic arrangements may flow clay vermelhar can be used to create an arrangement runic or an art-type support with defensive characteristics and offensive of the element fire , or a mixture of both.

Although there aren't many places that are rich in the fire element an art that can help defend against the Fire element of nature and absorb it to strengthen your defense or attack would be an amazing art even if it takes a long time to work I'm not sure anymore i bet there must be fire element fighters or mages who explore these types of places to gather fire element material the supporting art created with the red clay energy flow will be extremely valuable and a pity i don't have the skill to create something so maybe if I had help from Professor Liv but this is very dangerous I am still too weak to protect myself and I do not have a powerful ally to protect me.

If I tried to ask a teacher for help now the art would be credited to him and not mine so I wouldn't earn anything even if that way I would have the institute's protection it would be more a prison for me than protection the best I can do and increase my control and familiarity with the red clay flow for a few years when I have more knowledge of the fire element and how to create an elementary art I can try to invent a stand-type art alone at most about the protection of the institute, but despite that this means that this knowledge can't help me much now it can still be worth a lot in the future i have to see if i can analyze more energy flows i have no way of knowing what could be useful , but i doubt it will harm me.

At most I waste my time studying energy flows.

I spent the rest of the day training my elemental arts and familiarizing myself with the red clay energy flow yet I think I can use it to improve my Fire element shield maybe use the mana flow to compress its fire element.

For some reason I feel more like a magician than a warrior when I try to customize my elemental arts maybe I'm being too blind not to have realized before that mastering elemental energy is important for both warriors and mages the path I should follow to get myself making it stronger should be based on how much I use my aura and elements better than others.
