I was surprised by the effect of an aura armor even though it can barely count as an aura armor, but the pyro part of this training is not the pain but the money I'll have to spend to repair my gloves. As I'm banned from going to the city, I'll have to go to the institute's blacksmith and he charges a lot to fix equipment he didn't make, but the biggest problem is that the equipment he sells is generic and expensive.
To be honest, his work is very sloppy, I don't understand why the institute keeps this blacksmith.
But back to my hands that are almost mangled, and when I say it almost it's because only my skin and some of the flesh on my hand are hurt. It looks like my hands were destroyed, but the wounds are superficial causing a lot of pain and little blood loss.
I'm really lucky that institute competent healers, with injuries like that in my past life I would probably lose a good deal of sensitivity and some mobility in my hands and have horrible scars, but my opponent is in no better shape than that. me. In reality the turtle is in its last moments of life, I dumped almost all the elemental energy I had after the fight with the hobgoblin, the lightning element is accumulating and destroying the turtle's core, but as it is hidden inside its shell I I can't figure out if she's been hurting as much when the hobgoblin did, not that that's very important information.
During this fight I found that by adding my aura to my radius it moved inside the turtle in a much faster and more direct way than the hobgoblin, it seems that my aura allowed the energy to be guided more easily, probably my intention. lasted or has more effect on the newly created radius element. This is another thing I just discovered during this fight that my wind and fire elements are much more receptive to my will than the lightning element that was just created, even though it is formed by my elemental energy.
It didn't take long for the turtle to die and be devoured by the fog, after that I expected to get one more message, but instead the fog surrounding me started coming towards me and after I was hit by it, I realized I was on the side of outside the matrix and in front of me there are two people.
"Hey idiot! I brought sister Celina to heal her wounds, I thought you were smarter. Why did you keep punching the turtle's spines?"
Before I could answer the master, the person I believe to be Sister Celina came forward and ripped off the distorted broken gloves that covered my hands. She was really unkind and I just felt even more pain as my injuries got worse, she is a violent sister.
But before I could recover, I was still suppressing a scream of agony when my hands were covered in green water, my hands were submerged in this liquid and the pain I felt lessened. Looks like this sister has the water and life element, a great combination for a healer.
While I was distracted by the healing I heard a very gentle voice, but in it there was a hint of annoyance.
"When I heard you had recruited a student, I thought it would be a good thing, but it sounds like you did it just to torture the boy. In his first training he already has his hands mutilated to the point that you had to call me to cure him."
"Don't be so melodramatic, he got hurt because he was stupid. In no time did I say that he had to keep punching the turtle, I thought he would simply pour his elemental energy into the turtle and direct it to her core, at most he would have the palm of his hand slightly pierced by the thorns."
"Sorry, I'm pretty sure you must have confused the boy on purpose, you should be hoping to do what he did so you can find out if he's able to withstand the pain of making these stupid things."
"You don't have proof and you should stop making up these rumors in front of my student. He can believe such nonsense."
"Evidences? So why am I here? Can you believe I'm going to think it's a coincidence that you call me to a meeting the day your student gets hurt in the training that's going on before the meeting? His scheme this time was very brazen, no one will believe that his student was hurt by his mistake."
"This is an exaggeration, there had to be a handful of people who would believe it was his mistake, not mine."
Ignoring my master's musings, Sister Celina turns to me and warns me of the risks of being a madwoman's student.
"Before you get crippled by training in this place you should leave, it's very dangerous to be her apprentice, there hasn't been anyone who has been able to be her apprentice for a long period of time. They all ran away in the end and you must do the same before you get really hurt."
"I'm fine, it's just that I got hurt because I overreacted a little bit, but thank you sister Celina. My hands are almost completely healed now."
"They're almost complete because I'm good at my craft, a normal healer would take a lot longer and expend a lot more energy than me. You're lucky this madwoman tricked me into healing her wounds, they were more serious than they looked av a lot of elemental wind energy hidden in the wounds, they cause a lot of trouble for you to recover."
This took me by surprise, I hadn't realized that the turtle's wind element was in my hands. I think I was too focused on my elemental energy and ended up neglecting my enemy's.
"I'm glad you guys are becoming friends because I'm going to need your help in his next workout, Celina. He'll start to learn how to use his lightning element inside his body, he'll probably get hurt a little."
Sister Celina's peaceful face turned into a frown as the headmistress told me about the next step in my training.
"Why should I keep healing your student, I doubt you'll pay me for the healing I'm already doing and you already want me to become your student's doctor?"
"Who says I won't pay? And the treatment was just for the next training, he'll probably get hurt when he tries to learn how to use the lightning element to straighten his cup. He wasn't born with it so you know he's going to be a little roasted."
"Are you kidding me? Because you're going to put him through this training that's very advanced for his level, using a lightning element to directly strengthen the body of a warrior who wasn't born with this element and it's necessary for him to temper his body with the element for a long time. time and be in the initial stage of the green core! You may be Grimalkin crazy, but this is too much! You will kill the boy!"
"Don't get so freaked out, I wouldn't kill my apprentice just because it would be fun, he's able to get past training, the only reason I want you there to heal him and for him to be able to train for a long time and master the basics, so you can train by yourself later. See, I'm being a very thoughtful teacher to my dear student."
"Attentive? You're basically asking me to help you torture your student into accomplishing a goal that's basically impossible for your current one. This type of strengthening is not something a gray-core fighter should train, let alone master the basics so that he can train alone without frying any part of his body."
"You are underestimating my student, Celina. He's very good at elemental control aria, I have full faith that he can learn to strengthen his body with the lightning element, so he won't even need help to master the elemental strengthening of his other elements."
I didn't feel like keeping silent anymore and interfered in their conversation, I'm really curious to know what exactly this elemental strengthening is, haven't I already learned that? Doesn't my involvement with my wind element count as body strengthening?"
"Can either of you explain to me why you are arguing so much? What is the difference between this body strengthening and my current use of my elements, increasing my speed with my wind element is no longer using my elemental energy to strengthen myself?"
"They are quite different, Ulric. What you use is basically cover yourself with your element and what I'm going to teach you is to use your element to strengthen your cup directly, your elemental energy will be used directly in your body, you'll inject it into your blood, bone, flesh and organs this is extremely violent for a body like yours which is not very strong yet."
"Look! You're saying yourself that his body is very frank, you want him to kill himself with this on-the-spot training."
"Don't meddle with my explanation, you nosy."
Then the two started to argue without minding my presence, after a while I wasn't even part of the discussion anymore. I think the two sees know too well to have so much trouble to discuss.
