After talking to the teacher, I had a much better understanding of the training that was imposed on me by the mistress, the teacher is really right when he said that without understanding the foundation of the training, I would have great difficulty completing the training.
The difference between knowing and not knowing is so great that even though I only heard the teacher's theoretical explanation I feel so excited to try out the method he explained that I ran to the training room where the elemental sources were waiting.
Even though I took a deep breath to calm down before opening the elemental source my thoughts were still very racing, I decided to follow the teacher's instructions step by step calmly. The first goal is to understand and feel the elemental energy of the elemental source, I could only use my eyes for that, but I intended to try the more common method which I usually skip or simply discard because it is not very efficient than simply seeing the elemental energy.
I decided to do this to find out if I have good gains this way, something I've noticed in the last few months is I haven't had as many opportunities to explore was my pure perception without trusting my eyes.
I feel that she has improved after my progress and I want to find out what effective she has outside my cup, normally I only use her to 'see' inside my body after using my eyes to see the parts of my body that are inside from my normal field of vision.
I inject my aura to open the exit of the cube, but this time I don't open it a little bit, I open it almost completely. Instead of a small vortex forming on top of the cube, a wind tornado covered both the box and a large area on top of the box, a chaotic wind vortex of about fifty centimeters in radius formed in front of me, it almost reached me.
I'm lucky the other fountains and the book on the table were far away or they would have been hit by the wind from the elemental fountain, I pull my shirt sleeve back so I don't have anything covering my hands or forearm, I want nothing covering it my skin when they are in contact with the wind element of the source.
I close my eyes and put a good part of my arms inside the vortex of wind, the first thing I feel my skin is being scratched by the wind that hits it, luckily for me the wind isn't strong enough to tear my skin, but it's enough for you to feel a slight sanding sensation or very small cuts on my skin.
My perception focuses on the elemental energy of the source that is touching my body, I recall the information the teacher told me earlier and try to identify the wind element that is concentrated in front of me.
The wind element that I usually see are energy flows in the form of long wires that break and unite together as they travel through the air, when touching an obstacle, they split when circling it and only unite again after going around the obstacle. It is a green thread that can be slow or fast, small or long, thin and has the ability to split and regroup.
But the wind element in front of me is different, I can feel that it is not formed by long strands but by small strands slightly thicker than the name, they look almost like small blades trying to cut my skin. They don't fall apart when hitting my arm, they keep their shape but they end up curving when going around my skin making their entire side come into contact with my skin.
This wind element isn't just uniting, but within moments more than one small blade lines up appearing to form a larger blade, but even then, they don't completely merge into one long, sharp green blade.
The elemental energy of the source is really different, even the wind storms you can analyze were not like that. They were fast and that made them tune and move more chaotically, but they were still very dead with the normal flow of wind that traveled through the air or was created by my elemental energy.
When I use my wind element it has much more of the characteristics of the normal wind flow than the elemental source, even when I use a wind element art to increase the slashing power of my weapons or when I use it to increase the piercing power of mine. arrows.
My wind element is a stream of air that is more concentrated than it thins when I try to form a blade on it as I run my sword or arrow. I accelerate the flow to make my blows stronger, but my elemental energy is still very different from the elemental energy of the source.
I'm very excited to learn how to mimic source elemental energy so I can find out what kind of effect it will have when I employ this form during combat, what kind of effect will it have on my arrows and blades? Have my movement arts changed a lot too? Will energy consumption increase or can it decrease?
I'm not even able to imitate the energy of the fountain, but I already feel that by studying it I will get stronger, now I understand why the mistress was so interested in the elemental fairy.
An elemental fairy has a much more complex elemental energy and is powerful than an elemental source, even if she can't absorb the elemental fairy directly just by studying her the mistress will be able to further improve her thunder element before the war starts.
After my euphoria of seeing a new form for my wind element came the hard part, imitating the wind element of the elemental source. I used one of my hands that is covered with the source element as a place to shape my elemental energy, I took all the aura out of one of my hands and put in a small amount of elemental energy.
Right now, my focus is on mimicking form and movement, so there's no reason to use a lot of elemental energy. Of course, shaping my energy into form didn't seem that difficult at first, but it turned out to be quite complicated after the initial success I had.
Breaking my energy into small parts, concentrating it is to finish leaving it in the forms of small blades came naturally at a very easy speed, because of that I thought this would be a little easy, but when repeating these same steps for more elemental energy and at the same time maintaining the energy form that had already been molded ended up pushing my concentration to the limit and resulted in all the elemental energy that was molding to break its form and become chaotic for a while.
But my energy ended up returning to normal in a short time, it seems like it can have side effects after losing control of elemental energy after distorting it into a different form.
My hand was sore for a while and I spent quite a bit of elemental energy, if I had filled my arm with the amount, I usually use during combat I would have ended up with several injuries after losing control of my energy this way.
Guess I'll have to be careful during training not to get hurt during it, when I turned my attention to the elemental energy in front of me, I used my eyes to see her. I want to find out if I can find out a few more details about her by looking at her directly.
As I expected it is exactly as I had felt before, it seems that my perception has improved a lot, but it is still far from what my eyes can see. Not only can I see her shape in more detail when I focus on her, I can see that a moving blade formed in the wind element of the source.
It's very similar to what I used before I made the flow of mine elemental energy more elaborate, with a small flow of energy in the small wind blade which makes it sharper than a stable blade.
Very interesting, but other than that I didn't even feel a pattern in the elemental energy of the source, maybe there are more characteristics that I'm missing but I can't feel them.
I concentrated the rest of my time on mimicking the wind element of the elemental source, but when I felt hungry, I realized it must be late. When leaving the room, I could see that it was very dark, the afternoon passed and I didn't even notice it because of my focus on training.
I feel like I made a lot of progress today, but now I feel like the cool part is over is from now until the moment I can imitate the source elemental anergy well will it be repetition of the same exercise to master this technique very well or would it be considered a type of art elementary?
I leave the building to eat and rest, tomorrow my day starts early because I feel like I don't have that much time before the mistress comes back. I don't even want to give her a reason to be annoyed with me, like not making great progress in the training she gave me.
