Shu and Mia arrived at the feet of the mountain , they would training high in the mountain so they have to hike the remaining road .
The mountain is not that big but it's beautiful , along the way they saw many small animal and beautiful birds and flowers . After walking for five minutes they finally arrived near a flat clearing inside the mountain , although they could have arrived much fast if they used their powers because near the mountain feet many people work they had no choice but to walk like normal .
" I think this place is good enough , so let's start ."
Mia said to Shu and took a fighting stance .
" Then here I go . " Shu said .
He started to run towards her and throw a punch at her side , Mia easily dodged it and kicked him in the belly . Shu is staggered back a few steps and groan in pain .
" What ? is that all you've got ? are you thinking of going easy on me because I'm a girl ? then please don't , in the supernatural world you would not fight in a fancy compitition where's a referee will stop your opponent . It will be a death Match ' you kill or you die ' and you would encounter many females as enemies you can't go easy on them or you'll die , because they won't hesitate to kill you . " Mia seriously advised Shu , she knows Shu is a good fighter and he learned how to fight , so even without magic Shu can fight in close combat .
Shu also realised that indeed this could happen and he can't go easy on every woman because of their beautiful and leaving enemies behind is not a good thing , from his father's history and mother's war philosophy books Shu understand that fact .
" I'm sorry , I will fight seriously now . " Shu apologized and become series .
Mia nodded and shouted " Now bring it on.... "
This time Mia took the initiative to attack , she dashed towards Shu and tried to punch him in the face but Shu was ready and blocked her punch with his elbow and grabbed her by the arm and launched his knee straight at her guts Mia used her other hand to block his knee and kicked him on the ribs Shu hurriedly dodged and backed away like this they fought for a hour .
" let's stop with the warm ups and stat the real training . " Mia said she have thoroughly analysed Shu's fighting capabilities and made a good rigem .
" Now we'll fight while using mana to enhance our physical States , this will help you more in controlling mana and adapt to your increased strength . I'll fight with you using the same level of power as you so it will help you in realising your flaws quickly . Let's start . " Mia said and began to channel her mana through her body .
Shu just nodded and also channel's his mana inside his body .
Mia mand the first move , and instantly arrived in front of him and kicked him is the head , Shu retreats back and dashed at her side to punch her in the belly Mia dodged and come at his back and kick him the attack is too fast , Shu couldn't react he's hit by the kick and flew staight on the ground .
Like this Shu was beaten by Mia and countinue to train till he become tired .
In the evening they ended his training and returned to there home , Like this they trained for a whole week and Shu reached peak of copper body realm . Not only Shu improved in terms of rank but also his combat sens and fierceness of his attacks increased now he doesn't hesitate to hit Mia on her vitals although he never succeed it's improvement nonetheless . Everyday Mia would beat him till he can't walk anymore because of this his body improved very fast and his recovery took less time , Mia also prohibited him from practicing in mana so that he won't accidentally breakthrough .
After the weekend they changed their practice time at night after school . Everyday after school Shu would get beaten up by Mia and come home injured , like this another week passed and Shu finally broke through into the Silve body stage now he can resume his mana practice . Mia then suggested him to practice mana after the combat training so not only would he absorb mana faster but also recover quickly .
At nigh when Shu is going towards the mountain to train Scarlett said something .
' Shu now you can probably use the boosting ability for a short time to make your attacks stronger . ' Scarlett said , after that day when Shu found out that she lied to him they didn't talk much and Shu would only response when Scarlett asks him something , their relationship grow distant .
' How much increase in power would I get and how long can I use it ? ' Shu asked .
' With your stage of body and mana reserves you should be able to boost your power up to five times for about one minute . ' Scarlett answered.
Shu is surprised five times boost even for one minute is no joke , you should consider that one minute is a long time for a ranker because of there speed . Some people can even kill you in one minute .
' With this much boost I can probably defeat a early D rank . ' thinking about it Shu became very excited looks like he have hope of defeating Mia .
After Shu came at the training place Mia was already there waiting , seeing Shu coming with a happy smile Mia asked curiously " what happened why are you smiling happily ? "
" ohh I'm just happy because I think I can beat you now in the same stage I've improved a lot . " Shu said confidently still smiling .
" Really ? Why do you think so , is this a challenge ? " Mia asked seeing him confident .
" Yes I'm quite confident ." Shu replied .
" Then why don't we make a bet ? if I win you have to treat me ten icecreams , how about it ? " Mia made a offer to Shu .
" What wil I get if i win ? " Shu was also interested in the bet but he wanted to know his prize .
Mia smiled and brought her face closer to his ears and whispered " I'll do whatever you want ." and blow hot breath into his ears .
Shu's whole body treambled and he couldn't help but grin wickedly feeling very excited .
" Is it enough ? " Mia asked smiling.
" More then enough but don't go back on your words later if i defeat you . " Shu said seriously .
" humph ... I never do that . " seeing Shu still so confident Mia snorted and decided to not go easy on him .
" Then what are you waiting for let's get started . " Shu said . He couldn't wait to defeat her now .
