Chereads / Vermillion The Exterminator / Chapter 20 - Natural Energy

Chapter 20 - Natural Energy

The next morning Cleon was getting ready to get Grandfather's training.  They both had quite serious expressions.

"The first rule is as usual you are not allowed to use magic power, I will lock the mana flow in your body," Grandpa said while closing his eyes.

Grandfather's hand quickly pressed several points on Cleon's body.  Of course, this made Cleon quite surprised because his body immediately felt weak.

Cleon raised both hands and looked at his palms, he actually felt that the mana in his body stopped instantly.

"This will be very effective for training your body, you have a very large mana but with your current body it might not be able to withstand that burden."

Cleon seemed to nod and understand Grandpa's explanation.  He clenched his fists with an excited expression.

"Get ready!"

Grandfather was immediately in a position to attack, and so Cleon quickly understood the situation.

Grandfather gave the code for Cleon to come forward and attack him, without hesitation Cleon ran and threw his punch.  But Grandpa easily avoided Cleon's attacks, his movements were very fast.

Of course that surprised Cleon, he saw Grandpa beside him.  With a quick response Cleon launched a second attack, but this time it was the same.

Grandpa can dodge very easily, because not seeing Grandpa's movements makes Cleon alert and immediately moves away.

Feeling that he had enough distance from Grandfather, Cleon returned to his preparations.  But who would have thought that in an instant Grandfather was beside Cleon.

"Too fast," Cleon muttered when he realized that Grandfather was already beside him.  Cleon prepares to take his distance again, but Grandpa doesn't allow it.

This time Grandpa gave his attack, with just one light kick from Grandfather's palm, Cleon's body was blown far enough.

"Arghh shit."

Cleon held his stomach, he still remembered the taste of this punch the same as Ava's pick punch.  Cleon tried to stand up and thought that the technique Grandpa used was the same as Ava's yesterday.

"Looks like this isn't the first time you've felt a blow like this, Cleon," Grandpa said.

"Yes, I realize that this technique is the same as Ava's punch, but Grandpa's is much different and looks very easy to use. Ava's punch is fast, but there is still physical contact between Ava's hands and my body. Meanwhile, Grandpa's doesn't touch my body at all.  "

"Hahaaa.. it's great that you noticed quickly Cleon. Ava's punch is a basic technique, with a lot of practice and balance it will reach the same level as mine."

"Then how? It's not like that punch doesn't use mana, but it's definitely not normal."

"In terms of controlling where you are very good, this attack uses other energy that is in your body. Not only that which is in your body, you can collect that energy from the natural surroundings because this is natural energy."

"In other words, it's boundless energy you mean Grandpa?"

"Exactly. However, even though it's not limited it still has a downside. It takes time to accumulate that energy until it's usable."

"And in a real fight the enemy won't give us time to accumulate that energy."

"Hahaaaa... I like you Cleon, you are smart and quickly understand what I explain."

"Then what if that energy is combined with the mana I have?"

"Of course it will greatly save mana usage, that energy can be combined with the magic you have so it will definitely become much stronger."

"Wow!!!"

Cleon seemed even more excited after hearing Grandpa's explanation.  He was so impatient to get to grips with that energy.

"Okay, the first step is that you have to be able to feel the energy in your body and the area around it," Grandpa said.

"How to?"

"You have to concentrate on one point, then feel it slowly. I will give you a little energy so you can know what it feels like. Sit down and close your eyes, empty your mind and focus on one point."

Without being ordered twice, Cleon immediately sat up and closed his eyes.  He immediately tried to concentrate and clear his mind.

Grandfather stood beside Cleon while one of his hands was on Cleon's shoulder.  Grandfather slowly gave the energy so that Cleon could feel it.

Cleon started to feel something flowing into his body slowly, but still very faintly.  He tried to concentrate further, deepening the taste of the energy.

As the taste grew stronger, Cleon began to understand the taste of the energy a bit.  But suddenly Grandpa let go of his hand and instantly the energy disappeared.

"You've felt what energy feels like, now feel it in your own body. The more you concentrate it the quicker you will feel it."

Hearing Grandfather's words, Cleon returned to focusing on his own body.  He tried to understand the energy residing within his body.

**

Three hours had passed, Cleon began to slightly feel that energy was very small and weak.  That energy is also unstable because it only flashes for a moment and then disappears.

Cleon opened his eyes then shouted.  "I feel it!!"

Hearing Cleon's scream, Grandfather smiled faintly.

"Grandpa I feel it! It's amazing, even though it's so weak."

"Hahaaa.. that's only a small part, but it's good that you can find that energy in your own body."

Ava came out of the house carrying food and drinks, she seemed to give a pretty big smile towards Cleon.

"That small amount of energy is still not enough to counter my punches, Cleon," Ava said in a slightly mocking tone.

"Damn it, you'll see I will definitely repay you," Cleon replied with a slightly sullen expression.

"Okay Cleon, get some rest first. After this you have to fight harder," said Grandpa, interrupting the two of them arguing.

"Okay Grandpa!"

With a big smile, Cleon ran towards Ava and took a glass of drink.  Before he could hold the glass, Cleon's hand was pushed aside by Ava.

"Wash your hands first, you bastard!"

"Oh yes, I forgot. Hehee.."

Seeing that made Grandpa look quite happy with a big smile.

Grandpa himself didn't expect that Cleon could feel the energy in his body in such a short time.  In general, it can take 2 days, but within 3 hours Cleon already felt that energy.

This proves that Cleon really is the chosen one.  He has extraordinary talent and it is certain that one day he will make a big difference.
