Clang
Opening the door i was presented with a empty room make of off some kind of white color metal.
The room however is 10 meter in length and a 7 meter wide. And because of it being underground the height of the room is reach 10 meter.
"Wow" I cant help but to say in admiration.
"And to think there are another five more rooms just like this" i said while thinking about the whole facility.
But a question rose. "Isn't it too spacious?" (But this thought soon changed)
But like alloys no ones hear to answer me.
-Sigh
A dreadful sigh escape form my mouth.
After dropping my thoughts i started looking around and spotted some training equipment's. But strangely there are no weapons.
Although the guild provide every member with a practice weapon, Its only for the members.
And because i am not a member but the Guild masters son, i had to bring a weapon of my own.
If i am the son of the guild master, i cant get any spacial treatment, The guild had some policies and we have to follow them, because of that My father asked me to bring my weapon along.
At first, i was confused of hearing the word weapon, but soon after i remember the Katana inside my room.
Looking at the long hilt of the weapon which was peaking out from my bag i walk to the corner of the room and place the bag there.
Because of those strange memories two days ago, i have a rough idea about what to do inside this room.
Although its a very powerful Technic, its still need hardwork and solid mind.
You have to know how and when you need to unleash your sword.
Like one of the vision where the user is standing inside a massive battlefield, with monsters all around him.
But the man stayed calm, he close his eyes and exhaled a short steam.
He stand there and wait for the enemy to close there distance.
And when the crowed of Monsters in his fifty meter radius, The man's eyes shot opened and the battlefield embrace by silence.
The monsters who ware attacking stopped midway, Some floated in the air for a second before a white light emitted from there various body parts for a short millisecond.
Soon after the organ less body parts of monsters started falling on the ground.
Like that various parts of hundred monsters got cut leaving there lifeless body on the ground.
Enma is a Sword art which can be used as a crowd control or an a method of distraction like another vision.
In the next seen the man is standing inside a vast wither land, In its vicinity only withered trees and canyons can be seen.
Looking at one of the tall canyon the man extend his right leg then retreat his left leg, and grabbed into his sword scabbard with his left hand.
Slowly moving his right hand and hovering over the hilt he again close his eyes and let out a breath before again shot opened his eyes.
Shiiing
With a sound of air cutting, the mans sword vanished form its scabbard and appeared on his right hand which has now moved to his right side and the sword is pointing at the sky.
At first its look like some fast movement but the next moment the canyon which the man was looking at, Started making noises.
Soon after a clear cut appeared on its side surface and the debris slides down from the canyon range.
Its was a bizarre view, And the attack is so powerful that it can even destroy half of a city in a instant.
remembering the view a cold shiver ran down form my spine.
Enma has a total of 9 Technic
1.Quick Slash;
2.Horizontal Slash;
3.Distance Slash;
4.Lance Perception ;
5.Enma-First-Chapter: Air Spliter;
6.Enma-Second-Chapter: World Spliter;
7.Enma-Third-Chapter: Sakai;
8.Enma-Forth-Chapter: Dimensional Slash;
9.Enma: Eternal Slash;
And after the fist first two Technic Ether needed.
Ether is a power source which can be used to create multiple elements attack.
After absorbing from the involvement it stored inside your body, which can be being out and used as strengthening your body, Creating element and many more.
In the memories there is a place where the Ether manual and a Transparent potion is stored inside a box which after consuming, make your body comfortable to Ether.
Ether is a very destructive power, and it a ordinary want to absorb it via normal method then their body will blast into pieces.
Like SP Ether can also be absorb, but if you don't meet the requirement then you just calling for your demise.
Every human in this world have something called core, which is a imaginary place where the SP is being stored, It started developing after their age of 14 and needed a year to form.
That's why every kid who has reach there age of 15 had to take the Talent test to see if their core is suitable for them to keep working on it.
And Ether is no exception, But its very different. A Soul core is located near the heart, and Ether users destroy that core and create a new one which is comfortable for their body.
And being Ether is your power source, come's with various buff's, Like you can become anything, A powerful Elemental Talent User, or a high physical power user.
And Because of its every element properties it can even make you fly.
And even mind control and telekinesis are possible with it.
Its a huge pack of power.
But there are some drawbacks like Ether core can only store a minimal amount of power at a time. Although the regeneration speed is too high, its still not enough to Do everything until you reach Rank: SS.
That's the minimal requirement of using powerful things like telekinesis or controlling gravity.
But even if you reach that level, you have to exceed the laws of Talents and reach Rank SSSS, which is just a mith and not even a single document has been found about it.
-Sigh
"I think i had a long way to go" I said. before adding. "Now lets stop thinking and start the training"
It's some basic exercise that i have watch on internet. In this world exercising is common Like 50 to hundred push ups, sit ups and running.
Despite the room being 10 miter etch direction, i have a hard time running, so i thought doing it outside, and started the push ups.
For what everyone said, i am doing this kind of training for almost a year now.
"Let's see what can i do"
During this time i found out that i can easily do the hundred mark, so I increase it to 150. When i was on it, i felt my body getting tired. But somehow i manage to do the 150 Mark, before i lay down on the ground panting.
"Wow i never thought that this body can do this much" I said with a rugged voice.
After taking a rest for 10 minutes i again start, but this time i started with sit ups. And this time my body being a little exhausted I could only do 119 before i fall on the ground panting.
A long period of time my body is finally able to move. And this time i decide to practice the Arts. Although Ether needed to perform this Art, its also can be done with the SP core.
Griping my katana on my hand i shivered it to take a better look at it. With a black scabbard and a Black grip with threads covered making a patter, at the same time comfy to hold. A glossy steal body, with some patters in the back side of the blade.
I could see my face in it. I was memorized by the beauty of the blade for a while.
Soon after i got out of my daze and tied to swing it around.
After satisfying myself i began to remember the Art. Within the art i only have two choices for now.
1.Quick Slash;
2.Horizontal Slash;
Although the first two can be done by Core, its also needs high training to achieve that level.
Take Quick slash for example, unleashing it can make a quick cut unseeing to eyes in the opponent's body and in the worse case it they can die.
And Horizontal Slash is something that can be used on multiple opponents with high speed.
To reach that speed, one have to work hard and make there mussel do it. But using Ether it can be done in ease. If a attack require wind, Ether can produce a fraction of it and the attack would active. That's why its compulsory to have Ether as your power source then Core. And mastering Ether it gives more privileges, like it's strengthen your body more than core and many more which will be unlocked with Ether Manual.
The fist page of the art manual says that you have to swing the sword and make your body adopted to it. It can be any type of movement, the only thing matters is adopted to the sword.
I Swing the sword for a while and started to adopted to the wait, its not that heavy in my opinion. The entire sword is wight almost 10-12 kg's.
After i finish swinging i started practicing the stance. Like in the memories i extend my right leg a bit and grip the scabbed on my left hand. After that i tried to unleash the sword with me right hand with all the speed i can handle at my current level.
Swing
With a swing the sword came out form the scabbard. For a moment the sword stuck on the scabbard but it still come out.
-sigh;
"To think i would try that without even knowing how to control my core" I said
But this kind of training is needed also, its make the user to unleash faster.
"But that would be for another day" I said after starting my Talent training.
Talent can be enhance through out meditation. You have to fully deepen yourself into a deep meditation and concentrate your focus to a single point where the Core should be.
When your found it you can try to expand the power through moving inside the body. Its take time and pure concentration.
But it has some flaws. For me i don't even know how to do it, i tried it before but failed.
And i assumed that the absorption also works like that.
"Should i asked Anna?... She do said that i can call her if i needed any help" I said.
Although i could have ask my parents, but they are busy this days, and only come home at the time of eating.
Looking at my phone which was beside my bag i pick it up and started rolling through the contacts.
Rolling through the contact i idled Anna's number.
Soon after she entered the room.
"What's the matter?" She asked while looking at me.
"Nothing much, i just cant seems to control my core"
She nodded with a thinking posture.
"Do you know the basics?"
"Yea, for what i know you have to concentrate and found the core and then you can move it through your body and tried to control it" I said nonchalantly.
"Exactly" she said with a nod.
"Now for starters sit on the ground while closing your eyes, then concentrate and make your mind calm"
I did what she said. After the talk yesterday, she and i are more likely become friends.
sitting while closing my eyes i started concentrating my mind, take a deep breath and started feel the power inside my body.
"Now, erase your unwanted thoughts"
'Erase unwanted thoughts?... Its gonna be a though one then i thought'
It take me quite a while to erase my thoughts, and when i did i started to feel a hidden sensation inside my body. It's moving like some small rocks inside a river stream.
It was a weird feeling and calming at the same time. I started thinking about controlling it, a while later my body is full of sweat, but i some how manage to gather some of those particles inside my body.
After i over exhausted myself my breathing got ragged. I quickly open my eyes feeling uncomfortable.
Hup Hup
While taking some heavy breath i stared in front of me. In the middle of the room Anna was Practicing her water manipulation. After Teaching me the steps she stayed in this room. for practice while look after me.
feeling my gaze she looked at me.
"Oh You are done"
I nodded with a tired face. 'It was more tiresome then i thought' i said inwardly.
After that we return home, While practicing it was already noon and lunch time. I also feeling my empty stomach is seeking for food.
After eating i fall on my bed. The training i did for those couple of hours mostly the Talent control, It tired my mind.
--
And like that Two months passed by, and i have somewhat learn the first step of Enma. It's not that fast or not that deadly but it can even kill a grade 1 beast if they are unguarded.
And now i want to secure the Ether Manual.
The location of the manual is not that far from here. The creator of the Enma Sword Technic Found the Ether Manual at a rundown ruins when he was adventuring one of the beast dens.
After finding its destructive power and creating the Enma Sword Technic he buried that Manual under the ground. Because if can cos the whole world to fall. Its a power that can even destroy anything if you used it.
The name of the sward master is not mentioned in the Enma Art manual but the man who created it come to know about the destructive power Enma and Ether, So he stopped creating the Last stance of Enma Stance No. 10.
But in this world Destruction is everywhere and human life is like a thin string of silk, which can be broken anytime. If anyone want to survive in this world then they need power. And a greater one at that.
And it's not like This is the only world that human lived. After Astrals come to this world they have given there most valuable technology to humans. 'Gate' Which connect this world to another.
Humans used those Gates to travel through world. By doing that they can reach out to another races through out the whole universe. And because of humans Unique powers called Talent they are more then enough to withstand the otherworldly environments.
"Yes all done" I said while rubbing my sleeves on my forehead to clean the sweat.
I am now looking at a backpack full of supplies. I have already asked my parent's and they agreed. Although the place where i am going is a picnic spot and don't have any thereat nearby, so they easily agreed of my statement.
I am planing to leave tomorrow and go to the next main city of the Humilia called Mandour.
"Its adventure time"
(Sorry guys the last sentence is only a add-on so don't mind it)
