Chapter 13 - Push-ups

Now that I notice Ivaar's aura is green while mine is yellow when I imagine it, is it still yellow when it comes out of my body? I have to open my eyes for once to check.

He seems to be holding on well, he should be able to pull off a push-up with his aura before long.

"Ivaar, you can stop now, you have successfully completed the first exercise of the day. I will revitalize you with my aura but you will still need to rest for a few minutes."

"Tell me Ivaar, what image do you have in mind when you want to manifest your aura?"

"I don't know, I think of an equation where my body is the constant and the aura is the unknown

giving the result I want."

"Well that's all very brainy, mine seems to be a bit gruff in comparison."

"Don't compare your images too much Mickael, I told you that your affinity or talent with the aura doesn't have that much bearing on the path you want to take but it is still representative of your way of thinking. So don't try to reproduce the same method as Ivaar because it probably won't fit and even if you did manage to shape an aura it would be much less powerful."

"It is time to resume training, you have managed to do a push-up with your aura, you have therefore managed to use your aura with your upper body. We are now going to do the same with the lower body, you are going to do squats until you do one using your aura."

This should be quicker than earlier as they still have the feeling of the first exercise in their heads.

10.30am :

"You've already completed the second exercise so we're going to move on to the third before we take a break for lunch. For this third exercise you'll have to do a burpee (a push-up and then a squat while standing up)."

"For this exercise we have to do the first and second exercises in a row, it shouldn't be too difficult."

"You're right, we're not going to struggle on this one Mickael."

11am:

After 30 minutes of unsuccessful attempts Nargomedov interrupts Mickael and Ivaar.

"What's the matter kids you can't do the first and second exercise in a row?"

"I don't understand, we managed to use the aura on the upper and then the lower body but both at the same time seems impossible."

"You're not far off the mark Mickael, it's not impossible but to achieve it you'll need either a greater amount of aura to apply a level 1 aura to your whole body because at your current level you're stuck with half your body at level 1. Or a better mastery of your aura in order to move from your upper to your lower body strengthened by your aura in the allotted time of the burpees. Do you want to stop?"

That old fart knew we wouldn't be able to pull this off from the start, what a bastard.

"No, I want to continue."

"I don't want to stop either."
