1st PoV
The next day, I woke up and like usual did my morning routine and had my breakfast.
Today I was planning to train with Iris.
So I walked to her house and knocked on her door. She opened her front door and said "Come inside."
I came in and this time properly saw her house. The house had a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a dining room and 2 bedrooms.
The house was designed with Purple and White paints and flowers.
She went to her backyard and I followed her. When we reached the backyard, I saw it had a huge space for training with various training equipment like a magi magic-resistant dart board which is designed for aiming.
She then said "Sit in a comfortable position and breath. That's the basic thing you have to do to unlock Chi. Chi is a manifestation of one's physical energy, breathing and aura. There are five gates or paths located from your head down to your stomach. When you unlock your mana and move the mana pool from your brain to your chest, you unlock those paths. This is the basic thing you have done. Am I right?".
I replied while sitting in a comfortable position "Yes. Now I want to learn a more advanced version of this technique."
She said, "First use this spell. Chi Aura". The next second a yellow aura appeared covering Iris's body. I then said "Chi Aura". The same yellow aura covered my body.
She then said "Now what you did in the dungeon is called Chi Focus. There are a bunch of variants of this technique like the Chi Focus Punch, Chi Focus Kick and many more. What you are going to learn is called Aura Manifestation. This is going to be the first step in doing this. First, you have to learn that your Aura is what your intent is. If you are using killing intent as your aura it will turn into a mix of red with black lightning coming out of it. If you are being cold then your aura will turn into a Dark Blue shade Yellow-coloured Aura is just the basic one. You have to learn to change your Aura. To do this, contain your aura and envelope your body into it. Then turn your aura slowly into the killing intent Aura by changing your passive intent to the intent you have when you want to kill someone. This is the easiest one to do. After that, you will learn from the others. So do what I just said. I will show you how to do this process once and then I will just monitor you and point out your mistakes".
I nodded as I watched her yellow aura. Suddenly I had goosebumps as I couldn't move easily. It felt like the second I moved I would be dead. I saw the dark yellow aura slowly turning into a blood-red one. The red Aura had black lightning slowly coming out of it as if it was generating it. The. The pressure suddenly disappeared as the Aura was gone.
Then she just sat and looked at me and said "So do what I have said earlier. If you have any questions, ask me.".
I nodded my head and tried changing my Aura. It took me a few minutes to control my Aura. Still, I couldn't change it.
I then remembered that I was really angry at Gashadokuro, the skeleton giant. I was so angry that I wanted to kill it. But I couldn't generate that Killing intent Aura back then. So I asked her this question and she replied "The reason is simple. Your killing intent is only focused on Gashadokuro, not your Aura.
I pondered her words and tried to figure out what they meant. I thought about it while trying to change my aura. Then it suddenly clicked into my mind. All I have to do is control my Killing intent and control it and point it towards my aura. It took me a few minutes but I finally got it. It was as red as Iris's Aura as mine was just very light red.
I tried this technique for a few hours and took a break to eat. Then I continued doing this. I saw that Iris didn't correct me but looked at me impressed. So I knew I was going on the right track.
When the sun went down, I made my aura red but it still couldn't compare to Iris's. Iris then said to me "You should take a break now. You have been training nonstop. Come let's eat dinner. We will continue tomorrow morning".
I nodded my head in agreement as I was too tired to speak. It was draining both my mental and physical energy as I use physical energy to produce aura and doing the same thing over and over again made me feel my mental energy drained.
I ate dinner in the evening and went to my house to sleep. The next day I woke up late as I was too tired to wake up. I still did my morning routine and had my brunch. I then went to Iris's house. The same thing happened yesterday as I trained and Iris monitored me. It took me a week to make my aura almost as red as Iris's.
I still trained hard every day until I could do better than her. You could say that was my goal. It took me 19 days to make my aura better than Iris's Killing Intent Aura. And this was the easiest one.
I then took a day off as I just laid in my bed and slept all day. My entire body was sore as if I made every cell have a full body workout.
I then talked with Noah and Lily about the recent missions they went on. They went to a Trap Dungeon and it took a day to complete it. They were really tired as they also took the same day off. We caught up, as the night fell. I had my dinner and slept.
