The Author's POV

Chapter 52

"Fuuuuuuu...."

Inside of a dimly lit bedroom, a young boy let out a long breath as he sat crossed-legged. A white glow pulsated around his body. Increasing and decreasing constantly.

Focusing my mind, I tried to feel the mana around me.

After having listened to Gilbert's lecture I managed to grasp the missing key to my roadblock.

Mana control.

I needed to have better control of my mana. More precisely, I needed to have better control of wind psyons.

Since the [Keiki style] required me to harness wind psyons, in a way that it coated around my sword so that it could propel it forward, I needed to have a better understanding and control of them.

By having better control of wind psyons, not only would I become more efficient, but I would also be able to increase the speed of my sword movement.

Evening my breathing, I focused entirely on my surroundings.

I slowly felt the mana circulating around me. The more I focused the more I felt like I was underneath the sea, surrounded by water. It felt boundless.

"fuuuuuu...."

Sucking in my breath, I channeled the mana around me into my body.

Slowly the white glow around me increased, extending out from my body.

Closing my eyes, I focused on grasping the concepts of wind.

What was wind?

Wind referred to the movement of gases from high pressure to low-pressure areas.

High pressure

Low pressure

Slowly the white glow around me brightened.

-Shuam!

After a couple of minutes, abruptly opening my eyes, I reached for the sword that sat next to me.

Standing up, I positioned myself into my sword stance and focused entirely on what was ahead of me.

The world around me disappeared and all that was left was an empty white world with me in the middle.

The second movement of the [Keiki style] : Horizon splitting slash

-Shuuuua!

Like a lightning bolt, a bright white light enveloped the room. It left as fast as it came. Instantaneous.

Opening my eyes, a satisfied smiled appeared on my face...though it didn't last long as a long horizontal scar appeared on the wall.

"...crap!"

Hurrying over to the wall that I had just slashed with my sword, I traced my finger along the long horizontal scar that I left on the wall. Feeling how deep it was I couldn't help but curse out loud.

There went a couple of thousand U.

Damm it.

Originally, I was supposed to go to the training grounds to practice, but because I needed to hide the fact that I practice a five star module, I was left with the only option of practicing in my room.

The commotion of my breakthrough would've just been too big.
