NOVEL NEXT 21. training guide
On the weekend there are no classes in this world for the students of the academy which are on Saturday and Sunday, when it arrives, the students can go to their homes, or those who live in the dormitories of the academy can go for a walk with friends, with the girlfriend, with the lover... with whatever they are eating at that moment, but they can go out freely.
but the curfew is always at 10:30 pm.
On Saturday in the first week of school at the academy, a student in his uniform could be seen walking through the halls of the academy, unlike the other students who were in casual clothes, this student was on his way to the training ground.
Arriving at the private training ground for freshmen, I saw that the door was closed and they asked for student identification, I passed my id card through the reader and entered, and went towards my destination.
Apart from the arena, which is where competitions usually take place, if you go to the right along a straight path, it will take you to the training rooms that can be private for a fee or a permit.
and in another place, further away, are the public ones where anyone can go, but you can be observed by others, a disadvantage if you want to practice magic before a competition.
' Yes, it is a preference of the rich against the poor, right?
there were cases of students being observed in the training rooms, then scanned by some older second-year student usually, only to finally have their information sold to their opponent and have a disadvantage against him in a fight.
and next to the public training rooms is a gym for either awakened students or ordinary students who just want to do some basic exercise.
There were still 2 hours left to go to the director, so I went to the gym for some basic exercise, and upon arrival, I was amazed again.
on-site they have equipment for everyone... from shooting ranges to gravity rooms, a well-equipped place, there were even specialized instructors who could give you your diet.
I thought for a moment and deciding that I'll go warm up first, I went to the treadmill.
While Ren was on the treadmill, the others who were going to the said meeting with the director were also in private training rooms since each of them had more than enough money to pay for it.
n a room, there was a girl with long white hair along with 2 horns coming out of her head and she is wearing white leggings, surrounded by red flames that she herself created.
she was surrounded by flames because she was practicing a defensive spell, but there was no danger at this moment even though there is no instructor to guide her, since around her were vital signs readers and hoses ready in case of burns at her around.
one of the many benefits of private training rooms, they have many security measures in addition to the fact that the rooms are quite flexible in what the user needs.
The demon girl had her eyes closed and was in a meditation position trying to make a perfect sphere around her, but she still lacked a lot of control since what the narrator sees that it didn't look like a sphere, you just saw a lot of fire around her without any form, the control of this girl needed too much practice, but considering that she was able to surround herself with flames without burning herself yet, it shows that she has talent and a lot of magic ability.
an average magician couldn't produce even a quarter of all the sphere of fire that that girl is producing right now.
because?
simple.
Awakened students can legally use mana from the age of 15, which is when they come of age in this world, and they come to ALL to be able to practice the use of their magic.
This treaty to allow young people to use magic at the age of 15 was implemented more than 500 years ago to protect children from their own magic since an Awakened person usually awakens the use of mana at 10 years of age.
In the human world, it's rare for an incident to happen where a child can be harmed by her own magic since those who can use mana are usually nobles.
Back to the topic...
In another room there was a blonde girl with a bow aiming at a practice doll 100 meters away, a point glowed red and the girl had to hit that point, the more points she got, the faster and smaller those points appeared.
In another, there was a black-haired girl with a beautiful rapier in her hand and fighting with an animation of a genderless and faceless mannequin.
the dummy struggled and the more he struggled the harder and faster he turned.
but the narrator noticed at this moment that the girl seemed to give up because of her frustrated face, and she was right since moments later she left the rapier when she did not get the score she wanted and set up her room to train magic.
and in another room there was a girl with brown hair and a bob cut carrying a 2-handed dumbbell, the weight of said dumbbell was unknown to the author, but if the author knew, he would freeze when he saw that little body carrying something very heavy.
In the last room that has a name on the door, meaning that the training room is owned by the said student, a fight between 2 people was seen inside, a boy with black hair like his eyes, crossing swords with a girl with blonde hair and light blue eyes, with a ponytail showing her white neck, wearing leggings marking her trained figure and a gymnastics top.
Hitting the alarms on their phones, all of the aforementioned students stopped what they were doing, including Ren, and all headed to a special room that bore the name.
-DIRECTOR OF THE ACADEMY-
Upon entering the director's private and exclusive room, I saw all the other protagonists, I froze for a hundredth of a second, the first reason was that all the girls were in tops the color of their eyes as well as leggings different colors, but all those girls had beautiful figures that would put the models from their previous world out of a job immediately.
' Yes, the developers put a lot of effort into creating the protagonist's women...
Only Kiriko was in shorts and a polo shirt like me at this moment since I changed before coming here and the second reason was that next to Kiriko was his assistant and servant Kumiko and although she lost in status against the other girls, she had a beauty similar to theirs, it's not that it was love at first sight, only sad memories came to me about her story.
Unlike Kiriko, where even his fans said he was a eunuch for not getting turned on by such a beautiful sight of these women.
unfortunately for me... me being in the body of a teenager with hormones jumping to do the reproductive act... to avoid at least involuntary erections, and a possible annoyance because if the parents of these girls find out that I showed them an unpleasant image of these girls... I decided that I would use my master card, I used the memory of an image of my great-great-grandmother that my grandmother had in her closet to calm me down.
Remembering your great-great-grandmother wasn't bad, the bad thing is that she was in a bikini... that thing traumatized you for life.
remembering how her skin could cover her bikini... I calmed down and continued on my way to the location in front of the director along with the others.
The director was in a position to meditate when I got to Aiko's side because the other option is Kuroka's side which is an obvious no, the 5 of us were in front of the director, Naomi.
I took a look at the whole room for a while, this cube-shaped room was huge, maybe with space magic it could be created on this site...
Hiring a dwarf that applies space magic to an area is very expensive since space magic belongs to research, the dwarves created it at the beginning, its origin is unknown, but a high-level mana stone is necessary, which they get into monsters inside the dungeons.
This place was shaped like a cube, the white floor hard to the soft touch and soft against a hard impact, but in case of damage, it can repair itself.
This cube can take any stage the user wants, although all private rooms as far as I can remember are spacious, this one should be at least 5 times as spacious.
I kept thinking about when I retire at the end of all this, I'll go to the woods and take a tent with this kind of space, but the price discouraged me...
...
while ren was thinking about how many dragons she must hunt to get said tent or who she must steal in the future with his abilities where in his land, they were incredible.
as ren said before, the worked on many things when he was an agent, and robbing corrupt people was one of those things.
The technology of this world in the human realm was more or less on the same level as in his old world, the difference is that everything here is made with mana stones.
Unlike the body from his past, that body had a lot of limits where mana and artifacts did not exist...
How much will Ren Artega be able to do in this new world with the polished skills of another life and a new and improved body in this one?
while the author was racking his brain with the semi-capable coefficient of him thinking about what he could do... the director began to open her eyes.
Naomi opened her eyes, she wasn't really meditating, all the time before the boys arrived, she was in that position waiting and planning training for each of these boys, especially for Ren.
I use the ability of her created by her called [location in mana].
---
once again the author with the bad names, this narrator is getting tired. (ノ・∀・)ノ
(what is that, narrator?).
something new that I'm using, so people know what it's like to be a storyteller of yours.('～')
(so I will also use it from time to time) \(◦'⌣'◦)/
This author will tire me if he works with him for a long time ヾ (.￣ □ ￣) ﾂ
(you just carry on with the story, man)
How do you know that I am? (•ิ_•ิ)?
(I know you are a girl but for now, you will have the voice of an older male narrator, because I am your creator, and for now you will be just the narrator, in the late stage I will give you a role and bring another)
sad to have to go undercover for now ( ὸ.ό)
(can you continue at once? or did I get nerfed you in late?) (a reference to lol player)
calm author, no to the threats.
ugh, well let's continue with the narrative.
---
the ability is used to locate and know what the person is doing in real-time, it is like the demon king's divination ball, but it is not as accurate as his.
Naomi can only use said ability in the meditation position and it takes time to activate it, if she wants to follow mana signatures, it can be immediate depending on how familiar she is with that mana signature, but if she wants something more exact like mana presence in a person, where the mana travels or forms of movement uses that ability.
she was using her ability to keep an eye on the boys while they were training and after they came Naomi was planning the training menu for them, all this dedication is because of her love for the students, and because she knows it is necessary for the future.
Opening her eyes and seeing the 6 promising students, Naomi smiled and said.
- Welcome to my training section guys, I invited you because I see talent in each of you and I want to train you to be great heroes (note, hero, is just a title), while you were training, I observed you and now I have an idea of how to train each of you, without further ado, I'll start with you kuroka on the right, please follow me to see your first training practice.
As I watched Kuroka follow the principal, my eyes drifted to that incredible big ass-
'What the hell is this murderous intent next to me?
Turning around, I could see Aiko looking at me with a smile, but her eyes weren't smiling.
'fear...
I just did what any man would do, I made an innocent face and asked her.
" something happens?
-nothing
" I see
and I looked again at where the 2 women were headed, as I said before, the space is very large, in the wall of the cube a passage was opened that led to I don't know where.
after 15 minutes, kiriko left for another passage, and in another 15 minutes, it was amerie.
when it was aiko's turn, she left with the director moving her hips in front of me, and I felt tested, I used everything of my being to avoid looking further down her horns, in case she sent me another death glare and The director noticed that I looked at one of her daughters-in-law and killed myself without being able to do anything but regret the sentence that would come true "I would die for that ass."
Ren didn't see that when Aiko and the principal passed the passage blocking ren's gaze, Aiko stopped swaying her hips and had a disappointed face in her gaze with some strange thoughts in her mind.
' I did it so wrong the first time? am I so bad at this?
The director knowing everything that happened had a mischievous smile on her lips.
When the headmistress came for ren, the two gave a nod and entered through a different passage.
Entering a spacious room, the principal turned to Ren.
- very well ren, now that we are alone, you can stop looking at my butt and get into action.
Naomi said somewhat flirtatiously making Ren want to frown at teasing words that would confuse and charm any other guy.
"Please, director, don't talk like that, because those words could be misinterpreted, and I was looking your back.
Naomi upon hearing that ended up making a flirtatious smile and told me.
- you're sure? all the time you only looked at my back?
'damn, he realized, I thought I covered it up well...
'fucking eager teen body...
I could only apologize for what I inadvertently did, although in my old world, it's usually not that abnormal for someone to see a woman's butt…here against a woman of her status, even looking at her the wrong way should be an insult.
" I apologize
Naomi waved her hand as if she didn't care, but Ren doesn't know that if anyone had dared to do what Ren did for an instant because of her annoying adolescent pheromones from a young man's body… it would be considered a gross insult to have looked. even for an instant the princess of the empire incorrectly.
- Don't worry, at least you're embarrassed and you regret it, but hey, let's move on to the important thing.
Saying that the two of us sat on the padded floor, in the middle of the room, and discussed how to train an attribute lost more than 500 years ago.
"I have a couple of ideas, but I don't know how to apply them...
- I hear you.
"Until today, I felt my thinking speed quicken, it's obvious why my brain uses electricity for that, even though I didn't actively practice mana, I did feel that I was recovering from mental exhaustion faster than before, and my reaction speed rise and feel like my mana core is connected to my nervous system.
I thought for a moment about my next answer, early in the morning I tried to feel my mana core which should be in the abdomen like everyone else, but strangely I felt it a little behind the location that should be normal, I felt it a little closer to my spine, I concluded that it must be normal because it is a rare attribute, besides that there is not much information about this attribute anyway, I told Naomi all that and my conclusion.
"What I mean is that since my mana core is close to my nervous system...it somehow gave me a bit of an improvement regarding my reaction speed.
- um, thanks for your report, also thinking about your training, I decided that we will start with this.
and from her Naomi ring, a circuit appeared, a wire that connected to a light bulb all within a simple wooden board, it looked like a child's school project.
"So you want me to turn on the light?
- It would be more accurate to say that an image of a light tone will arrive on your phone and you will come to a private room to practice until you achieve that light intensity.
"My phone is like this, the image will be noticeable
I said as I took out my keypad phone.
Naomi looked at the phone and couldn't help but sigh.
- ha... those phones are no longer manufactured nowadays, I wanted to send you an image of me holding a paper with the color in which you will shine the spotlight to motivate you, but I guess I'll just send the image of the color for now, As I already left others in jobs that will take time, I'll be with you watching how you're doing.
' Could this woman stop making jokes? imagining that makes the memory of my great-great-grandmother lose intensity.
"As you like, director, then I'll get going with the practice.
when I grabbed the end of the cable, I passed him mana remembering how I did it before in the warehouse as if I was trying to guide him... but it seems that I need more practice, so I concentrated on my task and in a few minutes I was able to have the clear tonality full of the image that Naomi showed me and make it stay that way a little longer.
As ren ran electricity through the wire, Naomi was a bit surprised but nodded a moment later, mana though very flexible for users, it was hard to get good control, let alone an understanding of how to use it, but ren did it in no time. The first time, he was able to send mana through the cable and make the bulb shine without it breaking, and make it shine brightly, after 2 minutes of keeping the brightness constant, he turned to look at the director.
-Okay, I guess we can increase the difficulty.
With that, Naomi pulled out a similarly shaped wooden board, but this time there was a wire and it ended in 2 light bulbs.
Knowing that he would need a long time before connecting with a human brain, Ren set off.
after 2 hours Naomi wanted to entertain herself with something and she thought of a naughty idea.
- Hey Ren, while you're at it, what do you think of Kuroka?
I was connecting a cable with 4 light bulbs, and all 4 of them broke due to such an unexpected and out-of-place question, and the director giggled and handed me another similar wooden board, I just went back to my work and answered without looking back at her.
"Could you repeat her question?
-I said, what do you think of Kuroka?
" ...she is pretty
- without mincing words, huh? So that's why you proposed to her a few days ago?
"Don't remind me of that mistake, please.
- Are you saying that declaring yourself is a mistake? why? If you like someone, do you declare yourself?
"...in certain situations, that is wrong.
- and could you tell me exactly how expressing your love is a mistake?
' umm, what anecdote should I base it on?...
"Well, let's see... in the case of best friends, it's a clear example of not doing it.
-could you explain it?
"For example, if 2 opposite-sex best friends, a boy, and a girl, let's say...the boy falls in love, but he knows the girl might not be interested in him, what should he do?"
- Well, it's simple, declare yourself, and if she says no, continue to be friends.
I could only stare at her with a blank expression
-what?
"Do you really think so?
-actually, yes
"Well, the director is wrong.
- where?
"Let's say they like each other, which usually doesn't happen because girls tend to pick the guy they might not like to be their best friend, unlike a man who usually picks the girl he likes to be his best friend. , well... the case in which they both like each other, that couple will be good because they know each other a lot, they both know many of the other's secrets and mistakes, but they still love each other, then there is no problem and this type of relationship usually last a long time.
- of course.
"But we are talking about the case that it is not like that, which is this example, the girl does not feel the same way about him, the boy can accept her rejection and continue being a friend of hers, but it will never be the same since the boy He expressed himself, the girl will no longer think of him as a friend, but as a suitor, and telling your suitor about other boys can hurt him, she knows, that's why she will stop opening up so much to that boy, and that friendship that could have lasted years will crumble in a matter of weeks, it is something inevitable...
"Now let's say that the girl decides that in order not to hurt her friend, she decides to lie to him and tell him that in the future they could start a relationship, that friend mentality will also change, it will no longer be a desire to be by her side as a friend, he will want to be her lover and for that the boy will use what he knows about her, to prepare the relationship, the boy can make an effort in gifts, break his back in gifts that she will love, use his love as a motivator and make all for her but...
" but what?
"The girl is not forced to accept you, even if she does it out of pity, it will never be love, love does not grow from the tree, if love is not born from her knowing everything about you, it will be difficult for her to do so later...
"it will be in vain
"everything will be in vain
"All that effort in gifts will be in vain, thinking that even so, you know everything about her.
" YOU ARE WRONG, DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW? BUT NO, SHE LIED TO YOU.
"SHE USED YOU.
" I MANIPULATE YOU INTO GETTING THINGS FROM YOU LIKE YOU ARE HIS DAMN ATM.
"BUT IT'S NOT HER FAULT.
"THE BLAME IS YOURS FOR BEING STUPID, FOR WASTING ALMOST A YEAR OF YOUR LIFE, YOUR MENTAL HEALTH COMFORTING HER, INCREASING HER PRIDE FOR AN IDIOT WHO REJECTED HER IN THE PAST, SHE USING YOU TO GROW HER PRIDE BY HAVING YOU AS HER IDIOT, AND YOU, LIKE AN IMBECILE SPENDING ALL YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON HER IN TRYING TO MAKE HER HAPPY.
"FOR WHAT?
"WHY DID YOU MAKE ALL THAT EFFORT?
"BY A PROMISE?
"SO THAT THEN YOU FIND HER IN HER ROOM WITH ANOTHER BASTARD CHEAT-
-ren, ren, WAKE UP REN.
Coming back to reality, look at the 4 broken bulbs, there were still sparks there for so much mana that I put them.
'Damn, another attack, that's a bummer.
"Excuse my fit of anger, professor.
- Excuse me, I shouldn't have asked that personal question.
"Don't worry, going back to the question, I think that love is like a bet, either they can accept you and be victorious, or they can reject you and lose everything.
Have you been rejected before?
"Well yes, 2 days ago.
- I did not mean that.
"And what about you, Director? Speaking of this, did you ever fall in love?
Naomi was taken aback for a moment at the change in pace, but how she answered me anyway.
- Well... the truth is that I thought I was years ago, I thought I fell in love with my fiancé at that moment when I was young, but it was all my sense of responsibility that I confused with love, after the attack on my sister... I realized that that was not love, it was an obligation, but I deceived my heart by saying that what I felt for the bastard was love.
-When I confronted him demanding answers, THE BASTARD BEGAN TO SPIT OUT SENSELESS NONSENSE! SO-
-ah-
and Naomi covered her mouth.
-...
"...
"Looks like I'm not the only one getting fits huh?
- hahahahaha, it seems not, ren, let's change the subject while you continue with the 4th exercise, now you will not only have to turn them on in different tones, but now it will be with light patterns, in different tones, I will put 4 different ones in front of the spotlight and you will level and you will change it every 10 seconds.
- Well... then, why did you save Miss Aiko?
' Is it me or does this woman look like a toxic girlfriend wanting to ask leading questions to find a mistake? Damn, I'm full of drama in my mind...
"what do you mean?
- Let me explain, why did you agree to sign the mana deal with Aiko, if you failed to find Bianca, you were going to die, you know? that contract was of the highest quality.
"Well, it's simple, getting the favor of a national leader like Abadon, that's all.
- but you fought with the murderer, even though that guy was a disposable pawn, you fought against someone who surpassed your rank, and the deal ended with finding Bianca, why did you risk your life like that and fight?
I thought for a moment about the answer I would give Naomi.
'I can't say that I didn't want to have to deal with an Aiko alter version in the middle stages of the story right?
"...you would leave a girl in a moment of despair alone?
Naomi without hesitation answered me.
- No, as director and protector of humanity, it would be my duty to protect that girl.
Unlike Naomi, I didn't have something as profound as that, I could only laugh at being so simple.
"Haha, I don't have such a profound thing as protector of humanity, it's just... if one day I had a sister, and I abandoned her like that, I would throw myself off a bridge for such stupidity.
"When I saw Aiko's look at that moment when the assassin was approaching... I didn't think about the pros or cons, I just thought about that moment.
"Can anyone see such despair in an innocent girl and not help?
"At that time I didn't see someone of another race, I didn't see an opportunity for money, I saw a girl being thrown into hell and I couldn't let that happen even if it cost me an arm, as simple as that.
Looking up, I saw Naomi's sweet smile on me like that time.
- you have the qualities of a hero, ren.
I almost sneered at such nonsense.
"You are wrong director, I do not think that because we are of a different race we have to treat them differently, we are flesh and blood just like the others and we live under the belief of the same goddess.
"and at that moment I was able to help and I did, that's not why I'm a hero, heroes are those who save their people thinking about the common good, if, for the common good, I should kill or sacrifice a person dear or close to me, then let the common good rot.
- are you telling me that Aiko is a dear person of yours?
"It was a sense of brotherhood to help someone in need nearby and where you had the chance to help, and my grandfather's rule was, 'Always return kindness to whoever gave it to you, no matter who it was.'
' and that's what Aiko did, if it was another person, having status and power, another person could even force me like a servant to save his mother, but Aiko never lost her gentleness at all times, I can only say that Aiko He was one of the nicest people I've met so far...
"A long time ago someone helped me when I was down and I just... I just returned the kindness he would have wanted.
- And why don't you return the kindness to the one who gave it to you?
"Because he died a long time ago, director.
Naomi's curious look changed to one of regret as she told me.
- I'm sorry.
' In the game, it was said that Naomi only showed expressions to her nephew, is it a hidden configuration to show so many expressions to someone with a sad story?... I don't think so, maybe it's just because she wants me to cure her acquaintance. .. That must be.
"Haha, don't worry, he left happy and with a smile.
- I'm glad to hear that.
And so we stayed in silence while I trained and Naomi just watched my training while she gave me instructions from time to time on how to guide the mana.
arriving at noon.
- Hey Ren, don't you want to eat with us?
Naomi asked as she stretched.
while I was feeling a little dizzy from having almost no mana in my system, I answered him immediately.
"I think not director, I don't have the etiquette to eat with such refined people.
- don't worry about that.
"Being a student and a guest of yours if I went with you, I wouldn't want to embarrass you for a student with no manners like me.
- well, but if you want, let me know and we'll all eat together.
' go to eat with children with that big status? I know they are children, but I really don't think a tremendous atmosphere is necessary, it's better to go home and have dinner in peace.
When we left we saw the other boys there waiting, apparently, they finished their respective training sessions in their spaces.
And when I was about to say goodbye and go home to sleep peacefully because of the fatigue I'm dealing with right now... Kumiko, Kiriko's closest servant, and assistant approached me and told me.
- Ren Artega, I challenge you to a simulated battle now.
"???
