Hero Of The World 14 Chapter 14: Result After One Year Training:

He attributed such progress to the oddity that is the s.p.a.ce, and he made a decision in his heart that he'll always train his magic in here.

Since he reached rank one, he decided to study the earth magic manual for an hour or so before resuming his warrior exercises.

He was going to start doing both meditations combined the next day, so that he can have more free time for other things.

He would first start drawing mana from the air, then let it pa.s.sively strengthen his body. While he concentrate on guiding another path of mana into his heart as it is much more dangerous. And so he would be doing both training for warriors and magicians.

And with his mind finally made up, he brought the earth manual and used it.

Once it turned into light particles and entered into his brain, he found the new knowledge in his mind and started reading it. As he had guessed already, magic was a manifestation of what your intent is.

If your intent is pure and unshakable you would be able to bend the element to do your bidding using the mana as an intermediary.

This however comes to many people as hard. Not because they have weak wills no, but because of the mana that is consumed is many times more than using a magic circle and a chant. And so the method to use almost all magic was by a magical circle.

Next it said, that you normally had to learn spells to be able to use magic, however that is only for the more powerful spells. Since he was just a beginner he can use magic with just a short chant.

Opting to try it, Ned memorized the short chant for an earthen wall about 1m wide and 2m tall. However he wouldn't say the whole chant.

"Earth Wall" Ned only said the key word of making the magic a success. And it worked. He could feel a part of his mana flow through his outstretched hand and into the air. After which it worked as an anchor to draw mana from the air, and then it turned into a brown earthen wall that is twice the size of what it said would be in the book.

He guessed the reason to be was how his mana combined with mana from the air before it started turning to earth element. It didn't say this would happen in the manual. But he guessed that it is his elemental body's doing.

He got up and went in front of the earth wall, got into a stance, and punched out. He was surprised as he felt that if he didn't use his all he wouldn't be able to destroy the wall. And that is using his gauntlets that are now giving medium increase to defense.

He guessed that it's a peak rank one spell.

After that he sat back again and continued reading the manual. As he didn't use much mana to use the spell he was still able to train more. Once again he tried a beginner spell that would launch an earthen spear from out of nowhere from the ground, it's key word was : Earth Spike.

He barely used two spells and he already felt more powerful. He wondered how strong he would become if he reached the upper ranks.

Along the hour he dedicated to using magic, he tried all those small spells that he can. And after that he started his body training.

.........

A couple months later, Ned could be seen sitting cross legged in the s.p.a.ce. However he was floating about 10cm from the ground. And it wasn't by using the s.p.a.ce. He was using the earth gravity magic he had got to lighten his weight and be able to float.

Don't underestimate his progress though, as even rank 7 magicians wouldn't be able to fly. The fact that a beginner magician could fly would cause people to die from envy.

Once he was done with his meditation, he opened his eyes. And one could see inside them excitement and Fighting spirit flaring up.

Ned had finished his training this morning. And today marked the first year Ned had spent in this new world. His excitement was due to his upcoming fight against the beast that had in the past destroyed the cave he was in.

He had already seen how it looks, using the new map function.

He had kept it on all the time, and one day while training, he spotted it, due to the sounds it made when it once again started to destroy the cave.

He first, got to know that the video projection can pa.s.s voice too. But second and the most important thing was the type of beast he saw. When he saw it, he actually wanted to avoid it as much as possible.

It was a brown bear with a crystal armor with protruding spikes on it's back and it's forelimbs. It had a malicious face that spoke of cruelty, and once he saw it he was almost scared to death. But then his determination to become the strongest won over his fear and so he made the bear his target to test his training result after he was done.

Now finished with his training he didn't feel like he would lose against the beast that wrecked his cave many times after he first saw it. Therefore his excitement was growing by the minute. His progress so far was monstrous. He had already reached rank three, in both magic and battle force. There existed those who followed the two paths, of being a warrior and magician, it was just that they were rare.

And even they would at least need two-year of training to reach from rank 1 to 3. But Ned did it in one year.

Sadly he didn't make an achievement breaking at them both.

He had mastered up until third rank spells in earth magic. Some of them he had created himself. He didn't have manuals for other elements, but with his elemental body he was able to master some of the fire spells. Even though he trained for months, mastering a spell was not easy and so he took a lot of time to master just two elements.

He had already gotten his wish after an achievement of creating a dagger skill when he was rank two.

[Achievement. Created a skill.

Reward:

-1000 Gold.

-Talent: Dagger mastery]

The skill was unnamed so he named it void slash. As it cut through the void to reach any target he desired in a certain range.

[Void slash: cut through s.p.a.ce and reach a target (range 20m)]

Once he got his dagger mastery his progress in fighting with daggers was much faster than before. He had already reached peak 'beginner' in it and also in katana mastery.

He also got to know that once one reach the peak of rank three warrior they would need to choose a path to either be, a swordsman, or a rogue depending on their mana attribute. But only human warriors were limited to these two paths.

As for Ned since he was compatible with all elements he could choose any path he wants. And he wanted to choose them all. Magician, swordsman, and rogue.

Now in a fight beginners would be easily dealt with by Ned. As for a rank 4 'expert', he could come to be evenly matched against them, either in speed or strength and he may even overpower them in a contest of magic.

As to why he could jump ranks to fight, it was because of his deadly training. He was much more stronger than a normal rank three 'beginner'.

And now he was ready to fight the beast that he guessed was also rank three.
