10 Chapter 10: New sword

The next day Bell woke up early, since the moment he discovered what magic he has, he started to train. Zeus told him that this week he has to focus on discover the limits of his magic, like max power input, range of the Distel, magic consumption, among others. Meanwhile, he will design his new training regime.

The week passed by, Zeus called Bell to have a training meeting. Bell was afraid, grandpa's training was hellish and always got worse with time. Zeus had a malevolous face and time on time he laughs as if he enjoy Bell's suffering.

Zeus: "Well, I don't think that you want to accomplish the requirements to receive the other grimoire in this village, so you will spend all your time practicing flirting, your new magic, and killing monsters... the first part of the magic training will consist in meditation. You need to understand what is lightning, his nature and the way its flow, if you achieve that, create lightning will be more natural to you, and your control over it will increase."

Bell nodded happily because meditation sounds relaxing.

Zeus: "Well.. I will throw you my own lightnings while you are meditating... in this way you will feel the difference between your own lightning nature and mine... the best result will be you integrating my lightning and used it as input power... Although I'm not sure if it's possible.."

Bell depressed instantly, he didn't expect anything and still got disappointed.

Zeus: "The next phase will integrate your magic into fights. You have to repeat the forest circuit and come back. You will only use your electric magic, you can't use weapons or argonaut. After that phase, you need to do the same as with argonaut, focus your enhancement on different body parts, then on your weapons."

Bell was happy again, the most painful part of the training will be only at the beginning.

Zeus: "Until now the training plan that I described was focused on things that you can and must master. The final part will be to experiment with your magic, as an example, you could try to reproduce the lightning sword that I created the other day... and remember the training is with phases but it like add not change.. so you start meditating, then fighting monsters and meditate, and so... you won't escape from my lightnings hahaha..."

Bell almost fainted, liters of sweat were running through his body. Zeus tried to calm him down told him that he won't increase the lightning power because he can be discovered, so the pain will not increase. The focus of the training is to feel lightning nature not to upgrade his mental resistance to magic damage.

And so a year passed, Bell is 11 years old and he grew up 5 cm. He spent almost half of the year meditating until he achieves to integrate part of the lightning of Zeus into him. The next day he started to meditate until half-day and then to kill monsters in the forest until evening. A few months later he could integrate the whole lightning, he understood clearly his lightning nature and how to invest her in his grandpa's lightning to absorb it. His control increased and his mind consumption decrease.

At this moment he already completes the monster's circuit and discovered that there are rare monsters hidden in the deeps of the forest. He tracked a sandworm near the caves of the mountains, a forest lizard in the darkest part of the woods, and a Basilisk in the center of it. And only of the last one, he just found one specimen, he couldn't track more of them, and it was the only prey that he didn't kill yet, his aura is powerful and his senses told him that it is not yet time to fight that monster

And so, his adventure through the forest consisted of track battle boars and silverbacks and kill them with his lightning magic. His enhancement made him faster than every other monster, and his punch although not deathly to them, do a lot of damage just as his Distel.

Through this training, he learning to throw lightnings like spears and as a bolt with his hands opened and in fist form. Besides, he learned to use his lightning to enhance his weapons and to increase his body defense through concentrating the electric aura in the impact zone, the damage he receives decreases, and his opponent will get an electric discharge.

At the current time, Bell went home to upgrade his status.

Bell wasn't happy with his improvement rate, he felt slow compared with the first time he went to the forest. Zeus tried to comfort him, he told Bell that the forest won't help him to level up forever, the most stronger monster is level two, and if another irregular appears could be level 3... a monster beyond that would be an ancient creature, but they are rare and dangerous for a solo adventurer, he didn't recommend him to fight one. So if he reaches level three before went to Orario, then it will be an absolutely successful training.

With determination to break the limits that his grandpa said, Bell wanted to be even stronger than a level three before leaving to Orario. And so, he decided to hunt the Basilisk and any other strong monster he finds.

Zeus: "Well according to your status and the training, it seems that you can start to create, if you can, your own kind of ways to express your magic... I think that a sword and a bow will be perfect for you, so try it"

Bell nodded as he started to meditate and summon lightning over him. His mind got used to meditate and now he didn't need to chant his magic to enhance his body or to throw lightning. Hour after hour, minute after minute, he didn't move and his mind was traveling around the flow of the lightnings around him.

The lightning started to concentrate over his open hand and then began to form a sword. Minutes passed and he only forms the grip when his spell got disturbed and his meditation over. Bell was sweating, it was really hard to replicate a sword, when he saw his grandpa doing it, it seemed so easy.

Bell spent every day training his sword meditation, after four months he already make a sword of the size of a dagger, and at this point, he decided to use the dagger to fight, maybe using the magic weapon would help him to understand better the process, and to slowly get used to the power of his half-finished construction.
