Training Arc - 2

(1 year later )

Training Ruthlessly and losing countless battles to Ottar, a year quickly passed away since Kai arrived in this world.

Kai has shown surprising talent in the previous year, He has made huge progress in controlling the blue flames, and increasing the resistance skill to rank B,

He is also very close to completing his personally created first form of Thunder Breathing style.

Meanwhile, his relationship with Ottar, Heith, and Freya grew deeper.

Kai treats Ottar as his Mentor and big brother, In the training session, they always have a spar with each other at the end of each day, Kai was even severely injured once and had to take rest for a week, due to the incident Ottar end up badly scolded by Freya. But the intensity of the spar was never reduced even after the incident.

Ottar always gives Kai valuable combat lessons and trains Kai in handling swords,

And due to the everyday injuries and healing. Kai made his first friend in this world, It was Heith Velvet, She is always nice to him and once even scolded Kai for sparing with Ottar,

He likes talking with her and spending his free time with her.

Whereas about Freya, Nothing change actually except from the fact that she seriously started caring about Kai, and now Kai can freely talk with her, But even now she treats him as a teddy bear in the bed,

Meanwhile, In the private training ground in Folkvangr, Kai was again facing Ottar.

On the training ground, Kai was standing opposite to Ottar, holding a sword in each hand, While Ottar was holding a broad sword and staring at Kai. Ottar recently started using one sword due to Kai's blue flames.

Kai quickly dashed towards Ottar and slashed diagonally at Ottar, Ottar easily blocked the attacks and swing his broad sword at Kai's neck.

*Clanggg*

Kai blocked the broad sword with both his Swords, even though he blocked the fatal blow, He was sent flying by Ottar's brute force.

In mid-air, Kai Swiftly sheathed his swords, faced his palm backward, He blast a pillar of blue flames, Which help Kai gain momentum in mid-air, and throw himself toward Ottar at a great speed.

Quickly unsheathing this sword from his waistbelt, Kai dashed toward Ottar from mid-air.

Meanwhile, Ottar reveals an evil smile as he started at Kai. Kai quickly understood what was going to happen as he tried changing direction, but due to his speed, he was unable to change the direction.

The next moment when Kai was at Ottar's attack range, moving sideways and Ottar slammed kai at the ground,

*Boom* with a loud sound, the slammed made a crater on the ground.

"Same mistake again Kai", sighed Ottar. In the recent spars, Kai was losing because even though he can float he can't change direction swiftly in mid-air.

" Heith, patch him up quickly", shouted Ottar

Heith rushed toward Kai and started casting healing spells.

"Can't you go Easy on him", Heith complained to Ottar.

"He told me to not go easy", replied Ottar as he stared at the unconscious Kai with a surprised expression and continued," Even though it's only been a month he started floating and now he is even able to cancel as a strong impact and speed up in mid-air, It's really surprising",

Hearing Ottar praise Kai, Heith glazed at the unconscious Kai and smiled at him.

"And he has also increased the battle time, today was the highest, it was 15 seconds". said Ottar," And It also took me two moves, Upon seeing the level difference, I am sure No level 1 adventurer can be compared to him and he will even give a hard time to level 2 adventurers",

"Then why don't Freya sama allow him to enter the dungeon", asked Heith as she was also confused.

"It's not Freya sama, it's me, I want to see how much he can grow without entering the dungeon", replied Ottar," And only 2 years left, it will be over soon, then you will see the true strength of the one who is sleeping".

Ottar can't help but feel excited, As Kai was only fighting him for 1 year so It may seem like Kai is weak, but deep down Ottar actually can't believe how strong Kai is at level 1 to face a level 6 adventurer head-on without fear.

"I will be going now", said Ottar as left the training ground.

After Ottar left, Heith pull out of the crater and laid him on the plan ground, As she started casting her healing spells.

...

After some time when Kai regained consciousness, He opened his eyes and sat up, he was greeted by the cute red hair girl as always. Heith was staring at Kai, she knew what he was thinking, Kai was thinking about training as always.

" It's already 6 pm, it's better if you go back", said Heith.

" How long was I unconscious", Kai remembered sparing with Ottar at noon.

"6 Hours", Heith replied with a teasing smile.

Kai sighed, as it's already time and he have to return to the babel tower, Kai quickly stood up and approached the door. But suddenly he stopped at he remembered something, He looked back at Heith and asked," What's today's time".

"15 seconds", smiled Heith.

Kai smiled at Heith and said," Thank you for today, And Good night, see you tomorrow",

The time increased by a whole 2 seconds, Kai thought as he happy walk out of the Folkvangr Mansion.

Kai still remembers his first fight with Ottar, Ottar only took one second to almost kill him But now he can survive for 15 seconds, it was a great achievement for him.

Rushing all his way to Babel tower, Kai saw many adventurers exiting the town, they probably returned from the dungeon, Kai envy them but he can't do anything, Ignoring the adventurers Kai quickly arrived at the top floor.

"I am back Freya sama", Kai said as he enter the room.

" Welcome home Kai", replied Freya who was sitting on the throne and looking out.

Kai quickly approached Freya and sat on her lap. He quickly made the cutest expression he could and asked, "Freya sama, can I enter the dungeon".

Freya shook her head in disagreement as she caress his hair and said, "Don't worry, I know you don't want to be behind the sword Princess, but tell can the sword princess fight a level 6 adventurer alone".

Recently Sword Princess became the fastest adventurer to reach level 2, she is the hot topic in Orario, Kai was a little annoyed as being the same age, he was stuck in the training while she was exploring the dungeon.

Kai shook his head and said," Anyway Freya sama should keep her words, if I can hurt Brother Ottar, you will let me explore the dungeon".

Kai didn't want to wait 3 years, He always asked Freya if he can enter and ended up rejected every time,

Seeing him sad every day Freya suggested a deal, that if Kai can hurt Ottar before the three years are completed, then She will let Kai enter the dungeon.

"Yes".Freya smiled and nodded as she knew it was an impossible deal.
