Chapter 4
While I was busy being angry because my brother told me I cannot get stronger anymore. He was busy with calming me down.
"Sister, calm down for once would you? How can we talk if you aren't listening to me?"
"Shiro~!" Mother calls me.
"You named her? You shouldn't have named her." - Father
"Its fine to name her, see~? She's absorbing energy rather quickly." - Mother
"Shiro, was it? Stop absorbing energy right now or I'll force it to stop and I promise it'll hurt really badly." - Father
After having heard their conversation, I put down my Energy Absorption to 10% and the sorroundings came to a silent peace.
"You are, what, 7 years old and you're absorbing energy by now?" - Father
"Shiro~ come here. I'll teach you things like how to use the energy." - Mother
And they go trying to calm me down except for Dad.
"Let me tell you something about your mother, she can absorb energy twice as fast as a normal cultivator would so she got the upper hand once it came unto absorbing speed." - Father
"But one detrimental thing about it is that she cannot control it." - Father
Eh? Speechless, I tried to ask why but I didn't get an answer.
"You on the other hand..." - Father
"I told sister that she can't become stronger once she was named so she got mad at me I guess." - Brother
The sole reason why I was angry and made rise to such events.
"Well, anyways, try not to get too angry again. Else you'll end up like how fast my cultivations goes up." - Mother
So being angry will give my absorption speed a drastic rise. I wouldn't want that again.
After the event, everyone gone back to their daily lives, my brother training the way of the sword, my mother stitching, and my father working in the guild.
So right now I checked my stats and it was like this.
--- --- --- --- ---
Name : Shiro | Age : 7 | Race : Human
HP : 70
Energy : 100
Cultivation : Third Level - Knees
ATK : D
SPD : B
DEF : C
M. ATK : E
M. DEF : E
--- --- --- --- ---
My ATK and SPD went up! I guess it was concerned with my antics earlier but I think I can still improve my stats without the cultivation. In other words, training!
Question is, how can I improve my speed without needing the rise of cultivation.
Usually, it would be skills that improve speed. So let's try making passive skills that improve my speed. But first, read books on tricks to improve speed.
Doing my research, I found out that explosive power is needed for covering big distances quickly. Rolling the gravity from heel to toe will result in silent steps. Leaning forward will decrease the friction caused by the wind.
Let's try those tricks then.
So, first is the explosive power. Running position, check. Lean forward, check. Put 1 energy on the foot used to push. Let's try it then.
Crack, boom!
"Shucks! Too much power!"
How to stop?! 'Lean backward and put your other foot a little bit on the front.'
Crack crack crack crack.
Breathes out. That was a success I believe?
'Steps left to do before acquisition of skill : 99'
So 99 more steps huh?
"What are you doing sister? I saw you doing something crazy." - Brother
He knows I'm gonna ask why so he just continued on, "Moving fast from one place to another?"
"Isn't that something normal?" Me being clueless.
"Nah, it ain't normal sis. You see, once you go outside you see people walking with no noise when walking you know?" - Brother
"Like this then?" Roll the gravity from your heel to the toe while constantly putting a single point of energy per foot.
'Steps remaining : 99"
So it's a different skill but can still be acquired huh.
"Woah sis how?" - Brother
"Ask mother, she knows how because she can go outside. I only done it by chance, see?" And then I demonstrated what I done without the energy part.
"I see, well then I'll go ask mother! See ya!" - Brother
Well, that was fast? Why wouldn't he just stay here and train with the sword? Well nothing I could do about it. I'll just continue doing my stuff.
I haven't tried this yet but I should. Putting explosive power on my feet, leaning forward a bit, and stomping my feet quickly 10x while going forward like the wind.
BoBoBoBoBoBoBoBoBoBOOM SWISH!
"Weeeeeee~!" Enjoying the wind like this is so fun.
So fast! I laughed because of my experiments. I should continue like this.
So while enjoying that, I took my 100th step and...
'Passive Skill - Wind Step acquired'
