Time Skips and training #8

....

6 months after my first attempt at original magic, apparently I was blessed by luck.

The following days of practicing it was a mix of failed attempts with only an accumulation of 45 percent of success rate. Of course the more I practice, the success rate increases, along with its power and my mana capacity.

Not only that, between these 6 months, I had also trained my body along the way, slowly keeping up with the famous One Punch Man routine.

..

I look at the mirror, seeing my lean and muscular body, my dark brown hair slightly grew longer than before.Taking my time to indulge my well-defined muscles with different olympic poses, I smiled with satisfaction before heading to bath. The façade that I put up had been long gone, a long with my weak scrawny body. "I'm gonna surpass everyone!" I thought inwardly while clenching my fist.

..

Today I have decided to ask Maya to have a light sparring to improve my defense if someone were to close the gap between us and fight close range. Since I am most likely going to be a mage and Chunchunmaru can also enlarge, expand, and the other way around. I thought it would be useful to adapt by constantly defending myself from a barrage of attacks.

"Good morning, Maya! can you have a spar with me? I wanted to train my defense against close range attacks." I asked.

"Oh, Young Master! I will be honoured! But let me prepare an armour for you just in case.

...

(Up until now, my arsenal only consist of the fireball I had casted from my first attempt, original magic and that's all... Fkkkk.. What am I doing these days.. Errr... I need to learn others spells. I don't think spells such as controlling or enhancing spells would need an elemental requirement.. Those are quite important...) I loss myself in various thoughts.

"Young master.. Young Master.. Young Master!! Hello? Are you alright, young master?"

"Oh nothing.."

"Young Master, try this armour on! It is made out of an B-rank monster. Since you will eventually grow taller, Miss Celeste and I decide that a B class monster armour should help you immensely throughout your academy terms, take this as an early gift from Miss Celeste and I. I hope Young Master likes it.."

She handled me the armour.

" It is made out of Armadeloux, a defensive type monster, due to their high defense stats, it can also block most of a low B rank skill before disintegrating."

I put the Armadeloux armour on, expecting it to be heavy, but turns out that the armour can adjust to fit my own body weight.

"Let's begin, Maya!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

We both stand at a distance, ready with our battle stance.

...

"I'm coming, young master." [don't ask me y]

She dashed towards me at lightning speed before slashing down both of her daggers at me. I acted on impulse, holding Chunchunmaru with both of my hands defending against the swift attack. ( ... I can barely follow the speed of Maya's attack... I guess there much more sh**t to learn..) I sighed inwardly.

(Thudd !!)

Upon impact, I was surprised to not be blasted off to the other end of the training ground. I conclude that Chunchunmaru's material which was the World Tree may have absorbed most of the resultant force or that my armour weight before equiping may also have some influence.

Instead, a small dent was formed below where I am currently standing. I pushed off both of the daggers before continuing perfecting my turtle shell defense....

"Thudd!! Thakkk!! Clankk!!! Clinkkk!!!....."

Our sparring session continued until nighttime.

....

"Haaa...... huu......."

I lied on the ground while heavily panted, desperately gasping for oxygen. My lips unconsciously formed a contented smile, pleased by the productive spar. I truly gain a lot of insight on battle aspects.

My days afterwards were just me trying to learn new spells, practicing them while not forgetting my original magic, training my body and sparring with Maya as well as some conversation with Celeste and Grandfather as Celine is living at the Academy's dormitory.

....

Another 6 months later..

The day of my academy entry has finally arrived...

From what I have heard from Celeste, there will be tests to determine which classes we are to be grouped in. The class rank from lowest to highest are from Omega, Beta, Alpha and

Top G classes.

[lol, comment if you got other suggestions]

(I can't wait!!) I sneered inwardly while walking towards the carriage.
