Chapter 8 - Explosion

The next few days our teacher taught us the fundamentals of magics and helped us understand the basics along. I opted to show my skill with fire, ice and wind elemental while Rudeus was more proficient in Earth and Water. Of course, I was only training this element and had been trying to create Lightning strikes. I've created a few magic spells of my own like the Repulsion beam that are based on Iron man. 

Roxy was amazed at how quickly we were improving. She felt useless but kept teaching us the best she could. When our teacher decided to join us in our sword training, she was baffled when I faced my father. 

She never saw someone both talented in magic and sword seeing me show an intermediate rank level of skill with all 3 sword styles made her feel unworthy to teach us. Rudeus sat beside our teacher while me and my father face off each other.

"Are you ready, Rein?"

"Yes, Papa! This time I'll surely hit you!"

I was eager to see his reaction when I used an incomplete [ Shundō ] since I am certain he doesn't have the same movement speed technique like mine. My gripped tighter sword god style while Paul saw my stance decided to use Water God Style since this style has an advantage with mine. However, he was mistaken that my Sword God Style would be the same. He was unaware that I can move at a blinding speed and make sharp turns. 

It took me a while to completely reach this level and can rank it at least at an advanced level since turning with straight forward movement is extremely difficult because of inertia. However, I've been trying to practice magic to manipulate simple physics like Inertia, Gravity, Velocity, etc. My knowledge would prove it's worth once I am able to perfect this magic and techniques. 

Focusing on reinforcing my body with Mana to become a Touki or battle aura producing a different air around me that my father senses the change. This isn't the first time that he saw me like this and though I didn't release any killing intent still made him feel pressured. 

My techniques still remain nameless until I find the proper name then I'll call it nameless sword style. I could feel the air through my skin while everything seemed to slow down. I was taking a quick draw stance where I'm channeling most of my strength into a single strike. 

Whoosh!

I dashed forward pushing me to move in an instant that instantly appeared in front of my father but he predicted this and quickly tried redirecting my swing, however, it was just faint because I quickly vanished from my spot, shocking everyone as I appeared behind right before my father's blind spot. 

My father realized the danger and quickly tried to duck down then rotated his body and swung his wooden sword towards me. I cursed since I couldn't move anymore while in there quickly changed my style and executed a Water God style to block the attack sending me several feet. I quickly stopped my momentum by using wind magic and stood on my feet while my father was still shocked at what I just did. 

"Jeez, Rein, how did you suddenly move that quick!? I couldn't even see you move!?" 

"Here I thought I could get you father! It's something I've thought about when training with magic and sword god style. You said that swordsmen rely on footwork and their movement. I thought of making a way to make myself faster and develop this technique."

"What, you developed your own technique!? I know you're a genius but that's something else!?"

"A 3 year old who created his own sword technique!? Unbelievable!"

My father and Roxy shared their disbelief in my ability to create a technique. I was proud of myself since technically I did make it and thought this came from another show that still took effort to make it only using those shows as a basis. 

"What do you call this new technique of yours and how do you do it?"

"Well, I obviously base it in Sword god style with their speed but I thought of only focusing on my movement speed which in turn creates what I call Instant Movement or [ Shundō ] for short but I am still improving it."

"It's incomplete!? Wait, can you show me how you do it?"

"Sure thing, Papa."

Paul intently watched how I executed [ Shundō ] and vanished from my spot that soon appeared to the other side leaving only a trail of dust and little sound. I soon moved so fast that I was creating few after images from my movement, shocking everyone. I also want to recreate Senka and Utsusemi from bleach when I master [ Shundō ]. 

"Woah! How can you move so fast, Nii-san!?"

'This movement reminds me of Shunpo from bleach!? Nii-San is definitely from earth but doesn't know who he really is and thinks it's just a dream.'

I can clearly see the thoughts of Rudeus after witnessing my movement technique. My lies and deception were effective since I don't want to expose myself this early. Unlike people, I want to have some clarity with my parents and would one day tell them about their dreams since I will leave this world in the pursuit of more strength. 

"Amazing!? And how can this be incomplete? What do you want to achieve, Rein?"

"I want to make less sound and dust. It would appear as if I just appeared but it's incredibly difficult."

"The fact that you made your own technique is already praise worthy son! Can't wait to tell your mother!"

We continue our training before telling mother about my achievement which I receive praise for. Still I was not satisfied at the level I am and wanted to continue improving. My father tried the technique but failed since it was difficult to learn and take talent with years of training to reach my current level. Time passed by and when a week settled in I took the opportunity to train in my Empyrea. Our parents gave us Saturday and Sunday break where I used those weekends to form my Mana core.

I was determined to achieve the mana core and continuously gathered the bits and pieces of Mana. My Mana core could be at least the size of an orange that was pure black providing more clarity in my theory. It was unfortunate that Roxy doesn't have any in-depth books regarding Summoning but had basics in magic circles that would be useful in replicating Flying Raijin. 

'I'm close….and…'

A sudden click could be felt that caused a flare of explosion that decimated the forest within my Empyrea while my senses with Mana drastically improved and I felt I've opened another eye. I inspect my body to see the black core which only needed some purification to improve my ability to draw Mana but regardless I merely held out my hand and started my technique of letting my mana gather, visualize the spell, determine size and quantity of mana required to fuel the spell, and control my mana to replicate the spell with just my thoughts. 

The crackling sound soon could be heard as I created a lightning spell that promptly molded into a javelin then shot it towards the trees that pierce through them before turning the last tree into char. It didn't feel any problem and my Mana hadn't even felt drained in the slightest. 

I tested how much I am able to draw out and started to cast flame magic creating a massive ball of flames that continuously grew until it became a miniature sun where it's hit flared into my skin but fortunately I unconsciously surrounded myself with Touki to protect me. 

Now the size was at least 10 meter in diameter and I started to feel my control slipping as well as my Mana being drained leaving me at least half of it. However, I've tried compressing it, turning it into a blue miniature sun that started to affect my Touki and quickly blast it into the nearby lake. 

At that moment, it seemed to vaporize a large amount of the lake which shows how strong I have become. If my guess is correct then I would qualify to be a Fire saint from that skill alone. 

"This should be enough training today. I can try purifying it in the future and try to decide which technique I should focus on."

I have so many techniques that I wanted to create but limited by time itself and could only concentrate on the one that could benefit me the longest. I've decided to try myself in understanding Inertia, Friction, Velocity and gravity since there was a series called God of Highschool that had characters utilize the 4 fundamental forces in the universe. 

If I am able to control Inertia then it is possible to slice through anything without resistances. Returning home we went to have a night study with our teacher who taught us about the world and the other continent, especially regarding the clan of Superd that had been an outcast even for the demon tribes in the demon continent. However, I knew better than anyone else and can't help but pity them. They were mind controlled by their weapon that turned into a savage beast that was unable to know their enemy and allies.

"That's why your parents were surprised to see me and my hair."

"Sensei's hair is pretty…"

"Thank you very much but you should tell that to the person you like."

"But I like sensei."

"Is that so? If after 10 years your thought doesn't change then tell me that to me again."

"Then I promised I'll say it again! That time sensei will be my wife!"

My words seem to make her consider it since my future would be above everyone else and she can only imagine how handsome I would be when I grow up. I'm not being narcissist but based on my parents' looks then it isn't strange for me to grow up good looking. 

"Nii-San, stop flirting. Sensei, what would we do if we encountered a Superd?"

"Well, the best thing is to run. They are highly dangerous and powerful."

"Really!? Maybe I can fight them some day!"

"NO! I forbid you from trying to find them! You don't know how dangerous they can be!"

Roxy was genuinely worried about my thoughts of fighting them. It made me happy but I was still curious to see how stronger they are. 

"Nii-San, we know you're strong but Sensei seems serious about them."

"Alright, 'Master(Shishou)' "

"...Master? You shouldn't call me that since you two will surpass me and calling someone like me as Master is-"

"Nonsense, Master! You are teaching us to the best of your ability and without your guidance then we won't be able to reach where we are."

I exclaimed trying to help her since she has an inferiority complex and felt unworthy to be called as our Master but whatever people said, she would be my Shisho and my words seemed to stop her to think before sharing her head and taking her books. 

"Okay have it your way, anyway I'll see you two tomorrow."

Roxy soon left us while I thought of ways to finally make her feel worthy to be someone by my side. Even though I felt I'm not deserving of this happiness, I was already determined to live in bliss. My thought was disrupted when the sound of our parent baby making could be heard in the other room. I remember something good and quickly walk my way to the door to take a peek to see Our Master having her own fun. 

Her restless breath with hand between her legs was a sight to be remembered. My body is still a child and hadn't reached puberty therefore I couldn't feel aroused but I appreciate the moment. 

"Nii-San what are you doing?"

"I just check if master is okay since she seem to not like being called as Shishou."

"Don't worry, Nii-San. She will always be our Shishou."

"Right, *yawn* well I'm going to bed, how about you?"

He gave me a nod as we hopped into our bed and blew our lamp before falling asleep. I just saw something amazing that I would now treasure with my life.
