A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 35: In the Ice Sheet - 4

Explosions and clangs echoed across the white plains, sending cold white powder flying in all directions. In the area referred to as the death zone, Rion was training for a final match with Lily.

Six months had passed quickly, unlike Rion's expectation that Lily was just playing around. The girl was really serious about training for him.

In the first month, Rion performed a match practice that could not even be described as an exercise because the result could be described as a brief, total defeat!

Hence when Rion used magic in a state of fighting by holding match practice with him almost every day, he learned many things that were also his weaknesses. Starting from the failure to issue magic to be released, the delay in tempo cast spells, cutting the opponent's spells, to small mistakes such as waste of mana that he did not realize had been done.

After Rion fixed this and continued to feel a complete defeat from Lily, her entire response, movement, as well as control over magic could not be compared to before.

In addition, Rion is getting used to Lily's behavior which sometimes gives her surprise attacks as well as some small traps. However, all of that will also be faced in the future and there is no harm in preparing yourself from the beginning.

Although all of that is not done with the full power of Lily. However, it also helps Rion's senses to be very responsive and sensitive to what he feels.

This result also did not escape the efforts of Rion, if not for analytical skills and determination yes, maybe he would indeed be the toy of the girl. Given all the explanations that the girl told him covered only the basics.

After three months, Rion was already getting used to his training. Moreover, he understood that this matter was more beneficial to him. After all he had to become stronger if he wanted his goal to succeed, and now was the determination of whether he would still stay here longer or be able to exact his vengeance immediately.

Rion retreated, his eyes staring at Lily who had been standing still while the pieces of ice around the girl continued to move wildly to form a storm.

With a sword in his hand, Rion tried to break through Lily's defense.

All because not only had his magic developed rapidly, but also his non-magic fighting abilities. Lily's own intervention can not be ignored, because most of him also took part in the development of Rion.

In between her training, Rion interrupted Lily while she was practicing swordsmanship. Asking which part was wrong, Lily also showed casually the movement referred to him which made the young man have to acknowledge the movement that Lily did like a dance, which was a dance, beautiful but could be felt the silhouette of death at his every move.

When Rion awakens from the daydream and looks at Lily who will soon go to look for food at that time. He asks the question of whether it is true that Lily is a magician because every move of the sword technique she shows is very subtle.

However, Lily who had trouble telling Rion took a deep breath and diverted the conversation materials.

By explaining the basis of the four types of training to Rion, his attention was diverted.

Theories about the owners of battle techniques, witches, users of power, and spiritual power. It is the branch of seeking power in a particular field of body, control, potential, and mental.

The rendezvous technique can be said to train the body when using some kind of weapon such as a sword or other weapon. Combat technique users made moves by uniting weapons as their bodies. Therefore, even if someone uses the same weapon, but if the level of power is different, it will produce different powers.

By the principle of incarnating or incarnating the weapon, as in the body of the wearer. The same thing happened even when the user of the battle technique did not hold his weapon. This also causes the user of battle techniques to only focus on one type of weapon according to the type of incarnation that is run.

That's why battle techniques are described as training on the body. Because every incarnation that can be done is a depiction of the body ranging from strength, speed, endurance, and others. However, the incarnation itself can reach an extreme.

For magicians, any magic mastered can be described as a form of their control. Witches perform magic that can be said to be successful not only from being able to cast magic. However, also from his control over the magic, starting from the direction, power, effects, and all other things are also included in the success of a magic.

The nature of control is very pronounced in the witch, not only the control on each of her magic, but also on the witch herself. Therefore, most witches are cold-headed and not easily ignited emotions.

The last type, the owner of the spiritual power is the most difficult to explain for sure. However, the point is to make the user's mind immune from most mental attacks. While the shape itself can be of various types, from [Sign] which is a sign on certain body parts to other forms such as special perception.

In general, people only train themselves on one type of strength development. However, there were also those who trained more than one like Lily and Rion even though he himself was unaware of it.

Lastly, lower energy and upper energy, for simplicity it is the form of origin of energy before it becomes acceptable to living things. The lower energy itself was usually absorbed by the magicians and spiritual power, while the upper energy was absorbed by the users of battle techniques and ability users.

When Lily ended her explanation, he immediately left Rion still busy in his mind who was processing this information with a variety of new ideas that appeared before realizing that he had not answered Rion's initial question.

Even though Rion wanted to chase after the girl, he had lost track of her after a while and made her even more wonder who Lily would be. However, this information was never mentioned in any of the books he had read, and most likely it was highly classified information and would not be spread out easily.

Although questions still flood him even today, but Rion chose to focus on what he was doing.

Retreating for a moment, Rion still released magic to hold Lily.

"With this exercise is complete" said Lily lightly who stopped Rion from further attacks to be carried out.

However, even though Rion took a sigh of relief he was still astonished that Lily had not made a single step from her place since the fight had happened, but that was not too much she thought about.

'I finally finished being Lily's toy, ' Rion thought trying to hold back her tears.

Remembering the last thing Lily asked before this practice, which was to make a modification to the magic that Rion mastered that made him lose his composure.

At first glance it doesn't look difficult. However, the use of spells on magic must be precise or only mana scattering will occur.

But all that doesn't matter. Staring at the road ahead, Rion began to step away leaving a white expanse of ice behind him. However, as she looked back Lily's figure followed right at her.

"Why are you here?"

"...."

Lily was silent, just staring at Rion's eyes in focus. Violet Lily's eyes glowed for a moment which made Rion call out to her again. "Lily, why are you here?"

A hint of shock was seen in Lily's eyes. However, it managed to hide it. Staring at Rion, he lightly said, "I've told you I want to help you."

Ignoring Lily, Rion walked back. "Why do you want to help me?"

"Let's just say we have the same goal."

"Reason?"

Lily only smiled faintly, not responding to Rion further. Seeing this, Rion chose silence because Lily seemed to want to keep it a secret. He didn't want to add this 'monster' behavior to his list of problems.
