Pride of Indonesia's

POI 10 - Deepening Mana Capabilities

Henzie and Aditya start the warm-up by doing sparring exercises, they both use martial arts silat well enough that Aditya was surprised when he saw a woman like himself has a very large energy, he said, Aditya was pushed back and hit the tree behind him.

"Great martial arts as well, you can learn silat well... Looks like we started by improving your martial arts first, Aditya. You must know about the basic pencak silat technique, right?"

"Of course---" Aditya widened his eyes when he saw Henzie moving as fast as the wind towards his self then he lifted his body, he used the technique of cutouts, he used the technique, this technique is done by way of kicks and clasps such as cutting the opponent's body part that aims to drop while locking it. 

"O-Oi...! W-What are you doing...?!" Aditya felt tight in his chest when Henzie knocked him down, "Your physics is still not enough, it turns out you still do not understand so much in strengthening your physique using Mana."

Henzie stops locking his body and helps Aditya to stand up while recovering some of his broken bones thanks to the technique, Aditya feels disappointed with himself... He was still far from strong, against a woman alone he could feel such intense pain until his bones cracked.

Aditya leaps backwards as he feels the deadly air inside Henzie's body, Henzie himself chuckles softly as Aditya can now feel the enemy's movements that have not been done yet, initially Henzie intends to use the locking technique to Aditya but he soon realizes it thanks to the help of Mana which enhances his senses.

Henzie moved as fast as the wind until Aditya's eyes he flowed Mana to be able to see the movement that began to slow down, Aditya repels all his attacks so easily that he kicks his stomach and is able to push Henzie backwards. Both his arms and legs he flowed Mana so that the attack power grew stronger.

"Aditya, what you need to know about where you can improve your physique is important... Just imagine your body is like flowing water, that flow can improve your physique even... If the Mana level is at a very high level then you can get immune science because you are pure Indonesian, right?" Henzie chuckles.

Aditya closed both his eyes, his body filled with Mana flow that enhanced his physique... Henzie could read Aditya's mind and at the moment he was thinking quite calmly, there was no burden blocking him... It was possible that he quickly calmed down because he wanted to quickly grow stronger to be able to protect this homeland.

Where Aditya began to drain quickly and Henzie could realize him, he still could not use the Mana ability that could drain all living things including plants to give himself a source of Mana, he still could not use the Mana ability that could drain all living things including plants to give himself a source of Mana, if he could use that ability then he would no longer have to worry about running out of Mana.

"Then, let's try to practice sparring again, Aditya!" Henzie put up his horses, "Do you already understand how to increase your speed using Mana...? Which one you've been flowing through your entire body can create another factor to increase speed, strength, defense, and agility."

"We start slowly, Aditya. Let's raise up the abilities of the Unknown... [Where Burst I is], only that ability can be used normally... You can use that Mana ability to improve anything you want but on one condition." Henzie raised his finger.

"Don't you ever try to use her too much, though, especially if you use it twice then your body will be destroyed or Mana in Him you force out of your body to cause your body to be filled with holes that will be drain a lot of blood."

"I understand... Where's Burst I!" Aditya's body was filled with Mana lines that glowed for a few seconds then all those lines disappeared until Aditya's body felt light now, with this... He has increased the same pace as Henzie.

Their bodies felt light to the point that their speed was now equal to the speed of the wind, they were fighting each other using martial arts silat... None of them were able to use the locking technique as well as the cutouts as they could avoid quite well.

Henzie could see Aditya's development process quite well, he really looked like a beginner in using Mana abilities but thanks to his self who already had experience about fighting... He learns quickly without having to be stubborn, Aditya can already learn all of it quickly.

"... ...!" Henzie widened his eyes as he tried to levitate several punches already lined with Mana, the, all of those blows were unable to injure Aditya as he was now able to use his Mana ability to improve his physique and defense until he unlocked the science of immunity.

"Hahhhh!!! First Lockout Technique!!!" Aditya targeted Henzie's upper arm. When Henzie directs from the front, Aditya immediately avoids it by catching the upper arm of the opponent and then locks it so that he can not move.

"I surrender... Like you can use that lockdown technique... You learn fast, Aditya..." Henzie smiled slightly, Aditya took it off and helped him stand up.

They rested under a tree while enjoying a lunch cooked by Henzie, he gave it to Aditya and then he immediately ate it until the food tasted very delicious and made Henzie smile until blushed for a while. With pencak silat that he learned thanks to experience, he can stop his fellow nation opponents with locking techniques only.

"I'm curious, Aditya. You looked like a beginner when you used martial arts, but now... You're quite proficient as well, can it also be referred to as Mana ability?" Ask Henzie.

"It could be... Yahh... Back then, when I tried to fight the invaders, oh. I hope you're not offended ya..." Aditya had just remembered that the invaders were Dutch and Henzie himself was a woman who could be called of Dutch descent, "Just relax, then let it pass."

"That time... Before I advanced into battle, a mysterious girl came face to face with me... He touched my head until my mind felt light.my mind can now remember anything and learn something new, the point is I can learn quickly and also adapt quite quickly... The mistake I made too, hopefully I can fix it." Aditya smiled slightly.

"Great as well... It's possible that the Goddess blessed you with an ability that can help you learn things quickly."

"Even though I am blessed with such a thing... My experience was more helpful, now I have understood how to use this Mana. Can increase physical and other things... I'm curious, how can you read my mind with Where is it?" Ask Aditya.

"By flowing your Mana into these two eyes, you can also see the lies of someone with that flow, it takes process and practice... The point is that you should be able to perfect your low-level Mana, we better learn about the Mana ability that can absorb the Mana source from living things." Henzie gives Aditya a glass of water and Aditya drinks it straight away.

"Alright, Aditya. The break time is up, we proceed again by training the Mana ability so that you can gather the Mana source around you." Henzie took a few steps back and jumped to the point of landing on a large tree.

"This time we will fight on the tree, not just fight... We will also try to unite with nature so that nature can know our existence wherever we go, if we are united with nature then nature will give us the source of Mana little by little. Isn't that helpful enough?"

"Of course, all right. Train me again, Henzie. There is much more I have to learn about this Mana source!" Aditya jumped up then he landed on the tree while looking at Henzie with a serious expression.

"Let's start the next exercise...!"
