The Seven Monster Spirit

Chapter 18 - Elf Technique Training

"Elnad!!....Rein!!, what are you two doing?" ask Elvinia. The two Elves were the two guards guarding the Elven elder in the village, but for some reason they were both here now, and in difficult to explain circumstances both pointed their weapons at Elvinia.

"Yo Elvinia, you're having a party alone again" said Elnad with a stupid smile on his face "You should have us too" Elnad continued, lowering the bow he was holding.

"What do you two want?" elvinia asked, her eyes narrowed, watching the two Elves in front of her.

"Hey...Be serious!!" said the long blonde Elf who kept pointing her gun at Elvinia.

"Don't be too stiff, we listen first to the explanation of the sweet Elf in front" Elnad told his friend Rein, the two Elves felt something strange from the human child in front of him.

Elvinia racked her brain, the Elf girl thought of the reason why the two Elves came here, then she thought of a strong reason 'what to catch Neron?'.

"I will not hand this child over to you" said Elvinia firmly while protecting Neron behind her back.

"Yes that's not wrong, but it's not just that" Elnad said that with a sigh.

"What do you mean?"

"There are three things that require us to attack you, first you burn the forest, " Rein has not yet finished his sentence Elvinia cut Rein's words firmly.

"I didn't burn the forest, I burned the flesh" Elvinia said as if refining Rein's statement.

"But you use wood from the forest and also don't cut my words" Rein explained.

Rein looked at Elnad as if to say can I continue? and Elnad just nodded in response.

"Secondly, you nurture monsters that can pounce on anyone and thirdly, the most dangerous you save races that can kill us, So do you think there's no reason for us not to attack you?" After continuing his explanation, Rein prepared to attack Elvinia and then kill the human child and the white wolf in front of him.

"I'll give you my explanation as well as Rein" said Elvinia growling resentfully as they had always distrusted any creature other than the Elves, which made the Elf girl dislike her own race, since they were too arrogant and considered them higher than other races so they did not trust other beings, how could it create unity between the 7 continents if it were like that? that was the question that Elvinia was thinking. "This wolf and son of man will never attack anyone, for I am watching over them both, and also I use dead wood to burn flesh and when it is done, I will use the dead wood, I put out the fire with water" Elvinia explained

"For that fire I may still be able to tolerate, but what makes you so sure that these two creatures won't attack anyone?" rein asked with a slight annoyance.

Elnad who saw it raised next to his eyebrows, because only this time his best friend who was always calm lost his calm.

"I vouch for them both" Elvinia said firmly.

"prakk" the sound of Elnad's clapping stopped their debate.

"That's enough, Rein....We leave this matter to Elvinia" Elnad said with a smile on his face "we still have a lot of business"

"But El-"

"Here you go, let's go" said Elnad, pushing his friend away from where Elvinia was.

"Elvinia, don't let one of them make trouble, because one mistake is enough for us to finish them off" Elnad recalled

"Calm down, it'll never happen" the words were so convincing, that Elnad said nothing more.

The Elf girl heaved a sigh of relief as her fear did not come true. Looking at Neron with a smile, Elvinia invited Neron into hiding.

"Your training will begin in 2 days so prepare yourself, to now rest" Elvinia said with enthusiasm.

Neron who had witnessed this was somewhat guilty, but what he needed to do now was to make the words of Elvinia come true that he would not attack anyone.

It was a clear morning as usual but since Neron was now in the forest of Eastia, the largest forest in the world, the sunlight that should have shone on the world was not as bright as when he was in the village, in fact, there is a fog that covers the forest so that the eyes do not function properly. Neron looked at the atmosphere of the forest very differently, he could sense mana but could not see clearly, therefore now he wanted to learn the Elf Technique for his senses to sense it getting sharper.

"Let's get Neron started training" Invite the Elf Girl who is warming up in the slightly bright sun.

Neron nodded in response and began to follow Elvinia from behind. Not far from where Neron wanted to do the exercises, the White Wolf curled up watching the two people from a distance.

"How are we going to do the exercises?" ask Neron curiously

"Let's start with the formation of mana into creation magic" Elvinia said while creating an arrow made of mana.

"brother Elvinia"

"Yes?"

"I can't use magic" Neron's words startle Elvinia, because it's rare that she finds someone who doesn't have magic, if only she can't use magic, the Elf girl still knows, but now Elvinia is trying to be a good teacher by trying to do another exercise.

"So yeah" Elvinia smiled awkwardly then continued "can you still feel where?" ask him to Neron.

"It can and is not just that, I can also feel the power of mana in a person"

"That's great, but Neron this technique isn't a technique you can use recklessly" Stared at Neron with Seriousness "Many Humans had learned this Elf Technique and were used to kill other races and even their own races, So Neron promised to use this technique wisely"

"Yes brother....I promise"

"Good" Elvinia stroked Neron's head gently "I wanted to teach you something else too, but it didn't seem to be...... Now let's start the exercise"

The morning exercises reminded Neron of his training with Hazel, and when Neron was done, the man would stroke his head as Elvinia did. Again the boy remembered it, a sad memory.

Now Elvinia trained Neron to use his senses, his eyes closed with a cloth, so that the human child was focused on his senses and his listener Indra could also be used to help. Elvinia tried to attack Neron using a wooden stick and Neron had to avoid it.

Every day Neron practiced, his ability to use sense techniques continued to develop, although he was initially hit by continuous attacks, but within 10 days his ability increased. Elvinia trained him in the morning because there was fog, with the ability of fog, Neron's sense of taste became blunt, but by mastering the sense technique his ability to feel is increasing.

The training is not always the same every day, the difficulty is increasing as well as the Neron sense technique, and if Elvinia is not there, Neron will practice using some wood himself as his training companion.

After a long time of training, Neron came up with an idea to use his sense technique.

'Is that monster really in my body?' The question came to Neron's mind, which prompted him to use his own sense technique. Because the sense technique is usually used to sense which ones are in nature or to sense which ones are in the bodies of living things, so Neron wondered if he could do it in his own body, and to ascertain whether the monster was inside his body or the Memory was just a dream, so Neron would confirm it now with the sense technique.

Sitting with his eyes closed Neron focused on using this Elf technique, it felt different than using it when feeling a living being that existed in nature, feeling mana in his own body required more concentration. Neron began to imagine the place when he met the black Dragon, an empty dark place.

His mind went into a dark place, there was an obscure shadow that appeared, but after the shadow began to appear perfectly as if Neron's body was being pulled out.

"Hah.hahh" His breathing proves that using the sense technique to himself drains a lot of stamina, but Neron does not give up, again the boy tries to enter that dark place, but once again Neron does not give up, The shadow he had just seen was becoming clearer and now the shape of the monster was clearly visible.

"You're back again boy" a heavy voice rang out along the dark place.

"There's a lot I want to know about you" Neron looked at the Dragon in front of him sharply and said that firmly.

Although the black Dragon was a monster, and his expression was indescribable, but somehow Neron could see the Dragon smiling cunningly.
