The Story of the Brave Warrior

3: training with Adam

...Episode 3's...

After all the events that I experienced yesterday, I was with Adam working together and forming a team, you both left the druth village and went to Sanola village, the distance of Sanola village and druth village is 2km, the distance of the druth village is, it was close enough so we only needed 3 hours to travel.

Arriving at the village of Sanola, Adam invited me to take a break at a bar, obviously to eat and drink.

"yesterday I promised to treat you the moment before you accepted my duel, now you just have to choose, whatever"

"okay"

in retrospect, I also begged Adam to comply with the request so that I could use mystic powers.

I think after this he'll ask for it, if he forgets I'd rather just shut up.

Adam and I were eating in a bar, waiting for orders, and I asked Adam what he was going on an adventure.

"i like to fight with strong opponents, so I decided to travel the world in search of a strong opponent."

Adam only replied that he had a purpose to fight a strong enemy, for that he continued to travel everywhere.

I was curious and how long it had been adventuring, it was cool if he told me about his adventure.

"How long has it been adventuring."

"just 1 year..."

I was surprised to hear that, I don't think there was anything interesting he said.

"just started too!!!."

"dad is.."

If he was just starting his adventure, whether his magical powers were taught by other adventurers, if so, it would be impossible.

just like learning to swim, it takes a long time.

"Are you sure you can with that power."

"Remember, I was trained at a young age."

"at a young age, she must be from a certain family.?"

I thought in my heart.

"i look at you like there's something interesting about you."

"It's interesting?.. The sensation you were talking about."

"Well, you may have potential, I'm interested in teaching you how to make an exciting opponent for me."

I was recognized by Adam for having great potential to become a strong man. It makes me a little proud.

I wonder how he knows the power.. What's name.

"you have knowledge of power.. Where's that from."

"mystics.. I learned this science from my hometown, learned secretly with my teacher."

"where did you come from.?

"I'm from sluth village. I live with my stepfamily, if you."

"i left them after my parents died."

"Oh.. I'm so sad."

So Adam left his hometown after his parents died for that Adam decided to go on a journey, maybe because there was no one to hold him back from leaving??.

"..."

 our order has come, I only ordered fish porridge and soup. It is a delicious meal in the winter.

you end the talk U temporary and focus on eating, Adam ordered an expensive food, namely grilled chicken.

although I was treated, I was not good to ask for expensive food, but I also wanted to, maybe anytime I bought it.

after eating, you both drink warm water.

it was Adam's turn to ask me

"so what's your goal in becoming an adventurer.?"

I was adventuring, to get to know what this world was like, I thought coming the demon world would be interesting, even though I knew it was impossible, but what was the problem if I had a dream that was as high as the sky!!".

"i've heard the story, that the demon world is not a friendly place. Humans are acceptable from there. But what about that, crime is more violent there than here."

As soon as my dream of going there ran aground, I guess there was only smoke and barren land. If you look around from here, the demon world is red, like fire. I think Adam was telling the truth.

if so surely many of them prefer to live in the human world.

"Would the demons choose to live here quietly."

"Of course there are many!."

if there's a lot of mana maybe I've never met any of them.

"But why have I never seen one of them?."

"They're in some places.

A remote and poor place like here where there is.."

"you have a point too."

It felt like being struck by the fact, the place I lived in was a poor territory. There are people who want to live in poverty.

"have you ever seen a man of the half-animal race.?

Why suddenly talking about another human race.

"Earlier when I was a kid, he had sharp nails and a slightly odd nose, but he said they had a keen sense of smell."

"That's right, like animals in general, they have a sharp pace, vision, and smell."

"So the human race is the weakest race huh.?"

Delicious dong has many advantages over races like me.

"Who says they have flaws too."

"Deficiency..? With many such advantages, they still had flaws."

"The human half-animal race has a deficiency that they are stupid and have some kind of food that is toxic to them."

"Like chocolate..?

This reminds me of something, when Ali accidentally gave her to a cat and eventually died of poisoning, Ali cried for a week because of it.

"yes that's one example, but some are immune to all food."

If it's about the food they're picky, but it's not that problematic, the problem is they're stupid, I just found out, I think he's saying this because we're going to meet them, I have to be vigilant at least.

****

tomorrow morning, I was with Adam already in the guild office to take on the mission.

a mission in a small village like this was just a simple mission. Adam once said that taking missions in certain cities, or regions, the missions provided will be more diverse, but also more dangerous and expensive.

I saw there was a mission to explore a cave and had to make a map there, I think it's easier this one, but no one took it yet I asked Adam to choose this.

"no, not that one"

Adam rejected it, maybe because it was less interesting, I also felt like it was actually.

he's taking a mission, then,

take 5 bison tail distance 5km.

quite risky and far at the same time the prize offered is quite large.

"the mission of hunting bison animals?"

"it just so happened to have migrated to this region this year."

"But 5km from the village?!"

"Please close for such a distance."

"But on foot, it is very tiring and requires preparation for camping on the way."

Sure enough, I had to walk that far.

"just relax, it's also for your training."

"huh.alright whatever."

in the end they took the mission because Adam said he was going to teach me. I think positively, because he previously said the mystical power is a power that should not be known to the public, so I just accept it, I said, it's for my own good, too.

****

The two of them then leave Sanola village for a while due to the mission.

on the way, I asked what Adam had not revealed about the power of the soul or mystics.

Adam began to tell

"Actually I myself do not know 100% of the secret of this power"

"astage..."

disappointed, I would never think Adam was perfect again.

Adam began to retell the reason the power of the mystical force should not be spread widely.

"mystic force, the important thing of it all is, do not occasionally tell the secret of this soul force to the public, because it can cause chaos and balance of the world."

I think it's a lot of trouble if everyone can use this power.

"is it like a murder case that's going to escalate drastically, war. Violence, etc can be more cruel if you know of this power?.

"yeah!"

I guess For that Adam chose a distant mission to train me away from the village.

"why not tell that to the people so that we can all defeat the demon lord."

Adam explained.

 "actually demon lords have long or rarely attacked the world again, because they know we are very weak, for that they seem to no longer care about us."

In order to reduce the threat of a surprise attack from the demon lord, the world leader agreed to keep this power secret to the residents, so that the demon lord did not feel threatened. and we can calmly lead a normal life even if we can't escape the threat of the demon lord."

From Adam's long explanation, I understand more and more, that the demon lord is too strong, he could have defeated the entire world easily.

****

"Keep the way I use mystic power?."

I can't wait to use this power.

Adam tells us that the way to bring out the power of the soul is by.

"try pressing the seal of your soul door so that the padlock can be damaged and finally the soul door opens."

"..."

 "the risk, if it takes too long to unlock that power. Then it would be the same as wasting the soul energy until it was exhausted and it had to be shut down immediately."

"i don't understand what you're talking about."

Sorry, I'm confused as you were.

"the bottom line is the same as peeing until you're done."

pee until it runs out, you mean I must have the desire to release mystic energy, and do not run out, later I can die like a bleed out.

I UNDERSTAND!!!

"okay I get it, for it not to come out too much we have to hold it"

"it's really "

now I just need to figure out how to get that power out.

Adam showed me his palm.

"oh this. Don't-don't!!"

"don't be noisy."

Adam just told him to be quiet, because he was focused, I just looked at his hand and waited for something to come out.

Adam's palm immediately gave off a light. Adam had Raden feel the source of the light.

when you touch it with your finger.

"ahhhhh.. Hot."

"try again, but longer".

At first feel the same heat.The return of feeling warm, and finally comfortable, like holding a warm blanket.

I let it go back.

Adam had asked me to touch him again, but I had to prepare.

I touched it, it felt comfortable like before, my finger suddenly hurt and like an electric shock.

"hhh..how did that happen??!!"

I wonder how that could have happened. Adam answered it

"if the light that Raden was holding was originally a neutral soul force, while when Raden's hand was in pain again, it was a positive soul force."

positive and neutral, I seem a little familiar with this concept.

"if there is no negative"

Adam answered it

 "there is, that is, absorbing, or resisting a positive force, as opposed to a positive force."

Looks like it's interesting.

"i want to know every detail of his nature."

"Well, I'll explain in detail."

"Listen carefully.."

"positive soul force that is like exploding, commonly used for combat."

"negative, absorbing soul force, or antidote is commonly used to create defensive power, or poison for the opponent"

"Neutral, a soul force that does not hurt but can still be felt and beneficial to yourself or others, or any other thing that is not used for fighting, like what well..."

I grew curious and immediately wanted to use this magical power.

"okay how do I use it??? "

"Alright come here"

Adam then told Raden to come closer and noticed the light in his hands. Suddenly the light grew bigger but the light emitted grew dimmer. He told me to hold it.

Unexpectedly, I could hold the mystic ball and pick it up like I was picking up a ball. But not for long, the power faded and finally disappeared, I also felt a little pain, but it felt like my hand I was still holding. somehow explaining it I was still holding it.

"you feel something strange, it's a remnant of my soul energy that's a waning keel, try to defend it with your own soul force."

Adam told me to keep the ball and not to disappear.

my body is required to recognize the soul energy and form it. Adam was constantly giving the ball away, and I had to catch him who I had to defend in order not to disappear.

****

4 Hours have passed

I tried to keep the power of the ball from disappearing, while Adam continued to make the ball without looking the slightest bit exhausted, while I was already very exhausted. My face is flushed and sweaty.

but my struggle was not in vain, the longer and keep trying, I managed to hold the power of the ball very long, and in the end the ball has not disappeared for 1 hour.

Adam chuckled and clapped his hands to see the efficacy of Raden who only took a moment to master it.

"you look just like me. I could hold that ball, about 5 hours of training. You're faster probably because Raden's body already knew the power of the soul."

Reminds me of Adam, who took 5 hours to be able to withstand the power of the soul, but this time Raden is the fastest, probably influenced by the experience of feeling the mystical energy yesterday.

"..."

"The second exercise is how to bring out the power of the soul."

"Why not just daritadi. Wouldn't it be easier to maintain if it could already take out its own??"

"the reason why I told you to learn to resist the power of the soul is to resist the power of the soul that will be issued in Raden, so as not to be expelled too much and can be held back."

"quickly make the ball yourself".

"it seems to know how but he doesn't know what kind of soul force will be issued positive, neutral or negative."

"that's you find out for yourself, and you'll find out"

tell me a little bit what's hard.

I was a little nervous and alert, when all of a sudden the outgoing positive force would explode, he knew Adam was emitting a neutral soul.

because they are used to it and know what to expect.

While I'm still not good at withstanding that power let alone making it myself.

I try to calm my mind.

It feels almost like losing the ball and holding it. I had to feel a soul sensation in my hand and then take it out.

It took me a long time to try, I forced my hand to cramp.

I took a break and tried again and again.

while being focused, suddenly a spark of light appeared and then disappeared back.

I was glad to finally get myself out, and Adam was surprised to see it.

"It's good that you've now been able to get it out, now you just need to get it out permanently"

Adam said proudly.

I myself was also surprised and happy, he continued his training.

it took half a day to get to the area where the bison migrated, they had arrived at the place and close, just waiting for the bison to come, because it was night they must have slept, wait tomorrow morning, wait for the bison, the bison will be seen passing through this place.we both decided to take a break.

adam asked me to stand guard first, while training.

i-i accept.

The night had come, Adam was already asleep, while I was still practicing bringing out soul force, until he was finally able to hold that power long enough, and he was finally able to bring out and eliminate that power, he said, I finally learned that all this time the power issued was initially neutral, if you want to make it positive, required not to be held back, make energy unstable, which the kembundang produce a small explosion.

Do this over and over quickly and end up making a small ball, unfortunately I can only hold it for a few seconds, maybe about 2-3 seconds, if longer I actually want to try, he said, but it's midnight and being in the woods, I don't want to take any chances. So I'm training to get used to it and hold it for longer.

"..."

the moon is right above, the demon world has begun to set in the east.I am today at midnight.I am the kembunwakan Adam who fell asleep, had hoped that Adam would wake up again, I didn't want to get the same treatment when I was with the adventurer group back then.

Adam's kembund woke up, I asked him to take turns because he wanted to rest and sleep as well.

But Adam complained and wanted to go to sleep, it made Raden upset, and they stormed in the middle of the night in a forest. And finally Adam relented and they took turns to keep watch.

"..."

The morning had come, the two of them were back in power. I came back powered up like I was losing and my spirit resumed my training

"it looks like the bison is coming soon, we're leaving now..".

we got up and left the camp and headed to the bison migration area.
