The Voice On The Rival's Head

Chapter 48: Verite and Uncle Samurai

Verite sighed, gathering all the mana in the air into his body, standing on a vast field far away from the Verite civilization alone practicing, he wanted to strengthen himself before he could engage with the civil war that had a high possibility of occurring.

Verite opened his palm, small strands of fire began to appear at the center of his palm, adding mana little by little the fire began to grow and enlarge until the size of the fire became as big as a coconut.

Verite pulled his arm, his legs raised forward and with the weight of momentum he got from this horse Verite threw the fireball into the air, the fireball sped up into the sky, it sped into the sky, leaving a trail of fire that looks stunning to the audience.

Verite flicked his finger and with an instant the fireball scattered like fireworks, making a sizable explosion in the air.

Verite threw out his breath, he felt his control in his long-range magic was still lacking, Verite could throw and blast the thrown fireball but he could not make the sharp turn that happened directly.

Little thing like this would decide the winner in the Thaumaturgist fight, during this year the hall that Verite was lacking was to train her body's ability in fighting, he preferred to increase his knowledge and find a way to make the Mefras body which he now had already successfully created.

Verite decides to train his horse, Verite has no teacher in close combat and Duke Bloome is a long-range fighter who relies on his magic in combat.

As much confidence as Verite had with his Thaumaturgy abilities he was not the Duke of Bloome, Verite was well aware of his shortcomings with his fighting abilities so Verite asked the guards of Duke Bloome to teach him the basis of self-protection.

“A girl alone in this place will invite danger.” 

Verite immediately turned around, seeing someone wearing a straw hat and wearing samurai clothes in front of him, Verite did not feel the existence of this person at all even if he was standing in the open field. 

“Who are you?” Verite asked, raising his defenses.

This person was the samurai who attacked Mefras and Helian, Verite was convinced because Mefras had already sent his appearance past their mind connection.

Verite prepared to retreat because he was not sure he could defeat the person who could fend off Mefras attacks and escape from them, Verite made Mefras' body with a very high spec.

And Verite also noticed if this person's purple-robed friend was in this region, if he was besieged Verite would have difficulty escaping without making a fuss.

‘Mefras. Quickly come.’ Verite sent a message to Mefras.

‘Verite? What's up?’ Mefras asked.

‘I'm dealing with a samurai who fought you.’

‘Oh, alright, I'll be there soon! I'll also tell Duke what happened.’

Their conversation broke, Verite faced the samurai with a heart, ready to run.

“Ah, wait wait, wait.. I am not a criminal. I just hitchhiked through.” The samurai said, swinging his hands together, trying to convince Verite, his face showing a smile mixed with panic.

Verite humbled his defense, “So what do you want?” Verite asked, he did not know why this samurai approached him, did he know that Veritelah had supplied the mana to Mefras' body?

“I saw you training in a place like this and it made me curious.” He said, still wearing his smile which made him feel harmless.

“I train to protect myself from people like uncle who approach small children because they feel curious.” Verite said he would not be ashamed to use his age as a weapon.

“Woah, woah, I'm not such a disgusting person.” The samurai uncle shook his head, like he was disgusted by the implication.  “I just want to see you practice and maybe give advice for you.” The samurai pama said.

Verite lowered his horse, showing the samurai uncle that Verite had become calmer, Verite knew this uncle's abilities and was still careful with him, but if he had any advice on developing Verite's knowledge, Verite knew of his abilities, Verite will accept it with pleasure.

“Uncle does not look like a person who can defend himself, how about uncle show uncle ability first?” Verite asked, pura did not know of his abilities.

“Hahahaha, alright.” The uncle started putting up his horse.

“how?” The samurai uncle asked.

Verite was speechless, this uncle was an expert. His movements were competent and disciplined movements, judging from his martial ability alone this uncle was a competent, competent man, but that's not what impressed Verite but which movement around it that flows and obeys the movement of this samurai uncle.

The mana that flowed like a calm river water and became a big wave as he let go of his fist, this uncle showed how high the mana control was, in contrast to the way Duke Bloome's Mana current was filled with calculations.

Verite approached the samurai uncle and said, “Please teach me uncle.”

Verite asked the samurai uncle to teach him, this was a good opportunity to develop his knowledge.

“Sure, I feel you have talent in using energy in.” The uncle said.

Energy within? Verite's mind went straight to the movie Mefras showed him, about a small-time criminal who gains enlightenment and learns of the Buddhist sites.

“Close your eyes, and feel the energy energy that is in the environment around you.”

Verite obeyed his instructions and did what he said, this was almost similar to the meditation he did to feel the mana in his body and surroundings.

“Imagine the water droplets, the ripples that occur when the water touches and joins the river below them are you, using your life energy you cannot control where they go, you cannot control where they go, but you can give them a little direction and advice on where they go.”

Verite understood what he was talking about, he sensed the mana around him, and by giving him the droplets which Verite had he could influence how mana in nature moved.

Verite understood the difference in science that this samurai was trying to ask and Thaumaturgy that he had, Inner Power was a living beast and relied on a natural, raw and supple power. give while Thaumaturgy is a human who changes nature by force, artificial and hard.

They do not exceed or less than each other, Thaumaturgy and Inner Energy are sciences that use different approaches.

Verite swung his fists and unleashed his directed mana, as he let go the wind blew fiercely and the tree that was far away from him collapsed.

Uncle samurai whistling. “you have talent.” She said. “Continue practicing like this and you can become an expert in close combat.”

Verite lowered his head, “Thank you for the advice of his samurai uncle.” Verite showed his gratitude with the new knowledge he had gained.

“Sure, I can't silence a talent that needs honing..” He said before squinting his eyes.

“it looks like it's a good time to go, see you son.” The uncle waved and walked into the darkness of the forest.

Verite knew why he had disappeared by arriving, Verite had already sensed the near existence of Mefras.

“Where are you from?” 

The purple robe that had been waiting for a long time asked.

“sorry to make you wait for Talas, I saw a diamond that is not unpolished, so I want to help him shine a little.”

“Give up, boss calls us home, looks like Duke Bloome started his move.” The purple robe.

“Iya.. By the way, what is the word samurai that residents of Azalea city often hear?”
