Chapters 26. Windhi Ayundari (Part 3) - Dome of the Wind

The next day, Ayu did special training in the second area to improve her long-range fighting abilities. At this training, Ayu did not get much trouble because Ayu did specialize in long-range attacks. He had many reliable ranged attack patterns in this training. Starting from the attack of sharp feathers, wind attacks both with the existence of a vortex and without making a vortex at all, also a combination attack of sharp feathers and very deadly winds.

The accuracy of each attack that Ayu has is also very good so that all the attacks he does are not only strong, but also very accurate.

Special training on the second day is like a playground for Ayu. Very delightful. He can complete all his tasks very well and in the not too long period of time. This special training can be completed by Ayu even before lunch time arrives.

The teeeet……

“Congratulations Miss Ayu, you successfully completed the second area special training very well. Miss Ayu can take advantage of the remaining time to train independently.” Julia said from behind the loudspeaker.

Ayu was very happy. Ayu walked out of the training room with firm steps and a proud face.

After eating lunch, Ayu did self-training to maintain and improve his performance. The second day Ayu spent with some basic physical and breathing exercises.

Day Three, Ayu prepares to conduct the next special training, which is training to improve the survival skills of the women project members. Now Ayu has been in the third area special training room. He stood tall in the middle of the room and prepared himself to accept all the attacks that would be given.

In this third area, project members are only allowed to survive and receive all incoming attacks. No counter-attacks are allowed in any form.

Given the fight in the first area, Ayu was very confident in completing the special training this time around. He thought that his defensive ability was strong enough to overcome all the attacks that were to come. Then Ayu enveloped her entire body using both of her wings and was ready to receive all the attacks. He smiled proudly.

The first attack came and Arrghhh….

Ayu screamed loudly. The smile on his face turned into a ringing of pain.

Apparently the assumption is wrong. His wings were not strong enough to be able to defend themselves from the incoming attacks. Now his right arm was pierced by a sharp arrow and flowing fresh blood.

Shuts….

The back attack came, this time darting swiftly a sharp dagger. Ayu managed to avoid the attack. Not long after that came again a proper arrow leading to where Ayu was standing. Ayu managed to avoid it again. The attacks did not come simultaneously, but one by one with a time lag of approximately 5 seconds for each attack. But surprisingly, the next 5 seconds there was no attack.

“Nona Ayu, your task is here to defend yourself from all attacks, not avoid them.” Julia said from the loudspeaker.

“But if I don't dodge, it's tantamount to suicide, Sister Julia.” Ayu responded to Julia's words.

“You have to find a way to survive. For this reason, this training is done.” Julia.

Ayu fell silent and did not respond to the statement. He understood the purpose of this particular training, but in fact he did not have enough strength to defend himself.

“If you keep dodging, it means you have given up on becoming stronger.” Said Julia who saw Ayu speechless.

“I didn't give up. It's just that I don't know what to do.” Ayu.

“Training this time does not ask you to attack not without reason. We want you to be able to focus on using energy just to survive. You are not incapable, you just have not tried to expend all the energy you have to strengthen the defense.”

Ayu jerked. It's true what Julia just said. Ayu did not use all her energy to survive. He was used to dividing the energy he had to make defenses and make attacks. It was something he unconsciously did. Ayu also now understands that until now actually she has not managed her energy well.

“I understand. Let's try again Sister Julia.” Ayu.

“Alright, we'll start again. Prepare yourself miss.” Julia responded to Ayu's words.

Ayu quickly flapped her wings and covered her entire body.

“This time I will spend all my energy just to survive.” Thought Ayu.

Shortly thereafter, the attack returned. A sharp arrow attacked Ayu very quickly. Unlike the previous attack that Ayu was unable to stop and penetrate his wings to make his arm hurt, this time the arrow was successfully stopped and did not hurt Ayu's body at all. The arrow only slightly pierced through his energy wings.

Although the arrow was not stopped perfectly, at least Ayu still had hope of being able to continue to survive and complete this training.

Every 5 seconds an attack is returned. Ayu continuously maintains focus and concentrates to be able to stop all attacks. If he had lost the slightest focus in controlling his energy, then it was certain that a sharp arrow and dagger would have hit his body again.

An hour, two hours, three hours passed until it was time to rest.

Teeeit….. “Training terminated. Time to rest.” Darma.

“Ayu, time to rest.” Said Darma who saw Ayu still continued to pull out his wings to defend. But Ayu did not give the slightest response.

“While, I'll approach him.” Julia. Then he quickly ran towards the training room of the third area.

It didn't take long for Julia to get to the room. Now he was right in front of Ayu.

“What's Julia?” Ask Darma from behind the loudspeaker.

“Check lost consciousness. His subconscious is now controlling the energy to keep his defenses.” Julia gave an explanation.

“That's impossible.” Darma responds to Julia.

“That might have happened if Ayu had a past trauma that still imprints to this day. His body was already exhausted, his energy was drained just to endure, plus any possible past traumas

affects mentally. This makes his subconscious self-defense even when he loses consciousness like this time.” Julia.

“Then what should we do?” ask Darma.

“Calm down, this is not a serious problem.” Julia responded calmly.

Julia took out an energy root and wrapped around Ayu's body which was still protected by her wings. The roots of the energy shackled Ayu's power until finally both wings disappeared.

Then Julia takes out pollen particles to recover Ayu's psychic who may be currently being disturbed. Along with this, Julia retrieves the medical boxes stored in each room. He whipped out the arrow that was still piercing Ayu's arm, then cleaned and treated her wound very skillfully.

Julia again chose to treat the wound with a medical device rather than having to use her power. The strength Julia has is indeed very practical, but Julia does not want her team members to become dependent on her

his power at the moment. Julia will only use her powers if the injuries are serious and life threatening to her team members.

Not long after that Ayu was conscious and surprised to see Julia was taking care of him.

“What happened to Julia?” ask Ayu astonished.

“No serious problem miss. You were just exhausted and unconscious. But thank goodness you weren't hurt when you lost consciousness.” Julia.

“How is your body doing? Can you continue training?” Ask Julia.

“Of course, I will never give up.” Ayu responded with a smile.

“Alright, if so you just need a short break to recover energy.” Julia returned Ayu's smile.

“I go first miss. Food has been prepared, please eat and rest for a moment.” Julia said as she left the training room.

Right in front of the exit, Julia stopped her steps and turned to face Ayu.

“Nona Ayu, do you only have wings to last?” Julia smiled and stepped out.

Julia's question again made Ayu flinch. Until recently Ayu thought that her wings were a shield she could use to defend. But Julia's question made her change that mindset. He realized that when the first area fight took place, it was his whirlwind that stopped all the engine attacks in the final moments of the fight. Because of that wind vortex he was also able to compensate for the sword force of the wooden puppet. Also due to the wind that was in his hands, Ayu was able to survive any fatal attack carried out by the wooden puppets.

This made him impatient to continue his training. But he doesn't want to rush. He still needed to rest to restore his energy.

After lunch and rest. Training has begun.

Without further ado, Ayu spread her wings and re-enveloped her body. He did it just in case. Then Ayu made a whirlwind and made her body as a shaft.

“The wind whirl I used to make was designed to be able to carry out deadly attacks. Then how to make this wind as a protector?” think Ayu.

Again Ayu remembered the power that Julia had.

“A dome? Alright I'll try.” Her thought.

Ayu was trying to manipulate the wind. He makes a smoother vortex and changes its shape into a dome just like Julia's protective dome.

Ayu does mimic the form of manipulation done by Julia. However he made modifications and created his own energy characteristics. Ayu managed to make a dome from the whirlwind that rotated very quickly. The wind vortex on the dome belonging to Ayu is so smooth that it is not visible at all if the dome is actually a wind that is rotating quickly.

Now Ayu only had to wait for the attack to come. Not long after that an arrow shot rapidly towards him. Ayu strengthened her wings out of fear that her wind dome was not strong enough to stop the arrow.

Draaac….

The arrow that had attacked was broken and shattered when it collided with the wind dome. Ayu was surprised and did not expect that his wind dome turned out to be very strong. Not only durability, the wind dome also had incredible destruction power.

Ayu smiled with relief and pride.
