178 - Training the Limits of Strength.

"What are your plans after this?" ask Uncle Elvano

"If, Uncle himself ... have any plans after this?" ask Raisa

"I asked you a question and you asked me back?" uncle Elvano asked, astonished.

"I mean ... If Uncle has time, will Uncle train me in the sword?" raisa asked.

"Now? Are you able to train when you're just recovering?" ask Uncle Elvano

"I can! Exercise can make my body become stronger, it is also good for recovery as long as it is not excessive" Raisa replied

"If Uncle can, wait for me where you used to train Aqila and Morgan. I'll follow you there after taking my sword home. Wait for me, yes, Uncle. I will try to hurry," continued Raisa who immediately rushed to her house.

"Don't run! Careful, you've just recovered!" squealed to Uncle Elvano in vain.

"I still haven't agreed to it!" muttered Uncle Elvano who saw Raisa running quickly.

Upon arriving at home, Raisa immediately searched and retrieved her sword.

..."Luckily, I kept this sword at home!" inner Raisa...

Because if only, Raisa kept her sword inside her magic storage space dimension, maybe her sword would disappear along with the loss of her magic ability. Like the Phoenix inside him.

Raisa still regretted it for inadvertently making the existence of the rare Phoenix disappear with the loss of all her abilities and magic power.

After finding her sword, Raisa also took the sword to the training ground in a hurry so as not to make Uncle Elvano bored for too long waiting for him.

Raisa got to the training ground with breath gasping. He looked around, there was no whereabouts of Uncle Elvano.

"Uncle Elvano, still hasn't come or hasn't come, huh?" raisa muttered wondering.

"I've been waiting for you here, who said I didn't come" said Uncle Elvano

It turned out, Uncle Elvano was already there. However, it was waiting while leaning behind the tree that was there.

Raisa is smiling too.

"Uncle, I'm ready to practice!" raisa said excitedly even though her breath was still beheaded.

"Are you really sure you can train under these conditions? What's more you just recovered not long ago, right?" ask Uncle Elvano

"Of course, I'm sure! I recovered and continued to train. I just need to catch my breath for a second. If you're determined, there's nothing you can't do" Raisa replied

"alright. Seeing your persistence and earnestness, I will train you. Take a break, then warm up. After that, just practice the sword," said Uncle Elvano

"good. Thank you, Master!" obedient Raisa

Raisa will call Uncle Elvano as Master during her training.

Raisa took a break to stabilize her breath. After that, warm up like Master Elvano said and start practicing together.

"Refrase your posture again! You've just recovered, so your posture is weakened. You have to try again from the beginning" said Uncle Elvano

"It's okay, Teacher. I admit my body was weakened because of my previous condition, but if I continue to be trained it can be strong again. For that, I'm training with you now" Raisa said

"Good spirit! If it continues like this, you can immediately practice sparring," said Uncle Elvano

"REally!?" ask Raisa

"Yes. You can try it later. If the results are not good, you can repeat the sword practice from the beginning, just try the match practice again" replied Uncle Elvano

"Good!" obedient Raisa

"You're sure, if there's any determination then it can do anything, right? So, you can do it! Keep trying and stay excited!" said Uncle Elvano

"Of course" said Raisa

After quite a long time practicing the sword technique, Uncle Elvano told Raisa to take a break.

"Enough, rest first" said Uncle Elvano

"Good, Teacher!" obedient Raisa

Raisa stopped her movements and put the sword in her protective sheath. Raisa also sits just anywhere on the grass to relieve fatigue.

Uncle Elvano sat down next to him.

"You're practicing. Did you bring food?" uncle Elvano asked.

"I was in a hurry, other than taking the sword, I didn't bring anything back home, but I always brought drinking water from the beginning" Raisa replied

Raisa also took out a water bottle from the bag she always carried.

"Uncle, would you like a drink, too?" tanya Raisa offered after opening the lid of her drinking bottle.

"If it's drinking water, I have it too" said Uncle Elvano

"Oh, all right," Raisa briefed

Raisa also drank water from her bottle.

"If I bring food. Would Uncle accept it if I offered? Then, I should have brought some food as well" Raisa said

"Not really. I don't like taking someone else's property" said Uncle Elvano

"What's taking someone else's property? Kan, I offered it. Well then, if next time I offer food, Uncle should accept it, yes ." Raisa said.

"Then, alright," said Uncle Elvano

Raisa smiles.

"Raisa, are you having trouble with Rumi?" ask Uncle Elvano

"At that time, I was talking to Aunt Sierra. Uncle, hear it, yes .. " said Raisa

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but you were talking out in the open and I happened to come" said Uncle Elvano

"It's okay. I am not angry and I have no right to be angry. Instead, I want to ask you something" said Raisa

"Want to ask what, just ask" said Uncle Elvano

"Did Uncle love Aunt Sierra?" ask Raisa

"No. This is too personal, although what I will ask next is also a personal matter. What was it like after being able to unite with Aunt Sierra? That is, right, Uncle used to make him wait a long time, but finally Aunt Sierra would accept Uncle. How did Uncle feel then?" Raisa chose to change the question.

"Ah, no! Nevermind, Uncle. I'm so impressed to interfere and pretentious about your personal matters. I am indeed slurping. I'm just worried about overdoing it. I used to be weak, so now I feel like this" raced Raisa

"I love him, but I'm worried. It's like, I love her, but suspect a third person. The third person is my worry. Yeah, right? So stupid!" raisa's mumbling

"People like to act stupid sometimes, so there is always someone else who will make it happen. Women are created with a weak personality, so there are men who are created to be on his side and will complement each other ", said Uncle Elvano

"really. I'm a weak person and worried about being misguided, so I need a hint from someone else, but still I worry about being deceived after asking and getting a hint from someone else. I'm an unconfident, useless person!" said Raisa

"If you're worried, you can stop. It is not easy to trust others just like that, so you just need to follow your heart and be a little more courageous. Or let it all go as it is. There will always be a way" said Uncle Elvano

"Speaking is easy, but still everything feels difficult and heavy" said Raisa

"You want to know, how I felt when Sierra was willing to accept me who had many flaws and had kept him waiting for a long time? At that time, I just felt lucky! Maybe you'll have the same luck I felt one day. Because as I know, this luck is always with you .. " Uncle Elvano said.

"Right now is a fortune for me to be able to chat like this with Uncle. Thank you!" said Raisa

"You're exaggerating" said Uncle Elvano

Raisa smiled happily.

"Just like this, are you happy?" astonished Uncle Elvano asked.

"of course! I have admired you for a long time! You probably heard it a lot. You're a handsome man even though you're no longer young. Yeah, but not too old, anyway. People who do not know you may think you have not married aka still single and women must be chasing you also judge you" said Raisa

"You admire me just because I look good to you?" ask Uncle Elvano

"You haven't said it yet, know where I'd be lazy to hear you from? But, it's up to you" said Uncle Elvano

"Uncle, I wish I could be close to you. With everyone here too, anyway. Thank you for being so caring to me, when all I know is that you're a cold person. That's why I said I'm lucky right now" Raisa said

"Then, will I hug you?" haggard Uncle Elvano asked.

"Why suddenly? Maybe it will be uncomfortable, not necessary," Raisa said

Despite her offer of rejection, Uncle Elvano pulls Raisa's arm and hugs her body.

"Who would feel uncomfortable? You or me? Kan, I offered it, so just accept it," said Uncle Elvano

Raisa was surprised. However, it slowly returned Uncle Elvano's embrace.

"It must have been hard when you were away from the family you are today. When you get home, I hope you can enjoy your time with them. Don't worry about it here because everything will be fine" Uncle Elvano said

Apparently, Uncle Elvano was comforting Raisa.

"When Rumi had hugged me like this to comfort me. But, it turns out I still feel less and feel very comfortable when you do it for me. Thank you very much, Uncle Elvano!" said Raisa who was secretly shedding tears.

Uncle Elvano let go of his embrace. At that moment, Raisa wiped her tears quickly.

"You think we're all here, your family too, we're the same. Nathan, even said you were a part of us. So, no need to hesitate "said Uncle Elvano

Raisa nodded.

"Today's training is enough. End it. Tomorrow you can come back to practice at the same time as today. Then, if you want to go home, just say so. I'll open a magic portal for you" said Uncle Elvano

Raisa nodded again.

"Thank you so much for today, Uncle. See you soon! I go first .. " said Raisa

Raisa got up and left from there.

Next day.

As Uncle Elvano said, today Raisa returned to training with him.

This time, as a warm-up, Raisa was also asked to practice aiming at the target using a dagger. At that time, Raisa could do well. His ability to aim is still the same as before which means Raisa has indeed completely recovered.

"Good! Your moves are correct. It means you're completely recovered now" said Uncle Elvano

"I told you, a lot of good training for my recovery" Raisa said

Just then, Aqila came.

"Papa, I'm looking for you. As it turns out, you are training Raisa here . " said Aqila.

"Aqila, when did you get back from the mission?" ask Raisa

"Yesterday. We just dropped off and took the Village Leader's reply letter to Batu Village" explained Aqila

"What are you looking for me for, Aqila?" ask Uncle Elvano

"Actually, I also want to train with you, Papa," Aqila said

"Then, Uncle trained Aqila alone. I can practice next time" Raisa said

"You two just train together" said Uncle Elvano

"But, Aqila, would have wanted to practice different things with me" elak Raisa

Because of what Raisa knew, Aqila definitely wanted to practice her magic skills with her Uncle Elvano, her Papa.

"Not really. Come on, train with me, Raisa," said Aqila

Raisa nodded in agreement to accept Aqila's offer to train together. This is an opportunity not to be missed.

"Train to fight without weapons" said Uncle Elvano

"Fight? Papa's sure?" asked Aqila who was feeling doubtful.

Uncle Elvano nodded.

"It's okay, Aqila. You can also use your magic skills on me. I want to know the limits of my current strength, so just do it" Raisa said

Raisa was conscious and knew the reason Aqila felt doubtful. That was because the one who became his opponent was Raisa who had just recovered from illness. It's like an unequal match, though, but Raisa accepts him bravely under the pretext of wanting to know the limits of his strength when he no longer has magic ability so that when facing the original fight he can overcome it with all the power he has without having to force himself.

"All right," said Aqila

Raisa and Aqila were prepared in a position to fight each other.

To be able to fight Aqila who was superior to her, Raisa had to use her wits. But instead, he did not want to use reason. That is to say not thinking about anything while fighting is the right thing.

Aqila was a magic user who could make her predict the opponent's movements. Movement was controlled by the mind, that was why Raisa chose not to think anything during the fight as her battle tactic. The goal was for Aqila to be unable to predict his movements. Either the plan will work or not and will how the fight between the two later...

"Start!"

With a single cue from Uncle Elvano, Aqila and Raisa started to fight.

At the beginning of the fight, the two look to balance each other without any intention of attacking seriously.

Just then Aqila realized that Raisa was waiting for him to lead her to fight more seriously.

"So, Raisa said she wanted to know the limits of her powers. Then it should be me who attacks him first seriously!" inner Aqila

Aqila also started to activate her magic and intended to read Raisa's movements. Raisa realizes that Aqila is getting serious with her. But he still thought nothing. Aqila also felt strange when she could not predict a single move of Raisa.

When Aqila attacked, Raisa could easily counterattack or break her attack. Aqila did not want to give up, she tried to test Raisa's attack with a more serious attack. However, Raisa remained calm.

If, Aqila attacked fiercely like a burning fire, Raisa attacked gently and quietly like flowing water~

Aqila felt astonished by Raisa who looked undaunted in the least. Not that he underestimated Raisa, but what was seen in his eyes now was Raisa who seemed not to feel worried or vigilant even once. Not even a little! And Aqila still could not predict Raisa's movements.

"Enough! You two back off!" said Uncle Elvano

Fighting stopped!

Both of them stepped back and ended the fight.

When the fight ended, Raisa and Aqila both set their breaths.

"Aqila, Papa has taught you how to sword, hasn't he?" ask Uncle Elvano

Aqila nodded quickly.

"Then fight Raisa with Papa's sword" said Uncle Elvano who threw his sword at Aqila.

Aqila also caught the sword that Uncle Elvano gave her with a single catch!

"But, Uncle Elvano .. The last time Aqila practiced that sword was long ago. Would it be fine to fight without training again first?" hesitating Raisa asked.

"Did you underestimate Aqila, Raisa?" ask back Uncle Elvano.

"Of course, no" answered Raisa

"Then lift up your sword! Fight Aqila!" said Uncle Elvano

Raisa also nodded obediently.

Raisa also raised her sword and faced Aqila...

Aqila raised the sword in her hand.
