Rama and the Lost Art of Martialism
Finding Isabella In An Abandoned Building

First person point of view, Rama.

After our party was officially formed, the next day I, Nyx and Renia went to look for the whereabouts of Princess Isabella. We found him as quickly as possible, worried about his circumstances.

"Great!"

Renia.

"What's up, Renia?"

Ask Nyx.

"I can't sense his Mana aura!"

"Last time, I felt it was around here."

"But now, his Mana is suddenly gone!"

Answer Renia.

Renia is a magician with sensory abilities. It was only natural for him to panic, because now the Mana energy possessed by Isabella had suddenly disappeared.

"We're splitting!"

I said to Nyx and Renia.

The two of them then nodded in agreement. 

"Where are you, Isabela?!"

I said while running to find him.

"If only I had sensory abilities, it would probably be much easier to look for them!"

Say my annoyance in heart.

"But, Renia alone who has sensory abilities, could lose track of it."

Continue my words in my heart.

I then recalled Renia's words about sensory abilities.

"Sensory is a unique ability, where the user can feel the existence of magic energy of people around him.

"This ability has more advantages, in addition to being used for fighting. This ability can also be used to detect threats, because it is related to the human sense."

Renia said in my memory.

"Wantas, how do I activate it?"

I asked Renia.

"Hemmm .. Difficult to explain. However, the concept is similar to a bat releasing an ultrasonic wave."

Answer Renia.

"You mean collocation?"

I asked Renia.

Explanation: Echolocation is the ability of some living things, such as bats and dolphins, to use sound waves or other reflected waves (echos) from surrounding objects to detect and identify locations, such as, the size, shape, and movement of the object. It is an important mechanism that helps these creatures orient, hunt, and communicate within their environment. Creatures with echolocation abilities can "see" their environment through reflected sound, similar to how radar or sonar works in human technology.

"If bats use sound waves, then we as magicians use the Mana energy we have!"

"Precipulating it into a Mana wave."

"When these energy waves come back to us, that's when we can detect both size, shape, location and movement around us."

Continue Renia's words to me.

Conscious of his theory, I then tried to put it into practice.

First, I'm concentrating. Second, gather my Mana energy and collect it in my right palm. Third, practice.

My Mana energy seemed to be darting away quickly, and it instantly returned to me but not at the same speed.

"I can!"

I said with certainty.

Once I was sure I could, I then repeatedly used this sensory ability.

Even so, I am aware of the weakness of this ability.

Namely, the distance from this ability is quite limited, probably only 50 meters. The further, the less obvious. And I had to concentrate more, in order to distinguish things from each other.

The second disadvantage is that it cannot detect one's magic energy 100% accurately, and it can only detect it on its surface. If a magician had the ability to conceal his presence, both his physique and his magic energy, then He would definitely get away with it easily. Even though I use this ability.

The third and final weakness is that it is difficult to understand for people who are just activating it. Given, if there are two or three objects that have the same characteristics, it will definitely be difficult to distinguish them. However, the weakness of this third point can be overcome, if the user knows very well what He will track.

Even so, the sensory abilities inspired by echolocation of bats is quite great. Given that everyone who was in a state of being ready to fight would definitely not deactivate his Mana energy.

Soon enough, I realized the location of Princess Isabella. Who was in a broken building abandoned.

"Either the Mana energy is exactly the same, supported by the height and texture of the body that is close to the original."

I said with certainty

I then reached Isabella's place of existence. Looking around, it was true that there were abandoned empty buildings.

Get inside, it's so dark. The floor of the building seems to be filled with moss and also wild grass, the walls of the building are filled with graffiti and also damaged by age.

"What is this wake up? Mental hospital?"

Mumbles.

Gumamku.

Tracing every room, there was no presence of Isabella. However, I did not give up and continued my search.

Suddenly, I heard a footprint. Which is getting closer to me. Preparing for the enemy's attack, I then mounted the horses to fight.

"Tak .. tak .. tak .. tak … "

The sound of footsteps drew closer, and then stopped suddenly.

A feeling of fear then enveloped me, as I gulped and trembled, I cried out to whoever was now watching me.

"Get out!"

"I'm not afraid!"

My yelling.

Suddenly, a voice spoke my name from behind.

"Rama?"

"Yeah!!!"

"Devil!!!"

I screamed in panic and then ran away.

I don't know where I ran, but all I thought about at the time was a spooky ghost.

"How can there be demons in Isekai?!"

I said while running.

"Wait, wasn't it all this time .. I met kuntilanak and Buto ijo, yeah?"

I continued to say that then stopped running.

The voice that called me was then heard again. But now he asked me to stop.

"Stop, Rama!"

I suddenly ran back with all my might, ignoring the voice either from people or demons.

"If it wasn't a ghost .. why would he know my name?!"

I said while running back.

Long story short, I then stopped and took a breath, tired of running from earlier.

"Looks ... He didn't pursue … "

Saying while huffing.

Suddenly, there was a hand holding my shoulder. Shocked by it, I knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Please forgive me, the ghostly figure of this building."

My speech.

"Hahaha, what the fuck is this about you?"

I then saw it, it turns out that the figure I consider a ghost is Isabella.

"Not funny to know!"

Shouted my annoyance at him.

He was seen laughing out loud because of my behavior that was afraid of ghosts. However, his laughter immediately stopped and asked about the one who came here.

"What are you here for?"

"Aren't you happy with Renia?"

He said while throwing his face away.

"It's been 3 days I haven't seen you, of course I'm worried."

I answered Isabella.

"What have you been eating all this time, Isabella?"

Tanyaku return.

"No need to worry about me, I'm happy here anyway!"

Say it with a firm tone.

"Here, there are people who are more concerned about me."

Continue his words while smiling.

"Huh, where?"

I asked Isabella.

"Are you blind, he's from behind you!"

Answer it firmly.

Looking back, no one he said was standing behind me. There was only a dark hallway of the building.

Seriate.
