Starting My New Life As An Adventurer
Samurai training begin! #4

(Day 9)

A new day of new experiences. Right now we have just left from home to our training ground. As usual, we brought supplies, water, katana and towels. I thought about my contract with the wind spirit and I'm sure I should tell him as soon as possible.

"Yuki-san, it seems like I can already summon the wind." I started the conversation while walking.

"Really, have you heard that practice fairy whisper?" He's making.

'exercise fairy whispers' I'm sure it's a method used to contract with spirits on normal humans. Luckily I didn't have to go through any of that because Iris was the go-between. But I better say it's been to make it easier.

"It was, last night to be exact."

"Oh, so that's why your room's a mess..." Yuki.

"Hehe, don't tell Kiara."

I put my palms together🙏.

"But I can't control it yet plus I can't just do it 5 times a day."

"Oh it's like that. I think after you've successfully summoned the wind it's time to learn to control it. If your chakras run out we can switch to physical exercise."

"What is Yuki-san's chakra?" I was curious because I just heard it.

"Cakra is the energy you need to perform the skill. Like this wind slash." He answers.

The energy needed to perform the moves, in other words is the same as MP. So the samurai called it Cakra. I'm not surprised anyway, they couldn't see what it was when they felt it so they named it themselves. Unlike me I already know his real name and how many points I have.

We arrived at the grassland where we usually were. Put the stuff down and Yuki immediately invites me to warm up for a few minutes.

After we finished Yuki immediately took the katana and immediately informed the training activities today.

"Alright, because you said you could create the wind. We won't do a slash like we used to do again. We'll focus on the wind control that's been called."

"Try doing the wind-calling process now and hold it for as long as possible before it gets out of control. I wonder how long you can hold it."

"All right!" I used the power of the wind spirit, instantly my MP was reduced by 4 and the wind wave surrounded my sword.

"Yes, hold it that way." Yuki cheers me on.

"Hnngghhhhhh" I had a hard time withstanding this increasingly fast wind.

.....

*boom!  The whirlwind blew off and exploded in all directions. I fell down exhausted.

" 10 seconds, you can hold it for about 10 seconds. Pretty good for the start, four more times today, right? Do it again, but this time try longer."

"All right...."

I started the second experiment. Yuki also asked me to continue until the last try. I ended up exhausted with a discernible development, The longest time I held it from the first five trials was 17 seconds.

"Alright, for today you are able to make another summoning, we will re-train your physical strength and balance."

The first type of new exercise was to tie the katana I was holding with a very heavy piece of wood. I was asked to swing the sword while lifting up this piece of wood. As usual 50 repetitions per set.

The second type of exercise is Yuki putting a book in the middle of the sword blade that I was holding she said hold it for as long as possible so as not to fall. I took it seriously many times and in the end I was able to control that the book would not fall from my sword blade in a much longer time than before.

(Day 10)

This method of training went smoothly, now I can hold the whirlwind for about 30 seconds and I can already adjust the speed a little.

In the last experiment I did it more stably and without difficulty. Before we got into physical exercise and balance we decided to take a break.

"Good work Hikaru, let's take a break." Yuki was sitting under a tree.

"I'll be right up." I tidied up the tools and immediately took a break.

As I sat down while enjoying my lunch the iris appeared with its new notification.

- HP: +20

-MP: +12

- Stamina: +10

- Speed: +10

-Damage: +5

-aura: +5

-Instinct: +5

"Even my HP has increased by 20 points, and the others have also included many."

"You also managed to gain new skills. Here are the details."

Elementalist I: makes you 5% easier to control elements.

Windblade: Creates a sharp whirlwind around the blade.

"As a closing you also get +1 skill points."

"Thank you for the iris information, I'll try it later."

"All reports are complete."

....

Well analysis, dealing with spirits made me get elementalist skills even though the percentages were still very small and almost tasteless but a small buff like this was quite helpful in the development of my controlling practice.

And also this windblade is just like what I was studying with Yuki. Making wind vortex around katana. But since this has been registered as a skill means that I can directly use it without having to control the wind in order to spin manually.

But if I see again this windblade skill is different from my other skills. There are no numbers beside it. What does it mean that it cannot be increased?

"Jawab, if a skill does not have a number next to it then that means the way it is improved is based on the owner. The stronger the owner the stronger the skill." Iris answered."

"So I just need to focus on increasing my strength then this skill will be getting stronger, well that's easy."

"In addition to informa..." Iris stopped talking.

"Oyy, Hikaru." Yuki patted my shoulder.

"Ohh, I'm sorry Yuki-san I daydream."

"I've seen it a lot but you like to daydream."  Yuki sighed.

Huhh I was surprised earlier, yes sometimes when I talk to the iris I forget to be around me and I look like daydreaming.

"Sorry Yuki-san." I held the back of my head.

"It's okay, but try not to daydream during practice. I'm afraid you could get hurt."

"I understand." I swiftly nodded my head.

"Well let's continue our training."

We continue our training. Exercise lifting katana tied with wood and exercise keep the balance of the book in the middle of the katana blade. Strength and balance. As Yuki said, this is the key to mastering the skills that I am currently learning Kamaitachi.

1..2..3.4. I can now swing a sword that is being tied with wood like swinging an ordinary sword. Thanks to my stamina and my body getting used to this all I finished it well

This second type of exercise is what I find more difficult myself. Sometimes Yuki replaces books with strange items that are more difficult to balance such as pencils, spoons and other objects. The better I am at balancing it he is currently also asking me to do it while running and maintaining position.

After everything was done, we went home. From this moment on our training begins to enter the middle stage.
