The Eternal War Kasarewang
Testing (2)

Harsa held back the formskitter bite with her arm. The physis he was wearing to protect himself was drained from the poison, then smashed the jacket and stung his skin. Harsa blasts her own physis into a fire element. With agile formskitter it flew avoiding the burst of flames from Harsa's body. He circled the sky looking for a crack where he could injure Harsa.

Harsa smiled widely. This time, he had other techniques besides covering himself with fire. He punched upwards, throwing some basketball-sized fireballs at the formskitter. The black bat flew away avoiding the fireballs, but could not survive a single fireball burning next to its wings. Formskitter's falling down. Hasa was ready to launch her fire blow with all her might, but the formskitter changed shape into an orangutan. Harsa's voice hit the empty air next to his face. A bright yellow hot burst of flames shot out from his hand, making a huge crater a hundred meters ahead, yet not injuring the formskitter at all.

“Ahh, what a pity.” Adi's comments on the back.

Harsa could feel the physis inside her reduced by half. Formskitter was salto backwards, then started punching Harsa many times. Harsa pushed back. He protects his body physis and withstands the tangles. The speed of the formskitter was invisible to Harsa, but his body recalled the defensive movements of the martial arts taught by Barasa. Each blow from the black monkey was covered in physis as well, so Harsa had to cover her body with physis again and again. Otherwise, his body could be destroyed by physis.

His physis reserves in him were drastically reduced, while his vassal was still exhausted from opening his Kai wide just now. Cold sweat started flooding in when he imagined what would happen if there were no more physis in his body to protect him from the attacks of the formskitter. Now, Harsa understands why Adi requires her to learn to absorb the physis. If he could not absorb the physis, when his physiology ran out he would die from a deadly formskitter attack.

Harsa absorbed the physis in panic. Its divided concentration between absorbing physis and resisting formskitter attacks, coupled with its half-and-half ability, Harsa's absorption of physis was completely ineffective.

Dodge to the left, then protect the right abdomen. His body was moved driven by an instinct to survive. Harsa's entire adrenaline rush came out as second after second he continued to face the death line.

“Hei?! You okay?” adi started to worry.

“Argghh!” Harsa screamed to release her adrenaline. He jumped back as far as possible from the formskiter. His hands and feet were hot as they moved so fast. The ground left two lines as his legs were dragged backwards as he continued to try to stand on both feet.

The formskitter didn't give Harsa a chance to collect the physis. With his remaining physis, Harsa deployed it to become a hot fire sword sticking out of his hand. He concentrated on raising his fire temperature, as he secretly experimented with in the magic club. The color of the sword of fire turned white, with tongues of blue flames on the edge. The sword now looked like a white laser emitting blue flames in each of its slashes. Harsa left the physis for both of her legs to jump forward at high speed.

Middle point formskitter. Harsa concentrates on finding where the formskitter weak points are, aka their cores. With one slash class, he slashed the formskitter's body into the middle. His fire sword felt an impact with a hard crital. Although it was heavy, his hand managed to crack the core. Releasing all the physis he held in the sword, he blasted the formskitter's body with fire, smashing the core into pieces. The rest of the formskitter's body burned away, without regenerating.

Harsa was coughed up by the smoke of his own fire that burned the grasses of the valley. Without protecting her body with physis, Harsa's right arm was burned, and her school uniform was also ablaze with flames.

“Ohok! Haahh, haahh Ohok!” Harsa's entire body screamed in exhaustion like he had just ran a ten-round ball field. He fell to his knees holding his body with both hands and feet. He had trouble regulating his breath while breathing in the smoke from his burning fire. His entire physis was over. Now, he could no longer stand on the edge of the Spirit World.

Adi comes and extinguishes the remnants of the fire that is now beyond Harsa's control. He lit his ring again, then his slender sword disappeared. “Good work.”

Harsa turned around with a confident smile. “Of course.”

Eyebrow Adi. He was really surprised. He did not expect Harsa would reply with Kasarewang language. “You ---------------------.”

The smile of Harsa is gone. “I haven't been that universal.”

“You can too, but it seems like you have to learn a lot more. Especially your hearing.” Adi said as she extended her hand.

Harsa. “Cannot. I don't even have a physis to stand.”

“What you did was a danger. Take out your physis until there's nothing left to protect yourself. If only the formskitter core was not destroyed in one attack, you could die in the next attack.” Adi's Advice. “You must learn to absorb physis while fighting. I'm very tense to see how you fight, or you have to learn to open Kai many times in the near future.”

“Sorry.” Harsa said without guilt. “What matters is that I managed to beat formskitter, right?”

Adi shook his head filled with worry. “For this time.” However, he immediately smiled again. “But, I must admit, your progress is rapid for one month size.”

Harsa smiled with satisfaction. All his lessons about magic were used in this fight. As Adi said, he had made a lot of progress and Harsa was fully aware of it. Satisfaction paid for all his hard work during this month. “Hehe.” He laughed happily.

“Sorry. Even now I don't have a physis to light my aura.” Harsa. “Maybe it will take a few more minutes for me to stand.”

Adi sighed and carried Harsa on his back. He opens the hood to the Material World and Adi puts Harsa on the sofa of the house. Darma, who was just about to receive a patient, turned around to see Harsa hurt.

“Okay, Sa!! Oh, geez. You why, until gini wound.” Darma swiftly carrying P3K equipment. He stopped his consultation and immediately helped Harsa.

“Aaahh.” Harsa screamed in pain as Darma began to clean her wounds with alcohol.

Adi could not help his laughter. “Just scratched a little.”

“Sick!!” Harsa Protests. “Sister Adi can't heal me?”

Adi raised his ring. “Do not. The mantra in my ring serves to accelerate the healing of the body that can reduce the length of life. Make Kasawerang no problem because we yaaa, eternal, but if you, better make an emergency only.”

“Tadi how?” erik asked Adi.

“Ya, passable. He can deal with it himself but it takes practice until I don't have to worry anymore.” Report Adi. “Oh, yes. I just found out you can make a fire sword like that.” Adi Reveal.

Despite being in pain, Harsa was still able to smile. “Hehe. I practiced it at school with a friend who can magic.”

“The friend you said could change that element?” Adi ensure.

“Yes. Now he can order physis also.” Then recounted the demonstration Aster showed him.

Adi's eyes widened again in surprise. Harsa thought only Adi was shocked, but as it turned out, Erik was also surprised. “Wow. I heard from my friend who took the Human Studies course, a handful of humans can master magic if they have close experience with magic, but they also have no affinity. So, they had to learn magic from the beginning. Mostly, they bewitch by changing elements. Or if you are experienced, order a physis in the environment.” Adi said explaining with a puffed up chest.

“Iya, I've heard from Erik before.” Harsa said, deliberately so that Adi is not arrogant, he said,

“But when it comes to humans creating such a physi backup, it's also new to me.” Erik's Response.

“Hmm. Humans who can bewitch and create physis reserves?” Adi wondered to herself with a wrinkled face. “I'm curious.”

“Kak Adi wants to meet him?”

“Hmm, maybe if I have a holiday.” Adi said, trying to hide her curiosity. “Ya, already. When it's done I'll be back next week to teach you again.” Without waiting for Harsa's answer, Adi disappears to the Edge of the Spirit World.

After that, Darma breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at her child with a worried face.

“Nothing, Ma. I'll be as strong as Adi's sister until mama doesn't have to worry anymore.” Harsa said calming. “Next week also I will study magic seriously.”

Darma smiled sweetly at Harsa's promise, but the answer that came out of her mouth was very practical. “Don't forget to learn your UTS too.”
