The Newbie Is Too Strong's
159. Continuing Training with Princess Silvia
“You can't do it yet, Luca?”
A look of disappointment was on Silvia's face as soon as she realized that I did not understand her direction at all.
“Sorry, Brother. It's still very hard for me to do it. Even though I can finally feel mana, it is still very difficult for me to control the flow.”
“It's true too. Different from games where you can get guidance from the system, in fact you have to feel it manually.”
Seemed Brother Silvia dissolved himself will explain his justification.
“Listen yes, Luca. The flow of mana is like the chewing gum that you freely form as you please. The most important thing is your imagination. I-ma-ji-na-si.”
“…”
Frankly, I cannot respond to the explanation of Silvia's sister about me not understanding at all.
I saw Brother Silvia also sighed and then moved into the room. Once back out, he appeared to be carrying a flat tool in the shape of a millimetre with a strange pattern that looked made of very black stone.
“First of all, let's see what kind of mana-you, Luca. Hold this thing.”
I also followed the direction of Silvia's sister by holding a flat object with a millimetre. I see, the part that says light shines brightly, while the part that says fire and water shines weakly, while the one that says earth and water only shines a little or can be said not to shine at all.
“Umu. So, your basic element is light huh, Luca. But it seems you have the potential to learn all the elements. It's very good.”
Brother Silvia also looked closely at me from the tip of the hair to the tip of the head.
His sight makes me nervous, though, but clearly I know that the view addressed by Brother Silvia was clearly different from the view of fashionable aunts who often cross paths with me type in the streets with Egi.
But out of curiosity, I asked, “Is something wrong, Brother Silvia?”
“Hmm.” Brother Silvia just shook her head.
“First of all, let's think of a light coming out of the pore cleft of your hand and collecting it over your palm, Luca. Like this.”
Silvia simulated and I could see the air clump forming a perfectly round ball over her hand.
“But in my case, this is an air element because my highest affinity is with air. Now it's your turn to try, Luca, with your light element” Silvia explained.
“Feel mana as a stream. Like drawing water in a river, take a little by little pile of mana for you to control. Imagine him like a piece of gum that you can shape at will.”
And, I finally managed to do it.
“Good, Luca. Already I thought you were a clever student.”
“Hehehehehe.”
I laughed with pleasure at Silvia's praise.
“Well, as a later stage, rather than forming that gum as a ball, imagine covering it thinly all over your body. The principle is still the same, like drawing water in the river.”
However, until nightfall. I was completely incapable of doing that second phase. That's how my day ended with Silvia. Brother Silvia also reminded me to keep trying to practice this second phase until I can at home.
In the evening, instead of playing games, I meditated in my room to practice the second phase.
There was nothing more I needed to worry about in the game because both Chika, Diana, Kak Nina, and Kak Raia had been able to take care of their respective training.
Maybe because that day I was absent in the game, Sister Nina banged on my room door. Since there was no answer I gave, I saw Brother Nina opening the door of my room, but as soon as I saw that I was bare-chested and wearing only a mini boxer, Nina immediately closed the door again saying, So, I can't help but say,
“Jeez, Luca! What are you doing?!” Or something.
And then just run down.
“Master, what are you doing?” It was Aura.
“Practice aura.” My answer was short on the question.
“Train myself?”
“Not, no. That is to say, I was practicing taking out mana in the form of aura.”
“Oh, then let me help you, Master.”
Long story short, Aura in the form of a hologram touched my back. I don't know why our minds shared with each other. I can stare at the flow of mana in view of a more universal understanding.
As if I could instantly understand the concept, with the help of Aura making me able to hold mana better, I was more able to control the aura.
Little by little but surely, the flow of mana I could channel all over the surface of my body. Thanks to Aura's help, that same night I managed to master the aura technique.
.

.
My training continued with him and how Silvia was also happy to know that I was finally able to master the aura technique. Then, we began to practice match again with an increased intensity of attack.
Beyond my expectations, Brother Silvia is very good at martial arts, even very great to the point that I feel very superior in this close combat even without my dagger, successfully battered by him.
For only three hours I trained with my bare hands with Brother Silvia, but my body was so tired that I could no longer afford to continue.
The training ended an hour earlier due to my lack of stamina. It's a shame for a veteran fighter like me. This was because ever since arriving in the real world, I rarely did basic training anymore. Anyway, starting tonight, I have to back-forsir my training to the maximum level.
Day by day passed.
My training with Brother Silvia seemed to be going well.
In the evening, I applied that training by completing various quests on the orders of the Emperor Brother, but again and again, it was a zombie matter. It's really inefficient for an agility-type fighter like me to deal with slow zombies.
In the game, I also took the time to meet with Uncle Heisel who looks like I have rarely met about Uncle Heisel who is busy with his quest in the Melodia Kingdom.
The moment I met him, how I saw Uncle Heisel hugging me while shedding tears happily. It might seem like an exaggerated scene to those who saw it, but I was the one who knew best that Uncle Heisel was serious. Apparently, something was stuck in his mind.
However, no matter how much I tried to extract information from him, he kept it a secret to me. I don't want to, I'll investigate this later on alone.
Arriving on the fourth day of training, I was finally able to compensate for Brother Silvia's movements. But that's it, Brother Silvia's ability is still very far above me.
After thinking about it, I seem to need another match opponent whose ability is higher than me, but lower than Brother Silvia because if I directly face a high-level fighter like this, I will face a higher-level fighter like this, I can only be a moving punching bag.
It is necessary for me to close my level distance first with Kak Silvia's level by fighting someone whose level is at the realm between us.
But who?
Chika, Diana, Brother Nina, and Brother Raia are obviously impossible because their levels are so far below mine. Brother Andra is like that, even I have defeated him.
Uh, wait.
When is that again?
Oh, true. At that time we fought because I challenged Senior Asario, but he required to defeat Brother Andra first before I dared to challenge him.
Instantly I remembered a promise that someone seemed to have forgotten.
It looks interesting too. Now is the time to take back that promise.
***
In a place unknown to Luca.
“Oh, Princess. What do you do look panicked so?”
The long-eared figure that was none other than Princess Silvia's real body was walking quickly, suddenly intercepted by her own partner, Agnes.
“Ah, Lady Virus. It's nothing.”
“If it's nothing, you won't be that sweet. Just tell. Oh yes, many times I say that in this place, just call me by the name of Agnes.”
Princess Silvia seemed silent for a moment, looking to consider whether to tell Agnes this problem or not. But eventually, he decided to tell it.
“How about I say there are other children in the world outside here who turned out to have a higher synchronization rate than the inhabitants of the inner world, even higher than Shadow Monarch.”
“You mean Duke?! It was unlikely that there would still be anyone who could surpass the Duke's already passing synchronization rate of those two percent queens.”
“There is.”
“Who is it? Was he also taken care of by the inhabitants of the inner world like Duke? Is it true that there is a level of synchronization of the inhabitants of the outside world that is very beyond that limit with those who are cared for by people like us?”
“It feels like we've discussed it that who took care of it has nothing to do with it. After all the child was cared for by ordinary humans fellow inhabitants of the outside world.”
“So, who's the kid, Princess?”
Princess Silvia was silent for a moment while sighing.
“She's sister newbie us.”
“You mean by newbie sister, is she Luca?”
The princess simply nodded in silence responding to Agnes' extremely shocked face. He looked back into a device that looked like a body temperature checker. But of course it is not a body temperature checker, but rather a person's synchronization rate detector with mana.
And on the reading scale of the tool, Luca's synchronization rate shows a four hundred percent figure.
