Cross Dressing In A Fantasy World Full Of Magic-Chapter 166 Training Montage.
For these few weeks, all I had been doing was absorbing mana. My week has been extraordinarily dull, but the efficiency was perfect.
Besides that, I could now cover my body in mana, even in my sleep. Now I can defend against an attack from an unsuspecting person that could attack.
I was now halfway on my way to being the fourth rank. And by the end of this training, my progress would increased even more.
When I wasn't absorbing mana, I got to fight Cynthia. While she said she wasn't going to train me, she had changed her mind and wanted me to win, just in case.
This was my first time fighting someone that could outclass me in anything. Cynthia didn't use any fancy tricks like magic. After every thirty minutes, I would end up with a few bruises.
My adaptability was quite good. All these small mistakes that I had been making were now gone. My instinct had also sharpened while fighting Cynthia.
Serena has been doing imaginary training. With her magic, she needed to be more open-minded. She needed to use what she could as a disposal efficiently.
Other than that, Serena occasionally spars against the other four in usually a two on one or more. While her fighting style hasn't improved much, she was still growing at a steady pace. Serena's only problem is mana, which most people have problems with.
Next was Caren. She and Serena had gotten considerably close. Due to their similar magic, Cynthia had made them train together.
Like me was doing a lot of mana absorbing. But after a week of training, Caren had a significant magic upgrade.
By precisely controlling her mana and having a motive, she could only control the function of her magic. By doing so, random defensive magic will be activated if she thinks of defending an attack. And if she wanted to attack, she would have to think of attacking. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
While it was still random, it was still a vast improvement compared to her from a week ago. Besides that, she would practice her magic until she used it all.
As for Noelle, she had opened up to all of us. While she was quiet and expressionless, she was less cold toward all of us.
Cynthia had Noelle create a finisher for her most decisive attack. If Noelle lacked something, then it would be her firepower.
After finishing her practice, Noelle usually battles with Caren, Teresa, and Maddison. Fighting them, Noelle would usually win against Caren and Teresa but fighting Maddison was out of the question. If I was honest, Noelle had the least power-up compared to the rest.
Then we got Teresa, who was an excellent listener. Now that I think about it, aren't our group members pretty anti-social?
First, we got Caren, who is pretty timid and tries her best to say the right words. Then we got Noelle, who is pretty cold and won't get close to someone unless needed, so getting along with her was hard at first.
Teresa was also someone who never talked. She was the type that preferred to listen to the speaker instead of speaking. She might as well be mute at this point.
Then we got Maddison. She had anger issues from the side effects of her magic. Maybe it was her default personality. I couldn't tell. But her anger needs to be dealt with.
As for Serena, she is too high class. She could quickly turn people off with her high expectations. Not to mention she isn't afraid of much, and she could be overbearing.
And finally, you got me—someone, who tries their best to avoid people that aren't important.
I got sidetracked. Where were we? That's right next was Teresa, who had improved the speed of her shadows. Now that she could move her shadow faster, it would be much more versatile.
She was making steady progress and would practice controlling the shape of her shadow. She would usually train with Caren and Maddison.
Looking at how Maddison trains, I would say that she was crazy. Instead of trying to control her magic, she lets it take over her.
Maddison believes that the more she loses it, the stronger she will get. It was accurate but also hazardous. She would be putting herself in harm, along with the others.
Cynthia, the instructor, had tried to dissuade her a couple of times, but Maddison was too stubborn to follow. Cynthia had threatened Maddison about competing but still wouldn't listen.
Seeing that happen to be the case, Cynthia gave up and let her do her thing. It was already too late to change the teams, so that all Cynthia could do was guide her.
"Charlie, we will begin our sparring session." Cynthia had said, with me ready. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
Me starting my first move. I shot beams of plasma toward Cynthia. My accuracy had improved and, along with any hesitation, had disappeared.
My moves were more ruthless and more calculated. I had aimed every part of Cynthia's limbs to slow her down.
Cynthia had always adjusted her strength to be one up of mine, making the fight much harder for me.
Knowing what I would do, Cynthia would dodge all my attacks. But knowing that Cynthia would do this, I would predict where she would go next.
Cynthia was much more experienced in battle and would evade my attacks. It was frustrating fighting someone who was always one-upping you.
Since Cynthia was only enchanting her strength with mana, I was getting a beating with her fist. She would penetrate even my plasma armor.
I didn't want to take any more beating. Since Cynthia wasn't staying away from me, I would gather mana, creating a colossal attack.
Creating an explosion, Cynthia could only raise her mana to a higher level to defend my attack.
"That was the first time you landed an attack. You're getting better with each spar." And with that, I went back to absorbing mana.
This was what my life has been for this month.
