A boy could be seen creating hand signs and chanting some spells to create a magic formation; he created and destroyed it before creating it again. He practiced creating the magic formation as fast as he could; It took him some hours to increase his speed from fifteen seconds to ten seconds.
He kept practicing, and with repeated practice, he now didn't need to say anything as he was able to cast the spell on instinct. It was all due to his 'Extreme Focus' skill, which helped him to correct his mistakes on each try while also finding ways to increase his casting speed.
Two and a half days passed during which he practiced all his newly learned techniques; He was now getting better at using them while also thinking of ways to maximize the result. One such combo he was able to create was using his third technique to create an array while using his first technique to increase the power of all three chakrams used in the final attack.
After three days of practice, he was able to integrate the formulas of all three arrays into a single, simplified, and short formula. He also made changes in the first and second arrays, which lowered the power but increased the speed. Some of the major changes he made were
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFirst, he connected the Detect Array to the Suppressing and Slow Array, and now they were able to sense the opponent.
The second change he made was to have the suppressing Array and slow array only target opponents sensed by the detect Array.
These little changes, plus his mastery of creating three inscribed pillars at once, helped him shorten the casting time of the spell. He now needed only three seconds to use it; He now needed to practice the Magic Formation daily to decrease the time further.
He stopped after this, as things like this require daily effort and can't be completed in some days; He only had two more days to enter the academy. He decided to talk with his teacher and get his permission to leave; he also needed to talk about his future route in the academy.
The man was still sitting on the bench below the tree, looking at the beautiful valley in front of him. He could see Puna Town from the top; Rishi sat next to him and started discussing with him what he should do next.
"You first should join a course that teaches about the assassin class. With that and your skill and mastery of elements, it would not take long for you to master the assassin role. Now comes the main part: I want you to not use your shadow element until absolutely necessary and play the fighter role all the time."
"Join the courses about fighter role and learn about different types of fighters. You are pretty good at using swords. I will advise you to learn how to use the spear; while fighting with a mount, the spear gives you a lot of advantages," he added.
"Join the course about the Ice Element, earn contribution points, and exchange them for suitable Ice Element spells. Keep in mind that you only learn spells that suit the fighter role. Focus on offense and defense spells, mainly while picking. I believe the shadow element is more suitable for learning a movement skill, so keep that in mind," he continued.
Rishi carefully listened to all his advice while also asking some questions in between. After he was done, he bowed to him and touched his feet to show his respect before leaving the middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
He stopped in his tracks and asked, "Teacher, at least tell me your name."
"They call me Krishna Rawat, Demon of Fire and Wind," replied the man.
"What a fancy name," murmured Rishi as he moved on. He met his first teacher, Elder Naman again and asked for his advice about what to do to gain recognition of the clan. The elder advised him to clear the trial for Advanced Stage Beast Tamers; it would be enough to cause a storm in the clan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRishi thanked him for his advice and touched his feet before leaving. He didn't have a lot of time left, so he decided to meet his uncle, Kabir. His uncle was the same as he had seen him months ago; the only change was that he could see on his face that he was under a lot of stress and was not able to sleep properly.
He hugged him, talked with him, and discussed everything. His uncle told him about the pressure he was facing due to the Swordsmanship Rune, and Rishi replied, "Uncle, no need to worry about that; I am leaving today. You can tell everyone that it is with me."
His uncle sighed in relief. He also had many people in the clan that disliked him; they were pressuring him to return the Swordsmanship Rune, which was making his life harder. Rishi took out every precious thing he had gained in the forest and asked his uncle to sell them and send the money directly to his bank account.
His uncle was surprised when he saw the rare shadow element objects and elixirs; he also found parts of elite-level magic beasts. He looked at the boy in front of him and was impressed by Rishi's growth speed. If he keeps improving like this, he will surpass everyone in three years. He made a note in his mind to support him as much as possible; this will also be good for him later.
Rishi saw his uncle's reaction and was satisfied. He knew his uncle had supported him blindly until now due to his relationship with his father, but now he wanted to solidify their relationship and give him more reasons to support him. He needed someone like his uncle, who had a lot of connections, to support him, or he would not be able to compete with the other competitors.
His uncle informed him that he had found out the identity of the bandits that attacked him. Rishi listened to everything without showing any emotion; This confused his uncle before he felt a chill run through his back. People like Rishi were the ones that he feared most; they were people who were able to remain calm in every situation, Never giving in to impulses or emotions, and they rarely made mistakes.
Rishi was happy to know about the group of bandits; he was very eager to learn killing intent. From what he had learned, it could only be learned by killing people. He didn't want to kill innocents, so he was looking for someone suitable. He will get his revenge, get information about his enemies, and learn about killing intent while also not feeling any guilt; This was a golden opportunity for him.
He left his uncle and went to the same goblin dungeon; He met the same perverted elder there. The elder was surprised to see him as he was not able to see through him at all, Rishi greeted him and told him he wanted to challenge the advanced stage level; The elder was shocked, but he nodded and allowed Rishi to enter.
