Kapitel 62: Force shaper technique (1)
As Tom looked at the ethereal arm made of Etherium that he had created, he felt a rush of joy but also pride, he was proud of himself to have persevered and finally managed to accomplish this feat, he was drenched from head to toe and felt that he couldn't maintain the Etherium in this form for too long, but he had a big grin on his face he was like a kid that finally received for his birthday the gift he always told his parents that he wanted.
Clap Clap
As he heard clapping sounds, Tom turned around and found Midas approaching him while clapping, when he was upon Tom, he smiled a little and said:
"Congratulations you managed to do it in just "three weeks".
The way he said "three weeks" seemed very sarcastic, but Tom paid no mind to this, not wanting this elder wisemonkey to spoil his happiness, instead he asked with a thoughtful expression:
"Actually, I wanted to ask you something"
"Go on"
"What can the force shaper technique allow one to do ? I can now give a desired shape to my etherium, so doesn't that mean that I can actually use the force shaper technique ?"
Midas shook his head and replied, "molding your ehterium into a desired shape is just one of the two requirements of the force shaper technique".
"What is the other requirement" asked Tom curiously.
Midas contemplated for a moment before replying "I guess that I can tell you, it won't take you more than a few weeks to master the healing technique anyway, so explaining the force shaper technique now is a good thing", Midas paused for a moment before he added "watch and listen carefully".
After Midas finished speaking, he materialized a sword that looked no less different than his usual shadow sword, however there was in fact a difference, this difference being the fact that this sword was made of Etherium.
"Woah" exclaimed Tom, marveling at the pale white sword made of etherium that Midas made, what astonished Tom the most was the small intricacies implemented on the sword as he knew that making such a thing was absolutely difficult and above his current level.
If you actually never tried to give a shape to your Etherium you would think that the bigger what you construct is, the better your control, but after weeks trying to shape his Etherium Tom understood that the size of your construct doesn't necessarily reflect your level of control over your Etherium, what show that you have a good level of control is your ability to shape your Etherium into something with complex structure.
To wake Tom from his daydream, Midas coughed and said "you should concentrate"
"Huh? Oh, yes, yes, I'm listening" replied Tom, coming back to his senses.
"Okay, can you tell me what is the difference between your arm made of Etherium and this sword ?" Asked Midas as he brandished the sword.
Tom carefully inspected the sword but didn't know if there was a difference between the sword and his arm, in his eyes, both of them were made of etherium and the shape was the only thing different, even when he used his ehterium to check, he didn't find any other discrepancies, so he simply shook his head and replied :
"Beside the shape, I don't see any other difference"
Midas nodded his head visibly not too shocked that Tom failed to see a difference and said :
"Then let me ask you what will happen if you were to try and touch the arm you just made ?"
"My hands will probably pass through it since it's ethere- wait, you can touch the sword you just made, which means that-"
"Yes it's as you guessed, the force shaper technique allows you to not only give a shape to your ehterium, but it allows you to transform anything you make into something solid, from what my own teacher once told me, it's even possible to give your creation liquid proprieties, but I don't know how to do it, however just being able to give your Etherium a solid property can bolster your current strength to an all new level" explained Midas to Tom whose eyes were blinking in astonishment.
'Just, just imagine all the applications of such a technique' thought Tom after his brain finally finished processing everything Midas just said.
'The applications of such a technique are nearly endless, It can be used in everyday life due to being very utile, I can also use it to defend myself by shaping my etherium into a shield, with this I can even shape my etherium into gauntlets and give much more powerful punch while not injuring myself in the process' thought Tom with such excitation that the arm of etherium he had made disappeared, but he didn't care about that, all that was on his mind was the force shaper technique.
"You should forget about it for now, concentrate on the current task at hand, when you finally matter the healing technique you will start the force shaping technique training, not before" said Midas strictly when he saw that Tom was forgetting his current training and already projecting himself using the force shaping technique.
"Yeah yeah, I'm getting back to it right now and in a week we will start the force shaper technique training"
'Even though shaping your Etherium is the step that takes the most time when learning the healing technique, the final step will also not be simple, so finishing it in a week won't be possible' thought Midas internally, however he didn't say anything to Tom, instead he returned to the location he was sitting previously with a grin on his face.
'If you think that it will be easy to master that technique in one week, you are sorely mistaken' thought Midas as he sat and looked at tom that resumed his training.
'In any case, I will just enjoy your defeated expression when you realize that it will take much more time' chuckled mischievous the elder wisemonkey.
However
One week later
"What is the other requirement to learn the force shaper technique ?"
