Capítulo 4: Training

After returning to Star City, I was on my way to Shadow Genesis.

I was not there to meet my parents but to train as the guild provide us with a training room. I registered for one private training room for 8 hours.

Since I am the son of the guild master I don't need to pay them for the room. Including me, sons and daughters of other B- rank members enjoy this privilege.

I went to training room no.1-C, the number indicates that the room can handle rank F energy.

Our guild has room from numbers 1-5, number 5 being the room that can handle rank B energy. Our guild only has 3 such rooms and the charges for those rooms are very high. The raw materials required to build those rooms are rare and expensive, so naturally, it is very expensive to book those places.

My training room was 10 meters long and 15 meters wide. It was quite spacious and had training equipment such as a dumbbell weighing 100 kg and a sword of various kinds. The training room walls are able to withstand attacks from rank F heroes and are also soundproof.

I sat down on my mat and started to channel my mana according to the Cryomancy Art. The mana needs to be converted to Ice energy for the Art. I need to do it until I can easily convert my mana into Ice energy.

It took me 2 hours before I can convert my mana into Ice energy but it was not good enough. For me to use the Cryomancy Art, I need to be able to convert mana into Ice energy faster and easier;

You don't want to use your entire mana just to freeze a glass of water. I should practice like this until I efficiently convert mana into Ice energy without wasting much mana.

I continue to practice like this and in between, I also tried to use Cryomancy Art: Ice Shard that is attacking using the Ice shard; It took me 10 min in the beginning to form 1 meter of Ice and use it.

Using the last 6 hours, I have gone from basic understanding to utilizing the Ice magic more efficiently.

In the end, I was able to form 1 meter of Ice in under 8 minutes. Though this was useless right now as it took me most of my mana to form 1 Ice shard and the time needed was 8 minutes. It will be quite useful in battle if the execution time was less like I can use it as my long-distance attack.

I continued to come to visit the guild for the following days. I informed my parents that I will be training in the guild until school starts.

I continued practicing the Cryomancy Art and I could feel every day that my time was getting faster for converting mana into Ice energy. If the mana took 1 minute to form Ice energy that is needed to freeze a glass of water in the beginning, now I can do the same in 1 second.

Now I can use Cryomancy Art: Ice Shard in 10 seconds and it is also possible to use it consecutively for 4 times.

Due to my constant effort and Cryomancy being LVL 9 Art, my usage for Ice magic has reached such a stage that even the rank E Ice mage may not be able to control Ice magic as I can.

It is also possible for me to increase the size of the Ice Shard from 1 meter to 3 meters though it takes most of my mana however the destructiveness of that attack has reached the power of rank E - attack.

( The Magic Art truly is worthy of being LVL 9 )

Being able to display the power of LVL 9 attacks when I am just a rank F + and Art being just Beginner proficiency is rare. If the Art was Expert proficiency maybe you can display the power that is rank higher than yourself but my proficiency is just Beginner and I can display power higher than my rank though it takes almost all my mana.

It has almost been a month since I got Parallel Memory and my thought has been collected. I know that this world is going in the direction of the novel that I have read in another world. I thought about what I should do; Do I act as what is written in the novel or do I not give a damn about it.

I may have naturally acted the way I have in the novel if it was before knowing that this world is similar to the novel but now... I don't know, I want the world to go in the same direction as the novel.

Though the novel is not completed and I don't know everything that is going to happen but I do know that MC help solves lots of problems and if we go in the novel direction then many evil organization will be destroyed which is a good thing for society.

It may be a good idea to do things as stated in the novel but I don't know if it is my another world memory that is affecting me but I don't think I can act like what is written in the novel.

Though in the novel I was an insignificant character however I was given one important thing to do and only one thing; that is making the female lead character shine.

I don't know if my personality is the same as stated in the novel or not. In the novel from the start, Zero Elea was a character who was just there in the novel to praise and revere the character called Lisa Kyelpas.

She is one of the future companions of Hiro Ernest and lauded as Gerbera Daisies; Flower that smiles. It is because she is always smiling and never angry at anyone.

( I know I am quite straightforward but to openly express my feelings in front of the whole school... I don't know. In the novel not only do I pester her every day, but I would also confess to her in the class )

Yes, that right this was the role given to me, Zero Elea in the novel. I have to first praise her every day, confess, and in the end be rejected by her.

I don't know how I got the courage to do it as she is not only the most beautiful girl but her rank is E and she is the daughter of the guild master of one of the platinum guilds. She is like a noble and I, a commoner; A toad wishing to eat swan meat is a perfect proverb to describe this situation.

( Maybe after going to school my personality changed or is it that my feeling for her was so strong that I didn't care about anything else. )

I don't know. Just because I know what will happen doesn't mean I know why it happened though thinking about it, I don't know who gave me the courage to pursue her.

She was described as one of the most beautiful girls in the school and has many pursuers including MC rival Zion Maxwell who is ranked 2nd in the entrance exam.

Though in the novel, Zion was constantly being rejected by Lisa however he didn't allow other boys to be near her. I don't why in the novel he didn't beat me up like the other boys.

He would not only beat other pursuers but also use his father's name who is a rank SS hero and guild master of one of the platinum guilds to threaten them into not approaching Lisa.

He has started to fall for her since the age of 10 when they first met each other at a birthday party and since then he has started to court her.

( Nevermind )

I decided to follow the novel, though embarrassing however I only need to follow the novel for the first year, and then according to the novel, I was never involved with the main story of the novel after getting rejected by Lisa.

( I shall confess, be rejected, and then exit the main story. )

This was my plan to keep the future of this world the same as the novel. I would do things according to what is written in the novel. I would keep my involvement with Hiro Ernest and other main characters as little as possible.

After the decision, I continued my training. one week was left before I go to Ace Academy and live there as a student were mandatory to live in the dorm because they want the student to entirely focus on improving their strength and the environment provided by the academy was best for improving the student.

( I can feel that I am on the verge of breaking through the next rank. With the practice of Cryomancy Art, my mana absorption rate has increased; Higher level art means more absorption of mana, so faster they are able to rank up. I also have enough control over Ice energy and am also on the way to reach Practitioner proficiency in Cryomancy Art. )

I have spent the last 7 days practicing intensely to breakthrough. I also practice my Sword Art Shadow Style.

I was able to increase my strength of Shadow Style with an increase in the control of mana due to practicing Cryomancy Art. I thought I needed more control over the mana before reaching the next proficiency level but due to practice of Cryomancy Art, I feel I reached the requirement needed for reaching Proficient proficiency.

( Tomorrow is the day I go to school and Chapter One of the novel kicks off )

( My hard work did pay off. )

I looked at my Status screen, completely impressed. I was able to reach rank E and Practitioner proficiency for Cryomancy Art as planned.

Additionally, I have also broken through Proficient proficiency in Shadow Style which enabled me to shoot Shadow Slash. The concept is similar to Ice Shard but it needed a sword as medium and was much faster and more deadly than Ice Shard.

( I have done and gone beyond what I had planned. My strength is at least in the Top 50 of the new student. I am prepared. )
