Bab 26: 26 2 Weeks later
Ryan had spent the remainder of the dream in school but didn't really learn much of anything. Being limited to being only a spectator in a a elementary school, it will take time to learn some useful things.
Waking up to the sounds of beasts fighting near, Ryan began his training routine he made the day before.
The first thing to do every morning is martial technique training. Its nothing new just things he would do when training back at home.
Ryan trained his Martial technique for an hour than left his hideout.
Second thing to do is practice jumping through the trees tops while weighing 5 times less. Since he can keep that up for about 90 minutes, he practice for an hour. He never went to far from his hideout, mostly circled around it.
Lucky for Ryan he didn't bump into no beast but he did see a few. After the hour was up he practice swinging his sword, while switching from heavy to light.
He was glad that he decided to practice it, it was harder than he thought. Plus he found out that he can't use his aura on his body and the sword at the same time.
He could tell he should be able to do it but he fails at the part when having to control the mana.
Once he got done with his training, he went back into his hideout. Ryan was pretty close to running out of mana so he start cultivating to recover. It took him about 3 hours to have his mana core back full.
He went back out to repeat the routine but this time he will be pushing himself. He plan on training to his limits 3 times a day.
He was already aware he below average when it comes to martial art and sword play. His dad told him he have bad coordination, and balance.
He said. "Even if you can remember the moves, it will be useless if you cant preform them right. Training is the only way to fix it."
2 weeks past since he started his routine and a few things of note happened over the span of time.
He had got attacked and chase by 4 different beast. 1 of the times the beast was a bird, that was twice the size of him.
It had swooped down from behind, surprise attacking him.
Getting caught off guard he wasn't able to do much and got clawed in his back.
He would of got grab instead if he didn't notice at the last second and randomly swung his sword behind him. The beast dodged the sword making the claws of the bird release his grip, letting Ryan free.
The beast circle around to attack again but Ryan jumped to the ground and hid in a bush when it lost sight of him. He stayed there until the bird left the area.
He probably would of bled out if he didn't have healing pills and medicinal ointment. The bird claws left really deep gashes, In his shoulder and back.
The other 3 beast encounters he escape without getting hurt. He found out there are a decent amount of beast that can travel through the trees. As he was running from one beast, he ran into another.
Its not to difficult to get away if he run high up in the trees and make them follow a path with skinny branches. There a good chance that it will brake as they run on them, giving him enough time to get away.
Ryan dad put some medicinal powder in the ring that can conceal smells. Knowing that it was a high chance they will be stuck in the wild he made sure to pack everything they will need in the ring. Ryan spread that around his hideout so they can't track him back there.
The other thing that happened was Ryan making decent progress with his training. He could tell he got slightly stronger, and it became easier to use his element. He is almost capable of using his element on the sword and himself at the same time.
The last thing that happened over 2 weeks was gaining more knowledge. Ryan still been having strange dreams every night.
He didn't go to school in his dreams every time but he did learn quite a few things over all.
He even found out that the place in his dreams is probably in another world or something. It is not the past before dungeons showed up.
The reason he knows that because he noticed that the place in his dreams only have one sun and in real life there 2 suns in the sky. Pluse he saw the moon one night in his dream and it doesn't look nothing like the moon in real life. It's way to small compare to the actual moon.
After Ryan finish his first set of training, he sat on a branche to think.
"Humm, should I start to make a attempt to kill a beast. I can't keep letting them attack me while I'm practicing. One of these days I might get unlucky and die from a sneak attack or get seriously injured.
More experience i have at fighting beasts the better. I will start off small and kill the weakest looking beast i can fine."
Ryan laid his head back and looked up at the sky.
"Its so ironic, the kids in my dreams always talk about wanting super powers and fighting bad guys. Always watching people on TV fighting off beasts, with envy shining in there eyes.
Even the adults in my dreams like that too. Jason dad will sit there and play fighting games for hours, with enjoyment on his face.
Now there's me, wishing I had been born there. Away from all this, away from having to fight and train for my life. You don't have a choice in this world, if you don't get strong you will eventually die.
I can't believe a person would want this life. They don't know how good they truly have it. Living a life where you can do anything you want, at least that what the teacher said.
Here you are force to do something that involves fighting. If you don't than you will die eventually from the beasts attacking. Surrounded by people and beast that could kill you if they so choose so.
You can even die from the after shocks of other people fighting, which is a pretty common occurrence. Living in a world where your life could be taken at any moment, is not as enjoyable as people think.
These kids in my dreams don't realize how good they truly have it." Ryan sighed thinking to himself
Even though he didn't recover his mana to 100%, Ryan got up to train again.
He found out its a good way to clear his mind and its good at stopping him from thinking about things he don't want to think about.
Pushing himself even harder than normal days Ryan start running and jumping through the trees. Using his element to the best of his ability.
Skillfully adjusting his weight to accurately jump to reach each branch he want. Making himself heavier as he land to reduce the momentum and change direction instantly. Right before his foot land, he briefly perfectly time his element to make himself even lighter, to reduce the noise of his movement.
Even practice using his sword at times to cut down random things as he run. Doing all this while he concentrate and taking notes of his surrounding. Not letting anything sneak up on him and changing direction to avoid beasts before they notice.
At the end of the hour of the non-stop running he became extremely exhausted. He never actually depleted this much of his mana before while being physically tired.
It was a whole new type of exhaustion, he was not accustomed to. Realizing he may of fucked up, he was still a few trees away from his hideout. Without the strength and mana to make it back jumping back is simply impossible at the moment.
He can't just simply walk there unless he climb down. With only 2 options to pick, which is to sit down where he at and cultivate enough to recover mana or climb down and walk to his tree.
He chose to just cultivate and recover just enough mana to make to his tree home. It should only take a few minutes, it seem like a safer choice.
Sadly for Ryan luck was not on his side.
