Capítulo 43: Group Training
The group was currently riding the Griffin and had spent a few days in Area 10 already, Most of Area 10 is in between Area 13 and Area 8 (The Everlasting Plain). It would take about a week and a half for them to completely pass the Area.
During the few days, the group realized that Adonis and Juniper started to talk a lot more with each other and go out to practice with each other.
The first people to approach them about this were Lena and Mila.
Juniper was currently meditating while Adonis waited for her to be done, he then felt a cold hand touch his shoulder and felt an ominous presence next to him.
"So...I see that you and Juniper have become a lot closer lately."
"H-hey, Lena...what are doing here?"
Adonis turned to Lena and saw her dead expression, Mila came to intervene and answer Adonis's question.
"We came here because we were curious about what you were doing with Juniper."
"Oh, it's nothing much, just training her to be able to control the demon inside of her."
"I see."
"..."
"..."
"...Wait, what?" Lena was the first one to catch on to what Adonis said.
Adonis then explained to them what was happening with Juniper and why she seemed so strange lately.
"Holy shit."
"I didn't know Juniper had something like that happening to her..."
It was then that Juniper sighed and got out of her meditation, "Adonis, I'm doing-" She then saw Lena and Mila looking at her with pity.
"Adonis, what happened?"
"Hm? Oh! I just told them about your current situation."
"YOU BAS-!"
""JUNIPER!"" Lena and Mila yelled at her at the same time.
Juniper yelped and was being bombarded with questions and lectured to by Lena and Mila, she looked at Adonis for help but he turned away pretending not to see.
After that, Lena and Mila joined in the training and saw Juniper's current training. It consisted of meditation, therapy, and training her to become a better fighter and control the mana inside of her. With this training, she would become mentally stronger and be able to counteract Mazarine when she "hatches".
Lena and Mila helped with her training and were doing their training by sparring and finding nearby monsters to fight. The Sect Leader and Elder Maron liked to see that their disciples still tried to become stronger and weren't slacking off, they even watched a few training sessions and gave their own inputs on it.
This made the other boys of the group jealous of Adonis as he was surrounded by beautiful girls and was getting a lot of attention from them, while they were trying their damn hardest to at least get noticed by them. This also caught the attention of the 2 other girls in the group, Jewel and Madeline.
Jewel had light blue hair with pink eyes, and her skin was tanned. She had an outgoing personality that was able to make her friends easily.
Madeline had Void black hair with purple eyes that looked like the night sky, and she had alabaster skin. She kept to herself a lot and only had Jewel as a friend.
Seeing the other girls train and being around Adonis aroused their curiosity, so they spied on their training and saw Adonis take the lead and give accurate assessments on what they could do better while also improving himself, which impressed them greatly.
One night, they were able to take Adonis away in the middle of the night and went into a nearby open field.
"Uhh, is there something you girls need from me?"
"Yeah, we were hoping you train us as well," Jewel said with an excited expression
"You want me to train you?"
"Yes, we are hoping to get stronger through your assistance, if you don't mind, that is..." Madeline said shyly.
Adonis thought about it for a split second and concluded that having the group become stronger before the All-Sect Tournament could only be beneficial. As far as he knew except for him, Lena, Mila, and Juniper, the rest were average in strength.
"All right, I can help you."
"Yes!! Thank you so much!" Jewel said excitedly
"Y-yes! Thank you so much." Madeline bowed to Adonis.
Adonis helped them without expecting any sort of payment from them, he thought that doing better in the All-Sect tournament is all the reason he needs to train them.
That night was their first day of training, they both spared with Adonis separately and gave them an accurate assessment of their strength and overall ability.
Jewel was a close-combat fighter; with wind magic and 3-star speed ki, and she was currently a Refinement Stage 4-Spark. She uses two daggers and had an assassin-style way of fighting. She would use her speed and agility to catch her opponent off-guard and kill them with a hit to their vitals. She was similar to Lena in her way of fighting, and Adonis decided to have them spar with each other in the future. Overall, she had the speed and technique down, but the problem lay in her attack patterns; they were predictable, and to pull off her fighting style to the fullest, she had to be more unpredictable. Adonis told her to use her flexibility more and add in more feints.
Madeline was a far-range fighter; with dark magic, and she was currently a Refinement Stage 5-Spark. She doesn't use any weapons and only had her bare hands. She would use her dark magic to cover the ground and make her opponent have no choice but to go into the air, then she would use her spells to attack them mid-air since they won't be able to avoid such attacks. Overall, her control and stamina with her magic made her a hard opponent for both close-combat and far-range fighters, the problem was that very fast people were the plague to her. Adonis told her that she needed to improve her casting speed and to be able to fight close-quarter, at least enough to defend herself if a person can close the distance.
Jewel and Madeline were impressed yet again by Adonis as he was able to deduct their weaknesses and give them advice with only one spar.
Jewel and Madeline joined the group training as well.
Now that all of the girls in the group are spending their time with Adonis, it made the other boys more jealous. They wanted to show that Adonis is not as great as he seems, but they couldn't come up with a plan.
Except for one.
