Capítulo 34: Kinetic Impact
In the midst of the bustling Essence training session, Lyra and Clara found themselves paired up as sparring partners. The air was filled with an electric sense of excitement and anticipation, as everyone knew that the big tournament was just around the corner.
As they took their positions on the training mats, the vampire ET coach emerged from the shadows, his presence commanding instant attention. "Alright, everyone," he called out, his voice carrying across the room. "Today is all about giving it your best shot. Focus on your techniques, and remember that understanding your own Essence is the key to unlocking your true potential."
With those words of encouragement, the coach retreated back into the shadows, allowing the students to commence their sparring sessions. Clara turned to Lyra, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Lyra, I've been waiting so long to show you my Essence technique," she said, her voice brimming with excitement. "But it's not something I'm allowed to do indoors."
Lyra raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "Oh? What is it?"
Clara grinned, taking a step back. "Watch this." She snapped her fingers, and suddenly, a burst of colorful sparks exploded from her hand, dancing through the air like miniature fireworks.
Lyra's eyes widened in amazement as Clara continued her demonstration. "My Essence technique is called Kinetic Impact," she explained, her voice filled with pride. "I can convert kinetic energy into explosive force. The only caveat is that the energy has to come from me. The bigger the hit, the stronger the explosion."
To illustrate her point, Clara clapped her hands together, creating a resounding boom that echoed through the training room. A dazzling display of sparks and light erupted from the impact, forming a breathtaking firework that left Lyra speechless.
"That's incredible, Clara!" Lyra exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration. "I had no idea your Essence was so powerful."
Clara beamed, basking in her friend's praise. "Thanks, Lyra. I've been working hard to master it." Her expression turned more serious as she added, "I know you're worried about the tournament, especially since your telepathy falls under the utility category. But don't worry, they group people based on whether their Essence is combat-oriented or not. You'll be fine."
Lyra nodded, appreciating Clara's reassurance. However, a flicker of apprehension crossed her face. "What does that mean, exactly? The different categories?"
Clara proceeded to explain, her voice taking on a more informative tone. "Essence techniques can be categorized into two main groups: combat and utility. Within the combat category, there are four subgroups: Warrior, Sorcerer, Support, and Marksman. Telepathy, like yours, would normally be considered a support technique. But if all you can do is sense emotions, I'm not sure how useful that would be in a tournament setting."
Lyra felt a sinking feeling in her stomach, realizing the limitations of her current abilities. But then, a spark of determination ignited within her. She had been studying battle alchemy in secret, pouring over her mother's old notes and experimenting with new techniques. Perhaps this was the perfect opportunity to showcase her newfound skills.
"Actually, Clara," Lyra said, a hint of excitement creeping into her voice. "I have an idea. I've been studying battle alchemy, and I think I might be able to use it to my advantage in the tournament."
Clara's eyes widened in surprise, a mix of concern and intrigue playing across her face. "Battle alchemy? Lyra, are you sure? That's incredibly advanced and dangerous stuff."
Lyra nodded, her resolve unwavering. "I know it's a risk, but I've been practicing hard. I think it could give me the edge I need to prove myself."
As they resumed their sparring session, Lyra's mind raced with possibilities. She knew that the path she had chosen was fraught with danger and uncertainty, but she was determined to see it through. With the tournament looming on the horizon and the weight of her family's legacy on her shoulders, Lyra knew that she had to give it her all.
