章節 18: Aura Training Method
Leo went into the forest and came back after four hours. He found two herbs this time and killed a couple of beasts for them. The beasts were both just normal animals so he didn't have any problem dealing with them. He didn't go as deep as he went previously because of Trevor's advice.
When he came back and gave the herbs to Trevor, he got back 1800 Star coins for them. The plants hadn't grown enough for them to be considered truly magical. He handed a 1000 Star coin note to Trevor.
"The Aura Training method?" He asked Trevor.
Trevor nodded. "This is a very standard training method. Everyone uses this. The only difference is that with rich commoner families, you also have techniques to utilize aura better than with just the training method. They should all follow the same principle though. You shouldn't worry too much."
He nodded. He took the aura training method from Trevor and left with the rest of his money. He would have to go to the forest again the next week for more money to pay the advance rent for the next few months. He was spending too much money, but he knew that they were all good investments.
He went back to his house and gave the aura training method to Daphne.
"This is an aura training method. Start training using this. If you are lucky, then you can gain some aura and defend yourself. I will get you a knife as well when we have enough money for rent and furniture." He told her.
She nodded. "Thank you. Can I come with you to the forest if I become an Aura Knight?"
Leo thought for a minute. "You have to become an actual Aura Knight, not just an Apprentice Knight. Okay?" He gave her a hard goal so that she would take some time before he would have to deal with her.
Daphne was like his sister, and he didn't want to put her in danger. She looked at him with determination in her eyes.
"I will definitely become an Aura Knight as quickly as possible." She said resolutely. He smiled at her.
"I wish you good luck. Now start practicing. I am also training using the aura method. That was why I sit in my room for long periods of time." He said. He was lying to her, but it was necessary.
They had a quick late lunch. He went to his room while Daphne went into hers. They already had enough food for dinner, so they wouldn't have to go out to get any. He didn't have to worry about dinner and could focus on training.
Compared to the previous day with the magic stone, his training gave fewer results. His magic power barely grew at all. Leo understood how important Beast Cores and Potions were to train. The only problem was that he would have to kill them himself to use them. This meant that it would be faster for him to train if he kept going to the forest and getting Pseudo Beast Cores instead of just sitting down and training.
For the rest of the week, his schedule was very simple. He would go out and find herbs to sell to Trevor while trying to look for Pseudo Beast Cores in the animals that he killed. In the rest of the time, he would train his magic. He could also use the white room to train while he was sleeping, so he saw a decent improvement in his magic.
His luck wasn't very good while going into the forest this time because he couldn't find any Cores. However, he found 1 or even 2 herbs sometimes. This all added up to almost 7000 Star coins. Along with his initial 800 Star coins, it was enough for a couch as well as the rent for the next three months.
He paid off his advance at the office. Adira was very shocked when she saw that he came up with the money that quickly.
He continued going into the forest every day for the next week as well. This time, he was luckier than before. He found three Pseudo Beast Cores.
He didn't tell Trevor about them, because he didn't need him to identify them. He quickly felt the magic within them. He was saving the cores up without using them because he wanted to take a break from going into the forest.
For the week after that, he just focussed on absorbing the magic within the cores. Because he wasn't rushing it, each core lasted two days. By the end of the week, his magic doubled. While it might seem odd that his magic only doubled, given that he absorbed three Pseudo Beast Cores, it wasn't considering the current state of his mind.
The cloud was now incredibly dense, and he could feel the magic influencing his mind heavily. The plains that the cloud lit up were very vibrant. He could see that the grass stretched to a considerable distance - almost a mile away. The cloud itself was the size of a big mansion. His mind itself felt incredibly clear and he felt it was considerably easier killing Pseudo Magical Beasts.
The next week also passed similar to the second week. He found two Pseudo Beast Cores and a few other herbs that he sold to Trevor. Trevor started to appreciate Leo as a valuable mercenary and started depending on him for herbs more than other mercenaries who charged more.
With the money that he earned, he was able to buy the furniture for the house as well as a good dagger for himself and Daphne. In all this time, Daphne was still struggling to learn how to train Aura.
Time passed quickly, and two months shot by.
