CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

The next few days moved quickly. Every morning, we spent two hours on aura training while the others gathered, pushing toward Core. Immediately afterwards, we cultivated Geist. We were lucky, in that everyone had enough Geist tempering from the Stairway of Determination to use the Enhanced Natural Geist Growth Technique, even if Lilianna and Xiao could only manage a few seconds to start with. Xiao especially pushed extremely hard, and would cultivate over and over again.

After Geist training, we’d eat a quick lunch, then I worked on creating various pills. Using the books Librarian Narwan and Spirit gave me along with the Legacy, I was able to create enough Ice, Water, and Metal Affinity enhancing pills for everyone. The Fire pill recipe, unfortunately, took some ingredients I only had small amounts of, and it was complicated enough that I messed up half of it. Still, I was able to make four, giving them to Aleks, Vaya, Jamila, and Hannah, strengthening our healers at Knight Kaminski’s direction.

After a few hours of Alchemy, only occasionally interrupted by Jon causing an explosion on the other workbench, Knight Kaminski would have two of us spar. At first, we were made to fight without any techniques. It was eye-opening how different my body was, how utterly superhuman I’d become, ever since advancing. The first time Ming and I fought, it felt like he was moving in slow motion. I exaggerate a bit, but only a bit. I easily overpowered him.

Now, with techniques we were a little closer, as I still hadn’t learned a better ability than the General Strengthening Technique. Even with techniques, though, I was faster, stronger, and tougher than he was. It was only his extensive training with his sword, compared to my less than a year’s experience with my trisula, that the fights were even close.

Sparring practice was followed by technique practice, with Knight Kaminski focusing on teaching everyone how to hopefully not fall off the Skysurfer. Whether by creating small walls of Ice or Stone, quick bursts of Air or Fire to throw themselves back onto the surface, or tethers of Wood and Ice to hold them down, Knight Kaminski did not want a repeat of Milenna’s fall. Jon, Vaya, Bridget, and I were directed to work on our ability to fly or run through the sky.

Vaya was able to modify her Entangling Vines Technique to create the vines from thin air, though she complained that it took nearly five times as much Aether to do so. Using those vines, she swung through the sky like Tarzan, and was able to quickly snatch me out of the sky when I faked falling. Jon worked on his Sky Glacier Technique, with the large barge of Ice slowly drifting on unseen currents. He couldn’t move it as fast as the Skysurfer, but, with support from Zimnodlot, was able to hold the technique for hours on end.

I got faster, sprinting through the sky with the smallest Air platforms I could make, keeping my Aether usage well below my natural recharge rate.
