ACIEL'S DIARY : INDIGO
SHEET 3.2: STRENGTHENING THE FOUNDATION

I came home quite quickly today and the sky was still clear, it was better to do the practice of learning this spell technique now inside the forest. Doing it around a resident residence like this will only make me flashy.

Carrying the Master on my shoulder, with a small bag of things that needed to be prepared as a training tool, I walked towards the small mountain range and entered the forest.

"If you really want to do it, then look for grass plains that are wide enough with a lot of sunlight coverage. It would be a bit of a hassle if it did in a terrain filled with trees and the Spirits suddenly attacked."

Upon entering the forest, the Master jumped up and turned into a giant tiger, bowing his head slightly to me.

"Come, come on up. It'll take time to use those little feet."

"OK~"

Immersing my butt on that soft black feather, Master flew along with the black cloud footing on each foot. In a quick time, we instantly found a suitable grass plain.

This place ... Not ...

Master made landfall on a yellowish grass plain, lowered me and changed his form back into a black cat and jumped on my shoulder.

"Master, does Master remember that? This is where we first met. Even though the sealing stone I broke was gone."

I pointed at the central part of this yellowish grass plain. Master just grunted softly and licked the feathers on his body.

"Is that so? I don't remember little things like that. Rather than that, quickly start the training so that you can become stronger faster. With that maybe your meat will taste better."

The master jumped on the grass and laid his body, looked in the direction I pointed before and snorted once more.

The actions he did and the words that came out of him ... Is it okay that Master is embarrassed when I bring it up?

"Hm? Foolish boy, what do you think about when you put on such a stupid face is very obvious. I'll get out of here and leave you if you do it one more time."

Ah, she read my mind again. How can the Master do it, huh? Or is it just a matter of my face being read easily? Maybe I should study poker face.

"I'm sorry, I'll start training soon."

The copy book that Uncle Gen gave him was quite thick, there might be around two hundred to three hundred pages in it. After retrieving it from the bag, I opened the first volume of the book.

The book is divided into eighteen volumes, each of which contains a low-level incantation and a medium-level incantation, a sealing formula, the meaning of each written script, a discussion of curses and how to overcome them, a collection of symbols for the circle of incantations and many others.

"Previously Uncle Gen said that if his father ever told me, about everything in this book is just a piece of the amount of knowledge the Spirit World has revealed. Among them, there is still a great deal that has not been revealed regarding the World of Spirits. About if all that knowledge were to be shed on a book, perhaps the books themselves would form some mountain."

Just imagining it makes my head woozy. It is better that I learn some basic things first such as paralyzing the movements of the Spirit and warding off the flow of Spiritual Energy.

For this crippling technique I've tried it on Ebi before and it's quite powerful, maybe I can strengthen it.

Then I will first learn how to ward off the flow of Spiritual Energy. There are several ways here.

"Alright, let's start the exercise. Master, I need some help!!"

"Huh?? Just do it yourself!! I will relax while enjoying the sun bath here!!

"Come on, Master~ you said my flesh would taste better if I became more skilled at manipulating spiritual energy, right? Let's just say that right now Master is marinating the meat that Master will eat to make it savory."

"...."

Even if it was just a little, I could see if Master's body trembled for a moment. His black ears were also twitching with his green eyes looking at the grass, pensively silent.

Good, he's faltering!! I need to give you one more push!!

"Ugh—!!"

It's smacking him. A little more push!!

I took off my shirt and flaunted my stomach, it was indeed a little thin but at least there was still an interesting looking muscle line.

"Master, I'm sure my internal organs won't taste bitter either."

"Arghh!! I understand!! I'll do it!! But make sure to do it seriously, if I know you're playing around, then I'll eat your body!!"

I straightened my posture and formed a salute.

"Ready, go!!"

With that, my training with Master went on.

____________________________________

—Two hours later.

The shrieking sounds of the birds returning to their nests filled the forest, the changing hue of the reddish sky raining down on the yellow grass plains, changing their appearance to be more radiant and beautiful.

"Huh ... Huh ... Huh ... Huh ... Ughhh ..."

I, in sweat-soaked clothes with my trembling legs, slammed my back against the grass plains and inhaled many short breaths while looking at the slightly blurry sky.

"Huh ... Nautica ... I ... This exercise ... Very tiring ... Although ... Actually ... Not much ... Which should be done ... Yes .... Master ...."

The master with the form of a tiger came up to me and sniffed my body. After a few nose movements, he stuck out his tongue and licked my face and distanced his face.

"Sweet and savory ... Not bad."

This tiger, he must be hungry because he has been with me training all this time.

"Even though you have not moved your body, these past two hours you have continued to drain the Spiritual Energy that is within your body to ward off the Flow that I am giving you. It has the same sensation as you walking against the rushing stream of a river. Of course it's exhausting, just a little mistake and your life will definitely fetch Anella."

"Masters ... Can you ... Saying it with ... Little ... Gentle? More about this exercise ... Not not running ... Smoothly? I tried to hold and ... Against Energy Flow ... The Master sent me to guard ... Awareness but ... All I can do is ... Holding it."

I coughed a few times, my throat felt so dry.

"Even this time ... My consciousness is almost gone ... Fuckin."

"Hmphh!! Do you really think a kid who just learned the flow control of Energy could just go against the Flow I gave him? Don't forget it, I am a High Spirit. Do you understand what that means?"

The master changed his form into a cat and walked up and occupied my chest, then set one foot in front of me.

"Can't hold back the flow I gave you it's a natural thing. No need to worry, the target of the exercise this time is to let you get used to the big flow and increase the endurance you have. The more you get used to it, the smaller streams the lowly Spirits produce will not be able to bother you in the slightest."

Training to increase my endurance in the face of the Energy Streams released by the Spirits? I really want Master to say that from the beginning.

Well, when it comes to endurance, then all I need to do right now is get used to it. Then there is no other choice but to do it many times.

Even so, it is quite exhausting. I want a drink.
