There were numerous wolves in Jake's life.
He'd killed so many on the tutorial island, after all.
Those were his first opponents, so it'd not be odd for Jake's Vision to be that of a wolf. Such a thought, however, didn't last long in Jake's mind.
He instantly connected the dots.
"If I assimilate with Odin, I get The Feral Hunt Skill. This skin reminds me of The Perception Skill. I could sense things so well around me and even hear the heartbeats of others. If the drunk me connected that skill with my perception skill, it's possible he was able to develop Vision!" Jake said.
He looked into his game system.
Like he thought, his beast tamer's skill, The Archer's Body Language Of The Beasts, had two spots taken. It was such a powerful skill that Jake could only combine the four skills of his companions with his skills. Two of them being taken meant that his drunk self did something crazy again!
Ingrid nodded. "It must be it. I reckon you won't be able to use this kind of Vision without your talent unlocked, but picking up Vision or even using it for a few seconds during the battle should be possible for you. Taking a few steps back from your talented self might seem like I'm looking down on you, but believe in me and my judgment. It takes more than just a talent to wield a shaped vision."
She didn't say it aloud, but Ingrid also believed Jake could create a few different visions in the future only because of the bonds with his companions. His face told her that he also thought of it.
She smiled and stood up. "The Feather Step is not that difficult concept. You were close to performing it, so grind it from now on. As you jump from tree to tree, lock your eyes on the axes I release and their hit point. You must immediately shoot upon your feet, making contact with the bark. Then switch to another and hit the same axe from a different angle."
"YES!" Jake shouted enthusiastically. He wanted to ask for advice, yet received another training routine from his master. She'd spend time with him and prepare him for The International Tournament.
This warmed Jake's heart so much that he promised to take her to the Sushi God's restaurant!
Jake didn't know that secret training existed in that routine.
'I feel like I am much closer to The Hydra!' Jake thought.
He walked to the middle of Viktor's tree plantation. The fresh air filled his nostrils. It felt so good to be back here and be able to once again practice with his master.
Jake felt confident that he'd become much stronger in those few days!
'Let's turn that confidence into a force to blow away those clouded memories!' Jake told himself. He stared ahead, trying to eviscerate the concepts of The Feather Step his drunk self had used.
His Master was behind him, ready to begin the new training routine.
She hurled the first ax.
Jake didn't have more time to dig into his memories.
He could only work on himself.
The moment he stepped forward, however, a sudden electrifying feeling washed over him.
He could use his perception so freely... that he marked a tree with an 'X.'
'Vision... does it mean not just looking around and seeing everything, but also peeking deep into oneself and my skills? Is that why Kamil believes this skill to be the strongest?' Jake thought as he felt drawn to the mark.
He used The Feather Step so well that he forgot about locking his Death's Lock on his Master's ax, let alone release an arrow.
"I'm sorry!"
"I don't mind it. Continue."
"Yes!"
