Chapter 566: Master and Disciples Training Again

“Roy, I will go back and have a chat with my master. I may be much weaker than I was in the past, but maybe master or anyone else here can help me get stronger. Maybe using technique without Aura. I’ll leave a lot of Blobbies with you,” Victoria said as she left.

I am now wearing Blobbyarmor instead of Victoriarmor. But the amount of Blobbies she left is enough for me to shoot a barrage of bullets without having to worry that I’m wasting bullets.

“A slime that can transform into anything you want as weapon. In the past, your familiar will be every Aura users dream familiar. But if you use it as weapon, does it mean that you have no main weapon?” Mona asked.

“Although I’m more proficient in spear technique, you’re right that I have no main weapon,” I replied.

“That’s a shame. If your main weapon is a huge battle axe, I can teach you a thing or two about it. It’s my main weapon after all,” Mona said as the Blobbyspear in her hand turned into a huge battle axe.

“Well, I do use huge battle axe from time to time. Usually against monsters with strong defense. But I don’t have any preference in what I use. Different type of opponent, different type of weapons,” I said.

“I guess you’re also the first Aura users who uses various weapons. Are you sure that’s the path you’re willing to take?” Mona asked.

.....

“What path? That I will learn all kind of weapons? Maybe. The age of Aura users has gone. And I don’t know if there will be anyone else who will be Aura user in the future. And I don’t really care. What I want is the destruction of my source of trauma, the cult,” I explained.

There are no more Aura users left in the world. And my enemies are either monsters or mages. If I only use one weapon as my main weapon, I know that I can get stronger just by going down that path. But what I want is not getting stronger. It’s just a path I need to take to get what I want.

What I want is the destruction of the cult. The decisiveness of killing my enemy. Whatever weapon, I don’t care.

“For Aura users, we used Aura from our body to strengthen our body, or weapon. That’s the basic of using Aura. But there are still difference. After becoming a ghost and meet other Aura users, we agreed that there are two kinds of Aura users. One is martial artists who seek to get stronger and stronger, and assassins. I think you are closer to assassin than a martial artist. There’s no real differences. Just their goals,” Mona explained.

Hmm... if assassin is someone who use any means necessary to get what he wants, I guess that’s me.

Maybe there are assassins among the ancient Aura users here. And since they can’t do anything other than talking as ghosts, they discussed many things including the difference between those who seeks strength, and those who have a clear goal and don’t care what methods they use.

Well, a thousand years being together here without being able to leave can do that to you.

“Then, what do you want to learn from me? Other than Divine Vision?” Mona asked.

“Just teach me everything you’re good at. Including fighting using axe as weapon. I have never fought any Aura users before, so this is a good experience. The closest thing to an Aura users that I have fought are the werewolves. But they are different. Please teach me well,” I said.

“Good. Let’s see how good you are in utilizing your Divine Vision in a fight,” Mona said as she charged at me.

We started sparring right away, and the result was my instant loss.

“What the hell?” I was confused as I lay on the ground with Mona’s axe struck the ground right next to my head.

I did expect that I would lose since my opponent is an ancient Aura user who has a lot of experience fighting other Aura users. But not this quick. I couldn’t even see the move she used with my Divine Vision.

“You have a lot of experience fighting against monsters and mages. But fighting another Aura user is different. Though I think Clarence was just too weak. He cut down the tree thanks to his Aura ability which helps him get stronger. Now that his body has no blood, he’s just an average Aura user,” Mona said.

“I guess I’m the same. I depended too much on my Aura ability as well that I can’t see you. Do you have any advice?” I asked.

“Learn by doing. And don’t die while learning,” Mona said.

“...At least Clarence is still a better teacher. Well, I kind of agree that it’s best to learn by doing it. Let’s go again!” I said. This time, I transformed Blobbyarmor into Blobbygun. I don’t think she will kill me, so I don’t need to put on an armor

“What’s that weapon?” Mona asked.

“Something to cover my weakness in long-range attack,” I said as I shoot Blobbybullets at Mona.

“Oh, is that wind magic? No, wait. You said that you’re only a summoner and an air mage. Which mean this is air element magic?” Mona asked.

“With the help of tools.”

“But without Aura. There are some Aura users who came after me that can pour their Aura on their arrow even after they let go of the arrow. I suggest you to learn from them later,” Mona said as she easily blocked the Blobbybullets.

Using Divine Vision, she won’t easily get distracted by the bullets. Well, this is a training. I will surely get stronger here.

....

“So, what do you want to learn from the loser?”

Back near the entrance, where Roy was fighting Clarence, or defeating Clarence in an instant to be exact, Clarence is talking with his two former students.

After seeing how he could be defeated so easily, none of the people that Roy brought asked him for his guidance. But his two former students, Victoria and Sonia, approached him after everyone left.

“Yeah, you’re weak. But at that time, there were many other Aura users. And you still stand strong. You haven’t used your Aura ability yet, aren’t you? Back when you were fighting Roy?” Victoria asked.

“Actually, I can’t use them anymore. The ability I inherited, and the ability I gained myself, both of them are related to blood although different. And this body has no blood in it, so I’m the weakest here,” Clarence said.

“Even back then, you were weak without your abilities. But you still managed to do something against the people who asked you for a fight, right? Teach us that,” Sonia said.

“Teaching a slime and a ghost? Well, Victoria can transform into her human form. But what about Sonia?” Clarence asked his students.

“I can still touch and carry light stuffs. If it’s just touching, tapping, or a slight push and pull, I can do that,” Sonia said.

“Hmm... I guess I have something I can teach you. Let’s practice martial arts then. Since you two are difficult to fight normally, just making some distraction can help Roy a lot,” Clarence said.

The others might have think of him as a weakling for being defeated in an instant by Roy. But Clarence is actually quite smart.

Victoria is a Black Slime which is most likely immortal. And Sonia can’t be killed through normal magic. So, even if they get close to the enemies, there won’t be much problem. And they can make distraction so the others can defeat the enemies faster.

Clarence can tell all that from a glance. And he instantly prepared some training method that suit the two. Martial arts which is focused not on defeating the enemies. Just some light movement that the two monsters can learn. And not just the two. The others can also learn it as well.

“Alright. Victoria, stay in your human form and be my sparring partner. Although I won’t use Aura, it’s best that I don’t practice with Sonia. After I show you how it’s done, you can practice it with Sonia or the others. Now, Victoria, stand still over there,” Clarence said.

Clarence then showed the two monsters how to fight as the weak without using power. He also taught them sword fighting again like it was in the past. Even Sonia is holding a light Blobbysword as the three training again like it was a thousand years ago.

“...Victoria, why are you in a macho man form?” Clarence asked Victoria who suddenly transformed from her original woman form into a macho man.

“I got bored of training, so I transformed myself to get out of boredom as I train,” Victoria said casually.

“Master, she has always been a weird one. And now that she partnered up with another weird guy, Roy, she became even weirder. Please ignore her antics,” Sonia said.

“...Just what happened after a thousand years? Though I was surprised more by the fact that Sonia had a harem. Though why didn’t you try to charm me?” Clarence asked Sonia.

“You’re too ugly for my taste,” Sonia replied calmly.

“...You two! Swing your sword another extra ten thousand! No rest for you two!”

The three continued practicing as they reminiscing about the past. Although Clarence looked angry, he’s actually happy to see that his two disciples are doing well.

...if being killed and reincarnated as monsters can be called as doing well.
