Chapter 28: Mastery of 【Grasshopper】 Mastery of 【Grasshopper】

* * *

I am now standing in the small square in front of Master’s house.

The air is piercingly cold.

The morning sun, beginning to peek out from the mountains in the distance, illuminates me.

I raise both my right and left hands in front of my face. for new novels

Then, with all my might, I clap them together.

Paan!

The sound of my clapping echoes through the quiet morning mountains.

Alright, next.

I ready my hands again.

This time, I focus on converting magic power.

I clap my hands with all my might.

...Silent.

With 【Magic Perception】 activated, I could see the shock generated by clapping my hands being replaced with magic power, spreading around and eventually fading away.

A week after realizing the potential of magic conversion.

I finally succeeded in clapping my hands without making a sound.

* * *

From there, it was quick progress.

Eliminating the impact of a clap or the impact from falling off the ceiling, it was all the same.

After several practices, I demonstrated a “silent landing” in front of Master.

Master silently nodded, then took me outside.

We arrived in front of a huge tree.

This world has lots of huge trees.

Trees that would be worshipped as sacred in my previous life are growing in abundance here.

So, bringing me here means, right, Master?

To fall from the top of this tree and do the same thing.

So, I immediately give it a try.

I put force into it and leap.

My body quickly soars high into the sky.

...Though not as high as Master.

As the upward speed slows, and I feel a gentle sensation of floating, natural law dictates that I begin to fall.

Two months ago, I had embarrassingly passed out here from fear.

But not this time!

I remain calm, keep my consciousness, and land without making a sound!

The impact generated is converted into magic power and spreads softly around.

“............”

I gaze at Master.

“............”

Master gazes back at me.

“............It’s all about getting used to it now.”

With that, Master turns on his heel and starts walking towards the house.

Ah, does this mean I’ve passed 【Grasshopper】, at least for now?

...Yes! Yes, yes, yes!

I’m so happy!

The struggle was real since I had no idea how to do it this time, which makes the joy even greater!

Yessssssssssssssssssssss!

Behind my internally celebrating self, Master continues on.

While walking, Master nonchalantly chops down with a hand blade onto a large rock lying around.

The large rock splits cleanly in two, as if sliced by a sharp blade.

“............【Mantis】”

Naming the technique, Master walks on as if nothing happened.

...A new challenge it is.

But let me say this.

Master, please stop doing that all of a sudden.

It scares me.
