Chapter 19 - Vol 1 Chapter 15 Result of Learning in 1 Year

Looking up at the blue sky, I raised my right palm and pointed it up at the blue sky. [Em] energy flows from the heart, through the brain, then into the palm of my hand. The temperature around my hand increased, a small fireball formed in my palm, then the fireball flew off into the vast blue sky. After flying quite high, controlling the magic that was already flying, I clenched my fist that was still raised then said,

"Explosive Magic [Firework]!"

*Boom! *

*Pant! * *Pant! *

'Fuuh okay, my energy control has improved, I can now control my [Em] energy with 40% efficiency. But my energy storage still hasn't increased either. The magic just now drained about 20% of my magic. With my Efficiency being only around 40%, the Energy I actually use is only 8%...' I thought with disappointment feeling that my magic hasn't really improved over the past 1 year. (A/N: Hehe, I challenge you to comment on how I calculate energy usage so I can get the figure 8%)

"Haha...Good job William-kun..." Roxy laughed awkwardly seeing my magic.

"Master Roxy, I can do that too!" Rudeus, who feels that Roxy's favorite student position is in danger of being taken away, also shows off his magical abilities.

Rudeus then casts dual magic that is difficult for novice magicians to do, fire and wind magic in each palm, then he throws it into the sky which makes the two magic collide and produce a quite large explosion.

*Boom! *

"How's that Master Roxy, my magic must be more powerful right?" asked Rudeus, folding his arms on his chest with his proud face.

Roxy then stroked Rudeus' head and praised him with a faint smile,

"Yeah yeah, you're great Rudy."

"Why can my two students do magic without chanting, but I can't..." Roxy muttered with a sad face.

'I feel that my body can no longer store more [Em] Energy than this. Because the structure of the human body is not able to accommodate this very pure Energy in large quantities. I need another way to become strong.'

Thinking about the deadlock in my magic development, I then asked Roxy,

"Roxy-sensei, is it okay for sensei to teach me more about magic circles?"

"Magic circle? Sure, I'll teach you later."

"Master Roxy, me too, please teach me too!" Rudeus, not wanting to be left behind, quickly asked to be taught too.

"Yes, Rudy will come too later," answered Roxy with a smile.

It's true that he's really an annoying kid, if it's about Roxy he'll be excited. Everything is done to attract Roxy's attention.

I also don't really care about Rudeus' attitude. I'm currently thinking about a solution to the deadlock in the development of my magic field. Actually, I already have a solution to this problem, but I don't know whether it can be done practically.

For that I also need to learn about magic circles. Because this is an important part of my theory to solve my magic deadlock problem and can even take me to a higher level.

"Yosh Rudy, this is your first time taking part in swordsmanship training. For starters, try following your father's movements first."

Currently Paul is teaching swordsmanship to Rudeus. Today I was only told to do independent exercise and the routine physical exercise that I usually do.

Because I started first and was already at the Intermediate level in all swordsmanship styles. But because my body is still small, I still can't reach Advanced-level.

Even though I've reached Intermediate-level, that's just in technique. When compared to an adult with Intermediate-level swordsmanship. It is certain that I will definitely be at a disadvantage because my energy is still that of a small child. And also my small hands make my attack range very short. Which means, I still have a hard time defeating an adult whose swordsmanship is on the same level as mine.

*Crash! *

The large rock located in the courtyard was split due to a sword slash from Paul who was demonstrating sword techniques to Rudeus.

"Rudy, try to do like dad."

"Allright!"

*Tak! *

Rudeus is then told to imitate it but can't do it. Only the sound of a wooden sword hitting a stone could be heard.

"It's not like that, it should be Hup! Then Gyuut! then Baam!" Paul retaught Rudeus in the alien language he used to pass on to me.

Rudeus tried as Paul explained and still couldn't, then Paul suddenly told Rudeus to practice with me.

"Hmm, Will was able to do it straight away. Try learning from Will how to do it."

"Will-niisan, how did Will-niisan do it?" asked Rudeus approaching me.

Seeing Rudeus approaching me, and hearing his question. A very brilliant idea came into my head.

"You must not be used to using a sword, you have to get used to using a sword. So you have to spar with me." I said with the brightest smile possible to Rudeus.

Rudeus, who heard that, had a bad feeling. Cold sweat flowed from his forehead, then he tried to run.

When Rudeus wanted to run, I kicked his knee joint in the back, making him fall. Then I swung my sword towards the sword Rudeus was holding to block hard.

*Clack! *

"Come on, use your sword! Don't just dodge!" I shouted, kicking him in the stomach.

"Bugh! It uses legs, not swords..." Rudeus last muttered before falling unconscious.

"Hey Will, you're too much!" Paul snapped, scolding me for making Rudeus fall unconscious.

"Sorry."

I guess that's too much, but it's just discipline. That's right, this wasn't because I was in a bad mood and wanted a punching bag to hit. This is just discipline and training.

"How is that Michael-sensei, have you found a traveling merchant who wants to buy your painting?"

I'm currently having a painting learning session with Michael on my usual schedule. Today Rudeus didn't take part in the painting learning session because I knocked him out at noon this afternoon.

"Hehe, listen and be surprised William-kun." Michael grinned and laughed happily.

"My paintings are very popular, even the traveling merchants who come to this village are fighting over them!"

"Oh, is that true Michael-sensei!" I was surprised to hear that Michael's paintings were very popular among traveling salesmen.

Michael then came closer and whispered to me very excitedly,

"That's right, they bought it at a high price, around 10 Gold Asura for one of my paintings. And I've sold 3 paintings! I now have 30 Gold Asura William-kun. I'm rich William-kun!"

Pushing Michael's face that was too close, I then said,

"This is still not enough Michael-sensei, can you do crafts?"

"Crafting? I can do it, it's very easy for me, Michael da Vinci!" Puffing out his chest Michael said arrogantly and confidently.

"Is it true, Michael-sensei?" I asked with suspicious eyes looking at Michael.

Michael then took small tree branches and connected them to form a bridge that was shaped like a semicircle.

"Look at my work, the Michael da Vinci Bridge! This bridge is very sturdy even though there is no adhesive."

Seeing the bridge design that Michael made, make me feel familiar.

"Apart from this, can Michael-sensei make necklaces and earrings?"

"When it comes to art, nothing is difficult for me, Michael da Vinci!" replied Michael arrogantly.

"Good, yesterday I saw lots of colored stones near the river here. Michael-sensei can make crafts from these stones or carvings to sell as attractive accessories. With this Michael-sensei's income will increase," I said, telling Michael my new business idea.

"Ohh As expected from William-kun, I will do as you command my god. All for the sake of the cult Will of God." Michael said while kneeling

"That's right, All for the sake of the cult Will of God...."
