339 Dual Art! [3]
“... And that is how I achieve success with Dual Art. It was an incredibly difficult journey but I was rewarded with this incredible Art as well. However, you don’t have to go through that process and it will be faster with my teaching.”
Seraphine said. She was a Rank-SS Hero, however, it was the first time that she was doing something like teaching. Which made her quite nervous like a normal person. Nevertheless, it was her responsibility as she was the only one who could teach them.
The lesson had finally started and Seraphine was talking about the struggle of inventing the new Art. She was also explaining all the things that are necessary for them to learn the Art like good control over mana and enough mastery of the Art.
While she was repeating something that they already knew, it also shows that knowing this information was important.
Everyone was paying attention to everything that Seraphine was explaining. Fortunately, all the students that were selected were all brilliant minded and they could easily understand all the concepts that she was talking about.
Aside from Professor Mia, there was also Lisanna that Hiro and others were familiar with. She was also one of the most talented people under the age of 20. There was also Landon Wright from Arcane Academy.
Although Landon was eliminated in the first round of the Tournament Of Academies, he was considered to be one of the most talented with a good brain. There were also others who didn’t have any relationships with Hiro.
Following the explanation of most of the concepts, Seraphine demonstrated the Art and showed them how powerful it really is.
“OHHH!”
.....
“Amazing!”
“WOW!” …
Seeing it in person was different from watching it on TV. While many of them had already seen how incredible the Art was on TV, it was a different feeling when seeing it in person.
They could feel the mana and how two different energies mix together to form a technique containing both energies. Seraphine uses Spear Art and Fire Art to create an explosive attack technique.
Everyone was more eager to practice Dual Art after watching its incredible effect.
After showing her technique, Seraphine proceeded to teach them how to learn this Art. First of all, she had to check their control of mana. Only some of them reached the level of control that was needed to learn the Dual Art.
Therefore, Seraphine had to train them to achieve that minimum level of control. She already prepared a lot of equipment that might help them to control their mana.
On the other hand, those who had good mana control were to train their other Art. Since Seraphine knew that many didn’t practice two Arts and had only picked up Art when she had announced Dual Art. She knew that they lacked practice in their new Art.
While generally, many people would need months or even years to reach proficient proficiency in Art, she believed that the people that she invited were talented enough to achieve the same in under one month.
Those who had good control over mana were Professor Mia and Lisa Kyelpas. Both of them were mages who generally had good control of mana. Even among the mages, two of them were very talented.
Even Hiro and Zion didn’t have enough control over their mana to learn the Dual Art. It is because they were most of the time practicing their Sword and spear and does not require much control like mage needs.
Days passed and many of them became qualified to learn Dual Art. Before practicing Dual Art, however, there was one more requirement that they had to accomplish.
However, that was not really a problem. As Seraphine expected, the people she chose had incredible talent and work really hard. Many of them had only got their new Art one week before the lesson started.
Many of them, however, achieved a good level of proficiency in their new Art with their talent and hard work. Those who didn’t achieve the required proficiency were given a training room where they could work on their Art.
At the same time, Seraphine had also started to teach those who fulfilled all the requirements of the Dual Art.
Hiro and his friends were all qualified to learn. Currently, they were all trying the method that Seraphine was demonstrating.
-BOOM!
“AAAHHHH!”
One of them shouted.
-BOOM!
“AAAHHHH!”
Another one soon followed.
Learning Dual Art was not easy, especially for those who didn’t have good mana control. Even though they had achieved the level that Seraphine wanted, it was far from what was really needed.
Trying to combine two energies was like having fire and oil coexist together. And what happens when you try something like this? Explosion. Not only that their nerves also got torn apart because they could not properly control their energies.
They experienced pain that they had never experienced. It was worse than their bones getting fractured or them getting stabbed. It was literally like hundreds of needles poking at their nerves. Even the toughest guy could not withstand the pain without screaming.
Therefore, from the start, many people were getting injured and had to rest. Fortunately, Seraphine already expected such a result and had Rank-A healers on standby.
However, the number of injured kept on increasing. One after another, people kept on getting their energies exploded which eventually created some kind of fear for others.
Even if they kept the energy under control and stopped it from exploding, they couldn’t really use Dual Art. Including Hiro and Professor Mia, nobody could really use Dual Art on their first day of practice.
Seraphine was not disappointed as she expected such a result. It took her more than 10 years to get this right and even so it was difficult to control. She thought that it was normal for them to be unable to do it even with her teaching.
The practice continued for a few more days and there were a lot fewer injuries happening. It seemed that they were finally able to mix two of their energies without them going out of control. However, that was it and they didn’t go further than that.
Until they were too comfortable to be able to do that, they refrained from using their techniques. Seraphine also got experience as a teacher and was able to teach them well after a few days.
Finally, the first student to use Dual Art appeared.
“Hiro Ernest, well done! You’re the first person from class to successfully replicate the Art.”
Seraphine said. She was very happy that her class had finally produced one person who could use Dual Art successfully. While Hiro’s use of the Art was far from usable in combat, he could at least combine two of them and use them in combat.
From now on, Hiro only had to repeat the process until he could use this technique like any other Art. The moment that status gets updated with this Art, they can say that they have learned it successfully.
After that others also appeared to have gotten a slight idea about how to go on about the technique as they managed to combine their Art. They were also lousy and not really something that could be used in fights.
Seraphine was happy that her class was producing some kind of result. She herself was able to learn much about Dual Art as she encountered lots of problems with her students.
Therefore, the time she spent teaching was also valuable to her. She feels that she was able to understand Dual Art more.
They were constantly improving and many were showing results of being able to use Dual Art normally like Hiro and Mia Frostine. However, unlike Zero, they were also like Seraphine who could only unleash one or two techniques before getting exhausted.
The reason for it was that they had to spend a lot of mana and concentration in order to make sure that the two energies did not get out of control. It was like needing to pay attention to math class as well as English class and do well in both.
It was not easy for them, especially when they didn’t have two brains or two souls. Maybe someone who has two brains or is really an expert in mana control could only achieve perfection in such Art.
It took all they had to create a single technique using Dual Art. The mana that was consumed was also on another level. If not for the incredible power that is achieved when the technique is successfully unleashed, none of them would be spending their precious time there.
Many find it incredibly difficult to learn. The pain that they need to go through if they fail is many times worse than getting stabbed. Moreover, the Art seemed to consume a lot of mana making this an incredibly difficult Art to learn.
Nevertheless, it was an incredibly powerful Art that would help them become stronger. They diligently studied and practiced Dual Art.
