Chapter 4: Ranking Up!
Once I returned to the Super city, I registered one private room for my training.
The training was meant for 10 hours so I chose a 10 hour private training room.
This training room was provided by the federation where my Dad works.
As a benefit of my Dad working there, I got the training room for free without anything to pay.
This was some sort of privilege given to those families whose one family member was working in the federation.
But before really going to the room, as there were different types of rooms based on the rank of the human, I got into room no.1-C because this room can handle the rank 1 energy generated by me.
The federation specifically has rooms starting from 1 to 5 and 5 being the room that can handle rank 5 energy.
This kind of room was so expensive and the federation hardly had 4 rooms.
Building such rooms requires a huge amount of resources and energy, so not everyone can go for it.
The room that I got was kind of spacious and the walls were rigid. These walls were not a normal wall but a wall that can hold rank 1 energy and no sound could pass through it.
I could even see different kinds of weapons and swords hanging in a standard position.
I was really delighted to see those weapons and then I took one weapon and gave it a shot!
Slang!
This sword was so sharp and shining from the edges.
I wish I did have one, but I already have one so I kept it back at its place.
Here, my mission was not to see and explore those weapons but to channel my mana as per the Cryomancy Skill.
Firstly, I sat on the mat provided by the room.
Then I slowly channeled my mana ..
But with one condition that my mana has to be changed to Ice energy for the Skill.
So, to do this I took almost 1 and half hours to convert it to the Ice energy.
Even after spending that much time, the result was not really good.
I focused on one thing: to convert it into Ice faster and easier.
Anyways I continued to do it and in the middle of the process I also tried to use Cryomancy Skill: Ice Shard which is attacking with the help of Ice Shard.
While doing all those things, it has passed 8 hours leaving me with just 2 hours to use the room.
So in that 8 hours I have acquired a lot of ideas of the Skill starting from some basics to how to make an effective use of the Ice magic.
So just like that, another 2 hours passed and in the last 10 minutes I could at least make 1 meter of Ice.
As of now, all this process of making just 1 meter of Ice Shard was kind of worthless and I have wasted so much time just for it.
Ahhh!!
And most importantly, I have used maximum of my mana just for 1 Ice Shard.
I felt like not doing this anymore but I didn't lose hope and for the rest of the following days, I came here and did my training.
Even to my parents, I had already informed them that I will be doing my training at the federation room until the academy begins.
Day after day, after practicing consistently I could see some improvements like I was able to convert the mana into Ice energy so faster and efficiently.
At the beginning the mana took 1 minute to form Ice energy which is used to freeze a bottle of water, but now I can do it in 1 second.
Additionally, now I can implement Cryomancy Skill : Ice Shard in just 10 seconds consecutively 5 times.
Being consistent is the key to any success, and on top of that having had Cryomancy LVL 9 Skill, my Ice Magic has leveled up and reached a high level where even the rank 2 mage cannot control the ice magic as I can do.
I can even increase the size of the Ice shard from 1 meter to 3 meters though it takes a lot of my mana but using such an Ice shard attracts a heavy destruction like the rank 2 attack.
When I am just a rank 1 + but having such LVL 9 magic Skill to show is so rare to be found.
So, I was kind of a special person in this world.
Ever since I got the Skill : Mind Memory, it has been several weeks and my mind has been collected.
As I know that the world here is going in the same direction as the world there in the novel.
I know what to do and how I should do it. But should I do the same in the novel or should I not?
Or just don't give f**king damn on it!
Maybe I have acted naturally as written in the novel before knowing that the world here is the same as the world in the novel.
However, now that I know about the truth I just want the world here to go in the direction of the novel's world.
But when I had this decision I just can't go blindly because the novel is still going on and hasn't yet completed.
The one thing that I know and 100 percent sure is that the MC will definitely be the hero solving a lot of problems.
And If we are going in the novel's direction, many wronged organizations can be eliminated and make a better society to live in.
From one point of view, it may be a good thing to go with the flow as exactly as in the novel.
But, on the other hand, I don't think I can do it the same.
As you already know that I am not that important character in the novel but like I also want to be the MC.
I concluded to follow the novel's idea which would be interesting as well as dangerous.
One fine day I went to look at the calendar and I found that I had only few weeks left to join the academy.
But within that few weeks left for me, I really feel like I can break through the next rank.
By practicing Cryomancy Skill I could see a lot of my mana being exhausted.
It means that higher the level of the Skill, higher the exhaustion of the mana but one could rank up so faster then the normal pace.
Now that I have only 5 days left to go to the academy I intensely did my training specially the Sword Skill : Shadow Style.
Since I had good control over the mana by now with the help of the Cryomancy Skill, I could rapidly increase my strength of Shadow Style.
[ Finally here comes the end of my training and the following day I have to go to the academy.
And also, the end of the chapter 1 of the Novel! ]
