Sure enough, shortly after, Hyun came to ask for another potion. Sylv looked at him in surprise and then gave him some.
Four times....
Five times....
Six times....
When Hyun wanted to ask for the seventh time, Sylv looked a little angry?
"Hyun...." Sylv stood up and walked towards Hyun.
Hearing his noona's angry tone, Hyun stepped back slightly. "Yes, noona…?"
There was a chuckle from behind Sylv, it was Sera.
"You remember it wasn't about what I said before...??!!"
"Remember!"
"What, hmm...?!!"
"T-To ask for potions when they run out... right?!"
Sylv rolled up her sleeves.
"Looks like you forgot, huh?!"
"Eh, n-noona?!" Hyun stepped back until his back touched the wooden wall of the house.
"Hm? Isn't there something that needs to be hit on the head to remember!?"
"REMEMBER... REMEMBER!! I won't overdo it anymore!!" Hyun's hand tried to protect his head from his noona's punch.
Tak!
Sylv flicked Hyun's head.
"Haa... Rest first. It's time for lunch"
"Okay…!"
"You just sit down, let me cook. Come on, take Sera to the dinner table!"
"Yes, noona!"
The two walked to the dining table, while Sera who was still laughing saw the behavior of her oppa.
"You're too excited"
"Hey... What do you say?! Do you want to be beaten?!" Hyun is ready to deliver a punch.
"Ruunn...!!"
At the training ground after lunch.
Seeing the many stones and trees that were split, Sylv stared angrily at Hyun.
"Heee...."
"Here... I'm a little excited, so..." Hyun turned his face away from Sylv's gaze.
Sylv could only sigh at hyun's behavior. Not only Hyun, Sera also did the same thing about overzealous exercises.
Tap!
Sylv's flick of fingers made everything as it was.
"Noona! how did you do it?!" Hyun's astonished expression couldn't escape Hyun's face seeing what was happening in front of him.
"You mean just now? Of course only I can. As long as you have the information of every thing before it is 'destroyed' by someone, I can restore it to its original state."
"Ugh.. sorry"
"Haa no problem. So, to what extent is the result of your 'enthusiasm'?"
"Hehe.. Look and you will be amazed!"
Hyun began to flow an aura on his wooden sword. This time he did it without closing his eyes and the aura produced, although not as smooth and dense as Sylv's, was almost close to him.
"Hmm.." Sylv saw Hyun who walked to one of the rocks.
The stone split as if Hyun was cutting a cake without any resistance. The cut marks are neater than ever.
"How long can you keep your form?"
"Hm, maybe about 15 minutes without a break and if while drinking potions, I can do it all day" Hyun looked at the aura on his wooden sword.
"Then what if while fighting?"
Hyun thought for a moment. He had never tried to maintain his aura for a long period of time to fight.
"If while fighting where the focus is divided, maybe I can only hold it for 3 minutes"
"Alright, before learning advanced aura, I'll teach you a breath to control mana in your body when fighting"
"Hm? How is it different from regular breathing? Doesn't it just need a rhythm that fits the body's movements?"
"It's true. But the breathing that I will teach does not only facilitate the circulation of dense mana. It can also increase your sense of surroundings, increase your stamina, make your movements more efficient and most importantly, be able to absorb mana from the outside and store it in your body..."
"... In other words, your mana won't decrease continuously when using aura."
"Won't I be able to use the aura endlessly?"
"It's not entirely wrong. It is also determined by how strongly your body supports it. Also, just one mistake when making this move, your blood vessels will turn around and you could die."
Gulp...
"Teach me, noona! No matter how much sacrifice I have to make. For the sake of becoming stronger and stronger, I'm ready to endure it!" Hyun's eyes flashed with strong determination.
"Don't worry! The breathing I will teach is my original. So as long as you master it, such a thing won't happen. But..."
"But?"
"Let me, Sylv, as the hunter UR ask you one thing"
Sylv's intonation and serious gaze, made Hyun a little wary.
"What are you going to use with that power?!"
A question about idealism?
Hearing his noona's question, Hyun sighed and closed his eyes.
"I don't know..."
Sylv is still waiting for Hyun's answer.
"Before Sera had a forced awakening, I was just thinking about getting stronger little by little. So that our lives both become better and Sera doesn't have to worry about her future. However..." Hyun looked down.
Highlight those eyes....
"My goal is to become stronger right now, just to protect Sera. Protecting noona and of course to protect myself" can be seen in Hyun's sharp eyes that return Sylv's gaze.
"Then what about the other people who need help?"
Hyun looked at his hands, "That's the thing those with great power do. If, I am given enough power to protect everything, then I will do it."
"Even if you have to fight the person you are..." Sylv looked hesitant to continue her speech.
"Ah, forget it..." The intense susana is now warm again with Sylv's smile.
"Sit here! I'll teach you the basics."
Hyun walked over to Sylv and sat cross-legged. Sylv's previous words were still hanging in his head.
"What do you mean, noona?
"Remember! The name of this breathing is, Deep Sea Area. When you use this technique, an area like the depth of the ocean will form. Where a huge pressure will be created. Which will pressure your blood vessels to keep flowing properly and prevent the blood vessels from overturning..."
"... In these areas, all your senses will be enhanced. The mana around you also becomes denser and flows softly. Every movement that occurs, both you and something in the area, will be felt by you."
"Now, breathe as usual. Also flow mana throughout your body! I'll show you how it works."
Hyun nodded. Then he did it like when he controlled the aura.
"Close your eyes! Imagine where those solids come out and hold them at a certain distance! Take care of your breathing and repeat this until you feel an area formed!"
The intensity of the training this time was very different from before. Removing solid mana and keeping it around the body requires tremendous focus.
Although it was very difficult, Hyun couldn't just give up. He kept trying it again and again. Countless times he almost collapsed from exhaustion.
"Focus!"
After trying a few times, an area that only Hyun could feel began to appear. At first, it only coated his body. However, it slowly began to widen.
"Good, keep going!"
The area continued to widen until when it reached one meter, Hyun felt that it was at his limit.
Hyun opened his eyes and stood up. Feeling a strange but extraordinary sensation in the area of one meter around it. The sound of the wind and falling leaves felt stronger.
Wushh!
A wooden sword from behind flew towards him. Before the sword hit his head, Hyun dodged it.
At first, Hyun didn't really notice it. But when the sword was a meter away from him, Hyun felt something coming from behind. With his reflexes and senses, the sword passed through him.
"Congratulations Hyun! you managed to master it," said Sylv accompanied by applause.
"Thank you very much!"
"Hahaha, seeing you practice this breathing, makes me think of that Lan Yi girl"
"Lan Yi?"
"Eh! You mean the Black Dragon, Lan Yi?"
"That's right! She was very firm and genius"
"Even when she first mastered it, she could make an area 5 meters wide"
Lan Yi, a UR rank hunter from China. Earning the nickname as the black dragon, a hunter who specializes in martial arts, she has a defense and attacks as powerful as a dragon.
"Did she also learn it from noona?!" Hyun was amazed to hear his noona was so great.
"Haaa... The girl was very obsessed with martial arts. She even kept persuading me to teach her by following me."
Sylv's face looked tired.
"Haha it seems like she's an eccentric girl" Hyun couldn't imagine if she was being followed at all times by someone like that.
"You're right. Even so, she can reach a high place only with martial arts."
Just hearing it, made Hyun unable to imagine how powerful this breathing technique was.
"Alright, forget about her. Actually, the advanced aura I mean is to coat your body with aura"
"But, since you've mastered my breathing, I guess you can do that during a fight or training."
Hyun thought for a moment before asking, "Noona! Are you going to spar with me?"
Sylv stared at Hyun in surprise, "sparring?"
"I want to gain new experience with this power. And I think you can help me, let alone compete with the rank of UR, it's a very rare opportunity."
"Looks like you're ready to go outside, alright. I'll only use one hand coated with aura. You can bring out all your abilities, no need to hold back."
"Thank you!"Hyun prepares with his new technique and also prepares his skills. On the other side, Sylv raised one of her hands that was already covered in aura. First, Hyun increased his speed status at the expense of mana status.
"Go ahead!"
At full speed, Hyun ran towards Sylv with his aura wooden sword. Once they were only less than a meter away, with the sword ready to swing, Hyun teleported to Sylv's back.
"Oh! interesting skills"
Tap!
Hyun's wooden sword that was pointing at Sylv, was able to be caught easily. After that, Hyun was just thrown away, as if he was very light.
Hyun got back up and prepared to make the next attack.
"Even though my speed and my attacks are precise, but how?"
"Indeed, if what you're fighting is an ordinary hunter. But your attack is obvious to me."
Tch.
Hyun ran back and changed all the states except the attack, to speed. By leaving the remaining 20%.
Fighting against enemies that only use one hand can be dealt with with speed, Hyun thought.
An attack occurred between the two. But unfortunately, Hyun's entire slash could be avoided and parried easily.
"You read the situation well, huh?!"
"Then I'll teach you how to fight if your situation isn't favorable!"
As one of Hyun's slashes coming from Sylv's left side aimed at her neck, Sylv's right hand quickly touched Hyun's arm holding the sword.
When caught, the attack that Hyun aimed also stopped. Hyun didn't have time to think about his next move, he was slammed very hard by Sylv.
Realizing his attack was broken, before his body touched the ground, he teleported.
"Again, huh?!"
A sword quickly headed towards Sylv from behind him. Sylv, who knew that, easily caught it.
However, when she turned around and grabbed the sword, there was no Hyun there. Only his sword was thrown.
Before she could fully regain consciousness, from where Hyun had previously been slammed, a punch containing aura was directed right at Sylv. With his speed status and breathing technique,
Hyun was sure this attack would hit her.
Of course, this is not included in Sylv's calculation.
...
"Why did you stop, Hyun?"
"What do you mean, noona? If I continue, my head will float!"
Right now, the position of the sword that Hyun threw earlier, was right on Hyun's neck. And the last attack, now only hits the empty air.
"Well, I guess if your opponent wasn't me, they would have died. And also the fire on the sword is a little hot."
Hyun was lying on the ground, already out of mana and energy.
"Haa it seems like I still need a long time to be able to fight with you, noona!"
Sylv gives water to Hyun.
"Hahaha I'll wait for that moment"
After that, Hyun fainted.
