Chapter 3 - Wind Path Footsteps Technique

4 day's passed.

Carl slowly stirred slightly, slowly he wake's up.

beside him was Aria hugging him.

Right now she was now much comfortable toward's him and had treated him like a little brother in her perspective.

He sighed softly trying to get out in her embrace.

"Mm, A-Aria can you let me go?" He spoke softly and gently.

Aria slowly stirred up and instead of letting him go she simply hugged him even more.

"Your already awake?" She spoke rubbing her left eye gently trying her best to not fall asleep again.

Her orange hair was not tied up yet, her current hair, Cascade's over her graceful shoulder, she was simply very stunning.

"Y-Yes can you please let me go now?" He pleaded Carl really couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable every time her soft body pressed against him.

Finally she let's go giving him space.

He sighed in relief standing up.

Carl checked his body it was still pretty much skinny but there's improvement.

Currently he could now run normally without getting exhausted fast, he threw a punch.

The punch was now not as weak in the past it was really better than before.

Four day's ago when he punched it was like a feather weight but now, that feather had gained a bit weight, making it heavier and stronger.

Aria who was close to him couldn't help chuckle as she pinche's his face teasingly, finding it amusing.

"What's with that silly punch of your's~" She spoke with a gentle teasing smile.

Carl was rather helpless in her teasing as he sighed softly,

"Today since my body is now at best condition's getting the legacy would be close i really only need preparation." He muttered inwardly.

Just like that he got a inspiration.

He needed strength the most because Aria in the end of the story of Indra will die.

He soon shake that thought away.

"Currently i still have 2-3 month's left if everything goes in plan i should be able to save her." He muttered inwardly then slowly looked up to Aria with shining innocent bright eye's.

"Hmmm~ Aria is there away for me to get fast and strong?" He spoke pretending to be oblivious about the information about Core and Technique's.

Hearing that Aria couldn't help smile gently.

"Of course there is a way" She muttered as she added "do you want me to teach you?" She spoke lightly.

Even though most of her technique's was used in mostly weaving clothe's she still have some Wind path technique's.

Slowly she reached out in her Core,

Immediately in her palm a technique could be seen, there was a palm size scroll.

it was glowing with the color of green it gave the aura of an 1 star technique.

Even though she was at the seeker rank upper stage her technique was only five 1 star technique's and one 2 star technique.

Getting techniques are expensive even if they are 2 star or 1 star.

"Footsteps technique?" Carl thought looking at the symbol's etched in the scroll.

In the middle of it was a two foot that seem's to be running.

"This is called Footsteps technique in the wind path." She spoke gently and teachingly she was like a teacher trying to enlighten her student.

"There's many pathway currently the most popular one in this Era was Light path, Sword Path, Water Path, Earth Path, Fire path and finally Wind Path."

"Currently I'm not in any main path but I'm in the Weaving Path."

Carl nodded as if he didn't know any of it.

His eye's pretend to shined brightly trying to touch the scroll before him.

Inside Carl was also very excited and happy because in his luck she actually have a wind path movement technique.

In the Lore he didn't know all of his technique so Carl was rather surprised.

"Good if i have this my lack of speed will be elevated."

Aria didn't hesitate and give it to him.

"I still have one more of Footsteps technique I'll just consider this a gift from him." She thought,

"It's not like he would be able to use it so casually based, in his reaction this should be his first time hearing this."

She next tried explaining how technique's can be activated.

"Your Core is already formed all you need to do is to inject some Mana in the technique,"

"But first put it inside your Core close your eye's and imagine the technique going inside you."

Carl hearing that nodded.

At first nothing happened making Aria not surprised.

"It's fine when it's my first time i had failed 20x" She spoke proudly as if it was such achievement.

But she was touge–tied seeing him actually able to put it in his core in second try.

She blinked.

Carl pretend to be naive and smile sheepishly.

"Did i do it right?" He spoke with shining innocent eye's making Aria eye's twitched visibly.

She cough awkwardly her face flushing in embarrassment.

"I-It might be a coincidence?" She thought before speaking again.

"Now inject it with your Mana and don't worry for someone first time it's normal to fail atleast, twenty until fifty attempt's."

What she spoken was true.

Technique's are unique it was something one could not cast easily once getting it especially if it's their first time.

But Carl was a exception he have so many information and had actually tried the technique inside his core many time's.

His 1500+ attempt's have a ton of information some of the attempt's take's month's and some at minimum was week's.

Aria showed what she meant and walked outside.

Carl followed from behind.

Currently they are at a field her current house was average they are rather isolated but it gave more peace for them.

Slowly Aria activated the Footsteps technique.

Carl eye's shined brightly looking at Aria.

"Her speed is actually quite slow comparing it to normal person but using the footsteps technique."

"her speed greatly increased she was now like a expert athlete in running."

Aria showed what she meant and wiped the sweat in her forehead stopping before him.

"See? Just like that inject your mana," She spoke with a quite smug and achievement one.

Carl tried what she meant.

But Carl could immediately activate it but he decided to not activate it yet.

"It will be too suspicious if i we're able to do it easily I'll need to fail 9x atleast." He muttered in his mind.

He pretended to sigh softly in dissapointment.

Aria sighed in relief and thought, that what happened earlier might only be accident.

She pat his head slowly and gently comforting.

"Don't worry try it again." She spoke lightly.

He simply nodded.

2nd Failed 3rd Failed.

He continued to fail until the 9th attempt.

At this point she wasn't surprised anymore.

"Don't worry keep going." She spoke lightly again not taking to heart the failure's he was taking.

Carl seeing the time right finally activated it for 10th attempt.

Carl suddenly felt light magically his limb's are lighter wind shot through his body making Carl surprised.

Thankfully the field have huge space and there's no obstacles even in earth, he never achieve this kind of speed making it hard to used.

"This is hard to maneuver" He couldn't help but muttered.

He run around in circles trying to perfectly make a circle.

"Real life is still much harder if i was in the computer playing I've already mastered this,"

Aria blinked.

She pinched her delicate cheek checking if she was dreaming.

"What?!" She have that dumbstruck expression.

She started thinking about it.

"How..."

"Currently he only have a rare core when i checked same as me but how could his comprehension level of that Legendary core?"

She is too stunned and looking at him improve in a rapid pace it truly confused her.
