part - 4(3)

after the nap, we are back to our training mode and right now i am sitting on a flat tree trunk that has been cut, and as I sat on the tree trunk with the meditation sitting position master talked to me.

"Now it is time for you to use your red dragon power"

"master, I am a little worried about this part of my training "

"for what?"

"what if I lose control again?"

"look, it might have been traumatic that one time but that will not happen every time. this time we are just making you use the red dragon power through your feelings so that you can remember how you are activating the power. got it?"

"but–"

"if you really happen to lose control then I will stop you right away, okay?"

".....yes"

"good"

as I replied like that master said that then I asked him

"now for starters how can I bring out the red dragon power?"

as I asked that master replied to me with a confused face

"hm? what do you mean by that? the red dragon power is yours, right? it is like your power just think like you bringing your power out from the depth of your heat"

I did as my master said I did not know how but all of a sudden

*swii—*

a large amount of red aura is gathered around me as a huge wind blown up and so many leaves were in the sky by detaching themselves from their respective branches due to the wind pressure generated through my aura and clothes of the master are swaying in the air due to the wind pressure as he said

"now try to limit the amount of aura released"

"y-yes"

easier said than done but I tried my best and thought about suppressing the aura and succeeded in reducing it. as I succeeded the wind pressure was reduced. after looking at that master said

"now for starters concentrate your aura and try to use your sense of touch, ears, nose, and eyes"

as I was doing what he said to me he continued with his explanation

"as you already know the power of the red dragon is to multiply. so with the amount of power you released earlier, it would amount to 5 times which would be referred to as 5 folds and since you reduced it and limited the power it would now amount for 2 folds of your original strength"

as he completed his explanation I completed what he told me

"it is done, master"

"now as you have concentrated. tell me what you see infront of you and what you hear and also what are you smelling"

he was asking me like an eye doctor asking his patient during an eyesight checkup

as soon as I concentrated I noticed and told him everything I noticed like and then I noticed I was able to take note of the things that are way faraway yet I was able to notice those of course I got some mistakes as master checked up but how can he tell those I mean he is blindfolded right?

as soon as I said all those with that the initial part of the training was over. I undid the aura and took a break. I was getting the hang of it but man was it exhausting

as I was taking a break I asked master

"say master you are blindfolded right? then how come you see things?"

"I use ki"

"ki can be used that way as well?"

"yes, all things have ki but only the living beings can manipulate the ki while the non-living things ki can only be stagnated. so I use my ki and sense that ki"

"Woah~"

as I was being fascinated about that master changed the topic while saying

"now let us get back to the training actually let's step up a gear"

"eh? what do you mean by that?"

as I was confused master explained to me

"just let us see what is the limit of the power you can hold on at your current level"

"But how?"

"all you need to do is use one feeling that has pushed you to lose control in the last sparring match and if I were to guess it must be hatred. just use it and control the output to see the limit and once we see your limit we will start with the reduced aura and increase the output little by little until you remember how it feels to bring out the power instead of using your hatred."

Wait, is he insane!!!? I cannot do that!!

"master!!! what if I lose control?"

"I will just stop you"

"but—!!!"

"trust me"

"....yes"

as he said that I could not help but accept. I did not want to do it but I just trusted my master and I followed his command and closed my eyes and remembered all the awful things that happened to me yesterday and tried to control my hatred. I am getting furious. more and more and more and more

I can feel it. my aura is raising simultaneously along with my anger. it raised and raised and raised and raised and raised and all of a sudden

*—blank—*

-__________________________________________-

as katsu was raising his anger all of a sudden at a certain point his brain went blank and lost control over his mind while his eyes were still closed. he was subconsciously raising his anger.

when katsu closed his eyes. his expression changed to anger. His face was so furious that anybody would fear him and even might wonder who it was. his aura continuously increased that katsuro was taken aback and has an expression not that of fear but that of shock. as katsu's aura raised continuously it became so powerful that the tree trunk he was sitting on cracked. the stones that were beside the tree trunk were crushed the trees were shaking so vigorously that they are creaking so loud and huge cracks started to appear on the bark of those trees. all the animals were in panic in the forest and went as far as possible from the place where katsu was releasing the aura and a crater was formed where katsu was sitting while the tree trunk cracked even more and continuously cracked until it was blown away into bits. due to the blast of the tree trunk, a dust cloud was raised that was big enough to cover the crater.

as the dust cloud started to settle down right in the middle of the crater there was a silhouette covered in the red aura that was visible even when the dust cloud was covering it. as soon as the dust cloud reduced completely there was katsu who had lost his control standing there. his bright red eyes were literally screaming with blood lust.

as katsuro saw all this with a shocking expression he walked to the edge of the crater without any fear. katsu who lost control after seeing katsuro he moved his mouth a little just to end up as a scream of anger

"I WILL KILL YO—!!!"

as he was about to scream that completely his sentence was cut off in the middle as katsuro used a chop with his hand on katsu's neck which made him lose his consciousness and as katsu was about to fall he was caught by katsuro and after holding him he talked out the light after sighing heavily

"sigh~, oh my, oh my, no wonder that Solomon went as far as using the miracle sphere to bring you back. I never imagined that you would be able to control that much power without even proper training. even I was shocked at how much your limit of that power was at."

as he said that he moved katsu from the crater to a flat land near the place and lied him down on the ground.

*haaah*

I woke up from sleep while breathing heavily. in front of me was the master. it was already nighttime. it was dark and the master was cooking animal meat on the campfire and as he saw me he asked while cooking the meat

"oh, you woke up?"

as he asked me I looked towards my surroundings while fearing what might have happened and hoped that nothing of which I am thinking has happened. as soon as I looked at the crater I confirmed that my fears were real.

".... I lost my control again, didn't I? I can just tell by looking at that crater and damage I have done to the forest"

as I asked him while looking down he replied to me while still cooking the meat

"don't worry, I told you didn't I, it will be alright. and as for the forest let me remind you the mana that flows in here is of creator's. so it will just recover its damage and vegetation. anyway, that aside was anything painful in this entire process?"

"no, actually I don't even know when I lost control. it was as if I went into sleep but my body is full of cramps though"

as I said that master who was cooking the meat took out of the fire while explaining to me

"I did calculate your limit when you lost your control though. you can hold onto your control for 70 fold though you unconsciously raise your power. but after 70 fold you will go berserk like what happened today and yesterday but let me remind you that power is nowhere near enough to defeat the celestial creatures"

as he said that I was a little disappointed that means this is due to my weakness. as I was feeling down I asked him mustering my strength

"then that is my limit right"

"yes"

as I heard that I started to clench my teeth

"for now that is"

"for now?"

as soon as he said that I was confused and asked him as he replied to my question

"Yes, for now. the limits only exist to be surpassed. although it is a little tough I will make you control the red dragon power in this training span of 1 month and you will also increase the no of folds and becomes strong enough to fight the celestials"

as he said that he gave me the piece of meat he cooked I was thankful for it he said he would do for me and I replied

"I am really sorry for the trouble that I caused master. thank you"

as I expressed my gratitude to him he replied while taking another piece of meat

"don't worry about that. I am your teacher and on top of that I promised you did I? that you won't be harassed and looked down upon"

as he said that I remembered his promise from the memories that were passed on to me by Abeloth

—"that is why I am here"

as I remembered that

"master"

I was moved by his promise to the point of tears in my eyes. he really was serious about back then all of them were serious about everything until now. it was not that I was doubting until now but I am completely sure after experiencing this. nobody until now other than my family and my two best friends was this considerate about me. damn it

"what you don't want to eat the meat?"

as I was flowing with tears master looked at me and said that

"no, I do want to eat."

as I replied to him. I hogged upon the meat master gave me while clearing my tears even though they did not stop flowing I ate it as I was hungry. master was looking at me with a smile while eating his own piece of meat.

after eating we took a rest for the night and the next day training started before I even knew it.
