Chapter 13 Water slider technique

This is no brainer question, of course I chose movement technique because this Prabha which is the one in front of me right now is the fastest ksatrya in history. In the future he will be known as the God of speed.

"I choose movement technique"

It didn't take long for me to answer this question which make Prabha questioning my decision. He is thinking I was to rush to make decision without thinking first.

"oh why is that?"

Of course I can't tell him that I know his future to answer that question.

"because by improving my speed, not only I can avoid being kited or at least harder to kite, but I can also run away if the enemies are too strong for me"

I just made up any reason on the spot to hide my real thought.

"emm a bit standard answer but it's okay somewhat it's still reasonable"

"because you've specialist water element proportion I will teach you water slider technique (A rank)"

"this technique is much faster than flicker movement technique unless you master it"

"of course as an (A rank) mantradhara this technique is consuming much more mana than flicker movement technique so you must mainly still use flicker movement technique and only use water slider technique to caught your opponents off guard"

"do you wanna learn it?"

"yes teacher please teach me water slider technique"

Of course I want it. This technique was the basic technique of blue surfer technique (S rank) created by the former raja of Dahana, Sakti Guna who known as greatest scholar in the world.

In the novel I read Hanom Saharto give this technique to Prabha as a reward after he offered thought guiding technique to Dahana.

This S rank mantradhara rewarded to Prabha who has wind specialist elemental proportion to reward him from his very dangerous mission in stealing special technique of other country. As a reader I can feel maliciousness from this act. But Prabha managed to adapt and improve this technique to god speed technique (S rank) wind mantradhara which is faster and consume less mana than blue surfer technique make him the fastest ksatrya to ever existed in this world.

Prabha began to teach me water slider technique

"this technique use water from your feet to propel you instantaneously to the front and make it look like you are sliding on the water"

"the pressure point of this technique is you must capable to shoot strong jet of water instantaneously form the soles of your feet"

"the moment you are capable of doing that the rest of this technique will be very easy"

Prabha guide me for about two hours before he left me to train alone. As a Commander he have a lot of responsibilities so he can't accompany my training for too long.

I don't think shooting jet of water from the soles of my feet wiil be this difficult. Most of my mantradhara were using mouth or palms as a release point. After training in them for about two years, I'm too familiar with releasing mantradhara from my mouth or palms, make me feel so unfamiliar and uncomfortable releasing mantradhara from the soles of my feet.

After training alone in the training ground for a while without achieving the results that I want I decide to ask for Prabha permission to let me go out to train in a shallow river.

Prabha easily give me permission after he put a rune in the back of my right hand palm.

"infuse your mana into this rune when you are in a danger"

"okay, thanks teacher, please excuse me"

I slowly retreated out of the commander room.

After flickering for almost two hours I come to my usual training place.

This place is the only place I know which suitable for my training. I'm not afraid going far away from the barrack because I know the rune Prabha put in my hand.

This rune is a coordinate rune. Prabha can teleport instantly in any coordinate runes he put and he will be able to sense the location of someone who infuse their mana into them. With this rune Prabha will be able to save me without any delay no matter how far I'm.

I stand on the surface of the the water and feel my mana flow in the soles of my feet. I concentrate to get the feel of it. After some time passed I try to propel my self by pushing my mana in my soles.

I try again and again before I managed to move forward on the water surface without moving my feet. In my 30 minutes of training on the surface of water I managed to move forward at the speed of walking.

My speed continues to improve the more times I put into this training. When the sun goes down I managed to slide in the water as fast as my flicker movement technique. But I can't achieve this speed instantaneously.

I decide to end this training and go back to the barracks before it got dark so I didn't make my parents worried.

The moment I arrived at the barracks, I directly goes to the commander room to report to Prabha.

"teacher I'm back"

"uhm yeah just go directly to your room, your parents already waiting for you"

"next time don't go till this late and make your parents worried"

"okay teacher, please excuse me"

When I go to my room my parents already seated around the table full of food and welcomed me with smile on their face.

""welcome baaack""

"I'm baack"

I smiled back at them

"sorry mom, dad I'm too engrossed in my training till I forgot about time, and make both of you worried"

"uhm let's eat first next time don't go out until this late okaaay"

"okaaayy"

My father just smiled watching my conversations with mother.

I feel that my parents feel happier here. This is the first time I watch them this cheerful after the war started.

After the war started, even though they always force themselves to smile, their smiles always hiding fears and worries.

The next day I ask permission again from Prabha to go out.

The moment I arrived at the shallow river I began to train directly.

After training for almost two hours I managed to move instantaneously. I concecutively using this move again and again until I got exhausted.

"huft..huft..huft this is really the hardest mantradhara I ever learned"

I took rest for some times to regenerate my mana and calm my breathing. I began my meditation on this riverside. when I'm done regenerating my mana and calming down my breathing I continued to train on the ground.

This is the first time I use this technique on the ground. At first I can't use this technique. Using this technique on the ground is completely different than using it on the surface of the water.

In the water I don't need to create water from the soles of my feet but on the ground I need to create the water first. After knowing this I immediately capable of executing this technique on the ground.

But like my training on the surface of the water at the start, I only managed to move slowly using this technique on the ground.

watching the sun position I decide to train this technique while at the same time slowly traveling bact to the barracks.

"ughh..."

Using this technique on the ground consumed much more mana than using this technique on the surface of the water.

This time I arrived at the barrack before the sun goes down. I come back totally exhausted. I immediately goes to commander's room. On my way I meet a lot of ksatrya, some of them ignored me, some of them saluted to me, and some of them seeing me with contempt.

I remembered their faces, especially the ones who saluted to me and the ones who look at me with contempt.

I smile and saluted back to those who saluted to me and also saluted to the ones who ignored me but I ignore those who look at me with contempt.

Well respect must be earned not demanded.

Uhm I don't really care about being respected though.

After I'm done reporting to my teacher, Prabha, I directly went to my room. I don't see my parents in the room because at this time they are still working at logistical unit so I decide to take a rest first before taking a bath.

"...up...sok.....wak...up...."

"ugh..."

I'm woken up by my mother, I wake up seeing her smile.

"let's eat first, your father already waiting at the table"

"but after eating you must take a bath immediately, you smell awful"

"ugh..."

I'm still in a half dazed state.

I didn't plan on sleeping I only plan to close my eyes for a moment to rest and then take a bath before waiting for my parents to be done with their work. But unknowingly I'm fallen asleep without noticing it. I guess I'm really tired.

"uhm.. okay mom"

"next time don't push yourself too hard okay"

Klesha smiled while touching Soka's top of the head. Her gaze at Soka is so warm.

After eating together, Soka immediately took a bath, he really smell awful.

Ughh my parents must be feel disturbed by my smell when we are eating together.
