Chapter 271 - Winners

"…" Rai furrowed his eyebrows, not understanding what Theo was thinking. He scratched the back of his head and continued, "I don't know what you have understood earlier, but I will continue now. In any case, this is all I can say regarding your opponent's power.

"Other than that… I probably have two pieces of advice for you. First, Even though Magic Power is formless, you can imagine them as gas, liquid or solid, depending on your intention. Second, you can focus on your Awareness to see the flow of Magic Power.

"Of course, I can't say anything regarding Awareness since I'm not good with it as well despite being a doctor."

"Cheng Sui seemed to have mastered the next level of Endurance, increasing his natural regeneration and defensive ability… Also, Enrica has shown me the power of Awareness, albeit I don't really understand it. Can you tell me a bit, Teacher?"

"As I said, I'm not that good, but if you desire a textbook answer, sure." Rai sighed and started explaining. "Awareness means increasing your senses to the highest limit. Touch to feel the flow of Magic Power by your own skin… Vision to see the movement directly… Or Taste to know more about Magic Power and the affinity and so on.

"This is the next level of Awareness. Your Awareness is not that good right now, but I can teach you a bit about Awareness, letting you feel the movement of Magic Power. In other words, I can strengthen your sense of touch in a few days. What do you think?"

"That will be great." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "But how?"

"It's simple. You're going to feel it continuously. I want you to grow accustomed to Magic Power." Rai smiled and raised both his needle and paper. "These two will be helping me to do that."

"…" Theo paused for a moment before making a big smile. "Of course. I'm going to bother you to death."

"Just give me a break every other hour, you little sh*t." Rai's eyebrows twitched.

"Hahaha…" Theo laughed as their training began.

Rai tried to use his acupuncture to make Theo feel the movement of his own Magic Power inside his body. It almost felt nothing, but Theo managed to sense the faint movement as if an ant crawling inside his body. Meanwhile, the paper had been imbued by Magic Power to make Theo know how to control and feel the Magic Power at the same time.

This training allowed Theo to grow by leaps and bounds. It might not strengthen his overall Control, but his understanding of Awareness, Magic Power, and Control increased drastically to the point Rai drew a cold breath.

He had the same expression as others who had trained with Theo, excluding Theo's Master. All of them just couldn't believe Theo could learn something really fast.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team kept visiting him from time to time while watching the other two Blocks.

In Block C, although India Team had fought their best, they couldn't defeat Japan Team. India Team Leader had Shiva's Blessing, but Japan Team wasn't that pushover either. On top of Benzaiten and Susanoo-no-Mikoto's blessings, Japan was controlled by the only female in the group, Shibuya Mami.

Her power might not be as powerful as the other two, but Shibuya Mami showed another unprecedented level of talent.

Like Nella's Control, Cheng Sui's Endurance, and Enrica's Awareness, she mastered one of the five aspects, Technique. Her Technique was so profound that even without skill, she could defeat her opponent.

It was a different fighting style, but Shibuya Mami managed to win with only three skills like Nella.

It wasn't like India Team were weaklings. However, some had noticed it. Their current generations relied heavily on Blessing instead of the versatile Five Aspects.

After all, the easiest thing to make them famous was none other than Blessings. Yet, it wasn't enough to maintain that degree of fame if they didn't balance it with Five Aspects.

Although it came with disappointment, this incident told them to practice the Five Aspects more. As long as they didn't give up, they would be able to become great figures in the future.

Block D's battle happened the next day. It was the fight between Egypt and the United States.

This had become the most anticipated fight because the audience could see two different fighting styles. Egypt Team used the same strategy as most of the team here, relying on both Blessing and Five Aspects. Their team even had Goddess Sekhmet, Bennu, and Horus.

They were all strong in their own right and employed a good strategy. However, America Team turned the situation around with its weaponry. Despite having a God Rank Blessing, God of Thunder and protector of the mountain Pamola, Maya Hamilton still relied on a booster on her back to add more thrust when flying with her wing and some more.

However, the most fascinating among them was none other than their team leader, Hannah Baker. Her unique use of grenades and guns made her style unique.

Many people thought it was just a waste of money, but for Hannah, it was her own lifeline. She earned money to gain more money and used it to gain more money. That was why she didn't mind throwing money away.

People even started counting on how much money she used in the Block D alone and ended up seeing a whooping seven million Zils or seven hundred thousand US Dollars. Born from a wealthy family and mastered business, she had built many companies to supply her own needs, making her known as a unique, independent woman.

After two long days, they finally got two days' rest before the next match began. The first match would be between Thersland and the United Kingdom.

Many were curious what would happen when two Griffiths fought each other, especially after seeing how talented the two were. Actually, most of them wanted to see Thersland toppling the United Kingdom, creating another uproar in this competition.

Meanwhile, the other block also might have an exciting match because they wanted to see the winner between "Technique" and "Weapon".

In any case, Thersland was in the mood for celebration because every time they won, another record was broken… Which was also their own record.

Theo and Alea's names almost resounded in every corner of the country as the news about them never ceased.
