I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 852: Personalize Training

With the interference of elemental spirits, Angus could only use fire elemental or any other elementals that Axel couldn't summon during the battle.

Angus found that Axel could only summon a few elemental spirits at specific times. Since the contract between the spirits is very sacred, he didn't know the details. But, he could summarize that Axel could at least summon one or two elemental spirits a day.

If he is fortunate, he could summon up to five spirits. However, there are also days when he couldn't call any of his spirits even those with close relationships. In summary, Axel's ability has a very high and very low limit.

Knowing this, Angus gives him extra close-combat training to cover this unexpected weakness. This time, Angus leaves Axel with Ilgor, the orc warrior. Ilgor may not be the strongest warrior Angus knows. However, Ilgor is one of the sturdy and strong warriors he knows.

Since Axel could still use elemental magic without summoning the spirits, he just needed to learn how to defend himself or avoid getting injured during the battle. Being an orc warrior, Ilgor is good at making someone strong physically.

Moreover, Axel's heart may break if Angus decides to train him personally. In fact, if Jayna hadn't had strong willpower and an obsession with getting stronger, she would have snapped at Angus a long time ago under his harsh tutelage.

Although his training is very practical, Angus' demand is also much higher than standard. Just his casual comment is enough to dishearten anyone after his harsh training. Therefore, Angus could only leave Axel's body training to Ilgor.

In the meantime, the blue phoenix Mia is also having a private training with Jayna in another training ground. Since the two others have personal training, Ian and Millie will also do some training with Angus.

In fact, Angus didn't worry too much about the two of them since they could hold their own against any fifth-grade combatant.

If they are lucky, they could even kill a fifth-grade combatant alone. In other words, their fighting capabilities are on par with fourth-grade elite knights or below-average fifth-grade combatants. This kind of combat prowess is enough to reach the competition's top spot.

"Alright, since your combat capabilities are enough. We will now do another training." said Angus.

"What kind of training?" asked Ian.

"Did you know how I could dodge all of your attacks even by a hair-breath?" asked Angus.

"Isn't it because you could predict our movement?" replied Ian.

"That's only one of the reasons. Another reason is that I have 100% control over my body. I could control how my body reacts anywhere and anytime." said Angus.

"Is that for real? How is that even possible?" asked Ian.

As warriors or close-combat combatants, they have good body coordination and control. However, achieving 100% control over their bodies is practically impossible.

Not only do they need to be able to control every organ and hair in their body, but they also need to maintain a high concentration level to be aware of their body conditions. This is entirely impossible even in this magical world.

The amount of concentration could put a massive burden on his mind and body. Just doing it in a few seconds is already a godly miracle. Yet, Angus could constantly do it all the time.

"Of course, this level of body control is impossible for you without my genius talent. What I am trying to teach you is to control your own ability. In Ian's case, you will learn how to control your body using Battle Transform."

"Although your transformation state is half-controlled by Marko, it is better if you get used to fighting as Nean Lion. There are huge physical differences between humans and Nean Lion."

"With better control you could cause more damage with half effort. It may also reduce Marko's burden. As for Millie, her training is more simple. She just needs better control over her soul power." explained Angus.

After that, Angus gives Ian a series of repetitive body control exercises. On the other hand, Angus lets Millie have a thread-and-needle exercise that Jayna had a long time ago. The only difference is that she will only use her soul power.

"Mas… I mean Angus, this string mana training is good for my current condition. A lot of soul skill using thread-like soul power." said Millie.

"Then, I believe you will get the hang of it soon. After you successfully get the tread to enter the needle hole, try to use your other hand and fingers to release your soul power." said Angus while giving Millie the example.

"Alright." said Millie.

After a while, Millie realizes this kind of training is more complicated than she thought. Just floating the thin thread without moving around is already a heavy task. Now, she needs to control it with precision along with the needle.

Seeing Millie struggle after a few hours of exercise, Angus couldn't help but be confused.

'Weird… I don't think this kind of exercise is difficult. Is it because the soul power is different from mana? But, Jayna could at least control the thread after a few hours of training. Though she can still not put it inside the needle hole.' thought Angus.

'Moreover, Jayna is still not yet forming her core. Her mana control practically is many times worse than now.' added Angus.

Seeing Angus blunt dissatisfaction, "Mmm… Angus, is there something wrong with what I did?" asked Millie.

"Just curious. Is the soul power harder to control than mana?" asked Angus.

"No. For me, soul power is easier to control than mana. Though, I don't know for others." replied Millie truthfully.

"Hmm… Then, why can't you do it after a few hours? I remember Jayna could easily float the thread." muttered Angus in a low voice.

"Ahh… Don't worry about it. Just take your time." said Angus after realizing his blunder.

"Ermm… If I may ask, did Lady Jayna also do this training before?" asked Millie.

'Damn, my mouth!! She clearly hears me.' thought Angus.

"Yeah. She did it in the past. Though it happened before she formed her mana core." said Angus.

"Before she formed her mana core? How long did it take before she managed to do it?" asked Millie with competitive eyes.

"About a few days. However, she never completed the whole training set. Still, she has around 85% control over her mana after the training." replied Angus bluntly.

'Though, she has almost 100% control of fire mana now.' thought Angus inwardly.

Angus knows Jayna is talented compared to others. However, he only thought she was slightly better than others. Moreover, Lilith and Brigida are also rare geniuses. Therefore, his standard is quite messed up a little bit.

Now, he knows Jayna many times better than others, whether it's her personal skills like mana control or combat instinct.

'No wonder Fire Phoenix chose Jayna as her vessel. Jayna was in a low grade at that time, but she is much better than others just by her potential.' thought Angus inwardly.

Meanwhile, Jayna suddenly smiles as she notices Angus' inner thoughts. She could finally feel pride in her talent even without the Fire Phoenix. Having a monstrous genius lover puts a lot of burden on her pride as a one-of-a-kind genius.

After feeling happy for this moment, she used [Flame Teleportation] and appeared in front of Mia. Jayna suddenly kicked her pretty hard. *Bang*

"Ouch…" exclaimed Mia in pain.

"Mia, How many times have I told you not to always rely on your sharp eyes but to use your heat sense? Our vision is limited, but not our heat sense. Tch. Tch. You are hopeless." rebuked Jayna.

Just as Jayna says her last word, Mia feels deja vu and unreasonable anger from inside.

"You are hopeless!!"

"What kind of phoenix couldn't even use heat sense?!"

"You couldn't even learn this simple skill. I am ashamed to be your sister!!"

"A phoenix who couldn't burn is the same as a waste, Artic."

Various mocking words and sounds are heard inside Mia's head. At the same time, her heart filled with fury and wrath.

"I am not a waste!! I am Artica, the one and only ice phoenix!!" roared Mia in furry.

Suddenly, her body is covered by blue flames as the whole training ground turns into ice rapidly. The only exception is Jayna as if the sudden drop of temperature is nothing to her. She just looks at the furious Mia expressionlessly.

*PIIIK* Jayna's calm behavior only aggravated Mia more. Without another thought, Mia rushed towards Jayna [Phoenix Dance 1st step - Feather Blossom]. Somehow, Mia can use a phoenix dance skill that she never learned or heard before.

Unfortunately, her opponent is also an expert at using Phoenix dance skills. With a simple step and rotation, Jayna counters Mia before harshly slamming Her on the ground.

"Sister, you should know better than anyone else that you are not my opponent." said Jayna coldly with her fiery phoenix eyes.

"Damn… Arghh… No, I.. I am not. I.. I am Mia. Argghhh!!!" screamed Mia in pain before falling unconscious.

'As I thought, Artica's soul is not fully merged with Mia. She somehow manages to retain herself during the merge process. It is not a surprise since a full-power phoenix could easily burn her immature body at that time.' thought Jayna inwardly while observing Mia.
