The Extra's Dominance-Chapter 29 Uneasiness[1]

We continued to travel and our destination is where the boss monster is.

I asked Levina to lead us, and she agreed.

Now we don't encounter a lot of hostile creatures because of Levina's presence. There are some who engaged fights with us, but the members of [Coldvale] killed them all swiftly.

And I don't want to do nothing as I get guilty, so I'm telling them the basic weaknesses of the new types monsters that we encounters.

I also don't know their weaknesses at first, I just asks the system and uses my trait <Understanding>.

With that, we marched our way in a fast but calm pace.

And whenever I have the time, I train.

I tried to increase my mastery with my new skill, <Psychokinesis>.

I'm also training to increase my proficiency with my electric attribute.

I'm also training to get a get my swordsmanship and wind attribute to a higher level.

And of course, I didn't forget to train my shooting skill.

"It's kinda rare to see an ability user using a gun."

Oscar said to me curiously. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

We are now resting in a safe zone(?), I don't know if it's a safe zone or not, but I don't see any monster near so I assumed so.

"Yeah, a lot of people told me that."

I awkwardly said scratching my cheek. I just chose the gun in the beginning because it's the only weapon I can use, but now I use it as my main weapon.

"Well, why don't you change your choice of weapon? Ah, is that why you're learning swordsmanship?"

Oscar asked me.

I shook my head at his question.

"I'm still gonna use gun even when I learn how to wield a sword."

Oscar looked at me that seems to be asking 'Why?'.

I smiled, then I opened my mouth.

"Because it's the strongest weapon."

I said without any hint of hesitation.

Oscar looked at me weirdly but I didn't mind it.

I'm serious at what I said, I racked my brain in the past about why did the gun became the weakest weapon.

Then I found out why. Now I'm trying to solve all the problems about what makes guns the weakest, and make it the strongest again!

It will take a lot of time and effort, I might fail.

'But I'll still try anyway.'

With that thought, I left Oscar and started to cook foods for everyone.

***

Fwoosh- Fwoosh- Fwoosh-

Clifford threw 3 stones at me as big as baseballs.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

And I blocked it all using the katana in my hands covered in mana.

"You're a fast learner."

Clifford stated with a satisfied tone. It's been 5 days since I joined them, and tomorrow, we'll fight the boss monster and leave this dimension.

"I have a good teacher, that's why."

I said teasingly with a smile.

"Oh, I know right?"

Clifford just went with my attitude, he headlocked me and messed my hair.

"Anyway, let's do some more."

Clifford let go of me and said.

"Sure."

I replied and raised my katana.

Clifford picked up 5 stones and covered them with mana.

SWOOOSH–

Then he threw them all at the same time at my direction in a terrifying speed.

Good thing <Calm Thinker> and <Insight> are activated to their max efficiencies as I'm also training them.

I used <Electric Manipulation> to manipulate the electricity in the cells of my body.

It makes me move faster and think faster.

Because of Levina guiding me on manipulating electrics, I became proficient with it immediately.

And upon having an electric attribute mana, the characteristics of electrics were etched to me and my whole existence adapted them!

Now my whole existence have 2 identification. A human, and electric.

What are the characteristics of electrics that everyone knows?

Electric's firepower is strong!

And they're terrifyingly fast.

I looked at the incoming stones in front of me, I focused myself and tightly held the grip of my katana.

When the stones are within my range, I swung my katana in a 'C' motion, and without stopping the katana, I continued the swing diagonally up('/').

TIIIING–!

Thud- thud- thud- thud- thud-

"Ugh..."

After a loud metal ringing sound, five stones falling consecutively were heard.

I blocked all the stones within a second, it's so fast that even me, myself was surprised at what I just did.

My head and body kinda hurts, but it's bearable.

"Whoa..."

Clifford let out a voice of admiration.

"How did you do that?"

He asked me.

I told him about how I manipulated my cells to make my movement and thinking faster, then I predicted the trajectories of the stones and blocked them all in one swing.

Clifford teaches me swordsmanship so I can at least tell him that much, also Clifford will most likely keep to himself what I told him.

Clifford doesn't have an electric attribute, electric is even the weakness of his attribute so I bet he wouldn't be able to copy what I did.

As I explained him that, the pain that I'm feeling disappeared.

"What an interesting way to use electricity."

Clifford mumbled out loud after hearing my explanation.

"Hmm, because you can do that, let's increase the difficulty of your training."

Clifford said then he smiled mischievously.

"Huh?"

He picked up 10 stones using both of his hands and covered them with mana.

The next thing I saw was all of the stones are coming at me.

My eyes widened for a second but I immediately regained my cool.

I repeated what I did earlier like activating <insight> and manipulating my cells.

I tightly held the grip of my katana.0

Swoosh-

And with one swift swing of my katana.

TIIING–!

8 stones fell on the ground.

CRASH-!

I just blocked 8 as the 2 stones will not hit me so I just let it be, but when the 2 stones made contact with the trees behind me, the trees got destroyed.

'If I get hit even by one stone, It's gonna hurt like hell.'

I frowned as I thought of that.

"I thought you'll block them all. I see, you're still thinking calmly and thought that you don't need to block everything."

Then I heard Clifford's voice, explaining my exact plan earlier.

Looking at his direction, I spoke.

"Yes, and also, I think that's the best I can do right now."

My face is calm but my head and arms hurts, my hands are also slightly trembling bacause of the force I recieved from the stones that Clifford threw.

'He's hella strong.'

I thought.

"Hmm, so want to stop now?"

Clifford asked me.

I shook my head and smiled.

"No, let's continue."

I said. What type of idiot who will let this opportunity to train with Clifford go because of slight pain!

Clifford smiled at my answer then he picked up 10 stones again.

I took a fighting stance, and focused myself.

"Then, Here I go!"

Clifford exclaimed happily and threw the stones in a much faster speed!

***

"Ouch...fucking hell."

I muttered as I massage my arms and the temple of my head.

It hurts like hell, at the end of my training with Clifford, I didn't get hit by any stones, but bacause of Clifford's raw strength, the force of his throws accumulated in my arms, and my head hurts as I consecutively manipulate my cells using mana for my body to perform much better than normal.

And now, I'm heading to where Oscar is waiting for me.

"Are you okay?"

Oscar asked as soon as he saw me massaging my temple.

"Yes, I'm fine."

I replied and recomposed myself.

"Want to rest for a while?"

"No, let's start right away."

I urged Oscar because the best thing I can do with wind attribute is to produce a wind ball in the size of a marble.

"Okay, let's start."

Though worried about me, Oscar started the training.

Then about half an hour of nonstop training, I created a wind ball in the size of a baseball!

"Ohhh, it's the biggest I've ever made."

I exclaimed with a smile on my face.

"Hmm, now maintain that for a minute then launch it."

Oscar said while nodding his head in satisfactory.

Then my training with wind attribute continue for hours.

After producing the wind ball in size of baseball, my growth in wind attribute that has been stagnant, improved drastically.

Using what I learned from Levina in training my electric attribute as a reference, I quickly increased my proficiency in my newly acquired wind attribute.

I can now cover things with my wind, also I can combine it with my skill <Psychokinesis> to make things move faster and lift things easier.

Now I can also increase the speed and force of my attacks.

"You're mana control is absurdly high."

Oscar said as he watched my terrifyingly fast growth, he's smiling and showing a huge amount of curiosity.

"Ah, yeah, haha."

I just laughed awkwardly, I don't want to be a test subject of a mage!

'My mana control is a rank higher than my overall rank after all.'

I thought inwardly.

The same goes to my agility stat.

'What the hell with my unbalanced stats anyway?'

My stats are balanced when I first came here, but they became unbalanced upon me leaping to <E-> rank.

I didn't mind that topic for long and ignored it as it's unbalanced in a good way anyway.

***

-Oh, you look tired.

Levina said worriedly after seeing my haggard face.

"No, I'm totally fine."

I replied with a forced smile.

It's true that I'm tired, but this is the last training so I should not laze around and finish it.

Now I'm gonna train my electric attribute with Levina.

Levina looked at me with doubtful eyes, but then shook her head.

-Today, you should try to at least summon a lightning.

Levina's tasks that she gives me when training are too hard that it's almost absurd, but because of her high standard and strict but non-knowledgeable teaching.

I improved drastically at using my electric attribute.

That's why I can now even manipulate electricity in my cells.

Even though her task today is hard, I didn't complained as I'll also need it.

'I think I'll need to create a chant to summon a lightning.'

Unlike Levina, I'll need a chant to summon lightning, at least at my current rank. But because I have a contract with her, the chant will be several times shorter than normal mages.

With that, I started to experiment how to summon a lightning using the lowest mana and shortest chant possible.

I trained for hours, then I achieved the best outcome possible!

"<Strike everything that is in your way.>"

"<Lightning Bolt>"

Bziiit–

Boom!

CRASH-!

A single discharge of lightning was fired from my hand and hit the tree I'm aiming on.

The tree fell on the ground while it's still burning, dark burn marks can be seen all over its trunk.

The lightning have a power of 3rd tier magics but when used against creatures that are water based attributes, it can be as strong as 4th or even 5th tier magics.

-As expected of my partner, it's weaker than my lightnings but it's satisfactory!

Levina said nodding her head.

'Finally! Her standards are high. I already blasted a lot of lightnings but Levina said that it's too weak thus I have to redo it again and again, until I reached this result.'

And inventing chants is making me cringe, It took a lot of my mental health just to create one.

"I'll rest for a while."

-Okay, see you later.

-Kyuu!

I leave Yuki to Levina from time to time as I don't want Yuki to be alone in the spatial storage everytime.

I also can't care for her while training, so I don't want Yuki to feel lonely.

Levina like Yuki a lot so I leave Yuki to her.

With that small summary, I left Levina and Yuki and went to my tent.

I brought my own tent.

I sat inside in a lotus position and started to meditate and circulate mana inside my body.

I always rest like this, along with that, I organized my thoughts.

'I already have the material for my weapon.'

I decided to use the meteor for a katana as I already have [Nyx] as my gun, which is with Tyrone at the moment.

'I also need to increase my mana control as much as possible.'

If everything goes smoothly tomorrow while fighting the boss, we will all leave this dungeon happily.

'Is there something that I can do?'

I asked myself as I continue to meditate.

After meditating, just as the usual, I cooked for the group and we eat peacefully, I didn't get any more training as we're gonna fight the boss monster tommorow so we need to be in a good shape.

I went to my tent and took out something from my spatial storage.

It's a [Mellow Flower].

'I'll use it later anyway.'

The method I thought of to help Clifford and the others is to be as strong as possible when confronting the boss.

This herb in my hand will make my mana capacity bigger, it will also make my mana control better.

So without further ado, I sat down in a lotus position then I swallowed the herb raw.

Gulp-

As soon as I swallowed it, a bitter taste lingered in my taste buds, it's so bitter that my expression crumbled.

I closed my eyes and started circulating my mana to make the herb as effective as possible.

Levina and Yuki are outside the tent guarding me, usually I'll refuse them, but I didn't as I need to focus on absorbing the herb as much as possible.

[Mellow Flower] is a high class herb that can only be found in <B> rank or higher dungeons.

So it'll take a lot of time to absorb it.

And with all of that, I entered the state of trance.

***

"Fuuu..."

Fully absorbing the herb's effect, I let out a breather and opened my eyes.

A bright light going through the thin cloth of my tent entered my eyes, blinding me slightly.

I frowned. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄o𝐦

I started at night and now it's morning.

But my face relaxed upon feeling that I'm full of energy, no, I feel lighter than usual.

The mana inside me bacame more easy to control and I can also feel my capacity became bigger.

I tried looking at my stats but nothing changed.

"Guess it's not gonna be that easy anymore huh."

I muttered and closed my status window.

I left the tent and got greeted by everyone.

I started to cook, then after we eat, we headed where the boss monster is.
