Chapter 124: Metagen, Powergen and Sparring (2/2)

However, one arrow costs at least 50 units of Energy. In a fast-paced battle such as wars or duels or sparring where consumption of energy is higher than my absorption, I have to fight cautiously and take them into my pace instead. Especially now where my supply of Flux Energy was cut off and I only have to rely on using Energy Stones.

”Daisuke, why are you so fast?!”

Kazeyoshi complained when he once again couldn't hit me. Despite his speed and the enhancement brought by his Powergen, interchanging with a clone became my trump card.

I already finished sparring with the other two while they were using their Powergens, Kazeyoshi's the last of the three.

The result of my sparring with them was one loss and one draw. I lost to Amry at around 10 minutes when she utilized her Ability to its fullest possible extent while it ended in a draw with Matthew when both of us decided not to attack each other.

He gave up when he couldn't catch me and I gave up when I couldn't make a dent on his heavy armor even when using Dispelling Arrow. He's like an Earthb*nder who will bend the ground in front of him to impede the arrow from reaching him or even if it managed to reach him and disable the regeneration properties for a few seconds, he will use his Spiked Shield to block and stop me from taking advantage of his situation.

Well, they're all benders in a sense but their control towards the elements was surely higher than them.

Due to that result, their view of me changed and the doubt about being a Hero of another World who managed to drive away the Invading Forces was gone. Maybe in their minds, they're already thinking that if I manage to get my own Powergen, they will surely lose if we spar again if I use it.

Err… I'm already above 90 in Power Level while the two aren't listed as my Support. If I could estimate their Power Level, it would be around 75 to 85. Early Rank 5 Mortals.

Kazeyoshi is different though, he's probably around 90 as well, however…

”It's not that I'm fast, you're just easier to read. Try changing your attack pattern.”

I answered him who was about to lunge at me again. This guy always relied on his speed that he's neglecting the other use of his Ability.

Maybe his control was just enough to accommodate that kind of attack? I don't know. Amry and Matthew showed me the versatility of Pyrokinesis and Terrakinesis, why can't he?

He pulled out one of his katana and seemingly coated it with Meta Energy as well as his own Ability. After that, he also pulled the other katana from their scabbards. Initiating a 6-sword style attack, he looked really imposing.

However…

Just like earlier, he only sprinted fast again so a jump to the side was enough to dodge him.

This guy… no wonder he was being called as Windrunner by Amry.

”Think of other ways you can utilize your Ability. Don't just use it for speeding yourself up.”

I turned to him and shot three Dispelling Arrows which he dodged skillfully.

After that, he stopped and bowed at me.

”Teach me, Daisuke.”

Haa... What will I teach him?

I looked at the other two who had a smile on their faces and shaking their head. They're probably aware of this guy's shortcomings. Having fought him more than once during the three years, it's a miracle he's still alive.

”I can't teach you, you know? You have to deepen your understanding of your ability. I can only give you a piece of advice. You should spend the night here and mull it over. What can you do more with your ability and how to apply it in battle.”

With the dimension bonus which can increase our Intelligence stat, he will surely learn a thing or two. Hopefully

”Alright…”

Though a bit dejected because of my rejection. He still put on a determined face. I don't know, have I inspired him? Probably. He was already using his Powergen but he was still losing. That's enough reason to be dejected.

When I turned to leave the dimension, the other two chose to stay with him. They also wanted to think of something to improve themselves.

Ah. I might have used a certain passive skill called Inspire Allies. I guess that's a mission accomplished for a Support? If they improved then that will be a really happy occasion for me. Less work.
