Chapter 236: A Warrior’s Breakthrough (1/2)

'One day, I will return the favour.' Jyorta clenched his hand into a fist, his expression one of calm. Due to the state of his blue soul, he was unable to retract his false persona. So, irrespective of what he faced, Jyorta was bound to remain in a state of calm, optimism, and filled with focus.

7:50 PM, Jyorta retracted his psychic arm, feeling a headache. He had been using his abilities for a long period, placing him under mental strain. As his psychic energy had been fully expended, Jyorta decided to call it a day.

Within this duration, he had managed to finish training with three red contraptions. The first was a normal barrier, the second was a flat plane that acted as a mirror, and the third was a flat plane that acted as a lens.

Based on how they were used, just these three techniques alone would raise a person's survival rate. Jyorta was satisfied with his progress. Based on his nurturing, his psychic energy reserves would be fully replenished within a week. So, he planned to learn more during then.

'But, this way, I would consume the entire month just to learn Line Controller techniques. It won't be possible to learn Area Controller techniques. That would be true unless I do something about my soul's state.'

Jyorta planned to first resolve the issue in his blue soul. Using the blue soul's abilities, he would be able to master the Esper abilities as long as he experienced it once. Extracting the memories and experiencing it many times, etching them into a person's being, turning them into muscle memory, or even instinct. It was possible for him.

But, he didn't know if Laila would strike again. It was wiser to leave the blue soul in its current state until he graduated. But, if he did that, his growth would be hindered. Also, there was the hidden threat of Ehara Gobi's memory fragments.

Thankfully, they were in his subsoul and Laila's soul tendril only roamed in his soul. It didn't seem to care about his Wisdom Parasite's soul, which worked in Jyorta's favour. But, since he wasn't able to grasp the reason for her actions, Jyorta felt conflicted.

'I'll deal with it in the same manner if it repeats. The slower my growth, the wider the gap between us gets. That would place me at a disadvantage in the future.' He firmed his thoughts, planning to resolve the murkiness in his blue soul.

He had already comprehended a significant part of his previous life's memories. With the passing of each day, his character was becoming more defined. Jyorta estimated he would finish comprehending his previous life's memories by the time he graduated from the military academy.

He was constantly changing his mindset, having faced one setback after another. He felt a lot of turbulent emotions every time he remembered such memories, then realising that he couldn't do anything about them.

And, every time he thought about the injustice he faced, he remembered the incident that plagued him every day, pouring chill water over the broiling emotions.

'I am standing on the corpses of 28 people.' Jyorta exited the room, making his way through the corridor, eventually exiting the Yellow Building. As he walked towards the cafeteria, intending to have his dinner, he noticed a figure walk towards the Head Office Building, looking solemn. It was Dalna Doppler.

Jyorta glanced at her for a couple of seconds, soon noticing Haesha follow behind her. He also saw Ashten Coorg and Esina Hawker. They were approaching the Head Office Building from different directions, their expressions resolute.

Staring at them for a while, watching their backs as they entered the Head Office one by one, Jyorta derived the cause. His fighting spirit was stirred, 'So, they have accumulated enough and are feeling confident. I will be left behind if I slack.'

…

9:00 PM, seated on a straw mat was a girl. Her surroundings were dark, the environment humid. It was silent, allowing her to hear the sounds of her heartbeat, which expressed her mild tension.

A gentle, masculine voice resounded, the source untraceable, ”Cadet Dalna Doppler, are you ready?”

After a momentary hesitation, Dalna Doppler nodded, ”Yes sir, I am good to go.”

Breakthrough!

Her mind resounded with this thought. In response to it, her heart rate changed. The heart was the first organ to exhibit emotions. It was in the sense that to express an emotion, the body behaves in a certain manner, requiring the heart to pump the blood accordingly.
