Chapter 63: Connecting With Prana? Why? (1/2)

Mei realized that Arion hadn't done it on purpose, but she couldn't help but feel like running away for making an indecent sound accidentally.

Although she was inexperienced, she already had some awareness regarding the salacious matters between men and women.

But she couldn't help but wonder how a man's thing could be so vigorous like a beast.

And right now, her face was as red as an apple while Arion was too busy to notice such a beautiful sight since he was busy admonishing himself.

Mei cleared her throat and lowered down her bow before saying, ”I guess that's enough teaching for today. I will go take a bath now.”

The arrow disappeared just as she lowered her bow, and the bow turned into a flash of light before disappearing into her chest.

Arion scratched his head as he nodded with a silly smile, increasing the awkwardness in the air.

Mei quickly turned around, hoping that Arion didn't see how embarrassed she was, and walked away.

However, hearing her mention 'teaching', Arion called out, ”Wait!”

Mei felt her heart slightly racing, wondering what he was about to ask, and turned around with a smile, ”Hm?”

Arion asked earnestly, ”Can you teach me how to use a bow and arrow?”

Mei forgot about everything else and asked in a surprised tone, ”You really want to? Why?”

However, inwardly she was feeling happy that Arion asked to help him out.

Arion wondered why she seemed surprised but still answered, ”I have seen people using it and felt that it is really a good weapon with many potential uses. I feel like those who use a bow and arrow can do a lot on the battlefield, especially against Dreadlings from afar while providing good support.”

Mei nodded with a smile, ”Hmm, you are right. Not only does that point hold, but also you can accurately target your enemies' weak points if you have a good aim. So, I will be happy to teach you only.”

Arion felt thrilled hearing her answer as he couldn't think of a better teacher to teach him. However, he then thought about his training and asked, ”But then what about Old Zi's training?”

Mei put her finger up to her lips, ”Ah, yea, right. But no need to worry. He would be teaching you how to perfectly connect to your prana for the most effective usage and also close combat fighting techniques, and that includes you needing to learn close-ranged weapons since a bow and arrow won't be feasible if your enemies get close to you.”

She continued in a reassuring tone, ”But no need to worry. I can teach you how to use a bow when you are done with his training every day. I am sure he won't be training you the whole day.”

Arion said with glowing eyes, ”That's perfect. But I am okay with learning any kind of close-range weapons, though not daggers since I feel that it's too short for my liking, especially when fighting against monsters.”

”Actually, daggers are useful, especially when you are working with a team. Usually, people who are very fast and agile master the use of daggers since they could make critical, fast, and precise attacks when the enemy is distracted. But of course, you should learn what you are comfortable with if you want to develop a connection with your weapon,” Mei pointed out.

”Connection? Do you mean like forming a connection with a pranic weapon to get a pranic mark? But why does our liking for a weapon affect the connection? Aren't we merely merging with a weapon or an item?” Arion asked with knitted brows.

Mei answered, ”Actually, our universe was originally a dead place with no life according to myths. Then Goddess Alara, who descended from 'The Timeless Realms', which is a different plane than the one we are in, saw how dark and lifeless our plane was. So with her holy power, she breathed life into the universe along with our world. But what she breathed into our world was 'prana', the source of her power…a power that could do many amazing things, including the creation of life...a power that could continue to perpetually exist through the cycle of creation and destruction.”

Arion's mouth parted a bit as he felt as if he learned a lot of things in a short span of time. But he still didn't get what point Mei was coming to an answer to his question.

He already had formed a lot of questions in his mind after hearing some new terms but decided to let her continue.
