Chapter 269 - Learning The Mystic Arts, not so fast (1/2)

”Might as well! Otherwise, I will think that this trip was a wasted one,” said Kenichi as he stood up from his chair.

Ancient One smiled after hearing Kenichi's response as she stood up herself than said: ”Since you want to become strong, it really shouldn't matter how you gain strength the important thing is you do gain strength.”

”Yeah that's right,” Kenichi said nodding his head.

Ancient One than looked at Kenichi and struck her palm towards him, out of instinct Kenichi dodged the palm by jumping backward.

”This! I am not trying to attack you, I just needed to bring out your astral projection so that we could get you to travel the different dimensions and let your astral projection link with them” stated Ancient One.

”I am sorry! I know about that but it is just my instincts that took over me that's all” Kenichi said as he walked forward once again standing in front of Ancient One.

Ancient One was surprised to hear that as she never thought his instincts would be so sharp that it would help him dodge her palm, even though she doesn't focus on her hand to hand skills as much as her mystic skills. She still has been training for 500 years and to dodge her palm just based on instincts shows how great fighter Kenichi has become.

”OK, this time I won't dodge,” said Kenichi as he stood in front of Ancient One.

Ancient One nodded her head but this time she also increased the speed of her palm such that even if Kenichi tried to dodge it he won't be able to do that.

Kenichi, of course, saw the palm coming towards him with incredible speed and his body even tried to dodge it but he mentally controlled himself from dodging it.

The palm struck and Kenichi's astral projection was thrown out of his body from his back. Kenichi was feeling as if he was free and doesn't have to feel the weight that he was carrying.

”Let's go, we have a journey to start,” said the astral projection of Ancient One, Kenichi was so immersed in his new feeling that he didn't even saw Ancient One's astral projection coming out of her body.

After returning back to his body, Kenichi did a little stretching so as to check if there is anything different in his body but he didn't feel anything different from his body though he did another source of energy other than his Ki inside him now, though it was more like a gate instead as it was dimensional energy which isn't stored inside the body but is linked with it so that whenever the user of mystic arts need it they can use the link to get the dimensional energies and perform the mystic arts.

”Now you have the dimensional energy inside you, so we can start your training,” said Ancient One.

”Great than what do I have to do?” asked Kenichi

”Nothing much you just have to learn these languages, so that you could perform your spells,” said Ancient One as 12 thick books came out of nowhere dropping in front of Kenichi who caught them all instinctively.

”Wait! What?” Kenichi exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Ancient One who was smiling while looking at him.
