147 Aiwais Gifts (1/2)
Some the time passed after Yale started training martial arts with Aiwai.
After reaching the 1-star Novice Rank, Wyba also started to train martial arts and some other weapons with Yale under Aiwai's supervision, although both of them battled against ice golems and not against each other.
They remained with the same training routine until the birthday of Yale and Wyba.
Wyba had made a lot of improvements in that short time, she managed to reach the 4-star Novice and learned enough archery to be comparable with Yale before learning how to advance to the apprentice stage. However, Wyba wasn't good at controlling her Spiritual Sense, so she was unable to advance to the apprentice stage like her brother.
Wyba didn't like martial arts and other weapons, she liked archery, but she was unable to take any liking to melee combat, she preferred ranged combat. However, she knew that her brother was good with that kind of combat and didn't want to disappoint him by not training with all her effort.
On the other hand, Yale had been unable to reach the expert stage in archery, but when practicing with weapons he managed to improve his talents with the spear and the rod to the perfect grade; practicing with Aiwai was a perfect combination with his capability to improve his weapon talents battling. However, Yale didn't reach the apprentice stage in any of them.
Yale didn't bother too much about the spear and the rod, they were secondary to him, and at least he improved his talent in them.
The matter which bothered him the most was that he hadn't obtained any talent regarding martial arts nor reached the apprentice stage in it. Martial Arts weren't like the weapons; the system hadn't said that Yale could obtain talent in it just battling.
Yale liked the Martial Arts very much after training with Aiwai's ice golems, he was very good and could defeat golems of adult size with his child form. Of course, Aiwai restricted those golems to be capable of using only conventional martial arts, without their ability in martial arts reaching the apprentice stage.
There wasn't any special condition to reach the apprentice stage in martial arts; when the user of martial arts was good enough could find enlightenment in battle and advance. Talent and experience were very important to that and Yale were completely lacking in talent; his experience was enough to advance if he had talent, but it wasn't high enough to supply all the lack of talent.
Yale didn't know what kind of effects the apprentice stage of martial arts would have, but he was sure that they would apply every time he battled, so anything was great.
That was the reason Yale had a sad face in the birthday party Aiwai had made to him and Wyba.
The three of them felt like a real family who had always been together although they had only been together for a short time.
Yale wasn't an exception and loved Aiwai as his big sister, although she couldn't compare with Wyba as both of them had a stronger connection, Aiwai was comparable to Ange in Yale's heart.
However, even if Aiwai had made a birthday party and Wyba was very happy, Yale was unable to be in a good mood.
He was in a bad mood due to his problems in advancing with martial arts and archery, but he also was feeling that his training speed was lacking.
In fact, Yale's improvement in his realm, martial arts, and archery could be considered monstrous by anyone who saw him, but he still felt that his own training speed was too slow while looking to the system.
”Name: Yale | Age: 14 | Origin Level: 16 |Origin Points: 576/576”
”Vitality: 597 | Strength: 587 | Agility: 596 | Intelligence: 600 | Wisdom: 600 | Dexterity: 594”
The main reason for Yale being disappointed with his own training speed was that he wanted to go back to the Revgen Empire as soon as possible, but he couldn't leave Aiwai's side before having turned stronger and learned correctly from her.
