After finishing my meal, I felt refreshed. After leaving the cafeteria, I headed to the training ground again. Now I should use my traits as I train and try to understand how to use my mana. Mana control is one of the most important and difficult things for a hunter. Because in most cases, a hunter's mana is awakened during the growth of a human being, and it is not innate. It is a different energy body, just like a person suddenly has an extra limb. Therefore, it is difficult for people to master the use of any attribute mana. This alone shows how talented Irina is. She can easily control fire mana without thinking. Thinking like this, I entered the comprehensive training ground again and walked towards the battle room. "I can't stay here too long," he thought, seeing the crowd already piled up in the battle room, "But I'll try to buy some time." With this thought in mind, I walked into the battle room. Unlike training dummies, there are many simulated mobile robots here. You can fight with them to improve yourself and enjoy some alone time. "Ding! Morse Scott. Hunter Department. First year. Student ranking: 2450/2450." As I entered, a robot voice came over me. This was the training room's artificial intelligence, which would adjust the difficulty of the battle room according to demand.
"Please select the difficulty." After hearing this, I pondered for a while. "At present, with my attributes alone, even challenging the first stage may be difficult. However, I should evaluate myself first." "Adjust the difficulty to the second stage." "Okay, I'll adjust to phase two." The second stage simply means that the average value of all attributes of the robot will be 2. "Difficulty has been adjusted. Start in three seconds." "three" "two" "one" With a 'ding' sound, the countdown ended. The lights went out, and a group of mobile robots appeared in front of me, five in number. I picked up the dagger, got into position, and prepared to fight. "Hmph... come on." The robots rushed forward at breakneck speed, their movements synchronized and calculated, their metal limbs humming and clanking as they moved toward me, their glowing eyes fixed on me. I reacted quickly, relying on my enhanced speed and reflexes to dodge their first attack. Although my body was weak, it didn't mean I was slow. With the agility honed by countless training sessions, I successfully avoided their attacks. Bang! They kept attacking, and when I couldn't dodge the attack, I raised my dagger to block the blow. I aimed at the robot's power center while adjusting the position of the dagger. I dodged his attacks with precision and fluidity while trying to chop him with my sword. Clank~Clank~
With each collision, I observed the robot's patterns and weaknesses and used them to predict its next move. Bang! I tried to attack the robot's flaws, but my dagger failed to penetrate its barrier. "It seems that my current pure strength is not enough to cope with the second stage." I immediately analyzed. However, this did not discourage me. "That is to say, if I can't infuse my dagger with mana, I can't damage it." With this thought in mind, I tried to infuse magic into the dagger, just as I did before, imagining and directing the magic power. Bang! But this time, not only did he fail, he was punched hard in the face. Then, another punch came at me at lightning speed. I instinctively used the skill [Speed], and my mana instantly flowed through my body, and I felt my speed increase. Whoosh~ I twisted my body in an instant, barely avoiding the blow, but the force of the blow created a gust of wind that ruffled my hair, reminding me of the imminent danger in the battle room. "Humph, that was a close call." I thought to myself as I saw the gust of wind. Robots are no joke. "It's fun, though." Although I felt the danger of the battle, I could feel the excitement, and the thrill and adrenaline caused subtle changes in me. As the fierce battle continued, I found myself struggling to manifest my moon-attributed mana. The robots attacked relentlessly, closing in on me with precision and speed. Their metal limbs slammed into me fiercely, testing my reflexes and stamina. Bang Bang Bang I concentrated and attempted to channel mana into the dagger, but the process proved more challenging than I had expected, as I was unfamiliar with its uses and manifestations. Some may ask me, why try it in combat now? The answer is simple, because the most effective way to learn is often through pain and danger. Bang I was hit by several of the robots, and their attacks connected with my body. The pain was so severe that I couldn't concentrate for a while. However, it also served as a motivation, strengthening my determination to overcome the challenge at hand. With such determination, I stimulated the power in my heart. I felt the pain in my body resonate with the strange energy in my body, and my mind turned deep red. It felt strange, as if my body wanted to devour blood. As I dodged another attack, I focused my thoughts on the dagger, imagining the crimson mana of the moonlight enveloping the blade. Bang Finally, with a determined effort, my magic power emerged, coating the dagger with a soft red glow. It was not as powerful as I had hoped, just enough to break the robot's metal skin, but it was progress. "Daggers don't fit my mana." In the game, not every weapon fits every attribute of mana. I then launched a series of swift and precise strikes, aiming for the robots' delicate joints and weak spots. Each time I struck successfully, the moonlight daggers left marks on their metal frames. While it wasn't enough to incapacitate them, it weakened their movements and disrupted their attacks. Dangdangdang The battle intensified as I dodged attacks while carefully planning my blows. The robots, hampered by the moonlight dagger, became more predictable, allowing me to further exploit their weaknesses. I danced around them like a nimble shadow, with clear purpose and decisive actions. Bang Bang Bang As time went by, my control over my mana got better and better, and Yue's mana flowed more and more smoothly through my body. The once weak manifestation of power became stronger, allowing me to deal more substantial blows to the robot. It felt strange, the more I attacked with this dagger infused with crimson energy, the more I could feel my pain lessening, like I was healing.
This caused the mana I was injecting to become weaker every second, which resulted in me getting attacked again. It was a vicious cycle of pain. whoosh whoosh whoosh With a few final blows, I ended the fight, and the robot's missing body fell to the ground. "Ding! The second phase of training is over. New record: 15 minutes and 37 seconds." “Hoo…Hoo…” The battle room fell silent, and I took a moment to catch my breath, feeling the weight of exhaustion weighing on me. The red light around the dagger slowly faded, and despite the lingering pain, I felt a sense of accomplishment. I know that my mana control needs to be further improved. The energy given to me by the red moon both helps me and hurts me. It makes my attacks stronger, but it consumes more rapidly, causing me pain. It's a delicate balance that I need to master, but at the same time, I can't help but wonder why the light is crimson. My gut feeling tells me that there will be a lot of changes to this feature and it might get complicated... I need to understand it first. Taking a deep breath, I stood up from the ground. Although my body was in pain, my goal was unwavering. "Do you want to try again? You have two chances left today." Since the academy is full of students, there is a great demand for battle rooms in ordinary training grounds, so the academy needs to adjust such rules. I said as I stood up after hearing the voice of the AI. "Yes, adjust the difficulty to the second stage again." "Okay, difficulty adjustment completed. Start in three seconds." The countdown begins, and as the lights dim, the robots come to life, their mechanical forms moving once again with precision. And so I kept training until I completed my attempt...
