BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90 Coming Up With A New Theory
The arrow pierced the armor and soon emerged from the back of the dummy and continued moving for some time but the professor used a spell to stop her arrow, so it doesn't damage Academy property.
Rishi saw that a big spiral was there in the stomach area of the dummy, this was the type of attack that could take down even a powerful Dungeon Boss in one headshot.
"Rishab, you should also learn how to use poison, this skill is the best when it comes to poisoning an opponent. You will even be able to defeat opponents way above your level if you used it correctly, I suggest you to apply for Toxicology course and purchase some legal poisons with antidotes for fighting with humans and strong poisons to use against monsters." suggested professor.
"Thank you Mam, I will apply for the Toxicology course as soon as possible," replied Rishi.
"I will prioritize on teaching you this skill before teaching you other skills, Be prepared for this month; you will need to work extra hard." said the professor.
"One more thing there was an archer in your guild? Tell him to meet me" she added.
"Mam can I ask why?" asked Rishi.
"Don't be like we will eat him or anything; the archery department is happy with his recent performance. So we have decided to focus on grooming him by giving him a personal tutor and other benefits, Don't worry we are not trying to separate him from your Guild." replied the professor.
"Thanks, mam, Jay will be overjoyed," said Rishi as he bowed a little.
"Oh my don't be that way, I can even recommend even you if you promise to focus solely on archery," replied Professor.
"Thank you for your offer mam but I can't give up on any of my weapons, Both sword and Bow are a part of me. I will either become a master of both or forever remain average on both, but I will never regret my decision" replied Rishi with bright eyes and a confident tone.
"That's the spirit, always believe in yourself no matter how many people try to say that it is impossible, Rember nothing is impossible it is just never done before correctly by others. You are creating your own path in a world where everyone tries to follow an easy and clear path; if you become successful, the people will always remember you as a pioneer who walked on a path filled with thorns and surrounded by mist."
"Enough talk, now let's focus on your training," said the professor as she started teaching Rishi the basic concepts of 'Spiral Arrow' like channeling mana.
"The Spiral pattern that appeared on my arrow was a Magic Rune; think of it as code world to mana to perform some task. You will need to learn how to use various types of Magic Runes, Archers at higher levels are able to use different elements in their attack due to Magic Runes," she added.
"But let's not discuss about it today, I want you to fully concentrate on Mana channeling. It's the first step to being able to use the new skill; go to the side and practice, other students are about to come, Ask me if you have any doubts"
Rishi stood in the corner and started focusing on Mana channeling; He first channeled his mana into his right hand before trying to channel it to the arrow. At first, no matter how much he tried, the mana would not move toward the arrow, he tried as much as he could but failed every time.
He decided to simplify the process and started applying concepts, he then came to a solution that he needed to simply apply the law of condensation to transfer his energy(mana); at that time he realized that for the energy to transfer from one point to another there is a need of medium.
Professor watched Rishi scratching the back of his head before smiling and taking out a straw, string, and water bottle. He first closed the end part of the straw and tied it vertically on top of the arrow before filling it with water, The water he used was low-quality spirit water which he always kept with him.
Professor didn't disturb Rishi at all and let him do what he wanted; she believed that if someone could learn a concept by himself, then he comprehended it much easier, She instructed another student while also taking a glance at Rishi in between. Other students were laughing in between when they looked at Rishi, but the professor asked them to focus on their training.
Rishi succeeded at last in transferring his mana from one point to another by using Spirit Water as a medium; he smiled and continued practicing and was finally able to easily do it. Rishi then took out another arrow and dipped that arrow in spirit water before trying to transfer his mana through the water.
It was very hard to do it, but after some trial and error he was just about to succeed when he failed; he checked and saw that all water had evaporated. Rishi didn't give up and dipped the arrow again in water and finally succeeded, but there was little joy on his face, he knew that he had succeeded, but the time it took him to cover the whole arrow from his mana was one minute.
He repeated the process several times and was able to complete it in ten seconds after many attempts, but he was not satisfied because he still needed to use a wet arrow. His passive skill, 'Enhanced Focus' activated, and many ideas began to flood his mind. He started to consider every possibility.
To others, Rishi appeared to be a statue with closed eyes; the only thing that convinced them that it was Rishi himself and not any statue was the movement of his hair caused by the wind, He suddenly smiled and opened his eyes before attempting to channel mana into the arrow via air molecules.
He tried again and again, but each time he failed. Rishi was aware that something was missing, but he had no idea what it was.
He started thinking about the relationship between water and air, and his eyes lit up. "That's it," he said before trying again, this time he took a deep breath to calm his mind before concentrating on the air molecules in the surrounding area near the arrow's surface.
