Chapter 16 - How Challengers fight

Hearing what Hanek said, Lucian went to her and spoke with his melancholy voice, " OUR... Hanek, our Story.. "

Then smile found it's on Hanek's face, " Heh, okay then. first let's train, right now we were too weak. "

Suddenly hearing what Hanek said, Lucian's body shivered.

Noticing it Hanek chuckled, " Relax... I won't do that again, first what were gonna do is educate you on how challengers fight. "

Lucian slanted his head and asked, " Challenger's fight? "

" Yeah, challengers like you have a different ways of figthing. "

After that Hanek sat and signaled Lucian to do the same. Sitting now Hanek took a deep breathe while closing her eye's and exhaled hard, " Challengers fight uniquely because of the system... "

Before she could continue though Lucian raised his hand interrupting her, " Is it related on our increadibly simple power system? Earlier someone named Scribe said that our [ Cronicle ] will become clattered later. "

Hanek's eyes widen hearing what Lucian just said, " Yeah... That's pretty much it... you guys are lucky huh. "

Lucian slanted his head again, this time it to the left opposite what he did earlier where it was to the right. " Lucky on what? "

" On the overseer, i mean. I heard it was pretty rare for an Overseer to give advice, Because they are so ruined for watching too many deaths that thay all become numb to it. So getting an advice that can help you survive from an overseer alone is like winning a lottery. "

Lucian frowned, " you know what is an lottery? "

Then Hanek slanted her head, " Lottery? What is that? "

Lucian were going to explain it, but deemed it not necessary so he just shrugged it. " Nothing. "

Hanek paused for a second to study Lucian expression, HIs expression were bewildered and determined while looking at the ground.

After a while it went back to Hanek prompting her to continue, " Ahem. Anyways now that y'know that it will get clustered, I'll tell you the reason why it become's like that. First is beacuse of [ Scenarios ] each [ Scenario ] will give you a different power depending on what [ Scenario ] you are in. For example, The [ Scenario ] you are in right now were called Mythos Scenario. In here your mission are to build your primary power... Or I guess your primary weapon, Then after that you will be given a bunch of [ Scenarios ] that will give variuos power as a reward. "

Lucian them raised his hand again prompting Hanek to paused, " The system didn't tell us about [ Scenarios ] though... "

Then Hanek smirked, " of course it won't, it just a name that many challengers calls it. Besides the system won't tell you anything it want you to achieve y'know... That's why figuring out without the systems help, is pretty common in challengers advice forum. DON'T TRUST THE SYSTEM, is the most common sentence you will hear from challengers. "

She paused for a second and continued,

" Anyways and this various rewards is the real figthing style of challengers, with each new powers come's with new rules and flexibility challengers fight by switching they're powers to different types. For example you already know what is Natural Authority right? "

Lucian nodded prompting her to continue,

" Great! then for example you have a [ Natural Authority] of Fire and you fought someone that is figthing with they're [ Mythology ] which is fire, You can switch the ability you will use to your [ Natural Authority ]. And since [ Natural Authority ] acts as dominion over it's concepts you will be able to control the flames of the one your fighting. That's how challengers fight, flexible and using everything at their disposal to end battles quickly. "

After that Hanek went quiet letting what she said linger and letting lucian's brain to accept it.

Then silence permeated in the air, Lucian was holding his chin. Still absorbing the information he got from Hanek, Meanwhile Hanek where now looking at the sky counting the clouds that passed by.

.....

It's approcimately fifty-seven clouds passed when Lucian decided to speak. " So... Hanek when you said by training here and creating our story, I assumed It's not actually about the power system I have right now didn't I? "

Hanek smiled and stood up, " that's right, Remember what I'm trying to make you do on your first day here? That's what im gonna teach you a [ Battle Art ] specifically our [ Battle Art ] just...Without the beatdown... "

Lucian smiled and then stood up too, " Then I guess that makes my power system four. "

hearing it Hanek immediately looked at Lucian with a confused facce, " four? "

Lucian then replied nonchalantly, " Yeah, my [ Story ], Then the natural order [ Order ], [ Achivements ] Although i have none right now, Then lastly [ Battle Art ] "

Hanek frowned then her expression changed to confused to shocked and lastly in dismay, " How!!!"

Lucian was shocked by the sudden scream of Hanek causing him to actually jump from confusedment, " How, What?! "

Hanek replied with a surprised face and a bewildered voice, " HOW The hell did you gain a tier?! That's something not anyone can get!! you have to do something impressive to gain a tier!!

And also... What's your tier? "

Lucian looked at Hanek while shrugging his shoulders and pouting friendly, " it says here that it's Fourth tier, it seems our escape on the Bahask got me here... "

Hanek frowned upon the realiazation of they're achievement, it is indeed impressive considering the harsh rule of the Natural Order [ Order ].

Finally accepting it, Hanek shrugged the topic and procceded on what she was about to do, ' well it was surprising, but it shouldn't be bad. '

after that Hanek walked a little bit further from Lucian and faced him, " Okay! Let's set aside some of the matters for now! And let's get into training!! "

Lucian then followed her and went beside her, the fleeting wind was cold.

As it's chilling wind travelled through their body, as the grass dances.

Clouds seems to be more fluffy and the sky became more blue, it was a good day.

Lucian then set into a form, his feet were a little further apart from each other lining up to his shoulders, then Lucian placed his hand near his waist.

Breathing slowly, but steadily.

Lucian assumed the Horse stance, it seems like in this training horse stance is a must.

The purpose of it is the same, to assume and learn how to balance oneself.

So Lucian did just that, not even moving an inch...

Thirty minutes has now past, if earlier Hanek was standing now she was sitting.

At some point she got tired of standing and just sat, Lucian however were still on horse stance.

It is impressive just how long Lucian is holding, Hanek believe that they should take things slowly, but what Lucian is achieving were outstanding.

His focus is unrivaled, seemingly nothing can break it. He was looking at nothing, but at the same time he was looking at everything in front of him.

His body seemingly froze in time, not even flinching as the wind caress his body.

Sweats came out from his body, but he pays it no mind. Just carrying out his duty, and that is to focus on being used and finding balance on your body.
