Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 375 Late Night Training



After getting used to the speed, Lisandra stopped screaming as she clung onto Shiro as hard as she could.

"Why didn't you warn me it was going to go THIS FAST!?" She complained while trying not to fall off.

"I did, didn't I?" Shiro grinned.

"Yeah, by saying and I quote, 'Quite fast'. This isn't quite fast!" Lisandra retorted.

"Ai, small details. Anyways, now that you got used to it, I'll increase the speed some more."

"Wait, it can go faster?" Lisandra widened her eyes.

"Yup."

Activating the camouflage option, she hid their presence and narrowed her eyes.

*BOOM!

Accelerating once more, Shiro leaned forward so that she won't be hit in the face by all that wind pressure. Naturally, there was something else she had to worry about but her passive healing was doing a good job at stopping Lisandra from breaking her back.

###

Setting up camp for the night, Shiro looked over at Lisandra who seemed worn out from the trip.

"Mum… can we not just walk?" She asked tiredly.

"Nope. That would take too much time after all.  That being said, we should be able to reach Mount Fuji tomorrow morning once we wake up." Shiro chuckled.

"Urg…"

"Anyways, enough about that. Since it's night, what better time to get you some training ay?" Shiro grinned.

With Lisandra's current state, the training will be much much harder.

Flinching slightly at the mention of training, Lisandra forced her body up and took a deep breath.

"Ok so what do I do?" Lisandra asked.

"First, take this blindfold. I made it in a way so that it should stop any light from reaching your eyes. Removing your sight temporarily." Shiro replied while handing her a pitch black blindfold.

"I would give you something to remove your hearing but this will do for now. We'll get you up to par without your sight first." Shiro smiled.

Guiding her to the nearby forest, she had Lisandra stand in the middle.

"For the first training, I'll be attacking you from different locations rapidly with blunted ice weapons. Your job is to either deflect or dodge them. Got it?"

"Understood." Lisandra nodded. This was just the same as the test so it wasn't an unfamiliar concept to her.

What she didn't know was that having a person conduct this test was much harder than a robot. One reason would be the fact that Shiro would control and release her killing intent at will. With her intent distracting Lisandra, she could set up several feints as well as 'traps' for her in order to throw her off her rhythm.

Grinning slightly, she held blunted ice daggers between her fingers and jumped from the branch.

Flipping her body in the air, she threw the daggers quickly before jumping into the rift.

Exiting behind Lisandra, Shiro made more daggers and threw them towards her back.

Suddenly feeling danger from two sides, Lisandra knew that Shiro wasn't going to take it easy on her.

Getting into a stance, she pivoted on her foot and roundhouse kicked all the daggers that were attacking her from above while punching the daggers behind her.

'Seems like this level is quite simple for her. I'll make things a bit harder then.' Shiro mused to herself.

Flexing her fingers, hundreds of nanotech wires spread out through the area, making it seem like a spider's nest.

Layering the wires with ice, she made it so that she could attack Lisandra from every direction all at once.

Flicking the wire, hundreds of ice daggers were created and fired simultaneously.

"Oh crap." Lisandra muttered since she felt danger surround her in an instant.

###

After a few rounds of this difficulty, Lisandra had quite a few wounds on her body despite the weapons being blunted.

'Hmm… this isn't very good now is it…' Shiro furrowed her brows.

Just as she thought of this, a great idea popped into her mind.

'If I layered the daggers with life fire, it would heal her up. Her stamina will also be restored a little so this is perfect!'

Hearing this idea, Nimue widened her eyes and instantly felt pity for Lisandra and whoever Shiro will train in the future.

Snapping her fingers, her daggers lit up with a green flame and shot towards Lisandra.

As her training continued, all of Lisandra's wounds were being healed so that she could continue at peak form.

Seeing that Lisandra was doing pretty well at this stage, despite a few blunders here and there, Shiro decided to let her get used to this before progressing.

Setting aside a portion of her attention to help Lisandra train, Shiro pulled out the Mystic Sensory Arts so that she could do some training herself.

The core aspect of this manual was to have her manipulate her mana in a certain way constantly until it becomes second nature for her. That was just stage 1. As she continues to control her mana this way, her senses will continue to get better and become permanent. At this point, everything will be pushed past the limit.

Of course, she could just stop it at stage 1 and make it so that she could turn it off at will but the enhancement to her senses were negligible so it wasn't worth it.

Following the instructions on the manual, she furrowed her brows since she felt a little uncomfortable with manipulating her mana through her body like this. Not only that, since around 60% of her links were still damaged, trying to change the mana path like this was going to be much harder than normal.

Shaking her head, she decided to just train it to stage 1 for now. On the other hand, the Takemikazuchi Sword Technique should be achievable for her right now.

'Hmm… another mana path changer. Why do so many techniques that I found require me to change the path of my mana. Can't I just change the spell composition or something.' Shiro thought with a frown.

{Perhaps it's because all the techniques you choose are physical based. Think of it this way, you're a vampire but you're trying to learn how to change into a werewolf. But before you can think about fully becoming a werewolf, you then think about changing into a demon. Each martial art is supposed to either be trained on its own or synergise with a similar art. With so many conflicting ones in your arsenal, it's no wonder you'll have to change your pathways.} Nimue shrugged.

'If that's the case, I'll probably have to try to merge a few of these together if I can then. I wonder if I can make the Takemikazuchi Sword Technique into a path? That way, it gains some passive bonuses from my titles.' Shiro mused to herself.

So far, she had four paths. Phantom Path, Asura Sword Path, Celestial Path and Berserker Path.

With her title's effect, every time she used one of the paths, she gained a 10% increase to her stats temporarily. With more paths, the bigger this increase will be.

However, thinking up of this point, she couldn't help but glance at her Berserker Path once more.

'Hmm… you know? At first I thought I was a berserker but it seems like I'm wrong. Berserkers are mindless killing machines that don't think at all. I'm not a brainless muscle head… mostly anyway. It seems like I'll need to re-evaluate myself to see what kind of person I am. Berserker just doesn't feel right. What do you think Nimue? What kind of person do you think I am?' Shiro asked curiously.

{What I think? Hmm… I want to say conqueror but that's not right either. You don't conquer places and take over the land. Tyrant's not correct either… I would probably call you a dominator then.}

'Dominator? Perhaps. Though it still feels off hmm… So many things to do. Mount Fuji, two martial art manuals, refinement of old ones and training Lisa.' Shiro shrugged her shoulders.

{True. Though I suppose you do have two months to burn. Speaking of burning, you should probably increase Lisandra's training intensity since it looks like she's gotten used to it again.}

'Good point.' Shiro nodded after looking back at Lisandra.

With her fire constantly healing her, she was able to concentrate past her limits for an extended period of time. This allowed her to improve rapidly as she was able to deflect most of the daggers.

Tapping her chin, Shiro smiled when she thought up of a way to make things harder for Lisandra.

Snapping her fingers, ice daggers started to be fired at a faster pace while her killing intent assaulted Lisandra's senses.

Being caught off guard by all of this, Lisandra was bombarded for a good while as she suppressed her shouts and tried to look for a better way out of this.

"Don't just think about using your body. You must use your mana as well to enhance your attack speed. Create a burst behind your elbow to accelerate your arm and a second burst point at your fist after punching out. That way, you can attack and retract in an instant.

"If you don't do this quick enough, I'll increase the difficulty for a short while." Shiro called out with a smile.

Nodding her head, Lisandra tried her best. But reality wasn't so kind as she was reduced into a sandbag throughout the night.
