Moonlight brought us back to Catmod"s lair and stood beside Catmod while I am standing in front of them. Catmod adjusted his monocle before he started speaking."I have spotted lots of things after you cast out magic earlier and there are lots of flaws I can point out to you. If you want to get better in casting magic, might as well follow a few of my tricks I usually teach young magicians like you in the past. Are you willing to do so? Moonlight will also help with the training too," Catmod said to me.
"Well, I need to get stronger so I guess I will accept it. Besides, I agreed already on Moonlight"s proposition. If this training of yours will allow me to improve, then I won"t have any problem with it."
Catmod smirked before he tossed a necklace to me in which I catch via telekinesis.
"Wear that then," Catmod stood still without any emotion on his face.
A necklace huh? The pendant has the shape of a cat which is not questionable since Catmod is a cat. It"s very normal for him to give merchandise that has a cat engraved on it. I put on the necklace and as soon as I wear the necklace, I never expected it to turn heavy all of a sudden.
BAM!
I immediately fell into the ground and despite trying to move my body, the heaviness makes it impossible to do so. I tried using my hands to push on forward and make a bit of force to fight the heaviness I am feeling but it"s like I am pinned on the floor. I tried pulling it off but Catmod once again speak.
"You can"t remove the necklace until the very end of the training and you must wear that everywhere you go. Aside from that, you can"t take it off even if you are sleeping, eating, taking a bath or anything you are doing in your life. You can"t remove it unless you give up on my training. And oh, if you tried removing it while I am not watching, a severe punishment will be waiting for you," Catmod smirked.
I gritted my teeth hard. This thing is pinning me down and I can"t even pull it off on my neck. How the heck can I even move and train in magic then?!
Catmod approached and circled around my body that is still pinned down by the invisible force.
"Hmmm, you seemed to be doing fine on the force, it"s just that you can"t properly make the necklace lighter though, "Catmod said as he stood in my back.
I look at Moonlight but she did not do anything except to observe me and Catmod in this manner.
"Let me tell you how to do it then, Kazuma. Regulate your breathing on your lungs so that the air you inhaled will spread out to your whole body without the lungs doing so. With that, you will get the strength to stand up on this pressure. Do it properly and you will never feel the pressure again, you get it?" Catmod asked.
"Nngh... Y-Yeah... I will...try..."
After Catmod said that, I quickly tried doing the instructions. However, unlike mana manipulation, this one is harder than it sounds. The way to spread the air around your body is not something I can do in one go. But I don"t plan to keep myself pinned on the floor. I used every ounce of power in my body to spread out the air in my body. I can feel the pressure getting lighter but I can"t raise my body still yet.
"Not enough, Kazuma. Keep on doing it, again," Catmod tap my back using his paws.
"Kazuma, if you are thirsty or tired, don"t hesitate to rest. It"s not something you can easily do in one go. Don"t hesitate to ask for food or water alright?" Moonlight said to me as she sat back to the couch and opened her phone.
I am on the verge of crying due to the heaviness. This is something I never dreamed of. Do I have to keep my body pinned in this place forever?! No way! I will do my best and keep the pressure out and move properly!
"GRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
...
The sunlight in the window already turned dark red since its already dusk, however, I am still stuck on the floor. Catmod is no longer in my back and is currently playing a game on his television with Moonlight. Although I am envious of them as they play games freely, I keep practicing the method that Catmod told me. However, reality seems to be very cruel to me. As time pa.s.s by, the more tired I am in the process. The heaviness of the pressure also gets heavier as the time pa.s.s by which is making me fear that the longer I laze around, the sooner I will get squashed to death.
"What is the purpose of this method anyway? To increase my vitality and durability in battle? Or just simply making me feel the pain and torture? Or just simply for toying purposes? Whatever it is, I am not willing to get pinned on the floor forever!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
I relaxed a bit and breathed in a mouthful of air. If the normal process of breathing won"t work, how about the relaxed one? Although doing the relaxed one in this matter is not that easy, I just have to concentrate. Not only that. To regulate the air properly in my body, I decided to use the mana in my body to aid with the distribution of air filled with oxygen to every nooks and corners of my body.
At first, it"s not working but I did not hastily give up but continue the breathing process. Soon enough, the pressure that seems to outweigh my whole body at first lightened little by little which is a pretty nice feeling. I did not hastily stood up and decided to continue the regulation of the air in my body. Stopping the regulation of air in my body will just allow me to get pinned on the floor again.
I saw Catmod and Yaya already stopped playing and is currently observing me. I continue the regulation of air and it didn"t take me too long before the pressure is no longer weighing my body. It was like I was refreshed by a clean stream of water.
"Hmmm, that was unexpected Kazuma. You have managed to slowly master the technique easily huh?" Catmod approached me.
Although Catmod is still interacting with me, I did not stop my breathing and continue to breathe in air. Catmod smiled and nodded at me before he snaps his paws.
"Well, well Kazuma, it looks like that challenge is a piece of easy thing for you. Then lets properly start the training then. First is to do 10000 push-ups while doing Air Regulation."
