Volume 1 Chapter 5 Training II
The inside of the temple was empty.
"Hey, there's nothing here."
"Well, I just made it up. It's a building that looks like a goal, right?"
"Is that so...?"
First, Elk didn't really understand what a "goal-like building" meant.
He stepped outside the huge temple and walked a little.
He arrived at a forest. He could see the temple well.
Pipina picked up a small stone.
"Telekinesis training, part one. First, let's make this stone float."
"Float?"
"Yeah, float it. Like this."
When Pipina flicked the small stone, it floated gently.
This surprised Elk.
"W-What!? It's floating!? Isn't Telekinesis just a pulling ability!?"
"Not at all. Telekinesis is 'the power to control things.' You can make them float and stuff."
The small stone floated gently.
"You can wrap it in power."
The stone was wrapped in an invisible force.
"You can make it fly."
The stone shot off at an incredible speed and pierced a nearby rock.
"You can create a mental wall."
With mental energy... using the source of Telekinesis, a wall was made, and when the stone hit it, it bounced off with a thud.
Pipina showed her index finger to Elk.
There was a white mist-like substance swirling around it.
"Telekinesis is 'mental energy'... the power of thought. Can you see this? This is the power of thought. This power can do many things. Making things float is just the beginning. Everyone seems to think that's all it can do."
"That's amazing..."
"Elk, you have to do at least this much. In the end──just watch."
"Huh?"
Pipina pointed her hand toward the temple.
Then, an unbelievable sight appeared.
"───...No way."
The temple creaked and cracked... and floated up.
It was floating with telekinesis.
"Well, if you can do that while lying down, I don't think there's anyone in the human world who can match Elk. Not even the Sword Saint or the Magic Saint; you could just flick them away."
Imagining that was way too gruesome.
But Elk saw the potential of telekinesis.
"For now, a hundred years!! You'll train telekinesis here."
"One hundred years...?"
"After that, you'll run a marathon again."
"Huh?"
"Just go back the way you came. The goal is within 5 years!!"
"......"
Elk's real training had begun.
* * *
How many years had passed?
Running, climbing cliffs, going down cliffs, swimming, running... he lost all sense of time.
Pipina said happily.
"You've gotten under 2 years for the marathon!!"
"......Yeah."
"Hmm, are you feeling mentally tired? Then, let's give you a little reward!!"
"...Huh?"
"Here, chocolate."
"...Chocolate?"
"It's sweet~?"
"Nom... Huh!? Sweet, delicious, so sweet!!"
The sweet taste helped Elk regain his spirit!!
After the marathon, chocolate started to appear regularly.
He lost count of how many marathons he had done.
And finally, there were less than 2 hundred years left in training.
Pipina clapped her hands.
"Ta-da!! There are only 2 hundred years left in training!! The last 2 hundred years will be... a special menu!!"
"...Special menu?"
"Yes!! The last part will be... practical training."
"!!"
Pipina dropped the playful mood... and spread her wings wide.
"From now on, you will fight me in a real battle for 2 hundred years. I think 2 hundred years without a break will be really tough, but with Elk's Telekinesis now, maybe you can at least hurt me a little?"
"Pipina..."
"Come on, Elk!! Give it your all!!"
"Alright!!"
Elk's final training has begun.
