Chapter 111 Thank You, Kye
"Then if you don't mind, could you help me with something?"
In normal circumstances, Ven wouldn't have asked Kye to help him. But after almost two months had passed since he came back to 'life', and all the efforts he poured into befriending him again, he felt that it would be him in the wrong if he were to continue acting cold.
Sure Kye's holy energy wasn't the best thing from his point of view, but now that he didn't use it unconsciously anymore, it just showed how real his feelings were.
So he decided to take a gamble.
As for Kye, when he heard that, he answered with so much excitement that it felt as if he was waiting for something like this to happen. "Yes. I'll do whatever you want!" Ven could even see stars in Kye's eyes.
"Whatever?" Ven asked just to be sure with a sly smile but quickly brushed his thought away.
"Hmhm." Kye nodded. "As long as it's in my capacity, I'll do whatever I can to help you."
"You don't have to be so excited, really, I just need some ideas regarding my ability, that's all."
"Still, even if it's a small thing, I'm still happy that you ask for help from me. I heard you asked the other for help, and even though I know why you didn't ask for mine, I was still sad."
Kye looked down, and Ven didn't say anything. He just scratched the back of his head awkwardly. But thankfully for him, Kye quickly changed the topic.
"But anyway, it's all old stories now. You just asked for my help, so I'm more than happy."
Ven nodded with his lips curling up a little and continued. "So you must have seen when I was fighting, but my use of gravity is too linear. Actually, I never trained my ability before. When I was home, I was only training in close quarters with a katana, and never thought of using my gravity. And I can't help but curse my old self for not learning it because it seems that I can't improve without it."
Ven's childhood had passed with training. But he didn't train his ability even once. He only trained with his sword, and that's one of the reasons he got a title when he was still only a child. Though, as he grew up, he fall behind the others because he didn't control his ability well enough. It was just average. But compared to those of the same status as him, he was far behind. Though, as a battle genius, Ven still won almost every single of his spar.
However, now that he saw how weak he was without a great understanding of his ability, he felt like he needed to change that. And that's why he asked for help. Though, it has proven useless until now.
They all had their own problem regarding their abilities, so they weren't of much help nor could they since every ability worked differently.
So Kye was his last resort. But he didn't expect much either from him since he didn't have an ability until a few months ago. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
"So what do you search exactly?"
Kye asked and Ven started thinking for a few minutes.
"If possible, something that doesn't have anything with increasing my speed or whatsoever. I already know how to do all of that, so I don't really need things like that. So if possible, something like a spell that could be used at long range."
Kye nodded and started thinking for a few minutes as well. There weren't many things he could think of currently, but he still tried his best. "Do you have enough energy to do big things?"
"I have a lot of energy, so don't worry about that. But what do you mean by big things? Like big moves that could clutch a fight?"
"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I have two ideas in mind at the moment."
Ven's eyes sparkled when he heard that. His hope reached high and he expected Kye's answer eagerly.
The latter smiled seeing him and continued. "My first guess would be something where you could either pull someone toward you with gravity or pull this person off you so that you can breathe. Like this, the person would be caught off guard and you would be able to either do a big strike, or breath so that you can think of a plan. Of course, you can also throw someone in the air and make them spin, but you'll have to manage your energy well since I guess it will be pretty consuming."
Ven's face was filled with excitement and wanted to hug Kye for giving him such ideas, but he restrained himself since he didn't finish speaking yet.
"As for my second idea, I guess it's a little more harder to do. Basically, you create a gravitational orb and place it behind someone. This orb will attract your opponent in his center of gravity and crush its bones the stronger the orb is. I don't really know how it can work, but I leave this part to you."
Ven did well to not bother Kye when he was talking because the second idea was even greater than the first one. It could be so useful that he was sure to make up for his non-experience very fast.
"Kye...." Ven looked down, making Kye worry. Though, he worried for nothing. "Thank you so much, you don't know how much I needed help." He even hugged him, startling Kye a little. Though, he was used to it, so he hugged him back gently.
"I can't breath, Ven..." free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎
"Oh my bad, I'm sorry. I was just so excited that I didn't control my strength."
He scratched the back of his head and smile brightly. He was so happy now that it was even hard to stay put without doing anything.
"Well, I'm glad to be of help." Kye smiled back. "Now I guess I'll leave you alone so that you can train."
