Chapter 5: Combine and Release
"Alright Grey Jean!" My mom calling my name by this world, It was weird but I've got to admit it is pretty good. "Focus yourself on releasing your fire mana in one hand." My mom said instructing me to basically remember what I did before I got myself knocked out.
I spread my hand, Focus and Breathe Properly. Akin to Meditating I feel all the mana Particles in my Body and the surrounding. I imagine myself taking all thos particles gathering it to my palm, Then release it with me thinking of An Open flame.
PWOOSH!
A Fireball is created in my palm. "Like this mom?" I said with an Intrigued face, it's as if that It was perfectly shaped. perfectly round and ready to throw. "I heard from your dad, That you use your fists now. Well that would make things easier."
Mom is limbering up and stretching, and as that ends she Takes off her dress revealing a leather armor. a sheen of Fire Protection on it. she then covers her fists in fire as well as her Leg. "You know son before I became a pure on mage of this kingdom." Mom said taking up a Stance reminiscent of Muay Thai.
Using her lead leg she hops to me at breakneck speeds Creating a shockwave at where she took off making a small crater in the yard. And she uses the momentum and the turn of her hip to go for a massive Body shot with a leg mid air.
I weave under the kick just barely. I look at my mom's eyes and movement, it's as if she's a different person. A kick like that will send anyone to the hospital worse maybe killed.
As she landed her feet she takes up stance. "I was called the Queen of the Ring, Knockout Empress, Rib Cracker Mina." She drops her stance, and wears her dress again. "Now son you saw how I Infused my fists and legs right? Added damage via the burning. Now let's teach you how to do the same thing."
"The secret to doing it is to not think about it's shape first. it's where you make it." Mom said while make covering her fists in fire. As I observe where it comes from. It starts at the back of her hand and from there it spreads to the palm.
"Did you see where it came from?" Mom said as she was spreading it on her fists. "I think I get the gist of it." I said while thinking of how to do it. then it came to me, I should make a fireball first. Then I think of it slowly dissolving into my hand.
Before I could realize it My fist was Engulfed in flames. "Good Now throw a Punch." Mom said encouraging me. I took stance again, The Peekaboo stance. I generated power using my rear leg, Transfering to my hips Continuing it by rotating my hip, My fist loaded with power was thrown out it made a shockwave as it reached the end of my reach.
PWOOOSH!
I fired off a Projectile with my fists subconsciously almost like a fire ball,But In the shape of a fist. And as It fired off, Almost to my mom's position. She controls the projectile and stops it, And Snapping it out of existence.
"Interesting... I don't think I need to teach you Air Mana." Mom said with a smirk on her face. "What do you mean I don't need to learn it mom?" I said with a look confusion dropping my stance.
"Well first off, you were already using it. to Add power to your punches." Mom said as she walks back to the house before she closes the door. "I'll Introduce you to our blacksmith friend at the town. We'll fashion you a new weapon."
She closes the door on me leaving me with my thoughts and contemplate how I used air Mana subconsciously. Maybe it was me subconsciously thinking 'I need more power and speed' in my punches. Maybe... Just maybe.
"I'm liking this new world."
