Chapter 1478: Training? This Is Just Torture!
Aquarina could still recall Svana's insane ramblings which made little sense to her, she always thought this woman had several screws loose.
Unlike Sylphy though, who kept her thoughts to herself, she wouldn't miss the opportunity to just tell her she was insane.
"Gravity is one of the greatest forces of nature and the world, it keeps everything down and together," Svana once told her. "You must master gravity by not letting it affect you! The heavier the object and the farther it falls from above, the more damage it takes, is it not? You must become like a diamond, even when that's the case, it will not break or chip away."
"You're insane! I won't do that! Do you want me to break my legs every time?! How is this training!"
"Hahaha! You're just like your mother!" Svana laughed. "Dear Aquarina, you simply have to imbue Mana into your entire body at the same time as you fall and reinforce it to your limits, create layers within layers! Like this, look."
Svana encompassed her entire body with a golden aura of Mana, which then created a hundred, thin layers.
Then she jumped off into the canyon, which was probably like five to six hundred meters deep. ВАААМ!
And she landed into the ground with her legs, her entire body unfazed.
"Like this! See?!"
She screamed incredibly loudly, her voice reaching all the way up somehow!
"S-She's fine?! I thought we had flying spells for this! Why do I have to train in case I fall?!" "Sometimes falling is the best weapon, use gravity for your own advantage, Aquarina! Don't you remember all the times I've crushed my foes by jumping really high and crushing them? No bones were broken ever... Once this training is done, your bones, especially your legs, will become as tough as the hardest of metals."
"Y-You're crazy mom... Everyone is crazy!"
Eventually, even though she complained a lot for several days, ultimately...
We went through it, all for Sylphy.
"Sylphy please pray for me..."
Aquarina closed her eyes as she gathered her Mana and then jumped.
The result, as stated earlier, was atrocious, her legs broke...
However, it wasn't half bad, the rest of her body was fine, which gave Svana the insight that she had a good control of her balance.
Then, over and over and over and over again...
For several days, weeks, months.
This was beyond barbaric, yet...
Ultimately, between pain, fear, and madness, Aquarina ultimately...
ВАААМ!
"Hahh... Ouch."
It still hurt. Her legs almost broke. But they didn't break anymore. She actually managed to do it like Svana and her mother.
And it only took her... three months.
"Another ridiculous training done, thankfully..."
She was very wrong, the next day she was told to jump off the canyon a hundred times per day. Per day!
She was going insane.
"You're all insane! You're all crazy! Aaahh!"
Yet she still did it.
And repeatedly did it.
Over and over again!
It was madness, utter madness.
"You can do it Aquarina..."
She could even hear Sylphy's voice.
"I'm with you..."
She felt as if Sylphy was hugging her from behind.
"I know you can do it..."
Eventually...
After a month and a half...
Crack, crack...!
CRASH!
She came through the other half of the mountain.
The darkness of the caves was finally illuminated.
As Aquarina's face was bathed by the soothing sunlight of the morning, and the cold winds of
the mountains.
"Hahh... Hahh... I did... it?!"
She fell to her knees, as she started to cry.
"I did it..."
She continued crying as she hit the mountain with her fists.
"Uuuaaaaahhhh!"
And then she screamed loudly, so loudly her voice reverberated and echoed through the many
mountains.
The people down below the summit could hear her scream.
"I DID IT!!! FUCK YOU! YOU STUPID FUCKING MOUNTAIN!"
Unfortunately, she wasn't well mannered...
"Hahaha... well, that's her." Her mother laughed.
"Well done, Aquarina," nodded Svana. "Now, to the next trial!"
The fourth trial, and the harshest so far, pushed Aquarina to her limits and even beyond that.
After having survived falling for hundreds of times from a canyon, carrying four monoliths with her entire body while running around the village three hundred times.
And then having to carve through a mountain with her bare hands and get to the other way...
what could be even worse than that?
The last trial that took her the last two months to do...
"You will be buried under ten kilometers of rubble. And you will carve your way out with your
bare hands. This will put everything you've learned and combine it..."
"EH?!"
Back then, Aquarina felt like hitting Svana in the head with a rock.
This was just burying her alive!
