A year later,
Lydia sat by her lonesome atop a boulder, she breathed rhythmically and closed her eyes, and felt the world around her. The chirping of the birds and the howling of the wind were just some of the various sounds that intermingled among themselves and formed the tune of nature itself.
Lydia slowly tuned out all the noise around her, right now she was the only being to exist, there was nothing else that mattered.
Small sparks of lightning slowly spread across her body, she opened her eyes that glowed in a deep shade of blue, and she slowly got up and jumped down from the boulder.
‘Crack’
A small crater formed below her, she took hold of the spear that floated around her, and upon touching the spear, the lightning streaks that danced around her body spread over to the spear like an infection.
She stretched the spear backward and aimed at the cloud-filled sky.
‘Swish’
Without hesitating, she threw the spear with all her strength, a cloak of lightning coated the spear as it blew past the sky knocking off all the clouds in a rather impressive manner.
A smile slowly spread across Lydia’s face as she observed the result of her hard work,
“ Good work.”, Luna commended her daughter from the side.
A year had passed since the training had begun and Lydia had surpassed Luna’s expectations by a very large margin. The training had also given them a chance to bond, but as always Luna always kept her at arm's length.
“ Thank you.”, Lydia said, wiping away the sweat that had formed on her face.
“ You can take a break for a few minutes now, you must never overexert yourself.”, Luna advised, already moving on to check on her other student.
“ Yeah….”, Lydia said, staring at Luna’s back that seemed a little too wide.

Adam was currently training….as he always did.
During the past year, he literally almost trained to his death.
If not for Luna, he really would have died.
Luna wanted to tell him to stop, but she couldn’t….because if he did stop, he was fucked.
A year ago, when Luna had begun teaching Adam, she hadn’t realized that he was unable to use mana. Using mana was a necessity when it came to properly implement a technique that was as complex as [The Spear Of Desecration].
Adam had undergone surgery before entering this dungeon, to calm the energies swirling within his body, Georna had warned him that his body would be unstable for a while, but she didn’t specify how long it would take…
Adam was able to use mana but the pain that came along with it was unbearable for him. Initially, they had decided to wait until his body stabilized….but even after a year….his body never did stabilize.
Luna had thought that Adam would give up and fall into despair….but it was strange, he didn’t seem that bothered. As Adam couldn’t utilize mana, he couldn’t bring out the power of the technique but Luna had taught him the ten parts.
Now all he had to do was master those ten parts, which was even harder without the help of mana. So, for the past year, he’s been trying to do just that.
It was a slow process, but Luna was slowly starting to see some results.
As Luna walked into his training area, she saw him training, as usual, his hair had grown out considerably….that was all that had really changed as his skill [Weak Body] was a passive one and seemed to still work.
‘Hup’
Adam's movements were rough and imprecise as he danced around with the spear, but Luna could see that his form was improving. But still, there was only so much a person could do without mana.
Luna silently wondered just what was going through his head as he kept on training and training not even noticing her presence. She wondered how much longer he could push himself….-
‘Hup’
‘Hup’
‘Hup’
As everyone breaks sooner or later.
