Her punch also created wind that kicked up a lot of dust. It was an impressive showing of strength. Just imagining what kind of damage her punch could do to a human made his eyes light up in awe.
Instructor Canes straightened herself and said, "Fire explodes. What you just heard is the explosion of the force within my body."
"I will teach you the first breathing technique, the fire breathing exercises, and the fire fighting technique. These three go hand in hand and form a foundation that fuels your transformation until you reach the sixth transformation."
Then she asked, "Any questions?"
He raised his hand to indicate that he had a question.
She nodded and said, "Go ahead."
He quickly got onto his feet and bowed to her and everyone else. Then he asked, "How long does it usually take to learn these techniques, and how long does it take to reach the sixth transformation?"
She asked someone else to stand and answer him.@@@@
The person said, "It takes from one year to two years of hard work to learn the mana breathing technique and break through to the fourth transformation."
"As for the fourth transformation to the sixth, it usually takes four years. So if you enter the training facility at 13 years old and are diligent with your training, you will reach the sixth transformation by 20, just in time for your graduation."
Instructor Canes was satisfied with the reply. She said, "Good answer."
Everyone clapped, including Arthur, as the boy took his seat.
The instructor turned to him and asked, "Any more questions?"
These muscles would be contracted and relaxed in synchronization in such a way that the lungs are turned into a bellow while the body is turned into a furnace.
The bellows's job is to provide air for the furnace to burn brighter. In this case, the lungs provide mana, which the body will burn to fuel its transformation.
He said to her, "To increase the ratio, the time spent for inhalation and exhalation will be reduced drastically."
She nodded. "That is true. But that is complicated work that requires the coordination of a lot of muscles. So it is for later when you have increased the time that air stays in your lung."
"For now, we will improve your lung capacity and how long you can hold your breath for. So take a breath and don't exhale for as long as you can."
He nodded and did as she told him to do. That's how his training began.
He trained for four hours. He spent half of that time holding his breath while the instructor tutored him. He spent the other half being submerged underwater with instructor Canes keeping him down there to force him to hold his breath for longer.
These were things that he should be doing in the second class. But he was too strong to be put together with kids that were around 14 years old. Instead, they made him train with kids that were at least 14 years old.
While he was being tortured underwater in a bucket, the other kids were fighting each other. It was more of a spar, but there were important things at stake.
The trainees were fighting for the opportunity to earn the rank-1 major blood pill. Only the best 20 fighters every day would get the pill.
As for Arthur, even though he didn't get the rank-1 major blood pill, he was given the rank-1 ox lung pill. It is the pill that the students in the second class labor for.
Only the top 15 in the second class who could stay underwater the longest were qualified to get the pill. But since he didn't have any competition, he was given one too.
When he was done, he dragged his weary body to the gate. His body was fine, but his mind was tired because of being starved for air for four hours.
