Chapter 133- Miyu’s Mystery (Part 1)

“UGH!!” Eva felt the breath get knocked out of her lungs as the clone’s attack connected.

Jumping back, she held her stomach as she heaved up and down with difficulty. Her aura was rather perturbed as it was moving up and down, concentrating on her legs for a few seconds before shifting to her upper body.

She had been in this state for the past few hours, struggling to do what Kai had tasked her to do. Concentrating her aura into one single point turned out to be even harder than she anticipated. It was like a different level of learning.

Not only did it require her to individually control every inch of her body, but she also needed to be extremely focused to be able to keep that precise amount of Origin in that precise point for as long as she needed to. On top of that, she had to keep track of the clone that was attacking her non-stop like a machine.

The clone’s speed was monstrous and his attacks were precise and hard to deflect even if she used her hands. In a nutshell, this was a goddamn hell on earth!

On the other side, Kaya was also having the same problems. Albeit, she was able to at least keep her aura stable even though she was failing every time she tried to control it the way Kai wanted.

“Kai… Can you at least give me a hint on how to do it? I’m really lost here.” She asked as she jumped back, avoiding another attack from the clone.

“You need to change your whole idea of how Origin works. Don’t think of it as a reservoir that you pull from whenever you need to. Think of Origin as a part of every cell of your body. It’s running through your whole body like blood.”

The two girls heard his explanation and nodded their heads. Even with that small hint, it was still way easier said than done.

How the hell can they even change how they control Origin? This was something they learned with instinct. It was as if Kai asked them to start breathing in a different way. It was nearly impossible.

*BOOOM*

Another attack hit the two girls and sent them flying, stumbling on the ground.

That made Kai look at the time before he stood up. “That’s enough.”

*CLICK*

Snapping his fingers, the clones vanished as if they were never there. When Kaya and Eva saw that, they completely relaxed as they lay there, motionless. Calling these past few hours exhausting was an understatement. It was way harder than the first step of training.

“It’s almost night. Go wash up and rest. We will continue early at dawn.” Kai said as he walked away.

“Hah… Hah… I feel beat…”

*CRACK*

Moving her neck to the side, Kaya heard a loud cracking.

“This is way harder than I expected…”

“Don’t tell me. How are we supposed to even do that? One brain shouldn’t be able to handle information coming from every cell of the body. We weren’t meant to do such a thing.” Kaya said.

“…”

Looking at the sky from her position, Eva fell into deep thought. What Kaya said was also what she concluded after a few hours of training. The human brain, even with the assistance of Origin shouldn’t be able to handle this kind of work.

There is a limit to how much the brain can do even for an Origin user of their caliber. At their level, Eva and Kaya can easily calculate complicated equations faster than a calculator if they wanted to which speaks volumes to how astronomically harder this is.

‘We’re missing a key point… There is something Kai wants us to discover ourselves. But, what is it?’ She thought to herself. She knew that Kai intentionally didn’t reveal any more information for a purpose.

“What if, hypothetically speaking, we don’t need our brains to do this kind of task?” She said.

This question made Kaya rise up and look at Eva.

“What are you trying to say?”

***

Meanwhile, Kai, who heard what they were talking about, nodded his head. He was amazed that they were already starting to approach the key idea of this training without his help. The reason he wanted them to do it themselves is because each individual has their own way of controlling Origin.

It’s like the fingerprints on a person’s hand, there are no two identical Origin users. So, Kai needed Eva and Kaya to reach their own style. It’s hard, but seeing how they were on the right track, he wasn’t worried that they would eventually reach it.

A few minutes later, he reached the cabin. The inside was very quiet and serene. However, Kai noticed an odd difference. His pet cat was nowhere to be seen. Usually, she would come rushing toward him the moment he stepped foot into the house. However, today, she was nowhere to be seen.

“Miyu?” He called for her but got no answer.

‘Where did she go?’ He thought as he spread his senses to search for her.

A few seconds later, he found her, and his eyes turned cold immediately. His pet was running through the forest at top speed, heading somewhere.

‘What is that cat doing?’

Sighing, Kai opened the door again and vanished.

Crossing a few hundred meters quickly, he jumped from one tree to another, following after Miyu. Meanwhile, he kept his senses active to locate the nimble cat.

“Tsk… Is she going where I think she’s going?”

Noticing the direction they were going in, Kai clicked his tongue.

On the horizon, very far away, a mountain appeared in his vision. The mountain was imposing and gigantic, one of the biggest in the world, actually. This mountain was in fact a volcano.

However, this thing has been dormant for the past million years or so and it didn’t seem to be showing any suspicious activity. Kai had made sure to check it a few years ago.

Yet, for one reason or another, his cat was heading right toward this volcano.

‘I won’t be able to reach her in time.’ Kai mused as he increased his speed. He estimated that Miyu had been running there for a few hours or so Kai couldn’t really reach her in less than 3 minutes even if he was at top speed.

By the time he arrived at his destination, the cat was shockingly climbing the mountain.

“Miyu. What are you doing?” He called for her as he started climbing the mountain at top speed.

“Meow!” Miyu seemed shocked when she heard Kai but didn’t stop climbing. Her nimble legs jumped from one rock to another, reaching the summit.

Then, the cat approached the edge of the hole and looked down.

“Meow…”

“Miyu?” Kai reached the top a few seconds later. “What are you doing here?”

At first, Kai was simply confused. But, now, he was very curious as this odd behavior wasn’t just coincidental and he knew why.

This particular volcano was special in the sense that it had an unbelievably pure Origin within it. It was the same case with the frozen lake. 𝑜𝗏𝑳xt.𝚌𝑶𝐌

The only difference, however, is that this Volcano’s Origin wasn’t because of the nature of the atmosphere. It was because of something completely different.
