Chapter 92: A Triangle or a Star?
The training place was not a very special space, since he needed a lot of positive energy, Klaus had chosen to train in an open place, such as the balcony. It's just that the balcony of this apartment was really big and sturdy, so it didn't affect his training at all.
In this place, he had several things needed for training that he had bought earlier. Although they were not of much use, they did increase the mass of his attack a bit, and the more mass, the more gravity, so it affected the energy coming towards him a bit more.
They were heavy things like wristbands or weights with extremely compressed mass to increase the weight of his blows.
It didn't affect much, but since he came from a world where the only way to increase strength was that way, he used them occasionally to feel progress differently.
Jasmine monitored the entire training site and nodded.
"Don't you have medicine to restore faster? I can see you get injured quite a bit in this place, but there's no sign of medicine being used."
Klaus then pulled something from his ring and showed it to her. "I tend to take this stuff to recover faster or let my body do it on its own without worrying about the pain."
Jasmine grabbed the vial he was showing her and nodded softly. "You're tough, Klaus. This doesn't do much good; it's very low-level and makes the training less intense. You'll use this for now; it's high-level medicine, " She said as she took out another vial.
This vial had two parts, which was a bit strange. One part was syrup, which was contained up to the middle of the bottle, where the bottle was divided, and on the other side were pills.
Such double bottles are common here, but it was a medicine he didn't recognize.
"Should I take a pill with that syrup as water?" he asked to get out of doubt.
"That's right; you'll notice a big difference when you do; it's a medicine made with cursed energy, so it's incredibly effective, though, at the same time, you have to be careful; after all, it's a drug bordering on poisonous, in too many quantities it can be dangerous, but for now that one will do you."
Klaus grabbed the vial and stared at it, back and forth. He felt something strange about the contents. It wasn't anything bad; it wasn't poison or anything like that, but there was something strange. Maybe something that looked familiar, but he didn't think much of it.
He put the vial away and then looked at Jasmine.
"I didn't expect cursed energy to be so good and versatile, though if poison can be created, I should have assumed healing things are possible as well." He spoke.
"Well, remember that cursed energy was the first of the energies. It gave birth to the first sorcerers and the cursed beasts. That's because the strongest emotions or feelings of the human race have almost always been evil. But, thanks to it, there are cursed energy herbs capable of killing if you touch them, while there are others capable of healing you by touch."
"It's versatile, powerful, and mysterious, but the best thing about it is that it can make you stronger just by having it inside you."
Klaus looked at her in confusion. "Just by having it in your body, does it already strengthen you? I didn't know that."
"Haha, it's normal. It's not obvious in the early stages; it just becomes obvious when you reach the Strong Level. Once you reach this level, you can use the cursed energy to strengthen your body passively. Still, for that, you need to build the most powerful and perfect base you can create because the movement of the energy will strengthen you. Positive energy has a similar ability, which develops on the same Strong Level, only from a very low level."
"The base?" he asked, as he frowned. Suddenly, a figure came to his mind.
And just as Jasmine spoke, he did.
"It is the basis of energy movement in the body. At first, it's a circle that looks infinite, but eventually, you can shape it..." When they had spoken this far, they had not finished saying what they had planned, but Jasmine frowned, and Klaus smiled.
"It can be a Triangle, being a recommended shape..." Jasmine culminated.
"It must be a star because your body is like one of them..." Klaus culminated.
They both culminated at the same time, but the content of their words was not the same.
It didn't change drastically, but the slight change was enough to leave Jasmine and Klaus in shock.
Klaus quickly shook his head. "No, it can't be a triangle; that's not essentially symmetrical inside your body." He quickly replied.
Jasmine didn't refute him. She, too, had thought that a triangle made no sense, but it was what she had been taught and what she understood after research.
"It's because a triangle fits perfectly in the Cursed Core." She replied, but she wanted to know why Klaus said a star, so immediately afterward, she asked.
Klaus frowned at her answer. 'It makes sense, but...'
"Look at your body in a mirror, and you'll see that you have the five ends of a star. Although a triangle fits perfectly at the core, moving the cursed energy like a star will cover every part of your body, including your head, which is the most vulnerable organ for a sorcerer. If what you say about the cursed energy is real, then it is convenient that it is a star because if it strengthens the head passively, then that, in a moment, will cease to be such a weak organ and will equally strengthen all the ends of the body. Don't you think so?"
Jasmine thought about it carefully. Something about what he was telling her made a lot of sense in her head, and her understanding seemed to open up slightly. But there was a problem.
"In order for a cursed sorcerer to exert their abilities or energy, the energy travels at breakneck speeds to the Cursed Core before exiting. A triangle is made just right to prevent that speed from being reduced so as to maintain the effectiveness of the movement and attack; I think with a star, that couldn't be done." She replied but was still considering what Klaus had said.
At her response, Klaus frowned.
'Really?' He thought.
If he had thought about it carefully, he could only use his cursed energy during the night. Although he had understood quite a bit about cursed energy, when he moved it, it didn't seem to go through the cursed core.
But Jasmine wasn't telling lies. Her eyes were clear as she spoke, and she was still considering what he had said, so maybe...
'Am I wrong? Isn't a star better? Maybe I'm different?' As his mind considered it, he quickly understood what was going on.
'I'm not different; the issue is the error in my ability. When my body was forced with so much cursed energy in that place, the ability and my body started to malfunction. Perhaps that is the reason, and that being the case, I can now see a way forward to repair that error. I must return to the right path of moving the cursed energy.' Suddenly, his heart raced, feeling excited.
If he thought about it that way, it seemed he had been wrong all this time about the star, but before he spoke, a mental image came to him.
His eyes flashed, and he quickly pulled out a pencil and paper.
"I got it." He was so excited that he turned around and leaned on a table to draw the picture he wanted without telling Jasmine what he would be doing.
He couldn't help it; what he had just discovered was possibly what he needed to make his workouts perfect.
