Training Method

A month has passed since Fern arrived at the Castle. Frieren became Fern's Magic Teacher. Frieren was somewhat reluctant to teach Fern magic, but seeing her senior brother constantly researching Life Magic, she couldn't help but nod and agree in order to lighten his burden.

"Little Fern, I'm going to give you a test. Use Normal Attack Magic to smash that giant rock in the distance, and I'll take you to the Amusement Park."

While gathering herbs in the forest outside the Royal Capital Li Yan gently stroked Fern's head and spoke softly. These days, he had been busy studying Life Magic, and recently, Heiter had also provided him with a lot of knowledge about the Goddess's Life Magic.

"Uh-huh!"

Fern nodded her little head vigorously. She would do her best to accomplish what Li Yan expected of her, not only because she wanted to go to the Amusement Park with Li Yan, but more so because she wanted to prove herself to be an excellent child that would make Li Yan proud.

"That's a boulder a full 500 meters away, don't push yourself too hard."

Frieren was clearly not optimistic about that distance. It's important to know that the attack range of Normal Attack Magic is related to the strength of the Mana. If the Mana power is insufficient or the control over the Mana is inadequate, this requirement cannot be met.

More importantly, if all the Mana is focused on accuracy and distance, the final power will be completely insufficient to destroy the boulder.

Fern gazed at the distant boulder, raising the staff tied with a pink bow in her hand. Even if she couldn't complete the task, she would train with all her might. One day, she would be able to shatter that boulder and have her Godfather accompany her to the Amusement Park.

She wanted to play with her Godfather at the Amusement Park, even if it meant constant training...

Frieren watched quietly. Each of Fern's Normal Attack Magic had a range of a little over a hundred meters, and it was clear that he was still quite far from five hundred meters away.

"Practicing like this won't work, little Fern. Get your feel for it! First, master the accuracy of your aiming magic, then hone your Mana, and finally, most importantly, unleash your full Mana for firing."

Frieren rested her chin on her hand and analyzed it this way. Based on her magical experience over the past thousand years, only in this way could she accurately kill the boulder five hundred meters away.

"But how do I find the feel for it, Lady Frieren?"

As Fern gazed at the still-standing boulder in the distance, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure.

Frieren scratched her head, then suddenly remembered the magical items and weapons she had seen before, and suddenly everything became clear.

"I know something good that can be used to train your magical accuracy."

Fern looked at Frieren with a puzzled expression. Frieren walked towards Li Yan, Frieren after explaining the situation, Li Yan handed Frieren what she wanted from his Storage Alternate Space.

It was a very thick Steel Tube, with a green head, Sights and Grip on it, and a Shoulder Rest at the back.

"What is this, Lady Frieren?"

Fern asked curiously, "This thing looks very heavy. I don't know how to use this bulky thing to train precision."

"The ProMAX7-22 rocket launcher magic weapon, Snapdragon version, boasts powerful penetration and range capabilities. Although it looks heavy, it is indeed quite heavy. Fern, your physique should be able to handle it, after all, the dragon blood supplements you've been taking these past few days have boosted your physical strength."

Frieren solemnly placed the rocket launcher on Fern's shoulder. Little Fern blushed as he carried it, finding the weight quite difficult to support.

"Fern, it does seem a bit strained, but it's alright, there's always a solution. I'll use Levitation Magic to lighten its weight later, so you can carry it more easily."

Frieren gripped her staff, her face solemn. She couldn't help but feel delighted with her brilliant idea. After all, this would not only train Fern's precision but also improve Fern physique—a win-win situation.

"How do you launch this, Lady Frieren?"

Fern gazed at the distant boulder and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Wait, don't aim the launch at the 500-meter boulder. Let's start training from 200 meters and 300 meters."

Frieren reminded Fern, then pointed to the Sights above the rocket launcher, "Look at this, this helps you aim, and then there's the trigger below. Just pull it and it'll fire."

Fern nodded thoughtfully. After aiming at the boulder two hundred meters away, she firmly pulled the trigger. As the rocket launcher fired, a dark green shell flew straight towards the boulder two hundred meters away. When the rocket hit the boulder, a deafening explosion rang out.

"Lady Frieren... this power..."

Fern looked at the rocket launcher in her hand with a hint of lingering fear. She had simply pulled the trigger, but unexpectedly, a missile powerful enough to destroy a boulder was launched, its destructive force astonishing.

"Hmm... it seems the effect is indeed quite good."

Frieren stroked her chin, feeling relieved that Fern's first shot had hit the target. Although the recoil almost sent Fern flying, thankfully her Levitation Magic kept Fern's body under control.

"Was it fun firing the cannon?"

A wicked smile appeared on Frieren's face. There was no way she could return this to her senior brother. She was going to keep it as a keepsake. From now on, it would be hers. As for if her senior brother asked for it back, she would explain that it was a tool used by Fern to train his accuracy.

"Uh-huh!"

Fern let out a deep breath, the pressure in her heart exploding out with the Rocket. She had gained some confidence; as long as she practiced her accuracy, breaking boulders would no longer be a difficult problem.

After two and a half months of training, Fern was able to accurately hit a boulder 500 meters away with Normal Attack Magic, but the power was still somewhat insufficient, and the boulder was only blasted into a few fragments.

"The power depends on Body Mana Condensation; this cannot be rushed."

Frieren scratched her head. She didn't have a good solution to this problem either. The only way to increase her Mana, besides accumulating time, was through training.

The best training method is to Mana Suppression Magic, restrict one's own Mana, and maintain this level every day. This will greatly improve the growth of Mana.

"Fern, the next spell will allow you to achieve as much as I have in the future, but it will be very difficult, very tiring, and you'll even want to give up all the time. Are you willing to try it?"

Frieren looked at Fern seriously, and passing on this magic to Fern was tantamount to acknowledging Fern as her apprentice.

Looking at the earnest-looking Frieren, Fern nodded heavily. No matter how difficult it was, she was willing to try as long as it made her Godfather proud.

Seeing Fern nod, Frieren didn't hesitate and passed on the Mana Restriction Magic to Fern, telling her that this magic would last a lifetime.

In just one month, due to the training that Mana Suppression Magic, Fern's Mana power increased dramatically. Now, she no longer felt that the boulder 500 meters away was a challenge; her goal had become the boulder 700 meters away.

Fern took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the distant boulder, which resembled a small mountain, standing silently seven hundred meters away. Its surface was rough and uneven, covered with the marks of time. Fern knew that this would be her training objective for the day. Once she completed it, she could go to the Amusement Park with her Godfather.

Thinking this, she gently raised her staff, its tip shimmering with a faint light—the condensation of her inner Mana. Fern took another deep breath and began to chant an incantation. Her lips moved slightly, her voice soft and magnetic. As the incantation was uttered, powerful Mana surged within Fern. She swung her staff, aiming directly at the distant boulder. A magic circle appeared, and a powerful energy shot out from its center—a dazzling beam of light that streaked through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

The boulder began to tremble under the impact of the energy light, and cracks appeared on its surface, as if it might collapse at any moment. Seeing this, Fern felt a little nervous.

As a gentle breeze swept by, the boulder was completely reduced to dust, and a hint of admiration appeared on Frieren's face.
