WAY OF AN OMEGA

53 - Holding Back

"PPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAHHH! "

The ground trembled as an earth-shattering fist came in contact with the ground. The natural defense array of the headmaster's quarters had activated absorbing the entire damage and leaving the ground scratchless.

The owner of the fist is non-other than Theo.

"You aren't giving your all yet..." A soothing voice came from a youth a few meters in front of the collision.

Theo retracted his fist off the ground and gave a wide grin on the youth.

"Here I thought I can do it in a stealthy way,  my wife's speed and reaction is indeed formidable. " Theo chuckled but looked at Yulrir as if he was trying to gauge him from head to toe.

"It might not also be a good idea to start the fight here.  Martial uncle might get angry. " Yulrir frowned as he scanned the hall.

"Good thing the array is enough to hold at least 2 to 3 attacks from a saint." Yulrir sighed in relief.

Theo looked around seemingly gauging the entire place and nodded.

"The place that the old man had given me whenever I go to seclusion or practice my skills is a good place." Theo suggested.

Yulrir smiled and nodded.  "Do you know how to go there? "

Theo rubbed the back of his head and gave a bitter smile.  "Well,  it is located at the back of the quarters.  We may need to walk a couple of minutes to the north."

Yulrir paused for a bit and turned his head in a certain direction.  Theo didn't move and waited for Yulrir to reply. 

After 3 breaths of time, he turned his attention back to Theo.

"I found it! " Yulrir smiled reaching Theo's right hand.

Theo's mouth gaped open.  "How did you do that? "

Yulrir cocked his head up seemingly in a gesture of confusion.

"Mana Perception... I have a wind affinity so as long as the place isn't devoid of air,  I can clearly perceive its location.  At my current rank,  I can at least scan up to 16 miles in radius." Yulrir replied sincerely.

"We can do that?! " Theo responded in a surprised manner.

"Don't tell me you don't know?!" Yulrir said chuckling.

"Yeaah!  I never did know!  I only use 'Soul Sense' and it was only effective in sensing other cultivators and not surroundings. The old man nor anyone from my tribe taught me 'bout that. " Theo replied honestly. Yulrir nodded in understanding,  he already heard from his elder sister that the venerable headmaster doesn't have 'mana pool' but indeed is one of the most formidable sword cultivators in the entire kingdom.

"Are you a wind user as well? " Yulrir asked in excitement.

"Yes..." Theo mumbled.

"Then congratulations!  Even if you have a little problem with your navigating skills,  I can at least teach you how to use mana perception and amplify it with your natural wind affinity. " Yulrir said in excitement.

Theo eyes twinkled and looked at Yulrir as if he was an angel who descended from heavens.

"I really love you, my wife..." Theo said unhesitantly and brought Yulrir's hand close to his chest.

Yulrir eyes widened in surprise and the 'thump' sound had once again resounded. He then sighed and knocked Theo's chest. "Don't get so spoiled now,  let's go there for now and start our training. " Yulrir walked out of the hall in large strides.
