Son of Chaos 22 Training Skill

"So have the two of you decided?"

Irena hesitated a bit but then nodded, "Yes, this is just to good of an opportunity to pass on it, so as long as Ivan is alright with me I will learn it."

"I don't know why I shouldn't be alright with you, so of course I will learn it too."

Irena looked at him and in her eyes he could see gratitude and a bit of anticipation.

"Thank you for not minding my looks.", she then says in a small voice.

Only now Ivan understood what she meant. It seems she didn't take him serious when he said he didn't know and instead thought that he was just polite. Still it was true that he didn't mind her look, since he somehow had the feeling that it would be possible to fix her face and if she just ate more her body should look quite good.

Thinking to this point he then started to wonder why he thought it would be easy to fix her condition but was interrupted by Mr. Evan.

"Great, great. Finally I can fulfill our wish.", he says emotionally and then grabbed both of their hands. "I hope you can make good use of this skill."

He then once again pulled out the skill book and asked them to both put their hands on it.

<< Congratulations, you have found a skill book with the skill Beauty Dual Training, do you wish to learn this skill? >>

* Huh, that name. *, but he didn't think long about it but accepted instead.

<< Congratulations, you have learned the skill Beauty Dual Training. >>

Method level 2: Hidden

...

Remarks: You are gonna be one beautiful man.>>

This was the longest skill description he had ever seen, but it told him a lot. He just wasn't sure what to think about that remark.

On the other hand Irena had quite a reaction when she got the skill description as her whole face lit up and she excitedly grabbed his hands.

"Come on Ivan, lets get started with the training."

"Wait a bit. Could the two of you please tell me the skill name and description first?", Mr. Evan asked them.

Ivan ignored Irena who was still excited and calmly told him the description.

"Wow, you really are lucky, since the side effects are positiv."

"You mean there are negativ ones too?"

"Of course. But at later states there will be other side effects coming to play so be careful of them."

"Oh. Then let us hope that they aren't bad."

"Usually they aren't. So I think you can be assured, especially since the first were already positiv."

"Lets go and train.", once again Irena voiced her wish. It seems she really hoped for the side effect to apply since Ivan didn't think that the thought of getting stronger would have motivated her like this.

Mr. Evan smiled and said, "Since you are so eager to start then go. You can use one of the training rooms of the school so you have your privacy."

"Thank you Mr Evan."

Irena then pulled Ivan along as she hurried towards one of the training rooms.

After they entered the both of them sat down in front of each other and put their hands together.

"Lets get started then."

Ivan activated the skill and moved his mana according to the manual. He could feel the mana flow through his body before leaving through one hand just to come back through the other. When it entered there were an additional energy surrounding it, which then slowly split up from his mana stream and seeped into his cells.

At first he didn't notice it, since the feeling was only faint but there was another stream of mana flowing through his body which seemed to pull in energy which traveled through him without ever interacting with him. He guessed that it was Irenas mana and he guessed that she should be feeling the same.

There was one thing which made him wonder and that was, why the energy would interact with the other persons mana but not that of the person itself.

* Whatever, there is no use thinking about it.*

Soon 30 minutes were spend holding up the mana flow and he now had the feeling he had to stop.

On the other side Irena had the same feeling and they both stopped the movement of their mana at the same time.

"Ah, that felt good.", Ivan stretched his extremities which felt a bit stiff after sitting still for so long.

At the same time he felt full of energy, which was a feeling he could get addicted to.

"Hey, did this session change anything for my scars?", Irena asked him as soon as she too had finished stretching.

"How could it? We only trained 30 minutes.", he answered without even checking.

"Tss, you didn't even check.", she sounded offended and he hurriedly decided to take a good look so she wouldn't get angry at him. After all she was much stronger than him and if she decided to beat him up there was no way for him to efficiently defend himself.

When he took a look he was surprised to see that the scars seemed to be a bit lighter.

"It can't be. There is no way this is so effective.", he mumbled to himself.

"What is it?", she asked nervously as she saw the surprise in his eyes.

"I think they are a bit lighter...", before he could finish her scream of happiness interrupted him.
