Chapter 7 - Training and Realmheart?

I always wondered what should happen if I were to trigger the sequences of muscle actions artificially, using mana. Would that have the same effect without having to move my muscles voluntarily? I had spent time injecting mana to specific muscles individually based on my past life knowledge and the results were... promising.

So if I trigger a sequence of actions involving all those muscles in a determined order...

Dorsiflexion of foot, flexion of knee, flexion at hip joint followed by plantar flexion of foot, extension of knee and extension at hip joint. These were the sequences that usually occur for a dashing forward motion, like in the beginning of a sprint race.

Should I try to trigger the muscles responsible for them in that sequence using mana while standing?

'I guess no harm in trying'

As I did perform the actions I had planned in my mind aiming for the area around where mother and the rest were, the world turned into a blur and I felt my head hitting something.

A burning sensation was felt at my spine, before my vision began to darken..

"GREY!" "Brother!"

Was the last thing I heard.

Sylvia POV:

We were watching over Caera and grey as they sparred. It's really surprising to see how fast her growth is even without a manifested body. She gave a kick to Grey's stomach when he attempted to disarm her and he knelt down in pain.

"Heheee" Sylvie seemed to be enjoying the sight. She got along really well with Caera, to the point she considers her family. A smile formed on my face considering the implications that meant. Even I feel like a kid. Agrona strangely wants to spend time with Sylvie, although it isn't much, it's better than nothing.

Caera walked back with a smile after helping Grey up. reaching us, she called him over. But soon Grey looked like he was deep in thought. All of us looked towards him because he wasn't responding.

A few moments later, I felt mana being used. Grey disappeared from his spot and instantly I heard a loud crashing sound at the tree near us. Looking over, I saw Grey collapsed on the ground, a huge impact mark on the tree. Blood slowly trickled down his forehead.

"GREY!" "BROTHER!"

Both Caera and Sylvie instantly rushed to his side. I got up from my chair and went to see what happened along with Seris. I knew he wasn't in mortal danger as his mana signature still stood strong. That didn't mean I was stable, I just hoped nothing disastrous happened.

I knelt down and checked for injuries.

"He seems to have had a concussion and a dislocated shoulder. The small laceration on his head should heal soon." I sighed in relief as I pushed his shoulder back in place.

As I got up, Caera and Sylvie both sat down and I could see thier eyes were moist. I smiled looking at them but a faint purple glow near his spine caught my attention. Kneeling down again and looking at the source while slightly shifting him, I could see another incomplete rune form as the glow subsided.What are these runes? I can't seem to figure them out. Pushing those thoughts away I turned my attention to more pressing matters.

If I'm not wrong, grey just did a technique similar to what the Theyestes clan's warriors are taught.

Mirage Walk.

Although I could sense mana being used,during his apparent travel, he was undetectable to the naked eye. I don't know how it would be for the mana infused one.
