The spectators, mesmerized by Malon's display of swordsmanship, could barely catch a glimpse of his sword's movements. It moved with such speed and finesse that it seemed to blur in the air, leaving only a trail of gleaming steel.
Vaeral, impressed by Malon's deftness, adjusted his tactics. He intensified the assault, launching earth bullets with increased speed and force. The ground beneath them trembled with each impact, sending echoes through the training area.
But Malon rose to the challenge, his focus unyielding. He remained composed, his swordsmanship a testament to years of dedication and discipline. With each strike and parry, he showcased a deep understanding of his weapon and a mastery of his art.
As the training session progressed, Malon's confidence grew, and his swordsmanship became even more effortless. He moved with grace and precision, countering every earth bullet that came his way. His defensive maneuvers were a seamless blend of agility and calculated movements, leaving no room for error.

Timeless Slash: As the skill is unleashed, the world around the user seems to slow down, and faint, shimmering aura envelopes their weapon. With a swift and precise motion, the character slashes through the fabric of time, creating a rift that extends in the path of their attack. Cost: 30 MP.
Timeless Aura: passively increases all of your parameters by three points.
"This is almost unfair… you can control your time magic this much already?" Vaeral furrowed his eyebrows. "You can adjust your speed according to the situation.
"Hehe, it is all a matter of skill," Malon smiled proudly.
Aion gave Malon some pointers when it was necessary. Still, eventually, he began to progress by himself without the need for assistance. Still, he didn't expect that he would get another class now.
The next turn was Ailen agaisnt Vaeral. Once they faced each other, their determination was palpable in the air. Vaeral unleashed increasingly potent earth attacks, shaping the very ground beneath him to propel devastating projectiles toward Ailen. Meanwhile, Ailen channeled his focus, infusing his arrows with the power of time to counter Vaeral's onslaught.
With a surge of energy, Vaeral summoned rocks, boulders, and shards of earth, hurtling them toward Ailen with incredible force. The ground trembled beneath his feet as he commanded the raw power of the earth. Each attack grew in intensity, aiming to test Ailen's defenses to their limits.
Ailen, undaunted, notched an arrow onto his bowstring. He tapped into his techniques, imbuing his arrows with the essence of the magic he just learned. As Vaeral's earth projectiles closed in, Ailen's keen eyes tracked their path. With perfect timing, he released numerous arrows, guiding them with a touch of magic.
The arrows met the incoming projectiles with precision, colliding agaisnt them and turning them into dust upon impact. The clash of elemental forces and temporal power resulted in a magnificent display of energy. The earth projectiles shattered into fragments, reduced to harmless specks as Ailen's arrows neutralized their destructive force.
Vaeral, impressed by Ailen's skill, intensified his attacks. He manipulated the very earth beneath Ailen, causing pillars of rock to surge toward him. Each pillar aimed to catch him off guard, overwhelming him with sheer force. But Ailen's focus remained unyielding.
Drawing upon her time-infused arrows, Ailen unleashed a volley with unwavering accuracy after jumping. The arrows sailed through the air, leaving behind trails of temporal energy. They struck the earth pillars with pinpoint precision, causing them to crumble and disintegrate before they could reach him. The clash between earth and time resulted in a breathtaking spectacle, filling the training ground with echoes of power.
As the training session progressed, Vaeral continued to refine his attacks, testing Ailen's limits. Each assault became more intricate, combining earth manipulation and projectile precision. Ailen met each challenge head-on, her arrows guided by the essence of time, maintaining a delicate balance of power to destroy the incoming attacks without overpowering them.

Timeless Shot: You can shoot an arrow with as much power of charge as you want, but the more power you charge, the more feedback you will receive. Cost: 30 MP.
Timeless Perception: You can intuitively understand how much damage you need to deploy with your attacks to damage the enemy as much as possible without wounding yourself. Higher levels make you able to feel how stronger the opponents are.
"And I thought that I had some convenient skills…" Vaeral furrowed his eyebrows.
"Hard work beats talent, all day, every day," Ailen smiled, and then he and Malon high-fived each other.
"It seems that you are all ready for the true battle…" Ervan said while showing a serious expression. "With the power of the spirits and your new skills, we should be able to face Tenebres' minions. Unfortunately, I won't be able to help since I will have to focus on using time magic to move between the periods of time where we will face his minions."
Everyone calmed down after they heard that. In terms of raw power, Siora was stronger than Ervan when it came to magic. Still, his experience and knowledge couldn't be traded that easily.
"Do you know the periods of time that we should go to deal with them?" Ailen asked.
"I know about history to guess which periods he is going to mess with," Ervan replied. "Instead of finding them, I am more worried about what we are going to find… those periods of time were far from normal."
