Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"Indeed." The principal nodded and raised his finger. Suddenly, the staff stopped falling and remained in its position as though something was holding it. "How about this?"

"You are using the Ena to grab the staff." Selena looked down, falling into deep thought. "But I have done a similar thing on that island."

"Indeed. This is the simple technique that you used to carry the water." The principal nodded.

"But… that one doesn\'t have a concentrated Ena…" Selena squinted her eyes.

"That\'s one of the few things you\'re going to learn today." The principal nodded. He created a rectangle on the ground, writing the four basics in each tip.

"The one I used to knock up your staff is \'Speed,\' and the one I used to hold the staff in the air is \'Form.\' What if you combine them together?"

"!!!" Selena raised her vision and took another look at the staff. "Wait a minute. The \'Form\' is not enough to carry that staff. That\'s why you create a small burst that keeps knocking the staff up and the \'Form\' is just there to keep the staff in that position!"

"That\'s right. This is the combination of Speed and Form." The principal nodded. "I call it Fold. If you do something like this on the island, I bet you can carry at least three times the amount of water."

The principal extrapolated the line from \'Speed\' and \'Form\' and named it Fold. "How about the others?

"The possibilities are infinite." The principal turned to Nathan. "What about your Ena manipulations? Bullets, correct?"

Nathan nodded. "Yes."

"How about you program several bullets right from the start? You have been shooting the bullets by first creating it through your mind and calculating its trajectory, correct?"

"Indeed."

"From what I\'ve seen, you\'ve created three types of bullets. The explosive, the straight, and the curving bullets.

"But have you thought about combining them?"

"Combining them?" Nathan tilted her head.

"That\'s right. The Explosive Bullet takes the concept of \'Concentration\' while the Curving Bullet takes the concept of \'Form,\' which creates its trajectory."

The principal raised his palm, forming an explosive bullet. He shot it to the front, which caused a powerful explosion.

Of course, the principal was strong, so Nathan wasn\'t really bothered by the power.

However, the principal raised his other palm so that each palm could form the same explosive bullets. And this was the beginning of the difficulty.

He actually fused them together, creating a bigger explosive bullet and shooting it forward. The explosion was at least three times more massive, which confused Nathan because the increase was supposed to be linear.

"What?"

"This is the combination between Concentration and Concentration. Selena has been using it instinctively by concentrating her Ena within the burst of an Ena. That\'s the foundation of her skeletal avatar. But by programming it beforehand, you are able to activate it faster and more powerful."

The principal started expanding the rectangular earlier, combining one line to another.

Eventually, he created another rectangular perpendicular of the original rectangle. After that, each tip was extended and created a bigger circle, creating a total of 32 points.

"By combining each basic, it will lead to another possibility. And that possibility will be combined with another possibility, creating a new possibility. And this is the new form of the basic Ena Manipulation, the one that makes me famous.

"32-Form of Ena Manipulation." The principal smiled.

"There are four things that I want to teach you for the next two days." The principal started to point out one name after another.

"The combination between Form and Speed, \'Fold.\' The combination of Concentration and Enhancement, \'Fortify.\' The combination between Form and Enhancement, \'Augmentation.\' Last but not least, the combination of Speed and Concentration, \'Flow.\'

"Let\'s begin the training, shall we?" the principal smiled.

"Yes, sir!" Both of them nodded with a solemn expression. Even Nathan was surprised by this 32-Form of Ena Manipulation. It looked simple at first glance, but it was also extremely complicated. It was no wonder why the Fairy Queen asked, \'Is the world progressing backward?\' when he asked about ancient techniques.

"I think I don\'t have to teach you about the Fold again. The training is simple." The Principal raised his palm. First, create a small sphere and keep letting it burst. Repeat it again and again while gradually increasing its power."

Nathan and Selena immediately proceeded with the training. As expected, Selena had no trouble doing it.

Meanwhile, Nathan\'s explosive bullets had been bursting again and again during the training, so he had gotten used to it. Although he was slower than Selena, he was still able to keep up with the pace.

It only took them two hours to get the hang of it.

"Let\'s move on to the second training: Flow." The principal turned to Selena. "How are you using your sweeping force, Selena?"

"I concentrate a certain amount of Ena on a single point and release it to follow the motion of my staff. I was inspired by Nathan\'s concept regarding in-motion."

The principal nodded. "In that case, how about attacking me with that sweeping force?"

"Are you sure?"

"It\'s fine. There\'s no way you are strong enough to hurt me." The principal waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Then…" Selena gathered her Ena and waved her hand, using the sweeping force from the left.

The principal also waved his hand, which actually pushed Selena\'s Sweeping Force much further to the left, ultimately missing him.

"!!!" Selena widened her eyes as if noticing something.

"Do you see the difference?"

"Yes. You don\'t gather your Ena to match my power. Instead, you\'re releasing the Ena with much higher velocity, which ended up directing my Ena."

"Correct. Instead of gathering your Ena faster, you make your Ena flow faster. Knights or Martial Artists have been using this kind of technique this whole time. For a knight, they are usually able to extend their sword strike similar to your sweeping force, but if you increase the velocity, it will create a thinner but much farther sword strike. The same applies to Martial Artists.

"Hence, try to move your Ena into your palm right now!"
