Chapter 968 Assessnts
After dealing with the trouble, Theo and Maya walked around the area since Theo was curious about the terrain.
"The air is fresh and cool. It's so refreshing." Maya stretched her body with Theo since they prepared to climb this small rocky hill. "To think I would climb this hill first before checking my room…"
"If you want to, you can simply leave here." Theo shrugged.
"Co on. You should know that you are hot news for everyone. Who knows how many problems will co to you if I let you go alone." Maya shrugged. "And it's not like Mark can be reliable in this situation. It's better to go with ."
"Still…"
"Don't worry. I'm pretty easy going. I am pretty friendly to others unless they ss with . It won't be strange for us to go together." Maya smirked.
"Okay. Then, I hope you can match my speed." Theo looked at the rocky hill and smiled.
"What are you planning to do?"
"I want to try sothing I can't do in the mansion. Using my Telekinesis to change my direction or sothing like that." Theo took his first leap and landed on the tip of a rock.
After that, he turned to the left and jumped. However, his Telekinesis tried to push him to the right. Due to the collision between two forces, Theo ended up going forward.
"What the… That's awkward." Theo muttered while checking the force he applied to his Telekinesis.
Maya suddenly landed next to him while saying, "You shouldn't do that. You might sprain your ankle. Besides, Paula's footwork is different from yours."
"What is the difference?"
"Her footwork is utilizing the force of her sole. In other words, her fingers, heels, and other parts need to be nimble enough to move and apply enough force. That's why her movent can be unpredictable.
"Also, her footwork doesn't stop there. She doesn't produce any sounds when walking, so it's hard for you to sense her.
"Her family is known to be a family of assassins after all." Maya explained while shrugging.
"You never wanted to learn sothing like that?" Theo asked.
"You should already know that families will try to kill you to stop their special techniques from being spread, right? Do you want a family of assassins to target you?"
"Fair enough." Theo nodded. "But it's not like we're getting the information from her. I'm simply trying to create my own footwork."
"If that reasoning is enough to stop a war, this world will be peaceful."
"Haha. I was kidding." Theo chuckled and raised his vision. "What I actually want to do is…"
A light appeared in the tip of his fingers as Theo released them forward. The light split and flew for a bit before landing on a few rocks.
"Can you see that?"
"See what?" Maya tilted her head in confusion. All she could see was Theo marking the stones with his Magic Power.
"The distance between each stone." Theo gave another hint.
"What do you an?" Maya still didn't understand Theo's words. "There's nothing wrong with the distance. They're only a few feet away from each other and…"
Suddenly, she fell silent as if finding sothing weird in the distance. "Wait a minute. You marked twenty of them. The distance is slightly longer at the tenth and twentieth steps."
"I think you know what I an." Theo smirked as he said, "This is what I actually want."
"Did you rember the steps Paula took when she was training here?" Maya dropped her jaw to the ground. "Now that I think about it, you didn't imdiately turn around when Jefferson and Tyler approached us. Was it because you were trying to rember her steps?"
"Exactly." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "From my understanding, small steps will allow you to get unpredictable footwork. After all, each step can be used to change your direction.
"So, it's weird to see her taking a bigger step every ten steps. I'm assuming the steps are taking a great toll on her body and mind because it's relying on Breathing. She's an assassin, right? She should be good at Awareness to conceal her presence.
"Just taking a look at these facts, you know that she hasn't perfected her footwork yet. If she can't even do sothing perfectly in a calm situation, there are opportunities to attack her. As long as you can see through those few bigger steps, you can hit her." Theo smiled.
Maya fell silent for a mont before suspecting Theo's intention. "So, do you want to challenge her or sothing? To think you would analyze her movent…"
"Instead of movent, I'm pretty interested in her Five Aspects, specifically her Breathing. If I'm not wrong, breathing patterns will change depending on their usage… Releasing your Magic Power, strengthening your power, or even assimilating your Magic Power.
"What I'm lacking right now is Breathing. So, I want to see what kind of Breathing technique suits . Rember my sloppy jump earlier? If I have a small explosive burst in my jump, I might be able to control the distance of my steps." Theo smirked. "This is what I want to know… What kind of Breathing Technique suits the most, and can I combine my Breathing with my Awareness, Control, and Endurance?"
"…" Maya was speechless after listening to him. She soon realized why Agata actually improved so much just by following him.
If she could hear his thoughts and lecture all the ti, she believed her progress wouldn't lose against Agata's. And the latter even had the privilege to exchange thoughts with him so that they could resolve so of her problems in Martial Arts together.
"Wait a minute… What did you say earlier? Awareness, Control, and Endurance? You have trained your Endurance too? And I heard the foundation of your Technique is great. Are you telling you can master all five aspects? Are you insane?"
Theo tilted his head in confusion. "Well. That just happens."
"Can I get so of your talents?"
"But you already have your business talent. Even I need to admit defeat…" Theo shrugged.
"Still, you can kill easily in the future." Maya rolled her eyes.
"I thought we were friends…" Theo looked away, reminding Maya about their engagent talk.
"Hahaha." Maya made a wry smile. Now that he ntioned it, she truly had nothing to say. "I can ask Father about Breathing Techniques. Both of our companies should have a total of 7 Breathing Techniques; you can see which one suits you the most."
"Thanks." Theo nodded in agreent, feeling satisfied with how his words could make Maya give the Breathing Techniques.
"Though, do you mind if I teach this to Mark? Who knows he can defeat Paula with this information? Taking the 1st, 4th, and 5th spots are quite good for our companies." Maya had a sly smile on her face while raising her fist.
Theo smiled and did a fist bump while saying, "As you like."
