The early morning light cast a gentle glow across the training hall as Astron prepared for another intense session. However, as he entered the simulation room, a notification pinged on his wrist communicator.
He glanced down to see a ssage from Dakota.
[Dakota: Hey, Can't make it today. Got so stuff to handle. Keep up with the simulations. Tomorrow, we test you against . Stay sharp.]
Astron was flabbergasted. Specifically, how the ssage had been written was that how a master would talk to their disciple. Dakota was really an oddball amongst the others.
'This is…..really sothing….'
If there were another person like her in the world, that would be a certain tomboy.
'One day….I would like to see the eting between you two.'

Tianna watched in awe as Astron effortlessly swung around the training area using the [Grapple Link] spell. His speed in conjuring the spell had increased dramatically over the past two days, making it fast enough to be used in real missions. Each thread he created was strong and flexible, seamlessly integrating into his acrobatic maneuvers.
Astron swung from one wall to another, his movents fluid and precise. He landed lightly on narrow ledges, using the [Grapple Link] to maintain his balance while executing complex turns and flips. The combination of conjuring the thread and maintaining his balance while swinging was a challenging task, but Astron made it look effortless.
Tianna could hardly believe her eyes. 'In just two days, he's mastered a technique that takes most trainees weeks, if not months, to perfect,' she thought, shaking her head in disbelief. 'He's not just using the thread; he's integrating it into his movents like a natural extension of his body.'
As the session ca to an end, Tianna approached Astron, her expression a mix of pride and amazent. "Astron. You've mastered the [Grapple Link] to a level where you can use it effectively in a mission. Your balance and control are outstanding. I believe you're ready to take the exam for the fifth stage tomorrow."
Astron nodded, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. "Thank you, Instructor Tianna. While I appreciate your praise, I'm not satisfied with my progress yet. I feel like I can do a lot better than this."
Tianna raised an eyebrow, "You can do better than this?"
"That is right. The spell you taught gave an idea. If I can master the spell and its usage well, there is sothing I want to try."
"Ah? I see…" Tianna responded, her interest deepening. "What kind of technique are you talking about?"
Astron looked thoughtful, his gaze distant as if envisioning sothing complex. "It's hard to explain, Instructor. I'm not even sure of its basics yet. But once I can develop it, it would an a whole different thing."
Tianna frowned slightly, not entirely understanding but sensing the depth of his ambition. "A whole different thing? Can you give any idea of what you're aiming for?"
Astron shook his head. "Not yet. It's still forming in my mind. I need to experint and refine the concept before I can fully explain it. But I'm confident it will enhance my abilities significantly."
Tianna nodded slowly, a mixture of skepticism and admiration in her eyes. "Alright."
'When I was young…I was like that, was I not?'
She rembered the monts when she would also ask a lot of questions and would ponder on herself a lot. However, that type of mont beca more and more scarce as she grew older.
'Maybe I should start rembering it too.' "I trust your judgnt and your abilities. Keep working on it, and when you need it, you can consult . I will do my best to try to help you."
At that, Astron looked into her eyes and nodded his head.
"I will do that."

"Do you wish to challenge the sixth stage?" Kennet asked, his voice carrying a hint of surprise.
"I do," Astron replied, his determination unwavering.
"I see." Kennet nodded, motioning for Astron to proceed.

Kennet watched closely, impressed by Astron's progress. "He's almost there," he thought, observing Astron's near-perfect execution. "But the last two stages will be a lot harder to complete."
As Astron continued, Kennet's respect for the young man's abilities grew. The final stages would be the ultimate test of his skills, but Kennet felt a rare sense of optimism.
Astron was proving to be an exceptional student, and his potential seed limitless.
