My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

Chapter 221 Fist Of The Calid Sun



After taking medicine, Vinigo's symptoms gradually subsided. His sense of smell returned as soon as he smelled the strong odor coming from the bottle of green liquid, his sense of taste returned with the distinctive taste of the liquid, and his vision returned as soon as the medicine reached his digestive system.

For this reason, after he heard Luke say his name, he turned to Luke and looked him in the eye. The half-wolf heard the old man's heartbeat speed up as he turned to look at Luke, but when Vinigo finally looked at him, the old man's heart calmed down.

"Oh! You're the half-beast who won the Tournament of Legends a few months ago! Are you a Lange? That reminded me of a woman with a Lange surname that I once met. For a moment I thought you might be her son or something, but it's impossible. She wasn't a half-beast."

"Ann... I'm glad you recognized me. Sorry, I asked this... but who are you?" Luke had to lie. Although it didn't look like Vinigo recognized him as an enemy of the demons, Luke still didn't want it to look like he walked into that office intentionally.

"Cof... Cof... I apologize for not introducing myself. My name is Vinigo, I'm the Professor of Alchemy, a select subject."

Luke arched his eyebrows, faking surprise. "Oh? Alchemy? I've always had quite an interest in that subject. I wonder if I could stop by your room sometime to observe one of your classes?"

"Another teacher watching my class? Hahaha! I don't think so! Coff..."

Rejected by Professor Vinigo, Luke said his goodbyes and left the office with a sour taste in his mouth, feeling as if that wasn't his expected answer. He thought he was approaching the old man correctly, but the old man's last sentence destroyed that expectation.

However, the Doctor's ignorance made the half-wolf reconsider the idea of taking advantage of his moment of weakness, and he did something in the end. Since Bastet had learned a new technique a few weeks ago of literally hiding in the shadows, Luke trained him to hide in people's shadows, and in this way, he ordered Bastet to hide in Vinigo's shadow, who didn't even notice him.

According to the tests Luke did inside the < Eye of Horus>, the Summoning could stay hidden in someone's shadows for up to a week, according to the tests Luke did inside the <Eye of Horus>. The real problem was that Bastet was still just a cub, and could get into some trouble with Luke away. Still, the half-wolf wasn't worried, because Summonings can't be killed. When Summonings are destroyed, as Luke did with Namor's wolves, they simply return to their bearer and return after some time.

According to Alexis, a unique chill can be felt when a Summoning is destroyed, followed by a warning message in mind.

"Ahh…" Luke expressed as he finally reached his room in the dormitory after another long day.

Since the Oukiwa Noble Academy was now in boarding school format, even the half-wolf who was a teacher needed to comply with security protocols. Thus, when his working hours were over, Luke would go to his room to study.

On this particular day, when Luke arrived at his room, it was already over six o'clock in the afternoon. Spring was finally beginning to show itself after a long winter, and the scarlet sunset appeared again on that afternoon.

"Has it been more than three days since Bastet has been in the Doctor's shadows?" He wondered while watching the sunset from his window. Some days went by so fast that Luke didn't even notice.

Now that he had finished reading all the textbooks that Namor had lent him, he was reading them all once again. His text comprehension wasn't perfect yet, so there were passages in some of the books that he couldn't understand very well.

Even with all the current problems, Luke was always focused while he was reading these books, especially his favorite one. This book that was his favorite was called 'Lost Martial Arts of the Skoll Continent', and in almost a hundred pages, the book chronicled some techniques that were used by the ancient warriors who lived on the Skoll Continent, in a time so far away that even Genes Skills weren't used yet.

For most people, this could be just another historical book or, for stricter readers, a folklore book. However, for the half-wolf, this was a very interesting book precisely because, in a specific chapter, a martial art called 'Fist of the Calid Sun' was mentioned in the form of a short bedtime story.

[Story: A boy and the Sun.

In a village far away from the ocean lived a boy with hair as white as the moon and eyes as black as the bottom of the sea.

His greatest dream was to see the sun one time, but his whole village loved the moon, so this was impossible.

Even though he knew it was impossible to find the sun, the boy dreamed every day of a bright sphere hovering over the sky and illuminating even the darkest corners of the world, banishing all the evil that hid there and curing the sick.

As the years passed, this vision began to appear less frequently. Sometimes the boy, who was now almost a man, still dreamed that vision of the fireball. But one day, that dreams ceased, and the man forgot his most genuine dream.

Once the man became a father, this was the happiest day of his life, because seeing his son's little eyes made him feel complete like never before. He could sacrifice anything in his life to protect those little hands.

A few days after his birth, the man's son became very sick, weak even to eat. The man went into despair, because the village healers said they couldn't do anything to help him, and that the best he could do for his son was to dedicate the soul of the poor child to the moon.

For a father, it was impossible to accept the death of his only and first son.

While the man was walking through the village, he found the drawing of a sphere with small wavy lines around it carved into a stone. His old dream of meeting the sun came back at that moment like an avalanche, a shock of reality. He wondered how he could forget something so important.

In his dreams, the sun chased away evil and cured sickness. With faith that the sun would help his son, the man broke the taboo of his village and began to try to drill through the walls of that cave to get out.

Soon, the men of the village had to hide their picks, hoes, shovels, and everything else he could use to try to break through the rocks that he believed separated them from the sun. However, even without tools, nothing could stop the man's determination to save his son, and he began to use his fists to break the rocks.

His hands became huge in the first few days, the wounds that opened up found no time to heal, and his fists slowly became warm. In a short time, the tips of his fingers were so sharp that they cut through rocks as if they were simple leaves from some tree, and thus was created the 'Fist of the Calid Sun', a technique capable of cutting through even the moonshine bindings.

The village people begged the man not to get them out of the moon, but the man didn't care. He only thought about trying to save his son.

When the sun's rays finally reached the village, half of the villagers died, but the man's son practically came back from the death hug to the arms of his father and mother].

To anyone, this was a tale-telling of how willpower in a martial art can take a practitioner to levels that he may himself be unaware of, and other lessons too. However, to Luke, these things didn't matter because the only thing he was interested in was how similar this legendary technique was to the technique he had learned from Yoelona about how to make his fingers sharp.

'Could it be that if I train my fists even more, I could reach that level?' he wondered.

Immersed in his thoughts, Luke was startled when he heard someone knock on his door and Nathalia's voice soon after.

"Luke, are you still awake? Can we talk? I have... a doubt in an arithmetic lesson."
