《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 10: Classmates
Advertisement
The first day's training mostly trained the physique of the sprite. The physique was the foundation for everything. Many innocent beginner Sprite Trainers wanted to train sprites' battle skills right after contracting—that was unrealistic.
Su Hao's plan for Silkworm Baby was firstly physical exercises, and secondly, training Silkworm Baby's speed and agility.
So long as the speed was fast enough and it had enough agility, the simple skill of "dodging" could make a sprite invincible.
Su Hao couldn't remember how many times he threw the frisbee in the morning.
Silkworm Baby was energetic at the start, but after failing a few times to catch the frisbee, it lost most of its energy.
Fortunately, it still yearned for the handsome looks of its own kind in the videos and remembered what Su Hao said, "All the hardship and pain in the shadow is to show off on the field."
It was a wise saying that it treasured in its heart.
The little guy gritted its teeth and persisted.
Its progress was also very fast. After many adjustments, Silkworm Baby finally remembered the correct way to exert force, it leaped up like a little puppy and caught the frisbee between its teeth.
"Only sprites, with a much stronger recovery ability than ordinary animals, can be trained like this."
Silkworm Baby was small in size, and it fell down quite a lot of times, but it only felt pain and didn't really get injured. Its physical strength also recovered quickly.
Its progress was visible to the naked eye.
There was no wonder that sprites were "main characters" favored by Mother Nature—humans were just their feeders.
After training from morning till noon, Silkworm Baby could already manage to leap up rapidly and get the frisbee within three seconds after it left the hand. Sometimes, it even made 360-degree flips in the air.
If it wasn't that Su Hao forbade Silkworm Baby to come too close, the little guy might pounce on the frisbee even before it left the hand.
"Gurgle~!"
Silkworm Baby shook the dust off its body. Successive successes brought it a sense of accomplishment, and its enthusiasm for training rose again.
On the contrary, Su Hao himself was actually pretty exhausted.
As Silkworm Baby progressed, he threw the frisbee faster and higher. He must have thrown it hundreds of times in the same morning. Later on, he threw it with all of his strength. His arms were so sore and numb that he felt he was probably not too far from getting big arm muscles.

"Let's rest and eat."
Silkworm Baby was just feeling a bit of contempt for its Sprite Trainer, but hearing about eating, it forgot about everything else, ran up to him happily, and rubbed itself against his trousers.
Su Hao took out a portion of jade powder and placed it in front of Silkworm Baby.
Silkworm Baby approached and opened its mouth.
"Gurgle, gurgle~"
The whole silkworm looked like (◕ᴗ◕✿)~
Su Hao also took out his own lunch from his backpack. His was pretty ordinary: two loaves of caterpillar bread and a bottle of milk tea.
He tore open the packaging, squeezed the bread upward a little, and took a bite.
Silkworm Baby: っ゚Д゚)っ
It looked at itself, and then at the caterpillar bread in Su Hao's hand, and somehow felt that they looked… a bit alike, very alike!
Can it be that disobedient sprites will be made into bread? Oh so scary, gurgle o((⊙_⊙))o
Su Hao didn't know what happened, but Silkworm Baby worked harder during the afternoon training.
Perhaps it was touched by my good qualities.
…
For a few days in a row, Su Hao brought Silkworm Baby out in the morning and returned before dinner.
Apart from basic physical training and spiritual force training, agility training was also one of the daily training plans. In Su Hao's plans, in the early stage, the battle power of Silkworm Babies in the early stage was mostly shown through its agility and hitting force.
Agility training had already changed from throwing the frisbee to throwing elastic balls.
Interspersed in between were strength training and hitting-withstanding training. Su Hao chose the low-cost and extremely productive training method, bumping against trees. It trained the Silkworm Baby's hitting force, made its skin thicker and harder during the collision, and even made it overcome the fear mentality to reach new heights in its life as a silkworm.
The only problem to overcome was that Silkworm Baby wasn't very willing.
Fortunately, there were also targeted psychological guidance in the cultivation plans… It wasn't that Su Hao was a harsh trainer, but Silkworm Baby was too bad at resisting temptations.
Su Hao also chose some relatively affordable spiritual plants according to the cultivation plan for Silkworm Baby to absorb. This was the benefit of Wood-Element Sprites—they both assisted in growing plants and absorbing the essences of plants.
The spiritual plant he chose was the most suitable for Silkworm Baby to absorb, and the cheapest.
On the eighth day of training, Silkworm Baby had gotten bigger in size, and its progress was already very clear.

On this day, when he set off in the morning, Su Hao already changed from running to riding a shared bike. Silkworm Baby, which had already grown into the size of a fat cat, ran after him with its little legs, and it was able to catch up with him!
The energy stored in its body had increased a lot, and its control of spiritual force also improved by many levels.
It could already focus the spiritual force light spots it spewed out to a straight line, with the furthest distance being 383cm and the longest timing lasting 5.4s. But the spiritual force output was already many times its initial level. The power was enough to tear up an ordinary piece of paper.
Without learning any unique skill, Silkworm Baby's battle power was still shown through its speed and strength. The spiritual force represented its accumulation.
However, it also learned how to wrap spiritual force on its body and use its full force for a hit. It could directly break a small sapling as thick as a teacup!
On top of the gratification, Su Hao also felt a bit regretful.
He regretted that he didn't find an opportunity to give Silkworm Baby a beating—now, he was already no match for it.
Its battle power was roughly equal to 1.5 of himself.
His position was relegated once again.
He also felt an almost unnoticeable bit of backward benefit on himself.
No, although he was a bit stronger, that was because he himself exercised, what had that got to do with Silkworm Baby?
Not far away, Silkworm Baby passed through the woods rapidly, continuously making "S" shapes or "8" shapes. It kept at its full speed, and occasionally it would accidentally bump onto a tree trunk, its soft body contracting toward the front, before bumping back at once.
The tree shook, and leaves fell.
Su Hao leaned against another tree and flipped the Moral Education textbook in his hand.
Sprite stream students also needed to study academic knowledge, and Moral Education was an important subject among them. The weightage during the college entrance examination would not be lower than any main sprite subjects.
There was clearly no such thing before transmigration!
On the brink of tears, Su Hao could only force himself to focus and memorize its content word by word.
Back side of Lake East Hill, by the lakeside…
A neat-looking young woman dressed in sportswear with long hair tied into a ponytail was squatting by the lake, giving orders to her sprite.
It was a sprite with a height that reached the calf, and a completely water-blue body consisted of water streams. It looked like a little girl wearing a long dress that reached the floor. It was submerged in the lake, lake water covering half of its body.
"Little Spring Sprite, absorb lake water, contain it in your body, then mix with spiritual force into a stream, and spray it out!"
"Hum~!"
Its little body inflated like a balloon. After many seconds, Little Spring Sprite's mouth opened slightly, producing a stream of water as thick as three fingers closed together, and it sprayed it out forcefully.
The white water stream was sprayed over a distance of more than 20 meters, bumping onto a tree trunk as thick as the open of a bowl. The continuous spray of water stream made the tree shake continuously. Bits of wood flew up from the trunk, water droplets splashed. After several seconds, the water stream finally lost its force, thinned into a water line, and dropped onto the lake surface and the earth.
There was already a wet puddle of water at the bottom of the tree, and much of the wood on the tree trunk was rubbed off. This spray of water stream, although not a unique skill, already possessed a preliminary wounding power.
"This is it, excellent!"
Little Spring Sprite ran up the land, as though asking to be rewarded. The girl held Little Spring Sprite, lifted it up, and made two turns.
She almost threw Little Spring Sprite out.
"Well… What shall we train next?"
Gu Lingyao took a notebook out of her backpack, on which was… The training plan her uncle had prepared for Little Spring Sprite.
A training plan carefully made by a certified Sprite Cultivator.
It allowed Gu Lingyao to start cultivating Little Spring Sprite before school started, and with methods wiser than those from the school. After all, there was no certified Sprite Cultivator to make personalized cultivation plans at school.
"Hum~ Hum~" The complimented Little Spring Sprite flapped her dress like water waves. "Hum?"
It suddenly looked toward the woods on land.
"What's up, Little Spring Sprite?"
"Hum! Hum, hum~"
"You're saying that there seems to be something over there?"
Gu Lingyao got nervous. Can't it be some wild beast?
She and Little Spring Sprite's two pairs of eyes stared at the woods.
Rustle.
Rustle.
The bushes shook.
A small little figure squinted out of it. Two sprites stared at each other.
Silkworm Baby: (O_O)?
Little Spring Sprite: (๑°⌓°๑)

Have you seen the future? I have not, nobody did, no one can. I see...have you heard of apotheosis' prophecy? What about it? Many didn't take it seriously, probably because nobody could crack its mysteries, but the indestructible prophecy rock has recently crumbled. It is a sign that things will change. ...What did the prophecy say? Sigh, you really don't know anything. There was a furnace drawn on the prophecy rock. There were three objects in it, named meaningless crown, black star and incomplete cross. When three signs appear the beast will awaken. Has the meaning been cracked? There are many hypothesis, but nothing concrete. The first object could have relation to king of some sorts, but in this vast universe there are many worlds, counties and kings. Who can really guess its meaning? It can also be metaphorical. What about black star? They say the second clue leads to eclipse, but this also says nothing. Third one? Cross is the symbol of divinity. The cracked cross might mean a lot of things, like person who wants to go against progenitor's ideas and laws and forcefully achieve divinity...It could also mean destruction of divinity, but something like that should be impossible... You're overthinking things. How could gods stay idle if someone is threatening their reign?Also, even if somebody is forcefully awakening, the gods will be alerted by commotion and won't let it succeed... Say, do you think that awakening beast is the one who will try to become one of us? Most likely. No, it's hard to say. The prophecy can't be that simple. This is nothing but wild guesses from our side. Alright, let's stop with depressing stuff. I found a nice place not too far from my domain constellation. Really? What's special about it? Nothing we've not seen before, except for a rare delicacy. They call it chocolate. Oh? Is it delicious? Yes, much better than slime candies you've been fond of. Are you free now? Of course! Then it's my treat. Be careful though, the sovereign over there is a bit low key, but very strong. You need to get to know world's customs first, we don't need extra trouble. No problem. We have nothing to do anyway, haha. What are we waiting for? Lead the way... Ark I - Invasion of thousand kingdoms (Chapter 1-???) Ark II - Nocturnal feast (Chapter ???-???) Ark III - False divinity (Chapter ???-???) Art by sandara on deviant art

8 188Nova: Omega
Nova: Omega is the story of Hitori Seishin, a mercenary on the planet of Esper. He leads Omega team in the Nova Mercenary Academy, and is the son of the legendary warrior Maia Seishin, now deceased. He is in the final days of his education at the elite Academy, where at the last minute he’s assigned a new teammate, Elvira. She is a total novice, but her unique abilities make her a promising addition to his team. We join the pair on their journey, Hitori, fighting to prove he belongs amongst the ranks of warriors indisputably his better, and Elvira, struggling to adapt to a world where the trophy for second place is a tombstone. Meanwhile, ancient and powerful forces clash in the shadows, racing across the globe to secure powerful artifacts capable of upending the foundations of the world. New chapters released every MWF. Sorry for the random tiny chapters. I structured and uploaded this as a series of scenes, some of which just didn't need to be very long. I could probably attach the "sub-scenes" to previous chapters, but that'd only be covering it up, so I'm not sure its worth it. Anyway if you find them annoying, let me know, and I'll put some more thought into it. I did, at least, make a point of always posting at least a thousand words on any given day (after I noticed the problem), which hopefully mitigates the problem.
