Infinite Skin System: Starting as An Eldritch Knight
Chapter 115: Ginro
[Added x99 Heart Race Potion to Brewer’s Chest]
Carter had 28 bottles left from last time. With the new batch, he had a total of 127 bottles of Heart Race Potion.
This could potentially be converted into 127 Awaken Superhuman.
The reality wouldn’t be that positive, of course. Not everyone would be the same as Nina and Quill. And there would certainly be failed cases.
[Removed x127 Heart Race Potion from Brewer’s Chest]
Carter placed the Heart Race Potions into the laboratory in the Metabolic Institute.
’Now that everything is settled down. I need someone to manage this place.’
Nina and Quill would continue to train and needed to become instructors for the new trainees.
Carter needed another person to manage the Institute and looked after its logistics problem. When there were more trainees and once they acquired their power, problems were sure to arise. Someone needed to take care of that.
There was no one more suitable than Dr. Avaline.
Carter flew to his lab in Atilla to talk about this proposition.
"Director of the Metabolic Institute?" Dr. Avaline rubbed his chin in deep thoughts. "That sounds good. But I still have my own research that I need to do. My team is also here."
"The Metabolic Institute has enough rooms for all of you. I have also built many laboratories for research."
Dr. Avaline smiled, "Well. If that’s the case, it would be stupid for me to deny."
The scientist shook Carter’s hands.
’The Metabolic Institute is taken care of. Now I just need to finish a few things. First... with the Invokers.’
A few days later, Carter arranged a meeting with the attended Invokers within the Metabolic Institute.
[SILVER INVOKER EQUIPPED]
Neros and Piper was waiting inside the gymnasium with a few Invokers.
"Who do you think Caine wants us to meet?" Piper said.
Neros shrugged, "I don’t know. It seems to be some Invokers that he and Zen met when they were off world."
"He’s sure it is an Invoker? There are other worlds that have our power." Piper said.
Neros shook his head, "I don’t know. We’ll just have to see."
The door swung open and the man in the white Gi entered. He had silver hair, a gnarly scar running across his eyes, and a huge heavy body.
His appearance was the opposite of what the Invoker would be, lean, small, and agile.
"You must be Neros and Piper." The silver-haired man approached the Invokers. He greeted the two Invokers first before turning to other and nodded, "Hello, everyone." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The man walked with intention. He had a certain rhythm to his movement.
"You are the Invoker?" Neros said.
"Not exactly an Invoker. But you can say so. My name is Ginro Musashi." Carter said.
"Hello Mr. Musashi. Can you tell us more about what you mean as not exactly an Invoker?" Piper said.
"Sure. But my last name is Ginro, not the other way around. I am not an Invoker because I was trained differently. In my world, people like me are called Genkoshi, Elemental Controller."
"Genkoshi..." Neros repeated the word.
"Caine has told me that you need a brush to channel your power. May I see it?"
"Of course."
Neros gave Carter his brush.
"This was made by the greatest artisan of the modern day. The body was made from the heart of the Red Oak. The hair was made from the feathers of a white swan."
Carter moved the brush in his hand. The Invoker Brush was made in a way that the thought could be transferred through and assist with the manifestation of the element.
"I see. I understand what the problem is now." Carter said.
"The problem?" Neros frowned.
Carter had all five aspects of an Invoker. Abstraction, Conceptualization, Manifestation, Visualization, and Volition. He knew what the brush was used for as soon as he touched it.
Abstraction affected the number of conjured elements. Conceptualization as Precision. Manifestation as Power. Visualization as Transformation. And Volition as Stamina.
These five skills must be trained rigorously to make a perfect Invoker.
The brush could amplify Manifestation, allowing the Invoker to skip the training of this aspect.
In the beginning, the brush may be useful to help amateur master their conjuration. But if kept on using the brush, their Manifestation couldn’t grow.
"This thing is only suitable for training. It’ll help you manifest better. But you must not rely too much on it. Because if you don’t train your Manifestation, you will have no power. Watch."
The silver-haired man approached a dummy. Fire enveloped around his hand as he punched the wooden dummy.
Fire wrapped around the dummy and burned intensely.
Carter jumped back and extended his distance with the dummy. He punched repeatedly in the air. Fist-shape fireball shot forward and landed heavily on the dummy.
Then he straighten his finger. Carter used his fingers like a sword and swiped over the dummy.
A thick air slash shot forward and extinguished all the fire.
"Woah!" Piper clapped her hands with admiration.
The other Invokers also clapped.
"How did you do that? How did you manifest even without a brush?" Neros frowned.
"You can do it, Neros. Even without the help of a brush. It will be hard. But it is possible. I will stay here for a few days and teach you how to properly manifest your elements."
All the Invokers nodded nonstop. There was hunger in their eyes. The hunger to train and become greater.
Carter wasted a few days to teach Neros and Piper about the basic. He exchanged knowledge with them regularly and was surprised to find out that this generation of Invokers lack a lot of basic knowledge.
All the Invokers of the past had died. The only one left tried to become a False God. There was no one to lead the Invokers in the right path.
But now, they had Ginro Musashi.
After exactly one week, Carter bid farewell to the Invokers.
Neros and Piper spread their left hand and put it on top of their fist. It was a martial gesture that Carter pulled from his old world.
He did the same gesture and they bowed.
"I need to leave with Carter Caine. It has been a pleasure in teaching you."
"It was also an honor to learn from you, Master Musashi."
"I recommend you try that Metabolism Class as well. We are compatible with Awaken Adrenaline and learning it would make us extremely powerful." Carter said.
"We will do our best."
