Extra Survival Guide to Overpowering Hero and Villain-Chapter 233: Train II

She simply trained him harder.

The Second Week

Something new happened.

Fenric didn’t collapse anymore.He still got tired, but he stayed standing.

He lifted the giant log with less shaking.He ran his laps without falling on his face.He could fire arrows after training without his arms wobbling.

Seraphina raised an eyebrow one morning.

"Your stamina is improving too fast," she said.

Fenric scratched the back of his head. "Saint-class, right?"

"...Right," Seraphina replied, though she seemed unsure.

But she didn’t push it.

The Third Week

Aura training officially began.

He learned how to feel the energy inside his body.

How to breathe in rhythm with his heartbeat.How to tighten his core when attacking.How to steady his hands when drawing the bowstring.

Fenric absorbed everything quickly.

Too quickly.

Sometimes she explained something once... and he did it perfectly the next moment.

Even she seemed surprised.

The Fourth Week

Fenric was no longer the same boy who walked into the village.

His body was leaner, stronger, and faster.His movements were smoother.His aura—the tiniest flicker—actually appeared for the first time. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

A faint golden shimmer around his arm.

Seraphina dropped her training stick when she saw it.

"...Already?"

Fenric blinked. "Is that... good?"

She stared at him for a long moment.

Then she sighed.

"You have the basics now. Aura foundation, body strength, endurance, and bow discipline.Most people need one full year to reach this stage."

Fenric’s jaw dropped. "One year?!"

"Yes," she said calmly. "And you did it in one month."

Liana, who was sitting on the fence eating fruit again, choked.

"ONE MONTH?!"

Spunky barked proudly like My human is a monster!

Fenric rubbed his neck awkwardly. "I... don’t feel that special."

Seraphina looked at him with a strange expression.

"Saint-class users are rare for a reason," she said.

She turned away for a moment, her expression tight.

Her thoughts were sharp and quiet.

No wonder the gods don’t let many Saint-class wielders live long.Their growth is too fast... too shocking... too dangerous.This boy is going to attract attention he won’t be ready for...

She forced her face back to calm and stern.

"Fenric," she said, "you now have the foundation.We can begin real training."

Fenric blinked.

"...Wait. That wasn’t real training?"

Seraphina smirked slightly.

"No.That was warm-up."

Fenric fell on the ground.

Liana laughed so hard she almost fell off the fence.

Spunky barked like You’re doomed!

Seraphina tapped her stick on the ground.

"Get up, Fenric. From tomorrow onward—we begin true Aura training and combat skills."

Fenric groaned, but he stood.

His golden fate shined quietly.

The next morning, Seraphina called him to the training grounds earlier than usual.

Fenric arrived rubbing his eyes.

Liana arrived half-asleep.

Spunky arrived fully awake, tail wagging like a drill instructor.

Seraphina didn’t waste time.

"Fenric," she said, her voice calm but serious, "today we begin real Aura training. Before we start, you need to understand what Aura truly is."

Fenric straightened his back.

"Alright. Teach me."

Seraphina nodded and began explaining in simple, clear words.

"Aura has levels. But it also has quality."

Fenric blinked. "Quality?"

"Yes. Most people only care about ’leveling up’ their Aura—strengthening it, expanding it, using it to fight.

But true warriors know something more important."

She tapped her chest lightly.

"The quality of your Aura decides your future strength."

Fenric leaned forward.

"What do you mean?"

Seraphina raised one hand and drew seven small symbols in the air using mana.

They glowed faintly.

Aura Quality Levels:

Black — the weakest, unstable

Grey — common but fragile

Bronze — beginner warrior level

Silver — trained and stable

Gold — rare, elite-level

Platinum — extremely rare

Diamond — almost legendary

Pristine White — mythical, perfect

(so rare most people don’t believe it exists)

Fenric stared, wide-eyed.

"...There are that many?"

"Yes," Seraphina said. "And most people are stuck with whatever they awaken at. Their Aura quality barely improves."

Fenric swallowed.

"So fighters level up... but their Aura stays weak?"

"Exactly. If they don’t train the quality, their growth becomes slower and weaker later."

Fenric nodded slowly, absorbing everything.

Seraphina stepped closer, her tone becoming more formal.

"Warriors must do two things at the same time:

1. Fight stronger foes to raise their levels, which in turn increases Aura too.

2. Purify their Aura to raise its quality."

Fenric blinked.

"...Like two progress bars at once?"

"Exactly."

Fenric scratched his cheek. "And if I don’t purify my Aura?"

Seraphina exhaled.

"You will grow strong in the beginning...

then hit a wall later.

A wall even Saint-class users cannot break."

Fenric nodded.

"Okay. Makes sense. So... what quality am I?"

Seraphina lifted his arm gently.

A faint golden shimmer appeared.

She stared for a long moment.

"...Bronze," she said slowly.

"That’s good," she added. "Most beginners start at Black or Grey."

Fenric scratched the back of his head.

"So I got lucky?"

Seraphina gave him a look.

"No. Saint-class users do not get lucky. They start ahead of everyone else."

Fenric froze for half a second.

He forced a small smile.

"R-right... the class..."

Seraphina didn’t question it.

Instead, she pointed her training stick toward him.

"Fenric. From today onward—your goal is to raise your Aura quality to Silver before we begin real combat lessons."

Fenric blinked.

"Just Silver? That sounds easy."

Seraphina stared at him.

"...Bronze to Silver takes most beginners six months."

Fenric’s smile froze.

Liana choked on her apple.

Spunky barked like Hahaha have fun dying!

Seraphina raised a hand.

"But you? With your growth?

If you reach Silver in a month...

I won’t be surprised anymore."

Fenric nodded, standing straighter, ready to absorb every word.

Seraphina exhaled softly, then placed her hand on her upper chest—right over the heart.

"Purifying Aura is done by creating Aura Circles near your heart," she explained.

Fenric blinked. "Aura... circles?"

"Yes."

She slid her fingers slightly, and three faint, glowing rings appeared just beneath her skin—circling slowly over her heart like rotating halos.

Fenric’s eyes widened instantly.

He definitely wasn’t looking at anything else...

but Liana still coughed loudly from the fence.

"Eyes up, Fenric!"

Fenric nearly jumped.

Seraphina ignored them and continued calmly:

"These are Refining Circles.

They purify, stabilize, and increase both the quality and quantity of Aura."

Fenric leaned closer, fascinated.

"So... I need to make these too?"

"Yes," she said. "But you can’t just create a Refining Circle out of thin air. First—"

She pointed into the forest behind the training grounds.

"—you must defeat and harvest a Medium-tier Aura Beast Core. That core becomes the seed of your first Aura Circle."
