Chapter 269: Learning The Mystic Arts, not so fast


    "Might as well! Otherwise, I will think that this trip was a wasted one," said Kenichi as he stood up from his chair.


    Ancient One smiled after hearing Kenichi''s response as she stood up herself than said: "Since you want to be strong, it really shouldn''t matter how you gain strength the important thing is you do gain strength."


    "Yeah that''s right," Kenichi said nodding his head.


    Ancient One than looked at Kenichi and struck her palm towards him, out of instinct Kenichi dodged the palm by jumping backward.


    "This! I am not trying to attack you, I just needed to bring out your astral projection so that we could get you to travel the different dimensions and let your astral projection link with them" stated Ancient One.


    "I am sorry! I know about that but it is just my instincts that took over me that''s all" Kenichi said as he walked forward once again standing in front of Ancient One.


    Ancient One was surprised to hear that as she never thought his instincts would be so sharp that it would help him dodge her palm, even though she doesn''t focus on her hand to hand skills as much as her mystic skills. She still has been training for 500 years and to dodge her palm just based on instincts shows how great fighter Kenichi has be.


    "OK, this time I won''t dodge," said Kenichi as he stood in front of Ancient One.


    Ancient One nodded her head but this time she also increased the speed of her palm such that even if Kenichi tried to dodge it he won''t be able to do that.


    Kenichi, of course, saw the palming towards him with incredible speed and his body even tried to dodge it but he mentally controlled himself from dodging it.


    The palm struck and Kenichi''s astral projection was thrown out of his body from his back. Kenichi was feeling as if he was free and doesn''t have to feel the weight that he was carrying.


    "Let''s go, we have a journey to start," said the astral projection of Ancient One, Kenichi was so immersed in his new feeling that he didn''t even saw Ancient One''s astral projectioning out of her body.


    Kenichi saw the different dimensions as his astral projection followed the astral projection of Ancient One, even though he had already seen all of this once in the movie of Doctor Strange, seeing it on the screen and real life is really different, now Kenichi understood why Doctor Stephen Strange begged Ancient One to teach him mystic arts.


    After returning back to his body, Kenichi did a little stretching so as to check if there is anything different in his body but he didn''t feel anything different from his body though he did another source of energy other than his Ki inside him now, though it was more like a gate instead as it was dimensional energy which isn''t stored inside the body but is linked with it so that whenever the user of mystic arts need it they can use the link to get the dimensional energies and perform the mystic arts.


    "Now you have the dimensional energy inside you, so we can start your training," said Ancient One.


    "Great than what do I have to do?" asked Kenichi


    "Nothing much you just have to learn thesenguages, so that you could perform your spells," said Ancient One as 12 thick books came out of nowhere dropping in front of Kenichi who caught them all instinctively.


    "Wait! What?" Kenichi eximed in surprise as he looked at Ancient One who was smiling while looking at him.


    "Learning these Ancientnguages is necessary to perform spells as you need to understand the meaning behind the spells when you perform them, otherwise they won''t work" exined Ancient One.


    Kenichi ced the books on the table and one by one started to look at them.


    12 books, 12 differentnguages. Chinese, Sanskrit, Tamil, Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek, Basque, Lithuanian, Farsi, Irish Gaelic, Arabic, and dic.


    "I would suggest that you start with Chinese or Sanskrit as these twonguages are one of the most ancientnguages and thesenguages have the most spell that you will start to learn in the beginning" Ancient One suggested.


    "How the hell I am supposed to learn so many differentnguages? I don''t need these manynguages I told you before, that my fighting skills are hand to hand not mystic based. I will learn 3 to 4nguages at most that are the most important ones for me that''s all" replied Kenichi


    "It is alright, I won''t force you to learn them all if you don''t want but you would at least need to learn Chinese, Sanskrit, Tamil and Egyptian as they contain the spells which will be helpful to you" stated Ancient One.


    "OK, I will" replied Kenichi.


    "Than that''s all for now, everything else that you need to learn can only be started after you have learned at least one of thesenguages so I should send you back after all I brought you here when you were going to meet your family." Ancient One stated.


    "Yeah, please I can''t fly back to Japan on a ne, without my passport" stated Kenichi with a smile.


    Ancient One nodded her head and with her sling ring she opened the portal for Kenichi which will drop him right in front of his house.


    "I will contact you after you have learned one of thesenguages" stated Ancient One.


    "Thanks For the help," said Kenichi as he picked up the fournguage books that Ancient One has pointed out and walked through the portal.
