Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse
Chapter 364 364: "Talking" to mom
"So... We're now moving on to the force technique. Most of you should have seen me use it in that shark battle. As for Jade, I'll demonstrate it to you in a bit. However, the technique isn't exactly mine. So I have to ask for the owner's permission before I can teach it to you. Though I don't think they will refuse. But I doubt I'll be able to get through to them since I've been trying to do that for a long time with no success... Anyway, let me try..." Muku addressed the girls then took out his phone.
He immediately scrolled down to the very first number he saved on his phone. That's right, he was going to try to call Mrs C.
As for why he didn't do so before disturbing the girls... Well, he actually did try to call her but the call didn't go through. He was just trying his luck again, and there were other things they could do if the call didn't go through.
If he still couldn't connect to her, then he could only give up on teaching the girls the technique for now. After all, he had noticed that it was very important to Mrs C even if she pretended as if it wasn't.
And he wouldn't want to take advantage of her kindness by forcefully teaching it to the girls without permission. That was a matter of respect, whether she would have agreed or not...
"Hello! You've reached the mobile phone of the one and only greatest mother in all existence. Unfortunately she can't attend to your call right now because she's busy with something very important. However, she did leave a message for you. And that message will start in 3...2...1... You can teach them son, I don't mind. And thanks for asking. I wish I could be talking to you directly right now, but unfortunately I can't. So accept this pre-recorded message as a stand-in. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Oh and yes, I was looking through time and space when I created this message so I can basically see everything you're doing... I even saw you bullying that innocent girl, you naught boy! You better take responsibility and marry her! And don't think too much about it, I only looked at that specific day since it's linked to me. Anyway, I gotta go. Momma loves you!... Say it back or you'll be hit by lightning in the next five seconds!" Mrs C's lively voice was heard from the phone.
And as usual she did something absurd like it was nothing. Like who pre-records a voice message for the future while spying on the recipient's future self?!... That's right! Only Mrs C could!. Speaking of which, what the heck was her power?! The lady seemed to be able to do anything... Oh wait, she did admit to being capable of doing almost anything before right?
Well, whatever, that didn't matter for the time being. What mattered was that he had gotten the permission.
"I love you too. Mom" Muku spoke in a hushed voice even though he had isolated himself from the outside world with both a sound proof barrier and a metal barrier.
So, the girls couldn't see or hear him. However he still felt embarrassed. But he trusted his mother to do exactly what she said, so he didn't dare think she was bluffing.
"Hehe. That's a good boy. Hopefully, next time I won't have to threaten you into saying it. Anyway, goodbye for now, I can't talk much longer. It's too hectic here" Mrs C's voice was heard again then the voice note ended.
Muku stood there dazed for a moment as he thought of what could possibly keep his mother busy. While he hadn't seen her full power. Based on the little he saw... He was certain she was definitely one of, if not the most powerful being out there.
So for there to be something which even she struggled with... A sudden image appeared in his head.
It wasn't an image he had seen, but something he had been told about and visualised. That image was a bleeding sky.
That's right, he was thinking about the bleeding sky Jade mentioned.
He felt that if there was anything which could keep his mother busy, then that would be it. However, he didn't know just how accurate he was. After all, in his head, it was just a random guess in the dark.
Anyway, the thoughts on Mrs C made him more determined to get stronger. That way, not only could he keep the girls safe, but he could also assist his mother...
Thinking of that he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't know when it happened or how, but it seems Mrs C has wormed her way into his heart and took a position equally as important as the girls.
That thought made him chuckle. To think a grown man like him would be melted by a mother's love so easily.
Anyway, it wasn't the time to think about such things. The girls were still waiting for their training. He couldn't let them wait too long or they'll think he exaggerated too much when he said that the training will be brutal.
Sure, they were just starting, so he wasn't too intense. But still, they shouldn't think that it's too easy....
And so, Muku took down the walls and told the girls the good news.
After hearing that he spoke to Mrs C, they started cursing him out for not letting them talk to her too.
After all, they wanted to thank her for the clothes and everything else. Training Muku, being one of the reasons, even if she was doing it for herself as his "instant mother"...
It was only after Muku explained that it was a recorded message he interacted with did they give up. However they were still skeptical. After all, an interactive recorded message sounded absurd....
.....
A while later...
Everyone calmed down and got ready to begin.
"Okay everyone, your training is going to be a bit different from mine. The reason being that I received the information right into my brain. So I knew exactly what to do and how to do it the moment I comprehended the info. But you on the other hand will be getting the information in a verbal way from me. Meaning that it will take longer for you to grasp everything. But don't worry, you don't have to rush on this one. Even if you grasp everything. It takes a very long time for it to be applicable in battle unless you're a genius so I'm only teaching it to you so that you always have something up your sleeves for emergencies. Even if it's not much in the start. After all, sometimes, that little something is enough to decide one's life and death. Aren't I just the nicest for teaching you this?..." Muku addressed the girls in a casual but informative way.
They weren't strictly teacher and students like before the apocalypse after all.
In fact, he was certain that if he tried his pre-apocalypse teaching techniques on them. The chance of failure was pretty high. After all, they didn't look at him the same way and he didn't look at them the same way. Literally the only exception was Elsa who would probably learn just fine.
Anyway, after that Muku began instructing them on how to perform the technique. He began from the very basics which involved muscle control so that they didn't accidentally blow up their own bodies once they began taking in Force into their bodies.
He was quite familiar with that pain as he had suffered it when he first used the technique. His body wasn't used to it at all. Being in a fight with Scar didn't help either.
Speaking of Scar, he was glad he didn't meet the beast in his time in the Beast World. After all, he had arrogantly said that he would win their next battle like he won the first one.
But he knew that he wasn't the beast's match yet. Their strength will likely only intersect when he reaches R6 if not beyond.
Anyway, back to what matters. Muku continued teaching the girls how to properly control their muscles.
And surprisingly... Or expectedly rather, Audrey got it on the first try.
This was obviously because of her class. There was probably no other human who knew as much about the internal body of a human as she did. And that's because her blood element power allows her to "see" everything in the body of anyone she corrupts with her mana.
And while she would have preferred not to be like that. It was unavoidable with all their encounters with Tactoa.
Anyway, since blood was basically everywhere in the human body, including muscles. She was well versed in muscle control.
Which helped her immensely in controlling her own muscles after looking into her own body with her blood element.
The others could only look on enviously. And that included Muku. After all, he and the others could only feel things out as they went which usually involved some level of pain. However Audrey didn't have to do all that.
Freya finally understood what the others felt when she effortlessly used her mindscape while they couldn't.
The feeling was quite stifling. But she kinda liked it for whatever reason. Maybe because now she wasn't the only one who had it easy in some aspect....
