Wind Iktas is divided into two units. The first is the attack unit, this means all techniques that use long-range or close-range attacks fall under the attack unit. Next, the second unit is enhancement, also known as a buff. This unit helps Iktas users further increase their offensive power or self-defense. From the tips of the hair to the soles of the feet, every part of the body can be enhanced.
For example, if Wind Iktas is applied to the legs, the user can increase their speed. Likewise, if it is applied to the arms, the power source of attacks will increase. At the same time, it can also be applied to weapons or even to other Iktas users. It can be said that anyone who masters this technique will be extremely helpful in both group battles and solo combat.
"Do you understand the theory?" Isruf asked Rihisna, who was reading a book written by Isruf himself.
"Hmmm… more or less," Rihisna replied briefly.
"Now let's do it together," Isruf instructed as he took up a stance.
"First, we start with the legs."
Rihisna also assumed a stance like Isruf.
"Release your wind aura slowly."
"Then, channel it to your legs once the aura begins to emerge."
"Stabilize it in that area so it can last longer."
Rihisna followed every instruction given by Isruf. The wind around his body could already be seen starting to flow.
"So this is what Noriala did at the palace of the Kingdom of Ipa," Rihisna whispered to himself.
For Rihisna, learning the second unit of Iktas techniques was more difficult compared to the attack unit. This was because the attack unit only required gathering energy and releasing it. Unlike the second unit, it required perfect stabilization, after which it had to be maintained within the body. Otherwise, the Iktas would scatter and become unstable.
Slowly, the wind was released…
Then, it was channeled to the legs…
"Tch… you let it escape… but it's fine. For your first try, you're quite quick to grasp it," Isruf mocked lightly.
"Alright… keep practicing until you succeed, then show it to me, kid," Isruf instructed before walking away.
"Huh?… Alright, no problem, Master Isruf," Rihisna replied enthusiastically.
From then on, Rihisna continuously practiced the technique. He did not give up, even as the day approached dusk. Isruf did not expect Rihisna to be so persistent, to the point that he took no breaks at all. He spent the entire day solely focused on mastering the technique.
That night, Rihisna and Isruf had dinner in the yard of Isruf's house. They grilled fish that Isruf had caught while Rihisna was busy training. After finishing dinner, Rihisna quickly stood up and went to the riverbank. He watched the gently flowing water, beautiful due to the reflection of moonlight and starlight. It flowed calmly and peacefully.
"Oh, if the river water can be this calm, then surely Wind Iktas within the body can be the same," Rihisna whispered as an idea came to him.
He immediately took a stance, slowly releasing his aura. Gradually, it flowed through his body and into his legs. Now it was time to stabilize it. If observed, the river stabilized itself by following the gentle direction of the wind. The same principle should apply to the Iktas in his legs. And then, he maintained it.
"Alright, now it's time to show it," Rihisna said with great enthusiasm.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew. Isruf felt somewhat surprised by the nighttime conditions; usually, the night wind on the hill was gentle. He looked toward the source of the strong wind and realized it was Rihisna, running at high speed with Wind Iktas enhancing the speed in his legs. Rihisna leapt, flipped his body in midair, and landed smoothly.
"So, Master Isruf, did I succeed?" Rihisna asked stylishly with a smile.
"Woah… you've succeeded… alright, now let's race," Isruf said as he quickly stood up and released Wind Iktas into his legs.
The ground around them was blown apart by the powerful wind coming from both of them. Isruf swiftly headed toward the hilltop, with Rihisna following closely behind.
"Alright! Watch me do this…" Isruf instructed and immediately soared into the air, slowly floating above the ground.
"Oh… showing off, huh?" Rihisna jumped into the air, and his body naturally began to float as well.
"Wow… you got it on your first try…" Isruf was praised.
"Hehehe…" Rihisna grinned.
It was no surprise that Rihisna could fly in the air, because from the beginning, he was already capable of flying swiftly through the skies. Only now, he had to start from the basics in order to master all Wind Iktas skills.
