Mixed Emotions

First topic message reminder :

Austin had a sword in his hand he was practicing his swings on a near by tree as he went back and forth he kept remembering how he lost to Erza and he needed to get better Austin had been out here for hours he was sweating his body was sore from all of the training he didn't understand how he couldn't beat her he felt weaker then her and he felt shame to his guild but at the same time he was happy he fought her

Raphael was quiet he took out a book and began to read it. He leaned against a tree and kept one hand in his pocket. "Hmm....interesting indeed."

"If your wondering this is all they do read books,trade and have sex with women I'm the only one who does something with his time" Soumei said putting his hands on his pockets as he watched Austin

"Reading books while trading hoars is a hard task my friend" He says taking Soumei's jabs in jest. He turned his attention to the young mage "It's been awhile since I have been at my limit, but I remember crossing the threshold. Get yourself to the edge of your ability, empty on the magic power, and find a way to keep fighting. It doesn't matter how trivial the things are that happens past that point, because you will have...in essence passed your limit. From that point on you keep bringing yourself to that point and pushing. It's a tedious process, and getting started is hard to do. Even Erza couldn't truly get you to that limit.....perhaps" Kei thinks for a moment, this could be interesting. Resolved to his minute old plan he summons a small tornado on his index finger "I'll help you get to your limit?"

"Books are knowledge and I prefer not to be on the short side. As for women you say, Kei would be the hound for women." Raphael closed his book, you tell Soumei one thing and he plans on running with it. "And it don't sit here like you haven't been with anyone. Remember Samantha?" Raphael looked towards Austin. "If you wish to get stronger, training will push you but so far. Breaking your limit will be something to consider but if done incorrectly you'll die....The best thing will too be is simply. Master the arc of the magic, trace it's roots and study the different branches. Only then could you truly master your magic and get stronger." Raphael done a lot of reading and did a lot of tracing back to his roots for his magic. It was something his father taught him to do, and pushed him to do.

"Whatever you do Austin you'll do fine" Soumei turn around he walk off leaving Austin and his training in the forest

Austin was lost for a minute he had no idea what in the name of everything magic had just happen Soumei gave him advice then the other two gave him advice and t didn't match "I don't understand"
