Chapter 6 - Training with Mother

Days after the cell phone fell from the sky, Abraão trained in Mahina's hut in the lunar mountains. The 1000 moons hovered like a carpet of broken jewels, some blinking in irregular rhythms, as if whispering secrets about past cracks. The cold air carried the scent of purple mist and flowers that only bloomed at night, petals shining like fallen lunar fragments.

Mahina, with her Eternal Guardian sword in hand, watched Abraham spin the old blade. "Son, the Viglia Technique is slow because it prioritizes protection. Create a barrier that absorbs the blow... feel the echo of lunar energy flowing through the blade." She demonstrated: she spun the sword slowly, and the air around her solidified like invisible glass, redirecting a stone that Abraham threw back at himself.

Abraão tried, sweat dripping down his silvery face (his hair subtly changing with the latent powers). "Mom... it's hard. My old sword doesn't respond like yours." Internal reflections tormented him: "Grandma Elara taught me patience with the nets... Elias laughed when I made mistakes. Now, only pain remains.

Mahina sat beside him, her green eyes reflecting the blue moons. "Remember Sasuke? He used a cursed sword that devoured everything... fast, but soulless. My technique is 'worse' for fools who want to kill quickly, but the best for those who guard what they love. Create cuts that guard the space, don't just attack."

His cell phone vibrated in his pocket. Surprised, Abraão picked up his cell phone and on the screen appeared: New video: "Mission: Train your mentor's technique for 4 hours and post a video of her praising you. #Vigil." Reward: 'Barrier' – your sword now creates echoing barriers that redirect enemy cuts."

Abraão trained exhaustively, moons changing phases in the sky. He trained diligently, trained for 4 hours, and then he made the video "My son... you are becoming invincible." He posted it.

Reward: The old sword gained a subtle glow — now, cuts created defensive echoes, like a barrier that "echoed" attacks back.
