Qu was instantly hit with a howling wind, her hair flew around in all directions, ash and dust lifted from the ground.
Qu was at the centre of a storm, the electricity in the air and wind around her formed into a massive tornado with lighting sparking out randomly.
The eye of the storm slowly grew larger and larger and in the centre was Qu, her hair flattened out again but all around her was chaos.
And then it was gone, it was significantly shorter than all the other attunements she has gone through.
----
"You have successfully been attuned to the air element…
It has been set at the common level with 0% completion"
----
Qu was so glad it was all over, she had been through 2 attunments and had been sitting in the centre of a crater for hours, but then finally she could leave.
She chose to give herself the rest of the day off, and would help her student tomorrow, so for now she headed back into the forest to test out her new abilities.
She made sure to put her clothes back on from inside her inventory, and soon reached the edge of the forest without much trouble.
Qu then headed inside of the forest and began to properly test out her new forms and the abilities that came with them.
The first ability she wanted to test out was her 'relative strength' that she got from the ant, seeing that she didn't really understand what it meant.
----
"Are you kidding me? You really selected a creature for its ability but didn't even bother to check what it was.
Honestly, you really do surprise me sometimes…
Anyway, the 'relative strength' ability gives you the strength multiplier on the ant to every other creature you own.
So, in short, all your forms are much stronger, the bigger and stronger the form in the first place the stronger the multiplier and as such they get even stronger.
Now the ability isn't perfect yet, it isn't up to the standards of the ant, its about a 2x multiplier for each creature, but the more creatures you create/get that own that ability the higher the multiplier with stack."
----
It turned out despite her just selecting the ant at random it actually held a really powerful ability, so to test out her strength she punched a tree.
Qu pulled back her arm and activated her elemental armour ability to try and stop her hand from being damaged too much from punching the tree. And then she struck the tree as hard as she could, in doing so she took 5 damage, but the tree was not in a very good state.
The bark she struck with her fist had been completely stripped away and the wood where her fist impacted was warped and had a fist imprint embedded within it. On top of that it also had a network of cracks across the bark around the impact site.
Qu could only imagine the damage she could deal when adrenaline was pumping through her mid-way in a fight.
She then chose to test out an ability she had been neglecting a bit, her magical orders ability, the ability to give her magic tasks to carry out.
She first created a fireball, and then gave it the task following her. Upon doing so the fireball floated up above her head and slowly circled it.
Qu then wanted to test out a theory, she created another fireball and gave it the same task, and then another and then she tried to do it with another.
----
"you are unable to sustain more then 3 spells with magical orders at this moment in time.
Either through achieving a higher base rank or in magic will you be able to sustain more"
----
Seeing that she had hit her limit, she then wanted to play around with the fireballs and see how they act.
Whenever Qu moved the fireballs would remain spinning around her head and follow her every movement.
Qu then tried to think of a practical use of having fireballs around her head other than a demonstration, and then an idea struck her.
She reached up and grabbed a fireball with her own hand, seeing that she could generate fire on her body, it made sense that she would also be able to hold her spells.
Upon grabbing the fireball she then threw the fireball at the tree she had punched before, and to her surprise the fireball didn't attempt to come back to her, but rather it hit the tree like any other fireball.
She then gave her other 2 fireballs orders to hit the tree, in which case they darted away from her head and hit directly against the tree.
It seemed for the time being it would allow her to create certain spells for use later, which would then reduce the time it takes for her to attack.
With her testing out a few abilities she then moved onto her air magic; the first thing she did was see how it worked.
It seemed to her that it worked in the same way she manipulated fire; she was able to almost drag air around her to produce wind. But it was still no where near to being able to cause any type of damage or really any usefulness to her yet.
But then a new idea struck her, if magical orders worked on fire, why not air as well?
And so that exactly what she tried to do, but sadly with her not really being able to get a proper spell produced she could order anything to do anything.
Every time she tried to order it, the gust of wind she produced had simply dissipated by then.
So instead she chose to do the next best thing, she sat down on the floor and just tried to manipulate as much air around
