Chapter 15 - Aven's control

The training room is around 8 meters wide and 12 meters long, surrounded by reinforced white walls and a grey floor composed by some strange kind of metal.

In the corner of the room there is a reinforced grey automatic door composed of the same material that compose the floor.

After entering in the training room assigned to them, Skaarl spoke with an existed tone.

"Here we are, show me what you got! "

Aven nodded before taking a deep breath and trying to control the death energy around him.

'This is the first time that I try to control the death energy, but I am confident in my control...'

Aven extended his hand in front of him, and opened it with the back of his hand toward the floor.

The death energy around them trembled as answering his call and slowly gathering toward the palm of his hand.

'Well, that was easy, for now this should be enough, I only need to…'

When he tried to stop the dark energy from gathering… The palm of his hand became something like a black hole, the quantity of death energy moving toward his hand increase, and the speed increased as well!

Skaarl looked at the black hole in front of him with his eyes shining in excitement.

"Uhh! Brother, you can already control so much death ener…"

He stopped when he noticed Aven's panicked expression.

"... Or maybe not… this thing will explode if we don't stop it!"

Skaarl extended his hand in order to control the death energy and stopped the black hole, however, the quantity of death energy was the same of his Tier 3 spells.

He slowly destroyed the spell while thinking about what just happened.

'He isn't able to control a Tier 3 spell, but he is already able to use so much death energy, if he train his control, I'm sure he will become very powerful, maybe he will… No, that is impossible.'

He continued to destroy the spell while shaking his head.

What he didn't noticed is that the spell that Aven tried to cast was a Tier 2!

After destroying the spell…

Skaarl talked with his excited tone as if nothing happened.

"Uh, you only need to increase your control and you will surely become a proper necromancer!"

He thought for a second before asking a question.

"What death element-based spells did you get from the system?"

Aven answered with a frown while thinking.

'Why is he asking? Are necromancer supposed to get different spells?'

[ Yes, for example, usually the necromancers need to build the Necro library within their own domain]

"Death energy extraction and summon undead, why?"

Skaarl talked again with a shocked tone.

"What?! And the others?!"

Aven though-asked the system.

'System? What is he talking about?'

[ Other users obtain some spells for the death element, the system hope that the user will create his own personal spells in order to obtain a better efficiency for each of his spell]

Aven answered while shaking his head after hearing the mechanical voice.

"The system said that he want me create my own personal spells…"

Skaarl was surprised this.

"This is… Interesting…well, you should work on improve your control for now, if you lose control again, fire the spell on a wall or on the floor, the death energy will be absorbed without doing any damage.

I will return to the reception to complete your ID, see you later "

After Skaarl left the room…

'Okay, I should start with Tier 1…'

He extended his hand again, this time he gathered less death but still failed to control it, he fired it toward the wall before something dangerous could happen.

'Damn, I really can't control it… Hey system, how should I train myself in order to control it?'

[ The system advise the user to move as less death energy as user can around himself and slowly increase the amount of death energy, when user lose control, user should start again and stop where he lost control the previous time.

User should continue to move the death energy around himself until user is able to increase the amount.]

Understanding flashed through Aven's eyes.

'So that is it… Understood, I will follow your advice'

Aven practiced for a whole hour before being interrupted by Skaarl.

"Brother, your ID is ready!"

He passed a card with Aven's picture and his informations.

{ Slayer : Aven Blackwolf - Path : Tier 3 Necromancer - Affiliation : None }

"Tier 3? I can't even control a tier 2 spell, you know?"

"Don't worry, as long as you train enough, I am sure you will be able to do it in the future, besides, you have more benefits as a tier 3 with a special path, you know?

Will you live here at the slayers' corporation? The food is included, all of this will be free of charge! "

Aven was taken aback from Skaarl's enthusiasm.

"Thanks, I will need to talk with someone before accepting…"

"I see…Call me if you need help!"

He said while sharing contacts between our SHB.

( A.N.: You can think of it as a holographic smartphone attached to the left arm. )

He left soon after. Aven continued his training losing trace of the time.

Some hours later…

'Hey system, What time is it?'

[ It's 7:39 p.m. ]

'What the hell… So that is why I am so hungry…I need to return home, I promised Robert that we would have meet each other for dinner '

Aven left the slayers' association in a hurry, and thirty minutes later…

Robert welcomed him home at the door.

"You are back, What do you think about the association?"

Aven answered while showing his ID card.

"It's quite luxurious, filled with slayers and weird people."

Robert replied with a shocked tone while walking toward the kitchen.

"Tier 3 Necromancer?! What the hell is that?"

"It's a special path, they also gave me some benefits…"

"Yes, I know that, I'm talking about… Forget it, Aven is still Aven…" He stopped with a sigh before continuing.

"… what kind of benefits?"

"I can live there for free"

Robert was surprised, after all that place is quite luxurious, but calmed himself and continued talking soon after.

"Hm…I always knew that a day like this would have come"

"If you feel lonely, I can always stay here, you know?"

Robert chucked a bit before talking with a bitter smile, as if thinking about something else.

"Don't worry about me, I accepted that I would live alone after what happened during that 'Incident'..."

"I'm sorry for making you think about what happened again."

"Don't say it, both of us suffered the same fate, but you are still young, You still have a whole life to live"

Aven replied while chuckling.

"Don't say it like this, it sounds like you're going to die, besides, I am sure that there is a lady out there that is waiting for you… Somewhere…"

Robert laughed, both of them already knew that he doesn't know how to talk with women

"Sure, somewhere… Let's eat something, what about a pizza?"

Aven answered with a smile

"Sure"
