"Excafol, I want to keep him."
"Ah? What? Was it not a given already?"
"Just wanted to be sure."
"You do as you want. But you should give him a name. the faster, the better."
"Okay, I will. Also, please I want to learn about elemental Angas. At least the basics. Can you give me a lecture tomorrow?"
"I wasn't planning to right now, but, hm…" Excafol is hesitant, why? Because I can't use physical Angas scripts?
"You have learned to create your own script, right?" He asks me out of nowhere. Why is he asking? Did he see what I did during my fight earlier?
"Why do you ask?"
"Because you used a script earlier, obviously." So he saw me earlier, but that can't be the only reason.
I inject Angas into my eyes, and I see that the Excafol has a red halo. Fire attribute then, I see some lines floating above his head. When I focus on them, I hear Excafol thoughts clearly. Reading minds is really useful.
'The book did say that you must create your language and your own scripts, but this is too fast. It took me all my life to create the crescent apocalypse and I even manage to use it thanks to that book. But he can already do it. That's too fast.'
Excafol is surprised that I have created my own scripts after one night. Is he really that important?
"I did. Or at least, I am trying."
"So that was a script after all." Selene also talks. So they were both surprised.
"Okay, I will teach you what I can. maybe you will even be able to use the crescent apocalypse better than me." Excafol stands up and goes into the bedroom, followed by Selene. Another night where I will be alone. No, not anymore, he is here after all. The puppy is sleeping soundly, he must have been really tired.
***
The next day, the puppy wakes me up by licking my face, when I wake up, there is a smell of poop in the air. The puppy must have taken a dump during the night. there is a small pile of shit on the cloth where he was sleeping. I take it and bring it outside. After throwing the shit, I take some water and wash the cloth. I don't think Excafol would be happy if I throw it away.
After cleaning it, I go for my morning run and the puppy follows me. it is still a bit dark outside. He follows me happily or at least tries to. Since he is not really fast, I slow down to make sure he won't get tired easily. After two hours, we go back to the house and his tongue is outside, he is breathing heavily. I take some water and pour it in my hand, he drinks it hastily. I also pour some on him but he shakes it off, splashing me.
"Oh, you are enjoying yourself already." Selene is leaning against the door of the house. I am enjoying myself? Really? "You have quite the smile there." She adds while I was busy thinking why she said that.
I am smiling that much? I didn't know. Excafol comes out also, he passes by Selene who was leaning against the door, and kisses her on the cheek. She starts blushing like crazy and re-enters the house in a hurry. I think I understand what is going on now.
"Let's start then."
"You have been having sex all this time, right?" Excafol doesn't even flinch when I ask, too bad. I was hoping for another reaction.
"She is still my wife, you know. Anyway, you have asked about the elemental attributes of Angas yesterday. As you already know, there are seven elements that we can use: light, fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, and darkness. If you consider only the fighting aspect, aside from light and darkness, all the other elements can only be used to attack. You cannot directly protect yourself with them." Really? There are no protection scripts for those?
"Wait, my wet nurse, Tatiana Flolerl, she used some weird techniques she called ten thousand steps of lightning or something. And her body got clad in lightning. Is it not a protection script?"
"No, it is not, if you attack her, she will still be hurt. Also, that script is a variant she has created, just like my crescent apocalypse. Most people who can use even one elemental attributes tend to create a unique script that is their own. It takes longer to learn how to use them than normal script but it provides a change which is quite welcome to a fight."
Excafol now takes a deep breath, he must be about to say something important:
"For the five elements I just listed, there are two basic types of attack: single-targeted attack called ball and area of effect attack called storm."
Saying so, Excafol stretches out his hand, I first see a small red dot which goes and hit a tree, igniting it a bit, then, I see another one coming, but this one engulfs the tree and burns it, only for a small time though. It's still made the puppy jump.
"Basically, all the others will have the same kind of effects. The single attack for light ,however, is called ray, the area of effect is glory. Light Angas can also be used for protection, the basic script is wall but there is an advanced version called dome. For healing, there are three classes of healing scripts: low level, medium, and high level. They are mostly based on light Angas ,but as it normally requires a very good connection to the goddess, only the higher members of the church can perform medium or high-level scripts. Ah right, there is a divine level that can be used by chosen ones like the saintess and the heroes. Not that I have ever seen it."
"Gramps, when you came to save me, you were flying. Even when we trained here, you also do that. How?"
"That's my creation. But it's not based on attacking scripts, I told you that most people tend to create a unique script. It can also be done for other purposes than fighting. I have personally created four scripts of my own. And since you can use all elements, you must create at least six of them. Now, let's start your training."
