Chapter 19 - Start of Determination

As the last article of clothing hit the ground, the glow that was coming from Zarue dissipated as they exhaled another breath and opened their eyes, a small smile forming on their lips as they looked down at the pile of clothes that had been successfully created. What a rush!

"Wow, creation is such an amazing feeling! If it was not so taxing, I would want to create everyday and sell trinkets!" Zarue said with a soft chuckle while looking at Relrem and Regen. "Thank you for watching over me, I greatly enjoyed doing that." Zarue beamed finishing their sentence.

Relrem yipped happily and gave a small lick on their cheek as their tail wagged. A large smile was plastered on Regen's face as she walked up to Zarue and hugged Zarue.

"That was so cool, Zarue!" Regen said as she looked at the clothes and recognized a certain strand of fabric. "Ahem, it is not my place to pick up, but as your mom, my interest is piqued. With the way your clothes are, does that mean you have made your decision?" Regen asked in a soft nurturing tone.

Nodding, Zarue smiled, "I think so, while deciding on what I was creating I ended up meditating on my heart and how I felt, and as I am right now, I have found my answer, and happy with myself." Zarue beamed up at their mom.

"That is great to hear Zarue! I am so happy for you!" Regen pulled Zarue into a big embrace and lifted them into the air. Before gently placing them back down. "Does that mean you will be leaving soon then?"

"I was having to leave soon anyway mom. It just means that...I feel more sure of myself and confident of how I am as a person. I am just happy that at the 'Academy', rooms are not done in any certain order. Well except by wealth, and family status." Zarue smiled and shrugged.

"Are you sure you do not want us to try and do a major sell of stuff at home to raise enough to where you will get a nice room Zarue?" Regen asked in concern.

"Nah mom, I am not worried about it. I will make my wealth, I have great strength. Now I wish to make my own legend, even if I cause a power upheaval, I will make the world a better place. Be it charm, power, or money. The world is in for a shock once I hit those doors." Zarue said with a straight face, a glint of sheer determination in their eyes as a gust of wind blew through, as if it was acknowledging Zarue's will.

"Ahaha! Yes indeed, just do not cause too much trouble, and keep yourself in check please. Well, at least until you feel like there is no need to. That way you do not bring down the house right off the bat at day one. Actually, losing a fight or two might help as well, though you may not have a choice in that matter. How is your physical training without Ki Filtering?" Regen stated and asked.

"If I may speak up mom. Zarue's physical condition is as good as can be. The training has plateaued for them, and they continue to work at it and find ways to push themselves to be better." Relrem interjected.

"Rel' speaks the truth, mom. Though I have found a way to keep training myself just now!" Zarue nodded and beamed as they finished what they said.

"Oh? What inspiration did you have?" Regen said with a small smile while bemused. Holy crap, this kid has plateaued with that training?! It took me years to hit a point where it was just up keep, even then, I do not have to do much for my upkeep.

"Well, its my clothes. From now on until I reach adulthood, my clothes have an enchantment on them that will physically push my body to its limits at all times of the day, even while sleeping! Though it will make for interesting times." Zarue said while scratching the back of their head.

"So your new clothes will adapt to your size and increase in weight as well so you are always being physically pushed? Well now! How much weight do you think they weigh right now?" Regen asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Well, I do not have any way of knowing my actual weight right now, but I think it will be heavier than ten of me, which is more weight than I could carry at home due to size limitations and area to work with." Zarue answered.

Whistling in surprise, Regen nodded her head. "Well then! Are you aiming to give me a run for my money in terms of strength! My goodness! I already know your reading has put your smarts ahead of Vetiol's to a point because of your way of understanding Ki and utilizing it, is much more complex yet easy to retain knowledge."

Nodding slowly, Zarue continued, "I have also realized that Rel' is much stronger than me in terms of muscle strength. Which is really awesome, so he will be able to help still in travel if I require assistance. So we should be alright in terms of if we need to run. Isn't that right Rel'?" Zarue finished with a smile while petting Relrem.

"Yes Young Master, though, with your families trait stubbornness being a part of you as well, you will more than likely mess up the foe before even thinking about walking away!" Relrem yipped in laughter.

"Hey!" Exclaimed, Zarue and Regen, as they joined in on the laughter.

"Let me go pick up my clothes and walk with them in hand as we head home. That way I can start training now." Zarue said as they walked over and picked up the clothes. Letting out a soft grunt as they stood up. "Guess it is time to push and make way towards the 'Academy', at the capital starting tomorrow."

Hey there reader! Thanks for reading this latest chapter! I would appreciate it if you could leave a review on this chapter or on the novel page. Maybe even a power stone if you so choose! These things will help me know how the audience (you) are enjoying my writing and where I need to improve!

Also a heads up! Still deciding on when to create a discord server so it would be easier to talk to me with ideas or writing issues that you may see that I do not!
