Chapter 22 - Training with Scathach

(a/n: I have tried out writing in first person..... because I wanted to and frankly speaking constantly writing names already has me bored but writing Krishna so many times is just tedious soooo we are trying this now!!)

"You both wanted to fight me but were not strong enough for a satisfying fight were you so we should change that"

"Yes"

Said Victor while I smiled Brightly and Noded once.

"Alright then, Pepper!"

Yesh!!" we heard an awkward voice answering.

Suddenly, a girl with long red hair, a curvy body, and breasts that seem to rival Scathach appeared, she was just wearing a towel around her body.

"I've arrived, Mother!" She put a hand to her head like a soldier.

"Good." She looked at them, and for a moment, she seemed to study their reaction. But, seeing them not reacting much, she seemed pleased with something.

"She is my youngest adopted daughter, as you may have heard, her name is Pepper."

"Nice to meet you!" She flashed a goofy grin on her face

Victor nodded and I replied with a smile.

"Your initial training is simple; you must identify and learn to use your powers-"

Before she can finish, Victor opens his hand, and suddenly, a fireball appears.

"Oh...?" She displayed a curious smile.

"Huh?" Siena exclaimed in surprise.

"Fue?" Pepper looked, surprised.

The fire disappeared, and soon lightning began to crackle in his hand, then the lightning disappeared, and soon a block of ice appeared in my hand.

"Even my mother's powers..." Siena said, looking at Victor.

"Ruby married someone interesting,"

I heard someone's voice; I looked to Siena's side and saw Lacus smiling with a curious look.

Then Victor pointed his hand in a direction that had no one and said

"All blood belongs to me."

I elbow his ribs and look at him.

"Could you not try dangerous things with family around... we are just a few moments away from the beginning of training do it then."

Victor looks at me and finally gives up.

Scathach walks up to pepper and looks at us.

"Victor you Train the basics with Pepper, she may be an air-head, but she's strong."

"I will," Victor nodded and he walked over to the woman and picked her up like a sack of potatoes.

"Kyaa!?" She yelled in a thin voice, "What are you doing!?"

"You have to train me, right? I'm kidnapping you."

"Great... He has the same attitude as my mom..." Siena said

"Oi don't badmouth my brother that's just how he is." I said

"Huh...?" Before she can say anything, Victor ran to an open spot that he saw with his eyes.

When Victor left, Siena asked her mother:

"Is that all right...?"

"Yeah that's alright he would never do anything bad to pepper. If he did you can have my head, you have my word"

Scathach smiles and looks at me as she sits down and crosses her legs seductively.

"You seem to have high trust in Victor"

"My trust in him is as immeasurable as my love for my family."

"hahahahaha you are a very different human than most but I like you."

Siena and Lacus are stunned after seeing their mother laughing and talking to a man without any anger.

"Ok enough talking, Siena you will take Krishna to train him to control his mana and do this in the basement. We cannot risk him getting discovered yet."

"Ok Mothe-"

"OK then I will be taking this one, I hope you will train me too"

"In time for now I have something to do"

"YOU CATTLE PUT ME DOWN!!"

Krishna puts two stripes of mana on her mouth to shut her up and runs towards the stairs he saw in the hallway.

"You look happy, Mom…" Lacus commented.

"Happy...?" Scathach spoke, confused, then she put her hand to her face.

"…Maybe…Maybe I am." Her smile changed to a seductive smile. "I have something to do; I'll see you guys later."

Scathach soon disappears.

***************

I took the stair down but could not find the basement so I had to remove the mana stripes from Siena's mouth"

"HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!"

I release my pressure and Siena goes silent.

"Look Scathach asked you to train me. Do you wish to go against her wish?"

"no"

"Then I will put you down now and you can help me find the basement"

"Ok"

I stop releasing my pressure and put her on the ground.

"Alright then lead the way."

After 5 min of walking, we reach an iron door that was opened by a secret panel in the wall. We entered and there was a large patch of land made of entirely dirt.

"This is where we will be training"

"Before we begin could you tell me about the Vampire world."

Siena gives an annoyed look but her impression of Krishna had gotten better because he was powerful and his personality was very similar to Scathach's

"The Vampire world is a monarchy with the Vampire King at the top then there are 4 counts under him then there are various noble vampires then their subserving families and then there are slaves who were cattle........" Siena explains but looks at Krishna to see his reaction.

"Oh it's fine I don't really care since almost all humans have jumped at the chance to give up their humanity then I too don't care for them and either way your standing in my mind is way higher than some random human, you are family too"

"oh.... ahem so where was I .... yes the four counts out of them You have met 3 of the heirs that being Ruby, Sasha and Violet from the Scarlett, Fulger and Snow clans respectively. The Fulger and the Snow clan have only 1 heir but the Scarlet Clan has 4 including Ruby."

"That would be you, Lacus, Pepper and Ruby right?"

"Yes but enough chitchat let's begin your training"

"Ok"

Siena taught Krishna various techniques for finer control of her power which Krishna applied to his control of mana.

"You learn fast and I still can not get used to the fact that you can manipulate mana as I do with my powers."

"It's simple since from the day I was born just like you had your ice power I had mana."

Through those techniques and practice methods, his control over mana got even better.

'I think I can do that now!!'

I start by gathering the mana in a compact ball form and then start spinning the mana clockwise.

"Krishna, what are you doing?"

"shush, Just wait a minute let me concentrate"

Then I carefully start to move the mana in anti-clockwise.

"Ok this is the first step now to increase the power."

I try to condense more mana into the ball.

"SHIT!" Krishna pushes Siena away as the ball bursts and he is flung to the other side of the room.

BOOOOM

that blast shakes the whole castle.

Victor, Kaguya and the two sisters look toward the castle.

"Did I just dream it or the whole castle just shook as if an earthquake came?" Lacus said.

"No But I think that was Krishna training and not an Earthquake" Victor laughed and went back to his own training.

Lacus and Pepper kept looking toward their castle

'He is definitely not a normal human' x2

Scathach who was quite far away felt vibrations in the ground coming from the direction of her home.

'fufufufu It will be fun training them'

***************

When I came to I was lodged into the wall with my right arm in a very bad state..... it was healing slowly much more slowly than what my mana is capable of doing.

'Ah this must be due to the mana I put into the ball... need to train more to control the power properly.'

Siena walks up to him and just stares at him sitting down with a broken arm.

"You are not a Vampire who can just regenerate lost limbs and you have to tell me first before trying stupid things like these so that I can move away.... What even was that."

"Yeah yeah... you watch anime?"

"What does that have to do with anything"

"Well what I just used is called a Rasengan originated from a certain anime and since you don't watch them ......wait do you even know what anime is"

"Unfortunately yes my sisters watch anime quite frequently so I know what it is I just never bothered to watch it."

"I can heal lost limbs you know"

Siena raises an Eyebrow and sits next to Krishna.

"Do explain"

"I can control mana........ I don't know any healing spells or circles yet so to heal I use raw mana to generate the limb back. It is most probably a waste of mana but it is the only way I know right now and I have enough mana to waste for years and still have a lot of it left."

"You are gonna be a nice surprise for those greedy witches if you are able to become strong enough."

"hahahahaha yeah I have a bone to pick with them about the human male's inability to use mana. why is that and do they have a hand in it."

"well gotta keep trying to get this technique right..... this time stand back these kinds of blasts will keep happening."

"I will stay here to keep watch..."

Krishna smiled and went back to training. after more than a dozen hours or so victor spread his divine sense throughout the castle and then at least 50 km around it.

"Hmmmm It seems Scathach is back and Victor's wives are back... its never not fun around here."

"How do you know all this."

"Can you not feel my divine sense standing soo close to me?? you are weak"

"Hey! I am not weak I just never heard about divine sense before what is it???"

"It's like spreading my mana thinly around the surroundings to gather info."

"That's useful"

"Yes, it is now let's go everyone is moving toward Victor's training ground and I have gotten hold of this technique so this should be enough for now."

Siena nods and they move toward Victor's location.
