"Man I really wished I had picked some lower rank offensive talents, but these last few years made me realize a few things, and that was mana is very versatile."
Over the past five years, Kwatee delved into the depths of his magical abilities, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible within the realm of mana manipulation. As his mastery over mana control grew, Kwatee stumbled upon a revelation that thrilled him to the core – the ability to materialize techniques inspired by his favorite anime. Of course, after learning this he informed his brothers that they should try to develop their own techniques to use in combat.
Kwatee only did this research because he believed what his mother was teaching him and the stuff he read in books we very rudimentary in the way they were using their mana. He believed that there had to be more to it, and he was right, thanks to his Talent Loved By mana and Computer Mind he was able to create his mana techniques is what he called them. Kwatee continued to experiment and refine his anime-inspired techniques. His dedication and ingenuity not only added a unique flair to the family's magical legacy but also opened up new avenues for exploration within the world of mana manipulation.

***************************************************************
During their research of learning and using these techniques was they were able to learn a few things. One of the limits of creating a technique seemed to be based on a person's talent, but learning the technique was another thing. Two creating techniques based on their talents was a lot easier than if it wasn't. The final thing they learned was the exertion these techniques cost, using just one of them would put them in a weakened state and use up more than half of their mana reserve. They believe the exertion could be negated with more training and getting older bodies. but only time could tell.
Back to the fight where Aaliyah seemed to be in control of the situation and Ceteus was running around looking for her main body only to meet with a wind clone.
Aaliyah floats in the air away from the dust cloud observing Ceteus's actions waiting for him to tire himself out before she strikes.
"Why does he have so much Stamina, he's moving too fast for anyone our age, at first I thought he put an enhancement spell on himself, but to able to keep it up for this long..... he's defeated more than 20 of my wind clones, if this keeps up I will run out of mana. I'm going to end this right now."
Closing her eyes Aaliyah focused most of the remaining mana on her wind manipulation to reinforce it for what she was about to do. Ceteus obviously noticed her getting ready to do something so he braced himself for what was about to happen by standing still and getting into a defensive stance. Which was the worst thing he could do in this scenario.
Aaliyah, exuding an air of confidence, raised her hands gracefully, fingers dancing through the air as she summoned the winds to her command. The air around her responded, swirling and coalescing into a concentrated sphere of wind, taking on an ethereal, translucent form.
The sphere instantly trapped Ceteus inside. encircling him inside unable to move, making him feel like he was in the middle of a tornado.
The sphere under her control, Aaliyah flew towards the dust cloud then straight up once she was above over 500 feet above the ground. The wind sphere with Ceteus inside flew towards her. Ceteus was trying his best with the abilities he could display couldn't escape the wind currents keeping still.
With the sphere in front of her, Aaliyah entered the sphere with Ceteus inside.
smirking at Ceteus with the confidence believing this fight was over. "You ready to end this farce and show you I'm stronger than you."
"hmph, how about you let me go and see if you can keep talking."
Ignoring his words Aaliyah grabbed Ceteus by the neck with the sphere still wrapped around them preventing Ceteus from Moving.
"Let's see if feel that way when you wake up in the infirmary."
Flipping the sphere making them turn upside down, they started descending toward the ground at frightening speeds headfirst. Right before they hit the ground Aaliyah used the little amount of strength she had and threw Ceteus along with the sphere toward the ground to accelerate it even further.
BOOM
CRASH
Finally, the impact occurred—a resounding collision between Ceteus and the Mooncrest training ground. The force created a seismic shockwave, resonating through the landscape. A colossal crater manifested beneath Ceteus, a testament to the power of the wind-enhanced descent.
The sound was a thunderous roar, echoing across the training ground and beyond. The impact reverberated through the air, a sonic declaration of the extraordinary feat. Dust and debris billowed, creating a momentary veil that obscured the aftermath.
The onlookers, including Aaliyah herself, stood in stunned silence, witnessing the spectacle unfold. The loud crater and resounding sound became a defining moment in the ongoing clash of talents, a testament to the dynamic forces at play within the Mooncrest training ground
Aaliyah collapsed on the ground inside the crater completely out of mana and stamina breathing heavily.
" I did it, I didn't think I be this tired, but at the end of the day I knew I could win"
reflecting on her victory Aaliyah lay on the ground with a huge smile on her face her eyes closed on her victory, with her chest coming up and down trying to catch her breath.
Step step step step step step
Thinking it was Seraphina coming to either scold her or congratulate her on what she did. Aaliyah raises her head and open her eyes to look at the person walking towards her.
"Thanks for letting me go, I thought I never get out of that annoying sphere. your gonna have to teach me that trick one day."
Yet, as the dust settled and the atmosphere hung in suspense, a figure emerged from the epicenter of the crater. It was Ceteus, his silhouette bathed in the soft glow of residual magical energy. Strikingly, there was not a scratch on his body, and his gaze remained unwavering.
Aaliyah's triumphant expression faltered, replaced by a subtle uncertainty. She watched in disbelief as Ceteus, seemingly unaffected by the dramatic descent, walked towards her with an air of calm determination.
Ceteus approached, the Mooncrest training ground bearing witness to his unscathed form. His eyes, holding a depth of ancient knowledge, met Aaliyah's with a serene intensity. The silence lingered, broken only by the soft rustling of the wind, as he reached out a hand to help Aaliyah rise.
In that moment, realization dawned upon Aaliyah. The battle was not over, and victory was not as certain as she had believed. The wind, her formidable ally, had not secured the triumph she had envisioned. Ceteus, resilient and composed, stood before her, embodying the untapped depths of his own abilities.
"I guess you also can't keep fighting seems like you are out of energy. guess this is my win"
Ceteus said before walking away from Aaliyah who still had a stunned look on her face.
"Did I actually lose, how does he not have even a single scratch on him, that was my strongest move he should be buried at the bottom of a crater broken into pieces barely moving."
