Kage broke things down to the two new members including the fact that they shouldn't use their real names in an introduction. Even so when he asked them to introduce themselves they started with their real names.
"My name is Jason Dawn but I'll go by Nightsky." The boy said.
"My name is Yoruichi Shihouin but I'll go by Sienna." The girl said.
None of them had witnessed what Kage had done but had seen Kage's power so they decided to play along so he doesn't kill them.
"Hi you two, am Alsvid but I go by Monarch." Alsvid said with a smile.
Kage let them converse for a while. The girl was a little awkward in the conversation as she hadn't spoken to another person who didn't want to kill her and now she had three one of which she had tried to kill. The conversation then shifted towards their apparitions. They all introduced their apparitions to each other and showcased one skill to each other. Yoruichi fired a blob of black smoke into the trees, Jason made a small blood beam the size of a pebble strike the ground in front of them and Alsvid couldn't show them anything.
"Sorry guys but I only have one skill and it's too destructive to show you." Alsvid said.
"It doesn't have to be. Am going to teach you the format for creating skills. Close your eyes, let your essence loose, think of a shape you are comfortable with and try to shape your essence into that shape." Kage said.
It took a while but eventually, multiple black orbs started floating around Alsvid. He opened his eyes and stretched his right arm forward as the orbs started flying out in droves at the direction his arm was pointed at.
"Good, now try to see if you can change their direction with moving your body." Kage said.
Alsvid tried but when he did, all the orbs scattered in multiple random different directions and he stopped producing more.
"So you can't, try creating one orb at a time and see how many you can control." Kage said.
Alsvid tried it. He created one orb and it stayed floating by his side. He created a second orb and both of them started flying in the direction he was looking at. He quickly tried and managed to change their direction without moving but he couldn't stop them from moving and he felt a little strain as if something was tugging at his brain. He created a third and lost control of all the orbs.
"I see, you can only control two and even that isn't perfect. What about you two. Try it." Kage said.
"Umm sir, I already have a skill similar to that." Jason said.
A total of ten blood disks appeared and started floating around him comfortably. He sent them to do a few things. Three made a formation where two surrounded the last just about his head while the other seven formed a triangle. One in front, three behind and another three behind. They flew around for a while whilst the one on his head remained stationary.
"Good work Nightsky. What about you Sienna?" Kage asked.
"I, d-don't h-have a skill l-like that." She said nervously.
"Well, follow the steps I gave you and you will gain it. Let's see how many you can control." Kage replied.
Yoruichi closed her eyes and followed Kage's steps. She took a little longer than Alsvid but when she opened her eyes, ten blobs of black smoke flew in a straight line in front of her. As they moved they left a trail behind. The trail was part of the smoke itself as they didn't get far before disappearing. The blobs also moved quite slowly.
"I see, your long range attacks waste a lot of your essence to be effective. You have to work a lot more than the rest, learn to control the smoke well so it doesn't trail off and disappear." Kage said.
"I want you all to create a number of projectiles you are comfortable with, were going to play a little game. I'll create a shadow field that lessens the damage of your attacks. Monarch, Sienna, try your very best to hit Nightsky with your projectiles. Nightsky, I know it will be very easy for you to hit then so I have an assignment for you. Don't get hit and try to hit all the projectiles they fire at you. This will teach all of you better control." Kage said.
And thus they started playing. In the beginning it was easy for Jason to strike down all the projectiles. Yoruichi always fired in a straight line as she lacked control so he would strike her's down with ease and then deal with the two that Alsvid controlled. The first few rounds went on like that until a few hours later their control improved a little. Yoruichi had learned how to change the direction of her blobs once before they disappeared. She insisted on using all ten that she could create for the training. Alsvid had also learnt a new trick. If he controlled his projectiles long enough he was able to fuse them to create a bigger version and then create a third on before splitting the first one up. It was a very long and tiring process. After managing to do it for the second time Jason started stopping the fusions by interrupting their course and trajectory which would lead to Alsvid loosing control every time.
This specific training continued for a full week. By that time, Yoruichi had doubled the lifespan of her projectiles. Instead of lasting five seconds, they could now go for ten. She could now also make them move horizontally in an direction she wanted while they were out creating the perfect order of movement to confuse Jason. Alsvid had perfected his new technique which he called nuclear process due to its fusion and separation. He could now control three orbs comfortably using this process but he still couldn't create and control three orbs at once. If he tried they would become unstable and scatter meaning he needed to use that process which was why he perfected it. Jason had grown used to making split second decisions and had a quicker reaction time due to trying to dodge twelve and an occasional thirteen projectiles while also trying to destroy them with his own. They were all developing smoothly.
