Something weird happened this morning, something was happening right now. I was making my way to the Private! training area that grandma gave me or recommended for me and it was only half way there that I realised someone was following me. The black hair could only tell me that it was Arya, I wondered what exactly are her intentions.
I acted like I hadn't noticed anything.
When arriving I went to stand on the river, yep I can now walk on water isn't that amazing. Calestia created the ten frogs and twenty navy balls that fire energy beams , I know that there'll probably be more because destroying one makes two more appear. The navy balls started firing energy beams and I created my aqua shield that made their beams bounce back to them causing more of them to appear. I concentrated on creating six water blasts and I tried to fire them towards the jumping frogs. Just like yesterday my actions weren't rewarding at all.
I need to try something different, while sustaining my shield I controlled the water in the river to try and chase after the frogs but that didn't work. Do I have to kill them though , maybe I only have to capture them or just 'protect' them from running away. I can expand my aqua shield and also shrink it so what's stopping me to create another for someone or something else plus these frogs are jumping on water which is to my advantage. I know I won't always have opponents that'll just be standing in or on water but if I learn it here I can maybe adapt to shooting aqua shields. Calestia you are a genius.
One frog was jumping about tauntingly, I tried connecting to the water that the frog was jumping on. I imagined the frog to be myself and created an aqua shield for it and Voila! I was able to do it and because it was smaller than mine it didn't cost a lot of mana the problem that I had to fix is forgetting the mentality of thinking that the aqua shield only has to protect me.
After an hour I was able to do it and have all the frogs in aqua shields making Calestia mutter " about time" and i can get it cause I've been doing this for more than one month without getting it. How I wasn't discouraged? I don't know. Now it's time for me to try my storage magic power, I stepped off the river and picked a small leaf that was on the ground.
A.N-(Nothing sophisticated or whatever, I'm just gonna make it quick so we can move forward)
I closed my eyes and imagined the leaf disappear safely in some magical bag or room and after just a few seconds I didn't feel it's weight on my hand. When I opened my eyes there was no leaf on my hand making me think that it worked but I had to test it out. I closed my eyes again and imagined it reappear on my hand , when I felt the leaf return on my hand I felt a sense of relief. I bet the more I practice it there more the storage will expand and grow. So I spent about half an hour storing rocks, wood ,even water and I could feel that my storage had grown from what it was when I started.
"Can you tell your human friend to come out already" said Calestia making me remember that Arya had followed us here. I had totally forgotten about that. " You can come out Arya , you don't want to keep Calestia waiting" as soon as I mentioned Calestia she sprung out from where she was hiding. " You knew?" Asked Arya causing me to chuckle " yes I knew all along, even if I didn't did you think you could hide your presence from a spirit beast?" . " I- i just wanted to..." , " To what! If I were those inferior beasts I'd have chewed your head off your body. You dare disrespect mehh!" Said Calestia in a calm voice but it did not hide the power in it and it made Arya get to her knees. " Im sorry oh great spirit beast, I meant no disrespect. I was just curious how Claudia was advancing so fast and I who started before she even began this path of being a mage is still stuck in level 1 but now I see and so I ask that you train me as well" said Arya causing me to take a mental note of never doing what she is doing to Calestia. 'Oh great spirit beast?' no way
"No"
Me"...!"
Arya"...!"
"Go home" said Calestia causing Arya to start crying " I will do anything-". " The problem is you think that I am the reason that Claudia is advancing fast. Which is not true. When everyone at her ceremony, family and even you thought there was no way she could ever dream of being a human mage she alone figured it out by herself. I never told her that she can control her magic , she discovered that on her own I never told her to not only stick on summoning elemental magic but also connect to her natural elements so that they'd acknowledge her enough for her to control them. She did that on her own. I never taught her how to attack and protect herself using her magic like you moonra based humans who have it easy cause you only learn spells that are already ready for you. I only helped her reach where she could've also reached on her own but the problem was that it would've be in a later time. So everything she is now it's because of her hardwork and dedication leading her to finally gain back the confidence she has lost because of not having a moonra. I will not allow her to waste her time helping a pathetic jealous intitled human like you!"
"...!"
Im speechless and also scared at the same time, is this really Calestia. He jumped to stand with his back faced against me, his eyes set on Arya who looked like she had already pissed her pants. " I will protect Calestia from the likes of you cause I can see through every human I meet, Leave now before I chose for a second to act like those inferior beasts and rip off that head of yours from your body" , Arya scrambled off her feat and ran , ran while crying and I wondered if it's okay for a beast to scare a child like that, we're still ten for crying outloud. Whatever it was with Claudia he webt over the top with it.
Later that day I begged Zoe to buy me a weapon that'll help me when carving out mana stones, she was already going to go and exchange some mana stones. Because of their difference in Strength Arya and Zoe now hunt seperate and Zoe is very focused in training and hunting causing her to have no time for Arya. I kept thinking about what Calestia said about Arya and I couldn't accept it , he was just being his dramatic self. All I'm going to focus on is wait for Zara while I dedicate tomorrow to only absorbing mana.
Do you guys think Calestia was being dramatic or is he right and is just predicting the future?
