The Tale Of Kitsuna-Chapter 60

Chapter 60:

“Yo, sorry I am late,” I said, appearing next to Kayda, who was looking at Amari.

“How did the first training go with your squad of crazy heads, right?” Kayda said, still setting up the table for our training.

“Brenda is unconscious because of exhaustion. Sirone was on the verge of passing out, probably sleeping right now, and Apricot was out of mana. In other words, it went well. They should realize how important someone’s base stats are after this.”

“How will that help them to become stronger?” Amari said from one of the chairs at the table.

“Have you ever seen Mothers stats?” I ask. Seeing her shake her head, I continued. “Well, her agility total is 12 000. Her level is 970, making her level stats around 9700. Now you might be wondering where does the rest of 2300 comes from. Simply, that’s her base stats. That’s is actually why I fear mother the most is because her base is so strong.” I explain, sitting down next to Amari.

“Isn’t because of her mastery of weapons?” Kayda said.

“That too, I was just explaining things to her, and she won’t be the only one feared for weapon mastery in the future,” I said, grinning.

“I see, but here, we don’t care about weapons but only magic,” Kayda said, making me depressed.

.....

“So mean,” I said in a depressed tone.

“Yesterday, I gave both of you a metal ball. I am certain you figure out what its real purpose is for you two.” Kayda said.

“Yes, because our mana starts out with an element. We need to learn how to make our mana non-elemental. Doing so will make it easier to use other elements when needed.” Amari explains with a smile.

“Wait, that is what it does?” I said, surprised.

“You didn’t realize it yesterday?’ Amari said.

“No, I only played with the thing for a couple of hours,” I said, taking the ball out of my storage.

“It doesn’t matter how long you tried it. How far did you get with it?’ Kayda ask. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

“I sucked at it. I only got like 14% of my mana through it,” I said, glaring at the ball.

“Wow, your not the worst out there, but your not very good at mana control,” Kayda said sarcastically.

“Tsk.”

“I fare better with 84% of my mana, hehe,” Amari said, surprising Kayda a bit.

“Well done, Amari. That is very good for one day with little explanation. You seem to be close to my ability.”

“How did you do on your first day,” I ask, a bit jealous Amari did so well.

“91% on my first day.”

“Damn, I really suck,” I said, looking back at the ball.

“Don’t worry, you still young. You have time,” Kayda said, smiling at me.

‘Time? I don’t know about that, though.’ I thought, keeping myself occupied with the metal ball.

“For the next stage, when you reach 100%, you will use this pole to infuse your mana into,” Kayda said, holding a 40 cm long and 5 cm thick metal pole with multiple 1 cm holes on it. Seeing our confused gazes, she added.? “You might be wondering why there are holes in it. The reason is simple.”

Infusing her mana at the tip of the pole, we saw small mana strings come out of the holes while they didn’t touch the pole itself.

“You need to control your mana in a way so it won’t touch the pole itself. If it does.” Kayda said, moving one of the strings to touch it, making all her mana disappear the instant it did.

“Huh!? What the hell? How am I supposed to do that?” I said, getting more depressed.

“When you can do that, you move on to the next one,” Kayda said, showing another pole that was the same length but thinner, and the holes on it were also smaller.

“This is impossible,” I said, depressed. looking at Amari, I said. “Good luck, Amari. It seems your going to outclass me very fast.”

“Your a monster when it comes to most things, so at least I have something going for me,” Amari said, grinning.

“Haha, I am not so certain about being good at most things,” I said sarcastically.

“Moving on. This pole is only the start with your pole exercise.” Kayda said, putting another 5 poles on the table that were the same length as the first one, but they got thinner.

“This is going to take me years,” I said, looking at the smallest pole that was 1 cm in diameter.

“Yes, it will take you some time to do this. It took me 3 years to get at the final pole.” Kayda said nonchalantly.

“Okay, so I would go for before I join the academy in 3 years. Un, I think that’s a reasonable goal for the future.” Amari said.

“That’s a good one, and you, Kitsuna.”

“I don’t know. I want to be done with weapon mastering in 2 years max, so, in other words, I need to get this mana control down in less time,” I said, surprising them.

“How are you going to do that when you struggled with the first exercise,” Kayda said with a raised eyebrow.

“I will figure something out,” I said, shrugging.

‘I want dimensional magic. I want to create my own domains.’ I thought, hyping myself up.

“Oh, and Amari try doing this also in 1 and a half year. You were brilliant in our past life so that you can figure something out.” I said, smiling at her.

“Tsk, fine, I will try my best, sis,” Amari said.

“Well, let’s get some other learning done.”

“Huh, more learning.” Amari and I said, confused.

“Yes, like what type of magic element is stronger than others,” Kayda said, making us look at her with a deadpan look.

“Fire magic is stronger against wind magic. Then wind magic is strongest against earth magic. Earth magic against water magic and water magic against fire magic.” I said.

“That’s pretty much it. But remember that’s, not all that imported. It mostly bounds down to who can use their element better.” Kayda said.

“That makes sense,” Amari said.

“I have a question?” I said with my hand in the air.

“Yes?”

“Yesterday, you made ice piler at my tree. How did you do that exactly? I understand you use wind and water magic, but how can you make a rare element? Albeit, weak as hell, but still, it was a rare element.” I said.

“That is something you can do with years of experience. You start with splitting your elements to their base. For example, if Amari splits her Storm magic up, she will get water, wind, and lightning magic, and they would be as strong as normal elements as her storm magic is a race-element that also includes her lighting.”

“HUH!? Her storm magic is a race-element? What race is it?” I said in surprise.

“You didn’t know?” Kayda said, confused.

“Kayda, I only know my sister for like 3 days. We haven’t really talked about each other’s powers, you know. And just by that small thing, I already know all three her elements are race elements, right.” I said, seeing Amari nod I shaking my head at Kayda. Sighing, I said. “Whatever at least is a small thing. I guess it’s only fair you know mine as well. All my elements are also race elements. All three of them just like your three.”

“To be honest, I actually thought they were already. Zagans’ shadow magic is also a race element and the twins also have race elements. So I presume all reincarnations magic was race elements.”

“Really and the twins also,” I said, receiving a nod from her. I just shook my head in response. “That’s actually shit. So all reincarnation elements will be a race-element. How troublesome.”

“That is hard to believe, and if it’s true, it will be a problem for the upcoming war,” Kayda said. Hearing her mention the upcoming war, I glared at her.

“Kayda, what do you mean about a war?” Amari asked, puzzled.

“You really are shit at keeping that mouth shut,” I said, glaring at her with some killing intent.

“Sorry, I didn’t know Stacy hasn’t talked with Amari about things like this,” Kayda said, looking down.

“Tsk, it’s too late to be sorry,” I said. Sighing, I looked at Amari and said. “Don’t ask her more about it, okay. I understand you want to know, but this is for your best. This is anyways something Dean and mom needs to talk with you about, not someone outside the family.”

“I understand they want to protect me from things like this, but if there is a war coming up, I need to know. I want to be helpful. I want to be useful in some way.” Amari said with determination in her eyes.

“I can see that. I will go tell them, but you need to have proper power if you want to be helpful,” I said, smiling while patting her head. Looking back at Kayda, I said while glaring at her. “Kayda, that’s two things you have let slip in one hour. This time it’s fine as we are family, but keep in mind what you say in the future in front of people. Especially to people outside the family.”

“I will,” Kayda said, hanging her down.

“Hey, sis, you don’t have to be that angry about it.”

“I need to. There are things she knows that should not be revealed to the public,” I said. Looking at the table, I took the poles Kayda set out for us and added. “I will be leaving. Thank you for the short lesson Kayda.”

Just like that, I left them in complete silence. Flash stepping away, I started to move into the forest. I knew I should actually go and look for Mom to talk with her about what just happened. But I felt so outraged at everything that I didn’t want to go and blame everything on mom. I knew that I need to calm myself down first. It is never a good thing to blame everything on one person. That was the reason I was running into the forest.
