As I was training my magic control with Sōzokujin, Uxor kept giving me weird stares as if I was forgetting something.
"Loki, get over here!" She said in an annoyed voice
"What?" I asked as I was coming to where she sat
"The disguise." She said
"Disguise?"
"Lexia's friends are coming over and you need to look like an elf, and I hope you haven't forgotten your alibi."
"I haven't, but I did forget they were coming over." I said as I tapped the earring
"Really? You said they could come over and then went to bed." Jin said while still training
"Oh yeah right I did say that." I said as the disguise finished forming
Immediately after the conversation was over and I went back to sparring with Sōzokujin the front door opened and three girls the same age as Lexia came in.
"So this is where you live!" One of them said happily
"Where's your family?" Another one asked
"Why is there a red haired boy sparring with Sōzokujin?" The third one asked pointing out doors
"He's hot!" The first one said
"Is he your boyfriend?" The second one asked
"Can you all calm down!" Lexia said stopping all the questions
"Who is he?" The third one asked
"A family friend who is living with us temporarily." Lexia answered
"Hello, you three must be Lexia's friends." Uxor said who had gone to great them
"Hi, I'm Sate!" The first one said
"I'm Unzari." The second one said
"My name's Onwa." The third one said
"Who's that back there!" Sate shouted in excitement
"Yeah! Can we go talk to them!?" Unzari asked a little quieter but still loudly
"Keep it down will you!" Jin shouted at them
"I'm sorry!" Both of them said in unison
"Where's your dad?" Onwa asked Lexia
"He's at work." Lexia replied
"Want to take a break to drink?" I asked Jin
"Sure, but are you just asking this so you can talk to the ladies?" Jin asked teasingly
"Shut up!" I said as I kick him in the stomach
"But I bet you do!" He said after getting to his feet
"I bet you're just saying that to make yourself look like a gentleman." I said as we were making our way in the house
"What are you talking about?" Onwa asked after appearing out of nowhere in front of me
"None of your business Onwa." Jin said as he pushed her out of the way
"What's your name?" She asked me ignoring Jin
"Itazura." I said as I walked to the kitchen and got a glass of water
"Lo- Itazura, stop talking to the girls and get outside." Jin said as he grabbed my collar
"I just introduced myself to her." I said as I went outside again
"Do you want to see my room?" Lexia asked
"Sure." Onwa said as the girl's followed Lexia
"You seem to know that Onwa girl." I said to Jin while I was meditating to try and improve my speed at flowing magic
"I used to date her older sister." He said as he was doing practice swings with a sword
"Ohh? And you call me a womaniser!" I said to him while trying to figure if I could use magic in other ways than inside objects
"Shut up!" He said as he threw his sword toward me which I dodged
"Anyway, enough about girls, I have a question." I said as I stood up from the ground
"What is it?" He asked as he went to pick up the sword
"Is it possible to use magic through the air?" I asked as I tried to flow magic into the air
"For that you would need extremely high level support type magic."
"So Lexia may be able to do it?"
"Yeah probably."
"Which elements can she use, other than nature?"
"Wind and Water."
"Hmm, I'll be right back." I said as I hurried in the house and toward Lexia's room.
"Hey, Lexia, can you help me with something?"
"Just a moment." Lexia said as the door opened
"Come in." Sate said as she tried to pull me into the room
"I'm not here to hang out with you three, I just need to talk with Lexia." I said getting a little annoyed at the fact that they tried to get my attention
"What is it?" Lexia said from inside the room
"Just come with me." I said as I removed Sate's hand and turned around to leave
"I'll be right back guys." She said as she hurried after me
"Can you flow magic into the air?" I asked as we went outside
"Yeah, but not far." She answered
"Could you show me?" I asked
"What do you want me to do?"
"Create water." I said
"I'll try." She said as she opened her hand and focused
"Can't you not do it without mixing in the nature element?" I asked as a green water ball floated in her hand
"It's possible but not easy." Jin said who was still training
"But I can do it no problem if it is into a weapon." I said
"Yeah, me too, but healing is different." He said as he threw a sword to me
"In what way?" I asked as I poured magic into the sword. "Oh, and you can go back to your friends if you want now, Lexia."
"Okay." She said and left
"When you use a sword you intend to kill so if you pour fire into it then it gets more deadly, but if you pour fire directly into a person…"
"They die…"
"Exactly."
"Okay, I think I understand."
"Why are you just standing there, get to training!" Lupus said who was supervising our training
"Right!" We said at the same time
As I was doing practice swings with my sword while imbuing it with magic, after I awhile I decided to try focusing magic in the exact same way but without a sword, I threw away the sword I was holding, got into position as if I was holding a sword I closed my eyes and tried to imbue an imaginary sword with light magic and fire magic, I did practice swings as I would with a real sword until I felt something different in my hand, it felt as though I was gripping a real sword not just air that I tried to make into a sword, I opened my eyes and looked at my hand that was gripping a white glowing fire sword.
"It worked!" I shouted to Jin
"What did?" He said while pausing his practice swings
"A sword made out of pure magic." I said as I walked over to him. "Look."
"How did you manage to do that?" He asked as he looked at the sword
"Here put down the sword I'll show you." I said as I released my magic sword
"What do I need to do?"
"Get into the stance you would if you were holding a sword."
"Alright, like this?"
"Perfect, now close your eyes and imagine yourself holding a sword that you're pumping full of magic."
"Alright."
"Now try to swing it without breaking the magic structure that you're trying to get the magic to take."
As Sōzokujin was doing that I tried to make magic swords out of as many different combinations of magic i could, Dark, Dark Thunder, Dark Fire, Light, Light Thunder, Light Fire, Fire, Thunder, even Thunder Fire which exploded in my face but still even for a moment took the shape of a sword, but for some reason Nature just didn't want to do as I told it to.
"Hey, Jin are you trying to use nature magic in your magic sword?" I asked wanting to see if I was right
"Yeah, why?" He replied
"Try to just use one of your other elements." I said
"Alright." And immediately after he tried that a magic sword of fire appeared
"Just as I thought."
"Did you figure something out?"
"Yeah, but first I want you to try using your Earth element at the sametime as Fire in your sword." I said
"Sure, but why?" He said as the sword turned from flames to a lava like substance
"Hm, so nature doesn't want to come out and some magic types won't mix huh."
"What do you mean?" He asked
"I'll explain on the field tomorrow since we're going into the forest for another week." I said
"Actually you're going into the forest for two month's." Lupus said
"What!?" Both me and Sōzokujin shouted in surprise
