- “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
