Without You, The Beginning of Magic {Magical AU}

Chapter 11: Training (Part 3)

I looked up as Mikeal got into the back, "Alright Iri, we're here. After your discussion let's head back to Tom and get this fixed up, ok?" I hopped up, but grew panicky, "I'm so sorry I just realized that I dragged you with us! If you need a ride then Minori can take you there!" They got up as Lial smiled, "I want to see your negotiations and spend some time with you... If I do then I can know what to help you with." Sylvar hoped, "I'll stay until tomorrow, but I'll need to get my bow upgraded."

I held out my hand, "May I see it?" He nodded as Ky jumped out after me, "I don't have anything particular to do and you're an interesting girl... I think I'll stick along too if that's alright." I smiled as I gently grabbed his bow, "Of course it is." I smiled and held it up as my eyes glowed as I examined it, "Wow! It's so pretty! The wave of green and yellow intertwining!" I held my hand and put my hand on a piece of the bow as I mumbled, "The mana here is a little messed up..."

I applied mana to my fingers and took it before running my finger down the string and twisting it gently before nodding and holding it out to him, "It's a beautiful bow. I don't know what needs to be fixed, but I hope they don't mess it up." I tilted my head as all of them, but Mikeal stared in awe. Sylvar grabbed his bow and drew it with an arrow before lowering it and placing it in its quiver, "No... You fixed it..."

I tilted my head, but looked at Lial and Ky as they burst out laughing. Ky yelled, "Dear Goddess Firyln! She's a prodigy!" I flushed a bright red as Lial handed me a dagger, "Could you take a look at this?" I gently took it and tilted my head, "What about it?" He smirked, "Apply some mana would you?" I looked at him then the dagger, "I can't... You have to. Otherwise it'll belong to that person." He smiled, "I know..." I look to the side, "It might be rude of me, but... Mikeal's dagger needs upgrading... May I give it to him?"

Mikeal glared at me, "Iris, I told you... You made me my armor and clothes. You've crafted every cloth in that carriage! Heat resistance. Cold Resistance. Mana, physical, a barrier, temperature changing... Iris, you're only able to recharge your mana so fast because of Gengi's absorbing the demon beast, purifying it and giving it to you!"

I jerked and wide eyed as he yelled, "I didn't want to say it, but the reason Gengi sleeps so much is because he's over wo-" Gengi shot up and kicked his mouth. I shook, "Is that true?..." I yelled, "Gengi! You said you ate my mana, but you were giving it to me?!" His ears drooped. It's true that I did feed on your mana, but that stopped as I realized your mana pool wasn't replenishing... That's when I realized I was your mediator. I sleep simply because I have nothing to do. I'm tired because lazing around makes me sleepy. I gritted my teeth and looked at him teary eyed, "Swear on friendship and contract! That you're not overworking yourself and only sleeping because you're bored!" He slowly grew bigger and nuzzled my chest as my tattoo glowed. I swear. I nuzzled his forehead, "... Tell me if you don't want to do something, ok?..." He nuzzled. Alright. I sniffled and held him, "Grow smaller before a riot happens..." He did as asked and sat on my head.

I shot my gaze at Mikeal and smiled, so he shivered and shot up to run, but I was suddenly in front of him, "Mikeal..." He backed away as I cracked my knuckles, "Let's have a spar... So you don't get rusty, huh?" He held his hand out as I began dragging him inside, "Minori help me!" I stopped and smiled at Minori, "Great idea!" Minori backed off, "Y-you know... I just remembered that I-" I grabbed his arm, "I'll talk to Rayleigh after thoroughly showing you why I make the decisions..."

I looked at the three of them as they laughed, "So interesting! Let's see you fight them!" I giggled, "Ok!" I hummed softly as Lial led us to the training ground. I dropped them off, "Go change and bring your sword and dagger." They sighed before I waved, "I'm going to go change too!" I hummed softly and skipped towards a changing room. I put my scarf, and armor into my ring before changing into tight stretchy pants that formed to my leg then a sports bra and two sweat cuffs. The only things I kept on were my ring, my earrings, neckless, watch, crown, and the outfit, no shoes or socks.
