After picking himself up from the crater of the mountain, he relocated himself inside a clearing of the vast forest.

Kenta looked up towards the vast blue sky that stretched above his head. He naturally notices that the dark clouds had completely disappeared, and the rays of the sun spilled from the sky.
Even now for some reason he could feel his control over his lightning had increased, at his current level he should be able to summon lightning without the need to create thunderclouds.

He then observed his surroundings carefully, he was going to try something that might left him in a vulnerable state once he is done, if possible, he wanted to go further into the forest where the probability of being attacked by monsters would be low but, "... It's not ideal but, it should do." He muttered to himself.

Strands of Kenta's slightly long blonde hair fluttered by the soft gentle breeze as his blue ocean eyes sparkled with determination.

He held his hand upwards and at that moment a single bolt of electricity descended from the sky, falling directly onto the spot where Kenta stood.

"Guh!" Kenta's face winced as a small groan escapes his mouth. He felt the slight pain of the electricity attacking his insides but, he bit his lower lips and inadvertently clenched his fist! He used all his will power to resist the pain.

Purple lightning flickered around his body and condensed, Kenta closed his eyes and used his imagination to control the purple lightning! Suddenly the lightning bolt split into two and took the form of two purple transparent and angelic wings that opened wide from his back.
Sweat slid silently down his face as he panted. Once his breathing had become stable, he turned his head to look over his shoulders. "I see... so it's just as I thought. It wasn't my imagination after all." He muttered. 

Ever since he meditated and his control over lightning had increased, he had an instinctual feeling he could manually control his lightning more freely which is something mages couldn't do when using magic.

He closed his eyes and tried controlling his purple wings, once he commanded them to open his wings would spread wide like that of a beautiful swan in the middle of a lake, if he commanded it to closed then the purple wings would enclose him and wrapped tightly around his body like a cocoon.

After testing out his control over his wings once again he finally tried flying. Kenta kicked off the ground with a mighty stomped creating a small crater onto the grassy field.
His body lifted off the ground smoothly as he flapped his wings to increase his altitude but, "Shit!" He exclaimed.

Just when he was about to soar into the sky his two purple wings disappeared when he was at least 20 feet above ground.

With his wings now removed Kenta's body was once again influenced by the law of gravity and fell heavily onto the ground with a thud. He laid down on his back while facing the sky.
Many creatures could be seen flying through the sky in an orderly manner. Kenta observed the way they flew for some time before he got to his feet. Just before he fell, he felt an unbalance of his wings, his right wings had more magical energy than his left wing. 

With that instability his left wing disappeared followed by his right wing. "I see... in order to fly there should be a perfect balance between both wings." Kenta muttered, as he observed the creatures flying in the skies above.

"Hm... maybe I should try-" Kenta thought of something but was immediately pulled out of his thought as a frown appeared on his face, he could feel the earth beneath his feet vibrating.

STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!

"Hm?" Kenta turned his head in a northerly direction where the sound of heavy footsteps caught his ear. In the distance a cloud of dust reflected in his blue pupils. "... That's?" Kenta narrowed his eyes to get a better view of the cloud of dust that was closing the distance between him.
From within the cloud of dust a creature could be seen running on its four legs, the exterior of its rough body was covered in stone like shards and there were three horns that protrudes from his head. The creatures resemble a Rhinoceros! Its red eyes stared at Kenta's left hand that had purple lightning flickering around it.
