Duality (DxD) (Part 1)

Ch 84 - Mittelts Progress

Jin was in the forest next to Kuoh Town with both Mittelt and Aika. It was a Saturday and during a lunch Jin and Aika had together, Aika mentioned wanting to show Jin how much she had improved. It had been years since he began studying magic and so Jin thought it was a good idea and great training for him. Mittelt also wanted to show how good she had got at her spearmanship so she came along. Going to show off what they had learned in a forest where no one was around.

With Mittelt wanting to go first, Aika let her as she stood in front of Jin. Wearing her classic Gothic Lolita clothing while Jin wore the clothing he used while out in his Kitsune form. With his tails and ears out. A gap of a few meters between both Mittelt and Jin, with Aika standing back dressed in hugging jeans, a white top that hugged to the visible black bra underneath and a black leather jacket.

Jin: Have you been practising as I told you to?

Mittelt: That and more! I'm certain even you will be impressed!

Jin gave a small smile as he got into stance. No matter how little or how much Mittelt may have improved, he always planned to say she was doing well and that she was impressive. Because that's what she would have needed to continue and not be discouraged in training.

Jin: Well the Mittelt, come at me.

Mittelt: Watch well Jin! Because this is my Raven Inscription style.

Mittelt said as she had her raven black wings appear, flying fast at Jin as he smirked. He liked the name she came up with, inspired by of her raven wings as a Fallen Angel, as well as the style based on the beautiful curves of calligraphy, the Inscription. Raven Inscription Style.

Quickly Mittelt swiped at Jin as he dodged leaning back, but the spear quickly span and curved in Mittelts hand like a brush. Weaving and swiping down as Jin weaves around the spear, but again the spear span as Mittelt guided her own momentum to direct the spear at Jin. Who jumped back to gain distance. Looking at Mittelt quickly flies towards him. Not giving him a moment to think or rest. Of course, Jin was going slower so Mittelt would gain experience from this, but she had taken to her technique well and quickly.

She wasn't pushed, pulled or guided by her own momentum. It was hard to control one's momentum and many martial arts focused on controlling someone else momentum. But Mittelts technique because of her small her size didn't focus of strength, but on speed and guiding her momentum. She as never controlled by her momentum and her spear almost acted like a snake that tracked Jin. But it was much more elegant and beautiful in its attacks.

Her spear didn't just express an attack like a snake, like calligraphy it could express many feelings. Right now it was expressing a desire to get stronger as it sought after Jin. Blocking the tip of Mittelts spear as he went to punch her, just to see how she would react and she did amazingly. Using her wings to push herself down they disappeared and controls the block of the spear, spinning on the ground with it as Jin jumped back over it in a summersault.

But then Jin sensed it, spinning around a lot faster than he had been going so far, seeing a pink spear as he punched it and it exploded into pink pieces. Spinning back around to Mittelt as he looked at the 3 spears that came flying at him. Smiling as he parried two to the sides and dodged under one. Throwing himself back up as he looked at Mittelt right in front of him.

Mittelt: AHHHHHH!

Mittelt shouted out as she thrusted her spear at Jin, pushing a surge of magic through the tip of the spear and throughout as to not have it break. Jin met Mittelts drive and punched back at it, his fist meeting with the tip as a boom rang out in the forest, causing Aika to cover her eyes a bit. Only to uncover them and look at the result.

Mittelts spear was badly cracked but it didn't break. But Jins finger, it was cut, blood over it.

Mittelt: Jin! Are you okay?!

Mittelt threw away her spear as it disappeared. Looking at the very small regenerating wound. Already healed by the time she grabbed it. But then as she looked up at Jin he was smiling widely.

Mittelt: Did I do that well?

Jin: I think your back is enough to tell you that.

Mittelt: My back?

Mittelt looked over her shoulder, looking back over her other shoulder as she widened her eyes. Tears slowly tickled down her eyes as she looked at her back, smiling through the tears.

Aika: MITTELT! YOU HAVE FOUR WINGS!

Aika said running over to Mittelt, smiling as she jumped into her hugging her. Mittelt had been working hard developing her spearmanship. But it solidifying her spear so much, she developed enough mastery over her power to create more than one spear at a time. Her power and control over it grew over the months of hard training, her technique developed well and her magic grew.

Developing 4 raven Fallen Angel wings on her back. Two pairs compared to the single pair she had before. Showing how much she was going and telling her it wasn't all for nothing.

Jin: {She put enough light magic in the tip to hurt me. Sona had told me Devils are weak to light magic and it applies to Youkai. I must have not completely adapted to light power, just the power Mittelt previously used to attack me.} Honestly Mittelt, you're extremely impressive. Well done.

Jin patted Mittelt on the head as she cried. With Aika hugging her. She had spent hundreds of years being weak. Being small and only having two wings. She had seen others around her advancing and growing.

But now she had grown. She was no longer weak or had two wings.

Though she remained small, a part of her she was beginning to really like about herself. Liking the pat on her head Jin was giving and Aikas hugs.

All because she was small.
