Raye and Jerusha immediately headed into the Northern Forest. To where they usually hold their private lessons on spirit magic. Pyro and Zephyrus were with them, of course. -There's a lot of spirits here, huh? Zephyrus said, looking around. He could see them all now! Jerusha asked, hearing his words. Raye responded with a smile. -Ohhh, you can see us now! -You got a lot stronger, huh! The spirits talked to Raye. They were all gathering around him. Right now, Raye looked like a princess from an animated movie! 'I guess I did get a lot stronger.' Raye thought to himself. And with a small smile on his face... He started interacting with the spirits. Pyro started playing with the younger ones. -Pleasure to meet you. And Zephyrus socialized with the older ones. Raye and Jerusha continued on to the main reason they were in the Northern Forest in the first place. The spirits were now watching Raye from the sidelines, curious. "What's the first skill you'll show me?" Then, Raye, after thinking for a bit... "It's a mobility skill, inspired by your wind-flying thingy skill." "Ohhh, so it's a skill you made with Zephyrus?" And Raye just nodded his head in response. Then he started walking away from Jerusha. And when there was about 15 meters of distance between them... He stopped and looked at her. Jerusha replied, nodding her head. And then Raye crouched down, ready to take off. 'I wonder what he would do.' And as soon as she did... She heard Raye's voice. And the next thing she knew... Raye was standing in front of her! Jerusha was speechless, looking at Raye with widened eyes! And seeing her reaction... A twisted smirk appeared on Raye's face! He didn't say anything, though. Jerusha was really shocked. She knew she hadn't been paying proper attention earlier... But she's still a sophomore who participates in combat classes! Meaning that she wouldn't normally miss things that get near her, unless they were super fast! That just showed how fast Raye was! Anyway, after breaking out of her stupor... "Do it again, I didn't catch it!" He didn't walk away this time. Instead, he turned his back to Jerusha... And after crouching down... Gusts of wind covered his legs! Jerusha saw that and was immediately amazed. Raye disappeared from his spot! And he reappeared meters away from Jerusha! Jerusha was silent again. She saw how Raye's skill worked! 'He's really amazing.' Jerusha thought, looking at Raye. 'He creates absurd skills that don't use a lot of mana.' And with a frown on her face... "He would've been super strong if he had a big mana pool." Jerusha mumbled that under her breath. After showing off his Flash Step... Raye was planning to show Jerusha the Blaze next. He hadn't brought any weapon with him. "Do we go back to the cabin and get it?" "No, I'll figure it out." He was too lazy to go back and forth from here to the cabin. He looked around, curious. And after a while of searching... Raye found a stick, it was as long as Ivan's sword that he used now. He swung it a few times. And seeing that it didn't break... "Yep, this would work." "Ohh, so you're using that?" Jerusha butted in and asked him. Raye simply replied, looking at her. And without asking her any further... Then a violent, raging fire came out of his hand and swallowed the stick he was holding like a sword in his right hand! Jerusha frowned in surprise, she was silent again! Though, while she was like that... "Can you like, provide a target for me?" Jerusha was surprised, but after that... She used one of her skills! And only a few seconds later... A five-meter-tall pillar rose from the ground in front of Raye! 'She's really amazing.' And then he proceeded to slash his flaming stick horizontally! Cutting the pillar straight in half! Watching the pillar she made fall... Jerusha didn't say anything. Then, turning his attention to Raye... 'He's really amazing.' "Just how do you create skills like these?" Jerusha asked, approaching Raye and observing his flaming sword. Though, as she was doing so... The stick Raye was holding crumbled into dust. "Hmm, so it consumes your weapon's durability, huh." Jerusha said, noticing what happened. "Yeah, that's the downside of the skill." Jerusha squinted her eyes. "With this, you have three skills with Pyro and one skill with Zephyrus." "I actually have two skills with Zephyrus, I just couldn't use the other one very well at the moment." Jerusha was in disbelief. "What's the other one?" "I don't know what to call it, so I just named it Tear." Raye casually responded. Jerusha requested to see it. And with a smirk on his face... "That's why we're here in the first place, right?"
