“Well~ no time is better than the present so should you begin your training~?” <Alexis>
Eel thought about it for a second but quickly decided to no while sat upon Alexis lap.
Since both of them were perfectly awake nor were they really in a rush, why not begin right there and then? Made little sense to rush into a village in the middle of the night especially when there was a large chance that said village would side with the fakier - they would likely rush over to them instead once they had fully prepped which may as well be the perfect situation for her skillset as a Hunter.
She had quickly learned that it was important to take advantage of one's surroundings from Leaf who’s power mostly came from her surroundings. Even the shitty lord Shanta apparently didn’t mess with {Elizabeth’s Paradise} because of the little nymph having secured the entire area as her domain. Were tripwires, potholes & snares honorable?
Maybe not, but why does she care about what humans think!
“Surely it would be a grander benefit to focus on what thou currently possess but hasn’t mastered rather than adding more upon thy plate. I ought to profess my belief that we should be done with this farce; even if those dullards unite it shan’t be a problem for us. Let us just put them in our place and be done with this journey!” <Promicarus>
The previously silent girl spoke out with a frown present on her face which made the other two girls raise a brow.
Promicarus may have been a grumpy person since they met her but it was more of a “why am I so much better than everyone” kind of grumpy. Even if she wasn’t always the most friendly person it never appeared as if she was in a rush to get things done yet she seemed quite visibly upset at something. The girl was always odd though… Even Eel felt things weren’t simple.
<Urgh why are people so complicated to read; why can’t they just say what they mean and be done with it all!>
Now the frown had spread as Eel glared at the grumpy Promicarus who obviously responded by returning the glare with a bigger frown. If it wasn’t for Alexis hugs Eel may have charged up to headbutt the other girl. Emily per usual was the voice of reason though.
“Why are you so suddenly in a hurry…” <Emily>
“I’ve never not been in a hurry - I haven’t waited for anyone as of yet so why would I start doing so now?” <Promicarus>
“That’s just because you're a bit of a bitch though.” <Eel>
“Thy words are as crass as one's race!” <Promicarus>
Soon the real adult stepped into the conversation before the two began to fight once more - turning her head with her tails wagging behind her as she spoke kindly.
“Now~ now, she merely has her own things to worry about. She must have important things she needs to succeed with… But whether they succeed is another matter~.” <Alexis>
At least she spoke in a graceful yet kind manner at first. Towards the end of her statement her eyes thinned upon Promicarus who was standing away from them; in response the girl just looked aside with a furrowed brow. If she could sweat she would but luckily she was above such mortal problems.
With the pressure from Alexis the girl just crossed her arms while saying nothing else, just silently biting her lip while facing away. Following that mature fox lady patted Eel’s shoulder with a doting smile. Her tails retreated behind herself so they wouldn’t get in the way of the pair.
“Now~ to begin I’ll be pushing some of my gathered Spiritual Energy, sometimes referred to as ‘nature energy’, through you. What I want you to do is simply get a feel while giving me access to freely let it flow through your body. It is the energy that represents the will of nature itself so only one who is intune with nature~.” <Alexis>
“Roger~ roger~!” <Eel>
Eel crossed her legs, placed her hands on her knees all the while closing her eyes. Instead of looking around she turned her gaze inside to await any changes in the ‘energies’ she could feel inside herself - this didn’t take too long. Just as Alexis had said she could tell something was making its way inside her which seemed to naturally interact with the mana already overflowing from herself. She could clearly tell that her mana was interacting with something as it was like when one drops salt in water; the salt will quickly vanish under the volume & purity of water yet the ripples of it’s initial impact still remain long after.
Turning her mind to study these ‘ripples’ in order to find the ‘initial impact’ in order to then find the cause of it all. This process was more difficult than simply understanding something was happening but luckily Alexis easily had energy to spare - providing a steady stream of energy for the girl to try to discover was no issue.
<Hm~ where is it… Where is it… There it is fufufu~!>
A big grin appeared on Elizabeth Jr.’s face as she soon discovered the warm energy flow into her which was a lot like mana but also not. This actually made sense; afterall mana was apparently the gift of {The Infinite Mother} while the name ‘Mother’ was the passed down position for the {Goddess of Life}. If this ‘Spiritual Energy’ was a blessing from nature like the wise ol- mature Fox had said it would of course be close in nature to mana!
“Oh~*chuckle* it seems you are really quick on the uptake with that cheeky little grin of yours little one. Well, let me show you the pathways in your body - in the east these are common knowledge due to a process Munzumira invented called ‘cultivation’. The ‘leveling up’ you know is also a type of cultivation due to the blessing of {The Infinite Mother} under careful management of the {S.Y.S.T.E.M} which allows everyone under Mother from not needing to worry about their foundation.
