"I'd appreciate the knowledge!" Khadgar said with a chuckle

"...Y-you don't...need to through t-the trouble, V-Velen. I-it's fine, really." Siglos said quietly.

Siglos glanced at Slyvia for a moment, before nodding.
"I-I guess so...a-and...it would be h-helpful for my work..." Siglos murmured. Hesitantly, he turned back to Velen.
"A-alright. T-thank you for the...kind offer..." Siglos said. He bowed, before straightening himself, ready to learn.

"No need to thank me! You simply need to regulate the flow of mana within any part of your body and shape it to your desire! Once you do, you'll be able to craft far finer weapons, Siglos, and be able to cast far more powerful spells, Khadgar! For Sylvia, since you aren't a mage, it'll most likely be better to focus on your eyes and ears." Velen explained.
"Okay, I did it!" Sylvia said, blinking rapidly. "This is weird..."
"Ah. That was... quick." Velen said with a chuckle.
"Well, it isn't a complex technique. Siglos just botched it cause he was a big dummy!" Sylvia signed, her tone would've been playfully teasing if she could speak, looking around the room.

"...Q-quit it, Slyiva..." Siglos murmured. He took a shaky breath, before slowly closing his eyes. He recalled the sensation he had felt when he had read the book with Slyvia, the gentle hum of mana that had coated his eyes. He attempted to replicate that feeling, slowly drawing the mana within his eyes and focusing it. This time, he managed to regulate the control by himself, slowly focusing on it more and more before he opened his eyes. He slowly glanced down at his cloak, immediately seeing the small aura of mana that surrounded it.
"A-alright...that's Magic Sight..." Siglos thought. He recalled what the book at told him, that Everians could naturally hear mana. coating his ears in a small layer of mana, he focused on his hearing, using the same process he had used on his eyes, but focusing on his ears instead. The soft hum he often heard from his robes gradually became louder and clearer, as he combined his natural ability to hear mana with the Mana Sensing technique he had learned. His ears began to burn uncomfortably for a moment, but he quickly corrected himself, regulating the power so that it didn't go out of control.
"I...I think I-i've gotten the hang of it..." Siglos said quietly.

"I try to keep mana out of my body whenever possible, after all, issues could arise with it!" Khadgar commented
- 42,753
- 36,986
Khadgar drew mana from his gloves and began practicing using mana to enhance his senses, clearly planning on training this along with a multitude of other things
- 13,335
- 22,249
Siglos rubbed his neck, a soft smile appearing on his face. Slowly, he dispelled the mana, his sight and hearing returning to normal.
"Heh...t-thank you, Sylvia." Siglos said quietly, chuckling a bit. He was still embarrassed, but it was clear from his smile that he was happy with his success.
"A-and...I-I'll make sure t-to put w-what you taught me t-to good use." Siglos said, bowing at the Archbishop.

In the meantime, somewhere in a forest away from villages by quite a bit, a person with a hood over his head was staring at its animals inside the different folds, some cows, sheeps, even pigs were present
His face was covered by the hood almost entirely due to it being dragged down over, preventing a good look at him
It was pretty peaceful and quiet, yet there were times some people come around and try to bother him, most have bad intentions, on which things get ugly as a result, while some just pass by for indications or such
For a few days, everything was fine, no one bothered this individual, which he wished to remain for far longer, although wishing such a thing wont ever come true
"Siiigh.....to think i would end up this way for going away....no turning back now though...."

Noah was still training, she thought she improved her posture and control a bit, so decided to go and see Jeanne.
"At least I hope that she is not dead from bleeding" She said

Siglos glanced at Slyvia, before turning back to Velen.
"I-I think I'll s-stay a bit longer to...if that's alright." Siglos said quietly, a soft smile on his face.

Jeanne was not dead, but, she was clearly significantly exhausted, making heavy, labored breaths and coughs as she leaned against the wall, barely able to hold her sword. "I've made a lot of progress... My control has improved significantly, I think... Now I just... need endurance... Haaaa... I'll... probably need some healing..."
Sylvia's wings just fluttered happily as she used her tail and wings to scoop up a few more books on random topics, clearly planning to train her Mana Sight through reading.
"Alright, alright. Don't have to much fun!" Velen said, glancing suggestively at Siglos and Sylvia before teleporting out of the room.

(Is she still has blood on her?)
- 13,335

Siglos chuckled, rubbing his neck. Turning away from the spot where Velen had disappeared, Siglos began gathering a few books of his own. A few related to enchantment and crafting...alongside a few books dedicated to basic sound magic. Slowly, he walked up to Slyvia, flashing her a soft smile.
"I'm glad V-Velen taught us how to read these books...this library really is amazing..." Siglos said quietly.

"Jeanne, you should at least lower the intensity of your training in regards to the amount of blood you release, you look like are in the menstruation stage" Noah joke as she approached.

"Well, I'm just worried, you know, I don't want to find a corpse of the people I've met just for training" she smiled

- 22,249
Siglos nodded. Gently, he moved next to Slyvia, resting his head against her leg as he flipped the pages of his own book.
"...D-do you know why Cain is upset?" Siglos asked quietly. He had seen her brooding after the talk with Velen, but hadn't approached her.

Jeanne nodded, moving over to grab her flag. "It's fine, Noah... I know how to regulate myself so I don't die."
"Well, she thinks that Velen was calling her weak." Sylvia signed, "When he was talking about needing strong people, she got angry because she felt as though he was calling her strength insufficient. It's a tradition thing. I got sorta upset to..."

"Well, then after you heal your wounds what do you plan to do?" The Dragon ask to the human
- 13,335
- 22,249
"O-oh!" Siglos said, he glanced up at Slyvia.
"...I-I don't think he meant it that way..." Siglos said quietly.
"...there's just...some things that can't be solved w-with only one strong person. I-it's like how...wars are fought with armies...you know?"

"I'll probably get something to eat, I've burned a lot of calories..." Jeanne said, beginning to surround herself slowly in healing light as she began to pray.
"I don't think he meant it that way either, but..." Sylvia signed, shaking her head a bit.
"She's a bit..." She tried to finish her sentence, but, she didn't seem to be able to figure out what to sign. As if she didn't really know how to describe it.
"Let's just say she takes our traditions... very seriously." She finally finished her sentence, just breathing out.
- 13,335
- 22,249
Siglos breathed out, nodding.
"...W-well, she does l-like fighting...right? O-or...fighting is a part of your traditions..." Siglos asked, looking up at Slyvia.
"...M-maybe i-if you trained with her...she'd f-feel a bit better. S-since she's...building towards her goal." Siglos said quietly.

"Maybe eating before coming here wasn't a good idea" she thought to herself before smiling.
"Well, there are several good quality desserts here, although the orange juice felt soulless," Noah said.

"Well, she's probably already off training somewhere, I just don't actually know where. I probably should've went with her..." Sylvia signed.
Jeanne finished healing herself partially to the point she'd at least be able to walk a few minutes later before responding. "Well, I'm used to eating and drinking things that aren't the most flavorful, so, I don't mind..."
- 13,335
- 22,249
"O-oh! W-well...we can g-go looking for her, if you want." Siglos said quietly, closing the book he had been reading. He stood up, flashing her a small smile.
"...Y-your probably familiar with her...smell, right?
- 13,335
- 22,249
"A-Alright!" Siglos said. He smiled, glad she offered to give him a ride. Placing the books he had been reading inside his bag, he hopped up onto Slyvia, scrambling on her back for a moment before reaching a steady position on her shoulders.
"R-ready!" He said.

Sylvia nodded, hopping off of the floor of the library they were in and leaving Khadgar to dick around with whatever he was doing, moving out of the library and moving to where Cain presumably was, with the sound of metal slamming against rock intensifying as they approached.
"Don't worry, that's just her...!" Sylvia signed as they moved.

"I suppose, the knights must not only have their bodies trained from the outside but also from the inside to be able to be used to eating whatever there is, be it insects and the like" Noah said.
- 13,335
- 22,249
"...S-sound pretty intense..." Siglos said quietly, peaking out next to Slyvia's head as she approached the noise.
"... I hope she's alright..."

"Well, it's not really training and more so just having to eat things that are rather distasteful from time to time..." Jeanne said, beginning to move to the mess hall.
In a dark, desolate forest, a girl stood, stumbling throughout the woods, barely able to stay on her feet. With a blade lodged through her stomach, she stumbled through the grass, falling onto her side and clenching her teeth in agony as blood poured down into the dirt and mud.
"This is a pathetic display, Cain." A voice called out to her, her mind ringing with pain as it was clearly a telepathic connection. She could hear footsteps slowly approaching her, her body instinctively trembling.
"Get up." The voice ordered.
Cain leaned against a tree, trying to remove the blade that had been lodged from her stomach forcefully. She gritted her teeth, blood continuing to pour from the wound as the metal scraped against her insides, the internal bleeding only intensifying from this as it cut her from within. In a fit of strength, she removed the blade, and had she been able to scream, she would.
Cain breathed heavily, turning to the source of the voice. It was a mirage, her voice clouded with blood and dirt, preventing her from making out their physical appearance, but, she knew who it was.
"Yes..." She responded through her thoughts, gripping the blade that she had pulled out from her stomach. With that, she pulled herself onto her feet, moving towards the mirage. She attempted to strike at it, but, she could not maintain her balance to perform a clean cut, and fell to the ground, writhing in agony as the blade had clearly pierced something important.
"Pathetic..." The voice said as Cain trembled, gripping her wound. "You playing with that commoner has dulled your blade significantly, Cain... Your strength wanes."
"No... N-No..." She thought back, "I can keep going.... I can..."
"Save it. Your injuries are to severe for you to continue fighting without death." The voice said, "You waste your potential playing around with those you don't need, Cain. Eventually, you'll become worthless to me..."
"W-Wait...! P-Plea-" Cain tried to respond, but she was only met with irritation from her injuries, the mud and dirt only increasing the pain. "I can keep going... please..."
This time, she was not met with a response from the voice as she writhed on the ground. She could hear the footsteps slowly walking away from her, leaving her in a cold, desolate silence.
"N-No... No No No No No..." She curled up on the ground, only continuing to irritate her wounds. She trembled as she tried to get up, only to fall back to the ground. She wished she could call out, but, she could not speak.
"Don't go... Don't... I'm not weak... I can... I'm not weak... I'm not... I'm not... I can be useful... please..."

"Cain! Caaiiinnn!!!" Sylvia called out to Cain in their unique language as they found her, the area significantly torn up from her training as she sat against the wall, softly growling as Sylvia tried to get her attention.
"I'm not weak..." She thought, "I'm... not..."

Siglos wrapped one arm around Slyvia's neck, using the other to wave at Cain as they approached. He glanced around, slightly unnerved by the torn-up landscape.
"...W-we've been looking f-for you C-Cain!" Siglos said, raising his voice.
"...W-we've been looking f-for you C-Cain!" Siglos said, raising his voice.
