Last Wish System Chapter 38
Advertisement
Yale and Aizu still had some time until Yale had to go to the Fist Battle Class.
However, they stopped the sparring type training and instead chose to compare spells normally.
Yale didn't mind continuing, but Aizu felt that she should repay Yale's kindness, so she wanted to help Yale to learn her fireball spell.
Yale couldn't say that he wasn't interested in that spell, so he ended up accepting Aizu's offer.
He had never learned a Magic Skill by himself since he always had the assistance of the system. The Time Healing was learned due to enlightenment, so it didn't count either.
However, he managed to learn a Combined Skill by himself and even created his own Origin Skill.
Those things were far more difficult than merely learning a spell.
Furthermore, the essence of the spell resembled Water Ball, so Yale didn't have too many difficulties understanding it.
[The user successfully created the Magic Skill: Fire Ball.]
Yale only needed to try three times before being able to use the new spell.
[Fire Ball Level 1: Generates a ball of fire. Fire Element. It requires 1 Origin Point. Mastery at level 10.]
The description was almost the same as the Water Ball, only that the element was fire.
Aizu wasn't surprised that Yale managed to use it at only his third try, she wouldn't be surprised even if he had done it on the first try.
After learning Fire Ball, Yale realized that its use was almost identical to Water Ball, the only difference was the element.
[The user upgraded the Magic Skill "Water Ball" to Level 2.]
[The user upgraded the Magic Skill "Fire Ball" to Level 2.]
That realization increased the level of both skills. Yale was even thinking of a way to use them at the same time, but he still hadn't realized how to do it.
After that, Yale also wanted to teach Aizu his own Water Ball spell.
With Yale's explanation about the similarities of both skills, Aizu also managed to learn Water Ball at the third try.
"It's almost time for my Fist Battle Class; I need to go, or I will be late. Tomorrow at the same hour?"
"It's already that late?"
Aizu seemed disappointed. She benefitted a lot from training with Yale, she would continue for more time if she could.
"Do you really need to attend all the Warrior Classes? Isn't enough with only attending one to dual practicing? Those classes were quite boring..."
"Are you also attending a Warrior Class?"
Yale didn't expect that Aizu also attended a Warrior Class, but apparently, she didn't like it.
"Yes, I joined the Sword Battle Class. However, at most, I am average in the class..."
Aizu was too prideful, so being, at most, average in the class was a disgrace to her.

She had tried different weapons before coming to the academy, but in the others, she was even worse. Thus, she chose the sword.
Dual practicing also enticed Aizu, but after the previous day of classes, she had lost confidence in being able to train the Warrior Path even if it was only as a secondary path to her.
Yale face changed when he heard that Aizu practiced with the sword, even if she was only average.
"Don't be depressed by that! I'm skilled in the sword, but without my master, I doubt that I would have been able to reach my current level. Your only problem is that you lack someone to teach you!"
Yale said those words from the bottom of his heart. Even his Innate Talent was obtained because Swordmad accepted to be his master.
Furthermore, Yale didn't have good talents in the rod and the spear, but he quickly reached the top of the class anyway.
Talent made everything easier, but it wasn't the most crucial factor. Hard work was the most critical factor, and of course, having someone to teach you and someone who could practice with you was also important.
"And from where would I get a teacher? No one would bother to teach mediocre talents. Awesome teachers only want awesome students."
Although teachers at the academy sometimes took students as disciples, they were quite picky.
"That isn't true. I never wielded a sword before my master accepted me, I was even known as a bookworm."
Yale still wondered how he managed to do it, but there was no way he guessed that it was because of the Mysterious Expert.
"You are too lucky! I don't have that kind of luck."
Yale saw that Aizu felt grieved, and he couldn't bear to see her like that.
"Then I will be your master and teach you everything about the sword. I don't care about your talent. I just want to teach you because it is you."
Yale didn't want to see Aizu being that negative, so he spoke without thinking two times. Given his current level, teaching someone like Aizu wasn't difficult.
Furthermore, Aizu was much like how Yale would have been if he hadn't taken Swordmad as master, so he felt empathy towards her.
After hearing Yale's words, Aizu's face was completely red, and Ange was utterly shocked.
"Then... I accept the offer... master."
Yale was shocked as he heard Aizu's shy voice.
"Don't call me like that, call me Yale as usual."
Even Yale felt awkward with a cute girl like Aizu calling him master, and he also didn't think that he was qualified to be called master even if he would teach her. He considered that Aizu was his friend, so he wanted to teach her, but he never expected that Aizu would call him like that.

"Alright, Yale."
Yale sighed in relief as Aizu said his name as always.
"The main problem is when to practice, I don't have a lot of time, and I don't want to reduce our spell training."
At that moment, Ange appeared.
After she saw how Yale spoke to Aizu before, she decided to help them a bit more.
"Why not after your practice with Swordmad, you will be already on the training grounds, so you won't be late like today."
Ange spoke with a smile on her face.
"Today, I wasn't late! You two were here too early!"
Yale didn't want to be blamed for something he didn't do despite knowing that Ange was joking.
"But you don't have any problem to teach her at that time, right?"
At that question, Yale replied quickly.
"Of course, no problem at all."
Seeing the conversation between the siblings, Aizu needed to say something.
"Wait, that is after midnight, right? Going to a boy's house that late wouldn't be bad?"
Before Yale could say anything, Ange replied to her. That was all part of Ange's plan.
"Technically, this is my house, and Yale is only borrowing a room, so you can't say that you are going to a boy's house."
Anyway, Ange didn't think that there was a problem given that both were still ten years old. She wanted to help them develop a romance, but just a pure one, for other things, she wouldn't allow them until they were grown up.
"But won't it be bad if she needs to go back to her room after the training? It will be too late, even though the academy has security..."
That time the concerned one was Yale. The academy had security, but the students should be in their rooms at night.
If something happened because they were walking around at night, the academy wouldn't hold responsibility unless it happened to someone with an important status.
If something happened to Ange or Yale, the academy would act, but Aizu hadn't reached that level.
Ange was happy that Yale unconsciously helped in her plan.
"That's right. Then, it would be better if I lend a room to Aizu. After all, I have too many spare rooms."
That was the most critical part of Ange's plan. She wanted Yale and Aizu living in the same house to let them become even closer. Even just meeting each other on a daily basis was good enough to become closer.
"Wait, that..."
Aizu tried to reply to Ange, but she didn't let her do it.
"Furthermore, I heard that you have good talent in healing. If you live here, I can teach you a bit.
After Aizu heard what Ange said, she didn't know what to say in reply.
She didn't want to live in the same house with a guy, but Ange's offer was too tempting.
"Furthermore, you will have the benefit of hugging our younger sister if you live with us. Come Wyba. You don't need to continue hiding."
Wyba quickly ran towards Yale's arms after Ange said that she needn't hide anymore.
Yale and Ange were trying to conceal her existence from other students.
However, since Ange was planning that Aizu stayed with them, there was no meaning in hiding Wyba from her.
"Is your younger sister?"
Aizu didn't know if Ange was teasing her or telling the truth, because Wyba was obviously a wolf cub.
"I adopted her as my little sister before coming to the academy, I owe a lot to her mother, and Wyba wouldn't have been able to survive alone."
Yale explained without doubting for even a second, he knew that the situation was strange, but to him, Wyba was his younger sister.
After hearing Yale and seeing his serious face, Aizu understood that they were telling the truth.
Then, Aizu looked at Wyba, she was really very cute, and Aizu wanted to hug her.
"Can I really hug her if I live here?"
Aizu couldn't resist the enticement of hugging a cute wolf cub like Wyba.
Furthermore, Aizu would be able to learn healing magic from Ange and swordsmanship with Yale.
Even if she was reluctant to live with a guy, the offers were too good, and Yale didn't seem to be against it either.
Moreover, with Ange there, she was sure that nothing wrong would happen, so she ended accepting shyly.
"Then, I will notify the academy, and they will bring over your things. You don't need to do anything. Come here, try to hug Wyba. I'm sure that she will like you."
Yale then spoke to Wyba.
"Right, Aizu is a good girl, you don't need to fear her."
Yale, who was holding Wyba in his arms at that moment, was worried because Wyba was even more antisocial than him when it came to unknown people, but she was very lovely once she trusted someone. She loved to be hugged by those she liked.
However, after Wyba heard Yale, she relaxed and let Aizu hug her, showing that Yale was worrying for nothing.
Yale knew that Wyba liked to be hugged, but he had little time to spend with her due to his schedule, so he thought that it was good to have more people who could accompany and hug her when he didn't have time. After all, Wyba was still too young.
"So soft! Nice to meet you Wyba, I'm Aizu."
Aizu forgot caring about living with a guy or not after starting to hug Wyba. Cute beings were lethal to a little girl like Aizu.
Ange smiled and thought.
"Plan succeeded."
