Chapter 17

After finishing our food we decided to fins somewhere where I could at least try to start giving kelriea some ways of how to use magic, it didn’t take too long to find the training hall that was on the campus as you could hear the shouts and the clashing of weapons and spells from ages away, we walked in to see a large group of people in a circle watching what seemed to be a duel between a fox beast man and the human that tried to claim ownership of me when I first got here.

The fox man was using a spear in his left hand with a small buckler attached to his right arm, his stance had his centre of gravity low enabling him to take a hit without being forced backwards and also allowed him to strike slightly harder as he would unbalance himself, compared to the other guy he was far superior in terms of martial prowess as he was holding his sword in such a way that a single well placed hit would disarm him, upon the humans face was a look that seemed to imply that he would win, but from a trained person view you could tell it was the opposite.

The fox man trust towards the human causing him to jump backwards to doge the attack but the fox man followed him not giving him a chance to react to any attacks, the human face changed to a look of terror as he narrowly dodged the attacks he then dived towards the fox man and slashed towards his head but the attack was stopped by the fox man’s buckler, the human jumped back just in time to avoid the head of the spear slamming into his side, a look of pleasure came onto the human face as the fox man suddenly stopped moving, the fox man tried to move but his body refused to move the veins in his arms an face bulged out as the human walked towards him with the intent to kill him I could tell from the ambient mana in the air that a immobilisation spell had been used and if I didn’t interfere that the fox man would die, he raised his sword to strike at the fox man and swung it down only for it to be block by a wall of earth that I had summoned to stop the strike. He looked around and saw me with my hand raised while my other was resting on the hilt of my katana.

???-‘’ what did you do that for knife ears’’ he snarled at me.

Xar-‘’ oh that’s a new one’’ I said to him as I walked towards the fox man. ‘’ hey mr fox are you alright there?’’ I asked him as I reached him.

Fox man-‘’yea thanks for the save’’ he said as he was still trying to move.

???-‘’oi knife ears I was talking to you!!’’ the human shouted at me but I continued to ignore him.

Xar-‘’ so was this duel a friendly one or was it one to the death’’ I asked the fox man.

Fox man-‘’ a friendly duel, the human there started to insult beast men like me and even threatened to find and kill my family but due to the fact that he is an imperial prince I couldn’t challenge him to a duel to the death or else my can would be attacked’’ he said to me a she finally regained the control of his body.

Xar-‘’ I see well then I suppose I should teach him a lesson in humility’’ I said to him but then I whispered underneath my breath so only the fox man could hear me ’’and also kill the fucker’’.

He gave me a look of surprise as I turned to the human. He was sitting there screaming at me to not ignore him but while i was talking to the fox man I had droned him out.

Xar-‘’ what the fuck do you want you racist piece of shit’’ I said to him not hiding the contempt in my voice. His face was priceless as it twisted into one of shock and then one of anger and back to shock again.

???-‘’ you dirty forest dwelling knife ears slave I will end you!!’’ he screamed at me.

Xar- ‘’aww that’s cute you think you’re a threat’’ I said in the most mocking tone I could muster causing him to lose his shit so to say.

???-‘’ don’t you know who I am slave!!’’ he continued to yell at me.

Xar-‘’ nope I don’t and to tell you the truth I don’t really care as in a few minutes you’re going to be dead’’ I said to him as I slowly drew my katana in an effort to intimidate him. His face slowly drained of the colour.

One of the people in the crowd began to shout at me telling me to stop attack the prince but I paid the voice no mind.

Xar-‘’ so do you know why I’m doing this?’’ I asked the human in front of me.’’ Its because you’re a dirty racist rapist and self-entitled little prick who seems to think using magic cast by someone else in a duel is fair so for now you die’’ I said to him as I swung y blade into his shoulder and brought it down to the ground cutting him in half from his shoulder to his hips.

His body fell to the ground in a heap with the blood spilling everywhere I cleaned my blade on his corpse and sheathed my blade, the crowd around me was looking at me with a amazed look on their faces, I turned to kelriea and motioned her to follow me. I was surprised that no royal guards had come after me but I had more pressing matter to attend to.

Kelriea-‘’ thank you’’ I heard her say as she was behind me, I look behind me to see her with a few tears in her eyes. ‘’ he was one of the three that raped my mother’’.

Xar-‘’ then I should have let him suffer a more painful death’’ I said to her as we arrived at a shooting range that was used for archery,‘’now let me see how we should train you, first off can you feel the mana inside of you feel the mana inside of you?’’ I asked her.

Keriea-‘’ yes I can feel it demons like elves can feel the mana inside of them’’. she answered me.

Xar-‘’ good now do you know how to cast any spells?’’

Kelriea-‘’ unfortunately no I don’t I have never been told how to and I was never allowed near any books on magic’’

Xar-‘’ right then I will tell you how I do it, first find the man inside of you and take a small amount of it, then picture what you want that mana to turn into and then ask it to form into the thing that you have pictured’’ as I did this I demonstrated what I was telling her by bring a pure bal of man atomy hands before changing it into a bolt of lightning and flinging it towards on of the targets that was further down the range.

Kelriea slowly began to bring the mana into her hand but her face was showing signs of strain and sweat was forming on her forehead, the ball of mana in her hand dissipated and she began to breathe heavily. She looked at me with smile and began to laugh.

Xar-‘’ what so funny?’’ I asked her

Kelriea-‘’ it’s just I’ve never felt that amount of power in my hands before it felt natural, but I couldn’t keep the picture of what I wanted in my head for long’’ she said to me as the smile she had on her face made me feel happy for some reason.

Xar-‘’ you might need to use chants for that ive heard that humans need to do that for them to control the mana, personally I don’t need to but if you want I could see what I could do to find some books on the subject’’

Kelriea-‘’ I see but yes that would be helpful’’

The next few days passed without incident and for some reason no one tried to follow up on what I had done to the human in the training area, during this time I was going around trying to find some books on magic but I was currently unable to find any, most people seemed to have stopped insulting kelriea when I was around I guessed this was because they were scared of what I may do to them, I would run into the fox man every now and again I found out his mane was kaito and he was from the kitsune tribe, he was at the academy as an exchange student from the tribe while a human noble was at his tribe learning about some of the non-secret arts from them, I also found out he was the son of the nine-tailed revered mother, this was the matron of his tribe as it was ruled by the female members as they were considerably stronger than the males.

I could feel then Turya was hurrying her fastest to come here and I was personally looking forward to her arrival.
