Chapter 25: Special Training I

"Do you remember what I taught you last time?"

She said before glancing behind herself and looking toward me. The leaves rustled behind us. For some odd reason, we were outside rather than in our houses.

"Uh... Let me try and jog my memory for a bit."

"Mm."

She said with a nod before continuing to lead me into the forest as the leaves under her feet began to crunch with every step of hers.

"I believe you said something along the lines of magic and mana are not the same!"

"Half correct. What I actually said was that magic and mana particles are different."

"Because of the stingy wizards!"

I said as she turned towards me and began to chuckle a bit. 

"That's funny. But that's not really stingy. More so prideful."

'So wizards are like Vegeta... Prideful, arrogant, and always underestimating the abilities of their enemy.'

I thought to myself as I continued to follow her.

"But since I'm not trying to propagandize you with some anti-magic propaganda, it should be said that not all wizards are like that, though there is a large segment of wizards that are grumpy and prideful old stooges."

I nodded.

"Hey Iffy, how are you so smart?"

She turned towards me.

"It's just what my father and mother wanted me to know, nothing more than that."

I nodded.

"But since you're going to be asking me questions about my character, I'll do the same. Satsuki why do you have such a squeaky voice?"

I stared at her as a leaf passed in between the two of us.
"Uh..."

I literally had no answer to that question.

"Seriously. It's weird thinking that one of those other-worlders that I used to worship as a child would have such a squeaky voice."

"Uh..."

I still had nothing to say, but I was increasingly more and more unwilling to reply.

"But then again. You guys are from another world, so things are definitely different there. It's a world where a shortie like you, cou-"

"I'm not short! I'm average height!"

"I was going to make that point. You are from a world where a cute short girl like you is just of average height, while I'm from a world of magic and kings. Two completely different worlds, but I'm glad that we got the chance to meet each other."

"Iffy."

My heart began to flutter with emotion.

'Wait, that really sounds like a death flag.'

My intrusive thoughts took over.

"Uh. I think it's way too early for you to be glad to meet me. After all, you don't even know about any of the weird and nasty habits! Did you know, I sing when I shower? And did-"

"Even so, I would still accept you. Though, singing while you shower isn't really something weird. It's just something that a lot of rich people do out of boredom."

She said as she batted a glance towards the side and continued to walk. I followed after her.

"Now we are here."

"Here? What's here?"

I looked over her shoulder and my eyes widened at the exact moment I saw what she had led me to.

"What? Is it your first time seeing a lake?"

"Uh. No. I wasn't expecting that this would be the thing that you would be taking me to. Also, I'm pretty sure this isn't a lake but a river."

"Lake, river. Does the difference really matter? It's just the same thing in my book."

She commented before dipping her toes into the water.

"Also, I won't be going in the lake."

She glanced at me.
"Why not? It's going to be fun."

"True. But I already showered today."
"Oh, I see. But if you want to join me in the lake you could go ahead. Though are you really sure that you want to be up there by yourself?"

"I should be fine."

I commented before she chuckled.

"Alright. I'll stop pushing it on you."

"Good."

As Iffy began to bathe I walked away from the lake and stared off into the distance by myself. The morning was beautiful. Surprisingly so. It was as if a star had explored before me, and I had taken a picture at the moment of its bright implosion. I found myself in a trance as I began to look into the morning sky as birds began to wisp across the horizon.

"Alright, how about we begin now."

I turned back and stared at Iffy.

"Eh? You're done showering?"

I said in shock and stood up. I stared at her in disbelief as she began to chuckle.

"You misunderstood. I wasn't showering at all, I was just getting my body in touch with nature for what I'm going to do with you."

I stared at her confused.

"What do you mean by that?"

I said even more confused.

"Magic is conducted best by a perceptive individual, and when in super cold water just like that lake, one becomes an in-depth master when it comes to utilizing their magic."

I nodded.

"So it's kind of like stretching before a workout."

"Yeah. It's like that."

She said as she began to scratch her neck before sitting at my side.

"You should teach me everything you know about magic!"

I said and she stared at me confused before chuckling for a bit.

"Of course, after all, you're so enthusiastic. It's as if I'm looking back at my past self with the way you are acting. Ah, those days..."

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just recalling memories of a much simpler time."

She said before standing up and extending her hand toward me.

"But, enough depression! Let's train you on how to use magic!"
"Aye! I'll learn magic!"
