Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Electricity training

Year 398 of the Holy Calendar - Waterfall on the southeastern continental edge

(Ifrit POV)

"..." Alastor

My partner is standing in the middle of the stream that leads to the waterfall.

"..." Ifrit

Outside the water current, I supervise his training.

"Here comes one!" Ifrit

"..." Alastor

A fish comes this way as he keeps his feet inside the water with his eyes closed.

"...ghh" Alastor

*zip*

Some sparkles come out of his fingers.

"..." Ifrit

"GHUAAAHHHWWWW" Alastor

Together with his scream of pain, electricity covers his whole body and the water close by.

"..." Ifrit

The target is hit.

"GHHHHHH!!!!"

The fish stops swimming for one second but recovers in the next.

*Splash*

"Haaah, haah, haa..." Alastor

Alastor falls to his knees exhausted.

"*hah* That was... *hah* a close one..." Alastor

As a fire spirit, I can use lightning with little effort.

"Remember, fire and lightning are basically the same thing. It is just a different way of consumption to produce energy" Ifrit

"I got it, the only difference is that fire is a weapon of destruction while lightning is closer to a crafting tool " Alastor

But like a human being whose body is controlled primarily by thousands of tiny electrical connections that constantly intercommunicate, Alastor suffers a bout of excruciating pain every time he tries to control it.

"Just a little bit more and I will make it jump" Alastor

Even with that handicap, I must accept that his learning speed is accelerating.

The first stage of the training consisted of him causing any body reaction from a dead monster. This stage lasted about half a year, mostly because of the unbearable pain.

The second stage of the training incorporated stopping the movement of small animals. This stage lasted a few months, the failures lost their lives and served as food.

The third stage of the training involved manipulating the movements of the monsters in contact with him. This stage only lasted weeks, the time he can control them is no more than 17 minutes.

The fourth and current stage consists of making a swimming fish jump without touching it. It has been only a few days and he is already grasping the concept behind it.

The last stage probably will only take some hours.

"The day is already ending, let's begin with the next training" Ifrit

Of course, that wasn't the only thing to train.

"I am ready" Alastor

He comes out of the river and approaches me as I get closer to him.

"Synchro!" Alastor
"Synchro!" Ifrit

Our handshake summons the purple fire that involves us immediately.

......

...

[Did you sleep well?]

I woke up two days after the Synchro in his red scarf, we have to be careful not to use too much energy or I'd be out for a long time.

[How was it]

hmmm.

{45%}

[Oh, it went up]

The power of our combined form is equal to the synchrony of our minds.

{It is still too low}

I get out of him and morph into my humanoid form.

"We can fix it" Alastor

?

"What's wrong with your head?" Ifrit

He got a ponytail, but unlike me, his hair is longer.

"We need to be in synchro don't we?" Alastor

"...I didn't mean it physically" Ifrit

He keeps his training on the river.

"It could work, we have to try everything we can" Alastor

I don't know if he is serious, but...

"Whatever" Ifrit

"Jijiji" Alastor

......

...

With the sunset above us, Alastor finally mastered this stage.

"Uff, That was intense" Alastor

The sweat all over his body is a witness to that.

"The next stage will be different, it will be more focused on control than strength" Ifrit

In brain control to be exact.

"Should we do the Synchro now or wait until tomorrow after you explain it to me?" Alastor

He gets out of the water and gets closer to me.

"?" Ifrit

"?" Alastor

We both feel two humans floating down the river...

No, they aren't exactly humans.

"We have to help them!" Alastor

They are a beastmen and a demihuman child.
