Ais was floating on the surface of water with her head out while other body was underwater. She looked around and no matter where her eyes went, she could only saw water. She then shook her head and put such thing at the back of her head for now.
Ais: I know many things now. First, the reason why all monsters were able to sense me, and my location underwater was due to my body temperature. Now that I have hide it, they can no longer differentiate between me and other monsters.
Then she looked down and saw monsters swimming past her but completely ignoring her. She nodded and continued.
Ais: Second, Mermen ae the strongest monsters here. And if I will try to approach them in 5 meters, they will attack. Not only me but any other monster too. It's like 5 meters are their personal space or something.
Ais then saw how other monsters hastily change their way when a Merman swam towards their direction.
Ais: And it appears that other monsters also somehow knew that. Third, other monsters don't have such thing as person space. However, if you will try to touch them, they will attack. Fourth, blood. All these monsters can catch the scent of blood in water from a very long distance.
Then she thought about something.
Ais: Hmm. I think could use the time now that these monsters are not attacking me to try using magic in my eyes and to merge my wind magic into water instead of pushing it away.
Nodding her head, Ais dived back into water. She looked around and realized that even if the water was clean, she can't see too far away. The light or color of the water made it difficult for her to look far. The only thing she can guess was the location of faraway monster. And that was also by the light emitting from their eyes.
'Ais: Lord said I could see even in dirty water once I will learn to use magic on my eyes. Could it be that I can also see far with it? Let's try.'
Magic started to gather in Ais eyes. Once it covered every part of her eye completely, she looked around her.
Ais: Huh?
Nothing changed. Thing she could see were still the same. Same as it was before. Ais showed a confused expression and tried again. This time with even more concentrate. However, the result was still the same. In truth, even though Primis said he will teach her how to use magic in her eyes to see in water, it's not an easy as he said.
On the contrary, it's extremely difficult. It follows a completely different concept. After all, you are not just covering your eyes with magic to protect them, you also need to make your eyes remove unnecessary components like dust, light, or another thing present in water which prevents one for seeing further.
Hence, it's impossible for Ais to learn it. Even with Primis guidance, it will take months for Ais to learn it. Let alone now. And the thing of merging wind with water was even more difficult. So, all Ais attempts were and will be in vain. Though, she had no idea about such stuff and wasted all the 10 days of "Extreme Image Training" trying it.

Ais opened her eyes and realized that she had returned into the river. Seeing the reflection of the moon, her eyes started to turn heavy. "Extreme Image Training" put a heavy burden on one's brain. So, Ais had gotten mentally tired after using it now. As she was having hard time, opening her eyes, an irresistible force covered her pulled her upwards.
WHOOSH!!!
SPLASH!!!!
In the next moment, she was out of the river. She turned and saw Primis sitting at the side while leaning on the tree. Ophis was still sitting on his left-shoulder while Sheng Ming was sitting on the very branch of that tree with a book in her hand.
Ais: My Lord, I----
Primis: Later. Come here.
Ais followed his commanded and walked to him. When she reached him, Primis pulled her and put her head on his lap.
Primis: For now, rest. We will talk later.
Ais: ...Mn.
Ais wanted to say something. However, in the end she complied.
Primis: Send your equipment back and return to your casual clothes.
Ais nodded and sent her equipment back into the soul. Then she activated the purple ribbon which was tied by Primis at the right side of her hair and casual clothes appeared. Then drowsing struck her and she fell asleep.
Ais: ZZ...ZZ...…ZZ...ZZ
Primis put his right hand on her head and started to caress her gently.
'Primis: Good thing, at Level 1 she can only use "Extreme Image Training" for 1 min(in real world)/10 days. And for one time only per day.'
[That's how you made it using the power of your Sharingan, Elemental Sight, and Image Training. 10 days truly pushed her to the limit of her mental Strength.]
'Primis: Yes. On top of that, what you learn and experience during that time is worth it.'
[Agreed.]
Primis kept on caressing Ais while looking at her cute sleeping face with a gentle smile. Ais who was sleeping sensed the warmth of his hand and subconsciously a smile appeared on her face. She moved her body a little to get into a more comfortable position. Primis shook his head seeing this.
'Primis: This girl.'
Though the smile was still present on his face. He moved his body a little and adjusted her. Once acquiring the desired position, she stopped and went even deeper into the dream land.
'Primis: Even though I only took her under me because I thought she was great 'tool', I never thought I will start to get attach to her.'
[It's a good thing.]
Primis didn't reply. He just raised his head and looked at the moon through the barrier.
'Primis: Though I am still wondering whether it's a really good thing or not.'
[......…]
Twilight became silent and didn't answer. Primis also didn't want any answer either.

DING!!
DING!!
DING!!
Hephaestus was fully concentrated on her work in her workshop. The deadline Primis gave her to create Lili and Haruhime's weapons isn't easy to meet. On the contrary, its extreme difficult. And now that the deadline was almost near, she became even more tense. Good thing her Divine Flame understood Hephaestus situation and was also trying its best to not make any mistake.
SSSS!!!!!!!
Hephaestus put the one of lava hot metals into the water to let it cool while pulling out the other one which she put some time ago in the water. Once pulling that out, she put that metal into her Divine fire. After it became hot enough, Hephaestus continued hammering it.
DING!!
DING!!
DING!!
Hestia was standing 3-4 meters away from Hephaestus. The cold-water bottle Primis gave her was put at side on the table. The water inside it was not only half empty but had also turned from cold to lukewarm by now. Even though Hestia was looking seriously at Hephaestus work, her mind was pre-occupied with other thoughts.
'Hestia: A Seer. Huh. Never thought I will have one in my Familia. It can help my Hestia Familia a lot. After all, after reading the Excelia of Lili and Haruhime, I knew that they went through life and death situation every single time to became strong fast. Too fast too be more accurate. Level 2 in just two days. It's insane. Seer can help them by already notifying them whether they will die because of their recklessness in future or not.'
She then frowned.
'Hestia: Even though Seer is really a best person to help Lili and Haruhime, they won't live for so long. And since she will be my Familia member, I won't let her die. I need to think of some precautions. First, I need to make sure that the identity of Seer remains hidden. Otherwise, it will be end of her.'
Hestia expressions were becoming more serious.
'Hestia: The power of Seer can be used in two ways. First, Active way. Means she herself will try to see the future. Second, Passive way. If a life threating danger is approaching Seer, then her power activates itself and show her the future. By doing this Seer might be able his or her life but it's a double-edged sword. In case too many dangers were approaching Seer, then her power will keep on notifying her again and again and again. As a result, her life force will be used up before any Assassination attempt will succeed. In other words, even if you can't kill Seer, you just need to keep on sending Assassins. She will die automatically after some time. That's why this information should be remain hidden.'
Hephaestus: Hestia.
Hestia: Huh?
Hestia came out of her thoughts when Hephaestus called. She was so deep in her thought that she didn't even realize that Hephaestus not only done with the metal she was hammering but also done hammering the next one too. Hephaestus raised her brow when she saw Hestia was thinking seriously about something. In other times, she would have asked but not now.
Hephaestus: Your turn.
Understanding Hephaestus words, Hestia approached her and saw two weapons near the divine fire. They were a normal dagger and folding fan. Though there were many markings on top of them. Well, instead of marking, it will be more correct to say, hieroglyphs were written across the blade part of both weapons. Hestia brought her hand to the dagger and picked it. Since these weapons once again went through cooling process, they were not hot. After picking it, Hestia turned to Hephaestus.
Hestia: I only need to let it absorb my blood, right?
Hephaestus: Yes.
Hestia: Ok.
Hestia than use the pointed tip of the dagger to prick her index finger. The moment she did so, blood started to flow out of her finger. Yet, instead of falling, it was absorbed by the blade. With time, more and more blood was absorbed by the dagger. The blood it absorbed was a lot more than what Bell's "Hestia Knife" took. That's because every single material Primis provided to Hephaestus were top-notched. It was too the point that some were never even heard of before.
Once dagger absorbed the required amount of blood, hieroglyphs written on it started to glow.
Hephaestus: That's enough. You can continue to do the same for the fan.
Hestia nodded and gave the dagger to Hephaestus. Then she picked up the folding fan and let it absorb the blood too.
(*T/N: The reason why the growth weapons took too much blood of their God or Goddess blood is because since the Gods in lower world have mortal bodies, the divinity in their blood is as little as 1/100. On the other hand, if they have released their Arcanum then growth weapons won't even require one drop of their blood.)
While Hestia was letting the fan absorb her blood, Hephaestus picked up one of the two vials placed on the table. These vials contained Lili's and Haruhime's blood. The Vial Hephaestus picked had a tag on it. On the tag, Lili's name was written. She opened the vial and pour the blood in it on the still glowing dagger in her hand.
When the blood touched the dagger, it started to absorb it. Once all the blood was absorbed, the light emitted by the dagger changed. Dagger shone brightly before all light faded. Hephaestus nodded seeing this.
Hestia: Hephaestus, it's also done.
Hephaestus picked another vial which had Haruhime blood in it and walked towards Hestia.
'Hephaestus: With this, 90% of the work is done.'
