Chapitre 20: Ariel
In the morning courtyard, an unknown and beautiful scene appeared calmly.
The wind was forming.
The wind was gathering.
The visible air currents danced like mischievous fairies, suddenly blowing here from all directions and ensnaring Ais.
In this wind visible to the naked eye, the blonde hair of the girl, wrapped in gentle breezes, flew up and down like golden sand.
The scene was as beautiful as a painting.
"That's my magic."
Ais's entire body was wrapped in wind, as if she had transformed into a wind spirit, and she spoke.
Riegel stared sharply at the wind around Ais, and memories in his mind became active.
[Ariel].
This was the only magic Ais could use, additional magic.
What's called additional magic is a magic that can add a specific magical attribute to the user or the object it touches, thereby gaining the magical power and thus enhancing its capabilities.
Ais's [Ariel] is this type of magic, which is an additional magic with the wind attribute.
This magic has only one incantation, an ultra-short incantation among short incantations. Therefore, this magic can be activated very quickly, and its activation difficulty can be said to be very low among many magics.
And when this additional magic is activated, the caster can gain protection from the wind, acquire magical power from the wind attribute, control the wind, let the wind wrap around the body and weapon, but also use it to aid in attacks, increase speed, and even enable the user to fly short distances. It could be said to be a combination of attack, defense, acceleration, and assistance. Almost omnipotent except for long-range attacks.
Now, this magic was displayed in front of Riegel, capturing his attention.
At this moment, he felt it.
His own memories began to move.
"Tempest."
As if blessed wholeheartedly, Riegel naturally chanted the ultra-short incantation he had just heard a few seconds ago.
The awakened memories immediately responded to this incantation.
The wind blew again.
But this time, the material wind from the atmosphere came from all directions, initially weak, but then becoming increasingly spectacular, wrapping around Riegel's standing body.
"My magic..."
Ais's beautiful big eyes widened unconsciously.
Seeing Riegel, just like herself, trapped in the gentle breeze of wind and enveloped by the flowing atmosphere, Ais couldn't speak for a long time.
Not only Ais.
The two people in the courtyard were unaware that, in reality, the windows of several rooms above the mansion were open, allowing a line of sight out to see here.
"Did it really work?"
Loki watched Riegel successfully use Ais's magic, her facial expression quite amusing.
"Did the newcomer really use Ais's magic?"
"Now there's something interesting to watch."
The Amazoness twin sisters also peeked into the room and saw all of this clearly.
"Tsk."
Bete turned around to leave.
Finn, Riveria, and Gareth gathered in the same room, looking at the man and woman entwined in the wind in the courtyard, exchanging glances.
"It worked." Finn said with emotion. "It seems that the magic possessed by our newcomer might be the best in the entire Familia in terms of uniqueness alone."
"Isn't that normal?" Gareth hugged his thick arms and muttered. "He can even learn Ais magic. Isn't that kid just like Ais, not a pure human?"
Hearing this, Riveria didn't say anything but looked at Riegel and Ais, slightly frowning.
She knew very well how special Ais's magic was.
At first glance, it seemed like just a very common additional magic. There was nothing special about it. Additional magic was not a very rare magic. Even if there were not a hundred adventurers with additional magic in Orario, there must be dozens of them, and Ais wasn't the only one in Loki Familia who had additional magic.
But compared to that additional magic, Ais's additional magic was very different.
The ultra-short incantation was just one feature of this magic.
The actual uniqueness of this magic would never be seen with the naked eye like this.
"Riegel Brehaut?" Riveria murmured and said, "I don't know if learning Ais's magic is a good or bad thing."
Both Finn and Gareth fell silent.
Shortly after, Finn led in breaking the silence.
"Anyway, our Familia has gained a genius with very high potential, and that's a good thing." Finn smiled slightly and said, "If you train him well, he might become another pillar of the Familia that can take over us in the future."
"Yes." Gareth stroked his long beard, smiling, and said, "I finally understand. When Loki gathered us all and introduced that kid in front of us, she must not have just asked us to teach him magic."
"She wants us to focus on training him?" Riveria looked at Finn and asked, "What will you do, Finn?"
"For now, I don't plan on doing anything special." Finn bit his thumb, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It's only been two days since he joined the Familia, and only two days since he received the Blessing. Now is the stage when he lays the foundation and clarifies his own direction. It's not good for us to interfere recklessly."
"Oh?" Gareth raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you worried that we'll raise him improperly?"
"That's right." Riveria agreed with Finn's statement and said, "We don't know enough about him, and his combat system hasn't formed yet. If we intervene casually, he might be influenced by us."
Your own path might not be suitable for others.
It could be said that everyone should have their own development and their own path, and that path is the most suitable for them.
Riegel is still not mature now, and the time for development is too short. Before his development and position are clear, if he is too influenced by others, he might start a path that is completely unsuitable for him.
This is bad and must be stopped.
Therefore, Finn does not plan to intervene too early in Riegel's growth stage.
"I'll talk to Loki later and see if she can reveal something." Finn then smiled and said, "Looking at her attitude yesterday, there must be something special about Riegel that we don't know. Yes, we need to understand him first before we can make a plan."
"Is there anything else the boy is hiding?" Gareth said with anticipation. "What could it be? It's really intriguing!"
"Maybe because of skills, or maybe other magic." Riveria said, thinking, "Either way, something is wrong with Loki's attitude."
The three of them made plans to face Riegel in a few words.
This also indicates that from now on, Riegel is officially seen by the senior management of the Familia and receives attention.
However, those lurking in the darkness do not know that they are still underestimating Riegel.
What happens next will shatter their understanding of Riegel and make them realize again what is special about him.
...
Ais still stared at Riegel, who was wrapped in the wind, checking his current status, with a complicated look in her eyes.
"You really learned..."
It's hard for Ais to describe her current mood.
Seeing someone using "wind" magic like herself, Ais found it difficult to feel happy, instead feeling a bit sad.
However, this magic held extraordinary significance for her.
Ais could only suppress the emotions welling up in her heart and glanced at the sword in Riegel's hand from the corner of her eye.
After her eyes blinked for a moment, she pondered briefly and then looked directly at him.
"Wanna try?"
Ais said this.
Riegel, who was observing himself and curious about his changes, heard Ais's words and immediately understood her intention.
"Draw your sword." Ais said, "Let me see what your wind is like."
Saying so, Ais unsheathed her sword, letting the bright silver blade out.
However, she didn't hold onto the sword but instead gripped her scabbard, lifted it, and tossed her sword to the side.
Seeing this, Riegel's eyes lit up.
The person in front of him was the strongest swordswoman in Orario, a true first-class adventurer.
Ais was powerful.
At least, for Riegel at this moment, Ais was an object that was difficult to reach no matter what.
Regardless of anything else, the level difference between them was vast, and they were definitely not comparable.
After someone levels up, the increase in strength could be considered the evolution of the entire body.
Therefore, in this world, even a one-level gap was significant.
Not to mention that his opponent was a Level 5 first-class adventurer, while Riegel was a Level 2 third-class adventurer. Currently, Riegel had almost no chance of winning.
But why?
When facing a strong opponent, he could challenge himself at any time—wasn't this kind of thing very exciting?
Riegel's heartbeat started to quicken, and the familiar feeling of joy emerged in his heart.
"Please give me more advice."
As the long sword was drawn, Riegel opened his position without hesitation and aimed the sharp tip of the sword at Ais's throat.
A slight chill gradually appeared in his eyes, along with the contrasting joy in his heart.
"..."
Ais, who was posing casually, seemed to sense something. Her heart tensed, and her body slightly stiffened.
She felt like she was being targeted by a wild beast.
Although not too powerful or dangerous, that feeling still made her unconsciously tighten her heart.
At this moment, Riegel stepped on the ground beneath his feet, bringing the wind that enveloped his body, and rushed toward Ais.
The air currents exploded, and with the blessing of magic, Riegel's body turned into a bullet, shooting directly towards his shrinking opponent, announcing the beginning of the battle.
