We are supposed to be training

As Zara and I left the manor I followed Zara in relative silence for a few hours as I was busy looking around with amazement, in my previous life I lived in a city and only went out to the country side a many times as I could count on one hand. Zara was oddly silent her cat tail swishing back and forth a wicked grin flashed on my face as I grabbed her tail which caused her to shriek in suprise, "M..mistress..?" Her eyes like golden globes. "Hmm? Does it feel good Zara?" I slide my hand to the base of her tail the soft textured fur in my grasp as Zara shudderd.

"Mmm yes.. it does mistress." I heard her start purring she then backed up into me her rear grinding on my crotch. "Mistress when are you going to take my virginity?"

As Zara said that I released her tail and walked past her with my arms crossed.

"Oh who knows maybe if I can succeed in my efforts during this training trip I might reward you." a teasing grin spead across my face.

With that Zara nodded she had a smile on her face as we continued our walk. After another few hours we found a clearing and set up camp I then proceeded to sit in the center of the clearing and concentrate on my mana core, once again my consciousness made it's way down to my center as I saw the now many times bigger orb of bluish white energy and two smaller orbs gravitating around my core. These two orbs one was bigger than the other the orb containing my affinity to Ice looked like a crystalline sea of frozen icicles intertwining with each other. The other and slightly smaller orb was simply a mass of black voidlike energy.

Soon I began to try to shape these various energies into physical objects, first I imagined an weapon from my past life a dual sided thin blade with a slightly curved guard and a hilt with a circular pommel then as I crafted this imaginary Jian type sword in my head I combined bits and pieces of my affinity mana into this imprint, all of a sudden I heard a dinging noise only to see a few ethereal notifications infront of my face,

"Ding You have attained skills Create Ice Armament, Create Darkness Armament. Theses skills have merged into

Create Umbra Frost Armament. Your skill Shadow Manipulation has evolved into Shadow control, you have also gained a skill called Ice Manipulation."

"Whoa.." I muttered to myself. Seems like it's easy to get stronger, as I was lost in thought I heard some rustling from the nearby brush, something foreign as I could sense Zara on the other side of the camp cutting some fire wood. I instantly decided to meld into the nearby shadows to investigate.

As I moved from Shadow to Shadow I peered through some bushes only to see a group of humans wearing various leathers brandishing swords and knives. In a hushed voice one of the human men started to whisper to the others, "In the clearing up ahead our scout noticed a couple of beauties we could sell for a lot of coin. Only kill them if you have to.." in the shadows literally right next to this group I thought to myself how cliche this situation is as a wicked smile crest across my face I activated my skill Shadow control which created a mass of darkness coving the entire group I also summoned my Umbra Frost Armament forging it into a sickly scimitar with some jagged teeth on the edge.

As the mass of Shadow covered the area the bandits were stationed some screamed in terror most were just spooked as they were effectively blinded unable to see anything but darkness. One of them, the man from before spoke up, "Who did this! We have no quarrel with you!" I laughed maniacally then steadied myself as I approached slowly my Umbra Frost scimitar at my side, "You have no quarrel with me?" I said questioningly, "You target me and my maid yet you say you have no quarrel with me.. don't worry you can repent." I said sweetly. "The man spoke again, "We are sorry we had no idea such a strong expert was out in this forest..." his words came to an abrupt stop as I beheaded him and spoke, "Only with your lives." I activated my ice Manipulation and made the humidity in the air chill as the water droplets started freezing the bandits to the ground and one by one I brutally and without mercy I executed all of them all but one.

Silence descended on the small clearing as a strong metallic scent filled the area, with a snap of my fingers the globe of darkness disappeared allowing for the only living bandit able to see my approach with my frosted black scimitar and the all the corpses of his companions scattered around her, I had formed around her feet keeping her in place, scared she started crying and pleading, "P...please... do..nt kill me.. I'll do anything!"

"Anything you say?" Still grinning wickedly as I was now face to face with her, she looked to be some sort of elf she had long white hair and bright blue eyes she was also rather muscular. "Serve me and I'll spare your life." The elf woman nodded as snapped my fingers dispelling the ice build up I then took her weapons and ordered her to loot her comrades corpses all while my aura of dominance was activated.

The elf woman then proceeded to loot the corpse at this point Zara rushed in and her eyes were wide open as she saw the many corpses and her eyes landed on my as I waved to her.

"Mistress.. did you do all this?" She asked still stunned. "I did." Now that Zara was here I unsummoned my Shadow frosted blade.

Zara then looked to the Elf who was still looting her companions as she was told, "Mistress who is that?" With jealous eyes.

"The only bandit I spared as for her name I still haven't asked, in return for me sparing her she has pledged to serve me. Don't look at me like that my little kitten I know my priorities and my promise still stands.." I say all while knowing my aura of dominance is still active.

Zara's cheeks flushed red then coughed, "G..ood Im.. glad."

A few moments later the elf girl returned placing several weapons, armours and coins in a pile infont of me, I then waved my right hand over the pile absorbing everything into my storage ring.

My aura still active, "Good girl.. what is your name?"

"My name is Hestia mistress." As she kneeled in front of me this act surprising me slightly, "Hestia.. you are being rather submissive.. I would have thought you would be defiant at least slightly or try to stab me in the back when I was talking to Zara."

"I know mistress is strong, stronger than me and in this world strength reigns supreme so this lowly one knows if I want to survive I should do my best to please you mistress." With a satisfied grin on my face all three of us headed back to camp.
