[Chapter 87] That’s Why

It's been 1 day since then and Winter has mastered using the scythe....not as good as me though.

"So Kurayami, what are we going to do today?" She asks, curious. I smile as I say the answer that she has been wanting to hear.

"We are going to try and get you to transform." Her eyes go wide as she hears me say the sentence, as if she didn't expect it. I quickly remind her, "That was our original goal, wasn't it?"

She takes a second before nodding. I close my eyes and slowly transform into my semi-human form and try to memorize how it feels, from the scales leaving my skin, the horns extending on my head, and the wings piercing through my back. I hear a gasp and glance over to see Winter awestruck as if she is looking at her idol.

I smirk as I finish transforming, standing there in my semi-human form smiling. I then notice that the entire arena, that was once filled with the sound of weapons hitting each other has stopped. I look around to see everyone is staring at me with awe and confusion. I then hear some of the murmurs from people that are closer to us.

"What the hell is that?"

"That? Don't you mean he? Anyway, whatever combination of parasite blood he has, it is definitely impressive, creating a new creature like that."

I ignore them as I remember the feeling of how I transform, the feeling of everything shifting and leaving my skin through my will. I am about to begin to explain to Winter, but she beats me to it, "How do you do it?! It looks so cool! Oooh, I wonder what I will look like. Will I be big?" She begins to ramble and I have to stop her, so I clap my hands together with all my strength.

Apparently that is to much as I hear it echo throughout the entire arena and the ones that had gotten back to training stare at me yet again. Apparently I dazed Winter because she is wobbling back and fourth in front of me.

'Perhaps I should avoid doing that.' I think as I cough, getting the already freaked out Winter's attention. "Okay, when I transform, I will it with my mind, imagining it is leaving my body's inside, in which it reacts and does exactly how I wanted. The system usually does it for me but I tried not to use it this time." I say and as I finish, she sighs as she looks disappointed.

And I hear why. "That's how my mom describes it, obviously without the system part." I stand there for a moment and ask her, "Is there any particular time it happens? Your random transformations?"

She thinks for a moment before nodding, "It usually begins when I get emotional such as excited or embarrassed but that is about the only times it happens other than randomly.

We begin to talk back and fourth and try different things before we eventually see a pattern and begin to harness it.

"So you only begin to transform when you feel a strong emotion consciously or subconsciously, such as hate, or fear, or excitement. I want you to imagine something exciting." She nods and closes her eyes, her face blushes as her hair suddenly turns silver. She opens her eyes and looks at her hair and smiles, then looking back at me has an excited look on her face.

"I did it!" I smile while trying to calm her down. "This is fantastic, but I don't think this is your limit, I think you can transform fully." She looks confused for a moment before I have an idea.

I walk forward and grab her arm with my scales hand, 'Inspect.' Suddenly a screen pops up.

'Heh, a zombie plague, wait a damn minute, this is not what I wanted to inspect!' I think as I close the box, just to see Winter with a red face.

I then grab her hand softly this time and use inspect.
