Chapter 13: Spirits Arts

"I had heard that you had left the village from one of the letters that Miss Maria sent me but I never expected to see you here in the capital." Said Isabella as she continued the conversation. "Yeah no better to improve than go at it against the world, atleast that's what I think." Added Ace.

They continued their conversation for another half hour at a café nearby. "Wow you really had it rough?" said Isabella with awe and surprise in her tone, "Yeah but it was still fun. But seriously to think that you awakened as a spirits arts user, now that is something if you add that you're a triple elemental mana user." Answered Ace.

After that seeing the time, Isabella went back home and split up with Ace. "So that girl has three attributes and is a spirits arts user?" asked Ryu with an intrigued tone, "Yep she has wind, water and light attributes. She was already quite a genius back in the village but now she must atleast be a quasi-master-level mage and she's only a year younger than me." Answered Ace with a hint of interest and pride in his tone.

"A quasi? No way that's right I can tell that girl, in a few years she might become a sage-level mage the highest level a mage can achieve not only that but her aura is similar to that old man. Maybe…. No let's not think about it, but if my reasoning is true then it would quite a twist of fate. I'm sure my old master would agree while laughing." thought Ryu while imagining a certain man.

At night in a certain room, "Oh hey you're back Isabella. You stayed out late than usual." Said Mira, Isabella's roommate. "Yeah I met an old friend in the city and we ended talking a bit." Answered Isabella as Mira looked at her with curiosity. "I'll go take a bath and then I'll go to sleep." Said Isabella while yawning.

After her bath, she dried her hair and wore her pajamas then she went straight to bed. As she fell asleep, she found herself in wide space with water spreading as far as the eye can see with a clear blue sky and clouds. There were cracked stone pillars spread out and a throne on which was embedded a greatsword, and on its seat was a man shrouded in a misty blue hue.

"That boy is quite strong, I'd dare say that in fighting capabilities alone he is only ways away from my level, so what would you like to discuss Isabella?" said the mysterious man. "I have yet to master your powers as my spirit partner so I still need you to train me, Rotsguard." Answered Isabella while also perplexed about her spirit's sudden interest in her friend.

"Okay, you have already mastered most of my powers however for the spirit assimilation there is still much you and I have yet to learn and acquire but I'm sure that at some point we will figure it out. Well for now let's go through the usual regimen." Said Rotsguard as they start their training. "Yes sir." Immediately answered Isabella. And so a new start is about to begin.
