Grimoires/Scouts

—

"What exactly are you doing Rhya?" Fū asked as Rhya placed a needle in his arm that was filled with some sort of blue energy.

"Simple I'm awakening your magic like I did mine!" Rhya stated as he slowly injected the mana inside of Fū.

"When did you do that?" Fū asked

But he couldn't speak anymore as his veins started appearing from under his skin and his skin gained a reddish hue.

"AGH…WHATS HAPPENING RHYA?" Fū yelled out in pain.

"Your body is taking in mana and since we never had it to begin with all I had to do was awaken it with a catalyst, now our body's should produce and replenish mana like chakra!" Rhya said while observing the changes within Fū's body.

"While mana is something foreign for us what I discovered so far is something rather good, We can manipulate the pure mana inside our body's into the attribute we would like, But we can only do it once." Rhya added.

"AGHHH!" Fū yelled out in pain as the pure mana followed throughout his body.

-1 hour later-

Fū could be seen panting while sweat covered his body, While he lay in a chair.

"You could have at least warned me that something like that would've happened." Fū muttered.

"Well my body didn't react like yours did, Mine just accepted it but who knows could be help from my bloodline." Rhya weakly responded.

"Tch, well what were you saying about picking our own Magic?" Fū asked

"Oh about that! From my tests on the mana-less people at the camp I've gathered some results, We are being injected with pure mana as in mana with no sort of element or type, Therefore we can manipulate the pure mana now inside of us too whatever element we would like! We only have one try to pick what element we want though." Rhya explained.

"I see, what type of magic did you pick?" Fū questioned.

"I haven't picked one yet, but I have been going through a book on the noted types of magic." Rhya said.

*Creak*

*tap* *tap* *tap*

"Could we make our own type of magic?" Asked Tori as him and Torune walked in.

"Maybe, That's what I'm going to try." Rhya responded.

"Oh? and what kind of magic are you going to try and get?" Torune asked.

"I'm going for something like Sealing Magic, ya'know kind of runs in my blood." Rhya answered.

"I see, well let's get you two some mana while Fū goes over the types of magic." Rhya said with a smile that sent shivers down Tori and Torune's spines.

-2 Hours Later-

"So have y'all chosen what type of magic you want?" Rhya asked the trio in front of him.

"I'm going to Spatial Magic." Fū said while eyeing a page on all of the current known spatial mages and family's.

"What kind of Spatial Magic?" Tori asked

"Most likely Attack Spatial Magic and Supplementary, so we can get to places quicker and have a better chance fighting stronger mages." Fū explained

"Understandable, I myself wanted to try a new style of magic. Wire Magic it will work well with my Byakugan and for Assassination." Said Tori as he flipped through the pages of one of the books on Magic.

"Good, What about you Torune?" Rhya asked

"I was thinking about sticking to my roots and doing insect Magic." He said earning deadpan looks from the rest and a few mumbles from Fū

"Damn bug boy."

"Alright everyone get ready I have a place we should visit, So everyone get ready we have a place to be!" Rhya said while he changed into his Anbu uniform.

"Oh I have a few things to do before we leave." He added while flickering away.

—

" Where exactly are we Rhya?" Fū asked as he eyed the building in front of them.

It was a large circular building, It looked to be a broken down and abandoned from the growing vines and shrubbery slowly creeping up the sides of the building.

In front of the group stood a three meter tall set of double doors that appeared to be made out of wood and had metal accents around the sides and handles.

"This is a grimoire tower, it was the nearest one to the village we have been staying at!" Rhya happily explained.

"We had to run for a hour to find this place and it looks abandoned." Torune said.

"That it does. I wonder why it looks this way if grimoires are so valuable." Rhya answered with a mumbled.

"Could it perhaps have something to do with the work encampment?" Tori questioned

"Very high possibility that this kingdom is under some sort of military rule." Fū added in his own opinion.

"Enough of the talk let's investigate." Rhya said while pressing against the door.

*CREAK*

As the old doors moaned from the movement a thick cloud of dust came from inside of the building shrouding the men momentarily.

*Cough* *Cough* "what the hell is up with this dust?"

"Rhya do something please!" Fū ordered trying not to cough.

"On it." Rhya responded while making hand signs.

'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough.

*FWOOSH*

From Rhyas' mouth a powerful gale was released into the building pushing dust out from every corner of the worn down building.

"Alright let's go." Rhya said as he walked foward into the building.

Once they entered they were met with the sight of a stone floor full of cracks and all around the walls lay book shelves filled to the brim with books of many different colors. The top of the building was adorned with painted glass allowing a dismal amount of sunlight into the room. A old podium lay in the center of the room with aged candle wax on the floor around it.

"This looks rather odd." Torune said while looking at books lining the walls.

"Indeed it is, just look at all of these grimoires sitting on the shelves." Rhya said.

As they stepped in the middle of the room around the podium the room started to shake.

*RUMBLE*

*RUMBLE*

Getting on guard the group was prepared for a fight but instead, Four bright lights shined causing them to close their eyes.

"Damn!"

"Too bright!!"

"The hell?"

"Rhya what's going on?"

"Why are you asking me?"

As the lights calmed the group could slowly open their eyes and saw four books surrounded by different colored hues floating down towards them.

In front of Rhya, Was a red book adorned with golden etchings on each corner of the book.

The front of the book was etched with a Diamond symbol centered in the middle.

After some observation of the book Rhya was stunned, because on the back of the book was his clans symbol in all of its glory.

Similar situations happened to the others, Fū had a Auburn colored book with his clan symbol.

Tori had a all white book, with his clan symbol etched in the middle of the book.

Torune had a black colored book with depictions of small insects on it along with his clan symbol.

"Well thats unexpected." Rhya mumbled tracing over his clan symbol.

"Yeah it truly is so-" Fū cut himself off when he sensed three presences approaching the building.

"Someone is coming get ready." He ordered.
