Arpious of the Planes

[Day 31]

Yesterday was pretty uneventful after I ordered Paimon to gather more materials for assimilations. Since the sun was starting to set, I had dinner with my wives and then took a bath right after.

Sophia also came up to me after my bath and asked for the clothing design that I wanted. She handed me a piece of leather and something that looked similar to a pencil, which I then drew the maid clothing that you would see on earth… well maybe only maid cafes.

I then went to sleep after enjoying the night with my wives.

*sigh*

"I should check on the army that is gathering,"

I sit up from my throne and walk out of my castle, seeing the sun right above me. It was a hot day but I was only able to tell due to the many citizens that are waving at me, sweating bullets.

Since walking around town bore no fruit, I activated my feathered wings and flew around my kingdom. I eventually saw a large organized crowd of armored citizens near the front of my kingdom.

I also noticed that the wall around my kingdom had finished building. The only way to leave the kingdom was through the 3 gates towards the east, south, and west. They were about 5 meters tall which was more than enough for most monsters. Also, many knights were patrolling on top of the wall, making sure nothing was trying to invade the kingdom.

"It seems the leaders have been doing their work properly. Even stationing guards on top of the wall just in case… wait, what am I even doing as the queen. Shouldn't I be signing documents or something… *sigh* let's just get this done first," I say while landing next to the slowly growing army.

"ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!" says the army while quickly kneeling on one knee.

All I do is nod while gesturing for them to rise. I observed the entire army and saw that the heat was getting to them. Most of them looked like they were going to faint, so I had an idea. It would be a mix of training and help them cool off. It seems like a juxtaposition but my idea might work.

*clap* *clap*

"All right everybody! Do you want to train but also cool off from this scorching day!?"

Everybody pumps their fist with enthusiasm so I take it as a yes.

[Weather Manipulation: Wind and Rain]

A dark rain cloud forms above the army as everybody sighs in relief. Even just blocking out the sun for a split second enabled them to relax but they couldn't do that for long. A strong wind picked up and I manipulated it so it was just a light breeze, don't want to whip up a tornado right now.

Soon the army of about 500 warriors turned their smiles upside down as rain started to fall. They would've normally smiled at the rain starting to fall, but when the rain landed on them, it was like getting punched.

The rain was so hard that some had trouble just standing up.

"We'll continue this for 30 minutes and if you can survive, I'll grant you a prize…" I say.

The army soon pumped their fist once again as they gave all their might in trying to resist the rain. If they didn't have the thick metal armor, some would've already died by now.

…

Only 10 minutes had passed and about 5% of the 500 warriors were knocked out. Soley their armor was keeping them alive this entire time. The rest were doing fine with some just brushing off the rain like it was just a drizzle.

Maybe I could have a sparring session with the ones that adapted to this training quickly.

Surprisingly nobody has tried to leave the rainy area. All of them were persistent which made a small grin creep onto my face.

"M-my queen, should I heal the ones that are bleeding?" I hear a voice from behind me.

Since I was out of the dark clouds range, anybody who wasn't in the army could come up to me and talk. Once I turned around, I saw Ichika and Akito who were watching the training from behind me.

"There's no purpose in this being training if they can just heal right back up. Plus I'm weeding out the weak ones so I can personally see some of the outstanding talents," I said to Ichika.

"As you wish," she replies.

"Have you been training them? They seem much stronger than I remember," I ask Akito who was right beside Ichika.

"Yes, I have personally been trying to keep the morale up while making sure they are in tip-top shape. I thought my training was hard but yours my queen looks extremely hard. It also uses the rain to help cool them down on this hot day. I would've never thought of a plan like this," Akito replies.

"I mean, it wasn't that hard to think of," I say while continuing to watch the army.

…

Finally, 30 minutes had passed and about 15% of the original 500 warriors were unconscious. Many looked relieved that the training was over, while some had a look of joy and pride that they completed my training.

"Ichika, heal them," I order.

"As you wish," she says while running up to the army that had all sat down in exhaustion.

A golden glow enveloped her hand but instead of placing it on one person, she points her palms into the sky. A golden beam shoots up and then disperses into tiny golden particles that heal the unconscious and wounded warriors.

"My queen, forgive my rudeness, but is there a reason you didn't use your white fire? You could've instantly healed them with just a snap of your fingers," Akito asks.

"It's a secret, for now, let's just say I can't use it for a while," I say with a smile.

Akito nods while I walk up to some of the warriors that were still standing. There were 3 exactly who was standing proud and tall. There was one elven woman and two Amazonians.

The elven woman surprised me since she didn't seem like the type who could resist the hard rainfall. The two Amazonians were massive but weren't like Akio who was bulky and wide, they were more tall and muscular. If they were on earth, they would be a model, no doubt about it.

First, I walked up to the elven woman and asked her what she did since I was curious.

I grinned as soon as I saw that she had partial mastery of a weapon. She also had a skill and title I have never heard of, making me even more curious.

"Great job, Zoe…

…

… Adam, and Aaron," I said.

"I am not worthy of your praise, your highness," says Zoe.

"Thank you, your praise means a lot to us, your highness," says Adam and Aaron.

"First, I have a question for Zoe,"

Zoe stiffens up once I said her name so I placed my hand on her shoulder.

"It's alright, I'm just asking a simple question. How did you survive the rain, the two Amazonians over there I can understand, but you, I'm intrigued about," I say.

Zoe takes a deep breath in and out before answering my question calmly.

"It is an honor to answer your question, your highness. It is due to my skill that I have trained hard to obtain, [Gale Walk]. It lets you turn into the wind and lets you avoid anything it touches. The downside is that it is extremely hard to control.

Since you essentially turn into the wind, any breeze that goes by will hinder your ability to walk in a straight line. I have been able to overcome any small breeze though, due to my extensive training and my mastering it. Once you master it you get the [One with the Wind] title- Oh, forgive me your highness on rambling about something trivial," Zoe says while bowing profusely.

"What are you talking about, that was nice information to have. I also noticed that you have partial dagger mastery which in my opinion, is much more impressive than the [Gale Walk] skill,"

"I am not worthy of your praise, your highness," Zoe says humbly with a small smile on her face.

Though she barely displayed it, she was happy.

"Now onto the rewards!"
