I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Elysia walked over in front of Arsia so they could begin their duel. Elysia felt this was going to be a very one sided fight as she only used a bow at the moment and depending on what Arsia uses this could turn out to be very bad for her.

Elysia's heart began to beat faster since she was going to be judged on her performance and she did not want to let the instructor down. Although they did not like Himeko they could not pass up on some training.

"No need to be nervous, I just want you to display your abilities while I defend and protect yourself when I attack to see how you defend yourself." Arsia explained to Elysia how the duel will work which had put Elysia a little bit at ease.

Elysia pulled out her bow and so did Arsia. Elysia was rather impressed with her bow as the front of the bow was white while the back was a sky blue. The string also had a slight glow and white feathers could be seen coming off it on each end.

'Wish i had a cool looking bow.' Elysia was a little jealous of Arsia but she thought to herself that it will only be a matter of time till she gets her own cool looking bow.

"Enough looking and more moving." Arsia could see Elysia eyeing her bow and so she decided to fire the first shot to get Elysia moving.

Arsia had fired a basic wind arrow at Elysia which was blocked by Elysia's fire wall with ease.

'Been a while since I have had to use my firewall' Elysia had barely used her fire wall as she has never really been shot at.

However Elysia's view was obstructed by her fire wall and so 2 more wind arrows were fired wrapping around the wall.

'Shit.' Elysia quickly jumped back while raising another one, This time she did not stay still and began to run so she could see Arsia.

This time Arsia was preparing 3 arrows to fire and was tracing Elysia's movements. While running she was nocked an arrow to fire back at Arsia and since she was rather used to firing while moving she had no need to stop to fire.

Using [power shot] and [quick shot] together she jumped into the air and fired the fire arrow towards Arsia. She did not put much mana into the arrow out of fear of hurting Arsia.

The arrow launched at high speeds and Arsia was impressed with how accurate Elysia was despite moving let alone having so much power.

Arsia was also a little caught off guard so she had to use her wind to redirect the arrow. A draft of wind could be visibly seen with a slight green effect come up from the ground causing the arrow to go above Arsia. The arrow continued to go through the arena and to Elysia's surprise there was a barrier that sat just on the outside of the arena.

Elyisa did not think much of it as it must have been a magic barrier to keep any stray blows from going into the city.

Elysia however after she landed and continued to run around in a circle she suddenly felt a gust of wind under her foot.

Elysia tried to push away but before she could react, wind had surrounded her, trapping her in a wind dome. Elysia tried shooting an arrow but that proved ineffective as the wind would put out the arrow.

"Looks like I have caught my prey. This is one of many lessons Elysia, you must not solely rely on your bow, but plant many traps around you to trap your opponent." Arsia started to slowly walk up to the wind dome giving Elysia a small lecture.

"You have great fighting capability but what you lack is versatility, you are able to fight well at long range but you need something to compensate at short-range, you can either have a secondary weapon or you can utilize your fire to keep your opponents at range." Arsia pointed out the glaring issue Elysia was having and one of her greatest fears when it comes to fighting.

"Now you need to choose which path, do you want to become a trapper or wield 2 weapons. You do not need to decide now but think about it." Arsia gave a choice to Elysia while also undoing the wind dome letting Elysia free.

"Now let us continue this duel." Arisa grabbed her bow and with a slight glow her bow started to transform into a spear. The blade had inherited the sky blue while the handle was white with some gold lining.

Elysia panicked a little as this was her exact fear, being in a close range fight. Elysia tried to get some distance by putting up some fire walls and dashing away. This was futile as Arsia was able to slash away the wall in one go and continue to chase Elysia.

'I hate this so much.' Elysia was not having a great time as her breathing became a little ragged because of the overwhelming feeling of fear she was experiencing.

'Just try your best and like she said she will help me compensate for what I lack.' Elysia reassured herself, regaining that little bit of her confidence.

Elysia tried shooting [Blade burst arrow] only to be blocked by Arsia's wind.

Arsia had finally caught up and was able to leap in front of Elysia, stopping her in her tracks.

Arsia spun her Spear and smashed the ground, she had reinforced the blow with her wind causing Elysia to be blown back by the blast. Elysia flew through the air slightly and was able to land without issues. Elysia took advantage of this new distance that she had gained and used [Arrow storm].

However when the dust cleared from the arrow storm Arsia was nowhere to be found.

Elysia had felt some water hit her from behind causing her to turn around. Arsia had come out from a puddle of water and was directly behind Elysia.

Arsia pushed down Elysia to the ground and locked her down with her spear making it so she could not move.

"I really do like you Elysia, I can't wait to train you hehe~." Arsia had won the duel and Elysia laid on the floor defeated being pinned by Arsia and her spear.

"I didn't even do much fighting yet I already feel exhausted." Elysia felt like relaxing and did not want to continue training.

"Well it is true that it was more me bullying you but it instantly told me what you needed, as every beginner archer especially ones in small groups like yours have the biggest fear of close combat fighting." Arsia had hit the mark perfectly as for Elysia, she was honestly relieved that after training with Arsia for a while she could finally be versatile in both close and long range combat.

"It seems like Stein is already finished, let's head over there and start phase 2!" Arsia jumped up and helped Elysia up from the floor.

'I wonder how Shaman fared.' Elysia was rather curious as Shaman had finished earlier than them.

The 2 groups joined up, then Arsia and Stein went off to talk privately for a moment supposedly about phase 2.

"So how did yours go, Shaman?" Elysia had sat next to Shaman leaning her head on Shaman's shoulder.

"I got destroyed however Stein is actually my old instructor but his memories have been erased by Himeko somehow." Shaman whispered these details to Elysia.

"Well that's news." Elysia was unsure on how to respond to what Shaman had said and the news had only made her think less of Himeko.

"I know right, but yeah Himeko seems to have them under control but I don't think we can free them till we are stronger sadly." Shaman's expression grew dark as the other her had a strong connection with Stein and was telling her to save him but with current circumstances they could not go against Himeko yet.

"We will get Clara first and come back later. Let's just hope we don't forget about them haha." Elysia was not as invested in the matter, but if it was, Shaman's will, it was also hers as well.

"Yes, one thing at a time." Shaman looked up into the sky and wrapped her arm around Elysia while enjoying the few minutes they had alone till the instructors returned.

"Aight you two love birds time for phase 2." Stein had returned and it was time for the next part of the training.
