Last Wish System

Chapter 34: Water Battle Armor

Yale rushed towards his sister’s house, where he would train with Swordmad.

Since Yale saw the speed increasing agility spell Zack used in the Wind Elemental Class, Yale had put it on his to-do list to learn one spell of that kind.

Yale hated losing his time when moving from one lesson to another, so he liked the Magus Classes Style of all the lessons being in the same classroom.

The spell used by Zack didn’t truly improve the agility of the body like Yale’s Bloodline Force but instead used wind to increase the speed.

In a battle, increasing the agility of the body was better than only increasing the speed with the support of an element.

However, Bloodline Force left Yale’s body too exhausted after using it so he couldn’t use it to move around all day.

Furthermore, Bloodline Force was one of Yale’s trump cards, and he didn’t want to use it in public unless it was necessary.

A speed increasing spell was the best solution for merely going from one place to another as long as the cost of the skill wasn’t too high.

Yale was relying only on his body’s power to rush towards the training grounds situated outside his sister’s house.

The training grounds belonged to the house and thus belonged to Ange.

Private training grounds were an excellent place to practice, Yale and Aizu were also planning to train there the next day.

Yale was trying to go as fast as possible, but he was slowed down by the books he was carrying.

These were the books he obtained from the poison class teacher and Yale didn’t dare to leave them in the classroom.

While running, Yale had the time to recall his first day attending the classes in the academy.

Yale had met a lot of classmates, but to him, only three of them had enough talent to be treated seriously.

Of course, the three were George, Zack, and Aizu.

Yale was delighted to have some people to compare his abilities with because he had feared that the system had made him unsurpassable by his peers.

Fortunately, that didn’t happen, and Yale found three people comparable to him in his own promotion.

If Yale didn’t work hard any of the three would be able to surpass him in no time. That kind of pressure was the best to avoid slacking off and train even harder.

As they motivated Yale, Yale’s display of prowess also motivated them.

Yale arrived directly to the house’s training grounds where Swordmad was already waiting for him. He was already late, so he didn’t go to visit Ange and Wyba inside the house.

“You are late, and why so many books?”

Swordmad understood that with Yale’s schedule it was difficult to be punctual, but he didn’t understand why would he have to run around with those books which had slowed him even more.

“Sorry master. Those books are from the Poison Class; I didn’t dare leave them in the classroom.”

Swordmad thought about speaking with the poison teacher, he didn’t mind about the academy’s teaching methods, but he didn’t like that his training time with Yale was affected because of that.

“Give them to me.”

Swordmad waved his hand, and all the books disappeared into Swordmad’s space artifact.

That was the first time Yale saw Swordmad use a space artifact, but Yale knew that there was no way his master didn’t have one.

“Well, we can start now. Draw your sword.”

Yale hesitated for a moment, before speaking again.

“Can I ask something before that?”

Swordmad didn’t expect his student to want to delay the lesson even more, but he also knew Yale’s personality, if he wanted to ask something it should be important.

“Ask something? Alright.”

Yale took some air before telling all to his master.

“I’m already able to make a breakthrough to the 2-star mortal realm. Furthermore, I know that there would be something abnormal in my breakthrough and it would catch too much attention.”

Swordmad expression fluctuated slightly but returned to normal before Yale noticed.

“Are you ready for the breakthrough? In only a week? As expected from my disciple. However, the whole academy is already talking about you. I doubt that even a breakthrough would shock them too much.”

“The fact is that I managed to create a skill that never appeared in the world before. I created it by chance in the class, but I couldn’t execute it fully at that moment due to a lack of energy. However, if I use it now, it would be complete and then I would breakthrough to the 2-star mortal realm.”

Even without the system, Yale knew that no one created such a skill before.

When someone devised an outline of a skill never seen before in the world, the creator would know it subconsciously; Yale wasn’t an exception.

“If that’s the truth, then don’t worry and breakthrough right now. This place is one of the most secure in the whole academy.”

Seeing that Yale still hesitating, Swordmad continued.

“Your sister is too famous, so some people tried to infiltrate in her house in the past. Sainac feared that someone would try to attack her, so he personally created a defensive spell. Only those who your sister gave permission will be able to enter the house terrains. Of course, someone as strong as me would be able to enter forcefully, but it wouldn’t be easy.”

Yale relaxed as Swordmad said that, what Swordmad told him had sense.

Then, Yale concentrated and started to circulate all his Origin Qi to form the Water Battle Armor.

The water started to appear from his hand, but instead of taking any defined shape like before, it began to cover Yale’s body.

In a few seconds, Yale’s body was entirely covered by water.

The water still without any defined form. However, an outline of an ice armor was starting to appear in Yale’s body.

The ice covered the vital parts while water covered the others to ensure flexibility.

That form could be considered as the Water Battle Armor’s standard form.

Of course, Yale could change it to any other shape as that was one of the good points of that skill.

Finally, an ice sword surrounded by water appeared in Yale’s hand.

Yale could use the water surrounding him to freely attack even if he didn’t form an ice weapon, but Yale felt more comfortable with a sword.

Swordmad was hiding his surprise while seeing Yale’s Origin Skill, that versatility was something bizarre in a single skill.

Furthermore, Swordmad supposed it should be a Combined Skill as it wasn’t a Battle Skill nor Magic Skill.

Even Swordmad didn’t know about the Origin Path or Origin Skills.

When the skill was displayed, a multicolored light appeared in the skies covering a hundred meter range.

That was the world’s reaction when someone executed a skill that never appeared in the world before.

Yale’s advantage when creating such skills was his Origin Qi.

Any skill that can only be used with Origin Qi would probably never appeared in the world before. That was because the number of people who practiced the Origin Path in the whole story was meager compared to other Paths.

Fortunately, there weren’t any students near Ange’s house as it was late at night, so there wasn’t any outsider was in the range of the world’s reaction.

However, Ange was inside the house with Wyba in her arms and saw the changes in the sky through the window in her bedroom.

She had the intuition that those strange lights were related to her little brother and then rushed towards the training grounds. Usually, Ange’s intuition was very sharp.

At that time in the training grounds, Swordmad shouted.

“Attack me with all your power! Let’s see how strong is this skill of yours!”

He wanted to test the level Yale’s skill reached.

No matter how strong Yale’s Skill was, harming someone at Swordmad’s level was impossible, so Yale attacked him with all his strength.

While Yale was attacking Swordmad, Ange arrived at the training grounds. She was astounded about Yale’s power as she knew that he only turned ten a week before.

Yale used the skill to its fullest and didn’t only rely on sword attacks even if he was wielding the ice sword.

Yale’s battle prowess increased by a significant margin, but against Swordmad the outcome was the same.

As Yale was becoming more used to the Water Battle Armor, he sensed that his body was almost at the point of making a breakthrough.

Water Battle Armor didn’t have a time limit, but it will fade when Yale became exhausted.

The battle style could influence its duration a lot; it was better than skills which consume fixed Origin Points by second.

Yale managed to battle Swordmad for a whole ten minutes before the skill began to fade.

Of course, Swordmad was only receiving Yale’s attacks and didn’t try to interrupt him.

If Yale were attacked while using the skill, the duration would diminish a lot.

When Yale sensed that the armor was starting to fade, he decided to use all the remaining power in the last attack.

Yale and Swordmad had some distance between them as Yale had relied a lot upon using whip-like water to disturb him before attacking with the ice sword.

However, in the last attack, Yale stabbed the ice sword towards his master from long range, creating a torrent of water which went towards Swordmad.

That was an attack with all the remaining power of the Battle Water Armor it couldn’t compare to the previous ones.

When Swordmad was about to receive the torrent of water, Yale made all the water turn in ice changing the whole nature of the attack.

The attack turned into a dense rain of sharp ice shards.

That managed to surprise Swordmad, who didn’t expect that Yale had such a good control towards the water element.

Changing the nature of an attack in the last moment could surprise an opponent, and even stronger opponents could be defeated if they were careless.

However, the difference between Yale and his master was too big, even if Swordmad was surprised, he blocked the attack effortlessly.
