The Tale Of Kitsuna

Chapter 140:

[An Pov]

“Kitsuna is the same age as me, right?” Katie said, baffled, looking at all the ice and scorch spells going around.

“Yes, she is only 14 years old,” I affirmed, nodding.

“she is a total monster,” Katie mumbled, baffled at how Kitsuna was fighting against Kayda.

“well, being primordial does make you a monster,” I explained with a small grin.

“P-Primordial!?” Katie exclaimed, surprised at my words.

“shh,”

“s-sorry.”

.....

“you didn’t realise that she was primordial?” I asked, confused at my daughter.

“no, I don’t really know much about them.”

“I see. Do remind me to teach you about primordials later.”

“Yes, mother,” Katie said, nodding at my words.

“hmm.”

“... mother I am a bit confused?” Katie asked hesitantly.

“about?”

“why is kayda under so much pressure from Kitsuna? Isn’t her level way higher than Kitsunas?” Katie asked, making a gesture at her.

“This might have been called a spar, but it’s more to test out Kitsunas class,” I explained, looking at the two hitting each other.

“But even then, kayda is quite struggling there. Ah, never mind, she made a barrier.” Katie said, nodding, thinking Kitsuna would start struggling now.

“Hmm, interesting, now how will-” I started saying only widening my eyes in shock.

“she destroyed it that easily?” Katie mumbled, baffled.

“Way too easily. What was that? Some That was a real powerful spell. Also, from where, though?” I said quite surprised.

“I don’t know.”

“Hmm, oh there. it was one of her clones.” I said, looking to the right.

“where?” Katie asked, looking around.

“you won’t see her, but she is about 750m to the right.”

“oh, that far,” Katie said, giving up.

“uh, it’s quite impressive that she hit a shot from there,” I said, knowing that distance will be hard to hit for even elves.

“I agree. Oh, kayda made her barrier stronger than before.”

“... And it destroyed again,” I said, sigh, not understanding how she did it.

“she even hit kayda this time,” Katie said, still baffled.

“Yeah, but it seems the clone isn’t going to shoot again,” I said, feeling the close disappear.

“just three shots?”

“yes, it seems she is still limited to that,” I said, nodding at my daughters’ words.

“but-”

“I agree. How will kitsuna deal with her barrier now.”

“... Uhm, I know that Kitsunas mother is a weapon master in her own right, but isn’t kitsuna to adaptable with weapons already.”

“I heard Stacy fully trained Kitsuna for three years.”

“I see, but still.”

“no, this is understandable. You might not know her well, but Stacy is a training god.” I said, sighing. Remember the time we tried to train together.

“what do you mean about that mother?”

“You see, Stacy is a devil in a cat tribe skin. She won’t give up on you or give you proper breaks until she thinks you are at the right level.”

“won’t that burn someone out?”

“you might think that, but she knows when to ease up on the person and when to push them more. That’s why she is a training god.”

“I never heard people call her that.”

“well, not many people know about the people she trained.”

“hmm, but isn’t kitsuna her only disciple?”

“she is, but she isn’t the first person she trained.”

“... was Amari also?”

“no, Amari is a mage type, so Stacy couldn’t train her.”

“I see.”

“uh oh, kayda is making another barrier?”

“now, to see how kitsuna will-”

“...”

“...”

“...”

“isn’t she to prepare to counter kayda?”

“I must agree with you, my daughter,” I said, nodding, not understanding what was happening.

“... High.”

“anyways, let’s see how she deals with the distance now,” I said, ignoring the weird sound Katie made.

“...”

“...”

“...”

“She is just running around dodging Kaydas attacks.”

“Yeah, now she is hiding a dust cloud,” I explained, monotone, not very impressed.

“... m-mother, how can you learn the cloning skill?”

“I will need to find out as well.”

“let’s learn it together then.”

“uh, agree,” I said, nodding in agreement.

“They seemed to be more at a standstill.”

“Yeah, I wonder if they will.”

“will?”

“you will see.”

“Okay,” Katie said weirdly.

[5 minutes later]

“...”

“They looked so cool in their monster forms.”

“yeah.”

“but their fight looked like some weird slum cat fight.”

“yeah.”

“At least they didn’t keep it up.”

.....

“yeah.”

“Mooom, say something else,” Katie said, annoyed.

“what? What do you want me to say?”

“something else other than yeah.”

“fine, it seems they are done anyways.”

“Are we going to join them?”

“and be the third wheel? No, not a chance.”

“Yeah, that doesn’t sound fun.”

“oh, right, you asked about kayda not attacking or using skill, right?”

“uh, something like that, yes.”

“Okay, so what do you think will happen if kayda went all out against kitsuna.”

“kitsuna will be demolished?” Katie said hesitantly.

“sigh, you’re not wrong. If kayda went all out, kitsuna wouldn’t even be able to use mana. So yes, she would have been demolished.”

“Wait, kitsuna won’t even be able to use mana?”

“sages are legendary classes, Katie. Do you not think they have something special about themself.”

“I know that, but how can a scorch racial magic stop ice racial magic?”

“oh, you already know that racial skills can cancel normal and rare magic out just by exciting?”

“Yeah, but to do that, you will need to have enough mana to make a carpet of mana over the entire area where you are going to fight.”

“I guess that’s one way to see it. Anyways the reason why racial magic can also cancel out other racial skills is that in Kitsunas’ case. She does have more than enough mana to make this ‘carpet’, but she doesn’t have enough control over her mana.”

“oh, so if kayda makes her carpet, kitsuna won’t be able to counter with her own.”

“correct.”

“I see. Is this also why kayda couldn’t see through Kitsunas illusions?”

“Ah hmm, good question. I think it wouldn’t really matter. Kayda might have an easier way to realise there was an illusion around her, but she wouldn’t be able to break it.”

“why?”

“well, I heard kitsuna could use illusions without any skill.”

“Really!”

“yeah, and her illusions are broken too strong. Or well constructed as even we in this barrier couldn’t see through them.”

“huh? Why would the barrier change anything?”

“because mana can’t get through this barrier.”

“ah, it can’t?”

“yeah, I am also confused about how she did it.”

“I see. Oh, she got three tails again?” Katie said, pointing at Kitsunas’ tails wagging behind her again.

“Hmm, yes,” I said, holding i. I chuckle, seeing how happy kitsuna was wagging her tail in kayda’s lap.

“uhm are we gling to them?”

‘This daughter of mine can’t read the room.’ i thought, snickering at her.

“Nah, let them talk first. It seems Kitsuna is being passed.” I said, chuckling taking out a scroll and taking a few photos of them.

“going to send it to Kitsunas, mom?”

“yeah, she is going to tease her to death for it.”

“oh, right, kayda barrier, did kitsune really destroy it twice?”

“Hmm, yes, it seemed like she did. Though I don’t know how she managed to do it with the second barrier. Kayda did make it quite stronger than the first one.”

“but she still made a hole in it.”

“Yeah, we will need to ask when they are done.”

“I agree, but what do you think of her class so far?”

“Nothing too special, really. All that she got was more mana and some elements. I guess some skills as well. It’s like her class is only made to reinforce her exciting skill set. But I guess that makes sense since if you only look at her skills, they are terrifying for her age. You can easily forget she is only 14 years old.”

“yeah~, when do you think they will be done?” Katie asked, looking at the two love birds again.

“ah, there, I think they’re done,” I mumbled, seeing kitsu kissing kayda before standing up and starting to stretch.

“oh, Before we go, do mother think she will be able to win against kitsuna right now.”

“yes, I will win, but only if she doesn’t use wrath.”

“why?”

“because the only real advantage I have over her right now is stats.”

“not skill or experience in battle?”

“that’s also one thing, but I don’t think that will give me a big advantage over her. She is quite smart, and she was trained by that monster of a mother of hers.”

“so you’re saying she would cover that in her training. Experience, I mean.”

“Yes, she would but kitsuna has a weird past, so it’s not just her mother that helped her. Kitsuna is also quite smart, so she would figure out some countermeasures against me while we fight.”

“So long fight not the best for you.”

“nope, especially because she used ice, and I use water.”

“I see. Do you think I will ever get at her level?”

“Her combat level right now? Yes, of course, you will.”

“Haha, thanks.”

‘Like hell, I will have my daughter fall behind her peers.’ I thought, petting Katie’s head.
