The promised time has arrived. This morning, in the empty land of Kardagon. I, Rayen, Renatta, and Pisces gathered after being a few meters apart due to the teleportation effect.
The blue sky, with no clouds at all, stretched over us without any obstruction from the view of trees or buildings. If this is a large field maybe I can still run and scream, but this land is really empty, let alone what we are stepping on right now is really ground only.
Luckily, the soil is not moist it tends to be dry and hard.
I, when I got here, couldn't say anything more than just looking at each other with Rayen.
“Because my original goal was to train Pisces.I guess Rayen and Renatta could wait elsewhere.”
I said to Rayen and Renatta.
“Is there nothing I can help you with?”
“I also want to be useful for miss.”
Extend Renatta from Rayen's answer.
“Hmm. for now there may not be. Oho! True too, if Renatta might be able to help me a little!”
Given something because of Renatta's ice ability, I can give him a task as a target for Pisces training.
Pisces is a woman who likes to hunt without wanting to hunt, it is the decision of her parents. Pisces respect that decision and I have to respect Pisces' decision. It would actually be easier to get Pisces to shoot, so he gets used to it. But that kind of thing was the same against his parents.
I thought of something easier. What I need to teach is how Pisces controls the magnitude and power of the arrows from its Magic Arrow magic. If he made it smaller, there was a chance that the arrow would have shot further.
As a target, Renatta would make blocks of ice fly and Pisces' job was to hit the blocks of ice. With the blue sky, then the ice block will look transparent, this will also train the precision of the view of Pisces.
What a perfect exercise.
Renatta stood 200 meters away from where I and Pisces were. Distance so far is enough. I don't know, I've never seen how well Pisces hunts.
Beside Pisces, I gave a wave of hand to Renatta.
With ease, Renatta made a hail that shot rapidly from the sky right in front of us. Its speed was more than that of dripping rainwater, let alone with a transparent color, making the rain only look like a dancing light.
It's not at all what I'm doing with making a target.
What is Renatta really? As far as I was concerned Reine wasn't that strong to create this hail, was it possible because of my influence? Just like what happened to Seiren.
Using the Handless Pointing skill, the hail created by Renatta I stopped. I melted all the ice, and I made about dozens of hexagon-shaped chunks of ice lined up from left to right. The chunk floated in the air about 10 meters from the ground.
“Alright, Pisces. now try to destroy all the chunks at once.”
I said.
For the first stage, the ice chunk was deliberately not made to move. But by having him destroy everything I thought it was already a challenge.
“Everything? At once?”
Reply Pisces with insecurity. All he did was play his hands. This red-haired woman did not even want to look at me while talking.
“As long as you know, I'm not a good person at training someone. You have to know how to develop your magic. That's why, all I can help you with is giving you goals and tasks.”
“.. t-but I.”
“You just have to be confident, I'm sure you can!”
I give Pisces a fist and eyes full of hope. Receiving all of this from a counselor can be fun, but it can also be as much as making her nervous.
It's no longer possible for Pisces to stay away while I put my hope in him. Sighing, Pisces can only obey me.
“Alright.. I'll try.”
He exclaimed softly, after which I moved quickly to where Rayen was. Rayen deliberately chose a place where he could see all the exercises from the perspective of the audience. If Renatta stands far ahead of Pisces, Rayen is among them. That is, the positions of Rayen, Pisces, and Renatta currently form a triangle.
Because basically the ice magic is Renatta's, it means that the one who knows the damage is Renatta. I purposely let him stay there to keep an eye on the target.
Pisces begins to cast its spell. Just like back then, a magic bow appeared above Pisces.
I see Pisces is very serious in casting the spell, there is absolutely no mistake when the magic phase. And as for Reft's bet, I think he's good enough. But one mistake, which is the biggest mistake, is execution.
Pisces is terrible at execution, the magic bow enlarges and shrinks every Pisces begins to unfocus. The fault of Pisces is that when the shape of the bow is not perfect, he has started making arrows.
The arrow was ejected, and it was a pity that it was so bad.
Small in size and nice, but moving very slowly. Somehow the arrow was able to remain hovering at such a slow speed. But if it's not too late it can destroy Renatta's ice.
“Is there no sentence that can give it spirit, yes?”
I asked Rayen, as the arrow went through the sky. To be honest, the slowness of it made us both bored.
“Entahlah. After all you are a Goddess, magic like anything can be used easily, while ordinary humans can only master it after half-dead training.”
“Ya. and because of that I don't understand how magic works.”
I replied, agreeing with Rayen's words.
“If you use your will as a Goddess, it can no longer be called a practice. I think the most appropriate way is to accompany Pisces learning, we must create a comfortable exercise environment for Pisces.”
“Kita? You can not join in training Pisces loh.. anyway can not!”
“K-Why yes.?”
“Finally, later Pisces must be fascinated by you. If that happens, I'll split this world in two.”
“Y-Ya-Yang is right.”
While pretending to sulk, I puffed my cheeks and turned my eyes away. Rayen who panicked because she thought I was angry had a funny expression. I've set, Rayen's expression that's what makes me happy. I will work on it more often from now on.
On the other side of the ground, I saw Pisces being knocked down while holding his chest. His mouth was wide open as if he needed a lot of air.
Seeing that, Rayen and I immediately ran up to him.
Sure enough, Pisces is out of breath. What's the matter? Though yesterday Pisces casts out a bigger magic, but the effect of being out of breath belongs to him the same as yesterday. Perhaps her magic ability is declining.
But if this happens because of lack of focus, I'm sure that Pisces was already focused. His magic phase was also almost perfect.

“Owh.. that is his subconscious problem.”
Reftia answered, while eating a chocolate cake given by Raru Megaira.
“Hah? What?”
“...hufftt.. I said his subconscious.”
“Not it! I mean, what is the subconscious?”
In that case, I don't know if Reftia is pretending to be stupid or if she's just misinterpreted.
After seeing Pisces' puzzling condition, I took the risk of letting it go along with Renatta and Rayen, while I returned to the palace to ask Reftia. Damn, it means that right now my dear is with two women.
Of course I used teleportation magic to go straight to the room, and as I expected Reftia was there, lying on a very messy bed.
After that, I told him about Pisces, he gave me what I meant.
Reftia.
“Why? Is it because of her parents?”
“Maybe. Since the beginning he has not dared to approach things that smell hunting.”
“... then. what should I do?”
“Of course, there are many ways. You can teach new magic to Pisces, or ask for his parents' blessing.”
***
“New magic or ask for blessing?”
“That's what Reftia.” says
Rayen responded with a face full of wonder. He leaned Pisces body on his chest, unlike before because now Pisces looks better.
Renatta remained with his cold face, Pisces trying to calm down and control his breathing.
I was also thinking about this matter, whether to try a new magic or ask for the blessing of the Pisces parents. Whatever it is, in fact all decisions go back to Pisces. I want him to teach me new magic, because asking his parents for blessing is a bit of a hassle.
“For now we give Pisces energy first only.”
I said to Rayen.
Pisces does not faint, but he keeps his eyes closed to save energy.
I clasped Pisces' hands, then slowly channeled Reft. If I am an ordinary human being, channeling Reft is something that does not need attention. But since I am now a Goddess, had it been wrong to give, then the body of Pisces would not have been able to receive Refti from me.
Pisces body is now filled with energy, he opens his eyes, it is undeniable that the gaze of Pisces is more excited than before.
“Tadi... Have you heard ‘kan what we should do? Between new magic and asking for blessing.”
I said to Pisces, helping him to his feet.
Not directly replying to my words, Pisces stayed for a while with a deep bow. Some things he thought about answering.
“How? What do you want?"
My welcome.
“I thought.. Better try new magic.”
Reply Pisces in a soft tone. He did not even look me in the eye when he answered.
“Why? Don't you like that magic? Wouldn't it be better to ask for blessing?”
Again the deep hump he gave.
I wonder why these two things are so confusing for Pisces. If I were him, it would be obvious that I would just answer one of them. There is nothing troublesome about these two options.
I was surprised, also feeling awkward because of my own stupidity, when I saw the gaze of Pisces not look like usual. From his deep bow, I could see Pisces' teary eyes, his dark expression.
“Asking for blessing.it is impossible. My parents..my parents are dead.”
All right, the sentence I least wanted to hear finally appeared. Of the many theories I have come up with when I look at the expression of Pisces, ultimately the worst is the right one.
Sure enough, his parents are dead. I can only condemn my own stupidity for always being outspoken. It is true that Pisces only says his parents do not approve of him, but he also never said that his parents are still alive.
“It.. forgive me.”
“No! It's okay!”
Nervous, Pisces tried to calm down the sorry me. He repeatedly waved his hand.
Oh, my God, this is a little troublesome. I looked at Rayen, just like me, as if he was sorry too. Renatta remained on his cold face which seemed expressionless, I never saw him looking down.
“K-Then.. how do we try magic just now?!”
I said to break the awkwardness. I don't know why that word just came out of my mouth.
Pisces responded positively, He understood my point, and immediately agreed.
Trying to think of some magic, roughly what would be appropriate for a hunting enthusiast like Pisces. If you recall, the average long-range magic is indeed related to hunting.
Some of the magic that came to my mind were Long Range Bullet, Aynee Sparrow, Flare Shooter, and still
more in Rayen's grandfather's magic book.
Aynee Sparrow is a sorcery from ancient royal mythology that has a Queen named Aynee, and the spear removed from that magic belongs to Queen Aynee, but it is only mythology. Flare Shooter is a magic that shoots many fireballs quickly.
And Long Range Bullet, one of my favorite magic. It is a magic that will transform the shape of the human heart into a certain element. The element was compacted and would turn into an infinite-controlled bullet like telekinesis.
If Pisces heart represents water, then the bullet he uses may be water, but if fire means that which is used fire.
“If you really want to try a new magic, won't it take a long time? Well.. does not mean we have a time limit as well anyway. but I think this will be a long exercise.”.
Rayen reminded me.
“A-Anu.. I don't want to trouble you guys. no need to bother.”
“No. This is my responsibility to the sorcerer, after all I have promised Queen Megaira.”
I cut off Pisces's words.
True, magic is not like martial arts. As long as there was spirit, the difficult martial technique should be able to become easier. But magic is not like that. The magnitude of one's magic ability depends on how much natural energy likes it.
To make the energy nature likes, it takes a lot of practice and practice. Surprisingly, for the bad guys, there were some of them who were enslaving the natural energy. It was able to make them strong, but the rules of nature became broken.
Neutral Eye!
I activated these eyes to look at the heart of Pisces. On a whim, I just want to know what element is settling in Pisces' heart.
Timber. The Pisces element is wood. Well, it suits her who is a lover of hunting. But for this magic wood is not very dominant. There has never been a history of wood being able to cut fire or water.
“Pisces, between fire and water, which one do you prefer?”
My toot.
“...hmm. air.”
I smiled hearing his words.
God’s Will!
By using the will of the Goddess. I made a very large lake, the expanse of water stretched out in front of us.
The water that filled it was a clear blue, shiny under the sunlight. In addition, I also made a lot of shady trees on the edge of the lake. Like the coconut trees that bend towards the lake, I created it all.
“Actually your element is wood. But if you are ready to ascend in this lake, then chances are you can master the water element as well.”
“B-Why??”
“Haha!! It's so much fun, right?!”
