Volume 2 Chapter 63 - Accessories
After confirming their decisions one last time, Kisuke took out two pendants that has a silver chain and blue gem embedded on a teardrop-shaped silver gem holder. He sets it on the table in front of Koneko and Aika.
"These two pendants will be for you two and will be the point of entry for both of you to the training grounds from now on."
"Training grounds?" Aika picked up one of the pendants, 'Pretty.' Koneko also did and thought the same thing.
"It's somewhere you can break loose without minding your surroundings. Will get into that later so let me first explain its functions." Kisuke answered Aika's question as she fiddles with the pendant.
"Wait! Where's mine!?" Yoruichi glared at Kisuke and pinched his side.
"Ow ow ow! Of course, I can't forget yours." Kisuke then took a golden ring with complicated yet mesmerizing inscriptions. The pitch-black complicated lines created a very beautiful sight that will grab the attention of any women if they stare long enough.
Even though Yoruichi doesn't have any knowledge about the aesthetics of an accessory, she couldn't take her eyes off the ring. Yoruichi gazed at it for one more minute before reaching out her right hand towards Kisuke urging him to put it in her.
Kisuke didn't disappoint her and put it on her ring finger gently. Yoruichi took back her hand and stared at it for a few more minutes with a gentle smile on her face. She then saw the other two girls with envious and jealous. Yoruichi doesn't know if they were envious of how beautiful the ring is or something else, but she displayed the smuggest expression she can which easily infuriated Aika.
"What's this discrimination!? I also want something like that! Although the pendant is very pretty and, thank you for giving it to me, still! I also want a pretty ring!" Aika protested after she saw Yoruichi smug face. Koneko also nodded at her words while intently staring at Kisuke.
"It's not discrimination. It's a distinction. It's obvious that my lover will get something special." Kisuke explained himself. From this, Yoruichi's smile grew bigger. She's enjoying the envious and jealous gaze of the two, maybe it's something innate to a woman to become proud when in this kind of situation.
"I also want that kind of distinction!" Aika blurted out loudly. The other two girls were shocked as they didn't expect her to declare it so suddenly.
Instead of being discouraged, when Aika saw Yoruichi's blissful expression and Kisuke gentle smile directed towards his lover, something exploded inside her mind and she suddenly gained the courage to say her statement out loud. It was unknown whether it was due to her eccentricities or something else, but it's no doubt that her feelings were amplified when she felt like she was being challenged.
'Maybe I shouldn't have done that.' Yoruichi slightly regretted her actions. 'Haah… It doesn't really matter. This would have come sooner or later. It just came a little bit earlier.'
Koneko also felt something stirring inside her, but it was not enough to give the courage like Aika's. She only pouted her mouth at Yoruichi's provocation and admired Aika.
Kisuke's thought also halted for a short while when he heard Aika, "Ahem… You're free to try whatever you want, but I'll tell you now, it'll be futile."
"Hmmph! We'll see." Aika just snorted at Kisuke's words.
Kisuke chose to ignore her words as saying more would just push her more so he went back to the topic, "Anyways, The primary function of these pendants and ring is to teleport you to the secret training ground as we can't enter it anymore in just one place as it'll put suspicion to whatever eyes that may be watching us.
" Of course there are restrictions to reduce some of the security issues. First only you can activate the teleportation function. I registered your Mana signatures and some other variables in it to distinguish your identity from others. Even if someone else wanted to copy your Mana signatures to activate it, it'll be useless and will just send a backlash of destructive Mana to the one who attempted it.
"Second is due to the overly complicated magic formula, it can only be activated when space is stable, meaning, no other space magic should be used in that area for about 24 hours. You also cannot activate it when there's someone else 10 meters near you as there Mana will disrupt the magic formula."
"Why is the magic formula unnecessarily complicated?" Koneko interrupted Kisuke's explanation. She has some knowledge of magic because Akeno and Rias would sometimes lecture her and Kiba about it so that can deal with it and its user to some extent.
"This magic formula consists of five magic circles, all teleporting the target to different locations."
"And one of these circles will teleport you towards the training ground?" Koneko continues to ask.
"Of course not. That would be too easy for someone who knows how to decode magic circles to know the target location. These five circles actually compose the sixth circle which is hidden all across these circles. If someone were to decode it one by one, they could never find the existence of the sixth circle and even if they found it by accident, they wouldn't know how to interpret it as these five circles can generate more than a thousand combinations and the sixth circle is hidden among those. It'll take some years or some decades for someone to pinpoint the exact location of this magic formula leads. Too bad, I would have probably changed how it works by that time. And they also have to search two random overseas locations, two random local locations, and a random place in the Underworld if they try to track it. Buhahaha."
"As expected of you. If it was a secret, you always go overboard. And Koneko-chan, don't ask him how his sh*ts work anymore or else he won't stop speaking. He really likes to explain things, especially to his opponents just to annoy them or see their surprised expression." Yoruichi held her forehead in surrender and warned Koneko.
"I can understand his logic, but that should be impossible in practice, at least from my knowledge." Koneko nodded and said.
"So his nonsense actually works?" Aika asks but no one answered her question as it might provoke Kisuke to explain again.
"You lot are no fun." Kisuke was dissatisfied at their reaction but still continued what he has to say, "Well, anyway, no one 10 meters within if you want to teleport."
"The third is you can only use it twice a day due to Mana consumption. It'll take 20 hours to charge it fully."
"Can't you make it faster?" Yoruichi asks the question this time.
"I can, but it'll disrupt the flow of Mana in the surrounding and you'll only end up attracting someone's attention, which is what we don't want at this point in time."
"Makes sense."
"And the last one, you two can't teleport to the training ground if either I or Yoruichi aren't present inside."
"What? Why?" Even though Aika doesn't know what this training ground looks like for them to be so secretive, she doesn't understand why they needed to be inside just to go in. 'Is there something dangerous inside?' She peeked at Koneko's reaction, but she also has the same confusion.
"It's because we can't let you train unsupervised." Kisuke looked at them seriously, "The techniques and skills that we are teaching you aren't the common ones and is dangerous to the user without proper guidance. It can even damage your soul if you're not careful which is tricky to heal. That's why I also advise Koneko not to practice outside of the training ground."
Aika knew that he was being careful with their well being and she nodded at him with the same serious expression.
"Good. Now another reminder. Don't ever think that this is a means to escape, I'll make something different for that purpose in the future."
"I want a ring!"
"I'll make some hairclips."
"Che! Stingy!"
