Chapter 762 Accidental Discovery and More Mystery
After a full 12 hours, Sona came out of the room feeling more refreshed than ever, with her worries out of the way. She never thought that the burden of keeping things to herself was that great.
Spreading her Demonic Power around, she found out that Serafall still hadn't come back and thought that she might not during the duration of their training, 'Looks like that bothered her more than I anticipated. I knew Nee-sama was innocent, but not this innocent!'
Kisuke also soon came out yawning, "Shall we have a meal? And while we're at it, let's talk about what happened yesterday."
"We won't wait for Nee-sama?"
"If she's not here now, I don't think she'll come back now. And you need to know more about your ability than her since I can only assume that you can only control that instinctively and I'm more than enough to help you with that."
"That's true. I have a feeling that I could use that 'water' but I'm not really sure what nature it is."
After settling down on the table and having a few bites, Kisuke asked Sona, "What do you think your ability is?" He needs to know where to start explaining as it seems that unlike Zanpakuto and their given abilities, Sona's ability wasn't automatically passed down to its user and it was only triggered by her other self, which probably took on most of her Hollow side. He also needed more information of any type due to the existence of 'Phosphoplasm' that shouldn't exist in this world, nor Sona's origin world. Although he already had a working theory, Kisuke wanted to know more.
"I'm not really sure, but I'm certain that it isn't the 'water' itself.", Sona answered as she summoned the ball of water, "If it's not the water itself, then it must be the properties behind it. Although I can summon it like this, I can only control it like how I control normal Magic so I have no idea how I was pushing you and Nee-sama last night."
Kisuke nodded and raised a glass and covered it with a fairly strong barrier, "Try slashing through this with that. No need to give effort and just swing that water as it is."
Sona was skeptical since she could tell the strength of the barrier that Kisuke placed on the glass, but she did what he instructed anyway. With a swing of her finger, the water formed an arc before launching itself to the glass. Sona thought that her water would just be splattered everywhere but was stunned to see it instantly went through the glass and traveled further beyond, wounding Kisuke's right cheek.
More than the glass, Sona was aware of how sturdy Kisuke had become even without him actively protecting himself, 'For a simple spell to cause damage to him... I see... So that's how it is.'
Naturally, Kisuke could have dodged the arc of water, but he purposely didn't do so since that might help Sona get the idea, and she did. The corner of his mouth slightly curved upwards when he saw her start muttering to herself, forgetting her surroundings.
Approximately half an hour later, Sona's awareness of the surroundings returned and immediately turned her sights to Kisuke, "Is it flow? Am I in control of the flow itself? If that's the case, then that would explain why my Magic went through your defense. The unceasing flow managed to cut through everything and if I can control or strengthen it, my Magic could theoretically go through anything."
"That's right, but that's not all. Last night, your body took on a form that could make use of this 'flow' ability of yours. In other words, a body made up of your own Magic. Like hitting a body of water, physical attacks against you become essentially useless and sealing techniques become ineffective as long as there are cracks in the technique you can escape from. Finally, if you can expand this influence of yours, you may control the flow of 'everything', be it the air itself or someone's blood."
Kisuke then shrugged his shoulders and added jokingly, "Heck, if you want to go even further beyond with this concept of yours, maybe you'll be able to control the flow of time itself."
While the first ones are achievable, Sona immediately brushed off Kisuke's last words, "No way that's possible. I can't even imagine it."
Kisuke, however, gave a small smile and didn't answer back, 'Nothing is really certain when it comes to abilities that bend the rules of reality, but she doesn't need to think about this right now.'
The two of them continued talking for another hour, with Sona mostly asking questions but then answering them herself. Finally, when Kisuke was certain that it was already enough and she wouldn't get lost, he ended the discussion, "Now that you know how your Magic or ability works, you have to figure out how to achieve that 'Magic Body' on your own and that will be your assignment for the rest of this training session. Whether you'll be successful or not, I don't know, however, you already gained something enormous with this outing, so you don't have to push yourself like before."
"Going slowly or rushing it, when it comes to unique abilities like yours, it doesn't really matter since it's not about your raw abilities, but understanding."
Sona nodded and said, "I understand. I also think that it'll be useless to mindlessly train when what I need is some sort of enlightenment."
As soon as Sona left, Kisuke couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Haah... In the end, I wasn't able to figure out anything concrete in regards to the appearance of the 'Phosphoplasm' which should only exist in my world. Did it form because of the clash of Sona's Demonic Power and Hollow Reishi? If so, then the 'Blood of Hell' could only come to be when there's the presence of Mana or Magic Power, but I'm fairly sure that no one knew of its existence."
"Fullbringers are a mystery too and might have a connection to that. I could only guess that someone intentionally hid the existence of Mana and that someone could only be the Spirit King. But why?" Kisuke went back to the loghouse, full of new questions that could only be answered if he were to return to his original world.
Through the rest of their training period, Serafall didn't show up to both Sona and Kisuke.
