Ly then looks at me – "My ability? Alright, but I need you to stand over there" – Ly then points at a spot a few distance away from her
I move to where she points at and looks at her – "Is this good enough?" I asked Ly.
Ly nods – "Watch closely, I can still only do this for 4 times a day" – Ly then pulls her sword out and focuses
I focus my eye on Ly's movements – "I wonder what she's going to do."
Ly suddenly breathes out and skips forward at an inhuman speed leaving a trail of dust and air behind her, then stops to look at me – "That's one of my abilities, I call it [Wynd Dash]" Ly said.

[Information: Ly's [Wynd Dash] is an ability that allows her to manipulate the mana in her body to become Wynd upon exiting her feet.]
I was astonished – "W-what was that?!" Ninuu! – Ninuu then pops up – "Observing her, she skipped approximately 10 meters at a speed of 43 km/h or 26 mph."
"How did you even do that?!" I asked Ly, while still surprised.
Ly turns to me smiling – "It's nice to see someone impressed by that" – Ly giggles – "But you don't really know how that works?"
"No, please tell me," I said.
Ly uses [Wynd Dash] towards me, causing me to flinch – "Hehe, sorry Wilyam~ I'm just showing off. But for your question, it's very simple really, I just manipulated my mana to become Wynd, you can probably do it too" Ly smiles.
"Can you teach me to do that?" I said to Ly then bowing
Ly laughs – "You don't need to do that Wilyam, I'll be glad to teach you that, it's a simple ability really."
"Really?" I asked Ly.
"Mhm" – Ly then grabs my wrist and pulls me towards the spot where she demonstrated her [Wynd Dash] – "Here, you really only need to manipulate your mana and think of molding it into a form like the Wynd, and after that, imagine it coming out of your feet before skipping forward." – Ly then backs away a few feet away from me – "OH! And be careful on the amount of mana you manipulate, too much can cause you to leap further but drains bigger, too low and it is going to be weak."
"I still don't know what mana is though," I said.
Ly smiles and scratches her head awkwardly – "I am not sure I get it to be honest, all I know is that mana is some sort of special energy that everyone has, you can feel it though, like if you use too much then it's going to strain your mind and body. But our Elder Caster can give you a better explanation when we get to our village."
"Alright then" – I exhaled and mimic the stance Ly made on her demonstration – Energy to Wind, and out of my feet – I skip – Causing me to destroy and leave a crack on the ground I was standing on and lunging myself forward at an incredible speed and hitting the tree in my direction while leaving a strong gust on my back
My interface flashes red and Ninuu pops up – "[Producing Adrenaline] that is for numbing the pain, and I will send some nanobots to check your body. Be careful, okay?" – I fell on the ground
"DIVINES, WILYAM!" Ly shouted – Ly then ran towards me – "ARE YOU OKAY?" – Ly grabs and turns my body, shaking it, trying to wake me up – "HEY!"
"I am awake, that was just.... AMAZING!" I said to Ly. – I got up immediately – Ninuu then immediately pops up – "Fortunately your body is alright. And Venny, something happened when you performed the [Wynd Dash]. Our [A.P] went down from [10%] to [9%]" Ninuu said. – Wait, does that mean our A.P is mana? I asked Ninuu – "It seems to be, but we need more evidence really." Ninuu said.
"That was umm dangerous Wilyam, you scared me for a bit, I thought you'd died" – Ly laughs nervously– "BUT! What did I tell you eh? It was easy, but you need to work on your control though. Your [Wynd Dash] was strong" – Ly said while helping me get up
"That was [Wynd] manipulation huh?" I said to Ly.
"Yes, I got a few more ability that I know of, but I'll keep it a secret for now." Ly said while giggling.
"Alright, thanks for teaching me" – I said to Ly, while smiling – "Now, shall we head out?" I asked Ly.
"Yeah, I've been out for a while now the village is going to get worried if we stay any longer" – Ly whistles while walking towards the dirt path, the dog-like creature gets up from sitting down and immediately follows her – "OH! I never mentioned it yet, this is my companion Ozo" Ly said.
"What is it?" I asked Ly.
"He's a Hund, why?"
| | |
[Information: Hund's are dog-like creatures that are commonly found in villages and cities, bred as companions for the residents and even caravan guards due to them being smart and agile hunters. They have a strong bite and horns that are used mostly for intimidation but can also be used for combat.]
Ninuu suddenly notifies me – "Hey Venny that [Wynd Dash] thing you did earlier. I found a way to ingrain that into your mind and make a list in case you need to check. So, the next time you use it, it will be much easier." Ninuu said – Alright Ninuu, thanks.
Me and Ly finally reach the dirt path
"I can't wait for you to see our village; we never really get to see other humans," Ly said while we are walking
"Why is that? Are you guys secluded?" I asked Ly.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Yeah, I mean every human village is secluded, aren't yours too?" Ly asked.
"Interesting, no I can't remember really," I said.
"Well, I can't really say totally secluded since Gonduar caravans usually stops near our village to rest and trade with us," Ly said.
"Gonduar?" I asked Ly.
"Yeah Gonduars, Tall-lanky folk, they're pretty scary looking if you ask me, some of the human in our village doesn't really like them all that much, but our tribe leader lets them stop and trade with our village" Ly said.
Keep note of that Ninuu – Ninuu giggles – "Way ahead of you Venny" Ninuu said. – "I haven't seen one before" I said to Ly.
"You're like newborn Wilyam~" Ly laughs then punches me in the shoulder
| | | | |
While we are walking, Ozo suddenly stops and barked in a low pitch tone.
Ly immediately pulls her sword out – "Trouble, be ready Wilyam"
Ozo then rushes to Ly's side to defend her, and keeps looking at the tree on right side of the dirt path.
Suddenly a rat-like creature came out of the tree and hung on the branch. The rat-like creature is the size of a housecat with bright purple eyes and no visible iris, with protruding big claws on its foreleg.
The creature screeches at us.
"It's an anomaly" Ly said while preparing herself for combat
Ninuu – Ninuu pops up in my interface – "Yes?" – Send some nanobots on the epidermis of my arms and legs. I said to Ninuu – "Alright, [Reinforcing Limbs] there" – My fist and forearm, as well as my legs and feet suddenly become coated with nanobots and turns black – "Your limbs are now strong enough to destroy a brick wall, but still be careful Venny." Ninuu said.
Ly looks at me suprised – "Woah! what kind of ability is that?" Ly asked.
The rat-like creature keeps growling at us, and suddenly jumps towards Ozo.
Ozo dodges the rat and quickly bites it and holds the rat by its body.
The creature squeals, cries and moving frantically trying to free itself from Ozo's grab, but struggles to do so due to Ozo being larger than it.
Ly then lifts her sword preparing to stab the creature's head.
When suddenly the creature screeches and emits a dark-purple cloud that obscures our sight of our surroundings, and frees itself from Ozo's grab.
"Hang on, [Wynd Wave]" – Suddenly a gust of wind emits from Ly's position going in all directions, driving the cloud away – "A-are you okay Wilyam?" – Ly asks while panting.
| | |
[Information: Ly's [Wynd Wave] is a mana-taxing ability that allows her to manipulate the mana in her body to become Wynd spread evenly across her whole body, and upon exiting her body, a gust of wind is released in all directions. [Wynd Wave] is also an ability that is difficult to learn and execute due to it being physically and mentally demanding.]
"Yeah" – I look at Ly and notice her panting – "Are you okay?!" I asked Ly.
"Y-yeah, it's just that I've exerted too much mana" – Ly said while gasping for breath
"Ozo! Protect Ly, I'll handle this" – Ozo barks and rushes towards Ly's side to guard her
"B-be careful Wilyam" Ly said while trying to catch her breath.
The rat-like creature screeches.
I face the rat and put my fists up – "Try me" Ninuu, give me some adrenaline – Ninuu pops up – "You got it, activating [Adrenaline Rush] there, I have sent commands to your adrenal gland to pump some adrenaline to your heart" Ninuu said. – Thanks.
"Whew" I said while I shook my head,
The rat-like creature then ran towards me and jumped while opening its mouth, exposing it's jagged teeth, ready to bite me.
"Predictable" I said - [Wynd Dash]! – I skipped towards the rat and punched its head while its mid-air, cracking the rat's snout and sending it flying towards a tree
Ninuu pops up – "Your [A.P] did not change that much, due to you using [Wynd Dash] minimally. But let us change your gauge's appearance so it includes a decimal, There. Again, your [A.P] went from [10.2%] to [9.6%]" Ninuu said.
I exhaled, and anticipate any movements from the rat.
Ozo then calms down and stopped growling.
"It's dead, Wilyam" Ly said, while still clearly showing signs of exhaustion, then sheathes her sword
"Okay" – I ran towards Ly to check her – "Are you good?" I asked Ly.
"Y-yeah, we just need to get to the village that's all, I'm exhausted" Ly said.
"Alright, where?" I asked Ly.
"This dirt path is directly headed towards the village; we just need to follow it" Ly said while pointing towards the direction
"Can you move?" I asked.
"I think so" – Ly said, then tried to walk but almost fell to the ground
"You can't even walk properly. I'll carry you, and you direct me where the village is, okay?" I said to Ly.
"A-alright" Ly said hesitantly
Ninuu – Ninuu pops up – "Yeah?" – Move the nanobots in my arms to my legs – "Alright" Ninuu said. – My arms suddenly returned to its normal state
I picked up Ly – "Ozo! You run ahead, try to get to the village before us, and signal them to meet us if they can." – Ozo barks and runs ahead
I ran while carrying Ly, following the path Ozo took.
"What was that creature back there?" I asked Ly.
"I-it was a Colocolo, an anomaly at that" Ly said weakly.
"Alright, I'll ask you about it when we reach the village" I said while laughing awkwardly – "How much further is the village?" I asked Ly.
"S-still a f-few ways" – Ly said while slurring
I started to run.
"Damn," – Ninuu, can you help me out? – Ninuu pops up – "I think so, I've came up with something involving Wynd manipulation" Ninuu said. – Yeah? What's that – "You can probably use [Wynd Dash] upward, like a thruster. Hop then use a powerful [Wynd Dash], then when you are about to reach the ground, use it again but weaker to minimize your terminal velocity and to cushion your landing" Ninuu said. – Okay, that sounds do-able
"Hey Ly, are you awake?" I asked Ly while running
"Yeah?" Ly asked.
"Can you grab unto me? I'm going to use an ability" I said to Ly, then stopped from running
"A-alright" – Ly said, then put both her arms around my neck awkwardly, causing me to blush
Ninuu pops up, giggling – "Vennyyy! Your heartrate suddenly got faster, why is that?" Ninuu said jokingly. – Be quiet, Ninuu. I am trying to concentrate
I breathe, then exhaled [Wynd Dash] – I hopped forward, causing me to be thrusted in the air higher than any of the trees in the area
Ly suddenly clings tighter and hiding her face on my neck.
"I think I can see the village from here" I said – The village is inside a wall meshed with trees and foliage, that camouflages the whole village, with an entrance from the dirt path that leads to the gates and two other gates that cover the east and west parts of the village.
We started to descend and right before we hit the ground.
I use [Wynd Dash] again, to reduce my velocity, successfully landing safely, then continuing to run, until I see the village ahead.
Ninuu pops up – "Hey Venny, your current [A.P] is now at [8.3%], with your 1st [Wynd Dash], costing [0.6%] and the 2nd costing [0.2%]. Overall, an efficient usage of your [A.P] compared to before, good job Venny!" Ninuu said. – Thanks, Ninuu.
While running towards the village, my legs suddenly stopped moving and I could not move – "W-what the?!" I said, and when I look down at my legs, there is a glowing dark-purple appendage that is coming from a bush, wrapped on my legs immobilizing me, and an unknown voice coming from the forest goes – "State your business"
