Waking up, I discover that it’s night time. Fenrir is currently wrapped around my body. It seems she is protecting me while keeping me warm.

Well, I’ll start to work on my magic some more. I once again create a ball of water from mana. However, this time it’s almost smooth. Let's make it completely smooth by tonight!

“Are you awake?” I hear a female voice. I feel Fenrir move to look at me. I hope I didn’t wake her up. However, I still nod at her question.

“Good. I have somethings to tell you.” Fenrir snuggles up against me some.

“First, since you are drinking my milk, there might be some side effects. One of them is being able to understand monster language. This one will be beneficial to you probably.”

“Second, you will release a faint aura of Fenrir. I will teach you how to control it so that certain groups won’t attempt to kill you.”

“Third and finally, you may unlock the ability to use ice magic. Ice magic is one of my inherent abilities. So, it might transfer over to you.” Fenrir explains to me.

The first and third bonuses are nice. However, I’m slightly concerned about the second side effect. Who or what would try and kill me because of that aura? Then again, it is an SSS Class monster aura.

“There is one last thing I want you to attempt before I go back to sleep.” Fenrir says. “I feel that your water magic is different. I think it might be a variant type of magic, but I don’t know what kind. For now, I want you to try moving some mud.”

I can only nod and try. After creating a ball of water, I threw it on the nearby dirt and attempted to move the mud that formed. Surprisingly, I was able to move the mud slightly. My inability to move it might be due to the lack of training.

“I see so you are a variant type. Though, you can’t use magic of the Earth attribute, but can still use the Earth and Water variant of mud magic. Interesting. However, just being able to use mud magic won’t make me resonate with you.” Fenrir says. “When you find any liquids, you should try to manipulate it.”

Stolen novel; please report.

I nod at her statement. I’ll try and use my magic on liquids. If it’s possible to manipulate multiple liquids then it’ll be helpful.

Seeing me, Fenrir turns around and goes back to sleep. I’ll continue trying to make a smooth water ball. After thirty minutes, I was able to make a ball however, I soon fell asleep afterwards.

We were already traveling by the time I woke up. I had to make them stop to eat. They didn’t seem to mind it though.

“How far have you progressed?” Ashvan asks me. Showing him, I create a smooth waterball in the air.

“Good! You really are loved by the water god it seems. Making a smooth waterball that size would usually take a few months for most kids.” Ashvan says excitedly. “Your next task will be to mold it into a stable detailed form. Any form will do, armor, weapons, buildings anything complex really.”

I see so you start with a simple object then make more advanced objects. Does that mean the finish project is detailed dragons or living creatures? Well let’s start now.

----------------------------------------------------------

For three months, my days consisted of training my magic control, magic capacity and gaining knowledge. During these three months, Ashvan gave a “brief” history of the continent. By brief, I mean we spent three whole months on the first half of the history.

During the mornings, I was training my magic control by shaping the waterball. I am not able to create basic detailed shapes. My swords would only be recognized as swords. They have blades and hilts but no details.

During the nights, I was with Fenrir training my ability to use mud and other liquid objects I could obtain. This included milk, and blood from mainly mindless, low-level monsters that stupidly attacked and that were killed for attacking an archmage and god class monster. When Fenrir saw I could manipulate blood, she was slightly perturbed so I stopped doing it in front of her.

“In about a week, we will be exiting the forest.” Ashvan says to me. I see. Still, this is a large forest if it took us three months to cross it.

“Ok… Big.” I say in response. Hearing me, Ashvan nods. He has gained a basic understanding of my short sentences.

“Though this forest is large, it only took this long since we stayed close to the edges.” Ashvan explains. “If we went directly through the forest, it might of only taken a month. But getting close to the center of this forest is dangerous.”

“When you leave the forest, I won’t be able to travel with you.” Fenrir says to us. “I’m not allowed to leave the forest.”

Hearing her, I’m sad and reluctant to part. I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve stayed with her in the forest.

A week didn’t last long and we reached the forest exit according to Ashvan. Turning around, Ashvan says “Thank you for guiding us through the forest.”

“Don’t mention it. I needed to do it.” Fenrir replies. “I will head back to my domain.” After saying this, Fenrir turns around and starts moving to the forest.

Seeing her leave, I’m distressed. I takes me a second before I say, “I…. Come back.”

Hearing my words, Fenrir stops and turns around. Her eyes are slightly wet. She moves towards me and licks my face. “I’ll wait for you then. Please visit me.”

I smile and give her snout a hug. After, she disappeared into the forest.

“Well, let’s continue to our home.” Ashvan says.
