After this unexpected fight Luck woke up inside his house, it was early morning, and the thing that woke up Luck was Caroline's intense tapping on her phone screen, she was playing a mobile game and she was stuck in a level for hours
"Come on, I'm on the end please let me get past it" Caroline whispered
"What are you doing?" Luck asked her
Caroline threw her phone across the room while screaming, Luck surprised her more than she wants to admit
"L-Luck you are awake! How are you?" Caroline asked him with embarrassment
"I'm okay, how about your phone? You threw it quite aggressively, you may need a new one" Luck told he
"No way! If I break another one the agency won't give me another one!" Caroline told Luck
"Are you saying you have broken other phones?" Luck asked confused
"Well I broke one when I fought with Kamira, I broke it another time before coming here and if I break this one too then I will have to buy an agency phone so let's pray this one is okay!"
Caroline told Luck, she then slowly picked up the phone and started turning it around, Luck started laughing hysterically
"Hahaha, I can't believe it, the screen isn't even glued to the phone, it simply swings around like a cable"
Luck's laugh angered Caroline
"What's so funny G salt? I would never laugh if your phone broke like this" Caroline told him to piss him off but Luck didn't hear anything he was too busy laughing
"Don't worry Caroline I will go to the agency anyways so you borrow my phone for the day since I probably won't need it"
Luck said as he handed his phone to her, Caroline felt blessed
"You are a savior Luck!"
Caroline said, she then took his phone and called Robbie to pick up Luck from the port, Luck then got ready and left early, it was Saturday so school wasn't an issue for him, after a peaceful walk inside the village Luck arrived at the port and he tried to enter the mana zone that Robbie was waiting
'I did it once, just do that same thing I did before'
Luck concentrated and was able to enter the mana zone, Robbie was standing in front of him
"Congratulations for entering the mana zone alone, I will reward you for this milestone with a hug"
Robbie said he then hugged Luck, Luck felt very uncomfortable but he let him be, he was a robot after all, after the hug the 2 of them entered the plane and they took off for the base in Italy
The flight was very quiet since Robbie didn't talk, Luck didn't have his phone so the only way he could make time pass faster was by looking outside the plane window which wasn't bad but it wasn't the best, after the boring flight Luck entered the base, the base had little people since most of them worked at day time
"You got here 2 hours early, why's that?" Risha asked Luck, she was sitting on a couch inside the lobby
"I figured out I could use a little more training since I'm the only one that can't use his elements"
Luck told her, she agreed so the two of them entered a training room
"What do you want to learn first?" Risha asked him
"Well I know how to make a clone of me but I don't know how to do the basics with illusion such as change the appearance of something" Luck told her
"I read a book all about the element of illusion while you were passed out, so I have a basic understanding of the element of illusion, so firstly I will give you some hand-drawn instructions on how to use the basics of illusion, I myself find it easier to learn something if it's illustrated"
Risha told him, she quickly started drawing on a paper she created and gave them to Luck, the first drawing said that you had to visualize what you want to project into others and then create it with illusion, Luck then tried to do what the drawing said and for a part worked, he wanted to create a fake gun and he did but then the second drawing came and Luck was stuck, the second drawing showed how to change the appearance of something or someone, the method was the same as creating something from scratch but with some minor changes but Luck couldn't perform it
"I see you have trouble with that one so I will give you a little help, try to think of me and you, we are both humans but we have differences such as height, gender, and more, now try to change your appearance to match mine by tweaking your characteristics"
Risha told him, Luck then concentrated, and after some seconds his appearance changed to Risha's

"Whoa! you did it, now let me inspect me"
Risha told him, Luck was a bit weirded out from his transformation
"You are almost a perfect copy of me, the only difference is that my butt is a bit bigger, other than that you made it!"
Risha told him with a serious look
"I don't think that would matter that mu..."
Luck said but he was interrupted by Risha
"Of course it matters, people will suspect even the sightless change so you can't afford to mess up, but you don't have to worry about it, by not being able to make my butt perfect you are showing me that you are not looking at me" Risha told him, Luck got a bit embarrassed
'How can she say things like that with a straight face' Luck thought
Risha was a bit straight forwards to Luck, maybe a little more than required but that didn't mind Luck since he was surrounded by weird people all of his life
"Next up is invisibility" Risha told him
"Don't worry about it, I already have done it once"
Luck told her, he then turned himself invisible
"That's great that means that you now know the basics, so I will now continue to combat training" Risha told him
Luck was a bit concerned
"I already know how to fight so I think we can skip the basics about fighting" Luck told her, Risha then giggled
"Oh, you thought I was talking about hand-to-hand combat?"
Risha asked as she opened a hidden door to a locker room, the room contained a hundred melee weapons and firearms
"Pick whatever you like"
Risha told him with a smile, Luck slowly entered the room and started to look around, they were so many choices from swords to daggers to spears and for the firearms, the room had pistols, rifles, shotguns, and even bazookas, Luck then though logically
'I'm using the element of illusion so I probably need something low-key like a pistol and daggers'
"Hey MS. Risha do you have pistols with silencers or daggers?" Luck asked her, Risha disapproved
"I see what your thinking process is and I don't like it! You may think that you have to fight with stealth but that isn't the case, so I will pick something for you and you tell me if you like it or not"
Risha told him, and he agreed so Risha quickly picked up only 2 things, a pistol, and a sword
"That is basically what I asked, so what makes it different?"
Luck asked, Risha smiled at the question
"I'm glad you asked me because these weapons are not your typical pistol and sword, you see in this world even weapons can be altered with mana, that's the case about those weapons too, firstly the pistol, it is a pistol that can use both mana bullets and real bullets, and its special trait is that if you apply mana to your pistol it can shot with a force that can match a sniper, the pistol also has a shotgun mode, and as for the sword you can enhance it with mana to create a mana cove on top of it creating a lightsaber kind of blade that can even cut the hardest materials, and the special thing about it is that if you enhance it with mana you divide the sword into 2 small daggers"
Risha told him, Luck was beyond satisfied with Risha's suggestions
"Those are perfect, you really know how to choose a good weapon!" Luck told her, he then picked up the weapons and started to swing around the sword
'It's a bit heavier than I thought'
"Now let's start with some basic sword training"
Risha told him, she then proceeded to grab a sword, after she swung it around to get used to its weight she got in front of Luck
"I will allow you to start first so make your next move count" Risha told him
Luck then started with a swing at her sides, but Risha easily blocked it and attacked back, Luck quickly jumped outside Risha's reach to avoid her attack
"Don't back down now, face me straight on!"
Luck felt a way he didn't feel before, usually, people didn't pose too much trouble but this time it was different, Risha didn't use mana to strengthen herself, she was simply better than him, and Luck liked it
"Don't blame me for what is about to happen!"
Luck told her with a look filled with excitement, Risha slimed
"I won't..."
~Meanwhile in Biol~
Caroline is desperately trying to find a game that she can play, but it wasn't so easy on her
"I have been looking for hours and I still haven't seen anything interesting!" Caroline whined out loud, a sudden notification then disturbed Caroline's search, the message said the following:
The message was sent by Luck's mother
'Why would his own mother treat him like that?'
Caroline wondered when she read the message, it was a quite shocking thing to see since she thought that Luck and his mom had a good relationship together
'I shouldn't have read that, and generally getting Luck's phone was something I shouldn't have done' Caroline thought
Caroline then placed Luck's phone on his bed and got ready to leave the house, Caroline decided to pay a visit to Destiny
~Back to Luck and Risha~
Both of them were exhausted since they had sword-fought for hours
"How about we start with your shooting training now?"
Risha suggested, she could see that Luck couldn't fight anymore
"Come on! give me another round, I'm sure that I will win this time" Luck told her but Risha rejected him instantly
"We are running out of time and we haven't even touched the guns, and if you want to know my ways of teaching are very strict so I won't allow you to use the sword for a week if you continue to beg me to fight"
Luck then stopped talking, he really enjoyed his sword training so taking it away from him for a month was really bad for him, Risha prepared some bottles for Luck to shoot, and she also taught him the basic mechanisms of his pistols so he knows what he is doing
"Now ready up your weapon and when I signal you to start shooting the bottles, try to destroy them as fast as you can"
Risha told him, Luck nodded and got ready
"GO!"
Luck started to shoot the bottles, his aim was a bit off at the start but towards the end, his aim improved, eventually, he ran out of ammo
"Risha how do you create things?"
Luck asked mindlessly, Risha also didn't process the question
"Try to imagine an object you want to create and then try to focus your mana into the same shape the object you want to create has and when you do that try to martialize the mana, and another thing is to make sure that you know the materials the object you want to create is made of"
Risha answered, Luck then concentrated and created bullets with the element of creation, at that time Luck totally forgot about the difference in the category, since he saw Caroline use so many elements together he started to think that mixing elements and categories was something common, Risha was completely shocked
"Did you just use the element of creation? B-But you said your attribute was illusion, and illusion is in a completely different category from creation, so how..." Risha said, she saw it but she still couldn't believe it
'Could he also be a Divine?' Risha wondered as she stared at Luck's eyes
