{Grandmaster's abode}
i and Aiko returned to their 'ho'. i wanted to start teaching Alchemy once again, but there was also the problem of Aiko's Divine Sense.
That needs to be solved as soon as possible, so she can teach both things at the sa ti.
She knew that Aiko was smart, so this should be no issue for her.
"First thing first~" i humd. Training Divine Sense was always fun since it always starts with destruction.
i placed small firewood logs in front of Aiko. "You will use your Divine Sense to crush them."
Animalistic Divine Sense could not be used for scouting as it would crush everything in its path, as such you had to teach the Divine Sense what it should or should not do.
Aiko focused on that hateful log, a large shadow appeared above her. It snorted unhappily, slapping the log away.
i blinked a few tis. She had seen these kinds of Divine Sense only from Dragons, was Aiko part Dragon?
i tilted her head. How was she supposed to train Aiko?
She placed another log a bit further and Aiko once again stared at it hatefully.
A shadow manifested above Aiko once again. It glanced at i before glancing at Aiko. It sighed before slapping the log away once again.
"..." i was speechless. She would have to ask the Grandmaster about this, but for now, this should work... right?
i kept placing logs further and further from Aiko. This would teach the Divine Sense to stretch its body as the Cultivator willed.
This was an important part of the 'sensing' type of Divine Sense.
They did it further and further until the shadowy beast refused to cooperate. So far it was hitting the log within its range, but now that it was outside its range, it refused to move...
i would have to definitely ask the Grandmaster about Divine Sense as she did not teach it enough tis to deal with these strange irregularities...
...
{Visiting the Grandmaster: Backroom inside the Massage Chair business}
"Dog-like Divine Sense?" The Grandmaster tilted her head.
i could only nod with a sigh. "Once it got out of its paws range, it refused to move."
"Maybe you are going about this incorrectly?" The Grandmaster asked i once she read her mind.
"Pardon?" i tilted her head.
"This looks like one of those Dragon Divine Senses, but not at the sa ti. It would be better to start with combat before you extend its influence." Dai Lu nudged i in a strange direction.
It took i a while to realise what Dai Lu was planning.
"Oh! To improve her Divine Sense control, we first need for 'it' to move!" i nodded in understanding and Dai Lu smiled.
i had her own weaknesses, but the most severe one was the distorted ti. She perceived ti at a different pace than others, which made certain things difficult. Moreover, she also dwelled on certain things a bit too long...
"Now, go go." Dai Lu shooed i away. "I still have a lot of work to do." She chuckled.
i nodded. "Thank you for your guidance." She gently bowed, leaving Dai Lu alone...
"I can't believe that scum betrayed her... she is such a cute and kind girl..." Dai Lu shook her head, but did not bring this matter to light. She was likewise betrayed, so it would be strange to talk about it...
...
{Grandmaster's abode}
i grabbed Aiko and they went to the desolate place where they could train.
"You will fight ." i said gently, startling Aiko.
"But I don't want to..." Aiko refused. She didn't want to hurt i.
"I'm much stronger than you are." i reassured Aiko, but she gave her a doubtful look nonetheless.
"But you are to attack only with your Divine Sense." i finished her explanation.
"Oh..." Aiko nodded gently. This way it should be safer, right?
"How do I attack with my Divine Sense?" Aiko did not know how. It took all of her focus just to move it.
"We will be playing a tag and you will try to target with your thoughts." i elaborated.
"Will you be alright?" Aiko was still worried that she would hurt i.
"It's fine." i smiled gently.
The ga of tag comnced.
Aiko was not able to keep up with i's speed, since she used earth to her advantage.
It was a strange feeling that Aiko could not catch up to her...
No matter how much Aiko sped up, i was always faster...
...
*Wheeze Wheeze*
Aiko was lying on the ground refusing to move. Her stamina was rock bottom and she was exhausted.
anwhile, i was smiling happily on her side! This was unfair! At least show so sweat!
Aiko could not even pout as she had to breathe to calm down her body.
"I didn't think you would have such a little stamina..." i shook her head, teasing Aiko.
Aiko glared at her hatefully and her Divine Sense attacked.
i gracefully dodged as she had already expected it.
Aiko looked sad, not because she didn't hit i, but because her Divine Sense was a ss... At this ti she did not wish to attack i, but the Divine Sense still attacked.
"It will take ti, let's play with logs until you catch your breath." i smiled gently, but inside was shocked.
'What kind of monstrous stamina does she have?!' i was left speechless and worried that her cute little servant would overtake her...
'It seems I will have to train again...' i narrowed her eyes.
...
They rested a bit before her sulking Divine Sense played with the logs, but this ti it even extended its paw past its limits.
i was overjoyed and would give Dai Lu more nice Pills as a thank-you.
The more she observed the Divine Sense, the stranger it beca.
'Is that a wolf?' i tilted her head.
It was strange, very strange. If Aiko had so kind of 'Divine Sense Manifestation' it would be as Dragon’s as those have different Divine Sense, but this shadow felt like a different entity on its own...
'How do I deal with it? Can it even be trained?' It's been a while since i doubted her teaching capabilities, but she had to say that Aiko was everything, but normal...
'I have no idea what it will do, but fortunately, it can't hurt Aiko.' i sighed. It seed like the strange shadowy wolf got bored with the small logs...
"How is your stamina?" i asked.
"I will have to ditate to replenish stamina..." Aiko said. While she was no longer panting, her Stamina was far from replenished.
"Here." i gave Aiko a Pill that would improve the recovery of her Stamina.
"Candy." Aiko took it and munched on it, but before she could bite into it, i used her Divine Sense to send it down Aiko's throat.
"My candy..." Aiko sniffled. She was hungry and wanted to slowly munch on it, but i was ruthless in this aspect...
"I will give you candies later, you need to dissolve that Pill and circulate its effects." i was stern when it ca to Pills, so that Aiko would learn to circulate it every ti. She didn't want to encounter the previous incident!
Aiko sobbed, but still circulated her Energy.
[Your body consud [Recovery Pill (Stamina): Grade 3 (Low)]. Your Stamina will recover at 10x the normal speed. (Ti: 29:59)(Quality of the Pill is too low to affect Recovery Skills)]
Aiko circulated while glancing at the system from ti to ti. This was a much better system than she previously experienced, no matter what she did or ate, it would never tell her things like this...
Aiko was overjoyed that she now had a way to know more things about this world without needing to read or do so weird chants...
It took a while, but with the additional help from i's internal energy, Aiko was able to recover her Stamina completely.
"Let's restart the chase." i smiled.
Aiko nodded, ready to chase i...
...
Days went by like a flowing river. Aiko was getting better and better at chasing i.
'I should be able to catch up to i soon...' Aiko did not level up this whole ti. It seems that either her body needed different nutrition or the system made it more difficult.
This was not necessarily a bad thing...
[Your [Lightness Technique] improved. You have grasped the basics: 6/9]
Aiko wondered what would happen once she grasped the basics. She was looking forward to that ti.
Her Divine Sense was not ta at all, but it was more lively. Aiko had trouble controlling it, as it was easier to rouse action from it. She had to pay attention to her behaviour, as she once accidentally crushed a whole table because she stubbed her toe!
It would be bad if she bumped into a wall and destroyed the whole building! So Aiko had to pay close attention to her behaviour.
As such, her maturity drastically sped up.
She even heard the Blood Fox pouting that the cute Aiko was nowhere to be seen, so Aiko had to indulge them from ti to ti... she liked being spoiled...
...
"Can we do sothing else?" Aiko in her big form asked.
"What do you have in mind?" i was very accommodating as Aiko was working hard.
"I would like to make this." Aiko placed a plan in front of i.
i picked it up. It was a strange writing and i narrowed her eyes.
"Why do you want to make a hole in our roof?" i questioned Aiko.
"It's not a hole. It's a special one-way Inscription that would allow to bathe in the Moon rays." Aiko elaborated.
"And what is this?" i narrowed her eyes.
"Doodles..." Aiko whistled away. She didn't want to tell i about her next mission.
[Special Advancent Mission!]
[Create the most elaborate Inscription possible.]
[Rewards will be given depending on your Skill.]
[Minimum Reward: [Inscription Apprentice (9th Mid-Grade Inscription Cultivator)]]
[Maximum Reward:[Inscription Apprentice (1st High-Grade Inscription Cultivator)]]
[Placent depends on how well you know the Inscriptions in the given stage. 9th ans the lowest amount of knowledge, while 1st is the highest possible.]
Aiko nodded gently at the system. She liked these kinds of missions where there was no penalty.
She could take her ti and slowly build it up as there was also no ti limit. This would improve her Profession and Aiko wondered what it might cause. Will it unlock sothing new? Will it improve her current Skills? Or was it just a 'Badge of Honour'?
She really wanted to find out~!
