In the following period of ti, the situation didn't change. Day after day, the sa situation unfolded.
After waking up in the morning, Villin would train his body and work on transfiguration.
After this ca breakfast with Silver, they would talk a bit during this ti but no real progress was made. When the conversation didn't concern magic, Villin would generally pull back.
After breakfast ca his runic studies. Nearly half of the day was devoted to this art where Villin would practice enchantnts, magic arrays, and wards.
Back in the prison cell, Villin managed to make a semi-true ward. One of the big points of a ward was having each individual rune attract its own magic power from the surroundings. Villin didn't know how to do this so instead, he incorporated an enchantnt to do this into the ward.
Because of this, the ward was weaker and less stable. Now that he had the book back, he could properly learn how to make a true ward without making these sacrifices.
This would continue on until dinner. After dinner, he spent so more ti going over various school books he had gotten. One of the new main subjects of this year was math, luckily though, Villin knew this subject well enough thanks to his ti on earth.
Together with this, he would also spend ti practicing and modifying various spells. He got a better grasp of so of the spells he hadn't used in a long ti again. He also made so derivatory spells but none truly outstanding. The only true progress was with 'Vinea Tenura' since he was the most familiar with this spell and the nodes it consisted of, Villin managed to boost the strength of the vines sowhat.
Then finally, Villin would spend ti inside of his ntal space, working on his ntal defenses with the Kitsune.
The relationship between the Kitsune and Villin was odd. She would tirelessly work on the mind and hardly ever comnted on what Villin did outside of it. It didn't take long for Villin to realize, Kitsunes weren't truly creatures that belonged in the physical realm. Their consciousness would generally be in their own minds, this was why their bodies slept for nine months a year.
Now that she was capable of spending the entirety of her existence within the mind without having to care about the body she was in, the Kitsune was actually quite happy. As long as Villin wasn't in true danger, she didn't feel the need to interfere. She was content with being a simple spectator in his life.
Still, she did help him occasionally. When it had been over two months since they escaped the Decorus experintation base, she finally began getting used to the physical body sowhat. He could feel a change occur to him. Even without transfiguration or any magic at all, he was able to figure out where exactly Silver was within the house.
A Kitsune had strong control over matters of the mind, they would ss with people's dreams and could cause them to go insane. The first step to getting these powers generally ca with a Kitsune's third tail. They would be able to sense people's minds around them. Matter and magic didn't seem to matter here, Villin could feel Silver's mind through the walls.
Even though he couldn't read thoughts or anything, it was proof the ntal abilities of the Kitsune were becoming more potent within himself. And since the Kitsune he rged with was a seven-tailed one, he might be able to do much, much more than simply feel soone's existence soon.
It was because of this, Villin kept the existence of the Kitsune a complete secret. As far as he knew The Academy didn't know about it yet or they should've asked. And he would rather keep it a secret as long as possible. ntal abilities could beco very powerful, but with the right equipnt and spells, you could counter them. It was thanks to this Decorus managed to capture a powerful Kitsune in the first place.
Even though this was kept a secret, he didn't feel the need to hide his proper improvents in the field of magic. A couple of visitors ca to Silver's house and even though none of them actually got to see Villin, rumors soon began spreading.
The rumors stated that Villin was skilled in transfiguration and he was even capable of creating true wards. The only reason Villin knew of these rumors was that Ruby ntioned them to him, that being said he didn't care about it.
As for when the guests ca, even though Villin told himself there was no need to care about it; he still felt himself go on extre alert whenever soone other than Silver was inside of the house and didn't leave his room during these tis.
Despite this, things were pretty decent during this period of ti. Villin got into magic more and more and Silver thought he was in a good condition considering things.
It was thanks to this that she contacted The Academy. They told her to contact them if Silver thought he would be fit to rejoin The Academy the following year. In this case, they would send a small group of examiners. The examiners would test his skill in magic and make sure he was fit to rejoin the school.
When Silver told Villin about this, he didn't react much to it. He still wasn't sure what it was he was supposed to do now. He found a routine here but he recalled the words of Elder Tian who told him to try and move slightly out of his comfort zone without forcing himself too much. He decided to just let things co at him, and so he waited.
One week before the new school year was supposed to start, they got a knock on the door.
Since Villin knew the people from The Academy were set to arrive at this ti, he didn't retreat to his room as he would do with other guests.
Still, he felt nervous, the bad kind of nervous. He could hear Silver talk with the guests at the door, even though Villin would be able to sense them using transfiguration, he chose not to in order to avoid misunderstandings since they were probably strong enough to sense soone spying on them in that manner.
He was, however, capable of knowing how many there were since he could feel their minds.
There seed to be three in total. Villin found this an acceptable amount. If they were to have bad intentions, Villin was confident he would be able to take down two of them using a surprise attack and utilizing one of the half-true wards he created inside of the house. Silver should then be able to take care of the last person.
"Be careful of your thoughts Villin, your bloodthirst is spilling."
Hearing the Kitsune's warning, Villin retracted his ntal power. Bloodthirst is nothing more than a weak, pure, ntal attack. It was sothing that could easily be faked but that could also very easily be accidentally created by those with a powerful ntal space.
Villin cleared his mind as he reminded himself that these people weren't enemies. Soon, Silver finished talking to the group and so, they entered the living room.
Soon, three gazes were pointed towards Villin. There were two won and one man. Villin recognized one of the won once tested him in the advanced tournant of The Academy. If he recalled right she was called miss Valentine, back then she was very professional.
Even though the second woman was unknown to him, Villin also recognized the man that ca with him. A large man packed with muscles that seed more like a warrior than he did a magus. It was nobody else but Pompei, a man that once taught Villin 'Combat Classes'. He had learned much from his classes and so he was sowhat grateful towards this teacher.
With two of the people here familiar to him in a positive way, so of Villin's stress dissipated slightly. He managed to relax his eyebrows sowhat.
The trio looked at him properly, they noted his clothes seed to be very thin. He was wearing a thin black shirt with short sleeves, this revealed many of the scars on his arms. Instead of the oh-so-popular jeans, he was wearing pants made out of a sort of cloth that was most closely compared to a black kind of satin. A soft, thin material.
The lack of socks was also noted, but this was sothing that they had been told about. Villin's face looked fine but with their level of strength they could faintly sense the illusion cast over it, this was also not a surprise to them.
After both parties looked at each other, miss Valentine took a step forward and addressed Villin, "Villin, we have co today to see whether you are fit to rejoin The Academy. And if so, if you will have to spend another year in the second grade or if you can move on to the third. We will be giving you five different tests, we will spectate how you attempt to pass each of them. If we say you succeed in each of the tests, you will be allowed back to The Academy for this following year."
