Chapter 17

???: “You are right, I am Jin Kizaraki.”

Jackson: “Well if you are a friend of Diore then why did you attack us.”

Jin: “Well as I said I want to test you kids and especially the instincts of that kid named Marcus.”

Marcus: “The ice spear is very sharp and fast what if I could not react in time.”

Jin: “Well that is simple, it would hit him.”

Marcus: “That would kill him. Do you even understand what you are doing?”

Jin: “Oh come on I know what I am doing. If it would have hit him it would just scratch him the worst case. Did you forget that your bodies were strengthened due to the power from the gate of Nephielm?”

Marcus: “But…”

Elijah: “Stop it, Marcus, you must remember that even without the power from the gate my body is sturdier due to me being the user of Shield of Darkness.”

Marcus: “I am sorry.”

Jin: “Well there is no need to apologize child you were doing the right thing I was just testing you guys.”

Ria: “I see but may I know why you are here.”

Jin: “Well apparently all that Diore taught you was how to use your abilities to the fullest and some magic. He left teaching other essential things like martial arts, swordsmanship, and anything else if somehow you guys were separated individually. More importantly, your group has four new members, so we must train them properly.”

Elijah: “So what do you say we do in the training time.”

Jin: “Well I plan to teach you guys how to survive individually first.”

Elijah: “Won’t it take a lot of time.”

Jin: “I know that is why I have an idea to help you in that regard.”

Ken: “Is it the time-space room I can make?”

Jin: “It is a time-space room but we are not using yours because it won’t be able to handle my power.”

Ken: “Then how are going to set up a space-time room.”

Jin: “Well I am the avatar Lord Vorta so I can use it and I can also take you to places that are useful for different types of training. For instance increased gravity, volcanic region, and many other places.”

Jackson: “I see that makes sense we would be able to train a lot more effectively.”

Jin: “That is correct. Anyways let me tell you what you are going to do more specifically. First, you the Apostils are going to learn the Nephelic tongue.”

Sarah: “What is Nephelic tongue.”

Jin: “Well it is the language used to make the power you got from the gate more efficient. The people of the Nephelim race used it to manipulate their special energy with more potency.”

Lilly: “How can a language make the techniques more powerful.”

Jin: “Well that is because the frequency of the language and the energy of the Nepheliem people matched because since the time of their creation, they practiced their energy and they developed the language based on the waves and frequency of their special energy. So when the Nephelic tongue is used in combination with their energy it will amplify the effects of energy.”

Lilly: “How many times will the effect be amplified.”

Jin: “Well it depends on the user.”

Ria also intrigued by the conversation joined in and asked–

Ria: “By what basis does it classify is it the amount of energy one uses it has or the control of energy one has.”

Jin: “Those are certainly important but the important factor is the fluency one has in the language or the mastery over the language. Oh, and Ken you might be the fastest to learn this cause it is basically a mix of Latin and Irish with a Spanish accent in the mix.”

Ken: “Wow I am glad I learned Irish and a little of Greek and Latin.”

Elijah: “Why did you even learn these languages?”

Ken: “Well I learned Irish because I did a lot of espionage missions in a country called Ireland and as for the other two languages I just learned them because I was curious because a lot of terms in science were named in those languages.”

Jin: “I think we need to move on to the next part of the plan.”

The group agreed and they began to listen carefully.

Jin: “As for Ria and Mika you both are a special case so I talked with Lady Meera about your situation and we decided that you two are going to be the first generation of priestess of Darkness.”

After hearing those words the entire group was shocked to hear this and they all became silent until there was a huge roar and cry of an animal which broke their shocked state.

Jin: “Now that all of you are back from the shock let us continue our discussions. Raphtalia you are responsible to teach them how to be proper priestess and how to heal and give blessings to others.”

Ria: “I understand what you said but how did we end up going to become a priestess.”

Jin: “Well both of you have the potential to be great priestesses but since you worship Lady Raveena it would be a waste of your potential so I discussed this issue with her and decided this.”

Mika: “We do not know the responsibility or the ability of a priestess so we will try our best and be great role models to the future priestess of Darkness.”

Jin: “These are going to be the initial stages of the training and after that, I will teach Ken, Sarah, and Lilly how to form pacts with souls and I will also teach all of you how to form a familiar contract with monsters or animals.”

Rian: “I see the plan is good but I think it is best to set up a camp now as it became dark.”

Jin: “I agree, you need guys will need rest because you will have a very tough training tomorrow.”

The group started to set up camp and cooked their dinner they all talked a lot and they went to sleep to get ready for the training that awaited them the following day.
