Chapter 18

The next morning everyone began their training and everyone had one single thought shared by everyone except Raphtalia, Mika, and Ria who were busy with their priestess training. “Jin Kizaraki you damn bas***rd I will kill, you one day. Just you wait.”

Jin: “Oi run faster, even a wild boar will run faster than you.”

Currently, everyone was given the task of running across the forest ten times after being gently awakened by Jin, which was being awakened with a bucket of ice cubes dumped on their heads while being surrounded by a circle of black flames.

Jin: “Come on guys run faster.”

The group started running faster and somehow completed the task and they were panting on the ground.

Jin: “Ok Rian go help the girls practice their spells and buffs on you or would you like to do gravity training.”

Rian: “Well I want to help the girls.”

Jin: “Ok go ahead I will teach these kids the Nephelic tongue.”

Rian: “Ok.”

Jin: “Ok guys let me give you a basic rundown on the language. So basically this language has Eleven Alphabets and they are—

⩔: Sun

⨈: Moon

ꖩ: Star

⧋: Sky

ꘐ: Land

⧕: Water

ꙙ: Fire

⧖: Air

⩩: Life

⩬: Death

⧤: Spirit

Ken: “Can you give us some idea of pronunciation”

Jin: “Ok let me write and show you.

⩔: Pronounced like "soo" as in "soon"

⨈: Pronounced like "ree" as in "reel"

ꖩ: Pronounced like "thay" as in "they"

⧋: Pronounced like "ee" as in "see"

ꘐ: Pronounced like "lah" as in "lava"

⧕: Pronounced like "uh" as in "but"

ꙙ: Pronounced like "oy" as in "boy"

⧖: Pronounced like "ay" as in "say"

⩩: Pronounced like "ai" as in "kite"

⩬: Pronounced like "ah" as in "father"

⧤: Pronounced like "ee" as in "see"

These are the pronunciation for the alphabets.”

Elijah: “I think there are very few alphabets to form proper sentences.”

Jin: “Well that is because we use these differently in different situations you will understand as you master the language.”

Marcus: “I see.”

Sarah: “Um, Jin if you don’t mind can I ask you something.”

Jin: “Sure.”

Sarah: “No matter how powerful we are you can’t expect us to fight an army. So do we have any allies?”

Jin: “Well I was thinking about mentioning it later but now that things came to this point I am going to tell you what you need to do.”

All the Apostils started listening intensely and were waiting for Jin to speak

Jin: “The first and most important thing is even though this was caused by the evil god, we gods do not have any proof and cannot act without permission from the god of creation. So You guys need to negotiate with the other intelligent being to be on your side. The first one I suggest is Dark Elves and you can continue with Dwarves.”

Elijah: “But aren’t these people of other intelligent races isolated from humans will they accept the request the pleas of us.”

Jin: “You raise a good point Elijah but the most important thing you need to understand is you guys stopped being humans after you accepted the power from the gate of Nepheliem.”

Lilly: “What do you mean that we are not humans anymore.”

Jin: “Well your bodies changed from that of humans to that of Nepheliem when you accepted their power.”

Marcus: “Um Jin, I think it will be taking a lot of time for us to learn the language”

Jin: “You do not need to worry about that. Once you master the basics of the language I am going to transfer the full knowledge of the language to your brains.”

Jackson; “I understand all of this but why do we need to start with Dark Elves first?”

Jin: “Well the answer to that is simple. As the Dark Elves are a species which worships the goddess of Darkness they will instantly recognize you and will support you.”

After that, the group began to try and master the basics of the language and they sparred with each other until Rian raised a certain question.

Rian: “Jin what are we going to do tomorrow.”

Jin: “Well as I traveled all the worlds and dimensions I learned of their various powers and techniques so I am going to test your affinities with their powers and I am going to train the powers or which you have the best affinity with.”

Lilly: “I see so what are we going to do for the rest of the day”

Jin: “Well we are going to do some cold-resistant training for the rest of the day.”

Then suddenly out of nowhere, Jin opened a portal and everyone entered the portal they were surprised by the surroundings as they were surrounded by snow from all sides.”

Jin: “This is a dimension in which six days is one hour outside and you are going to survive the cold with the help of mana but you need to decrease the amount of every hour.”

All the members of the group except Jin “WHAT……?”

Jin: “Yes you are going to survive here for six days and you can only eat the cold food I am going to give you.”

Raphtalia: “You mean even I should undergo this training?”

Jin: “Only if you want or you can help me set up the food in our dimension because it only going to be an hour outside and they are going to be craving for some hot food by the time they are going to come out of here.”

Raphtalia: “I think I am going to come with you.”

Jin: “Ok.”

Then both Jin and Raphtalia left the world but he called Elijah to a side and said something that shook him to his bones.

Elijah: “Are you sure?”

Jin: “Yes I am sure and even I had some initial doubts but I confirmed it with a greater being.”

Elijah: “I see thank you for telling me if Jackson knows this he will be devastated but still I need to do what I need to do. I will tell him when the time is right.”

Jin: “Ok now go start the training.”

Elijah: “Ok.”

Then Jin left the dimension by giving them the necessary food for their stay of six days.

Meanwhile, the group coated themselves in a shroud of mana and began training and they also sparred with each other. They did as they were told and began to reduce the amount of mana but it was getting harder and harder.

That night they began to rest but they were struggling to fall asleep with the cold, but at last, they were able to sleep wishing it would all be a dream.
