145 Sky Archery (1/2)
The next morning Yale felt very well, he was that used to his wings that he almost forgot that he had the wings out until Aiwai said it to him.
When Yale thought about hiding them, they disappeared before he used Shape Shift.
Yale was happy when he noticed that, even if he hid that happiness from Aiwai and Wyba. The fact he could summon and hide the wings at will without using Shape Shift meant that his control of the Frost Winged Wolf Bloodline was far better than before.
At that moment, Yale didn't feel anything strange with his wings; he felt that they were part of his body and will appear whenever he wished, it was the opposite feeling he had when he merely created useless wings with Shape Shift.
Yale also felt better with his wolf tail and ears, but he didn't feel them as normal as he felt the wings. He guessed that if he also got completely used to them, he would be able to switch between human form and half-beast form at will without needing Shape Shift.
Yale always felt strange that he as a human who had perfectly integrated with a beast bloodline was unable to transform into a half-beast at will without the need of external skills. However, he was wrong; it wasn't that he couldn't do it, the true reason was that he didn't have enough good control of the bloodline to be able to do it.
Another reason for Yale's happiness was that he had also noticed a change in Bloodline Force that morning. Before, the skill just increased the Strength and the Agility, but after Yale improved his control of the bloodline, it also added Vitality to the boosts.
Sadly, the bloodline was still too weak to let Bloodline Force had any useful effect on the current Yale, Wyba needed to improve more in order to strengthen the bloodline before Yale could use Bloodline Force well.
That day, thanks to his big improvement in exchange of his pride, Yale was able to fly far better than before, but he still felt that he lacked a bit more to reach the level he had in the premonition.
Aiwai was pleased with Yale's improvement, and Wyba was surprised; she had been enticed to compete with her big brother to see who would finish first, but she saw that her big brother held a lot of advantage compared to her.
”You understand it, Wyba? Yale started in disadvantage compared to you, but with his effort, he already has an advantage towards you.”
Aiwai really felt that Yale managed to reach that point with his effort, he had put a lot of effort to endure the embarrassment in order to get stronger.
That motivated Wyba, she loved her big brother, but she didn't want to lose pathetically against him, at least if she had to lose, she wanted to lose by a small margin.
While Wyba was still trying to use a wind skill, Yale was combining the Wind Wings with his own wings to fly faster, he still had room to improve, but with his current speed, fleeing from enemies who couldn't fly shouldn't be a problem.
”Sis, I will try to practice archery while flying. Any advice?”
Aiwai was his big sister, but at the same time she was also Yale's master in Archery, he had complete trust in any advice she gave to him.
”You will understand it better with experience than with some words. Only remember to stop before shooting. Shooting while in movement in mid-air is harder than it seems. First, master well how to use archery without moving in mid-air.”
Yale was pleased with Aiwai's advice, so he decided to reply with some words she would like although they were a bit shameful for him.
”Thank you, sis! You are the best!”
Aiwai indeed liked to hear her little brother praising her, although she would have liked even more an ”I love you, sis” than what Yale said, but knowing Yale's personality she knew he had already put all his effort to say those words.
Wyba was more used to say that kind of cute things towards her without thinking too much, and Aiwai liked to hear her that a lot, but Wyba wasn't as hard-worker as Yale.
