15 Imprisoned in Darkness, Again... (2/2)

As if my request had been heard the Anima around me coalesced and a brilliant spark of light was born.

It really was as simple Violett had said - all it took a was a single thought.

I tried forming several things right after that; all manner of nonsense. I shot out lightning from my hands and with a single wave of my hand, called forth a torrent of flames.

I conjured swords and spears made of Anima and had them dance for me in the air. Anything seemed possible with this godly power, so I might have gotten a little bit...carried away.

Okay, fine. I let my success get to my head and I did something I shouldn't have done in a fit of passion. Everyone makes mistakes, right?

........

In the residential zone, students leisurely relaxed by the sea. Some slept in hammocks, and others gleefully played on the beach. A picturesque scene of youth.

They'd all finished practicing for the day and were taking a break when something happened.

Dark clouds formed above the island and began stirring ominously as if something lurked within them. The sky continued to darken as fierce winds began to blow, and the waves on the beach turned wild.

Something was wrong and everyone knew it. Everyone hurriedly rushed into the dormitories as they all simultaneously called for Violett for assistance.

Violett suddenly appeared in front of the storm and threw out a single fist. That was all it took to disperse the storm as it vanished into nothingness. It was rather anti-climactic, but that was all it took.

She traced back where the storm had originated from by following where the Anima waves had come from. It had come from down below, far beneath the residential section of the Reef.

A shocked and slightly amused expression formed on her when she realized where the Anima waves originated from. He truly was blessed by the Will of the World, she thought as she warped to meet him.

The way he shaped Anima was beautiful, too, albeit a tad weak. No matter though, it was something she could fix. What she couldn't fix was a lack of talent. Fortunately, he had more than enough talent...

...

I tried to summon a storm like the one that had carried me back in that godforsaken egg, but it didn't seem like it worked. At least, I don't think it worked.

I felt that I had created something far away, but it wasn't what I wanted. Perhaps I didn't visualize the storm well enough and it didn't form?

Gonna have to ask Violett for the specifics of large scale creation, I guess. Hopefully, what I ever I created didn't break anything.....

When her spatial tear opened up in front of me, I knew I'd shit the bed this time.

”H-Hey, Violett. What brings you here? Is it already time to go back home already? Haha....”

”I know what you did, Reed. Don't even bother lying to me; I tracked the Anima waves down here, and there's no else in this place other than you.”

”I don't know what you're talking about, milady. I couldn't have done anything from down here. I've been quietly practicing here like you've told me to. Yes, ma'am.”

Her stern face softened up as she pulled him into one of her infamous strangleholds of love. Back again into the fray, or rather, this woman's soft pillows. It'd be a reward if I could breathe...

”I'm not angry, Reed. You can see Anima, can't you? Not only that, you've already started playing around with it, you naughty boy. I had to clean up the mess you made up in the residential area, you know.”

My mess? ...So I was able to the summon the storm, it was just created in the residential area for some reason. Huh. That's weird.

”Oh, that. Yeah, I just wanted to see if could do it in theory, I didn't expect that'd I actually create it. Sorry about that...”

A weird thumping feeling stirred inside Violett's chest when she saw his embarrassed face. She quickly retorted, ”Don't worry about such a small thing. From now on, I'll keep watch over your practice so another incident like this doesn't happen again.”

”In any case, since you've awakened your inner eye, you won't need to come down anymore. You can just practice in the villa's training chamber from now on. But for now, why don't you take the day off and relax?”

Relax? If only I could, woman. But I can't if you've got a vice grip of on arm like I'm a death row convict.....

Wait, take the day off? Does that mean I can finally do what I want?

Here I come, guys! I'm ready to play on the beach and see the beauties!~ Heh heh heh...
