37 Chapter 37: The Pendant around your neck.
Standing in the midst of the cold night, Kevin looked up to the roof of the dorm building which was about thirty two storey buildings far from the ground.
“Your first lesson is to learn how to flap those wings. Close your eyes, breath in and picture your wings flapping against each other, then we’re set to go.” The system instructed.
Kevin did as Instructed. He breathed inward, pictured the image of his wings and waited for it to flap against each other but unfortunately it didn’t work. It was a failure.
“Come on, these wings are useless.” Kevin complained.
“Dear User, do not lose hope. You need to believe in yourself to be able to do this. You do not believe in your capabilities that’s why you weren’t able to do such an easy thing as this.”
“Oh! were you a fairy before becoming an A1? Damn, you annoy me. If you think it’s easy, come and do it in my place.”
“Kevin! stop being a lazy ass and do as I ordered you to do!” The system said angrily.
Kevin jerked away in shock as he heard the system shout so loud into his ears.
“What!”
.....
“User, I think you need to be trained in the hard way.” The system replied. “Now do as I order you to do. Perfectly with no mistake. Did you understand!”
“Hey, what’s that for. Do you have to shout in my head all the time, I may have an headache at this rate.”
“If that’s what will make you learn quickly, then why not. Now flap those wings for me before you get a different type of punishment. From this moment on, I’m your master. I’m no longer giving you the honorifics I’ve been giving you, do you understand pupil?!” The system shouted again.
“Yes! but stop shouting in my head.”
“I’m your master you idiot, how dare you answer me that way. Now, do you understand me?”
“Yes Master.” Kevin forcefully said as he grab hold of his head.
The snow had stopped but there was still an immense amount of cold everywhere. Thankfully, Kevin was able to keep himself warm after learning from the system that he had an inner energy that could do the trick. That was basically their first lesson after he agreed to obey the system’s order. Although the system didn’t count the energy as a lesson, Kevin still thought of it as a new discovery. He never knew he had something as useful as the inner energy, he got more excited after hearing that he could use the energy to form weapons of different types. Luckily, he’s great in swordmanship and could use other weapons efficiently, there would be no need learning much of it. His only concern is the utilizing of Magic into his body and weapons. He would so strong if he could learn all these skills. That’s why he’s doing his best to do as the system orders him. But what he noticed was that the inner energy was the same as his Mana. He had this question in his mind, thinking of what the Mana does apart from healing his wounds and adding to his health points, now he discovered that it was the inner energy every magical creatures have in their body.
“Yay! I finally did it. I can feel my wings flapping against each other. They are not useless after all.” Kevin exclaimed excitedly.
“Well done pupil, you have successfully completed your first lesson. It’s time to move on to the next step. Which is flying back and forth. A stamina point will be granted for completing your first lesson with me.”
“But, this is the second lesson you’ll be teaching me.” Kevin argued.
“Hush! I’m your master, I know what I’m saying. What did you know pupil?”
Just at that moment, the system had notified Kevin by displaying a system notification tab above his face.
“Yeah, that will be enough for you to stay in the air for ten minutes. Come on flap your wings together. Very soon, you won’t need to close your eyes before you could fly. In fact, it will all stop once you are able to fly perfectly.”
“Are you sure?” Kevin asked as he fluttered his eyes open after managing to flap his wings together.
“Aye, it’s just a matter of time as long as you believe in yourself. More luckily, you are a Triling and not a Fairy, flying is an easy task for dudes like you. It takes just a day with believe in yourself. It can’t be compared to those fairies who spend two months learning how to fly.”
“So, I’m so lucky for being a Triling? A race no one knows about.”
“Point of correction, lots of people knows about a Triling, including humans, but the last Triling that ever existed was dead five hundred years ago. So most of those that knew him are all old elves and fairies. As for the humans, they only read stories about Trilings, none of the humans that saw the last Triling were still alive.
But I would warn you, some humans had formed a group whose belief are against the existence of a Triling creature. They bear a great grudge with magical creatures that a war even occured between both three race. That’s why the Elf and Fairy races despises seeing an human in their world.
There was no one to tell them that what they were doing was wrong, the Triling is a friend and not an enemy. Ruling over them doesn’t mean he will treat humans as slaves. All the past humans who got to see the last Triling that existed knew how generously and equally he treated all races. But as we all know, Magical creatures tends to live longer than humans. The oldest Magical creature to ever exist was five hundred thousand years before he died. He’s the owner of the pendant that you have around your neck.”
