Chapter 696 Aquarina's New Powers

-----
While Sylphy went off with her friends to solve more quests and aid the people of the town, her mother and her father continued talking about their children's abilities. They knew that in this world, there were also powers beyond just simple spells and magic.
Unique Abilities which often depended on bloodlines, or that developed completely out of nowhere as a "mutation" of conventional magic unique to a person. And the Abilities of Sylphy in specific were simply incredible.
"I am sure of it, aside from a Sorceress, Sylphy might even be… A [Life Bestower], those Legendary Magicians of old capable of granting life to inanimate objects and allowing these items to evolve and grow stronger." Faylen said. "I can't help but feel a bit worried though, many people would try to take advantage of such powers…"
"Such as your father." Allan sighed.
"Yeah… If he were to learn about Sylphy's Unique Abilities… He would most likely try to get ahold of her and force her to create living items to reinforce the army's strength or even more, attempt to take over the nearby nations…" Sighed Faylen.
"The powers she possess could change the entire world if they fall in the wrong hands. Luckily, Sylphy seems as purehearted as I've always remembered her. I guess we've done a decent job at raising her to be a good girl." Allan felt slightly proud of his daughter.
"She is not exactly the purest lady out there but she is indeed a good girl." Faylen nodded. "She has also grown quite sharp, although a bit reckless, she's very smart. She has probably thought about this a lot of times before addressing it with us. Though…"
"Though?" Allan wondered.
"My bag…" Faylen facepalmed. "I really loved that bag and she just… turned it into a disgusting monster."
"Ahahaha, come on. Glutton was kind of cute." Allan laughed.
"Well, I gifted that bag to her so there's no going back now…" Faylen said.

(Sylphy's POV)
After having finished my talk with my parents, I quickly walked to the garden and found my friends around there. Zack and Aquarina were sparring while waiting for me to get out. The two were almost evenly matched, though I could feel both were holding back their strength quite a lot.
C L A S H! C L A S H! C L A S H!
Zack's practice axe was hitting Aquarina constantly, his movements were much more refined and intense than before. His whole physique had underwent a whole change and he was only going to get beefier as he grew up.
However, Aquarina still had an upper hand in agility and accuracy, and her blows were fast and precise, hitting all the joints and quickly pushing Zack to step back.
"What's wrong, done already?" Wondered Aquarina while giggling.
"I'm not done! Let's go for round two!" Zack quickly got himself up back again.
"Hey you two, will you stop fighting in the middle of my house's garden?" I asked, sighing a bit.
"Ah, you're finally here." Celeste yawned; she was reading a magic book. "These two had been sparring for a while now. Were they like this since they were babies?"
"More or less, though I also participated in these sparring battles as well." I said.
Aquarina suddenly jumped over me and hugged me, giving me a kiss in my cheek.
"Good morning~" She said with a giggle.
"D-Do you have to jump over me all the time?" I sighed. "I thought you would get tired of that eventually."
"Nah~" Aquarina said mischievously.
"So where are we going today Sylphy?" Mist wondered. "Oh! Is Zephy coming over too?"
"Yep, he's coming over with us once more." I sighed. "Well, today we won't go do anything dangerous. We just need to complete a few tasks."
"Oooh, sounds like fun." Said Celica. "I wonder if there could be a sewing task! Or a making clothing task!"
"I don't know, but if that happens I'll make sure to ask for your help Celica." I said, giving her a head pat.
"More importantly… Here." I gave Aquarina the Dragon Elixir.
"Huh? W-What is this? An Elixir? And it's glowing so brightly with magic essence…" Aquarina said in surprise.
"It's a special Elixir I made extracting the Sea Dragon's Blood and other materials." I said, lying a little bit. "I made it for you because I know it could help you develop your water and ice magic better, I think it could even strengthen your spirits."
"E-Eh?! Is there such a good elixir out there?" Aquarina felt perplexed. "Is this really okay? To give it to me…?"
"Sure, it's all yours!" I said with a smile.
"S-Sylphy…" Aquarina felt like she was about to cry. Is she serious right now?!
"J-Just drink it! No need to get so emotional, it is a tiny gift." I said with a smile.
"A-Alright! Okay…" Aquarina nodded. "I know you want me to grow stronger so I can protect you, I'll make sure to do so!"
It wasn't exactly to protect me, I just want her to grow stronger so she can protect herself? Well, not like I won't watch her back. But there might be times when we might not be together.
"It is more so you grow stronger for yourself." I giggled a bit.
"You don't need to be humble Sylphy." Aquarina said. "I'll always protect you! What happened in that dungeon… I won't let it happen again."
She quickly began drinking the elixir without stopping. Her entire body started overflowing with a powerful divine aura for a few seconds. The power of the sea dragon flowers quickly began boosting her strength tremendously.
"Oooh, w-what is this power?! It is a bit too much!" Aquarina panicked a bit. "My Physique is evolving?! Uwaaah! S-Scales?!"
Aquarina suddenly panicked, going back from her gallant self to her usual self.
"It seems that it worked as intended!" I said with a smile.
"As intended?! Did you wanted her to turn into a lizard?!" Celeste asked.
