Chapter 4 harnessing and control
A/n: well, Seems people like this story. Sorry that I haven't posted for this story, However my game Valkyrie connect has updated on some new characters and weapons that I can use (the weapons I mean). And let me say this again, Kyle will only be using weapons from this app game only.
Every weapon in Valkyrie connect has one skill, And I'll only add in some changes to those skills when the situation calls for it.
Now I will make sure to put in the pros and cons that involve Kyle's runes. And I even have a lover for him:
Tiffania!
-facepalm- fuck...she's a blond...don't worry. I'm making sure that Kyle's view on blond chicks changes as the story goes. Oh yes, Remember when season four involved that dragon, Yeah I'm only stopping at around season 4, But Minus That dragon. But that's my opinion.
Hope you enjoy the story!
Kyle and Naomi were both walking down the hall conversing with one another. Naomi was learning more and more about Louise's familiar with each second, However when he mentioned why he was mute in the first place, She couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"I'm sorry that you had to go through that in your life..." Naomi truthfully told him. Kyle just sighed as he placed his automail hands behind his back. "It's fine...you get used to it after some time..." Kyle Silently told Naomi "I just hope that this magic is able to change my view on life soon...having suicidal thoughts is...unhealthy..." Kyle finished.
Naomi quickly looked at him.
"You're suicidal?!" She asked him in shock.
Naomi got a nod from the mute.
"Yes...I was going to tell you that after I finished my story on how my brother was killed today. I developed suicidal thoughts and I still suffer from depression and Survivor's guilt too" Kyle silently told her as he then moved his left automail arm to his face, As he glanced at the runes permanently etched into the metal. He thankfully had his "magic rune powers" notebook on hand as he then pulled it out with his right hand and opened it to see what Jean Colbert had wrote to him for ways to activate his runes:
Mr. Scherer, I think that these methods might help you in activating your rune abilities:
Number one, Try saying summon, Then think of some sort of item or weapon.
Number two, If this rune is connected with your mind, You could active it with a mind link. An old form of how some magic was created.
If these two methods don't work, Then come visit me in my office, I am in the second building pillar. I hope that you succeed in your methods to activate your runes power.
Kyle just blinked as he finished reading the notes, All he knew that the runes on his arm stood for "Dimensional Valkyrie Armory". That's all he knew, And he had no way to properly use it, He needed help from a student who knew more about this Dimensional Valkyrie Armory stuff. As Kyle was looking at his runes, Naomi glanced at him a bit as she saw him look at his runes. "Trying to figure out what they mean?" Naomi asked.
Kyle was out of his train of thought as he looked at her and shook his head at her before he then spoke to her. "No, I understand what it means. I just don't know how to activate it" Kyle silently answered her. Naomi then began to ponder to herself "Ah I see..." she said out-loud "Hmmm, Ha hah! I know who can help you with activating your runes!".
Kyle was happy and curious as to what Naomi had in mind, Kyle wanted to activate this newfound given power soon. He wanted to see what this so called armory held within it. "Really? You know someone who can help me?" Kyle Silently asked her with hope in his eyes as he got a nod and a smirk from Naomi whose pupils turned into lanterns. "Yes I do! And her name is Tabitha! Let's go to her room!" Naomi then grabbed Kyle's right arm as they headed to see Tabitha.
-downstairs-
Naomi and Kyle were making there way to see Tabitha and see if she could help out Kyle. As they were making their way downstairs they saw none other than Guiche flirting with a first year student. Naomi and Kyle stopped as they reached the last step. Naomi quickly had a narrow glare on her face when she saw him.
"Oh great...Guiche..." Naomi expressed with annoyance.
"Guiche...?" Kyle Silently asked.
Naomi then glanced over at him as she then explained to him in a hushed tone. "He's a second year, Same as Louise and Tabitha. He's dating a girl named Montmorency, Who is also a second year. But he's a damn snake! Using his charm to womanize any girl that he wants behind her back. I can't stand him for that!" Naomi hen glared at Guiche as her pupils then turned into fire "Just Seeing him makes me want to put him in his place, And take sweet Montmorency all for myself...but I'll never understand why she even loves him...it hurts to see her with an un-loyal man..." Naomi expressed sadly.
Kyle just looked at Naomi then at Guiche, After hearing and learning about that he was going to make sure to avoid him entirely. Naomi then tugged on his arm as they proceeded to move forward and walk pass them. As they walked by, They overheard Guiche flirting with the first year.
"Oh! You would love to try one of my treats, Lord Guiche?" Katie expressed with delight. Guiche gave Katie his signature smiles as he spoke to her with soothing words of love and truth "Of course, My dear Katie. Don't you know that I would never lie to you" he told her as little hearts were forming above Katie's head. "Oh! Lord Guiche" Katie muttered in awe, However there little flirting was interrupted by Naomi and Kyle passing by.
"Oh? It's that peasant mute boy...with third year Naomi no less..." Guiche pondered out-loud. Katie just looked at them, The whole school had heard about Louise's familiar being mute, And unlike some of the third and second years, The first years felt truly sorry for the young boy, Katie being one of them. She wanted to talk to him, But decided against it since she was with Guiche at the moment, And wanted their conversation to be private.
Naomi and Kyle both rolled their eyes as they were almost out of the clear. When suddenly...
"Hold on...a peasant that walks by nobility, An not a simple apology?" Guiche told Kyle as he then smiled "Just because you're here at this school, It doesn't make you equal with us nobles. Peasants should know their place in society if they want to survive in this world since they don't know magic" Guiche added to his statement.
Kyle just stood there as he then turned around to face him and Katie, He then crossed his arms as he then spoke out at him.
"Tsk! Hearing those kind of words from an ungrateful little pretty boy looking douchebag like you really pisses me off right now! Oh how I'd love to understand how these runes work right now, Maybe I could use this power to beat the bitch out of you" Kyle Silently insulted Guiche right in front of his face.
Guiche and Katie were at an absolute loss when he wordlessly spoke to them, Kyle took note of this lack of understanding lip-speaking and used it to his advantage whenever he wanted to insult someone to their face openly, However Naomi fully understood his lip-speaking as she just laughed and snickered.
The two nobles didn't understand what Kyle had just said, And Naomi's laughter only confused them more. "Naomi, Why are you giggling?" Guiche asked her "Do you even understand what this peasant is saying?". Naomi just kept giggling to herself "O-oh I do indeed, Guiche. I can read lips, It's quite a useful technique that can come in handy at times" Naomi told him.
"Then what did he say? Come on, Tell us" Guiche asked her, However Naomi just wagged her finger at him. "Sorry Guiche. But even I, Naomi the master of lip-reading. Have absolutely no idea what he just said to the both of you..." Naomi lied, She knew full well what Kyle had said to him, And she would keep it between themselves.
Guiche just sighed in annoyance at this waste of time.
"Well, What a waste of time. What's the point of proclaiming to be a master of lip-reading if you cannot understand a simple peasant boy?" Guiche asked her "So much for a master of lip-reading".
Naomi was quickly getting furious at that little jab, She was about to pull out her wand, Only for Kyle to stop her. Naomi looked over at him as Kyle spoke to her.
"Let it go for now..." Kyle Silently said to her "Don't worry, We'll get even with him in due time". Naomi wanted to protest, But she decided to listen to the mute pre-teen as she put her wand away as they walked off. Guiche then called out to them again.
"I still didn't get my apology!" Guiche demanded as the two turned around and filled him off.
"ITS UP YOUR ASS! YOU PRICK!" Naomi shouted as they left, Leaving a narrow glaring Guiche and a slightly frightened Katie.
-Tabitha's room-
Tabitha was reading her same old book as she was in her bed, She had placed a silent spell in her room so she wouldn't be interrupted by anyone that came in. Her familiar, A dragon known as Sylphid was staying in the forest as she was a bit too big to stay in the school grounds. As Tabitha kept reading, Her door gently opened as Naomi and Kyle came inside.
"Tabitha?" Naomi asked her in a kind tone of voice "My apologies for entering your room without knocking...oh!".
"What's wrong?" Kyle Silently asked Naomi who then looked over at him.
"Tabitha placed a silence spell in her room so she wouldn't be distracted nor disturbed when she is reading her favorite book" Naomi explained to him. Kyle was impressed, The mages had more up their sleeves than he gave them credit, All the more reason to figure out these runes and somehow he on par with them. Tabitha then glanced up at Naomi and Kyle as she then grabbed her staff that was at her bedside and de-spelled the silent spell.
"Hello..." Tabitha spoke in her usual calm tone "Did you both need something?".
The two looked at her as Kyle began to carefully speak to her, Making extra sure to slow his lips when he spoke to her. "Yes..." Kyle silently spoke up "I am in need of your help, Naomi here told me that you could understand these runes of mine. I would like to learn how to activate them, With your assistants of course. I'll do whatever I can to repay you for your help" Kyle finished.
Tabitha looked at Kyle moving his lips carefully, She, Like Naomi could understand lip-reading. She took in all that he had said to her as she gave him a nod as her answer.
"I will help you both" Tabitha responded to them "And, As for repayment. I only ask of one thing". This made Naomi slightly smirk and Kyle smile at her. "Oh thank you! Thank you so much, Tabitha! Just ask away, And I'll do my best to repay you" Kyle Silently told her with joy. Tabitha nodded at him as she then told him of what payment that she would like to receive.
"I wish to learn how to speak like you do".
"Like I do? Wait, You...want to learn lip-speaking as well as note conversations, Or sign language?" Kyle Silently questioned her so he could figure out what she wanted.
"The first one, Lip-speaking" Tabitha asked of him.
Kyle nodded at her "Deal, I will teach you that" he silently agreed to her type of payment, Which made the blue haired mage smile a bit as she then got from her bed and picked up her staff. "We should head outside to figure out your runes, And to not destroy the school" Tabitha suggested. Kyle and Naomi agreed with her choice as the three then headed down to the hallway.
-large fountain-
The group made their way to the large fountain that was in the schools main hall. As they were making their way outside, They saw Kirche with one of her many admirers as they were sitting on the fountain side.
"Kirche, My love. This day is perfect" her admirer said to her.
"It will be even perfect for tonight as well" Kirche told him.
As they were enjoying their time together, Kirche then saw her friend Tabitha with third year Naomi, And Louise's familiar, Kyle as they walked out the door. Kirche was now curious as to what her friend was doing with Louise's familiar.
'Strange, What's Tabitha doing with Louise the zeros familiar all of a sudden?' Kirche thought.
-outside-
The trio were away from prying eyes and were all alone, This is what Tabitha wanted, She wanted Kyle to have a solitary area for him to learn his rune abilities. Kyle hen pulled out the notebook that Jean Colbert had wrote in and gave it to Tabitha for her to look over.
"This is what told me to try to activate my runes" Kyle silently explained to Tabitha as he looked at his runes again 'Dimensional Valkyrie Armory...the armory I understand, As well as the dimensional part, But where does the Valkyrie come into play?' Kyle thought until Tabitha spoke up.
"Let's go with the first method of your abilities. Try saying something that relates to a weapon or item" Tabitha instructed him. Kyle broke out of his train of thought as he looked at her and gave Tabitha a nod, Kyle took a few deep breaths before he began to start.
"Okay..." Kyle silently muttered 'Maybe I should try saying something simple. Maybe an item from my Valkyrie connect app game that was on my cellphone. It's better than nothing' Kyle thought as he then held out his automail hands forward.
"Lightning gloves!".
That's when the runes on his left automail arm started to quickly glow white, As then two black gloves with a lightning insignia on the top of the gloves had covered his automail hands, Lightning surging all over from the glowing blue lightning insignia. Both Tabitha and Naomi, As well as Kyle were surprised, Kyle just did it as a test, He had no idea that it would actually happen.
"No way..." Kyle Silently expressed his shock "These...are the lightning gloves from my Valkyrie connect app game...", That's when it finally clicked into his head. He now fully understood what the Valkyrie part was for now.
'Wait...' he thought 'If I could summon the lightning gloves, Then maybe I could summon the grimoire of accusation too...let's try that next but with the mind this time'. While Tabitha and Naomi were still looking at his first successful attempt, Kyle was already thinking of the grimoire of accusation in his mind. His runes glowed quickly again, And a grey book with a strange design on the front and small red gem in the center was now in his hand. He opened his eyes as he saw the book within his grasp.
"Perfect, Both attempts are successful! Plus, That means that the Dimensional Valkyrie Armory might have been inspired from my Valkyrie connect app game!" Kyle Silently assumed to himself. His theory wasn't 100% right, But it was just a theory that he could come up with. He then walked over to Tabitha and gave her the grimoire. "Here, You should have this. It might help us out" Kyle Silently gave her the book as Tabitha nodded and took it into her hands. Tabitha just looked at the book for a bit until she then opened it, As she was looking over the book, Naomi came over to her side to see what was in the book as well.
"A book? First gloves, Now a book?" Naomi asked Tabitha with question marks in her pupils. Tabitha was finished skimming through the grimoire as she then went back to the first page and read it out-loud:
"This grimoire contains the history of the most powerful weapons to ever be created by both gods, Mages, Monsters, Humans, And knights from different dimensions. Each weapon has at least one skill, That can be used an unlimited amount of times. And can be charged to increase it's power. This grimoire is one such weapon of the many weapons that it has recorded within it's pages. There are over 177 weapons that have been recorded, Two of which are legendary weapons: one made by a god. The other a mage. Pets can be considered weapons as well, But the catch is that they can only be summoned once. If they are killed, Then they can be re-summoned again. Some accessories such as clothes, And jewelry can be considered weapons too".
Naomi was fascinated by all of this information, But Kyle knew all of the weapons in Valkyrie connect, As well as their skills. But he would make sure to take a look at them in case things changed from the game. Kyle then pondered if he could pull off the lightning gloves skill: Raikouken. Kyle then held his arms back as he then said the name of the skill.
"Raikouken!".
That's when the lightning gloves then created a ball of lightning in-between his palms, Kyle then kept holding it as he started to charge the ball of lightning, As it then got bigger and bigger before he then released it upward into the sky. Naomi was astounded while Tabitha was impressed. Kyle then summoned another grimoire of accusation as he then handed it over to Naomi.
"Perfect, Just What I wanted as my result" Kyle Silently smirked. "You should have one too, Naomi" Kyle Silently suggested to her as the grimoire was now in her hands. Naomi smirked rather darkly, She quickly opened the book as she then landed on a pair of fiery gloves. She licked her lips as she then tried to summon them.
"Fiery gloves!".
There was a long pause, But nothing happened. Naomi was confused by this. Did she say the name wrong? Or was there a different way to summon the item. However before she could figure it out, Tabitha quickly thought of the answer.
"Perhaps only he can summon them" Tabitha told Naomi "I guess is that we can only receive them as gifts, And use their abilities". Naomi understood what Tabitha was explaining to her as she then looked at Kyle as her pupils turned into hearts. "Can you please summon these for me? I'll make sure to pay you back, I swear! Please! Please! Please!" Naomi pleaded. Kyle just looked at Naomi and happily sighed at her as he smirked, Even thought they had just met, He did consider her a friend, Heck, She was also able to understand him so that was a plus.
"Sure, I can give those to you, Since I can I can copy the same item more than once" Kyle Silently expressed as he then summoned the fiery gloves for her, As soon as he gave them to her, Naomi quickly put them on. She tightened her fists, Gleefully smiling like some kind of lunatic.
"Oh! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Naomi expressed with great joy as she cracked her knuckles, As the gloves then began to be covered in flames. But they didn't hurt her in the slightest "Heh heh, With these gloves I'll be able to burn anything with my BARE HANDS!" Naomi shouted as she then turned off the flames on her new gloves and took them off as she placed them in-between her large breasts. Tabitha just blinked as Kyle facepalmed.
'Breasts Aren't for storage...' Kyle thought until Tabitha spoke up a bit. "We should work with this book" she said "Let's work on summoning and controlling any skills that could be used to your liking" she suggested. Kyle thought that her method was a good idea to start.
He nodded at her in agreement. "Let's!".
A/n: sorry this one is short, I'm sorry. I'm trying to write all of my stories one step at a time, But everyone wants me to work on Wolf of Keijo and put my other stories on the side for latter until that's finished. So I absolutely apologize for how long this took to update everyone. But I am glad to see new people liking and reading this story.
Now as I stated, I'm only using weapons and items from the Valkyrie connect app game only. This includes the skills from that games items and weapons, So I apologize. I'll work on what accessories that Kyle will have, As well as the others that he gifts items too latter in the story.
But for now, This is all I can update for now, As I have to go back to the Wolf of Keijo fanfiction. So I hope that all of you stick around, And if you have any comments that you would like to ask of me for this story. Feel free to ask away, I'll answer to the best of my abilities.
P.s: Tiffania is Kyle's love interest. Sorry, But I just really like her (no, Not just because of her huge breasts). I just, Like my automail fetish, Have an elf fetish as well. But that's an explanation for another day.
