Disclaimer: I do not own Yuuri! On Ice.
"Victor I need to ask you something." Yuuri said as he and Victor were about to begin training again.
"Yuuri you don't have to tell me." Victor said with a slight laugh. "You can just ask me."
"Well I know I can summon a weapon but when I first awoke as a Guardian I felt different. I'm pretty sure I even looked different." Yuuri couldn't help but look over his body.
"Ah you must be referring to our Guardian Form." Victor leaned against the wall. "Sadly I don't when you'll be able to achieve it again. Having a Guardian Form is the sign of being a Full Guardian."
"And I'm just a Fledgling." Yuuri sulk before sitting down.
"Hey we all started there at some point." Victor sat down next to him and started to comfort him. "But with how quickly you got summoning your weapon you'll be fine."
"How do I unlock my Guardian Form?" Yuuri couldn't help but think of the rush of power he received when he was in that form. He felt like he could take down an entire army by himself with the snap of his fingers. He could take down foes left and right. Now it was gone.
"With training. The more spells you master, the closer closer you are to obtaining your Guardian Form. Luckily you don't have to master every single spell but with a good chuck of them you'll be set." Victor stood up in triumph.
"Teach me one! Teach me one!" Yuuri got up very excided.
"Well let me see." Victor tapped his chin and started to walk away.
"Please." Yuuri started to beg a bit.
"Maybe we can started with the Elemental Orb. It's a rather easy spell to master." Victor summoned an orb that appeared to made of rock. "Every Guardian has either Earth, Air, Fire, or Water. It's how humans came with their Zodiac sign elements. For some reason people think they have to do with birthdays, well there is some correlation it isn't the only factor."
"Which one will I get?" Yuuri wonder excitingly. "Okay teach me that spell."
"Very well." Victor walked into the center into the training center and Yuuri followed. "Now follow my stance."
Victor lifted his arm and held his hand in front of him. He closed his eyes as he cupped his hand. "Meum vocavi elementum."
With those words a few pebbles emerged from his hands. Those pebbles moved in a circle before the orb formed. Victor summon what looked like a target and tossed the orb at the target. Victor smiled before leading Yuuri in front of the target.
"Now focus. Cup your hand and pretend you're welcoming the element. It it not only your tool it is an alley." Victor explained carefully. "Make sure you say every word. The better the words are said the better the spell is cast."
Yuuri took a deep breath in and recited the spell. He felt his hand grow warm, very warm. He looked and saw flames fly out of his hand and form the orb. He couldn't help but stare.
"Impressive." Victor said looking at the orb. "Now throw it."
Without hesitation Yuuri threw the orb at the target. While, it missed it was rather close. Before the fire could spread some water came down to put it out.
"That didn't even hurt." Yuuri said looking at his hand. He didn't see a single burn mark or a single red mark.
"Like I said the fire is your alley. As long as you trust it, it will trust you." Victor repeated while gesturing.
"I don't really know how fire trust people but I'll just go with it." Yuuri thought to himself but shrugged to himself. "Okay I'm going to try it again."
Victor nodded and allowed Yuuri to attempt it again. Yuuri restated the incantation and once again he felt his warm up until the sparks reemerged. This time as the orb took form Yuuri couldn't help but notice the flames danced a bit in his hands. Out of curiosity Yuuri reached his other hand into the orb. It didn't hurt at all.
Victor couldn't help but laugh a little and Yuuri glared at him. "I tried that the first time I summoned my orb. Sure it's only made of rocks but they seem to avoid me."
Yuuri flung the fire orb at the target again and it missed. Yuuri sighed.
"Don't worry Yuuri soon this will become second nature." Victor shrugged Yuuri's fears off.
"Well sports aren't my thing." Yuuri joked.
Yuuri tried again. It took five more tired until Yuuri was able to hit the target. When the flame was put out by the magic Yuuri saw the target was unharmed. Before Yuuri couldn't question it he decided to chalk it up to it being magic. He had been with the Guardians for enough time for him to start chalk up his questions to magic. Sure it was a cliche but he had known a lot about Guardians for a bit to know how much their lives revolved around magic. He was pretty sure he even saw Yurio use magic to make a bowl of cereal. Yuuri really hoped Yurio was just tired when he did that because Yuuri wasn't sure how he felt now being apart of a society where the citizens couldn't live without magic.
"Yuuri that was amazing." Victor jumped up and down excitingly.
The fledgling kept to it. With each spell he felt the Elemental Orb getting powerful. Somethings it felt like the orb was going to cover his arm. Yuuri thought that would be cool, it would be like a second weapon, except it was his fist. With throw his hit to miss ratio lowered greatly.
"How about we take a break?" Victor suggested after Yuuri practiced the spell for a bit.
"Who long does it take to master a spell, not just this one but any spell." Yuuri asked after firing another orb.
"It depends on the spell." Victor couldn't help but smile. He was really liking this training thing. "The easy ones take a few days but some of the more advanced one can take years."
"Years?" Yuuri started to get nervous. "Does that mean I'll never become a Full Guardian?"
"No no as your, I'll say coach, I think it would be best if we start with easier spells. There some harder spells that I've tried and mastered that taken a while but I only started them after I became I Full Fledged Guardian."
"Hopefully I get at least this one down soon."
"Here I'll help you master spell once you can either say the spell very quickly or don't need to say the spell at all." Victor demonstrated by summoning his earth orb without saying a word.
"That is amazing." Yuuri admired the orb. He then thought to himself. "I have to keep working at it. I need to learn as many spells as I can. My family is still trapped some where and I need to save them. The more spells I know the better I'll be able to fight off the captures."
