Chapter 16: Retsu's mountain training
Retsu's POV
'Really sis; the mountains to train?' I thought catching a couch to Mt. Hokobe. The quest she gave said I was suppose to train all week in the mountains. Without any clothes on too. I got out of the couch to the find myself in the middle of a raging snow storm.
'Aw really it's the middle of August.' I thought paying the freezing driver and making my way up the mountains steep road. It wasn't cold since most of my nerve endings where destroyed when I was little so I couldn't feel cold. I removed my shirt and sat down in the snow.
I closed my eyes and concentrated, soon the whirling of the storm around me softened and I didn't feel the blow of the wind against my bare skin. I opened my eyes to find myself in the center of a snow cyclone.
I forgot snow was a type of soft ice so I could manipulate it. "Okay Retsu lets get stronger then my sister." I encouraged myself walking further into the blizzard.
The wind was fierce but I was on the hunt to look for a good training spot. I came to a slight clearing with a few trees. "This seems like a good place to…" I began looking around the clearing until a big shadow blocked my path.
I looked up as the ugliest face I've ever seen appeared with a stupid look on its face. "What the hell are you doing here monkey man?" I asked him sneering with delight at an opponent to fight.
The monkey just looked at me then raised his big fist and brought it down on top of me. Only it didn't, before he knew it I was behind him yawning because I was bored. "You done yet?" I asked combing back my hair.
The monkey was enraged by the way I saw his face turn red. He charged like a bull. But before he knew it he was doing a face plant in the snow. I dusted off my hands. "Wow and I thought you would be a better opponent." I said walking away from him.
I felt something grab my leg and before I knew it I was soaring into a tree. I got up and dusted myself off. "Oh getting feisty are we?" I said smiling at the challenge.
I zoomed around him with my speed. I was known as one of the fast dragonslayers of my generation. "Ice dragon iron fist." I said hammering him into the ground.
He just got up and tried to charge me again. "Really you just don't give up do you?" I sneered preparing another move.
"Earth dragon iron claw." I yelled burying the Vulcan in dirt that was soon covered in snow. I waited for a few to see if it would come at me again; it didn't.
'Okay time to get back to my training.' I thought headed for the middle of the clearing. I looked around the clearing hunting for a nice thick tree to use. I found one about a yard from where I stood. I walked over to it and gave it a hard push.
It didn't budge, "good and strong." I said backing up. "Ice sword." I called trying a new move I've always wanted to try.
A scythe completely made of ice materialized in my right hand. "sweet." I said testing it out on the tree next to the tree I was going to train on. Sliced the tree in half like butter. I smiled ready to begin my scythe technique.
I wasn't use to swords that much; I was more of a hand on type of person. But no time like the present to learn swordsmanship. I concentrated and weighed the scythe in my hand. Perfectly light but sharp; just the way I like my scythes.
I closed my eyes and swung as hard as I could at the thick tree a few feet in front of me. I felt the edge of it sink into the bark of the tree but didn't go any farther. I took it out and looked at how deep it sank. It wasn't as deep as I had hope but I wasn't stopping until this tree was cut down.
I pulled the scythe back and gripped its hilt tightly. I put all my strength into the swing, but it only went in a few more inches. The rest of that day was spent trying to cut down that tree with my blade.
By the time that tree was half way cut the blizzard had slowed down a bit so that I could see farther than I recently could. I looked up to see a full moon bright and shining in the night sky. I smiled always loving the moon and the way it shined.
I concentrated combining an attack with the force of the scythe. "ice dragon wing slash." I said making a slice at the tree at the same time as the scythe making a downward sweeping motion.
The attack finally cut the tree in half. I lifted one side of the tree but found it to be heavy. I froze a small band around the tree a little ways up from the bottom. I then took the hilt of my scythe and broke it successfully breaking part of the tree off.
I then began my second half of my training by lifting the heavy part of the tree onto my shoulders. I did 100 squats with the weight on my back then I moved on to pushups. By the time I finished the strength training part of the training I felt stronger.
Now on to the concentration part of my training. I sat down cross-legged on the ground in the middle of my training spot. I closed my eyes and dove into my concentration of moving snow and ice. I don't know how long I was concentrating but when I came back to the world of the living I heard my name being called.
"Retsu! Retsu! Where are you?" I heard someone call. I snapped my eyes open to see my little buddy Shimo standing a yard in front of me calling for me. I still keep my concentration but just barely as I called out to him, "Shimo I'm over here." I called standing up where I was.
"Where I can't see you the snows moving too fast." He said making his way towards my voice.
"What do you mean I'm standing right here. Can't you see the blue hair it stands out like a sore thumb." I said to him as he walked closer to me.
"No all I see is snow and trees." He said back feeling around.
'Why can't he see me?' I thought confused, 'I'm standing right in front of him.' I then thought to look at arms and legs. I almost yelped I panic; I didn't see my legs all I saw was a flurry of snow and ice.
I jumped back in panic losing my concentration. "There you are Retsu." Shimo said jumping into my arms.
"I can transform into snow." I whispered looking at my hands. "What was the Retsu?" Shimo said not hearing what I said.
"I can transform into snow." I yelled spinning him in the air with joy. "Oh so that's why I could see you and I have excellent eye sight in snow blizzards." He said sharing my joy.
Then as soon as we were happy Shimo's face fell. "What's wrong Shimo?" I asked him sitting down to catch my breath. "Well Mira sent me to get you because Ru's in a coma and she won't wake up." Shimo said urgently.
"What?" I said standing up fast, "this was what I was afraid of." I said heading for the trail down the mountain with Shimo right on my heels; calling out for me to wait.
I waited for Shimo to catch up to me before saying, "can you fly me down super fast like we trained Shimo?" I asked stopping by the side of the cliff that went straight down the side of the mountain.
He nodded before sprouting his white wings. He swooped behind me and picked me up before launching us off the side of the cliff. I yelled and whooped with joy at the thrill of flying with one of my best buds. Before we knew it we were at the bottom of the mountain.
From there I hailed a taxi back to Magnolia. By the time I reached the guild the sun was setting on what I think was my third day of training. I busted down the doors of the guild to find people gathered around the infirmary. I walked over to the infirmary doors and went in. my sister was lying paler than usual on the bed with a wet towel on her forehead. "How is she?" I asked Mira who was taking the towel from her head and replacing it with a new one.
"Not she found her lying on the ground near her house and brought Jellal brought her here on his way to visit his girlfriend. She won't stop shivering and she's very warm." Mira said worried.
"Jellal who's he?" I asked then I remembered reading something about someone escaping from prison before the Grand Magic Games, then after the games he was taken off the wanted list.
Then a man with dark blue hair and a red tattoo on the right side of his face surrounding his eye walked in the room with Erza right behind him. "what happen?" Erza demanded.
"I don't know I just found her in the street on my way here." Jellal answered her as he walked by me.
"This happened before." I whispered sitting in a chair nearby.
"What?" Mira said not sure if she heard me right. "this happened before." I said again but louder.
"When and how?" Erza said going through the medicine that might have helped because Wendy wasn't there to heal her.
"Well we were young I think it was before all the dragons disappeared but that's not the point. We were in the middle of training with Earthia when Ru suddenly collapses. It seemed like it happened often because Earthia just scoops her up and carries her to her bed. She then tells me to grab her herbs and stuff so I do. She then tells me to grab several types of herbs and crush them and mix them with some water. So I do just what she says and mix them together.
She then soaks a cloth in the remedy and places it over her head. I guess it work but worked slowly because she got better in two weeks but the recovery was slow with just herbs. But I still don't know how it happens to her." I finished looking at my sister's pale face. "Wait where the hell is Luna shouldn't she be here?" I asked looking around the room.
"I'm afraid Luna's still training in the mountains I'm pretty sure she knows about Ru's condition but it won't help to just worry about it. I'm pretty sure she staying strong as should we. We just need to train and wait till she wakes up." Mira said calmly dribbling a little water in Ru's open mouth.
