Disclaimer: i don't own Infinite Stratos nor do I own the OC's put into this story, They both belong to Izuru Yumizuru and Imherepresent.
Chapter 188:
There was always something about the island shrine that Ichika and his sisters was currently staying on, Ichika could feel that much from the island but so far hasn't been able to figure out what this 'something' was. That being said. The island held a structure that appeared to be extremely large for its size, The Structure showed no issue showing its Japanese artistry style of look that it added to the structure itself.
Put away its bewildering presence that it held on the island, Ichika felt that he was swallowed in this massive building due to its size. This lead to Ichika and his sisters getting lost quite often when trying to find their sleeping quarters.
Putting all of this aside, the island held a ominous feeling that chilled Ichika's sisters to the bone. Madoka didn't know what it was, but neither did Chifuyu surprisingly. All they knew is that it was there and there was no way it was going away anytime soon.
Chifuyu suspected that their was something Nobume wasn't telling them but didn't want to interrogate Nobume quite yet.
Waking up due to the presence, Ichika decided to sit up and take in the view of his sisters peacefully sleeping away.
"Zzz..zzZ."
"..."
Ichika smiled at the relaxed faces of his sisters and stared at them for a while. Finally breaking out of the gaze, Ichika turned his eyes towards the glass doors which lead to the balcony of this magnificent building.
( Sleeping is getting me nowhere, I need some fresh air.)
Carefully Ichika tried to get up without making too much noise, Once Ichika was able to stand up, he made his way outside onto the balcony.
Ichika placed his hands on the railing and began to take in the soft touch of the delicate breeze. The breeze felt soft against his skin and it made feel at ease for once. Feeling like this, Ichika closed his eyes, and began to think to himself,
( I wonder what the girls are currently doing? I hope they are doing fine.)
A wave of nostalgia began to hit Ichika.
" I wonder when i'll be able to go back to the academy?"
The boy mumbled quietly, This got the attention of the person in the shadows.
" Another month or so."
A voice called out to Ichika, This caught the boy off-guard for a moment until Nobume walked out of the shadows.
"Oh Nobume."
Ichika snapped out of his daze.
" Nobume what are you doing here?" Ichika questioned Nobume, Obviously surprised that she came from nowhere.
" I felt your presence, so I wanted to check up on you."
Nobume glanced at Ichika.
"Yeah.. I couldn't sleep, Something is keeping me up and i can't tell what it is."
Ichika stated to Nobume, Nobume began to realise what was keeping him up.
"I see you are beginning to feel it, your sisters must be feeling it as well, this is very good progress."
Nobume smiled, This only seemed to confused Ichika more.
"I'm not understanding what you are trying to say Nobume."
Ichika stared at Nobume with a puzzled expression waiting for Nobume to provide an answer.
" Well I cannot say too much on that matter, but what I can say is that your power is starting to take in what you should of years ago..."
Nobume stared out to the dark sky. This statement gave Ichika some answers but only seemed to give him more questions.
" By years ago do you mean when I was here with mom? "
Ichika stared at Nobume. Nobume turned her head back to Ichika to give him a response.
"Yes, you would of been far more powerful if you did this training years ago."
Nobume replied to Ichika's question, which left Ichika in feeling of gnaw.
"Anyway Ichika, what matters is now and now we can get to teach what you and your sisters were meant to learn years back. "
Nobume smiled with relief when she saw Ichika no longer thinking too much about her answers.
"Right, You mentioned that I will be going back to the academy soon."
Ichika asked Nobume
"That's correct, We do not want to overwork you three, so we planned to teach you in 3 separate fragments."
Nobume Explained to Ichika
"Those separate stages are?"
Ichika asked with full attention drawn to Nobume.
" 1) will be Aura control which you are currently doing. 2) [Judgement call training] As for 3) that is a type of special training which will bring out the power in each of you.
Nobume stated to the now thoughtful Ichika.
"So just like this training, will there be breaks between individual training?"
Ichika questioned Nobume.
"Correct, well Ichika you need your rest, tomorrow is going to be a long day of training."
Nobume said whilst keeping her eye on Ichika.
Scratching the back of his head, Ichika tried to come up with some excuse to continue the conversation between him and Nobume.
To no avail Ichika sighed as a surrender of defeat.
"Fine im off to bed. Goodnight Nobume."
Ichika said, Nobume smiled.
"Goodnight Ichika"
Nobume silently began to walk into the shadows of the balcony as Ichika walked inside of the room.
(Time to sleep..)
Ichika made himself comfortable in his futon again and slept the night away.
