Journey of the Celestial Mage
Chapter Five: A Training Montage
Palutena
(This chapter is told entirely in Lucy's point of view)
"Sunlit daggers!" commanded Palutena.
Palutena was training me today and her human form had long neon green hair, and a white sundress.
I dodged the attack but one of the daggers grazed my arm making me bleed.
"Ow!" exclaimed Lucy in pain.
"Oh dear! Lucy are you alright?" asked Palutena in sheer worry.
Palutena always told me that surprise attacks we're good when you're enemy had their guard down.
I smirked inwardly.
"Never let your guard down" I said quietly.
"What was that?" she asked.
I tackled the Goddess of Light to the ground.
"What are you doing?!" she exclaimed.
"Surprise attack!" I exclaimed back.
She smiled.
"Ok, Ok" she said. "You did good. Now fuse with me and your training for today is over."
I nodded and got off her allowing her to get up.
"Palutena, Goddess of Light: Half power mode, FUSION" I commanded.
Palutena disappeared and I was changed into her white sundress also I saw that my hair had gotten a bit longer and it now had neon green streaks in it.
"Very good Lucy!" she praised in my head.
I noticed that Palutena's sundress smelled like Peanut Butter for some reason.
"Palutena..."
"Yes?"
"Why does your sundress smell like Peanut Butter?"
"Uh… Now's not the time for questions! Your trainings done for the day so go get some well-deserved rest or work on your novel!"
Suddenly I was changed into my normal look and I could no longer feel Palutena's presence.
"Why did she act so strangely when I asked that?" I thought.
I shrugged and went back to the house.
"Probably nothing too serious" I thought.
Kesshite
Kesshite's human form… Well… It's nothing but pure black! Except for the eyes which are red…
"Just whip the targets and we're done here" she said obviously bored. "And remember what I said about focusing on your target, locking your focus entirely on your target, and then striking"
She had set up some targets for me to whip.
"Got it!" I said taking out my whip.
I focused on the targets.
'Focus… Lock…' I thought.
I got ready to strike with my whip.
'STRIKE!' I thought.
I took out all of the targets in one swipe of the whip.
'Hey! Ten out of ten targets in one swipe! That's a new record and it will probably be my highest!' I thought.
I turned around to see Kesshite with her mouth open in shock and her eyes wide.
"Ten out of ten targets in one hit… Not even Me or Palutena have been able to do that…" she said in shock.
She snapped out of her shock and summoned ten more targets.
"I say you can't do it again" she said.
I pulled my whip back ready to do it again.
I smirked and three words.
"Don't underestimate me"
After that I let my whip hit the targets and Kesshite went away one shocked Goddess that day.
Toketsu
"Toketsu are you sure this is the right way to train my balance?"
Toketsu had frozen over a big part of the forest floor and I was currently trying to keep my balance on the ice.
"Of course!" she said.
She was skating around on the ice like she wasn't even afraid of falling on her butt. Also her human form had snow clothes, ice skates, and snow white hair.
"Are you just using my training as an excuse to ice skate?" I asked.
I fell and she skated right past me saying two words that confirmed what I thought she was using my training for.
"Sure am!"
I sighed… Toketsu was a real pain sometime…
Yume
I was staring at Yume who was sleeping on her pink cloud.
"Yume?" I asked trying to see if she was awake or not.
"*Snore* Mortal… *Snore*" she snored.
I sweat dropped… She was still calling me a mortal even though I've gotten very strong…
"*Snore* No… *Snore* Lucy… *Snore*" she snored.
I was shocked… She called me by my name… but then I smiled…
'I'll let her sleep.' I thought.
And with that I sat down a log and waited for her to wake up.
Umi
"Umi! This isn't funny!" I yelled in anger.
Umi currently had me swimming away from sharks to make my swimming speed much faster also to increase my stamina too.
"It's for your training!" she said.
Let's just say at the end of the day I was scared of going near the ocean for a few days.
Shizen
"Now Lucy just be calm and focus your magical energy into your core" she instructed.
Shizen's human form had dark green hair, a t shirt, a skirt with her whip attached to the side of it and boots.
She was training me to focus my magical energy and let it out in one burst as sort like an attack that only hurts people not the world or nature around me.
"Now think about the element you want to burst out" she said.
'Nature.' I thought.
She waited a few seconds and then gave the next instruction.
"Ok now just let go of the magic your holding in!" she commanded.
I let the magic inside of me burst out in the shape of a green vine like energy.
"Whoa..." I said.
"Now Lucy this attack is only meant for when your alone and facing a powerful enemy or lots of them" she said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because this spell doesn't know the difference between friend and foe if you do this where there's people around your battle you could easily end up hurting an innocent civilian or one of your teammates with no intention to hurt them in the first place" she explained.
I nodded in understanding.
"Got it don't use the spell where there are other people around the battle" I said.
After that we finished are training and went our separate ways for the day.
Sutomu
"Focus Lucy!" she commanded. "Dodge the arrows!"
She was firing arrows at me from where she stood and she was wearing biker gear just like Kasai also her hair was dark gray with white streaks.
"I am!" I yelled.
She fired multiple arrows at a time.
"Be faster! Be stronger! Be greater!" she commanded.
"I am would be if you weren't trying to kill me!" I yelled.
"IT'S TRAINING!" she yelled.
Kasai
Kasai was currently training me in hand to hand combat.
"Keep up Lucy!" said Kasai.
Eventually she punched me square in the face and I had to say that hurt a lot.
"Lucy? You ok?" she asked.
I was knocked onto the floor from the impact of her punch.
"Well that hurt" I said.
I got up.
"However let us not let pain stop us from training!" I said.
She smiled and tightened her bandanna around her short fire orange hair.
"Now you're talking!" she said.
After that I was able to catch her punches with some struggle but it still worked in the end. Well most of the time the other times I sent skidding back a couple feet.
Chikyu
"Earth Spire!" she commanded.
Spires shot up out of the ground and thanks to the others training I dodged most of them the others just grazed me.
"Fissure!" she commanded.
She drove her scythe into the ground and a fissure opened up and luckily I got out of the way just in time.
"Earthquake!" she commanded.
An earthquake started up and since I still didn't have that good balance I fell due to the earthquake throwing me off balance.
She walked over to me and ruffled my hair.
"You're getting better each day" she said.
I smiled up at the Goddess of Earth.
"Pretty soon you're training will be finished and you'll be able to not have to deal with us anymore" she said.
She was wearing a mining jumpsuit, a mining hat, she had long dark brown hair, and her scythe strapped to her back.
"You know for some reason, the more I think about not dealing with you guys, the sadder I get" I said.
"Maybe you've come to think of us as family" she said.
"Probably" I said.
"Anyways your training for today is done" she said. "Go get some well-deserved rest"
I nodded and she disappeared.
"Well as she said, time for some well-deserved rest" I thought.
I went back to the house and went inside.
'Well that was a good day of training.' I thought.
I got changed into my pajamas.
'But tomorrow Sutomu is training me… This is going to be such a pain in the back' I thought.
'So I better get some sleep' I smiled with the thought.
I wrote a letter to my mom and went to sleep.
Time skip: Late in the night.
I was woken up by someone knocking at my front door.
'Who in the world could that be?' I thought.
I got up and went to the front door.
"Goddesses watch over me" I prayed silently.
I prayed just in case whoever was outside was hostile or evil.
"Who's there?" I asked.
I waited a few seconds but there was no response.
'Ok time to open the door' I thought.
I opened the door and to my surprise.
'What the heck?! What are they doing out here?' I thought.
Outside we're a very badly damaged Hibiki, Ren, and Eve. The Trimens from Blue Pegasus.
One thought was running through my brain right now.
"Why are they in the forest badly beaten up as far as I know my house is far away from any wizard guilds?! And how did they get so badly beaten up in the freaking first place?!"
Ok! Maybe two thoughts we're running through my head right now…
TO BE CONTINUED!
