Chapter 20: [Wind Spirit Dash]

In the courtyard at dawn, a beautiful scene unfolded unnoticed.

The wind began to form.

The wind began to gather.

The visible air currents danced like mischievous fairies, suddenly blowing from all directions and wrapping around Ais.

In this visible wind, the girl with hair that shimmered like sand gold, enveloped in a gentle breeze, had her golden locks fluttering and undulating.

The scene was beautiful, like a painting.

"This is my magic."

Ais, surrounded by the wind as if she had become a wind spirit, spoke to Riger.

Riger stared intently at the wind around Ais, and his memories stirred.

— [Wind Spirit Dash].

This was the only magic Ais could use, a type of enhancement magic.

Enhancement magic is a type of magic that can imbue the user or objects they touch with certain magical properties, thereby enhancing their abilities.

Ais's [Wind Spirit Dash] is a type of enhancement magic with wind attributes.

The incantation for this magic is just one sentence, making it an ultra-short incantation, which allows for extremely fast activation and is surprisingly easy to cast compared to other magics.

When this enhancement magic is activated, the user receives the blessing of the wind, gaining wind-based magical power, controlling the wind, and wrapping it around their body and weapons. This not only protects them but also aids in attacks, increases speed, and even grants the ability to fly short distances. It is a versatile magic that combines attack, defense, acceleration, and support, almost omniscient except for long-range attacks.

Now, this magic was being displayed before Riger, catching his eye.

At this moment, Riger felt it.

His memories were stirring.

"Awaken, Tempest."

As if by instinct, Riger naturally recited the ultra-short incantation he had just heard a few seconds ago.

The stirring memories immediately responded to this incantation.

"Whoosh—"

The wind blew again.

This time, the substantial wind, which initially started weakly from all directions but grew increasingly spectacular, wrapped around Riger's body, who stood in front of Ais.

"My magic..."

Ais's beautiful large eyes widened involuntarily.

Seeing Riger, just like herself, enveloped in a gentle breeze and wrapped in flowing air, Ais was speechless for a long time.

Not only Ais, but also others.

The two in the courtyard did not notice that several windows in the mansion above were open, and gazes were directed toward them.

"Really succeeded, huh?"

Loki, watching Riger successfully cast Ais's magic, had a rather comical expression, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"That new guy really used Ais's magic?"

"This is going to be interesting."

The Amazonian twin sisters were also peering from their room, clearly seeing everything.

"Tsk."

The young werewolf man clicked his tongue and turned to leave.

Finn, Levia, and Grace, gathered in the same room, looked at the man and woman in the courtyard, wrapped in wind, and exchanged glances.

"Success," Finn said with a sigh. "It seems our new member's magic, in terms of uniqueness, might be the best in the entire family."

"Isn't that obvious?" Grace, with her muscular arms crossed, grumbled. "If he can learn Ais's magic, isn't he just like Ais, not a pure human?"

Levia, hearing this, remained silent, only looking at Riger and Ais, her brows slightly furrowed.

She knew very well how special Ais's magic was.

At first glance, it seemed like a very ordinary enhancement magic, nothing particularly special. Enhancement magic is not a rare type of magic; there are probably dozens of adventurers in Orario who possess it, and even in Loki's family, not only Ais has it.

But compared to other enhancement magics, Ais's has a decisive difference.

The ultra-short incantation is just one of its features.

The true uniqueness of this magic cannot be seen with the naked eye.

"Riger Brihaut, huh?" Levia muttered. "I wonder if teaching him Ais's magic is a good or bad thing."

Finn and Grace remained silent.

After a while, Finn broke the silence.

"Regardless, our family has gained a highly talented genius, which is a good thing." Finn smiled. "If we cultivate him well, he will likely become a pillar of the family in the future."

"Indeed." Grace, stroking his long beard, smiled. "I think I understand now. Loki gathered us all and introduced that guy to us, not just to teach him magic."

"She wants us to focus on cultivating him, right?" Levia looked at Finn. "What do you plan to do, Finn?"

"For now, I don't plan to do anything special." Finn bit his thumbnail, thinking for a moment. "He's only been in the family for two days, and he's only received the blessing for two days. This is the stage where he needs to lay a foundation and clarify his direction. It would be counterproductive for us to intervene rashly."

"Hmm?" Grace raised an eyebrow. "You're worried about leading him astray?"

"Exactly." Levia agreed with Finn. "We don't know him well enough, and his combat system hasn't formed yet. If we intervene randomly, he might be influenced by us."

One's path may not suit others.

Perhaps, everyone should have their own development and path, the one that suits them best.

Riger is still too young, with too short a growth period. If he is influenced too much by others before he clarifies his development and positioning, he might end up on a path that is completely unsuitable for him.

This is not good and must be avoided.

Therefore, Finn does not plan to intervene in Riger's growth stage too quickly.

"I'll go talk to Loki later and see if she can reveal anything." Finn smiled. "From her attitude yesterday, there must be something special about Riger that we don't know. We need to understand it before making plans."

"That guy is hiding something, right?" Grace said with anticipation. "What could it be? I'm curious!"

"It could be a skill or another magic." Levia mused. "But Loki's attitude definitely indicates something."

The three leaders quickly decided on their approach to Riger.

This also means that from this moment on, Riger has officially entered the sight of the family's upper echelons and is being taken seriously.

However, the three leaders and those secretly observing still underestimated Riger.

What happens next will break their understanding of Riger and make them recognize his uniqueness.

Ais still looked at Riger, who was surrounded by wind and checking his current state, with a complex expression.

"Really learned it..."

Ais found it hard to describe her feelings at this moment.

Seeing someone else use the "Wind" magic like her, Ais found it hard to feel happy; instead, she felt a touch of melancholy.

After all, this magic has a special significance to Ais.

Ais could only suppress the emotions welling up in her heart and glanced at the sword Riger held in his hand.

After a moment of contemplation, Ais looked directly at Riger.

"Want to try?"

Ais said these words.

Riger, who was observing himself and curiously examining his changes, immediately understood her meaning.

"Draw your sword." Ais said. "Let me see what your 'Wind' is like."

With that, Ais drew her sword, revealing the bright silver military saber.

However, Ais did not hold the saber but the scabbard, raising it and throwing the saber to the side.

Seeing this, Riger's eyes also flickered.

The person before him was the strongest female swordsman in Orario, a true first-class adventurer.

She was very powerful.

At least, for him now, she was an unattainable target.

Not to mention other things, just the level difference between them was like a chasm, incomparable.

After all, once you level up, the increase in strength can be described as a complete evolution of the body and mind.

Therefore, in this world, even a one-level difference is considered enormous.

Let alone a fifth-level first-class adventurer, even a third-level adventurer of the second level would be almost impossible for Riger to defeat now.

But so what?

Facing a strong enemy, being able to challenge them at any time, isn't that exciting?

Riger's heart began to race, and a familiar sense of excitement surged in his chest.

"Please, teach me."

As he drew his sword, Riger did not hesitate or waver, taking a stance and pointing the sharp tip of the sword at Ais's throat.

In his eyes, a coldness gradually emerged, contrasting with the excitement in his heart.

"..."

Ais, who had been standing casually, seemed to sense something, her heart tightening, and her body tensing slightly.

A feeling of being stared at by a fierce beast washed over Ais.

Although it was not intense or dangerous, the feeling still made her subconsciously tense up.

"Smack!"

At that moment, Riger stomped on the ground, carrying the wind that enveloped his body, and charged at Ais.

The air currents exploded, and under the enhancement of the magic, Riger's figure turned into a bullet, shooting straight at his opponent, whose pupils dilated, signaling the start of the battle.
