[color=FFBF00]Location:[/color] Roshmi- Kenia's estate. [color=FFBF00]Interactions:[/color] [@Potter] - Corvina, [@Tae] - Kenia, [@princess] - Malachi. [img]https://i.imgur.com/JKIQFrA.png[/img] [center][color=FFBF00][h3] Summary of the Week [/h3][/color][/center] In the first few days Rei had grilled into Malachi and Kenia about their current situation- the world, the races, the political landscape, Aklenroth's 'goals', why humans had elemental based magic, and their plans moving forward. It was alot of information to take in and process, but soon Rei had a grasp on the world- though acknowledging that said knowledge came from one source making it biased even if unintentional. He couldn't help lament that this world was 'pitiable', for lack of better term. It was technologically more advanced that earth, but more regressive in societal terms. Earth has it's fair share of issues, but nothing much like Avalia. Rei had felt that Malachi was holding back some information from him and Corvina but chose not to pry, so as to respect his wishes. After arriving in Kenia's estate, they had begun magic training. It was odd, to say the least. It tackled abstract ideas in order to 'control' mana. To make it easier for himself he thought of it like a 'program' with it's own structure, functions and callouts. It made it easier to systematically create and control the air coming out of his hands. A systematic, uniform approach always felt easier to grasp in his mind. Moving air is simple enough, but doing anything tangible with it was where the difficulty stood. As an example, Rei mumbled this to himself "Compressing air makes it occupy less space and get 'hotter', more heat means more kinetic energy making it 'cut' other matter..." That was how Rei was able to do an air slice that could cut thick branches, he continued to mumble about how the air dissipates making it less lethal across longer distances. Finally concluding that he could control the compression to affect overall distance of the 'wind blade', but that there is a hard limit to maximum distance. Rei had already began formulating theories on how his newfound powers can be utilized, but within the week he found a few interesting properties of his wind that he could use to defend himself, or attack if necessary. Though he did find it slightly embarrassing that he had to slash like a feline cat to get his 'wind blade' working- noting that he needed to figure out how to remove that action. Another note was how he thought it was edgy that his wind was black in colour when in usage. In tandem with the magic training, Rei had also chosen to continue endurance and strength training- anything to give him an edge where humans were physically weaker than pretty much every other race. That and the fact that using his powers, to any serious degree anyway, drained him physically. It felt pertinent to have high endurance. He had invited Corvina along to follow his 'regiment', as this too was in her best interest. He was pleasantly surprised to see her easily match his pace during the training. The two also shared ideas on how they should use their powers during the week. Spitballing ideas with each other. Rei had unconsciously grown closer to his three compatriots, though he didn't intend it, he HAD established a connection with the three. It was a first for him, as while he had passing friends and acquaintances, it was nothing quite like this. Rei had thought, "Guess all it took to form something of a bond is a threat to my life, huh?" [center][color=FFBF00][h3] Present Time [/h3][/color][/center] Malachi had shoved a broom into Rei's empty hands. He couldn't get a word in edgewise before Malachi trot off someplace in the house. [b][color=FFBF00]"Humans are special, he says, and here we are doing menial slave work."[/color][/b] Rei dryly joked, he knew that he already owed something to Kenia and her father for even [i]allowing[/i] humans to stay with them. Before cleaning he wanted to ask where the dustpan was and looked around the house to ask. He found Kenia and Malachi talking about family, and their past but walked away before he could hear anymore. Rei scratched his head, [i][color=FFBF00]I'll just use my hands or something.[/color][/i]
