After greys and lily's little heart to heart talk their bond strengthened. She was a step away from summoning her second beast they both could feel it. They continued talking about themselves and learning more about their races and reasons as well.
"Just a bit more and I can send you home to go home and help your family." Lily shouted excitedly jumping
Grey was exited too but also thought about what was happening back home and remembered his time limit he had.
He had two weeks until he had to meet with his friends at the golden fang forest three more moon cycles until his home was attacked at maximum at minimum they could attack even sooner leaving grey deep in thought.
Hugo the butler appeared from a mist basically just teleporting in. "Young miss it's time for your classes to prepare you for Glory Creed."
Lily just pouted angrily as grey asked Hugo "what's glory creed?"
Lily quickly responded "it's some dumb learning center for all types of races to help improve young potential apostle to assist the gods and protect the lands. But actually it's a place that forces its teachings upon you while other children try to flaunt their power to feel superior or release stress."
Grey just gasped "That sounds awful! Why would you go to such a horrible place."
Hugo stepped in to clarify before she made it sound worse than it is. "It a place where elderly and powerful people go to train the next generation no matter the race or gender."
"Of course there is conflict within but that makes the students strive for glory…"
Lily just stared at him deadpan like he was the biggest liar ever.
"And going is seen as a power move to other powerful families and a way to grow your own personal connections." Hugo finished with a defeated sigh.
Lily got looking victorious while grey was just thinking.
"Oh and sir grey you'll be joining her." Hugo said matter factually.
Grey whole body froze up as his droopy ears stood fully erected. "You… want me to join?"
"I have other things to do you should know how unstable sound is to control right? Plus I won't be going to class she will, I'm just a innocent little rabbit."
Hugo just stared at grey sternly. "Innocent? You? I remember when you found a enemy in the woods instead of silently taking him out you scared him so much he pissed himself before you drained his blood."
Lily looked down at grey in shock "Your the empty bat that all the maids are talking about. I heard that victim was found in critical condition?"
Grey looked down resentfully. "Bah. I hate traitors especially those kind that only look out for themselves at the cost of everyone else."
They were all silent for moments before Hugo said "if you finish the classes with the young lady you'll get some blueberry pudding." Was all he said before vanishing into his mist.
Grey was excited for a few moments but after a few moments in her private class sitting atop the desk bored out of his mind with a small note book Infront of him full of snake drawings.
A petite dark elf maid stopped pointing at the board full of math and magic equations her long purple hair was tied in a bun as her violet eyes glared at grey. "Mister song! I'm sorry but is my class boring you. I can call my husband and tell him to take back that pudding he promised you."
At the mention of that his eyes became extremely focused. "
Grey crossed his paws while slightly pouting
"No miss grass you have my undying attention… please don't tell mister Hugo."
Miss grass glared deep into his eyes studying him carefully. "Hmm then do tell what I was just saying."
Grey tilted his head to stare at the board full of symbols and then at lilys notes. "I just wanna say for the record I can only speak elven because of my sound runes passive translation abilities. I can't read anything you guys write and we beast don't usually have magic formulas as you call it we just run the power flow through our rune core and control it almost instinctively while getting better after each fight and experience."
Miss grass stared at him dumbfounded "oh… but if you were paying attention you would have heard what I said. And even if you can control your runes flow instinctively learning more ways to control all three of your powers."
Grey looked at her confused "three."
"Yes three, first your raw rune flow used to physically enhance yourself and other abilities, while your rune connects you to a element of the universe. And finally your traits or evolution aspects like a rabbits natural hearing or a chimeras absorption and bio shifting capabilities."
"Now listen up I've been told you were taught the practical uses of sound by the Demi god Teddy. But all you have is that knowledge and no comprehension or control. You should know how dangerous sound is as a fire rune protects its user from heat but the vibrations from sound can still damage your insides even if your body's reinforced."
That got grey thinking back to when he first used his rune cause his throat to feel like it was on fire
"Fine~"
Lily raised her hand "teach aren't the beast kin able to use mostly raw flow on instinct."
Miss grass nodded "yes they come from a lineage of magical beast that evolved to be more elven."
"Now back on topic I will drill the fundamentals of precise control until lady Lily can summon her second beast and sir grey can protect without damaging himself or the young lady. At more advanced levels of summoning you can even borrow your summons powers like a certain rabbits natural translation skill."
Grey just stared at Lily with eyes of pity as she stared back at him. "Yeah we're going to be here a while better get comfortable grey."
After eleven days of training She was finally ready to summon her second beast. And grey had been training his speed and his sound control.
It was just Lily and her father in the woods while grey was on her shoulder ready to attack.
A cold wind passed them as the portal opened and a seven feet tall metal knight fell out looking around confused and angry.
