Fresh off the boat! [Training/Solo]

Ability to be trained:

The black haired girl would soon enter her room alongside with her liger while the ship set sail, leaving her mentor to have his private time alone. She intended to get some more rest because of her lack of sleep the night before after excusing herself from Yakuroro, the journey through the sea could be a harsh thing some time so Noir thought it would be better if she take some more rest to at least prevent herself to experience nausea and sea-sickness due to her lack of sleeping. She was lucky to be able to be on a grand ship, perhaps even grander than Pirate's Queen ship. The bed was definitely something that she would be careful to lie down because it looked very fluffy and smooth, not like the bed that she used to had before. The room was a really beautiful, lots of carving and decorations only made it look expensive. She wondered how her current mentor was able to reserve such a grand looking cabin room in this huge ship that only made for rich people if Noir could say. Back then when she was a slave on the ship, she didn’t receive any bed, mattress or even a comfortable and warm blanket so she could use it to at least warming herself up. They were only letting them to sleep on the cold, hard wooden floor without any kind of smooth warm fabric to protect them from the cold or sore body. The only thing that kept her and her fellow slave friends were the small fire flickering inside the glass lamp that was hanged up inside the ship although that was not enough, but it was all they had there so they didn’t speak a word.

Noir was getting used to live as normal person even though she knew that she still need to work on her socializing skill and how to interact normally with other people, meeting a lot of people truly granting her the way to act like a normal person. Some taught her and reminded her on how to act properly in many ways, harsh way, gentle way, mischievous way… any way. Then when she leaned her back against the bed, she looked at the wooden ceiling before her mind being drifted back to the last fight that she did in the coliseum before she left Reim. It was an interesting fight, it was fun and challenging and it forced Noir to bring this formula to create an actual spell while she was close to being dead. The spell was successful and the black haired girl was able to gain victory thanks to Soma, the healing spell that she created in the middle of the fight. She realized that the only healing spell that she had was kind of dangerous if there was an enemy right in her healing magic range. She might need something that would heal certain someone, the ally of her choosing if he was standing in the middle of swarms of enemies. She looked at this necklace that had cat pendant hanging on it, a nice antique thing that she bought alongside with the scepter due to its healing spell and the ability that would make Noir able to mutate cat’s claws or fangs. Noir found it interesting but sadly, the ability embedded in this life magic based item could only affect the wearer. The necklace would mutate the user’s gene and help by giving a positive status effect but unfortunately it couldn’t be used to heal other people unless she gave this item to them. This wouldn’t be good since Noir might want to heal only another person, perhaps only one certain person and she would bring out her Nature’s Scepter, knowing that this magic medium could help her to create another life-themed magic. She could just create a wood or vine and thorn attack but she prefer to have another healing magic at the moment, knowing it would be good to have options for the healing spells that she had in case she need it later.

The scepter was now in her grip and she rolled on the bed so her stomach would lean against the bed, she would then stared at the scepter as if she wanted to disassemble it to know what was inside. But actually she didn’t plant to do it, she just wanted to know more about this magical device that could act as the medium of her magic as well. This scepter truly was far stronger than the wand that she had but she didn’t plan to let go of Nero, it was her first wand after all. Noir kept looking at the scepter and poked the orb embedded on the scepter, wanting to know if that orb might be the one who would allow Noir to use it as a medium. After she was satisfied to examine the scepter, the black haired girl would began to close her eyes and created a concept in her mind. She wanted a spell that had a small range, small enough to be able to heal only a person. The shape probably needs to be something simple, no need to make it have a gruesome shape. However, actually she liked Solomon’s Dryad Beauty because it was very beautiful and calming, not to mention it has a great healing effect and another effect as well. Oh well, Noir decided that she would stick to make it as a ball of magoi, that was the simplest one and the easiest shape to be made. So while gripping the scepter, Noir kept thinking about the concept and began to create some formulas and calculation inside her head as she remembered some other people’s rukh when they create healing abilities.

At first, the ball of magoi was way too big and she quickly made it disappear by stop feeding magoi in it and asked the rukh to scatter sway. Then she began to imagine the shape again and how small did she want it to be, it just needed to appear and touch anyone that Noir wanted to heal before disappearing. So she fed her magoi to the scepter and produced the natural scepter’s ability that would allow Noir to create another life magic skill. 10 centimeters was the size of the ball of magoi in diameter and the female magician would play with it a little bit, making it float inside the room before making it touched herself, right at her small hand. The small ball of magoi that she cast was able to make the girl felt refreshed and the fatigue due to her lack of sleeping was being lifted up from her . She made it, another useful spell had been made and she was happy to be able to have this kind of spell.

A small smile will be formed on her lips when she managed to successfully create the healing spell, she was also able to show more emotion now thanks to all the things happened to her even though it was not that significant. Then she would roll on the bed again, now so her back would be leaned against the bed. She could feel the ship was moving a little bit, swaying slowly as it voyaged to the land of sands and sun on the sea. It felt like she was rocked by the ship and she became sleepy even though the healing spell from before already helped her to remove the fatigue. Noir knew she wanted to give in and just sleep, it felt calm and comfortable, the feeling by just being inside this grand room was truly giving her a different kind of experience. Her body began to give in slowly and her eyes started to blink slowly, once... Twice... Thrice and darkness was the only thing left after as Noir closed her heavy eyelids.

A loud banging sound would make the black haired girl surprised and she woke up before quickly sitting on the bed, something that she was not supposed to do because it would make her head become dizzy. It was right, Noir touched her forehead before giving it a little massage there to make it feel better. She wondered what was that sound from but actually hesitated to go out from the cabin room because she just want to sleep more. But then she thought that she need to find something to eat as well so with a heavy sigh, Noir exited from the room after feeding her liger and asking Haku to stay on guard there while she brought her bag with her as well just in case she needed to buy the food. Just when she exited the cabin room, she heard the loud banging sound once again. She would then try to listen to it carefully and guessed that it might be located in the deck, so she headed there quickly to know what made the loud banging sound. When she arrived at the deck, she found it strange that she couldn’t find anything and suddenly the banging sound stopped. Confused to what had happened, she tilted her head and stood at the deck to wait for something to appear but after several minutes waiting, nothing appeared. “Hmm…” She turned her back and went towards the pantry to see if she can get some food and hoping to meet her mentor as well.

The pantry of such a grand ship was truly amazing, so many food overflowing and it was like a very big party. Elegant music and fancy decoration filled the huge room, table made from fine wood and covered by silky white colored fabric. It felt like a different world for Noir and she was not sure on what to do there, so she slowly grabbed a plate and picked up the food that was served in a big plate. After she took enough food with her, Noir would go outside the place that was supposed to be the dining room. The girl misunderstood about it since she never entered such a big place called dining room, for slave, dirty small pantry was already enough so being there for several minutes was kind of making the female magician nervous about it. She would enjoy the foods that she took, memorizing the flavor and also the ingredients used with it so she could cook some of it even though maybe she wouldn’t be able to afford all the fancy and rare ingredients used in the dish, but she could always dream.

Once she finished, she would go back to her cabin, wanting to examine another magic tolls that she had at the moment. However, she heard it again on her way to the cabin and stopped herself to think. It was probably only a prank by someone, but then the loud banging sound became even often. The dark sky was not good as well and rain started to pour down alongside with the dancing lightning, the wind felt so pressuring and perhaps storm would occur soon. She looked at the sky before proceeding towards the deck to see once again of what might causing the banging sound. She was very sure that the sound was from the deck and nowhere else because every time she approached the deck, she could hear the sound became louder. Nothing was there for the second time she arrived at the deck and made her becoming more curious, and then she decided to approach the metal railings before looking down towards the angry sea. At first, she realized that something was hanging below but she was not sure what it was. Then she stared at it before realizing that it was a person even though it didn’t really look like a person at all. It was not a human, a Fanalis nor an Imuchakk, she was not sure about this person-shaped creature. Could it be a siren? She shook head mentally and corrected herself; she knew it was not a siren.

It got up and Noir was surprised to see a person with a big hole on the head, only half of his brain remained there and there was no way for this person to be alive because of that. “…undead…?” The moment she said that, she could see another undead climbing up on the ship. Their rukh was a pitch black, full of hatred and probably it was because someone resurrected them. There was at least around 5 undeads on the deck now, not to mention the other one who was still finding its way to climb up. She was not sure how they caused the banging sound but right now they were too dangerous to be on the ship, they might hurt the other passengers. They didn’t give any response when Noir tried to call them, perhaps they were not as intelligence as that undead captain she saw at that cave in Reim. She got no time to call her mentor and Haku for help, so she would need to finish them off by herself. Lucky she brought her back with her even though she only brought her wand and the shuriken of storms; that would be enough. She stepped forward only to find the undead that was climbing up was already behind her, making her needed to be in the middle of those undeads. The storm was really harsh but perhaps she could control it, asking the rukh to help her little bit to defeat these undeads. So she was thinking on how to defeat them all at once, probably having a spell that could grasp the enemies around her would be really great to have and storm could be her allies at the moment. So she grabbed her Shuriken of Storms and used it to summon a dome of storms, using the already occurring one to gather around and it would quickly deal some damage towards the undeads. Once she was done, she checked if there was more undeads to be beaten but she couldn’t find any. She wondered what was causing the loud banging sound and created some scenario in her head by assuming how the undeads did it before she came back to her cabin to get a warm shower and call it a day.
