The Tale Of Kitsuna-Chapter 157 - 157 Chapter 157

157 Chapter 15“Fuck!!!!!!”

Boom!

‘how the hell am I supposed to do this.’ I thought calmly after my outburst while looking at the not even dented Adamite.

“I went back to Kayda man training, but there really isn’t anything more I can learn with that. Then how do I cut this fucker.” I explained to myself while throwing the Adamite around in the air.

“he made it seem so easy yesterday. I really thought I would have made a dent by now,” I said, depressed.

“ugh, what to do, what to do.” I hummed, staring at the adamite block.

“Well, for starters,u why are you trying to mimic him.” I heard kayda say from the entrance to the training grounds. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

“mimic? I am not trying to mimic him, but I need to do the same as him to do that.” I said, looking annoyed.

“He is a blacksmith he lives the hammer but makes the sword. You don’t.”

.....

“huh, what the hell? Why are you talking in riddles?”

“This is no. riddle youngling but advise-”

“Don’t even continue in that tone. Please, it feels like I am dating a grandmother or something.” I said, sighing while rubbing my face.

“hahaha, sorry, sorry. Though I was serious about the first clue.” Kayda said, giggling at my reaction.

“Sigh, so you were talking in riddles, great,” I said, annoyed, looking back at the Adamite in my hands.

“Hmm, another thing is that I would never be able to cut it,” Kayda said, shrugging.

“What?”

“I am a mage. I would be able to melt that thing with ease but cut it no way,” Kayda explained, nodding and making a small fireball in her hand.

“hmm, you being useful finely.”

“what! And I thought I would be nice and bring you some books about blacksmiths from the Kunis to you.” Kayda said, glaring at me.

“... lovely girlfriend of mine.”

“Don’t even,” Kayda growled, throwing a bag full of books on the floor before leaving without saying anything more.

“Ah, I went too far,” I said awkwardly.

“Her stress levels must be on the deep end by now,” I said worriedly.

‘Not much I can do but get this done faster.’ I thought, sitting crossed-legged on the ground.

[Kitsu inner mololg]

Steve is a blacksmith that lives the hammer and makes the sword.

kayda is a mage that lives the scorch and makes the heat.

.... Hahahah what the hell am I thinking hahhaha.

Wait, but that doesn’t make sense.

Kayda said she would be able to melt the Adamite but not cut it, not as Steve did.

Then the sword cuts, but the heat melts like her nature with scorching magic.

Did I actually figure out what she meant just now?

Well, if I did, then what do I make or, more specifically, what do I live? That sounds so weird, even in my head.

Live

Live, live, live.

“I live ice?

No, something else?

I live the anger and make the war?

“well, that doesn’t sound so far off, actually, but I can’t materialise war.”

I am a weapons sage, something between a mage and a weapon master. It has nothing to do with crafting, though.

Ugh, he made a sword out of pure mana and said I should do the same, but that hasn’t been working at all kayda gave her opinion just now, but I don’t really understand it.

Living anger is too deep for this, I think. Something that’s deep within but not as deep or even deeper than it?

fox ice

No

devil fire or lightning is pretty powerful?

No, that’s an element.

It must be something I live by.

But that’s also up in the clouds.

I am arrogant, a narcissist. Like I am everything, really.

Fox.

Wait, there is no way. I am dumb.

I am really dumb.

[kitsu inner monologue end]

Jumping up from the floor, I threw the Adamite into the air and swag two fingers at it but wanting to hit the metal itself.

Clang

“no fucking way,” I said, looking at the 2 cm cut on the Adamite.

“Hahaha, to think I would forget how I lived on earth, hahaha,” I said, going off on a weird laughing fit.

“The worst is I am a fox. We live in the shadows. We use everything at our disposal to win a fight. We hide our fangs and use them when the time is right. I live my first life like that after escaping that thing. Hahaha, well shit, I figured it out.” I said, laughing again happily.

10 minutes of laughter later, I stood up again. Bring my hand up again. I point two fingers up while holding the rest down as a fist. I felt the invisible mana come forwards.

“you really can’t see it at all... and it’s gone,” I said, feeling it disappear again a few seconds later.

“I can’t hold it long, but it is a start,” I said, nodding to myself happily.

‘Now, how do you make this kind of mana trailing stronger? I need to ask kayda, but she will still be mad at me.’ I thought, depressed.

“wait, I have all those books she brought.” Walking to the bag, Kayda dropped off a while ago or a few hours ago.

“let’s see what they have. Blacksmith for dummies? Seriously they actually named a book this.” I said, annoyed, looking at the book as if it was my worst enemy.

“fuck I guess I will start with this,” I grumbled, sitting on the floor again.

“mother! Help us!” Apricot yelled, running into my training ground. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

“Don’t shout like that, and why are you in here,” I said, annoyed, not stopping my reading.

“Huh, smithing for dummies, really, mom,” Apricot said in disbelief, looking at me weirdly.

“apricot, what do you want?”

“Please do something about your wife. She is killing us,” Apricot said, begging me.

“killing you? You mean training, don’t you.” I said, looking at her sweaty clothes clinging to her body.

“Y-yes, but she is going too far,” Apricot said, rubbing her head awkwardly.

“so it has nothing to do with me if you guys get overworked.”

“But,”

“Apricot, leave before I drag you back myself.”

“Fine, fine, I will go,” Apricot said, leaving my training grounds.

“how do you expect me to help you? She is mad at me too.” I said, sighing.

‘let’s see if we can at least make her a bit happier.’ I thought of making a clone bird.

“huh, can you move even?” I said, looking at the Eagle. It wasn’t a big one, but he wasn’t small either.

“caw, of course, I can move, caw.”

“And talk? How the hell? Whatever, go to kayda and thank her for the help.”

.....

“caw, whatever, whatever.” The bird said, flying away.

[Eagle Kitsu? Pov]

“Caw, this feels weird, caw,” I said, looking down at the ground while flying.

“Well, at least I don’t have to be like this for long,” I said, diving down at Kayda.

“Oh, and what might you be,” KAyda said, looking up at me and coming down at her slowly.

“caw, I am your lovely girlfriends’ clone, caw,” I said, noticing her frown at my words.

“... Ara, how unfortunate.” She said, bringing out her arm so I could land on it.

“caw unfortunate? Caw, whatever, I want to apologize... and snitch on Apricot running away from her training.” I said, thinking about it a bit more.

“Oh, she wants to apologize? What for?”

“Well, she figured out what you meant,” I explained, nodding my small head.

“already? So what was the outcome?” Kayda asked, interested.

“uh, I can’t really do it myself,” I said, feeling awkward about my lack of skill.

“I guessed that already. I wanted you to explain it to me.”

“trickery. She has an invisible man.”

“what? Invisible mana. Is that even possible?” Kayda muttered to herself, thinking.

“Well, yes, if your basic of basic of personality is trickery and stealth, it is.”

“Yeah, no, I am confused. I will see her later,” Kayda said, suddenly grabbing my bird throat.

“caw?!!!!!! Caw, what are you doing, caw.” I yelled, feeling the heat surge around my throat.

“teaching her another lesson.” That was all kayda said before I Died.

[Kitsu Pov]

“Ugh, what the fuck.” I said, grunting in pain, grabbing my throat. I already knew what happened to the Eagle, but I didn’t expect kayda to be able to do this.

“Ugh, I think kayda can even burn souls if she can do this,” I muttered, feeling my neck heal again.

‘i wonder how far mine can go.’ I thought, smiling to myself.
