The Arks - Chapter 423

“Don’t worry, I’ve checked with Gillian about this. Rest ȧssured, he knows it and is well aware of what to do. He has confirmed that your body has been fully healed from the poisoning from all those years ago,” ȧssured Baldwin.

The Valkyrie nodded happily and embraced Ysabeau with a beaming smile. She then looked at Rina, who was holding onto a very active Kai. He wasn’t squirming too much but his eyes were being overwhelmed by the new environment as they darted around.

Mavislin quickly grabbed Kai and carried him by facing his face towards her ċhėst.

“Why did you barge in? Did you want to ask something?” asked Mavislin.

“Oh yes! Tomoe and Bryan told us to get you guys to see something. Tomoe is performing a ‘God Of Fire Kagura’. I don’t know what ‘Kagura’ means but it sounds nice. He wants to do it when the area hits twilight,” said Rina, remembering why she was there.

“A ritual performed in front of the Gods in Japanese tradition,” replied Raiyen, glitching into the room with the spell on hand.

Gillian used the normal way and was by the door. Judging by the sight of his wife hurling, he knew what was going on.

“I had envisioned it better in my mind but I guess things can turn out differently. Sorry I didn’t get to tell you sooner,” apologized Gillian, bowing to Ysabeau.

“Well, back to the performance. Shall we all head outside to see it? I’m pretty sure the kids are all there,” asked Rina, with her Butterfly wings sprouting.

Everyone nodded in agreement and headed outside once more. But Mavislin, Raiyen, and Gillian stayed behind while the others gathered first.

“So, you’ve found a way to pull it off?” asked Mavislin, gazing at Raiyen with intense eyes.

“Yes… But I would need your help as well. I can’t do it alone, I’m not mȧturė in power as of yet,” replied Raiyen, passing the book to Mavislin.

He guided her to the correct page and allowed her some time to digest the information. She then closed the book and weighed, giving an impression that Gillian thought was bad.

“And you are asking my help to enhance your powers using my skills as a Valkyrie so that you could pull this spell off?” asked Mavislin, looking at Raiyen who was slightly nervous.

He nodded, despite his stiff posture.

“You know the dangers of enhancing a human body, right? I can pull it off for you, but there might be repercussions in the future. You think you can handle that?” questioned Mavislin.

“Well, you were the one who wanted this to happen so badly… And I don’t want to see you disappointed, so yes, I will do it despite the repercussions,” said Raiyen, looking at Mavislin with confidence.

Mavislin smiled as she hugged the Time Boy. Gillian let out the breath he was holding and walked out of the room. But he halted at the doorway to instruct the two Mages on their plans the following day.

“We’ll start work tomorrow. Make sure you two communicate about what to do before we head to the site. I’ll be following you. Don’t worry about the kids, leave them to Rina and Z to handle. You can use Tomoe if you need to,” instructed Gillian.

“I would love for him to come along but he has strict instructions to train my Slayer first. It’s a private thing we settled on,” said Mavislin.

“Suit yourself. Let’s go out to see the performance. By the time it ends, dinner should be ready. Or else I’m turning the chef into our dinner,” commented Gillian, turning his heels on the two happy Mages.

The two of them followed the Headmaster out and were greeted by a whole bunch of people. Both Mages and humans included. The younger kids were running about as the ȧduŀt Mages scrambled to get them seated. Meanwhile, the women and the older kids were patiently waiting on the grass.

“Alright! That’s enough!” yelled Z, snapping his fingers.

Using his icy powers to grab the running kids and settle down, Tomoe came out in the best traditional wear he could find. A white Chihaya imprinted with blue embroidered fire patterns. And underneath was his usual haori with blue buŧŧerflies with a red hakama.

He looked like he had traveled from Japan from the future and he was stunningly handsome as Mavislin started lighting up the torches for the performance. Raiyen seemed impressed at how elegant his Familiar looked.

The kids were all excited to see the big, white fox performing. Mavislin could not help but feel her heart skip a beat looking at him.

“So, what is he performing?” asked one of the kids at the back row, tugging onto Raiyen’s hands.
