“I have to teach Magic?” Roselle repeated. She knew well the importance of their mission and the o prepare Runebelle, but ....

  “You realize I’m still learning myself tht Dr. Kintovar?”

  Dr. Kintovar pced a reassuring hand on Roselle’s shoulder. “I have faith in you, Roselle. You’ve e a long way already, and I believe you’re more than capable of guiding Runebelle iraining.”

  Roselle nodded. It was her first time ever teag someone. ‘I have to get this right on my first try... ’ she thought.

  “Don’t worry, Runebelle,” Roselle said while wearing a smile. “I’ll do my best to teach you what I know, and we’ll figure this out together. We’re sisters, after all.”

  Roselle led Runebelle to the specially desigraining area within the b. It was a vast, open spa the first floor, devoid of any fragile equipment that could be damaged during their magical training.

  Oered the training area, Roselle turo Runebelle. “Okay, Runebelle, this is where we’ll begin yical training. It’s important to uand your powers and how to trol them. Magi be uable, so the first step is to establish a strong foundation.”

  Roselle demonstrated by raising her hand, palm up, and fog her energy. A gentle swirling of lightning-type energy formed above her hand, shimmering and glistening in the soft light of the b. It was a trolled dispy of her water manipution abilities.

  “Now, Runebelle,” Roselle tinued, “try to focus your energy, just like this, and imagine a small spark of magic within you. See if you make it appear in your hand.”

  Runebelle’s hand trembled slightly as she opened her palm, her face still painted with sadness. To her surprise, a greenish-colored energy materialized in her hand, shimmering faintly in the light. It was a small but unmistakable spark of magic, exactly as Roselle had instructed.

  Roselle, who had expected a more challenging process for Runebelle, was momentarily dumbfounded by how effortlessly Runebelle had jured the energy. She blinked in surprise but quickly regained her posure, a reassuring smile.

  “You... you did it, Runebelle,” Roselle replied with amazement. “That was really good. It usually takes much loo achieve such trol.”

  Runebelle looked at her creation with sadness. “I... I didn’t even really have to think about it. It just…..happened.”

  Roselle’s curiosity iqued as she pted Runebelle’s unique abilities. She khere was much they had yet to uncover about their new sister and her potential.

  “Runebelle,” Roselle began, “I’ve noticed that your energy has a unique green color. That’s not a on energy affinity among our kind. Each of us has our own affinity, which determihe type of magic we use most effectively. Green energy is quite rare.”

  Runebelle looked at Roselle, her curiosity piqued. “What do you mean by energy affinity? Is it reted to the type of magic we use?”

  Roselle expined, “Think of it as a special e you have with a certain type of magic. For example, my energy affinity is lightning, which is why I manipute lightning. Risebelle’s is water, so she trol it effortlessly. And now, it seems your affinity is this green energy.”

  Runebelle’s eyes widened with realization. “So, because of my affinity, I trol this green energy more easily?”

  Roselle nodded with a reassuring smile. “Exactly. Your affinity makes it easier for you to manipute and trol yic. It’s a urait that sets you apart. With time and practice, you bee even more skilled in using it.”

  As Roselle was about to provide more details to Runebelle about energy affinities, Dr. Kintovar ehe training area, her presenanding attention. She g Roselle and Runebelle.

  “Roselle,” Dr. Kintovar interjected, “that’s enough expnation for now. We o begiest battle to assess Runebelle’s bat abilities.”

  Roselle nodded in aowledgment, uanding the urgency of the situation. “Of course, Dr. Kintovar. We’re ready to begin.”

  Dr. Kintestured for both Roselle and Runebelle to take their positions. They stood fag each other, a sense of anticipation filling the air.

  “The objective of this test battle is to gauge your bat skills and the extent of yical abilities. The battle will end when one of you reaches 25% Lifeforce or lower. Remember, it’s a training exercise, so there’s o hold back, but Roselle, Promise me you won’t break her on her first fight.”

  Roselle nodded solemnly, her eyes fixed on Runebelle “I promise, Dr. Kintovar. ”

  Runebelle watched as Roselle summoned her impressive on-like on, her eyes widening with both awe and apprehension. She took a deep breath, then followed Roselle’s instrus.

  “on,” Runebelle said softly, almost hesitantly.

  She formed a small, but no less impressive, on-like on. Its design matched the unique green energy affinity that Runebelle possessed, giving it a distinct appearance.

  Roselle nodded in approval, a hint of excitement in her eyes as she observed Runebelle’s successful summoning. “Great job, Runebelle! You’ve summoned your on. Now, let’s see what you do with it.”

  Roselle unleashed a powerful shot from her on. Runebelle’s respoo her attack was swift as she expertly evaded the ining attack with agility and grace.

  With incredible speed, Runebelle aimed her on and fired a barrage of green energy balls in rapid succession. They shot forth like a hail of projectiles, creating a mesmerizing dispy of power. Roselle had a hard time evading, and when one of them caught her, it created a small but impactful explosions upon her Body.

  Roselle staggered back from the impact of Runebelle’s attack, her surprise was evident in her wide eyes and slightly agape mouth. She hadn’t expected Runebelle to dispy such trol and precision in her first training battle.

  Inside her mind, Roselle’s thoughts raced. ‘She’s so much more skilled than I anticipated. Her trol over that green energy is incredible. But I ’t let her overwhelm me. Dr. Kintovar asked me to provide a challenge, not to be defeated quickly.’

  Roselle regained her posure and refocused her energy. She aimed her on once more, this time with eveer iy, and fired a powerful bst of lightning energy toward Runebelle.

  Runebelle gracefully evaded Roselle’s lightning shots with a sense of ease, her face remaiched with sadness. Roselle fired off shots as quickly as she could, trying to catch Runebelle off guard, but Runebelle moved around the battlefield with a fluidity that suggested a natural familiarity with bat.

  Roselle’s surprise grew with each passing moment. She had expected to provide a challeo Runebelle, but it seemed that Runebelle had the upper hand. Her rapid shots forced Roselle to keep evading, and she struggled to maintain her posure.

  Internally, Roselle couldn’t help but wonder, ‘How is she doing this? It’s like she was born for bat, a, her sadness never leaves her face...’

  Roselle tapped into her newfound ability. She focused her energy, summoning a powerful burst of lightning that arced outward from her, f a rapidly spinning fan of crag electricity. This fan homed in on its target with deadly precision.

  " Alright Runebelle, watch how I trol my Elemental power....Thundercp, Surge!” Roselle called out.

  The fan of electricity burst forth, its tendrils of lightning striking Runebelle with pinpoint accuracy. Each strike delivered jolts of electricity upon impact, leaving a trail of burni and scorched marks on Runebelle’s body.

  Runebelle staggered uhe assault, her face still marked by sadness but now with pain. It owerful attack, and Roselle hoped that it would give her an edge itle.

  As Runebelle ehe relentless onsught of Roselle’s Thundercp Surge, something within her began to shift. She could feel the unique green energy affinity within her responding to the challenge, as if it was awakening from a long slumber. Her sadness still weighed heavily on her, but something seemed to sparked with the way she moved.

  ‘I may not fully grasp it yet,’ Runebelle thought to herself, ‘but I feel the energy withihe green energy that’s part of who I am. I use it to defend myself, to fight back.’

  As Roselle’s Thundercp Surge assaulted her, Runebelle trated on the swirling green energy within her, drawing it out with a newfound uanding. With a burst of magic, she eled her energy into a powerful spell, calling upon the magic of this world.

  “Fury Pilrs!”

  Three t pilrs, eafused with a different elemental power, maed around her. One was made of fire, another of ice, and the third of earth. They stood as both a barrier and a symbol of Runebelle’s newfound trol over the elements.

  Roselle, who had been preparing for her attack, halted in surprise as she witnessed Runebelle’s impressive dispy of magic. The elemental pilrs created a formidable presen the battlefield, and Runebelle couldn’t help but feel a sense of aplishment and newfound fiden her abilities.

  “Whoa,” Roselle muttered ihat’s incredible, Runebelle!”

  Runebelle’s nodded in response.

  Runebelle focused her newfound power, she chose the earth pilr from her trio of Fury Pilrs and directed it toward Roselle. The massive pilr of earth rumbled as it lifted from the ground and hurled itself at Roselle with impressive speed.

  Roselle’s eyes widened in surprise as the earth pilr approached. She had expected Runebelle to use her newfound abilities defensively, not as an attack. Despite her surprise, Roselle quickly adapted, realizing that she had to ter this ining threat.

  With a burst of yellow statiergy surrounding her, Roselle began to form a ball of crag energy around herself.

  “Hey Runebelle, Watch this now!”

  The ball of energy grew rger and more intes electric arcs sizzling and crag with power. Roselle dashed forward, leaving her massive on behind, and moved to meet the onih pilr head-on.

  The collisioween Roselle’s electriergy sphere and the earth pilr sent shockwaves through the training area. The resulting explosioed a dazzling dispy of light and power, shaking the grouh them.

  As the dust settled, Roselle and the earth pilr were o be seen, leaving Runebelle standing alone iermath of their csh.

  Runebelle’s sharp gaze sed the training area, searg for any sign of Roselle after their explosive csh. She couldn’t see her anywhere, and that puzzled her. Before she could react, a sudden force struck her from behind, catg her off guard.

  Roselle’s fist ected with Runebelle’s face, delivering a powerful punch. However, to Roselle’s surprise, Runebelle didn’t go flying or lose her bance. She staggered slightly but mao maintain her footing.

  Runebelle turned around to face Roselle, her face still showed sadness but it felt different. It was as if she has more fidence.

  With focus, she maniputed the id fire pilrs she had summoned earlier.

  The elemental pilrs moved with precision, their movements coordinated as if they were extensions of Runebelle herself. In a swift and calcuted mahe id fire pilrs verged, trapping Roselle within their elemental embrace.

  Roselle struggled to break free, but the icy chill and scorg heat of the pilrs held her captive. She could feel her energy being drained as the elements pressed in on her.

  Runebelle stood her ground. Trapped within the fines of the elemental pilrs, Roselle’s mind raced with questions and uaihe surprising strength and trol that Runebelle had dispyed left her baffled.

  ‘Why are Runebelle’s abilities s?’ Roselle pondered, her thoughts rag as she tried to make sense of the situation. ‘I’ve had to train and hone my powers since I was created and activated, a she seems to have a natural affinity and trol that I ’t expin.’

  As Roselle struggled against the elemental prison, her curiosity mingled with a sense ency. She knew she o find a way to break free, but now, she was faced with the possibility of defeat.

  ‘I was not expeg to be losing here…’
