Kai (I), Amari and Sayuri are currently going to the place where Clown's mission is.
We're in that one forest, the place the rats are is this way.
Im walking on front, excited and happy, humming.
"♫ Lalala, i'm gonna defeat some rats and... Be strong! because thats something that i loooooooove to do! laralala♫"
Sayuri and Amari are walking behind me, looking at me, definitely no surprises.
"Hey Sayuri, can you explain me now why you were so surprised when i rejected that guy's marriage proposa-"
Sayuri quickly made her bend down, whispering in her ear.
"He's a boy so he shouldn't hear this..."
Amari whispered back, confused.
"What? What can be so bad about i-"
"You know what a succubus is?"
"Succubus? hmm... OH! IS THAT JAPANESE S-"
Sayuri quickly silenced her, speaking louder than her.
"DON'T YELL THAT!"
This scream caught my attention, I quickly turned to them.
"Ah? Somethings wrong?"
Sayuri seemed embarrassed, quickly shaking her head with her hands.
"N-NO! I-IT'S NOTHING!"
"Ok... ♫Lalala- Wait, is that a bird? COME HERE!"
Sayuri waited for me to leave, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew... he really can't hear this..."
Amari was a little confused.
"So uh, can you tell me?"
Sayuri whispered in her ear again, embarrassed.
"So, well... in Beatitudo, there is a famous Succubus tavern, very accessible, where men go to uh, satisfy themselves..."
"Hm hm, go on."
"And, this basically made them stop trying to pick up women because they already had the tavern... So, this created a large number of single women..."
"Hm hm, go on."
"So, rejecting a marriage proposal in such an... aggressive way in public is basically considered disrespectful, as it is already quite rare, and by doing so you are basically ruining any future chance-"
"You would accept it then?"
"W-WHAT?! O-OF COURSE NOT!! T-THIS ONLY APPLIES TO OLDER WOMEN!"
"ARE YOU CALLING ME OLD?! IM ONL-"
"Hey."
I was standing there in front of them, watching the two of them bicker.
Sayuri looked at me, kinda scared or terrified.
"Y-YOU WERE LISTENIN-"
I excitedly said, with a smile on my face.
"Wanna see me doing a backflip?"
The 2 looked at me, utterly suprised.
"W-What..."
"3!, 2,!, 1! HERE I GO!!"
And so, i started to jump back, moving my legs up and pushing them back.
It was going well, I had managed to invert my body completely, with my head on the ground and my feet in the air.
But suddenly.
"AH! NO! I WAS SO CLOSE!"
I landed badly, didn't land on my feet and crashed to the ground.
The girls 2 glanced at me, looked at each other's faces, looked at me again and blinked twice.
Then, simply started to walk forward.
"Hm... Sayuri we're fighting some rats?′
"Yeah yeah, they are pretty weak don't worry."
"They are the monsters you mentioned before?"
"Yeah yeah, one species."
"HEY! DON'T IGNORE ME-"
Some time later, here we are.
An open field, trees all around but leaving a large empty space in the middle, just covered in grass.
On this open field, there was lots of weird animals that I've never seen before.
Giant frogs, two heads giant worms, sheeps, and of course giant rats.
They way bigger than my height, and obviously much longer and fatter.
Standing up, they were definitely at least 10x taller than me.
The animals (monsters) were far from us, not noticing our presence, but they would probably be hostile if they saw us
I say this for what I think of course.
"WOW! THEY ARE SO BIG!!! I WANT TO FIGHT THEM! LETS GO-"
I started to try to run, but Amari quickly grabbed me by the shirt, not letting me run.
"Wait a second kid, we clearly need to think of a plan before."
"AH? LET ME GOOO! I JUST NEED TO PUNCH THEM WITH THE BLACK RAYS!!"
"IS NOT THAT SIMPLE! We obviously need to think of a plan on how to defeat them... Hm i know! Hey Sayuri, why don't you use Katchau on them?! It would be easy and quick!"
"WHAT?! NO! I WANT TO PUNCH THEM!!"
While the two of us were arguing, Sayuri placed her hand on her hip, in a rather proud position, and with the other she hit the staff on the ground.
"BOTH WRONG!!! Of course.."
I stopped trying to run and looked at her.
"Like if you knew something!"
She got quite angry at me
"AH?! OF COURSE I DO!! IM YOUR TEACHER!!!... Wait..."
She had an evil ideia id say, then she pointed her staff at me, and shouted in a very angressive way.
"I DEMAND YOU TWO TO CALL ME BOSS! or Master that works too."
Amari and I screamed at the same.
"NO WAY!!!"
"Tsk, b-but im gonna teach you!!"
Ee both refused to answer her.
Sayuri sighed, angry.
"Fine... But ok! We of course will use this as a training for you. So both were wrong!!"
Amari crossed her ams.
"Ok then, what should be do?"
Sayuri kept talking. It was obvious that even though she didn't show it, she liked it.
She hit the ground with her staff.
"You need to create YOUR OWN SISU!!!"
Amari and i looked confused at her.
"Sisu?..."
"INDEED!! S-I-S-U!!!"
Everyone went in silence for a time.
Amari talked quietly.
"Hm, you expect us to know what that is?"
Sayuri shook her.
"Augh, you know literally nothing about Sankalpa... ALRIGHT!"
she pulled herself together, talking loudly.
"Sisu, is like your power. The demonstration of Sankalpa into a power in itself. The transformation of your determination into something, na ability."
I was very excited.
"OH! So thats like, my super power!?"
"Hm well, i guess you can say that... But its not technically only yours, because if someone wants they can have the same as yours... Since the most important thing about Sisu: YOU! create your own, and you will never be able to change it again!"
Amari analyed what Sayuri said.
"Hm, so like i can choose what power i will have?"
"Yeah, basically it. But it depends on your class obviously. Like, the Sisu of an Imbuer, It must have to do with punches or something like. I know a person, an Imbuer, whose Sisu allows him to stretch his arms and legs for example... And you!"
she pointed at Amari.
"A Conjurer like me, but you didnt decided your weapon yet... On your case your Sisu will be manifested through your weapon of course, so think right."
"Oh then, wahts your Sisu Sayuri?"
Hearing this, Sayuri placed her hand on her chest, giving a proud smile.
"My? Yeah of course you want to know my Sisu, since im-."
"Just say it..."
"F-Fine... The Sisu of me, Sayuri, the one who will become the best wizard in the world-"
Amari and I were starting to find it a little boring, interrupting Sayuri.
"Just say it!"
Sayuri gritted her teeth, irritated and a little embarrassed
"B-BUT I WAS GOING TO SAY IT GODDAMMIT!..."
she took a deep breath.
"Well, my Sisu is called "Wizard's Magic", it allows me to create my own spells. Like Bium, Pitchiu and Katchau, are my creations from Wizard's Magic."
Amari noticed something.
"So wait, every wizard has it?"
"Well yes. This Sisu allows it's user to create their own spell's and use it through the staff. Not necessarily by the staff, but it's what makes the most sense and is most common, since all Wizards have a staff."
"Ah so like, every Wizard has this Sisu because like they choose to have it?"
"Like, It's not like a power taught from person to person, no, whoever wants to be a Wizard obviously wants to have a power that lets them use magic for the staff, so in the end everyone ends up having the same one."
I was simply watching the conversation between Amari and Sayuri, but honestly my brain was almost fried.
Amari replied.
"But then, could someone who don't know what a Wizard is, accidentally end up having this Sisu?"
"Technically yes, but i mean, Sankalpa is something basically exclusive from Beatitudo, and everybody here knows what a Wizard is. So if someone wants to be a wizard, they know they need "copy" it. A Wizard, is a conjurer who uses a staff and has Wizard's Magic, which works as a template Sisu where the effects (spells) are customizable... I-IT WAS SUN WORLD'S SISU!!"
Hm, trying to understand it... But what a second, I FOUND SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!
"B-But, can't i just copy the strongest man's Sisu and then be powerful as him?"
Think thats a good question.
"Well, again technically you can, but it's not worth it. Let me give you Wizard's Magic as an example... Like, i have the power to create the spells, but not the Sankalpa enough. It works like an energy bar, the more powerful the spell, the more Sankalpa it consumes. Plus, with experience, you will gain more Sankalpa, thus being able to create, or if you want to copy, more powerful spells."
She paused.
"So, A beginner is better off starting by creating weak spells that spend little Sankalpa, and as they evolve, creating or copying better ones. So much so that over time I will be able to controll Katchau and the rest stronger for example."
Amari noticed something.
"But,-"
Sayuri interrupted her.
"AH! But of course, its not because you have the same spell, that means it will have the same power. A person's experience, how much Sankalpa he has/can use, makes the same attack stronger or weaker depending on the person. And all this I said applies to basically everything, even other classes of course."
Amari lowered her head.
"That's what i was about to ask... But then uh, can't Kai just for example like have a Sisu that is so broken? Like i don't know, having a 1 kill punh?"
"No, he can't have such a powerful power, and neither he has Sankalpa enough to do it anyway... What he could do for example, is having a Sisu in which he spins his hand for a long time, accumulating Sankalpa, and then delivers a punch so strong that it's basically a one-hit kill... and not to mention the help of determination..."
Amari put her hand on her chin, analyzing the situation.
"Hm hm, so like-"
But before she could talk, i shouted, very excited and animated.
"HOW DO I GET ONE?!"
"HEY! I WAS GOING TO ASK THE SAME THI-"
"You just need to want..."
This simple words from Sayuri, made me and Amari stop arguing instantly.
"What you mean..."
Sayuri continued, with a small smile on her face.
"You need to want it, and if your determination is enough, and you have Sankalpa enough (so you can't ask for overpowered things), you just need to like go and imagining you have it and try to use it, it will appear. And don't worry, you need to be 100% sure about what you want, or it wont work, so it's impossible to happen by accident."
Amari yelled at her.
"IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE!!!"
Sayuri was a little startled, moving away a little.
"Y-You should be pround that I, Sayuri, the one who will become the GREATEST WIZARD IN THE WORLD, IS TEACHING YOU THIS!!"
"Well fair..."
They looked at each other for a while.
"Sayuri..."
"Amari...
Both yelled at the same time.
"WHERE IS KAI?!"
