Volume 10 Chapter 613 - Great Prospect
Line turned to Loki and bowed down, "Loki-sama, I\'m sorry if this is being disrespectful to you or maybe even grounds for my expulsion from the Familia, but after spending my time with them, I learned how to appreciate getting my own power without the use of the Falna."
Line then looked up straight to Loki\'s eyes and continued, "So I\'d like to learn more about it! Especially healing!"
Loki stared at her for a moment and saw the conviction within her eyes. She then replied with a blank expression, "It\'s your life. Do whatever you want."
At her nonchalant response, Line couldn\'t help but bite her lips, nevertheless, she already decided and took a step forward. She has no reason to take that back now.
Kisuke suddenly clapped his hand and said with a big smile, "Great~! Now Line-san is one. Anyone else?"
After a few moments, Riveria sighed and said, "I\'m sorry Loki, but I\'m doing it. I\'ve been studying the mysteries of Magic for most of my life, so when something like this appears in front of me, I\'ll take it."
Soon after, Ais also stepped out, "I\'m going to learn it too…"
Loki first looked towards Riveria and saw fear in her eyes, but behind that, was excitement, \'Already expected Riveria to take this, so no problem there. Ais, on the other hand…\'
Loki then looked towards Ais and felt a little bit disappointed and solemn. Line and Riveria\'s acceptance didn\'t just stem from them wanting power but also knowledge. Ais, however, only accepted it due to her pursuit of power. Even now, she could see her burning desire, the dark desire for revenge that might destroy her in the future, \'What am I going to do with her? I can only hope that she\'ll change before she acquires enough power to destroy herself.\'
"Anyone else?" Kisuke asked again, but this time, despite waiting for a few minutes, no one stepped out anymore. Even the Amazoness sisters didn\'t accept Kisuke\'s offer. As they grew up in a place where power was everything and did their best to get stronger, Kisuke and Serafall\'s \'power\' didn\'t come close to the \'power\' they knew and grew up with, which resulted in them hesitating, and in addition to not wanting to offend Loki, ultimately not accepting it. They\'re fine being \'normal\'.
Finally, Loki sighed and smiled. She knew that no one else would be stepping out from her children, "Really, you don\'t have to worry about me. In fact, I welcome his offer~! A mortal getting on the same level as the Deities? I\'ve always wanted to see that! And to realize that, the first step of that is to stop thinking that it isn\'t possible or forbidden~!"
Stretching her arms out, Loki continued with a large grin, "Though some Gods probably won\'t like it, the fact we are here for entertainment is largely true. A child stepping into the ranks of the Deities? That\'s one of the greatest entertainments if I say so myself! So get it, get the power that otherwise would be impossible~! And perhaps in the future, you\'ll find your decision today a miracle that doesn\'t concern the Gods."
"Are you sure, Loki?" asked Riveria with a dumbfounded expression.
"I am. I\'m just not saying anything \'cause I wanted to see who was going to take it despite giving an impression that I don\'t like it," answered Loki.
Confused, Riveria asked again, "But why?"
"Just curious, you see. Nothing wrong with that, right?" But in reality, Loki was aware of Kisuke\'s goal to test them, \'I guess only Line, Riveria and Ais-tan will receive the real lessons.\'
And Loki completely agreed with Kisuke\'s decision. If she were in his position, she too wouldn\'t want to teach something that could potentially take you to the top unless the person you\'re teaching has the real desire to reach that top.
\'I wonder what would have been Finn, Gareth and Bete\'s decision regarding this?… I can only see them sticking to their old ways. Maybe Finn would do it, but he\'d never take a risk in pissing off the community of Gods for his dreams,\' Loki sighed inwardly as she discovered how \'dreamless\' her Familia is despite being Adventurers. But she also figured that it\'s because they were already near the \'top\', that something like this isn\'t suitable.
\'On the bright side, I don\'t think anyone from Freya\'s children would even consider it. Those guys are too devoted, after all.\'
While Loki was contemplating to herself, Kisuke chuckled and addressed the girls of the Loki Familia too, "I\'m sorry for asking such a question too. I\'m also just curious who\'d step out regardless of my words and I\'d like to take back the fact that gaining this power is similar to refusing the Gods\' authorities. Power is power. You gain it because you want to achieve something. The Gods have nothing to do with it."
For the first time, Hestia and Artemis heard and detected Kisuke lying. For Loki, meanwhile, this is the second time she\'d heard him lie, the first time being when she was with Freya.
"And just to be clear, both Serafall and I are not Gods. If you think the power we showed you is unreasonable and should be outright impossible, it\'s only because you\'re not aware of a few things. In other words, you haven\'t expanded your horizon to deem something like that possible and reasonable," added Kisuke.
Since he forgot to add something, Yoruichi also spoke up, "Just to be clear again, Serafall and Kisuke are not normal. These two\'s power-level is at the top of the charts, even compared to the place we came from where this kind of Magic is normal."
Irina from the side nodded deeply, "Right! Don\'t expect to gain a similar level of strength after learning the way we use Magic. These people are just as ridiculous to even our eyes!" She then faced Yoruichi, "You too, Yoruichi-san, who can casually annihilate an enemy leader and leave a giant hole on the ground using lightning shouldn\'t speak like you shouldn\'t be included! Just in strength alone, you\'re around the leaders\' rank!"
"Now, now, Irina-chan. You shouldn\'t say that, nya~."
Feigning a cough, Akeno interrupted Kuroka, "You too, Kuroka-san. You\'re someone feared among many different forces. So that includes you too." Akeno then caught the tiny Medusa in the corner of her eyes and added, "Since Medusa-san is included in Yoruichi-san\'s restriction, I presume that she\'s also at a similar level. I can\'t help but think that we\'re really surrounded by ridiculous individuals who could lead their own Factions."
"Restriction?" Kisuke asked as he faced Yoruichi.
"I told them that we wouldn\'t get involved in their problems," answered Yoruichi.
"Oh, I guess that should indeed be the case."
"Wait up," Loki suddenly called out, "That\'s fine and all, but what about the agreement between our Familias?"
Kisuke nodded at her and said, "Of course, that won\'t be dissolved. But instead of me, Sona will be taking it over along with the others."
"Alright. We\'ll take that."
Seeing that they\'re done talking, Claire suddenly spoke up, "Kisuke-niichan, you\'ll be teaching them Magic and Ki, right? Can I join them? I want to learn it too and do cool things like Nii-chan!"
Kisuke then picked up Claire and started spoiling her, "Of course you can~! I\'ll teach you everything you need to know so one day, you can wipe the floor with bad guys!"
"Really!? I can become a good Magical Girl too!?"
From Yoruichi\'s arm\'s Serafall\'s eyes lit up and she jumped down, "Magical Girl you say!? I\'ll teach you how to become a fine one!"
"Magical Levia-tan will teach me!?"
Serafall stood straight up and declared with great confidence, "You\'ll be my disciple! I\'ll show you the way of Magical Girls and dominate the world with it!"
"Yay!"
Sona could only shake her head at this scene, \'The Underworld will have another crazy Magical Girl in their ranks…\'
But also thanks to this ridiculously warm and silly scene, everyone from the Loki Familia was able to calm themselves down.
At that moment, Yoruichi turned to them, "Shall we start?"
Since they got permission from Loki and it\'s not as bad as Kisuke described, everyone nodded. Hence, it was the start of the revolution.
Meanwhile, Aika and Koneko were silently watching from the sideline while eating some snacks that Medusa kept serving, "Say… We came here for a vacation, didn\'t we?" asked Aika with a fed-up expression.
Koneko nodded and answered, "That\'s correct."
"Then why are we going straight back to training?"
"Because it\'s Kisuke-senpai?"
With a dry laugh, Aika replied, "…What a convincing answer that I can\'t find any words to refute it."
