Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

"... I will try to come whenever possible, so that won\'t be a problem," Rain said.

Rain was a bit surprised that no one was against the idea of him going. That was convenient, but it was troubling as well since they put too much trust in his choices. Regardless, Rain still had some time to leave, so he spent the next few days spending time with his sisters. He trained with Dana as much as possible and gave her all the tips that he knew about earth magic.

At the same time, he helped Kei read and also helped her learn a bit of water magic. She had a talent for that, and it made sense, given her calm nature. Spending time with Gila was a bit difficult since it didn\'t seem like she liked any of the men in the family; she just stared at them as if it was weird to have muscles, a beard, and not boobs.

"I guess being surrounded mostly by older sisters makes you like this," Rain thought while making some faces at Gila. "Well, soon enough, you will understand how cool of an older brother I am."

Rain wondered if he was thinking too much because of Dana, who always tried to play with him when she was younger. In any case, two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. During that time, Rain made sure to train a lot of his magic, and he improved his high-speed movement technique. It was unsightly, but it improved his speed.

Since he focused on his movement skill, Rain didn\'t make much progress in the last two weeks. He only got ten levels in the Healer\'s Path. He also felt weird with the current equipped skills since they left him a bit vulnerable. That being said, he had no other option if he wanted to level up his magic and wisdom faster.

"Well, I am going," Rain said once he stepped outside the house with his backpack. "I will probably use the first month to get used to the life there, but I will be back in a month, for a few days at least."

"All right, good luck, and don\'t find too many girlfriends," Roan said. "I was quite the careless kid at your age, so it is in your blood."

"Of all things you should have said now…" Leiah said and then sighed. "Rain, you are a smart kid, so we will trust that you won\'t get in trouble there. Try to send letters whenever possible."

"Okay," Rain said.

"One of our most trustworthy friends is a blacksmith called Lotto; he will introduce you to others that he can trust once you tell him our names," Meiro said.

That was such a small world that Rain was surprised. He didn\'t think that the blacksmith he had worked for a while in the capital would be a friend of his grandfather. Still, he disappeared without any warning while he was still working for him, so Rain wondered How Lotto would react.

"You should use this during the trip and until winter ends," Luana said and then put a blue scarf on Rain. "Don\'t get a cold while you are there. You can use healing magic, but it is better to prevent than remedy it."

"Thanks, Grandma," Rain said and then turned to his sisters. "Behave while I am away, okay? If you are stressed, you can pull Dad\'s bear and use him like a horse."

"Hey, my back hurts as well, you know?" Roan asked.

"... Okay," Dana said with some tears in her eyes.

Over the course of the week, Rain explained to his sisters that he was going to work away from the village. At first, Dana didn\'t like that, but she knew that he was going to do something important and she could do his job now, so it was fine. She still felt that she would miss him a lot since Rain was always with her when she was outside.

Kei didn\'t show much reaction; it looked like she was wondering who would teach her magic instead since Rain was the only one who did that. Gila was too small to understand the situation. In any case, Rain patted them on the head once more before he waved his hands to everyone and then turned around. Before long, with a single step, he crossed a distance of thirty meters.

"It isn\'t perfect, but it will do," Rain thought. "With this much, I should gain a few days."

Rain\'s high-speed technique relied on his earth magic and his fine control over it. With his mana, he made the ground below his feet give an impulse forward, but he also used his leg strength to cross a longer distance. Thanks to that, he would destroy any signs of his steps left behind.

It would be great if that could turn into a skill, but it couldn\'t… still, the mana he was using was minimal, so he crossed fifty kilometers in just ten minutes. His body was hurting, thanks to the friction, though.
