There were two weeks left until the Event Quest began. Twelve days had passed since we slipped out of Inkoran-Tazul to go to speak with Saori. Naturally, as an idol, I couldnt exactly stay still. I had to do something to prepare for the big day, not to mention I had an upcoming concert to prepare for. So, what exactly did I do?

Custom Magic gained: [Hydra]

All-growing serpent, all-growing monster

From flesh you came, of molten fire you are made

Obsidian skin and bones cover your body, your breath as vile as noxious flames

Heed my call, oh beast, fight by my side. Explode in pure heat!

Hydra!

A brown magic circle appeared behind me before it sent an eruption of purple lava into the air, scorching the air and the ground around me. Using my wings as cover, I blasted the splashes away from me, protecting me from my own spell. After some seconds passed, the lava congregated back to the still visible magic circle, before it turned into a molten sludge with three serpentine heads.

This [Corrosive Flame] spell created a golem; that was my answer to two of my current weaknesses. First, a lack of quick lava creation, and then my just-average melee capabilities when I was away from my close-combat oriented team members like Saori or Neill. Similar to Tasiannas idea of covering up her weaknesses by spamming golem-type spells like [Winters Golem] and [Slithering Frost Serpent], I had the fantastic idea of an ever regenerating lava source.

It just so happened the mythological hydra was the best inspiration source for it Even if those monsters were a real thing in this world.

Obsidian Blaze!

Even if the hydra golem could move by itself, it was still more useful if I took full control over it. Unlike [Unheiliger Engel], which was a more jack-of-all-trade spell, this new custom spell was here for one thing onlycarnage!

Fire! I unleashed the triple-headed monstrosity, forcing it to spew corrosive lava sprays at my opponent in front of me, following up with my own [Corrosive Flame] breath.

The feminine silhouette of my opponent disappeared under the inferno, however, with [Detection Sensor], I could tell she managed to dodge the blasts. In fact, snapping my head to my left, I saw her skating along several blue seamsdragon pathscovering the ground. A fat grin was on her face as she glared at me with her hands accumulating pure mana into a ball.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

Pulse Arcana! I instantly recognized one of my sisters moves. Striking with pure manasomething kirins could harness with their dragon pathscounted as a magical attack, but it wasnt affected by any resistances. Meaning, if you had low wisdom, these attacks could hit like trucks!

Ive been able to pad my vitality and wisdom for a while now, but this would still sting! Fortunately for me, I didnt need to dodge, all I needed to do was continue spamming spells as my trusty companion helped me!

And just as I thought that, I felt a signal coming from below me. I kept my eyes on my approaching sister, shooting out spells and using the [Hydra] to hinder her, but I knew whoever this new signal was, it was coming out of my shadow. Seconds later, I was launched into the air, avoiding the [Pulse Arcana], all while I felt somebody carrying me.

Lets go, Rajah!

[Yes, Master!] Fully adorned in new Grimnir-made armor, my battle cat, Rajah, roared like a real tiger before he used [Air Steps] to softly land on the ground, only for him to dodge away again, as Neill nearly landed a sucker punch on us! [Im ready!]

I nodded and took out my glaive before grabbing the added handle on Rajahs full-body armor, holding onto it tightly before I placed my feet into his stirrups. Once I was finally ready, Rajah jumped into the air, prompting me to activate my rocket boosters to blast us forward while charging at Neill with my glaive pointed forward like a calvary.

Using her floating scales like a shield, she redirected the attack slightly away from her, allowing her to grab my glaive. Instead of fighting over it, I let go of it and sent my own set of scales out, creating small floating platforms for Rajah to step on to conserve his [Air Steps] usage. Undeterred by our failed attack, he continued staying mobile while I resumed my spell onslaught and my [Hydra] attacks.

Inside my subspaces training area, we were allowed to go all out with the destruction. As such, I was free to use [Bedrock Blades] to push Neill back into [Hydra]s range, and then use my new spell to slam its sludge heads on the ground, creating more lava while threatening her with irresistible toxins. With [Obsidian Blaze], even if the initial attack didnt hit her, it allowed me to use my magmakinesis to attack with.

Thats good! Keep moving around, Rajah. Keep spamming that mana pool of yours, Sis! Neill encouraged us before stomping the ground, sending her dragon paths forward to stop my [Bedrock Blades] before [Gale Step]ping forward to smash the ground before us.

At that,rocks flew up out of the ground, blocking our sight and path, but Rajah got creative. Using the numerous shadows created by this move, he cast three [Dark Tendrils]. One to grab onto his front paw to help us continue moving with my rocket boosters, while the other two to keep Neill in place as my [Hydra] launched a lava breath at her.

She shielded against the breath with her scale barrier, giving me the chance to retrieve my glaive and flank Neill in a pincer maneuver with my [Hydra] golem. Once enough speed was created, I jumped off Rajahs back and set my tail and glaive aflame. With one deep breath, I recited my going-all-out battle cry.

Kriffiek kllk gaaung!

Kriiark klish garfinik. And so did she.

[Battle Frenzy (Minor)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Strands of my hair turned glowing white while some of hers turned neon purple. This was how two Kargryxmor dragons fought, with the one who could last longer in [Battle Frenzy] mode usually winning due to the huge stat boost at the major stage. At least, that was what Neill told me. As this was training, though, she limited her usage to the minor stage for my sake.

Battle Frenzy: The battle will of the Black Tyrant Dragon Kargryxmor coursing through his descendants blood, tamed by the dragon to release the full potential of the Black Tyrants spawn. When activated, depending on the stage, stats and resource regeneration will increase

Based on Neills own experiences, minor gave 10%, moderate 25%, and major was a whooping 45% increase in stats and resource regenerationhealth, mana, and stamina, in other words. Since she just unlocked her [Battle Frenzy (Major)], it would be a bit unfair for me, even if I had [Symphonie des Feuergottes] and [Stage Fever] to keep up. It was training, at the end of the day.

And this little fact became even clearer when Neill used her dragon paths to pull out some of her scales to form a temporary baton to block my glaive. Sure, I broke through it, but the little opening she created with this trick meant the flame breath of my [Hydra] struck me, sending me flying back.

Terrible mistake in a real fight which a real fighter could take advantage of, but something to remember in the future since this was just a spar. This was, after all, my first real golem-type spell. I needed to learn to manage it better, and keep tricks like what Sis did in mind.

As I stood back up, my [Foresight] activated and I ducked as Sis nearly kicked me, only for her to stomp down at my glaive, once again separating it from me. Usually, I would rocket boost myself out of a melee confrontation, but this was training and I wouldnt shy away from bettering myself.

I grabbed her leg, pulled her closer to me and jumped, nearly landing a kick to her head, before thrusting my tail forward. Being more proficient and my CQC trainer, Neill barely needed to sweat to block them, but I continued, even copying the motions Sis used to fight her.

Good! Keep your arms up! Guard when you hit, dont let your legs slow down! Footwork! Its even more important to keep attacking as if youre flowing like a river while youre fighting with your limbs only! She handed her advice as she dodged, blocked, and even countered.

Using the fighting style I developed on my own, Yorshkas martial training, and Siss pure close-combat instructions, I kept pushing Sis back. By also using my flames, rocket boosters, scale-dust, [Flash Fire], and draconic abilities, keeping up pressure was even easier. Alternating between them, even mixing some spells here and there, made it so Sis could counter less and less.

Eventually, Rajah joined in, using his shadows and dark magic to our advantage to keep her movements in check. I even got [Hydra] to come over, using the lava like limbs with [Obsidian Blaze]. With all of them here, I didnt need to focus on my artillery mage skills, I could fight and relish in this blood-pumping action.

Neill might have been holding back, and not only with her [Battle Frenzy], but it still felt hard to continue fighting with my claws and tail. It did feel like I was trying to punch a hummingbird.

However, like all good things, it had to end. Rajah, being a rank C virigress, couldnt keep up with us in Stamina. I didnt even have to use my solar energy nor did Neill have to go full-serious, but we still stopped todays sparring match.

Good work. Neill threw over a towel so I could clean off my sweat. Well, it was more her sweat landing on me as she used her grappling moves. Unless it was really hot, I just wouldnt sweat.

Still, I accepted it just as Tasianna and Svena came over to serve us some ice tea, letting the both of us cool and wet our parched mouths. We both moaned at the same time, letting out sighs of happiness after a tiring training session, while Rajah just devoured his tea bowl like a dog. My body didnt feel too exhausted yet, but I could feel the burn with how taxing Neills training regiment was.

Funnily enough, Svena did let out a small giggle when this happened, prompting us to ask her what was wrong. She told us up until now, she had never seen two sisters bond this much through fighting and exercise. Very understandable.

It does make us seem more like tomboys, huh? I noted, only for Neill to wrap her arm around my shoulders.

Nah, thats just a human thing. Nothing beats some roughhousing for rapport, if you ask me. You get to know a person better when they are ready to show you their weak and strong sides, Neill gave her opinion on it, to which I could agree, as sparring with Saori and Tasianna in the past had brought us closer. Still, wouldnt this be more common if you have a primarily dominant male household, though, Svena? The girls have to fight back. I had to with my brothers, even if they only did it to teach me of draconic society.

She tilted her head, contemplating the question. I guess that is a good point, Lady Fargryneill. Although, I didnt have any siblings myself, so I couldnt tell you.

On the other hand, my virigress gave a concise answer. [Rajah likes to fight with siblings. Shows who is strongest and who has to protect the other. Cant really fight and train with anybody else but family when we still lived in the forest.]

Fairies do pull pranks on each other, both male and female, Tasianna stated. Maybe we can ask Tatsuya and Kyouya? Have they ever mentioned if they had siblings?

As such, we turned around to the other group currently using the training groundsEllaines training pals.

Faster! Faster! Come on, this isnt just endurance training but this is also for your agility! Weve done this so many times already, so keep up! the blue-haired noble girl shouted while wearing sweatpants and a tank top, all sweaty as she had been keeping up with her own training since past lunch.

Huurgh the archer Misaki groaned softly as she wiped away some sweat from her forehead.

Now, as Atsuko Licht, I entered Inkoran-Tazul alongside Ellaine, Shay, Beth, Neill, Grimnir, Daichi, and Haruka. Our goal? The railroad guild and our acquaintance thereJadhund. We werent going there just for trains and stuff, there was also something concerning manatech and artificers we had to deal with.

We were here for the Church of Chihiro.

A note from AbyssRaven

I don't have sisters. Do sisters fight each other using fire, lightning, and go full MMA on each other?

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
