The next six days passed quickly as our group spent a lot of time practicing magic and I adjusted the mana circulation in my wings.

However, the nice thing about this spell was that I could study this spell the same way I did for imbue and learn to wild cast altered versions of this spell using fire or water. The nature of Morrigan's class, which she frustratingly refused to tell me the name of unless I ordered her to, allowed her to learn a 'colorless' version of the spell that she can fuel with environmental magic. She's overjoyed because she just became an incredible buffer, both for herself and for others. Her staff of manaflow allows her to cast the armor using earth mana and there will be lots of situations where the environmental mana will counter whatever we will be fighting. The only downside is that her version takes a little while to cast. She can't just snap one up on all of us at the same time. It also takes a decent amount of mana so she may not be able to cast it on too many people at once depending on the mana density of the area. It should be amazing in dungeons though. When we weren't practicing that stuff, Morrigan was working with Raya to teach her the basics of magic and wild casting. It's slow going but Raya is making progress, especially with Theo to supplement her teaching as well.

Morrigan continues to seem jealous of the natural aura ability succubi have. I haven't had either of the twins approach me about it yet despite the two of them having several long conversations away from the others. Assuming that's what they're actually discussing, it's hard for me to tell exactly because they haven't been forthcoming with me on this topic. Understandable since I'm kind of biased. I have already warned Morrigan a few times that I won't transform Torien unless she actually wants it, convincing her to go through with it because Morrigan wants to won't be good enough for me. Torien has to want it too, or the twins will have to accept that both of them will not become succubi.

The meetings between the two were kind of spurred on because Theo has started teaching all of the succubi, even the ones that don't really use magic like Sibyl and Cecilia, [Internal Mana Manipulation] so that they can combine it with their natural aura to better utilize it. One of the biggest advantages of having an aura is that you can make it harder for magic to directly penetrate the aura, with [Internal Mana Manipulation] you can learn how to shape and alter your aura more easily since the aura kind of becomes an extension of your internal mana circulation. For fighters, this means one of their biggest weaknesses, magic, can be mitigated using this natural resistance. For mages, it allows them to cast things through their aura as if it were part of their body. This is really useful for Bella in particular, it gives her a bit more range on her healing abilities, not a ton, but enough to be useful. For Morrigan, it would increase her... surface area? and allow her to reach more of the mana in the environment. I don't completely understand but this is the way she explained the benefits she would get.

Mimi hilariously didn't need any training at all and got the skill as soon as it was explained to her. Apparently the way she uses mana in the first place is a lot different from us. So once she was told how to manipulate her own mana it became natural for her and learning how to use her aura was even easier. Mimics have very flexible proportions, obviously, so controlling mana outside of her body using her aura was just like being told that her body extends a little farther. For her, it's not weird to be able to change the shape of her outsides and thus changing the shape of her aura doesn't seem any different to her.

Theo did suggest bringing her to train under a spatial mage though. Her natural affinity for the magic type as demonstrated by her use of her pocket dimension means that she wouldn't have as hard of a time as most people learning it. It would give her some access to things like gravity magic, portals, and teleportation, all of which sound scary powerful. Mimi told me that she already heavily invests in her magic stats for related reasons so becoming a mage would make sense. Her body density is also governed by her pocket dimension so improving her magic stats also increases her durability, meaning it would double as investing in a defensive stat. In the meantime I've started teaching her ritual magic and light magic, if she could learn [Light Scribing] she would likely be able to fuel a lot of magic depending on her affinities. I'm still excited to track down a more in-depth book on ritual magic once we eventually reach the capital.

Sibyl, Cecilia, and Silva trained a lot together whenever we stopped and the first two weren't being taught magic stuff. The three of them had more physical focused builds and the former two kept it that way after their transformation. Sibyl told me she invested a bit into magic since she was learning things from Theo though. Enhancement magic is a natural fit for fighters if they could use it, even if it was only learned at a basic level. She wasn't like me who wanted to split my focus between physical fighting and spell casting but since she had a magic aura anyway it made sense for her to invest in magic a little bit. Magic Swordsman was not a common class and she preferred to stick with what she was familiar with for the most part. Sibyl mainly uses a sword or hand-to-hand combat with lots of throws similar to something like Judo from my original world. Her shorter stature has actually improved her skills with the martial art she uses and it's really impressive to watch.

Cecilia had a sort of berserker class that has a focus on animals from what she's told me. It simultaneously helped her with her job of raising and caring for animals while also giving her strength in line with the animals she was most familiar with. Unsurprisingly, uunas are scary animals when they want to be, as I've experienced firsthand, so by extension, she is also a scary fighter. This made her an obvious choice as a traveling guard who also took care of the animals. She hadn't had this class when she first went traveling with Tarklin but her skills ended up blending that way. It seems there's a lot more to classes than 'this dude uses a sword good' like I have seen so far. Her weapon of choice is her large two-handed axe but she has been fighting hand to hand in their sparring matches.

Not much was up with Silva. She spends a lot of time playing cards or spending time with Torien. Because Torien and Morrigan have been talking a lot in the evenings lately she's had even more downtime than before. She's spent a lot of the time sparring with the others, in addition to using a spear she also knows some kind of martial art as well. It's less flashy than Sibyl's but it seems pretty effective for her. I half expected her to do lots of kicks based on her big rabbit legs but it turns out that her martial art is more similar to something like boxing. She uses her powerful bursts of speed to get in close and do damage around people's guard. Silva is around the same level as the others but the other two don't hold a candle to her in technique. She hasn't lost a single spar, even two on one. Silva is kind of terrifying.

Every night had been filled with lots of sex in various pairings due to the excuse that we should be as satiated as possible once we reached the capital. I mostly kept to my girlfriends but occasionally shared a bed with Raya and Sibyl too. Those two seemed to make it their mission to sample all of us, the only ones who refused were Torien and Silva. The two of them even spent a few nights with Theo much to his enthusiasm. The guy was kind of a horn dog and the next morning they assured me that he really was good in bed. As handsome as the guy is though, I wasn't interested in sleeping with him. I think my first impression of him was negative enough that I intended to keep our relationship professional. He was growing on me as a friend though.

At the end of the ninth day since we left Goldenhearth and the fortieth day since I've come to this world, Torlimal City, the capital of the Torlimal Kingdom, was on the horizon when we stopped for the night.
