Shaman nodded at Elysia as they may as well play along with Clara's plot to hide from Himeko although she may get found anyway.
"We still have most of the day left since we left the dungeon rather early, did you want to go out to the arena and practice some of our skills? I think they are in need of a level up as well as our elements." Shaman could not help feel that they were slowly becoming underleveled since they did not know the max level of skills or the max tier an element can achieve.
'I wish Rea could talk.' Shaman missed having the presence in her mind as reading text from a system window did not feel the same.
"I know right I wish I could bloody talk already but I had been put on mute for so long I forget when I wi-" Rea's voice rang out inside of Shaman's head giving Shaman a surprise.
"Wait Rea? Can you talk now?" Shaman wore a surprised expression but that surprise soon turned into excitement as it was just like her wish was granted instantly.
"FFFFFFFFFUCKING FINALLY!!!!!" Rea shouted as loud as she could, luckily it did not kill Shaman's ears as it seemed like her volume was turned down but you could tell she was yelling.
"Wait Rea is back?" Elysia watched the change in expression from Shaman which was rather amusing. Wolfy had also walked over from the window as he was also keen to talk to Rea again.
"YESS!! I'M BACK BITCHES!!!" Everyone could hear Rea which put a smile on both Shaman and Elysia's face and Wolfy's tail also started to wag a bit as Rea's excitement felt contagious.
"Ahem, sorry about that, I broke character a little." Rea's excitement died down causing everyone to laugh as it was adorable to hear Rea so excited.
"No worries Rea, we are just glad that you are back and if anything we would like you to keep being yourself." Shaman's mood had gotten better after being tense due to the news of Himeko attempting to control them.
"Oh okay, that makes me h-happy to hear." Rea sounded shy and all Shaman could imagine was a girl putting her fingers together nervously.
"Hey. how did you know I was doing that!!" Rea was able to see what Shaman was thinking and got even more embarrassed.
"Ahaha, I forget you could read my mind but does that mean you have a physical body?" Despite liking Rea, she still wanted to get as much information as she could out of her.
"Shut up!." Rea knew Shaman's intentions and did not want to take any chances since last time it got her muted.
"Wait, Clara is in the kitchen she can hear us!" Elysia completely forgot that Clara was in the room as the excitement of Rea took over them.
Shaman's eyes widened as they needed to make sure that they kept their system hidden and since Clara was still under Himeko they could be taken as spies.
Elysia quickly sprinted over to the kitchen opening one of the far cabinets she entered but when she opened it Clara was no longer in it. This caused Elysia's face to pale as this could mean bad news for them. Elysia also quickly came out of the kitchen and the look on her face told Shaman everything.
'Shit we should have spoken in our minds since you basically give us free telepathy Rea.' Shaman was rather used to speaking out loud as they were usually by themselves but since they are around people that are not aware of their secret they had to be cautious.
'It's okay Shaman, When I spoke I could sense that no one was in the room so there was nothing to worry about.' Shaman was confused by Rea's words as to how Clara was able to disappear so suddenly as she had only just entered the cupboard.
"Wait, where is she then?" Elysia also got the message too but then suddenly a ball of fire came into the room.
Both Shaman and Elysia shut up as they knew Himeko was coming into the room.
When the ball of flame disappeared, Himeko was revealed in her usual outfit with Clara over her shoulder.
"Hello there my lovelies, sorry I just had to catch a brat but since some people are going to arrive soon I did not have time to dish out any punishments yet." Himeko spoke in a calm tone but there was also a terrifying undertone to her words.
*Sob*
Clara could be heard sobbing as she was being carried over the shoulder and she knew what she was in for. Shaman and Elysia shared a moment of relief as it seemed that Clara was caught before they started talking to Rea which was rather quick but it worked out.
'Poor Clara let's hope she is still able to go into the dungeon with us.' Shaman was a little worried that Clara might not be able to come to the dungeon since it was possibly the best spot to free Clara of Himeko's influence.
"Expect a knock on your door soon and they will begin to do some training routines with you while I deal with a certain trouble maker." With that said Himeko made haste and disappeared with her fire without saying goodbye.
"She really likes to just leave after she is finished talking." Elysia found it a little rude how Himeko just leaves after speaking but they had gotten used to it at this point.
"Not much we can do, so might as well wait for the instructors, this will probably be the first time we are really out of sight of Himeko so we need to see if this can be a ticket out of this place." Since they were not under any suspicion yet, Shaman assumed that Himeko would not be looking over them, which would allow them to leave the city.
"Well while we wait do you want to cuddle?" Elysia agreed with Shaman but since they were waiting she thought it might be good to have some down time.
"Sure that would be great, Wolfy did you want to join us on the bed?" Shaman could see that Wolfy was doing his usual lazing around nearby while things unfold but when Shaman invited him his head perked up and his tail began to wag.
"Well come on up." Shaman gestured for Wolfy to come up on the bed and Wolfy took the invitation.
Elysia climbed on to the bed and pulled Shaman in. Since Elysia was taller, Shaman found herself once again submerged in Elysia's breasts. They both laid down on the bed hugging each other and Elysia took this opportunity to pet Shaman's ears.
Shaman jumped a little as it was a new feeling she never thought she would experience.
'This is like head scratches but 10 times better, where were my fox ears in my past life.' Shaman was feeling bliss and was on the verge of sleep due to how nice it felt.
A few minutes went by until their cuddle was cut short by the expected knock on the door.
"Hey, it's your instructors." A male's voice rang out through the door and Shaman pouted as the ear scratches had stopped.
"I'll get it." Elysia got up from the bed and went to the door. Shaman sat up from the bed and Wolfy stayed chilling on the soft mattress.
Elysia opened the door to find a man and woman was present behind it. The man wore a shirt that was black and gray with stitches separating the colors and looked like a makeshift shirt rather than a proper one, he also just wore black jeans with standard black shoes. The man also had short dark gray hair and dead gray eyes which scared Elysia a little.
'This guy really is going for the doom and gloom look.' Shaman who was still in bed could see the man could not help think the dude was a little emo.
"Aha welcome." Elysia stood back to let them in.
They now had a good look at the woman who was behind the man.
She had blonde hair, blue and wore a typical huntress outfit that was completely black with a few white streaks throughout the outfit. Elysia and Shaman also noticed that she was an elf as her ears were slightly sticking out
'She could not resemble a typical archer any more than she already is. She is even an elf, whose race is the textbook example for an archer.' Shaman could not help thinking how stereotypical it was that their archery teacher would be an elf.
"Well let's start with introductions, I am instructor Stein or just Stein and this is Arsia. I will be doing the sword training with you Shaman and Arsia will take care of you Elysia." Stein introduced himself to the 2 girls and did a small bow.
"Well nice to meet you, where shall we do the training?" Elysia was curious as she knew she could not be far away from Shaman as it could lead to a panic attack.
"We know that you can't be separated so we will be training in the same area but first off we are going to the small arena outback." Stein pointed behind him and gave her a slight smile.
"I will see you there, so be down there in 10 otherwise I won't go easy on you." With that said Stein walked out of the room.
"Oh don't mind him, he just wants to get it over with and get back to his work, but still make sure to be on time." Arsia winked and quickly ran off to follow Stein. Shaman let out a sigh as it seems they are going to be trained by weirdos but it wasn't like they could talk.
"Well I guess we should go." Shaman hopped up from the bed and began to get ready.
