It took quite some time, Shen started to fidget as her eyes were closed. Her hands were starting to scratch at each other— her hands went towards her ears.
It seemed like this subject was tough for her. However, it only took a few minutes for her to clear her throat.
"Alright, alright.. So there really isn't much information on what a fenrir is."
That's… anti-climactic. Why all the wait and thinking then?
"On the other hand, the information about what one is, explains a lot." Shen leaned forward, she took a deep breath and went on. "They're the legendary race for a wolfkin. Which is you, black hair, purple and pink colored eyes.
To be blunt, I have no idea what you can become— nor can anyone. Records of the past said out of every legendary race the fenrir is the most dangerous. Abilities are unknown, but a characteristic stays the same. Think of it as a fenrir just gets 'reprinted' every generation or so
They love destruction, death and chaos. However, from a lost village— one that was destroyed, stated those signs would show at a young age. And that's why I do not believe you are a fenrir… well you are in biology."
That really explains a little bit. I thought after Shen finished her explanation. Nigh immortal body.
"What's with that look?"
"I remember something." I paused and looked towards the road. "When we went through Frosted Peaks, before I had my foot healed… I had this… dream? Another me was there, and she said I had the potential to have a 'nigh immortal' body. I think that could be related to what I could become."
Shen nodded at my words, and confirmed it's a possibility. Apparently, nigh immortality could be an ability I will have.
There is another race like that, "Wendigo" is what it's called. More information was reported on that race.
Wendigos, contrary to mythology on earth, are a mutated form of Deerkin in this world. They had shapeshifting abilities, although with some inaccurate characteristics. Could be an odd pupil, hair color or anything.
For an example she had given, was someone she met. An older guy that had oddly shaped curved horns, yellowed hair with some black. Shen took him in, for days on end he never ate food. Only until he became sickly… In the end he was only found to possess the wendigo bloodline and needed human meat to survive.
So races and bloodlines can affect others that much…? I raised my eyebrows at what her example was. "Even if they aren't that being they're still affected?"
"Mmhhhm, they still have the DNA going through them." Shen confirmed with a nod. "Another one, the kitsune. They have better healing abilities than me. But the actual one has vastly different abilities!
Healing, yes, but that's not all."
She's so energetic now… She was standing whilst wagging her finger. There were twitches pulsating through her ears. Is she that excited?
"She has three forms— one that increases her healing abilities. The second makes her really quick, to the point she can rival Valda. Then she can use her healing magic to harm others."
…I had to make her repeat that. It caused my head to swim upon hearing it. Isn't that contradictory to what healing is?
"I know, I know I can see it on your face. There're a lot of contradictory things in this world, Yukina. Take me for example." Shen pointed at herself with a smile. "I'm undead, but I can bleed… I have periods, and I need sleep like every other girl."
She's not embarrassed about the period this time huh?
"That… makes sense… Also you know who she is?"
"Mhhhhm, but keep it a secret!"
Shen forced my finger to my lips and made me stay quiet.
"My student~ Uzuki, she's that kitsune…"
…
The picture of that first girl popped in my mind. That shock might've shown on my face because Shen smiled. What… are the chances…
She found one… but now two… Was she that lucky or…Well technically three if I count..
Shen interrupted my thoughts merely seconds later. I felt my ribs twitch from where her hand was. My heart started to race from it.
"Anyways, anyways- The presents should be ready, let's go inside! I have a few things for you, so come on!"
Why is she so energetic?! I stared at her as she turned around. Her tail was wagging so fast— I could practically feel the air sending at me.
Mister Takeda never had this much energy-
"Yukinnna, c'mon!" Shen opened the door with a gigantic grin. "Come on, come on! Everyone has gotten you things you like!"
"A-Alright-" I scratched my cheek and slowly walked to the door. Before I could react Shen yanked my hand and pulled me inside.
"Miss Shen put her back outside! It's way too early!"
"Oh, sorry!"
What was that? I couldn't get a glimpse of anything before I was pushed back.
"Nevermind, nevermind, Yukina, let's keep talking."
"What's going on in there?"
"Something, go to the railing."
Shen, what's wrong with you right now? Shen's energy was starting to get worse- she became really energetic now.
She began tapping on the railing with a smile, her head moved back and forth. Hell… her tail's going at it again.
"Shen, are you okay?"
"Hm? Yes?"
"You aren't acting yourself anymore." I pointed out.
Shen stared at me with nothing going behind her eyes. Seconds later she shrugged and turned away.
"It's how I am. I get these random spouts of energy, then it gets hard to focus… but I am okay, don't worry." Shen replied. She brought a finger up to shush me. "I just need a little time before I could… just give me a couple of hours…"
What is it?
"I think I spoke too much… crap, crap…" Shen held her head with both hands and faced the other direction. "Um, just think of this as my normal out of work! Yeah! You can't really be loud during work, y'know?!"
Sure… Sounds like she actually has something going on up there. Something not good that is.
Hyperactive, can barely focus… Sounds like my junior back then..I wonder if he's still alive.. Sora was known to be reckless.. .
