Yami rubbed the back of his neck as he sat on a bar stool inside the guild of Phantom Lord. The guild was mostly empty with the odd phantom lord guild member sitting around at a table either sleeping, drinking or eating. Yami looked down at his glass of scotch with no ice and raised it to his lips. The make parted his thin lips and took a sip of his scotch, swirling the cup around in his hand to mix the scotch to keep the alcohol from forming at the bottom of the glass. He sat the glass down and sighed as he propped his right elbow up on the counter top and rested his right cheek in his palm. He was bored. He needed something to do but what. There were no quests to do at the moment to pass the time and he needed something to do but he couldn't think of just what he could do to pass the time.

It was then a though popped into the wind mage's head. He had just increased his magical reserves when he ranked up to become a C class mage. His reserves had all but doubled in size and his magical control had increased allowing him to cast higher tier spells. He had a small amount of D rank spells but no C rank spells, perhaps it was time to make a few. He tapped his hairless chin before asking the barmaid for a pad of paper and a pen, flashing her a lady killer smile while doing so. The young woman behind the bar swooned, blushing bright red but did as the handsome young man asked. As she disappeared Yami began to mull over the type of spells he wanted. He needed a couple of offensive spells to improve his offensive arsenal. The question is just what type of spell could he make? He also didn't question that he needed to make a buffing spell to boost his speed, and a few supplementary spells to give him a diverse arsenal. THe wider his range of abilities the stronger he would become. He had an idea for five spells, two he would make into offensive spells, two into supplementary while the last would be a speed buff spell. The mage raised his glass and took the last sip of his scotch as the barmaid returned with a pen and paper.

Yami thanked her before asking for a refill, which she obliged. He flashed his lady killer smile and went to work. He began jotting down the idea of his first offensive spell. in his head it was relatively simple, he would great a gun shape with his hand and channel wind magic to his finger tip. By cocking his thumb down like a firing pin it would fire a ball of compressed wind that would shoot through the air like a bullet to pierce through his intended target. The spell was simplistic in nature and if he could sustain it by continuously channel mana into it he could fire off multiple bullets of wind. In fact he would call the spell Wind bullet, simple and it wasn't like he would be screaming the name of his spell.

Yami chewed the end of the pen after he had written down the details of the first spell, wind bullet, on paper. He had three offensive spells already WInd Volley, Twister and Wind Cutter. Wind Volley was a long range area of effect spell used to bombard a five meter away target with deadly wind blades. Twister was a close range area of effect spell used when his targets go to close to his body. Finally wind cutter it was a long to short range spell that involved Yami slashed a hand to launch a sharp blade of wind to cut his foes. This wind bullet would provide another close to long range attack and seeing as it was sustained just like his wind cutter he could fire both at the same time and continue to each time. Now he had one more offensive spell to create. Perhaps he should make another Area of Effect spell one that could be cast from a distance to target a location far away from him. He mulled over the idea, it seemed plausible he just had to take the concept of his wind volley and modify it.

In fact the area of effect spell he was thinking off would simply be a stronger and larger version of the wind volley. By giving the command, which would be an extending of the arm, flick of the wrist and click of the fingers at a target location he would command the wind to engulf an area in deadly wind blades to shred those caught within. He mulled the idea over as he jotted it down onto the paper. He was writing with his right hand as he predominately dominate with his right hand, but it didn't mean he couldn't use both. He just wasn't as skilled with his left as he was with his right hand. His left hand gripped his glass of scotch and raised it to his lips allowing him to take another sip of the alcoholic beverage.

The wind mage tapped the pen on the edge of the counter attempting to think of his next idea. He had three spell ideas left to make up, two for supplementary class spells and one for self buffing speed type spells. Yami focused heavily on the speed attribute, especially with his massive height. He was going to build up his speed so that when he could make flight spells he could zip through the air at high speeds like a bird and couldn't be caught. He was quite slow at the moment however only moving at around five meters per second. He really needed to rise his speed but also his strength and endurance along with his magical control. The more control over his magic the less mana he would use with his spells allowing him to cast his spells longer and use more. Conversing ones magical energy was a big deal for a mage. Once you expanded your reserves you had to rely on your hand to hand combat skills.

Yami tapped the counter as he took another sip of his scotch, two spells down three to go. The first of the two supplementary spells he would make would be something to blind side his opponent to give him the chance to attack by striking a vital point. Yami mulled over the idea of what he could do, should he make it a single target spell or an area of effect to blind multiple targets. In the end he decided to turn it into an area of effect spell for multiple targets. The idea he would be simple enough all he had to do was wave his hand in his intended target and a gust of wind would blow fiercely throwing up dust or sand, whatever was in the area and throw it up into the enemies eyes. The dust, sand would get into their eyes blinding them momentarily, using that chance Yami would then dash in and attempt to strike them in a vital point to put them down as quickly as can. Yami scribbled the idea down on the paper. Yami wrote in a calligraphy style and his hand writing could only be described as beautiful. His hand was controlled and did not rush as he wrote out his idea with a swift flourish of the pen jotting down his idea. He swiped the pen through the air with the last stroke and went back to thinking about the fourth spell.

Yami would need another supplementary spell, something that could be useful to him. He mulled the idea over and pondered on just what he needed, he already had a movement spell but perhaps a slightly modified movement spell was needed. This spell he would control the wind in order to assist him when moving at high speeds. If he could use the wind to assist him in changing directions or even bring him to a halt before he crashed from moving to fast that would be incredibly useful in battle. He tapped the counter before he began scribbling away once more jotting the fourth idea down on paper. By the end he had four spell ideas, the first was the wind bullet, followed by a spell he would call gale, then gust and this new one he would call Lull. The spell names were simply and ease to remember. He didn't need some extravagant over the top spell name.

Yami snorted in amusement as he remembered catching a few of his guild mates shouting out ridiculously long and complicated spell names before firing off flashy spells. Flashy spells had no use in combat what was the point on flashy when with a single strike a well executed and simple spell could do just the same with less effort. Yami thought anyone who was like that were morons. He preferred simplicity and when he made his spells that was what he was aiming for. Something that was to the point and when cast you could see its effects straight away. The wind mage tapped the pen as he went into his thoughts once more.

Yami was four spells in time to think up the fifth and final spell. Being a speed enhancing spell the design was simply enough. All he needed to do was swipe a hand through the air and he would be able to summon the wind to wrap around his feet. The wind would the push him along through the air propelling him at heightened speeds, combined with his other speed buff he could double, even triple his speed going up another tier. Yami took a sip of his scotch drowning the last amount and placed the glass down as he began jotting his idea down. As he jotted it down he asked for a refill from the barmaid. The maid obliged her cheeks bright red as she poured the drink. Yami took notice she had unbuttoned the top three buttons of her blouse showing off her well endowed cleavage. SHe had even hiked her skirt off trimming it making it shorter. She 'accidentally' dropped something on the ground and picked it up, showing off her curvy behind displaying it for the wind mage. Yami held back an amused snort as he jotted his idea down, no time to play around at the moment. He could seduce and fool around with her later on.

The wind mage scribbled his last idea before tossing down a number of jewels to pay for his drinks. He then raised his glass and downed the entire scotch within in one gulp. He slammed the glass down and bid the barmaid goodbye but not before flashing a lady killer smile and sending a flirty wink her way while mouthing 'later you and me'. The maid blushed bright red but nodded her head before going back to work. Yami walked out of the front of the phantom lord guild his note in his right hand. The wind mage began heading out back to the phantom lord training fields in order to test out his new spell ideas and see if he could get them work. Tucked in the right of his suit jacket was of course his sylph sect book.

The mage stuffed the note into his right trouser pocket, waving to his fellow guild mates who had similar ideas to him. Yami walked on further into the back looking for a private field. He made his way through thick forest and over rock eventually coming to a small open clearing with plenty of wooden posts to be used as targets and straw dummies. Yami eyed his surroundings, first deciding to use his current arsenal of spells. Yami slashed his left hand through the air launching a razor sharp blade of wind towards one of the draw dummies, aimed at its head. THe wind blade sliced through the air at speeds of twenty meters per second before hitting the neck bridge of the dummy. The blade cut in deep but didn't succeed in decapitating the dummy. Yami's book glowed filling him with power and he slashed the air four more times launching four blades of wind that each struck the same spot and cleaved the dummies head off sending it flying through the air.

The wind mage allowed a sadistic smile to form on his lips as he eyed the head of the dummy as it rolled along the ground. Test complete now it was time to move onto his new spell ideas. FIve spells needed to be made and he was eager to see them created. The mage rolled his shoulders before taking off his suits jacket. He neatly folded it over and rested it down on a nearby bench so he wouldn't get it dirty. He began undoing the cuffs of his white shirt, and rolled the sleeves up to his elbows. He raised the collar of his shirt and licked his lips as he turned his focus onto another straw dummy, it would do nicely. The mage extended his right arm to its full length and pointed it towards the straw dummy. He began to imagine the spell in his head as he folded his ring and pinky finger into his hand, while raising his thumb. Yami brought his index and middle finger together as he pictured the shape of a gun in his hand. He imagined that he wasn't just holding a gun that his right hand was the gun. His eyes shut as he focused all his attention on the spell, he wanted to get it right on the first go.

The idea behind the spell was simple enough just form a gun shape with your hand and fire. But there was more to it than that. There was intent of the spell, controlling of ones magic, elemental manipulating, imagining the spells shape and image followed by the picturing the spells effect. A mage had to think up all of this when they cast a spell. But most of all was the intent behind the spell. His spells were designed to kill so Yami picture that in his head as his killer intent began to rise. A thick blood lust rolled off Yami's giant body as his eyes snapped open, he had the spell pictured in his mind. The moment the spell was pictured magical energy surged around Yami coloured grey. Grey magical energy lashed out flowing out like a tsunami. The wind began to pick up growing crazy.

The wind blew around with a fierce intent as it kicked up dust and pushed grass to the side. The wind circulated around Yami and began to flow towards his extended fingers. The wind felt like a soft touch of a woman to Yami's hand as it circulated with a tender feel. Yami enjoyed the sensation as he prepared to fire. Yami's thumb tip cocked down and immediately Yami felt magical energy rush from his core up to his arm and out his finger tip. Wind spun into the shape of a 10cm ball that raced through the air at speeds of twenty meters per second. The ball cut the six meter distance from Yami to the dummy and struck the dummies chest.

The ball of wind hit home and pierced through with a ferocious intent. The ball of wind cut through the dummy like it was paper thin and shot out its back leaving a large hole where the heart would be.

After the spell had been cast, Yami lowered his right hand and began walking over to the dummy to inspect the damage that had been caused. The mage walked over crossing the six meters distance and knelt down to inspect the hole. He ran his finger through the hole and around inspecting it. The piercing was clean and had shot straight out the back. As he looked through the hole he could see three meters behind the ball had continued on before hitting a wooden post and left a small dent. The wind mage chuckled and took steps back until he was six meters again from the dummy. Yami raised his right hand again in order to see if he could sustain the spell. Yami pictured the effects once more as he extends his right arm and formed the gun shape. His brows creased as felt magical energy rising from his core and up through his right arm, down into his hand and into his finger tips.

Yami cocked the tip of his thumb down and fired the wind bullet spell. A second ball of wind twenty centimeters in diameter raced through the air at the same speeds as the last. The ball of wind cut through the air and raced to the dummy closing the distance between Yami and the dummy before half a second could pass. The ball of wind hit the other side of the dummies chest away from the previous hole and like before it pierced right through. The ball of wind drilled through the straw dummy and out its back like before leaving a second gaping hole in the straw dummies chest. Yami laughed in delight as he eyed the large hole as it sat beside its brother. THe results were better than he ever could of expected. He clapped his hands together and cut the flow of mana off deactivating the spell. One spell down four to go. It was time to test out the second offensive spell the one named Gale that would be based off the wind volley.

Yami faced the same dummy he had used his wind bullets on deciding to use it again. The wind mage extended his left arm to full length and flicked his wrist. As he flicked his wrist for added flare Yami clicked his fingers, loudly. As he performed the motion Yami pictured the spell in his head including its intent, effect, image while focusing on magic control and elemental control. His mind was like a steel trap as he focused on all these to perform the new spell. The wind kicked up around the straw dummy in a violent manner. Wind whipped about consuming a two meter diameter area hitting not only the dummy with the two holes but a dummy on either side of it as they were only fifty centimeters apart. The wind turned into a series of deadly wind blades that shredded the dummies . The wind began to slowly dye down revealing the state of the dummies. The three training dummies appeared as if they had been placed in a blender.

Yami looked on at the carnage that had been caused by his latest area of effect spells. His eyes widened as an insane twinkle formed within them. The man parted his lips and began a soft angelic chuckle, but it soon turned dark turning into an insane maniacally laughter of a deranged man. Yami laughed psychotically as he looked at the damage, "Perfection! Oh what a glorious sight! THis spell is everything i wanted it to be. I wonder what would happen if I was to use it on a human being. Would they scream in agony as every part of them is shredded apart. If I combined it with my Wind Volley I could cause even more suffering. Oh how wonderful!" shouted out the psychotic mage as he laughed away. The mage continued on like this for a full five minutes before taking a deep breath. Yami exhaled before inhaling again calming himself down and sealed away his true self. He double checked his surroundings making sure no one was around. Last thing he needed was word getting out about what he truly was like. Yami appeared to most as a handsome, charming, perhaps lazy young man who was a perfect gentleman. But beneath that persona was a sadistic killer without any morals who did as he pleased. Many might ask what caused Yami to become like this, was he abused? No Yami was born like this.

The wind mage after calming down before to turn his focus to his last three spells. The mage decided to skip to his self buff spell first as it was easy enough. The wind mage swiped a hand through the air and called forth the wind. Magic circulated around around the psychotic killer before flowing to his feet. Yami kicked off the ground as he became a speeding blur moving at speeds of six meters per second. His speed had almost tripled. He sped through the training field launching his body towards a tree. As he dashed he began to circulate the idea of another spell the one to change his body in mid action. The mage pictured the spell as the tree grew closer. The mage gave a loud click of his right fingers before a gust of wind wrapped around him and just as he was about to collide with the tree he was pushed to the right of it. He moved around the tree and came to a skidding halt as the two spells died down.

Yami rolled his shoulders smirking at the thought of the two spells. They had performed nicely all that was left was one final spell, the Gust designed to blind his targets. Luckily for Yami it seemed he had some real world targets to test it on as a group of wild monkeys appeared before him screeching and throwing fruit. There was a total of five monkey's. Yami locked onto the primate's and waved his left hand in their direction while thinking of his last spell the gust. He imagined its intent and before he knew it eight meters from him covering a two meter diameter area a gust of wind blue and kicked up dust throwing it into the eyes of the five beasts. The monkey's cried out clutching their eyes as they fell out of trees hitting the ground with a loud thud. Yami locked onto them and raised his right hand while extending his left, flicking a wrist and clicking his fingers. Gust of wind one meter in diameter and another two meters in diameter slammed down on the area of the monkey's one only hitting two while the other hitting three. A torrent of wind blades shredded into the monkey's slicing them up.

Yami slashed his left hand down while forming a gun with his right hand. A ball of wind and a blade of wind cut through the air hitting a monkey each. The blade of wind decapitated the monkey, while the ball of wind pierced through the others skull. Yami then unleashed a volley of wind blades and wind bullets killing the last three monkeys. With the last monkey's dead Yami retrieved his suit jacket and walked back to the guild his training was done.
