THE DEUS FAMILY RESIDENCE


[ P H O T O G R A P H Y ]

The Deus family residence currently owned by Pricillia Deus. It is a large mansion made out of beautiful marble stone with of course, no finances spared when it comes to the details on the exterior nor the interior of the building. Made years ago by Pricillia's father, Archred Deus, this residence has been abandoned after the family moved from the land of snow to the land of tea. With years that passed, the abandoned mansion has been restored and worked on many time by the civilians of the snow village and has been many things, such as a police building, a private hospital, a library of the village and a village theater, which was also the case when Pricillia moved back into the village and she cast  the actors and actresses out of the theater so she could live there. The mansion is two stories but looks quite big. In fact, seconds in height only to the village tower.

Even the goddess of snow had to polish her own abilities. Pricillia Deus was a skilled manipulator and used people as puppets, much like how she used her own puppets in her combats, however, when she could no longer rely on her puppets, she would have to rely on her own skills of combat. To polish these skills, she had to train & she had a person she could train with - the personal maid of the Deus household, Katherine was more than willing to help Pricillia with her training. Pricillia knew exactly which technique she wanted to start training, after Katherine gave her out the possibilities, that is. Pricillia was more of a practical combatian. She didn't want her possibilities in combat to be limited to flashy, yet, powerful techniques as at most cases, techniques from that magnitude were too exhausting for the user and had drawbacks, some of these drawbacks, perhaps even involving the technique's success rate in general. Weak techniques, as well as weak weapons could become a fearsome weapon in the hands of the right user and Pricillia wanted to accomplish exactly that by training the Liquid Grip water release technique. It was a low rank technique and while it wasn't a technique that had a lot of strike force, it could be used to momentarily restrain opponents, simply use the water as a source to grip, perhaps, objects of a sort or whatever Pricillia's imagination could come up with.

Katherine had already told Pricillia what the handseals for the technique were before she started training it and now, the light-purple haired woman was standing on top of the water using the water walking technique and was waiting for Pricillia to make some process with her training. Katherine of course was more than familiar with the technique her one and only student was about to practice on her and was ready to counter it, giving Pricillia a hard time training the technique whatsoever. The woman's logic was the following - If Pricillia wanted to truly master a technique, she would have to go through a number of steps. The first step would be to actually start training the technique and to master it in shape, speed, size and so on. The second step would be to try and put it to practical usage. That practical usage would of course involve wrapping the liquid grippers around Katherine, managing to hold her down with the force of the water she was controlling and so on and  the final step in Katherine's book, which was also, the hardest one was to put the technique in use in an actual battle against Katherine. Of course, the experienced kunoichi would go easy on her student but that would go as far as not killing her. Just like with previous trainings the two of them had, Pricillia was at a great risk of being injured and loosing significant amounts of blood.

That would come later though as now, Pricillia would have to first manage to create the liquid grippers. She performed the handseals of the technique after she stepped on top of the water surface. The technique required a water source and the swimming pool inside her mansion provided her with the perfect water source. Of course, in battle, Pricillia would only rely on this technique if there was a water source nearby, but the bigger the arsenal of techniques, the more possibilities she had in different situations. She had to note the lack of water source all the time as a potential problem though. Pricillia was a natural when it came to training. She learned fast how to do a certain thing but it took her a long while to put it in use. As she performed the handseals and concentrated her chakra on top of the water surface, Pricillia instantly managed to see how a water bubble appeared on top of the area where she was concentrating her chakra. From that point, Pricillia began increasing the amount of chakra slowly. She processed a lot of thoughts through her mind while she tried to command the water bubble to grow. The technique didn't require her to grow a bubble on top of the water surface and Pricillia was aware of that, however, the silver haired goddess of snow knew something when it came to creative thinking. If she grew a bubble, all she would have to do next would be to manipulate its shape and to extend it as much as she needed to before she was satisfied with the outcome.

Now that Pricillia had a functioning water bubble, all she had to do left was to manipulate its shape as she found suitable. The bubble was already full of her flowing chakra and that would make it a lot easier for her to manipulate the shape and the size. She reached out with her right hand, extending it towards the water bubble. At first, she would like to think that she was manually changing the shape of the bubble while in reality, all of it happened inside her mind which sent signals to the chakra that was inside the bubble. Of course, doing what she did what her hand did help her focus, so she continued doing so. From a bubble, Pricillia began slowly extending it upwards, making sure that the roots of the bubble were still inside the water. The bubble went as high as it could before it would begin getting stretched. Of course, that was exactly what Pricillia wanted to achieve - to stretch the bubble upwards and to create a tentacle like gripper which she would be using to capture Katherine later on. The water managed to get extended a foot before the bubble popped and disappeared. A foot was a foot and it was most certainly more than nothing, so Pricillia brought her hopes up about the technique. More than she wanted to train the technique, she wanted to prove herself in-front of Katherine and to show her that she was more than capable of mastering a technique with that level of difficulty.

Her second attempt was a lot more successful than her first. This time, she managed to form the bubble a lot faster and to extend it a bit more than before as now, she managed to extend it three feet. She was getting the hang of the technique and that was exactly what she wanted; however, as she was getting the hang of what she thought to be the technique, Katherine spoke.

"You are aware that you will have to extend these grippers from your hands, are you not?" Katherine asked, making Pricillia think for a moment. The silver haired girl, as mentioned above, knew something, a lot, actually, about creativity and she nodded. She knew that creating a bubble of water was too time consuming and in battle, she would most likely not be able to do that, however, she has taken it as a basic to the training and she was about to show Katherine exactly what she had in mind. Pricillia began performing the handseals for the technique for a third time. The moment she was done performing the handseals for the technique, she rapidly swung her right hand to the right. She kept her palm open and with that swing, Pricillia also managed to command a small amount of water to form a small sized bubble which would place itself an inch before her palm, being kept there by her chakra. A second swing of her right hand followed, this time, to the left. With this swing, Pricillia wanted to forcibly make the water bubble extend itself to the left as she used the fact that she was keeping it stuck there with her chakra, plus the speed of the swing. The bubble managed  to extend itself an inch and it was then when Pricillia would start increasing the amounts of chakra she was putting to the whole bubble. Unlike the way it was with her previous attempts, this time, Pricillia was a lot closer to the bubble and could force a way bigger amount of chakra into it for lesser periods of time than before.

Needless to say, the bubble turned into a fine line which managed to extend itself all the way to Katherine who suddenly realized that this time, she was going to be skipping a couple of steps with the training as Pricillia had already gotten the hang of the technique. With that speed and force, the water gripper would wrap itself around Katherine and restrain her with ease. The shape was also decent and the speed Pricillia had creating it was also on a nice level. All that was left was a test in combat and Katherine was going to do just that. Katherine was dressed poorly, and by that, I mean that she was dressed in a way which would be called quite appealing by male auditory, if such existed and was around. She wore clothes she casually wore for swimming & clothes that were quite comfortable to her, allowing her as much ease of movements as she would have if she were completely naked. With a swift movement, Katherine dodged the line of water. Of course, that was a natural thing as the gripper was not originally intended to capture her and even less so to predict a movement of hers.

Needless to say, Pricillia instantly noticed  that a movement from Katherine's side meant that parts from the training were skipped and that they were about to engage into combat. Katherine was aggressive and ruthless when it came to sharpening Pricillia's skills so Pricillia had to perform the smartest move that would require her least reaction time. Katherine was fast. Pricillia instantly let go of the water grip technique as it was practically useless to her now. In less than a few seconds, Pricillia saw Katherine's Deus household tattoo inches away from her face. Katherine was about to shoulder-tackle the girl and Pricillia had to react fast. She began to think about the techniques she had in her arsenal which she could use, but instead of finding a technique she could use, she found a technique which she wanted to stop using. She also negated the water walking technique, managing to sink almost right on time before her face would meet Katherine's shoulder. In an addition to that, she managed to grab the woman's arm as she began sinking down underwater. Katherine was surprised by the sudden action as she didn't quite expect exactly that action so she wasn't prepared to be dragged down underwater. Perhaps, reacting on impulse was a good choice Pricillia made. 

Katherine was physically strong. She managed to almost instantly struggle her ways out of Pricillia's grip when she was brought down underwater and with a kick to the stomach of the silver haired goddess, managed to push her away. Pricillia took a gasp for breath while she saw how Katherine began swimming her way back above the water surface. It was then when Pricillia allowed a smirk to appear on her face. Her right hand was shaped in a fist as if she was holding something. She pulled her hand down and intercepted Katherine's action. She failed to swim up, or at least failed to do so before Pricillia allowed her to. Pricillia also swam up. She was not hurt from the kick to the stomach as she herself just used it as a decoy to distance herself from Katherine as well. When they both swam up, Katherine looked at Pricillia. Then, she looked at her own right arm. The same arm Pricillia grabbed as she tried  to sink her down was now tied with a line of water which was gripped tight around her wrist.

"You used yourself as bait to my attack so you could drag my hand underwater where you would have easier access to water and definite speed advantage when it comes to performing a water technique..." Katherine made a short pause as she felt how the grip of Pricillia's technique loosened - the silver haired girl was letting go of the technique. She still had a smile on her face - a smile which said 'I got you.' Katherine nodded as the water binds fell of her wrists and brought a smile up her own face. "Shrewd."

For the training of their next technique, Pricillia and Katherine would need the assistance of a medic & of course the Deus family residence had more than one member of the personal which was familiar with first aid. They would need a medic because the next technique would be dealing with explosions and either Pricillia or Katherine, or perhaps, even both would most definitely end up being injured by a technique such as that. The healing duties would be taken by Marie Gordon - the life guard of the pool are which also happened to know something about medical techniques and was also the one who introduced the two females to the technique they were going to be training. Of course, the one training the technique would be Pricillia as she would still be aiming to follow the three steps that were always a case when it came to training under Katherine's lead. First was the shape of the technique, the concentration, the basics. The second was using it to form an actual attack, to sharpen all dull parts of the technique, to increase the precision and to understand all possible flaws of the technique. The third part, as always was to put the technique in use in an actual battle. Katherine looked at Pricillia with a questioning expression on her face. That expression was well known to the silver haired girl as she has trained many, many techniques like that and that expression was asking her one thing and one thing only - 'Are you ready?' 

Pricillia nodded and witnessed how Katherine made a jump back, distancing herself from Pricillia in the swimming pool. They were both standing on top of the water surface, Marie Gordon, the life guard, standing closer to Pricillia in case she made a mistake while performing the technique and required first aid. Marie's job there was to do that, but also, to chant the handseals which Pricillia would have to perform so she could learn them faster. The moment Marie began chanting the handseals, Pricillia began folding them precisely. After the few handseals were over, Pricillia began depending on her own knowledge about the technique - knowledge, which she acquired from Marie earlier. The technique had a few components. The first component was to create a ball of water & this much, Pricillia knew exactly how to do. She has created a ball of water with her previous training when she trained the water grip technique and now, she simply did the same. As Marie has instructed her, the ball had to be with the size of a fist so Pricillia did just that. She began shaping a small amount of water into a small sphere. A bubble like sphere, in fact and began filling the hollow part of the bubble. She added to the chakra inside and added while she concentrated her chakra and began lifting the bubble in the air. 

As the bubble was about three feet in the air, kept there by Pricillia's chakra alone, it was time for the silver haired girl to actually try and see if what she has been on the right tracks with what she has been doing so far. Of course, it was still her first attempt and a failure wouldn't mean that much to her as she still had the whole day in-front of her, however, if she managed to go a step further with her first attempt, that would still be a plus for her. She had no problem moving and lifting the water bubble from the ground whatsoever. She already had skills doing that as she had already trained the liquid drip technique. The water bubble was in the air in-front of her and it was then when Pricillia looked at the two females that were in the swimming pool area with her. Katherine was sitting on top of the water surface approximately a fifty-five feet away and Marie was standing about five feet away from her. Pricillia's eyes met the eyes of the swimming pool life-guard and found out that she was not at threat. The woman simply shook her head in a manner telling Pricillia that she was not going to blow anything up but the bubble. Pricillia sighed. She had to approach the technique in a different way. She let the chakra which she was using to hold the bubble in the air. Pricillia closed her eyes. She had to think big. She had to think explosion.

And then it came to her, as bright as day. She knew exactly what she needed. She began performing the handseals for the technique once again, still keeping her eyes shut. She felt how the water gently trembled as the chakra she has been releasing from the tip of her feet hit the bottom of the pool and supplied Pricillia with the much needed balance she used to keep herself above the water surface. After Pricillia was done with the handseals, she concentrated her chakra, however, this time, her concentration wasn't upon the water. No, not yet. For starters, her concentration was in the air. She imagined how her chakra wrapped itself around a large amount of air - an amount of air about three times the size of her own head and she formed that air in a perfect sphere that was right in-front of her. Then, Pricillia knew to take that air underwater. Surrounding the air with chakra, she wouldn't allow it to simply get above the water surface and to disappear - no. She was forcing the huge air bubble down and once she had the perfect sphere of air underwater, she began with the second part of her plan. She created a second bubble inside of her mind - a bubble that surrounded the first one and a bubble that was made purely out of water.

The bubble of air was inside of the bubble of water and after that was over with, Pricillia started to pressure the second bubble around the first bubble. Water tends to be heavier than air and had a higher pressure value than it. It was much like how a balloon would feel like if it was pressured by another balloon, equally from all sides. Normally, the balloon, or in this case, the bubble would explode, however, Pricillia's chakra was doing what was necessary for the combustion of the air bubble to be prevented. With each second, Pricillia managed to shrink both bubbles more and more until Pricillia managed to shrink them both to the size of her own head. From there, she would have to add additional levels of chakra. More and more chakra, creating more and more bubbles around the two bubbles, pressuring them down and down and down until she finally managed to pressure them all enough to the size of her fist. Pricillia knew that she wasn't done, even though the sphere was going to explode if it got infused with oxygen. She did not want that, so she added another layer of chakra around the whole explosive water sphere - a layer of chakra that would allow her to detonate it whenever she wanted.

It was then when Pricillia took the sphere above the water surface as she raised it from underwater. She lifted it high in the air so it would hardly make contact with any of the females even if it succeeded exploding which was also what followed. Given that the water sphere was close to the ceiling, Pricillia couldn't help but notice the tiny shrapnel holes on the ceiling. Marie nodded. That was the full power potential of the technique & it was an agreement from all three sides of the group when they decided to skip the final step of the training which was the combat step. Of course, still came the second step and it took Pricillia a number of attempts to manage creating the water sphere faster & another couple of attempts to be able to bring down three of them at once for the speed it would take her to bring out one but eventually, that happened as well.

Pricillia looked at her mentor and received a nod.
