novelDifferences Among Merumi's Forms
| ← Ch.331 | Ch.333 → |
After the pink light faded, everyone saw Merumi's human form.
The superior part of her body wasn't different from her mermaid form at first sight, but for the first time, the lower part of her body was like a human with fair-skinned legs and without any tail on her back.
Seeing Merumi's human form, Mercer fainted due to the shock because there weren't any clothes on Merumi's body after her transformation and he was unable to endure seeing the naked body of his girlfriend for the first time.
The rest were shocked by the fact that Merumi was completely naked after transformation, but that was only logical because the clothes wouldn't appear in her body just because she changed to human form.
Despite the reactions of the others, Merumi didn't feel that it was anything bad with her current state while she was looking at the changes of her body.
She liked her human form and wanted to ask Mercer for his opinion, but at that moment she found that Mercer had fainted.
"Mercer, what happened?"
Merumi was shocked seeing Mercer in an unconscious state and tried to walk towards him, but after the first step, Merumi fell to the ground.
"Why can't I walk like before?"
Merumi was shocked by her lack of balance since she didn't have any problem to walk in her battle form. She was so shocked by her lack of ability to walk normally that she didn't notice that she could talk with her normal voice again.
"Your battle form is more stable because of your mermaid tail, so you need to get used to walking in this body, but before that..."
Yale couldn't let Merumi continue walking naked for the whole ship even though there wasn't any pervert there and Merumi was still a little girl, so he thought about who could teach her some human common sense.
"Aizu, help her to put on some clothes and teach her more about how humans act."
If Yale needed to think about the most normal girl on the ship, that was Aizu without any doubt.
Nurvey had a serious lack of social skills, Julie was a merchant that differed too much from normal, Lar was a maniac of the sword, and Wyba was still too young and inexperienced as being a human to teach others.
The others were still alright, but since Serka was groomed by a noble clan, and Ange was too benevolent, Aizu was the most normal person to depend on teaching Merumi.
After all, the cultures of mermaids and humans were too different, and since she had a human body she should act as a human; it was the same as when Wyba took human form for the first time, and she felt alright even without clothes.
As for making a guy teach her, Yale discarded that directly since Merumi was the girlfriend of Mercer and he thought that wouldn't be appropriate having another male in charge of teaching her. Moreover, Yale felt that Merumi would also feel better if the one teaching her was a girl.
Aizu nodded after hearing Yale and neared Merumi before wrapping her body with a large piece of cloth.
"Come with me. I will teach you a bit."
Aizu helped Merumi to stand up and went to Aizu's room to give help her dress up and teach her some human common sense.
After half an hour, Mercer woke up; the shock he received was far too big. It wasn't like if he had never seen a naked girl before because he lived with Aizu and Lar and since Mercer was just a kid, they didn't bother with Mercer seeing them at all. However, he considered that Aizu and Lar were like his big sisters, so there was a big difference between seeing them and the girl he loved.
"Where is Merumi?"
After waking up, Mercer didn't find Merumi at any place, so he decided to ask; he feared that Merumi was angry with him for losing the consciousness after seeing her body.
"She is with Aizu, who is giving her some clothes and teaching her a bit of common sense before coming out. It will be a problem if you faint each time you see Merumi."
Mercer blushed while remembering the previous scene and thought that his master was right.
Mercer didn't have time to ask anything else before Merumi and Aizu returned to the deck; Merumi still seemed to have some difficulties to walk correctly, but at least she didn't fall again.
Seeing Merumi's new look with human clothes, Mercer almost fainted again because she was too cute; even Yale had to admit that Aizu had done a good job dressing up Merumi.
In fact, Aizu played with Merumi like if she was dressing up a doll, so she enjoyed it a lot. Of course, Merumi also liked seeing herself in different kinds of clothing after Aizu started to work, so she didn't resist at all.
"Mercer, you are alright? You scared me when you fainted."
Merumi advanced slowly towards Mercer, who was still in awe admiring Merumi's new look and then hugged him.
"Sorry, you are so pretty that my mind wasn't able to endure it."
Mercer caressed Merumi's pink hair while speaking. That pink hair was the only feature of Merumi that remained the same in her three forms.
"You two can continue with that in private."
Hearing Yale's voice, the two of them separated and blushed. It wasn't like Yale disliked seeing the two of them hugged together, but he felt that it would be enough time for that later once the ship started moving again.
"Merumi, you probably already noticed it, but the three forms of your bloodline had different kinds of abilities, you must learn to switch among them correctly to maximize your effectivity in battle."
Merumi's forms were different from Yale's half beast form were both had the same prowess.
Merumi's mermaid form had an advantage at swimming speed and illusions, being that the only form in which she could use Mesmerizing Voice.
The battle form was still quite good under the water but inferior to the mermaid form. However, in terms of physical strength and battle prowess, it was the highest of the three forms. Moreover, it was the form that had the highest compatibility with the Water Law.
As for her human form, under the water wasn't better than a human who could breathe under the water and her affinity to water was also at the same level as a human with a perfect grade affinity. Furthermore, her physical strength was even weaker than in her mermaid form, and in that form, Merumi didn't possess any special skill at all.
Although the human form seemed useless compared to the other two, it had an important advantage besides the fact that was the only form in which Merumi could have children with Mercer.
That advantage was adaptability. Humans had a huge degree of adaptability and weren't limited like some other species in a specific field even if they also lacked huge advantages.
In her other two forms, Merumi could only train correctly in the Water Law, and her chances of obtaining a bit of insight into something else was almost inexistent.
However, that limitation didn't exist in her human form, so as long as she tried hard, she could train other laws after turning strong enough.
Yale had noticed Merumi's changes with his Divine Eyes, but Merumi also knew about the changes in her own body even if no one told her about it.
"So, you noticed it."
Seeing Merumi's face, Yale understood that Merumi had also noticed about those changes.
"Merumi, do you want to become my disciple?"
Merumi was Mercer's lover, she had huge potential and Merumi was the result of the hopes of Yale's past life friend, so he felt that it would be good for taking her as a disciple.
"Merumi pays respects to master."
Merumi accepted immediately while bowing to Yale; it seemed like if she was already prepared for that situation which was probably something that Aizu taught her.
"Very well. Aizu, since you seem to be already quite close to her, you are in charge of helping her when training."
Yale wasn't neglecting his students, but he couldn't always be training with them, so after guiding them, they would train alone or with others.
Mercer was a good example as he had trained with others to improve himself. Moreover, having different people to train was also good for the battle experience.
Aizu accepted immediately and left with Merumi and Mercer, and the latter was especially happy that Merumi had also become Yale's disciple.
"Yale, you are mean... Why trusting Aizu so much instead of me?"
Lar was quite frustrated that Yale had relied on Aizu two times and he didn't even ask Lar to do anything.
"You are useless to help Merumi. Her style of battle is more similar to Aizu based on long-range attacks, so she is better to help her."
Lar was someone who relied mainly on put sword attacks in battle, and she was negligent in long-range battles.
That wasn't Lar's fault since everyone had a different style of battle. Lar was mainly focused in use swordsmanship and Battle Skills, Aizu in pure magic spells and Yale was focused on Combined Skills and Law Skills.
Merumi had never used a weapon before, and she always specialized in long-range battle, so Aizu was the best to help her.
