Chapter 570 Flight

The captain of the Angel Legionnaire helped me to go to where the practice area for the Flight ability is held. Just like in the past timeline, nothing much has changed except for the officer who is in charge of helping the players learn to fly which is the retired Elder General of the Angel Legionnaire and the Main Combat Medic of all the existing squadrons that is o, Alynna. In the next few months, she will be replaced by her successor and her only daughter Ymel and since this patch was supposed to happen at a later date, during the past timeline, Ymel is already the one doing the job.

But since it happened much earlier, it is clear that Alynna is still the one who will be teaching Flight Ability to me.

"We are here. Our general will be conducting the operation and help you get the ability to fly in the sky and manifest your wings even if you are not an angel like us. If you have a fear of heights, then please back out immediately. We can't afford to force someone who is afraid of heights to partake in this," the captain reminded me to ensure that no one will collapse due to their fear of heights.

,m "No, I am good. Thanks for the warning though."

"Well, since you are clear. Let me introduce you to our Elder General of the Angel Legionnaire. She is a veteran and has seen plenty of stuff in her life, along with countless wars, and thousands of battles."

He led me to an open training ground that is made of solid clouds. It's not made of clouds that would dissipate immediately but a cloud that would remain even with touched and bounces like foam. It is done this way to ensure that the one who practices flying will fall down to the fluffy clouds in case they fail to control their balance in the air or they are still learning the ropes of flying which would then release mistakes. It's a bit smaller right now which means the one in the past timeline was already expanded as the training grounds would be much bigger than what it was today.

On the training ground, is a fully armored angel with only her head that isn't covered with any metal. Due to her armor, she looked really big and bulky. Might be the fact that she is tall that made her somewhat big in my eyes. At the moment, she is teaching children about flying which is the first lesson most angels learned first to ensure their lives will become easier. Of course, this person is none other than Alynna the Elder General, and the main definition of Combat Medic.

"General! I have brought one of the Pioneers. He is the earlier to come to our aid and is here to learn Flight."

When Alynna heard the captain's call, she instructed the kids to continue what they are doing as she approaches us, with her armor clanking every step she makes. I have not seen her in the past timeline without a helmet even after retirement so seeing her without one made me a bit startled seeing how young she looked even though she was rumored to be 70 already. If we ignore the rumor that she is 70, when you look at her face, she looks like she is still in her 30s. A MILF if you would say.

"Where are the others? I thought I would be teaching a lot of them?" Alynna looked around only to see me and nobody else.

"He is the earliest to arrive to respond to our SOS and one of the pioneers chosen by the goddess Titania. I already confirmed him to be one of them so no need to worry."

"I see. What's your name, boy?"

"Bladeheart."

"I see. I am Alynna but most of the people here call me General. You can also call me General if you wanted to but if you are not that comfortable with formalities, just call me Alynna just fine. Since you are a pioneer and you are going to be helping us with our problem, we will be giving a free tutorial on how to fly like an angel like us even though you guys don't have wings. If you don't have wings, that does not mean you will not be able to fly and I mean it literally. Now, come here and let me check your back."

The drill is something I already memorized before so I didn't hesitate and showed my back to her.

She put her fingers on my back and started to infuse mana on it. While she was doing that, I also circulate my mana around and let it blend with my mana, allowing it to function without it getting wild for no apparent reason. After a while, foreign energy flows around me. It was quick and hot but it didn't hurt and it feels good.

"I have inserted the mana in your body that would help in generating the ability of flight to your body. Now, try to visualize wings coming out from your back. It doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it was a wing and big enough to carry you off from the ground."

Since I am already familiar with it, I didn't waste my time and visualize the wings forming on my back. It was not hard since I have already done this before. The General and the captain were so surprised when they saw my back sprout out holographic wings. It looks identical to real wings but it was made out of mana that seems to adapt like a hologram, making it look like it was there the whole time.

"Woah, that was fast. I didn't expect you to immediately do that. I heard humans have a hard time visualizing stuff. Did our intel about you guys wrong all along?"

"Nah, perhaps I found it a little bit easy. They say I am a fast learner so perhaps that was the main reason indeed."

"Hmm, that might be possible but can you really do fly high up in the sky? Let's see how you shall fare. After all, visualizing and actual flight is both different things. Let's see how you do."

Alynna proceeded to relay how to properly fly and control my new wings to properly fly. Although I don't need to listen to it anymore, I continue to listen to her instructions in case some new knowledge might improve how to fly. Even if it was short distances, flying is still something that is quite different than before.

"Alright, flap your wings slowly but surely. You don't want to flap them too fast or else you will fail and you won't be able to properly balance yourself. It's going to be the worse if that happens while you are in the middle of flying."

With the instruction in mind, I slowly flap my wings and started to properly flap them. They are different than the wings I have in the past timeline but these wings are something I decided to visualize to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

After flapping a bit more, I start to increase the flapping action with my wings and it didn't take that long for me to fly up in the air. The feeling of flight is back again and to make sure that I act like I am still a newbie, I proceeded to fall a bit, to make it a bit more believable.

I continue to fly while flapping my wings. Soon enough I decided to start moving around the air while I am still flying. Looking at the reactions of the two, I can see that they didn't expect to easily fly like I am a real pro at this.

Once I finished moving around, I slowly landed on the clouds and returned to the two who are still shocked.

"Are you sure you are a newbie or not? The way you fly just now felt like you are flying for a long time and you have already perfected it. Are you sure you are not practicing flying on your own?" Alynna is looking confused at what happened.

"What do you mean to practice? How can I practice flying if I am a human? I don't know how to fly and even if we had the spell [Levitate], that skill is not something you would call flying at all. Perhaps this was just something that I was adept at without knowing."

Novel Top1.OR G

Alynna can only shake her head. After all, for all the years she is teaching how to fly, this is the first time someone else she taught for a few minutes only managed to fly without difficulties.

She continues to monitor how I fly and takes notes while I am flying. She still can't believe I was able to fly like it was indeed something I always do despite the fact I just learned it today. As much as I want to say the truth to her, it won't work as she does not know I came from the past. Telling her would never work.

"Alright. My final lesson has come to an end. As much as this lesson should take much longer, I didn't expect you to be this fast though. But anyway, now that you have learned the secret ability that everyone visiting the Luminous Continent should learn to access different things, I think it is indeed time for you to finish the request. The sooner it is done, the better.
