Demonic Halo [Momo, Ranma]

The next part was the hardest one yet… for now that he could seal an object inside of this honey-ball, he needed to unseal it. Remember, Ranma… just like a key. The seal was just the lock you put on four-eyes, your Reiryoku was going to be the key that’d unlock it again.

You just had to… stick the key in. Y’know, like you stuck it in Erica a few nights ago- yes, just like that… he just needed to grasp the feel for it. He was still going at the whole unlocking part blindly, but he knew deep inside – once he cracked the code, all other times would run smoothly.

And with his Reiryoku flowing out, faint and invisible, the honey-ball reopened itself like a budding flower blooming. The rings around it looked like yellow light donuts expanding, suddenly turning into a burst of Reishi releasing the object inside.

Aaaaaaaaaand… four-eyes was intact! Oh my God, he was intact! “… Yes- YES YES YES!!! I DID IT!” Ranma’s jubilation hit a fever ceiling, seeing him fly up in the air in a celebratory fistbump to the sky, “MY FIRST SEAL! FUCK YEAAAAH!!!”

Offering a round of applause for him as he completed his task, Momo would smile at her student. “Excellent work! You managed to pull that off perfectly and now have all the know-how you need to make any seal you wish. There isn’t much more I can add to the topic besides advising you to simply get creative and experiment. That goes for barriers as well, thinking about it but I must say that you’ve made great progress already today. I have one more skill to teach you…but I think that you could do with a break first, hmm?”

Starting to head back inside, she’d say, glancing over her shoulder at him. “Let’s have some tea first before we go any further as it does take quite a lot of energy to handle barriers and seals to begin with. Once we’ve relaxed for a bit, I’ll show you how to cast spells where you utter the spell names afterwards rather than before. Ninja Kido if you like.”
