I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Shaman suddenly shot up from her bed and held her chest. Elysia was also woken up by the sudden pull on her blanket.

"Huh? What's wrong sweetie~ it's still early morning." Elysia was rubbing her eyes trying to see what was wrong.

"I- I'm okay. I was just in my memories and the shock in the dream seems to have startled me awake." As soon as Shaman woke up, the sudden shock she suddenly felt from seeing the words stardust seemingly brought her out of the memory.

"Oh what did you see?" Elysia sat up and leaned on Shaman's shoulder half asleep.

"I saw my parents and I was reciting a scripture to activate my innate element." Shaman checked her system to see if anything was out of place.

"Ohh, so do you have the element now or do you also have to recite it?" Elysia was rather curious about the memory, especially about Shaman's parents who would hopefully be her future mother and father in law.

"Rea told me I have to recite it, but damn these memories feel so real." Shaman had calmed down, but unfortunately she was now wide awake so getting a bit of extra sleep was not going to happen.

"I wonder if I could have a dream like that." Elysia's imagination wandered for a moment and drool leaked from her mouth.

"Oi, you have me right here if you want to try anything." Shaman knew exactly what Elysia was thinking, especially after last night.

"Oh yeah, well how about some early morning action to start our day." Elysia already felt herself getting into the mood.

*sigh* "Only a quick one." Shaman saw no harm and thought it would be a good way to spend some of the extra time they have in the morning.

"Yes!" Elysia then pulled Shaman back down in the bed.

<20 minutes later>

Elysia and Shaman got dressed into their casual clothes from yesterday, but Elysia had to go get a new pair of stockings from the maid who was thankfully awake and made sure to get a few extra pairs.

"Hehe~." Elysia was in a great mood and was sliding around on the kitchen tiles while waiting for Shaman.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself." Shaman came out of the bathroom and instead of her usual hair down, she had actually tied it up like she did in the memory.

"Damn, you're looking more like a mother by the day." Elysia quite enjoyed the new hairstyle and could not stop admiring it.

"Aha, thanks. This is what my hair was like when I was little and I thought to try it." Shaman did a slow spin to show off all the angles and was quite happy with Elysia's reaction.

"Ooo, well I like it a lot." Elysia quickly went to Shaman's side and hugged her arm.

"Good, now let's find a space to activate this new element of mine." Shaman was glad that the system preserved the memory so she did not need to memorise what was on the script.

"I can't wait to see, you haven't actually told me what it is." Elysia had been left in the dark on what the element was and was rather excited to find out.

"I never told you? Well I guess it now has to be a surprise."

Shaman and Elysia then walked out of their room looking for a hall or a space where they can be alone.

*

After getting directions from a maid, Shaman and Elysia found themselves in a training hall. There was various equipment and dummy soldiers. Shaman was also able to feel that the room was heavily reinforced with magic, meaning they don't need to hold back.

"This should do, now Elysia I want you to stand back." Shaman didn't know if anything would happen if Elysia stayed close, but would rather be safe than sorry.

Elysia nodded and sat down on a bench that was by the exit.

'Okay now I just need to recite it.' Thinking about the memory, an image of what was on the script appeared in her mind and she began to read it out loud.

"To all my ancestors and the people of the fox race. I hereby declare my loyalty to my race and my conviction to use my power for the good of the people. I call for the legendary kitsune Akrone to bestow power upon thy vassal. Please accept this pledge, for I shall follow the way of the kitsune and strive to become stronger. Akrone, Please grant me the power to fulfil these duties." Although the script wasn't there Shaman could already feel the same sensation as she did when in the memory.

A purple light started to glow on Shaman's chest and Elysia, who was watching, stood up, ready to jump in if it looked like anything had gone wrong.

[Stardust element acquired]

A system message appeared in front of Shaman and soon after the glow in her chest died down.

Getting down on one knee, Shaman held her hand to her chest, still feeling a lingering effect from the light.

"Shaman?" Elysia was concerned, but assumed Shaman was okay since it looked like she wasn't in pain.

"Yes I'm fine. Just like I described earlier, that feeling I got when in the dream was a little intense." Shaman stood up feeling much better and opened her system.

[Elements]

Wind - Tier 4

Fire - Tier 4

Water - tier 4

Ice - tier 4

Stardust - tier 5

"Oh? It's already tier 5." Shaman was rather surprised that it started at tier 5, but guessed it was the fact that it was her innate element.

"Soooo, what is it?" Elysia had slowly walked up behind Shaman, itching to find out what it was.

"I'm not entirely sure what I can do, so let's find out." Shaman knew that she was able to conceal herself with it from when she saw Freja in her memories.

"Mhn." Elysia nodded and stepped backwards waiting in anticipation.

Shaman stood up and allowed mana to flow through her body.

Thinking about the element, soon purple and blue dust started to rise from the ground. The dust then swirled around Shaman, the space between the dust particles was so dark, it reminded her of the darkness of space. The shimmering dust particles were reminiscent of stars in the night sky and whenever the particles swirled, images of galaxies formed. The sight was so surreal, no one would guess it was made of tiny specs of dust.

Elysia was amazed by the sight and felt like the stars were in front of her.

Shaman seeing this effect decided to try something fun and so she lifted her hands up and sent the dust to the ceiling.

Covering the entire ceiling with the dust, Shaman had created a mini night sky within the training hall.

"Wow." Both Shaman and Elysia were in awe of what Shaman had created. However, it was draining her mana, so unfortunately she needed to take down the sky she created.

The dust covering the ceiling then stopped moving, breaking the illusion of the sky.

Shaman knelt back down as the mana expenditure had exhausted her. She still wasn't used to her new element and still had much to learn about how to efficiently wield it.

Elysia quickly went to Shaman's side to make sure nothing serious had happened.

"That was amazing." Shaman couldn't believe such an element existed. It felt like a bit of a budget space element, but nonetheless she was happy with it.

"I would say do it again, but it seems like that took a lot of mana to do." Elysia helped Shaman lean on her and moved towards the bench so Shaman could sit down.

"It did not take all of it, but it used a lot at once which I was not ready for." Shaman looked at her system and only about a third of it was consumed, but due to it all being spent at once it took the wind out of her.

"Sheesh that's a lot. Don't you have about 8000 points of mana?" Elysia was able to see Shaman's status and was surprised about the amount that was taken.

"Yes I do and I still need to use some more to figure out what exactly this element can do." Shaman still had no idea how it worked and needed to play around with her new capabilities.

"Did you want me to go get anything then?" Elysia wanted to be helpful rather than watch despite the beautiful view.

"Can you go get Clara and Silver? I want them to be here so we can have a group training session and test it out against an opponent." Shaman thought it would be a good idea for everyone to come as it would hopefully give her a few ideas on how to apply her new element while also allowing Silver to get some more fighting experience.

"Sure." Elysia nodded and left the training hall.

'Now let's have a look at the description.' Shaman hoped by looking at the element through the system, it would give some hints to how to use it

[Stardust]

[An element that has the power of space and illusions. Although not know for its offensive capabilities it allows the user to manipulate the vision of those around them and to traverse through a separate space]

'Oh I see, so I can use it like my spatial rift, but it has its own separate domain and can only be entered through the portals I create.' Shaman took a guess at what the separate space meant. If she was right, it could mean she had her own storage domain and a space she could use for escaping.

'I can also create illusions, but how does one even do that, definitely gonna need to test that on someone.' Shaman could not quite grasp how she would create an illusion, but judging from how she made the sky, it might be a similar process.

'Alright, now that I have somewhat of an idea, let's play around a bit.' Shaman recovered and stood up from the bench.

Entering the middle of the hall again, Shaman once again began to manipulate the dust around her.
