When Yale thought about hiding them, they disappeared before he used Shape Shift.
Yale was happy when he noticed that, even if he hid that happiness from Aiwai and Wyba. The fact he could summon and hide the wings at will without using Shape Shift meant that his control of the Frost Winged Wolf Bloodline was far better than before.
At that moment, Yale didn't feel anything strange with his wings; he felt that they were part of his body and will appear whenever he wished, it was the opposite feeling he had when he merely created useless wings with Shape Shift.
Yale also felt better with his wolf tail and ears, but he didn't feel them as normal as he felt the wings. He guessed that if he also got completely used to them, he would be able to switch between human form and half-beast form at will without needing Shape Shift.
Yale always felt strange that he as a human who had perfectly integrated with a beast bloodline was unable to transform into a half-beast at will without the need of external skills. However, he was wrong; it wasn't that he couldn't do it, the true reason was that he didn't have enough good control of the bloodline to be able to do it.
Another reason for Yale's happiness was that he had also noticed a change in Bloodline Force that morning. Before, the skill just increased the Strength and the Agility, but after Yale improved his control of the bloodline, it also added Vitality to the boosts.
Sadly, the bloodline was still too weak to let Bloodline Force had any useful effect on the current Yale, Wyba needed to improve more in order to strengthen the bloodline before Yale could use Bloodline Force well.
That day, thanks to his big improvement in exchange of his pride, Yale was able to fly far better than before, but he still felt that he lacked a bit more to reach the level he had in the premonition.
Aiwai was pleased with Yale's improvement, and Wyba was surprised; she had been enticed to compete with her big brother to see who would finish first, but she saw that her big brother held a lot of advantage compared to her.
"You understand it, Wyba? Yale started in disadvantage compared to you, but with his effort, he already has an advantage towards you."
Aiwai really felt that Yale managed to reach that point with his effort, he had put a lot of effort to endure the embarrassment in order to get stronger.
That motivated Wyba, she loved her big brother, but she didn't want to lose pathetically against him, at least if she had to lose, she wanted to lose by a small margin.
While Wyba was still trying to use a wind skill, Yale was combining the Wind Wings with his own wings to fly faster, he still had room to improve, but with his current speed, fleeing from enemies who couldn't fly shouldn't be a problem.
"Sis, I will try to practice archery while flying. Any advice?"
Aiwai was his big sister, but at the same time she was also Yale's master in Archery, he had complete trust in any advice she gave to him.
"You will understand it better with experience than with some words. Only remember to stop before shooting. Shooting while in movement in mid-air is harder than it seems. First, master well how to use archery without moving in mid-air."
Yale was pleased with Aiwai's advice, so he decided to reply with some words she would like although they were a bit shameful for him.
"Thank you, sis! You are the best!"
Aiwai indeed liked to hear her little brother praising her, although she would have liked even more an "I love you, sis" than what Yale said, but knowing Yale's personality she knew he had already put all his effort to say those words.
Wyba was more used to say that kind of cute things towards her without thinking too much, and Aiwai liked to hear her that a lot, but Wyba wasn't as hard-worker as Yale.
Aiwai loved cuteness and training, so to her, the best would be that both would act cute but also train hard. That was why she enjoyed the situation with Yale the previous night as his shyness was very cute in her eyes and she also liked to see when Wyba became motivated to training.
However, sadly for her, there weren't a lot of situations where Yale would act cute, nor a lot of times when Wyba would really train hard on her own.
Yale reached the archery training grounds quickly; he loved his current wings because before he needed to be careful of the consumption to use them and he couldn't enjoy them as he did after turning able to summon them with his bloodline.
Yale started to shoot arrows, but he had some difficulties hitting the center of targets using merely traditional archery when he was in mid-air. Even if he didn't move, being in the air wasn't as stable as being in the ground.
Yale was always hitting the targets, but he didn't hit the center of them even once.
"Maybe I should use my Spiritual Sense to correct that distance. On the floor, I don't need the Spiritual Sense to hit targets, but it should be more useful while flying."
In the ground, he could hit any of the targets easily, so he had merely used the Spiritual Sense and the Origin Qi to move the arrows without a target, but in the air, he could use it to hit the center of the targets.
Yale guess was correct, guiding the arrow with his Spiritual Sense fused with his Origin Qi, he was able to correct the direction enough to improve his accuracy although he still failed to hit the center by a centimeter.
However, he was sure that he was on the correct path, missing by one centimeter was better than his big fails from before.
Yale was someone who always wanted to improve more; he spent all the day shooting arrows from the sky with his Spiritual Sense and his Origin Qi to control them.
Until the twilight, Yale didn't notice that he had been flying all the day and he didn't feel bad for that; he felt that he could live in the air without problems thanks to his wings and Auto-regeneration he wasn't tired nor had any need to land.
After that day of training, even his wings were almost in the state he saw in his premonition, using them for something more practical than just flying without objectives was effective.
Yale felt that his versatility on battle improved a lot since he turned able to use archery from the sky; his accuracy a little worse but if he wanted to hit the center of a head, failing by one centimeter would still hit the head.
Furthermore, Yale had also improved a lot in his archery; he managed to reach the fifth level of the apprentice stage, his way of controlling the arrows from the sky was better than the way he did it in the ground.
Wyba also seemed to have improved a lot based on Aiwai's words, she was able to cover her wings with the spell, but she was always failing at the last second. However, Aiwai felt confident that Wyba would be able to improve soon and made some desserts she liked to congratulate her for the efforts she made.
"Yale do you want more help to your wings? I observed you with the Spiritual Sense, and you have improved a lot since yesterday, but you still seem to lack a bit."
Yale knew very well that Aiwai always had her Spiritual Sense covering him and Wyba when she wasn't at their side, so he wasn't surprised that Aiwai knew about his improvements.
"Please, but you can also focus on my tail and ears?"
Yale wanted to completely control his half-beast form at will instead of that with Shape Shift; then he wouldn't feel like he was cheating Aiwai with his identity; if he could transform at will without skills that would mean that the half-beast form was also part of him and not a mere disguise.
"Of course. Wyba is already sleeping, so let's start. I can't wait to see your cute version again."
Yale had a weird smile, he didn't like to show that new part of himself, but he couldn't complain as Aiwai was doing that to help him.
