Chapter 898: Everyone Rank Up
-----
After their Rank Up, both of my siblings Status Updated, their new Classes have changed as well as their abilities. They acquired new Skills too, but the biggest thing was the new Spirit. Spirit Masters can get one new Spirit every Rank, although for me that's two. This means a whole new companion with special abilities that could help them progress.
And the new Spirits of my sibling were within my expectations. Spirits usually follow a pattern. The first Spirit they awaken sets a pattern that every other spirit born after follows. For example, if someone gets a tea bag spirit at the beginning, then the next spirit could be a tea plant monster, a teacup, or a sentient slime made of liquid tea. It has to go around the first spirit's "gimmick".
While analyzing their Status with my Grimoire, I clearly saw their new Spirits appear, even though both of them had no idea it was inside their Spirit Orbs.

Anna's new Spirit was a bright golden knife, which I told her to summon. She was amazed by its detailed appearance and the magical glow it possessed. Looks like her "gimmick" will be all sorts of Golden Tools, instead of just musical tools. I'm thankful its Gold Themed and not Musical. This girl is not a musician to be honest. She's a hardcore hunter and frontline fighter after all.
"Wow, a magic knife spirit!" Anna was surprised. "I love it! I can use Knife Strike with it!"
"Yeah, it should have its own abilities as well, you'll have to discover them as we fight and train." I explained to her.

Allan in the other case, had a single silver-colored arrow. As if it were completely made out of silver metal. It floated in midair by his command with ease. And he could use Mana and Spirit Energy to control its trajectory.
"Woah, it's useful!" Said Allan. "M-Maybe I can use it with my bow to trick foes into thinking it's a normal arrow, but then it zaps right into the back of their head when they evade it!"
"Good idea." I nodded. "You've got good battle instincts to think about that right away!"
"It's a bit too much, hahaha." Anna laughed a bit. "Allan, I didn't thought you would think such things!"
"E-Eh? Was it creepy? I was just thinking on being a better hunter… I want to make dad proud too…" Allan said, fidgeting with his fingers.
"Sure! We have to go hunt now, right brother?" Anna asked me with her adorable smile.
"No, today I'll be busy crafting. For now, you two should practice your abilities in the backyard. I've left several dummies for you to practice fighting." I said. "You can also request Eleanora or my other Spirits to help you spar and learn techniques. Your first task today is to discover what other skills your new Spirits possess.
Also, practice your Aura Skills, those are very important for your growth. Spirit Auras is what helps you reinforce your bodies and make your magic much stronger. You have to master it before all other skills."
"Awww… Well, I guess…"
"I will train my aim!"
They seemed slightly disappointed at the beginning, but accepted everything surprisingly fast and started practicing against some dummies I left behind. I told Fang, old man Woo, and Eleanora to become their sparring partners and teach them a few things. Their stats were high enough that they should be more than capable of learning and fighting a bit better now.
Leaving them on their own devises while being supervised by their Familiars, I took a look at them after they recently Ranked Up again. The two of them had finally hit D Rank and were looking much stronger.

Without a doubt, their Stats had increased a lot. They were now almost comparable to my C Rank Familiars, and that's saying a lot. Unique Familiars have incredible potential. And after hitting D Rank, you can finally begin to understand why they're so strong. Their stats might get even higher by C Rank, comparable to my B Rank Familiars, although I have yet to create those.
Emerald apparently became a Druid, with a strong barrier and domain skills, while Paprika continues on her offensive specialization, now with the ability to seamlessly manipulate mana to reduce MP cost of skills and make skills themselves much stronger. Fire Domain is to trap foes on a circle of fire, very useful.
Both are shaping to be powerful guardians of the village…
And now, without further ado, time to craft.
