Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

"What kind of training would it be?" Shiina asked with a pale face.

"Oh it's not much. I'm just going to be training you so that you can deploy the Throne World properly so that when the time comes, you won't be troubled. As all of you are still rather low levelled, you don't know the feeling of a Throne World. Therefore, I'll be letting you experience it. It might feel like a rollercoaster but it'll get better once you get used to the feeling." Shiro smiled as the training she had in mind was a little harsher than just a 'rollercoaster' but she wasn't about to tell them.

Seeing her smile, Shiina felt a chill down her spine as she figured that she should probably prepare herself for something much worse.

"You see, to construct a Throne World, it needs small mastery of spatial isolation magic. That's how you trap people inside your domain. There's a little trick when it comes to spatial magic so in order to let you sense that for yourself, I'll be letting you experience it first hand. But rather than tell you what we're doing, we'll demonstrate it. Follow me, I'll show you what I mean when we go to the training hall." Shiro smiled as she stood up.

Pushing Nan Tian, Shiro couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of them looking at Nan Tian's wheelchair in confusion. But none of them dared to say anything.

Arriving at training hall one, Shiro set Nan Tian to the side before looking towards the group of specialised pilots.

"Hm… there are 15 of you so who wants to volunteer first? I'll be deploying the Throne World using you as a conduit so that it is YOUR Throne World rather than mine. It's a little rough but it won't take long." Shiro smiled.

Naturally, she was lying about it being rough. It would probably feel like someone had just kicked you in the gut and threw you to space before dragging you back.

Plus, the forceful deployment of a Throne World that they haven't created yet was… difficult to put it lightly. If not for her improved understanding of runes, she wouldn't even try something like this.

"If there are no volunteers, I'll randomly pick one of you." Shiro smiled as the pilots slowly looked towards Shiina.

"Why are you lot looking at me?!" She asked, feeling as though a vein was about to burst from anger.

"Ahem, since miss Shiina is ranked number one out of all of us, I'm sure you're more than happy to demonstrate your prowess." One of the pilots spoke up as Shiina widened her eyes.

"Seems like we have a volunteer now." Shiro chuckled as Shiina despaired.

Seeing the smiling Shiro, she sighed before turning to the pilot that spoke up.

Running her finger across her neck, she glared at him while walking towards Shiro meekly.

"Please be gentle." She begged as she wanted to cry on the inside.

"I'll try." Shiro winked.

Snapping her fingers, a giant tier 6 magic circle erupted beneath them as Nanobots started to appear around them.

Feeling as though hot lava was running through her body, Shiina wanted to cry out in pain but Shiro only smiled and placed her finger on her lips.

"Just hold it in for now." Shiro smiled as she closed her eyes.

Motes of light started to appear around Shiina as Shiro felt as though she was swimming through an ocean.

Understanding that she was trying to link up to Shiina's True Spirit Nature in order to form a Throne world, she waved her hand as several runes started to appear.

Diving down the 'ocean', Shiro could sense a distant reservoir of power.

Clasping her hands together, several chains appeared and reached down in an attempt to drag that power up.

The moment her chains came into contact with the reservoir. Ice travelled up the chains and froze the ocean in an instant.

"Bingo." Shiro smiled.

Waving her hand, the tier 6 magic circle beneath them started to rotate as the runes started to correct themselves.

The space around distorted as snowflakes started to fall.

*KRSH!!!!!

Suddenly, the sound of ice shattering rang out as their surroundings started to distort.

The next thing they knew, they found themselves in the middle of a frozen forest with what seemed to be frozen beasts observing in the distance.

Their glowing blue eyes stared at them unblinking as they felt a chill down their spine. Slowly, spectres appeared from the ground as faint howls were heard.

"Seems like this is Shiina's Throne World. It's incomplete but this is what you'll be activating in the mech. By dragging your enemies into this world, you empower yourself while weakening them. Under most circumstances you should be able to grasp victory once you drag them in due to the advantage you have but you need to remember that it is not all powerful. A competent adventurer who has experienced Throne Worlds before will know that they need to interrupt your casting since you are vulnerable during the initial cast. There are even some that can break through it forcefully." Shiro smiled as she snapped her finger.

Cancelling the Throne World, Shiro quickly caught Shiina who was about to collapse.

"Remember that feeling. You can take a moment to rest but I advise practising now so that the feeling is fresh. The more familiar you are, the easier it'll become. Take this, this is a smaller version of the Throne World Module that I've installed into your mech. Using this, you should be able to deploy a small Throne World after some practise." Shiro smiled as Shiina nodded her head.

Just one use and she already felt exhausted since a Throne World was something that should exceed her current capabilities.

Taking the module, she glanced up to Shiro.

"Can I request permission to use mana potions to practice?" Shiina asked as she knew that they were probably running low due to the new restrictions on mana potions.

"Pft haha, you don't need to ask for permission to use mana potions that you have earned yourself. Use them whenever you want." Shiro chuckled as she snapped her finger and healed her using life fire.

"Right then, now that Shiina has demonstrated what to expect, the rest of you need to do the same. Now come, don't be shy, I'll be gentle." Shiro grinned.

"Of course, if you decide to wait around, I can just do everyone at once. Though I can't promise that I'll be gentle this time."

The moment she finished saying this, they all raised their hands, wanting to volunteer themselves so that they can get the gentle treatment.

"Seeing as how all of you are so excited for this, I can't let you down now can I? Everyone gets to go at the same time!" Shiro laughed as a giant tier 6 formation expanded beneath everyone as Nan Tian watched by the side.

Seeing Shiro laugh happily, he found it rather charming. One just needed to ignore the squadron of pilots screaming in the background from the pain.

Looking at the pilots all laying on the ground, Shiro couldn't help but chuckle. However, during the entire process, she wasn't able to create a Throne World at all for Glen.

Even for Celeste, she had some semblance of a Throne World but there was nothing at all for Glen.

"Everyone, you know what you have to do. Practice by yourself. Glen, do you want a quick talk?" Shiro asked as Glen nodded his head.

Walking over to Nan Tian, she gestured for Glen to sit near them while she grabbed his sleeve.

"So what's on your mind? You seemed a little out of it." Shiro asked as Glen sighed.

"Well I can't use spells well nor can I use this thing called Throne World. Is there something defective about me?" Glen asked as he glanced down at his hands.

"I have asked Miss Aarim before and she said it was something to do with my mana realm. High level spells are too stressful for my mana realm so it's always a struggle to cast it. And now I can't even use Throne Worlds." Glen sighed as Shiro placed her hand on her chin.

"Then what if I give you something unique for your mech? It's a specialised mech after all, it should be tailored to you." Shiro offered with a smile.

"What would that be?" He asked curiously.

"Two skills. The first is something called the Takemikazuchi Technique. It's equivalent to overcharging your body with lightning energy which increases your speed and damage. I can incorporate it into your mech but you need to learn how to use it yourself first. As for the second, I'll be training you to achieve your Full Domain with the sword." Shiro smiled.

Using her new runes, she might be able to set up a room where he'll be able to train in an isolated space that acts somewhat like a dungeon where one hour out here is one day within the room.

"But like our first training session, there's no backing out and in fact, this is probably worse than the other one." Shiro warned as Glen furrowed his brows.

Taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth.

"I'll do it."
