Have a good time with a Milkshake (Suri)

Suri...walked in the streets of South City. She was wandering, like usual. Usually, she would have been eating something, but right now, she didn't really feel like it. She didn't feel like doing anything. The empty handed Majin walked around, with an equally empty face devoid of emotion. Empty thoughts...well, she was still keeping an eye in what was front of her, at least, and this time, where she was going. This enabled her to notice something ahead...

A peculiar boy jumped around, catching the attention of Suri. Horned, dark red skinned...no, wait, maybe that wasn't his normal red. The rest of his body wasn't that same color of bloody dark red. Concerning. Was he hurt? Suri called out to the boy, "He...Hey, are you okay?"

In a flash of magic, the once empty handed Majin would be holding an ice pack. Cold, like it had just been taken out of a freezer. It was for the horned boy's...whatever it was on his face. Handing over the ice pack, she would ask him, "What's...What happened to your...face?"

"You're welcome..." Suri said, though without erasing the worried look on her face. It remained as the boy told her why his face was in the state that it was. "While training...? Huh. I haven't thought about that when I train..." Though, could she even get sunburnt? Maybe her skin would boil on its own, but...she also had an icy aura to keep her cooled.

"Well, it's great that you're pumped up to do exercise, but you should be careful... More importantly, maybe you should go to a hospital...get it checked out and treated, you know? It could get worse if you just leave it be."

"In any case..." Suri remembered passing a hospital on the way here. She knew the route, so she decided to draw it on a piece of paper...checking her pockets, she realized that she didn't have anything to draw with. That should have been expected, she never carried around a pen and paper. So, Suri quickly materialized a paper with the route pre-drawn, and handed the (extremely poorly drawn) map to the boy. "Just go like this, and you'll find a hospital."

Huh... He trained by subjecting himself to heat for a long period of time. And only that. That's not how training worked, was it? The question Suri asked was instead; "Does that...work, as training??"

"I'm pretty sure you have to put your body under...different kinds of strain, not just heat...", Suri said as if she was doubting her own words, though she knew well enough about the subject of training not to. "It's never a good idea to overdo anything, yeah..."

The boy didn't want to go to the doctor, as expected. Suri sighed. She couldn't blame him. Who wants to, really? Suri would give him something else...which would come in handy regardless if he went or didn't. Suri materialized a bottle of water, and as always, it was cold as if it just came from the freezer. "Here." Suri handed it over. "You can drink that then...and I guess it can replace the ice pack if it becomes useless, too." Suri didn't remember how you were supposed to treat sunburns, but she had a feeling it had something to do with cold and water. Then came a towel, to wipe sweat, and to use as a layer in between in case it was too cold. ...He took the map, though. Was he going, or not going? Suri was confused, then...

That question. 'What do you do?'

"Uhhhhhhhh..." What did she do? Suri was basically a NEET at this point. Her father gave her the freedom to travel the world to find that something to do, yet she used that time to go around trying food. Occasionally she found jobs, sure, but her part-time jobs never lasted long. Was she a treasurehunting adventurer? She got a lot of money from just doing that one or two times, sure, but that was it, and she was by no means passionate about it. Oh yeah. Martial arts was a thing she did. Suri was trying to find a real job and move away from that, but she realized, that was what she did mostly these days.

Though a lot of thoughts were passing through Suri's mind, she did catch the boy mention the fact that she was a Majin, and how he didn't see her kind often. "...You too?" Suri heard that a few times... Well, there were lots among Earth's populous, and occasionally Suri saw Majin out in the streets, sure. The ones Suri knew, though? Excluding friends from school that she didn't talk to anymore, she could only think of Myu and Bloom.

Yanwang introduced himself, and asked Suri's name while doing so, so she would reply. "My name is Suri, and I guess...I'm a martial artist? I train too, and stuff. With sparring or weights though. I don't like the heat that much, though I have a way to avoid it..." That was her natural cold aura, which Suri wasn't hesitant to show. She thought, it would also help them against the heat of the sun that they were currently both experiencing.

Guess her second occupation was a living air conditioner.

"Rocks do work great as weights." Suri nodded. "...Yeah. Gotta find a balance to things..."

"...Huh? Oh, err...thanks?" Suri hadn't really thought of names like that, and didn't really have a standard of weirdness for names.

"So I guess we're both martial art-ers. Let's do that, when your face is healed...?" That was probably ideal for Yanwang, and Suri, she didn't want cause more damage to his face...

Yanwang said that he was pretty strong. A few months ago, maybe Suri wouldn't have taken him too seriously, but after meeting Myu and Nashi, and training with the latter...she knew not to underestimate someone even if they were young. "How strong?" Suri asked, genuinely curious. Energy sensing would be helpful in gauging both of their strengths, but... "I'm guessing you can't sense energy. I can't either, so...I guess we'll have to find out?"

"Not today though, with the state you're in... Can you, uhh...put your strength into words, maybe?" Nashi did that once, and she thought maybe they could apply that here. "My master said that I could...turn tanks into cups, or something like that." Cupcake trays, but she couldn't remember the exact quote.

"Ah, uhh...?" Suri tried to smile reassuringly, despite now knowing what Yanwang really meant. Well, being a thousand times stronger than a regular person was already an impressive level, but from what Yanwang claimed, his strength had another multiplier added to it. He struggled to explain his power, but... "It's understandable that it's difficult to explain, I'm not too sure on it either."

"...Oh? Fujin...bag? This?" Suri asked, pointing towards said bag. "So what you're saying is...you can create objects magically from this bag. That's impressive though! Apparantly it's a difficult skill to learn." Judging from the reactions Suri got after showing people her abilities. "I guess we can both create things magically. We can't show each other our physical strength by sparring, but...maybe we could show each other that? I guess, a magic showdown? Let's sit down somewhere, and...ah." Suri didn't have to look far, as they happened to be standing next to a store that sold drinks, with chairs on the outside you could sit and drink.

"Milkshake?" Suri pointed at the little store while asking him. She would get two if he agreed, only one if he disagreed. Regardless, Suri would come and sit down after ordering.

"Alright, so... Would you like to...start?" Suri asked. She suggested that Yanwang start first so she would have an idea as to what to make herself. If what the boy said was true, Suri could learn from him. He could make anything he could think of, as real as the real thing. Sometimes Suri failed to do that, but maybe there was a way to improve her skills past that. This was training too, magic training.

Yanwang's strategy seemed dangerous to Suri, but... "Dangerous, but I guess that's what I've been doing too..." She couldn't say much about it, then.

Maybe it was weird that she was buying this kid she just met a milkshake. Suri reeeally wanted to see the boy's magical prowess though! And, y'know, it was hot out, so a cold drink would be great after using up some magical energy.

Yanwang pulled something out from his bag; a t-shirt with his face on it. That was magic? Suri lifted her eyebrow. So far, that level was possible to do even without magic... There's no way he would just carry around the t-shirt everywhere he went, though. Suri wanted to believe him too, and she would assume this was just how his magic worked. Maybe he was starting with something small. Okay then, they would work their way up to something more impressive. "Ookay... That was pretty quick even though you couldn't see inside the bag. Alright, my turn." Suri most often created drinks and food. They already had drinks coming though, so she would make food.

Suri pointed her fingers at the table, sending some of her magic on there. Her magic swirled like wind, the visible white mist spun around the table before it was focused into a smaller point. The vapor-like magic energy solidified into a plate, at which point it stopped spinning around. She wasn't done, and some of her magic remained on the plate. Her magic popped some cold chocolate cookies into existence! Yes, cold, like they were just taken out of a fridge moments ago. The cookies piled up on the plate. At first, they all had a mundane circular shape, but a few seconds later, they morphed in shape. The cookies were flat, and after changing, each of them were shaped like different weapons. A broadsword here, a rapier there, most of them were sword-shaped cookies, with occasional pistols mixed in. And would you look at that, there was a Fujin bag shaped one too.

Picking up a cookie dagger and eating it starting from the blade part, Suri enjoyed her own crunchy creation. "Mmm! These are good, just like I imagined. Let's eat these while we do this... Oh, I guess it's your turn!"

"Heheh. Thanks." Suri said...she felt a bit guilty that she didn't give Yanwang a reaction like he did. Maybe the next one, she would... Hm? He was sipping on milkshake- Oh yeah! Suri had briefly forgotten buying milkshakes for the both of them, but the shopkeeper had come out to give them their drinks. The woman smiled at both of them, telling them to enjoy before she started turning away to go back to the cashier...but then she stopped, surprised by the sight she caught with her eyes.

A firey ball with the appearance of a miniature sun. When Suri saw it come out of Yanwang's bag, her first thought was; 'Okay, definitely confirmed to be magic!' Suri now knew this boy wasn't kidding, he definitely had extraordinary skills. Similar to hers, too! Suri could feel that this 'sun' was "cool."..literally. Suri's expression was initally that with surprised mixed into it, then it turned into a smile. The next thought she had, vocalized, was; "Heeeey, I can do that too! I think. Hold on..." Suri didn't know what Yanwang was doing with his marker, but she didn't ask about it, instead focusing on attempting to create something similar to his creation.

The sun was a star. Suri could make star-shaped projectiles with ki and magic. She called them 'shooting stars', because she thought of the ice cream flavor of the same name while developing the technique. Suri made them into the five-edged kind, but it was definitely possible to forgo the process of shaping them into the cute shape and instead release the energy as it is. Suri brought ki into her hands in the form of a few tiny ki orbs, then her magic surrounded it. The appearance of the spheres only changed slightly, they morphed into shapes similar to actual stars like the sun, though their colors were vanilla white, soda blue, and strawberry red. Although they didn't look like ★, hopefully they were still a sight to behold! "Tada!" Suri's open hands inched closer to Yanwang to show him the newly created miniature stars floating above them. "They're cold, just like yours!" If not even more. Touching them would feel like touching ice, and the scent of the shooting stars would be that of the ice cream flavor's.

The stars were trembling, ever so slightly, ever since they had been made. The shaking of the stars slowly got more and more intense, until eventually even Suri noticed it. "...Huh?" Suri then realized her mistake. These stars she just created were ki-magic projectiles she used to FIGHT people. Shooting stars. They were made to be shot at something and detonate. Though Suri was holding them in place, the stars shook more and more, as if they were eager to be set off for their original purpose. Even if they were much less in number, and only golf ball-sized, they could still do some serious damage whatever hit by them.

"...Ooookay, I better release these before...Gah." Had a minute passed? Hopefully Yanwang had gotten a good enough look. "Heeeeere they GO!" Suri stood up and lifted her hands above her head, letting the shaking stars shoot upwards into the sky. As the stars hit the clouds above, they did indeed explode, but like flashy fireworks rather than brutal bombs. No one got hurt, but... "I hope that wasn't, uhh...illegal." ...and the shopkeeper was understandably pretty shaken too.
