Locke stared blankly at Akari's face, " So what am I supposed to do?" He had no idea what transformation magic was, nor if he had an affinity for it. He just hoped he wouldn't disappoint Akari, he wouldn't want to deal with her tangents. Akari's lips rose as they formed a grin, " All dragons have an affinity for transformation magic. You'll be fine, you need not worry. All you have to do is follow what I say, you'll transform in no time!" Akari said with anticipation.
Locke sighed in grief, " Can't I rest for just a bit Akari. I may not be able to transform if I'm not in peak condition."
Akari ignores Locke's plea and casts a strange spell on him. Locke could feel that his body was back to full condition. He could feel his mana was fully restored while his body felt new again. " You should be able to transform now, right?" Akari says with no care whatsoever. Locke was not surprised anymore, Akari had way too many secrets he didn't know of.
Akari's voice turns serious. " Alright, we should start with you spreading your mana throughout your body. You need to stabilize and balance your mana so that nothing leaks out of your body. This might be a bit hard, but you should be able to learn it after a few attempts. You've shown pretty impressive capabilities with completing my training."
Locke concentrates on his mana pool once again. This time he tried moving it out with just his mind. He didn't want to brute force his mana towards his entire body, it would be unstable and very taxing. His first attempt had failed, but his second attempt worked marvelously. By setting his mind calm, he was able to circulate mana throughout his body and gain complete balance. He felt euphoria like no other, it set his mind at ease. He was able to contain his mana on the first try due to some luck and his calm state.
Akari was impressed and showed surprise on her face. " I honestly didn't expect you to do it so quickly." followed with a laugh. Akari's face turns serious again, " Let's move on to the 3rd step in transforming. What I want you to do is imagine your body becoming smaller and forming a humanoid shape. Your humanoid form is based upon your soul and characteristics you have come upon."
Locke nodded to Akari's words and began following her instructions. He started to imagine his body shrinking into a small humanoid form. He failed 3 times as he didn't get the mental image correct. He was able to create a suitable mental image on his fourth try.
" Now! Remain focused and don't lose yourself," Akari said to Locke.
Locke's body glowed in a bright light that wrapped around his body. You could see his body slowly shrinking down in height and becoming just about 5 inches shorter than Akari. After 2 long minutes, the light around Locke had faded.
[Transformation: 1]*NEW*
Locke opened his shut eyes and looked around himself. It was weird being so short, he previously standing more than 10 meters tall. It messed with his head, but he decided to ignore it as best as he could. Just as he was about to walk to Akari, he stumbled. Ignoring his failure at walking properly, he made his way to Akari to confirm something.
Locke asked curiously, " How do I look Akari-san?"
Locke was suddenly pushed into two huge mounds and suffocated. " Ahhh, you're just so cute right now. Always call me oneesan from now one! I just want to cuddle you up and keep you with me forever," Akari said in a happy voice. Locke was about to die from suffocation, he used all his willpower to escape Akari's grasp. He slipped through her hands and took a few deep breaths before wiping his nosebleed. You couldn't really blame him, she was about the most perfect being he has ever seen. Being mashed by her two soft mounds was heavenly aside from the fact he was dying.
" Hehe, do you have a mirror around here so I can see what I look like?" Locke said.
Akari pouted at the fact Locke escaped from her. " Sure thing," Akari said to Locke. A big mirror around 2 times the size Locke appeared in front of him. It decorated with gold on its outer rim as if made for royalty or nobility. Locke could see his new face in the mirror and was shocked at what he saw. He was tranquilized at the scene of looking at himself in the mirror. His face could only be described as extremely eyecatching beautiful. It was similar to Id from the manhwa "Id" since they showed similar characteristics, but he could be described leagues beyond that. His hair was glistening black with large strands of white in between that match his race. His skin had no blemishes or defects at all. His body was also very similar to Id, but he was a bit less slim and more well-rounded.
(Type in any search engine "Id Manhwa" and you'll find what I mean.)
Locke was getting worried, what if he wasn't a man anymore. He would be devastated if that were to happen. He moved his hand down to his pants and peaked at what was inside. Sighing in relief, he still kept his manhood and would not need to worry.
" Akari-, I mean oneesan, how do I transform back again?" Locke said with curiousness.
" Ahaha, It usually takes dragons at least 2 months to transform back to their original form for the first time. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get it done in a week or so." Akari said with no worry.
Locke sighs, ' I guess I'll have to deal with this now... Might as well get used to it, I've become a bit rusty using a humanoid body. I lost my previous body 3 months ago when I died.'
Stretching himself, Locke decided he would find something to eat and cook. He was pretty good at cooking back on Earth, he could dish out meals comparable to 5-star restaurants if he had ingredients and tools. This would be a good way to learn to control his body.
