The Boiz's (or Girlz's) Target Practice
...Congratulations for getting Elemental Totem Pack (Rare)!]
"..."
[A goodie! you're one hell of lucky draw, Ellie!]
"What in the actual fuck?"
[Due to host getting a Rare Package in his first try of gacha, Host was awarded by a ⸤Lucky Coin⸣! Lucky Coin for a Lucky Host!]
"...kii-sama..."
*****
"Why whywhywhywhywhywhy... WHHYYYYYY?!?!?!", I groaned involuntarily as I look at the notification latched in the tabin front of me.
[Congratulations for getting Elemental Totem Pack (Rare)!]
For all of those thing I could've get, why carved hawaiian statues?!?!
Dissatisfied, I huffed while crying internally.
I didn't know if I'm crying in joy or sadness, I feel disappointment and relief at the same time. I feel the want of hyperventilating in anger, or crying like newly rejected lad by his first love.
[It's okay Ellie, at least you have familars now]
Eve said somewhat understanding what I feel, the doppelganger she summon rubbed my back. I questioned myself, why did think of dragon? even a slime would be fine, but this...
"Haiz, fine... Eve open the pack please? And... thanks", I really didn't know what to do right know but I still thank her.
[Aww, Thanks! and Okie Dokie~]
I calmed myself down and wait for the next event to happen.

I want to curse out loud, why the hell give me the most basics of basics?!
Next, a few orbs of bright light appeared in front of me one by one but since I used Light Magic, my eyes weren't hurt. Still, a question came to me.
Did every Rare kinds of items in system are going to be like this? with some grand entrance animation?
Shrugging the question, I looked what's inside the orbs. I saw what are the objects inside the orbs, and to my surprise...
Five carved woods with different faces etched elegantly carved and designs which are really for totems, different paints as their skins and different auras to show the elements embedded in them. They look like a real head if you look again and again, I shuddered thinking if this was really a real human or whoever's head.
Another tab appeared and this time I calm down despite loosing my amusement to continue this familiar bond...

The first one were painted in red paint all over it's carved body outside, it's face were the same as Hannya's*, eyes of black sclera and tiny glinted red iris were glaring furiously in it's line of sight, nostrils crumpled and blowing smoke like a raging bull, it's hair are full of spiky ends dyed with dark red and orange paint, there are three pairs of wings pointing their edges above the sky, white lines can be seen circling it's chin and forehead.
"Souda, Souda... Interesting...", I said like the man with bright glasses making Eve somewhat grumble in disappointment.
[Ugh... stop that]
I ignored her and appraised the next one...

The second one were painted in sky blue paint, a face looking as if crying silently, the mouth was carved as if trembling, wide eyes dyed in black sclera and a pair of small ocean blue balls as if trying to call for help, it's three pairs of wings are pointing down, the crestfallen and crying expression were almost surreal, there are white lines too.
"...", I shrugged seeing the skill.
What if I call this totem Blastoise then ordered him to use ⸤Water Blast⸣?
Nah, I don't like to rip something in Pokémon.
I appraised the totem in the middle...

The one in the middle were a Totem with face like Hyottoko's* with light green paint, whistling as if ignoring something ridiculous, it's tubular mouth raised in left to above were producing wheezing sound, I was startled for a second when it dashed circular at me with wheezing sound. It's Three pais of wings are streched but pointed in sideways. I guess... Air totem's is a carefree one.
I appraised the fourth one...

Next to it were a Totem with Usume's* face with brown oaken color, it looks like a chubby female smiling but with eyes in slits, it's dark sclera were still visible along with it's hazelnut color of iris, there are also a pendant with a head of a crow attached below in it's chin, it's wings folded.
I took this as a good omen, I can finally say "ha! now you can't escape in death, Bitchie!" (actually I write it because I want to break that bitch lasagna's neck, I don't like her character in Tate no Yuusha Nariagari)

The last were a totem with Kitsune* Mask, it's red paints were changed into Dark Oak color resembling tree leaves, the black sclera and emerald green eyes are fluttering, and a leaf crown in it's head, it's wings are four pairs and made of vines. (Japan + Rome = This shit lol)
I quickly typed names (really?), not ripping any manga or anime neither a comic in this names. My loss of excitement before changed into the opposite one, I want to try their powers!

I quickly choose 'Yes', since I was already exploding in excitement to test their power.

[You obtained the Job : Elemental Shaman!]

[Elemental Shaman]
Description : Gain a partial control of the elements inside the familiar totems, The other Shamans are friendly to you.

I look at Ugo, Uzo, Urd, and Ukt because... Darya climbed up to my head and rest there like a cat.
"Alright Boiz, sorry for being down before. I'll treat you ol good now, here's your meal Boiz", I said in joyful tone making the four totems froze in wonder.
I chuckled looking at them while taking out a bag full of Rainbow Cookies in the ⸢Inventory⸥, Ugo jumped right in front of me after I picked out the bag.
The cookie were a mix of colors in spiral's strands, the glitters and aromatic smell makes the totems look like cats wanting to eat a catnip.
All five (including Darya) look at me jumping up and down in air, I wish their fixated eyes could be movable to make it more convincing with a puppy eyes. I cringed at the sight of Ugo, who would be startled if you suddenly see a demon face looking at you with intent?
I sighed before giving them one each. Then I thought : how can they eat this? but what happened next makes me understood.
when the cookie came in contact with their skin, it began to vaporized and become a colorful smoke which entered their bodies in fast rate. Each of them looked like in dazed, maybe in bliss or nah... not in here.
Uzo was the first one to snap out and come to me with his teary look.
"Nah, we need to practice boiz, I need to see your skills", I said which make them all roll in the ground like lifeless dolls.
"...", I look at them blankly and confused.
[That's how they show their dissatisfaction, good job for having babies Ellie!]
Eve, should you stop that? And I'm not like Arthur who became father of some op dragon in young age.
*****
"Okay, boiz use your spells in the monsters there and I'll sense it here", I said pointing at the den of ⸢Titanoboa⸥ which is a large underground hole.
Why did I know this? ask Ukt.
The five backflipped in the air, which Eve said that indicates their willingness, agreement or happiness. I let Urd to be left outside and act as the sensor in other monsters by his Air Element since Ukt can't multitask.
I moved my hand and with my signal, the four dashed towards the hole.
What you could heard next were the sound of hissing and explosions, bone cracking and splashing. Sensing them with my Mana, I realized their firepower were amazing.
Ugo's ⸤Blaze⸣ weren't that effective in the battle because of the scales but the enemies ⸤Poison Spit⸣ nil to them and he has another help with Uzo's ⸤Water Blast⸣ which pushes down the giant snakes, the latter's water were boiling when Ugo came near the water surface carefully. Even the splashes weren't touching him he's still careful, added by the ⸤Quick Sand⸣ of Ukt and ⸤Nature's Deadly Embrace⸣ of Darya the pressure were good. After some minutes, the sounds died down and the five came back full of blood stains in them. I ordered Uzo to clean themselves up and we started to farm with the hours left before Rander reach my training place with either mom or dad.
***
"Okay Boiz, It's time for a temporary good bye. I need to hide you for now, Okay?", I said at the five and they twirl around in agreement. I heard the same growl of Rander and quickly entered the sleep mode of the totems, instantly placing them inside a magical space. Mother came near my little and dirty body with smiling expression.
"Intense Training?"
I just nod and we ride Rander who started to ran back to the house with mom's signal.
