Janna, My Junior Sister

It's the dead of winter in Ionia, and here in the far north, the temperature is extremely low. Seeing Janna's attire sent a chill down my spine.

Aren't you cold wearing so little?

"Of course it's not cold, don't forget..."

"Shh..." I quickly pulled Janna aside. "You said you'd keep it a secret, how come you almost gave yourself away right away?"

"Am I that stupid? I want to tell you not to forget that I can also manipulate the wind. We can be considered your fellow disciples. Otherwise, wouldn't it be strange if we suddenly became acquainted?"

"But everyone knows I am the last successor of the Wind Riding Technique, so wouldn't it be strange if another one suddenly appeared?"

"News doesn't travel well in Ionia. As far as I know, your master Elder Suma, used to travel Sifang, so it's not unusual for him to take on another disciple. 🍓☯ 🍧🐊"

Janna's suggestion is good. If we only say that she is a bard, it would be strange that we suddenly met. It would be more convincing if I testified that she is a successor of the Wind Riding Technique.

Moreover, she said she would guide us to improve our strength, and we would inevitably need to use the Wind Element Strength, so this identity would be more convenient!

"What are you two whispering about? Who is she, Yasuo?" Kled was puzzled by our behavior.

"Uh... she's my junior sister, her name is Janna."

"Since she's your junior sister, why are you acting so suspiciously? We should go back now. Does she want to come with us?"

"Yes, she's coming with us to the North Spring Temple!"

Janna was a little unhappy when she heard what I said, "Who's your junior sister! Even if we're from the same sect, I should be your elder!"

"But you're young and beautiful, you look younger than me no matter how you look at it. Okay, let's not worry about such details, let's go!"

Janna had no choice but to follow my advice.

So far, I have encountered several deities.

Whether it's the Three Sisters Lissandra, Avarosa, and Sejuani, or Volibear, Janna, or even Illaoi and Tam, apart from their immense power, they are no different from humans.

They have different personalities, their own joys and sorrows, and they act according to their own will.

However, Jax once told me that they were all human before, but were worshipped as gods because they mastered certain supreme powers.

Therefore, to be precise, they should be Demigods, while the true gods are the mysterious beings who grant them power.

I don't know anything about this other than Mount Targon and the Soul of Ionia. I want to ask Janna, but I feel it's not the right time. I'll wait until we're more familiar with each other.

And so, Kled and I went back with our "junior sister," while Mangi continued to act alone. People didn't like him, and he didn't like anyone else either.

Veigar refused to hand over the staff, but since he can resist the influence of the Vastaya, it doesn't matter. If necessary, we can come back here to find him next time.

Back at the North Spring Temple, I introduced Janna's identity to everyone. When we learned that she, like me, was a successor of the Wind Riding Technique, many people found it incredible.

The most surprised of all was Sivir; she wasn't interested in Janna's identity, but rather in Janna herself.

"That's strange, Yasuo. Every time you leave, you bring back some beautiful women. Are you a flower? Why do you attract butterflies so much?"

"My junior sister is very capable; having more helpers is a good thing for us."

"You don't seem to have answered my question: Why are you so attractive to the opposite sex?"

"Your question is difficult to answer. If I don't bring back beautiful women, am I supposed to bring back handsome men?"

Everyone laughed when they heard my answer, even Janna couldn't help but laugh out loud. Only Sivir blushed, knowing that she had pressed too hard.

I know that saying this will embarrass her, but if I don't do it this way, she definitely won't stop.

Seeing this, Varus quickly stepped in to defuse the awkward situation. "Where did you guys go? Yasuo? You left in such a hurry."

"I heard there was a Yordle nearby and wanted to go check it out, but I ended up encountering Vastaya instead..." I told Varus what had happened, hoping he would find something.

"A staff-wielding Vastaya... I'm not entirely sure since I haven't seen his abilities, but I think it's probably Grian..."

Varus said that the Vastaya we encountered was very likely Ascended formerly known as "Grian," who was once a mage, and the Ascended Weapon he wielded was very similar to what I described.

I vaguely remember Grian; he displayed great strength during the Void War and was extremely skilled at controlling magic.

A twisting magic circle was released to trap the void monsters inside, helping other Ascended to annihilate them, while preventing the Void Creatures from spreading everywhere.

As for why he hadn't fully awakened, Varus thought it was because Veigar's mental defenses were stronger, hindering Grian's recovery. After all, Yordle were powerful in all aspects.

When I mentioned that I was almost infected by him, Varus didn't explain much, only saying that the Vastaya crave powerful bodies so that they can regain their former strength after consuming them.

Seeing his perfunctory attitude, I always felt that he was hiding something; the conditions for possession by the Vastaya shouldn't be that simple.

In short, it's fortunate that this incident didn't have any disastrous consequences. As for Grian's matter, Kled decided to find an opportunity to take Veigar back to the Yordle world to resolve it, otherwise no one would be able to take the staff from him.

After telling this story, the people continued practicing. There were many masters here, making it a once-in-a-century opportunity for those who loved to study martial arts.

Especially Wukong, I haven't seen him for the past few days, he seems to be studying very hard with the Sword Saint.

Fiora gained everyone's recognition during the past few days of sparring and exchanges, and was hailed as a master swordsman.

However, she didn't care about these empty titles, because she always kept Jax, this powerful being, in her heart, and she wanted to defeat him when they met again!

Akali is also making rapid progress. She is learning to interpret oracles from Miyue and Irelia while also honing her martial arts skills with Shen, showing the demeanor of a master.

My other young Shepherd, Yun Sang, is said to be very spiritual and has gained Udyr's favor; he is currently learning psychic arts.

Shepherd are naturally inclined to understand animalistic Spirit Summoning.

Everyone else has also made progress in their respective fields, learning from each other's strengths and making up for their weaknesses, ready to welcome the arrival of the Vastaya at any time!

After briefly learning about everyone's situation, I was about to go find Darius to ask about the manor owner when I ran into Varus on the way. He wanted to talk to me alone.

I know he didn't finish his sentence; it seems he had some reservations, which is why he chose to speak privately.

"I want to tell you about how you were infected by Grian..."
