Chereads / The Dead Empire / Chapter 3 - First training

Chapter 3 - First training

Elion let Mei eat before asking her to train. She accepted with pleasure as she finished her meal. She didn't know which nature that Elion have, it made it more difficult for her from the start. She saw Elion take a sword so she took hers. It was a short sword but it had great magical power.

"Come on, Mei,don't be scared."

Mei scoffed "Scared of what, an old man?"

With that Elion ran towards her pointing his sword on her chest. He was fast but he was slow enough for Mei to dodge his attack. She saw Elion created a Soil Giant who had an axe. 'Earth nature huh?' Mei thought innerly. She infuse discretely her sword with a lightning spell before stabbing the Giant. Elion watched his perfect Giant fell into pieces as the lightning spell consume the soil. He never thought that this girl could transfer her nature in her sword. He gotta be more careful next time.

"How does it feel to see your Giant be destroyed?"

Elion clenched his tight on his sword, as the water typhoon he made hit Mei's arm. She closed her eyes in pain and throw a fireball. It was bigger that what she expected since she never actually succeed to throw one. It grew bigger as it travel in the air and hit directly Elion's chest. The fireball left a huge burn on his chest and Elion let out a scream of pain. Knowing that she has gone a bit too far, Mei calmed his pain with cold water and used some of her herbs.

"Are you crazy?! You throw a freaking fireball!!" Jack was boiling with anger. He had rushed to his dad after the fireball hit him. The group followed him worried for their leader.

Elion smiled weakly "It's my fault. I underestimated her and she's hurt too." Elion knew that he had hurt the girl with his water typhoon but to his surprise the wound already healed.

Mei saw the confusion in his eye and thought she owed him an explication "When the five natures are gathered in one specific part of the body, it can regenerate the cells to heal any type of wound. It just need concentration, but more the part is bigger more energy you got to use to heal it."

Everyone listened carefully but Jack didn't seem to care. "You still hurt my Dad. You should be punished!"

Mei rolled her eyes "Look tough guy, I know you don't like me, but please don't be a pain in the ass. I'm healing your dad, so can you remain silent for a bit"

Jack let a scream from anger and left in hurry embarrassed. Everybody laughed when he was gone. Jack was arrogant and annoying but everyone liked him for his care. He may not show it but he cared for everyone in the camp including Mei.

"I'm sorry for the burn... It should be okay in few minutes. I've lost control."

Elion smiled "You should lose control on the guards of the Dead Empire."

Mei stared at him blankly for few seconds. She never thought that this group of survivors would actually risk their life near the gates.

"Tomorrow, we'll go to the North gate of the old Tsakuri empire. Lose your control there, Mei."
