Frigs was startled. He furrowed his eyebrows as his head slowly looked down after being hit. Slowly, he raised his head while rubbing on the back of it and saw the person that slapped the head of his.
His furrowed brows were no more in the matter of seconds. It just disappeared to thin air. Frigs raised one of his eyebrows in confusion and a bit of cockiness, 'That guy bullying my subordinate?'
The man stopped. It was a man with golden hair and pure blue eyes, he is what some called as handsome, but his youngness could be seen, his face younger than Frigs. Frigs approached the man as soon as he stopped, "Hey dude, I saw you slapping that guy on the back of his head,"
The man smirked as he raised his head toward Frigs, "Yea I did, what are you going to do about it?"
Frigs shrugged with a smug-looking face, "By the way, what is your noble house position in the nobility, duke, baron?"
The man's smirk became bigger and bigger as each second passed while he was attending his stuff on the bag carried by his big, brown horse, "Yea, I'm a duke's son. You know, Connor is actually a nice kid…"
Frigs chuckled in confusion, "Then why did you do it?"
The man sighed, "My family and his family have a bit of feud, since Connor's dad actually tried to be a duke once. Of course not many people approve of this"
Frigs stared at him for a few seconds. He then saw Connor and Bell stopping about 10 meters from the man that was in front of him. Then another figure, with a hood that his face was not visible, not long after, entered the gate of the school.
The man, the duke's son, whispered to Frigs, "There, there, he is the spy,"
Frigs chuckled and went around the duke's son. As he tapped the man's shoulder, he said calmly, "Don't worry, I have my dad talk to you,"
As the hooded figure rode around Frigs, he saw a little part of the face of the person, 'Normal face… blonde hair and brown eyes, bad combination,'
Bell called for him, "Frigs!"
Frigs attention soon was directed toward her. He walked toward Bell and her assistant and said, "Hello Bell,"
He then turned his head to the side, "Hey Connor, does it hurt?"
Connor nodded, "You bet it is, it doesn't hurt as much as one of the bandits in the past throwing rocks at me, but it still hurts,"
Bell and Frigs chuckled at the same time, "Well then, you two, go and rest, I'm going to the forest right now,"
Bell smiled, Connor nodded. As Frigs went around him, he whispered, "Tell that golden hair dude to meet me at the place when I asked for your help, tomorrow"
Frigs nodded and Frigs just smiled.
Soon, he reached the forest, "Okay, let's see here… Practicing fire in the forest is dumb, so the wood it is then"
He began opening it, flipping the pages, ignoring the one he read before and soon arrived at the guide part, "Wood element is not that hard to master, you just need to used your mana to create wood,"
"First, extend your arm and let the mana flow out of your body, relax. Gather your mana at the same place and compress it as hard as you can while thinking of wood and done,"
Frigs chuckled and extended his arm. He then breathed in out relaxingly as mana left the body of his like water flowing down from the mountain. Soon, he saw the blue color of his mana floating in front of him.
He gathered them at one place with a thought of a wooden plank. Trying to focus, he closed his eyes. Soon, he felt his mana in front of him was no more, Frigs slowly opened his eyes and saw what he created.
It was not a wooden, compact stuff, it was not a plank, its pulp, wooden pulp. He raised one of his brows almost instantly, 'Wait… let me try again, '
Second try, same result
Third try, almost the same result
Fourth try, when he opened his eyes, he saw a wooden plank that broke down to pieces of wood in a matter of seconds, 'Okay, that's almost a success, anyway, I want to try the fire element,'
He walked forward for a few seconds, trying to find any water in the forest he was in. Soon, he found the thing he was looking for, a small river, 'Okay this shouldn't be too hard, I'm already at the second rank after all, just need to practice,'
He practiced the two elements for the whole day, playing some trick with his magic and enjoying the moment. Soon, it was night and Frigs found himself walking in the middle of the hallway of his school.
While he was just walking, returning to his room, he noticed a hooded figure just making a left turn from another hallway. Both of them were walking beside the wide hallway, 'This dude is weird…'
'I can't let this man, out of nowhere, to mess my plan with the duke's son' It was the thing inside the figure's mind.
Frigs didn't thought much of it and just continued to the room and falling asleep on the bed like a baby.
The next morning, he woke up, sunlight flashing right toward his face was the reason. He ignored it and yawned as he stretched his arms. Frigs turned toward the side and saw his assistant, Louis, still fast asleep on his bed.
While rubbing his eyes, he got ready for the day, 'What matter do I have today?'
As he was wearing his casual clothing, he remembered, 'Oh yea, I need to meet that golden hair guy. I might need to send a letter to the house,'
He sighed as he left the room, fully clothed, and then he made his way toward the meeting place. When he arrived, he was greeted by the sight of the hooded figure and the golden hair boy, Connor was also there.
