After the questioning ended, My parents had to go with the MP's,
They took the assassin that Sebastian captured with them for interrogation, I on the other went back to my room and picked up the spell books I got from the library.
As I was looking other the books, Sebastian came into the room, I motioned him to sit on the chair that was on the other side on the table.
"Young master"
"I know, the assassins are probably after me because we took out that brothel, right?"
"Yes, and it seems that the leader is a noble"
"how do figure?"
"The assassin were able to enter the noble district, the only people that can enter the district are nobles and those employed by nobles"
Well it isn't that surprising that a noble would run an illegal business, but assassin on broght daylight? that seems a bit dumb.
"so what do we now? do we tell my parents? because I don't think that's a good idea, for you and me"
"Yeah, I think it's best to keep it a secret for now"
"What about another assassin attempt? they failed, they're probably going to try again"
"not necessarily, they probably had people watching, so they now know you are an Arianiti, and unless they are stupid, they're going to lay low for now "
That makes, the place is probably crawling with MP's, I think should get stronger, or at the very least have some long-range attacks.
"Hey Sebastian, what is your affinity?"
"lighting"
"mind teaching me this spell?"
I hold up the [Lightning Bolt] spell, Sebastian then smiled put his hand on his chest and bowd
"It would be my pleasure"
[TIME SKIP]
We are now on the arena that beat Arnold, though this time Sebastian brought some targets for us to train with.
"all affinities have about the same destructive power, but the most common magician's are those with a earth affinity, why is that?"
Now that he mentioned it, I think I remember mom talking about it when she was teaching. e about the world, but because I'm a dumbass, I didn't pay attention
"Because The Earth affinity [MANA] is the easiest to control"
"Oh? so which is the hardest"
"Hardest to easiest are [Lightning] [Fire] [Water] and [Earth]"
"so? where so we get started?"
"First we need to figure out if you have the Lightning affinity"
"Don't we need the [Universal Stone] for that?"
"that is not the only way"
"What's the other way then?"
Sebastian stretched out his right arm forward, little sparks of electricity started happening around his hand.
"I flow my [MANA] into you and if you are a lighting affinity made magician your body will start to absorb it, and if your body rejects it your not"
"Simple enough, let's try it"
Sebastian then placed his hand on my shoulder, after a second I could tingling in my shoulder, then is started spreading all around my body
I lifted my hand up, and I could see little sparks going all around my hands.
"looks like you are a [Lightning] magician, though it's not a surprise since Mrs Arianiti is also a [Lightning] magician"
Mom to huh? I could get her to train me after she comes back, but first I'll learn the basics from Sebastian.
"so? where do I start?"
"First you need to flow the [MANA] out of your body"
Oh? I haven't done thai before, I've just been flowing it internally to enhance my fiscal abilities, alright let's try it
So took a rigid stance, and stretched my arm forward with the palm of my hand facing a target, and I started flowing my [MANA]
. . . . . .
Nothing happened, I failed completely, and I thought enhancement was hard, how the hell am I supposed to do this?
"need any help young master?"
". . . . . . Yes, please"
not gonna lie I was embarrassed asking his for help, but If I want to learn I have to be taught.
"Just imagine a lighting strike going from the center on your chest, and out of your arm, also it's better if you use your finger tips, it a smaller area of exist so it's easier to control"
I nodded, and I turned back facing the target, this time I closed my eyes, I di as Sebastian said Imagining a lighting strike, I play that vision in my head over and over and over.
Until . . . .I felt it, the sparks on my finger tips, and the tingling feeling that I felt earlier spread the center of my chest to fhe arm that I stretched out.
So I focused on that feeling, I charged up my [MANA], and I . . .did it, I shot out a small lighting strike, but it scattered before I could reach the target.
"I did it, I actually did it!"
"good, but you to keep your control of the [MANA] even after you release it"
"Wait you can control your [MANA] even after you release it?"
"Yes, though the control over it is minimal, but it can grow overtime"
Now this is really cool, being able to control the spell even after you release opens the door to so many possibilities in attack, and defensive strategies.
I turned to face the targets again, I extended my arm forward, pointing the tips of my fingers at the same target as before, I'm determined to hit thsi time.
The tingling feeling returned once again as I charged up the [MANA] in my arm, as tiny sparks started going all around the tips of my fingers, focusing my gaze on the target, I shot out the lightning strike again.
This time though I imagined ther was a string around the strike keeping it from scattering, and it hit the target, though it didn't do anything to the target.
what are they made from?
"good, now we move on on to increasing your [MANA] output"
Damn it, it's going to be more difficult controlling the [MANA], but I do need this to get stronger.
