I open the door and walk really sneakily to my room, hoping everyone is asleep. while the lights are off, I have no clue if anyone is around. I got lucky. nobody has noticed that I left and have been gone. I sneak into my room and undress. I lay down in my bed and think about all that happened today. I finally fall asleep after an hour of thinking.
after school the next day
I open the door and leave looking for my mom, but on my way, I hear a cop talking
cop "yeah, we found Nelson underwood laying on the ground with blood flowing down his head."
teacher "How is he?"
cop "he's not looking so hot, but he will live."
teacher: "What could have happened?"
cop "our best guesse and only at the moment is that someone at this school did this to him. we have no clue who did, but we will find out."
I start to breathe in and out fast. did the security cameras see me? will they find me? I jump when I hear a horn. it's mom. I walk in the car and try to control my breathing.
mom, "How was school?"
Malex "same as usual"
mom, "Are you okay? you sure are breathing pretty heavy."
Malex "Yeah, I'm fine, I just thought I might be late, so I started running."
mom "okay."
the second I get home, I start packing things into my bag so I can have some food and water. I walk out the door, but of course, mom has to ask where I'm going.
Malex "I'm just going for a jog. I'll be back in a bit."
mom, "Okay, be careful."
I walk out and head towards the park. when I get to the park, I start immediately. it comes a whole lot natural now, at least the two spells I learned yesterday. I start practicing on both, using both of them pretty well. I called the first spell, I did concussion blast for obvious reasons, and I called the second one swift end because when I activated it, it's really fast and really sharp. I am having trouble picking up a new one. like I'm good with both concussion blast and swift end, but I can't learn this third spell.
hours later
I think I'm starting to pick up something because the wind I'm feeling now is so nice. It feels like I'm flying through the air. I open my eyes and look around, and I'm at a complete disbelief. I'm flying in the air. air surrounds me and guides me into my window that I accidentally left open.
Malex "wow. that was absolutely insane!"
there is still air flowing around me, so I stop the spell.
I look over and see a paper floating into my window.
"You are learning fast and well, a true prodigy. very good at this rate, you'll be able to learn some very tough spells in just a couple of days. keep up the good work. tomorrow, try to focus on building up mana to do this. You have to keep using your spells. learn them, get used to them, and you will become very powerful."
