"You didn't let me say my side of the story yesterday so I will tell you now" Zane said.
"Hurry up, I still need to get chicks" Chris said. He was still angry at Zane.
"First of all, I couldn't tell you about the training because it was supposed to be a secret, I don't even know how you found out."
"Secondly, I was and still am going to breakthrough next week so I didn't see the need to tell you, it's just six days away" Zane said.
"Well that's still six days of me without a girlfriend!" Chris berated. Zane was shocked, he was trying to talk about an important issue and apologize but Chris was still being Chris.
"What I'm trying to say is I'm sorry Chris" Zane said.
"Apologize later when I can fry your ass with a wave of my finger, now come on" Chris put out his hand.
He was waiting for Zane to give him the mana to become a Mage. He didn't want to show it because he was still mad at Zane, but he was very excited.
Zane sighed and held Chris' hand. He knew that there was a chance of Chris attacking him straight after, however Zane was confident in surviving. If a brand new mage like Chris could easily kill him, then Old man's training was useless.
Zane was also betting on the fact that Chris wouldn't be able to cast any spells as soon as he broke through.

"What are you doing!?" Chris cried, this was just like that time in the forest. Back then, Zane had also stopped when Chris was just about to breakthrough.
"This is all I can do, absorb this" Zane handed Chris a mana core from the two he was supposed to use himself.
Chris just nodded and took the core before sitting in a cross legged position with the core on his lap. It didn't take long for the mana core to completely disappear.
"I thought it was supposed to take longer than this" Zane mumbled "I guess it's because he is almost there." He guessed.
Something caught his eyes and Zane quickly focused on Chris. What caught his eye was that around Chris' stomach area a mana core started to form.
It started out as small as a finger nail and in five minutes, it grew to the size if a fist before stopping. Then Zane watched in amazement as white streaks suddenly appeared all around the room.
These streaks were obviously mana, The mana was wild and moving all over the place like it was out of control. Zane stretched his hand and touched it.
Surprisingly, Zane quickly pulled his hand away as soon as it touched the mana in the air. "Hot!" Zane mumbled as he stuck his finger in his mouth.
"So that's not mana it's a spell huh" he hypothesized as the white streaks moved towards Chris before entering his newly formed mana core.
<
"Ohhh, so could we say it's fire mana?" Zane asked.
<
Zane nodded as he continued to watch the show. The mana in the air continued turning into fire mana before being absorbed by Chris' core.
About five minutes later the white streaks disappeared and and the room went dark for Zane, except for Chris' mana core that is.
However something else seemed to happen as the white streaks returned, however this time they came from Chris' core instead.
Chris' fire mana then revolved around his body for a few seconds before going back in again, but this time instead of going into Chris' core, they went into the rest of his body.
Zane watched as the mana fused with every part of Chris' body. Zane could actually fully see Chris without blowing or throwing mana himself. It didn't take long for the mana to disappear and Zane was left with only seeing Chris' core.
Zane then blew mana into the room to see better, in case he needed an escape route. That was when Chris opened his eyes and stretched his neck. "Finally, that was annoying" Chris muttered.
"So this is it huh, this is the power of the mage realm" he said as he looked as his own hands. Chris then walked over to a bucket in the corner before looking into it.
"This won't do at all" he said as he touched his slightly wrinkled face. One has to remember that even though his personality was questionable, Chris was an old man.
Zane just stood there in amazement as Chris' short curly hair suddenly became straight and grew longer, until reached his back. It actually reminded Zane of his father.
Then with a wave of his hand, Chris' wrinkled face smoothened out and his freckles immediately disappeared. His pale white skin also got much darker. His skin got the same color as a light skinned African man from earth, of course Zane couldn't see this.
"What!?, come on!. Fuck I guess I can't change the shape of my nose" Chris complained. He wasn't really proud of his flat nose and wanted to change it.
"How do I look?" Chris turned around to face Zane before slowly rotating with his arms in the air.
"Uhh, your long hair suits you, bear in mind your hair is the only thing which changed according to what I can see." Zane answered.
Zane was very cautious at this moment, he feared that Chris might attack any time. He had also told Alex to keep vigilant and help him in case of a surprise attack.
"Yeah I could only change my hair and gave myself a nice tan" Chris said, disappointed "Ohh well I guess the girls will have to settle for the way I am"
"That's great and all dude but don't you think there is something else, you want to test out now that you're a Mage?" Zane said.
"Something else?, did I forget something" Chris dramatically put his hand on his chin and also looked around his body.
"Ohh yeah I can't believe I almost forgot" Chris said. Zane nodded, this was the part he was eager to see. He wanted to see if Chris had a lot of control over his fire to make a real spell or not. However…..
"Ohh yeah that's better" Chris said in satisfaction, he was currently touching around his stomach area. Zame noticed that Chris' potbelly was gone. Chris officially looked like a bonafide 20 year old man.
"Magic Chris!!, do magic!" Zane shouted in frustration.
"Ohh that!" Chris chuckled, "sure, what do you want me to do?" he asked.
"Anything Chris just do something with your fire" Zane rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Okay, fireball" A fireball suddenly appeared on Chris' palm.
"Woah you're already that good!?" Zane nervously said.
"I'm not done yet" Chris surprised Zane.
"Fire triangle" The ball suddenly changed into a triangle made of fire.
"Square"
"Cube"
"Pyramid"
"Trapezium"
"Penis"
"Rectangle"
"Hexagon"
"Star"
Under Zane's amazed eyes, Chris easily turned the fireball into different shapes. Impressively, all the shapes were perfect and the speed at which Chris changed them was fast and fluid.
"This is easier than I thought" Chris mumbled as he played with the fire on his palm. He then glanced at Zane and stared at him with a smile.
The fire on Chris' hand then turned into an arrow.
