Days passed by as Jake learned her spells under Grace's guidance, and with the help of his Light Authority, he was able to master each of her spells within a month. This caused her to look at him as if he were some kind of monster.
"Seriously, Jake," Grace said one evening, shaking her head in disbelief as he flawlessly executed a complex spell she had taught him just a few days earlier. "I've never seen anyone learn so quickly. It's like you were born to wield light magic."
Jake shrugged modestly. "I guess I just have a knack for it. Plus, your teaching methods are excellent."
Grace rolled her eyes but couldn't hide a smile. "Flattery will get you everywhere, but it doesn't change the fact that you're mastering spells in days that took me years to perfect."
Jake grinned. "Well, having a great teacher helps. And let's not forget about the Light Authority—it definitely gives me an edge."
