《The folly of a failed magician》Chapter 14 – First practice
Advertisement
[What the hell] Sylvia thought, seeing with her elven eyes, Riana's mana taking shape in her body. [In the magic combat class, I knew it was something of a high level, but seeing it up close confirms my suspicions, it is impressive ... but it only remains to be seen if it really works] term of admiring Sylvia.
And then, a minute after the process began, the arrangement that was forming inside Riana, finished forming and settling.
"Uff ready, I'm done."
"Didn't you say it took you about 10 seconds? It's been like a minute," Sylvia complained.
"Sylvia, don't rush, Riana maybe has an explanation, doesn't she?" Arthur defended.
"Yes, I can explain it, 10 seconds is more or less what I take preparing something simple, this is more complicated but it provides me with more power, speed and defense explained Riana.
"Well, let's provide it," Sylvia said, then immediately fired a mana ball at her, which hit inches from Riana's body, dispersing in midair as a result.
"Hey what's wrong with you!" Riana said after the scare, but intact.
"I was testing, and it seems to work, how strong was it?" Sylvia said as if nothing had happened.
"Well, I just felt a little shock like it was the magic suits, but that's not the point."
"Yeah, don't complain, I was just testing the defense," Sylvia said.
"That's not the point," Riana continued.
"Hey, calm down now, and Sylvia, please apologize, that was not correct," Arthur intervened.
"Well, well, sorry, damn, if you get upset easily," Sylvia said, then continued, "Well, if you're already happy, let's continue; you say you are stronger and quicker show it, how about you take a turn or two to see.
"You're impossible, anyway, look," Riana said, and then began to run at an impressive speed.
"Like that really works," Sylvia said.
"Uju, I already knew it was good," Arthur agreed.
"Well, even if it works, it doesn't mean he fights well," Sylvia said.
When Riana finished the second round, she returned happily as a girl waiting for a prize.
"Well, how are you, happy?"

"Yes, okay, just something missing, that you know how to fight, now come hit me, as you want, do not worry, remember that we are wearing the enchanted costumes" Sylvia said.
"really?"
"Yes really."
"Umm, good, excellent."
And immediately, Riana after saying that, gave her a blow to Sylvia's face, in revenge for the previous blow, but before arriving, this blow hit with a magic barrier, which gave way to the blow without greatly diminishing the He intensified his fist, but nevertheless, his blow easily evaded by Sylvia who only tilted her head to one side, who then without waiting for Riana's action, expelled her mana in such a way that she made Riana fall backwards.
"Umm, it was a very good shot, too bad it was predictable," Sylvia said smiling.
"Damn," Riana said on the floor, then got up.
"So do you have more? I don't know, cast a spell or something? Or does that arrangement only make you stronger?"
"Oh, of course not," Riana said, raising her hand towards Sylvia, and from this a ball of energy was generated in a matter of moments, which once formed, shot straight to Sylvia, but like her blow, it hit with a wall of mana, with the small detail that this time instead of going through it, it only damaged it.
"But what if this had to be stronger" Riana complained
"Umm yeah, that's what I supposed, that's why I put a harder one" Sylvia said smiling with victory, then continued
"Umm well, ask, is that the most?"
"Well no, I can generate shots 10 times more powerful, but I think that would be extreme now" explained Riana
"I see, so that's it? You don't have something more prepared or something," Sylvia said.
"Well if I have, this arrangement covers only this, I know some more that cover other specific things like some attacks from a distance, or shields," Riana commented.
"That's good, we'll see later with time. Now, one last thing, how light a 10 second version is it?"
"That only provides an increase in strength, let's say half of it,nothing more."

"Umm, already ..." Sylvia began to meditate for a while.
"So, everything okay?" Riana said, but she didn't answer him.
"Sylvia," Riana called again, but the answer is the same.
"Sylvia, what's wrong?" Said Arthur, but this time he received an answer.
"There is already, I was thinking, don't you see? Anyway, in my opinion, Riana, you have the necessary strength, although you lack 2 things, knowing how to fight and that this power is useful in battle, it is difficult to wait 1 minute to you're ready.
"Well, I can't deny the second, but how to fight? How do you know if you haven't even seen me?"
"Little reindeer, your battle against Gray gives you away, not even Arthur can deny it or yes Arthur."
In saying that Arthur, I hesitate to respond, grabbing Riana to get restless and intervene.
"Arthur, do you think so too?"
"Well ... I think you have great potential."
"Ahh," Riana was slightly saddened by Arthur's words, and the worst thing was that she was clear that she didn't know how to fight.
"But cheer up, with practice you will reach glory," said Arthur.
"I agree with Arthur, even if you're disgusting now, with practice you should improve, besides being a beast, it shouldn't be so difficult to learn how to fight" Sylvia consoled.
"Yes ..." Riana said surprised.
"Well, we don't have much left, now Arthur and then me follow, and that would be all for today, since, today I just wanted to know its general scope to make a better schedule" said Sylvia.
"Sounds good to me," said Arthur.
"And me," said Riana.
"Well, Arthur, it's your turn, although I've seen a lot of your powers already, but Riana should at least see them," Sylvia said.
"Okay, here I go," said Arthur, then moved away from them for a while and then said.
"You probably have noticed by now, but my way of fighting is that of a magic swordsman, I reinforce my body with body magic, I fight mainly with an obvious sword, but this one always infused my mana to make cuts at distances among other things with my sword as a catalyst, and lastly with my mana I can make some energy bullets, that would be it, even if it is little, I think I have been able to extract juice from this, well I am going to start" Arthur explained.
Finished the explanation, Arthur formed with his mana a sword in his right hand and then said realizing something.
"Oh yes, I can do this too, now I can start."
Having finished those words, behind him appeared a 3 mana spheres floating on his back, and then began to swing his sword in the air with great fluidity and firmness, until after a few seconds he finished his swing, with a slash side of which, a mana blade emerged, which flew to the end of the field accompanied by the spheres; and when hitting the wall, these dissipated, but not before providing a strong impact, which was felt by his 2 friends.
"Uff I suppose, that would be all, how are you?"
"Great," I admire Riana.
"Hehe thanks Riana, and your Sylvia?"
"It was good, but I already knew about the classes. Now I'm coming."
Sylvia ended up speaking, who replaced Arthur from where he was, and when he was there he said.
"Well, my simple thing, in essence I am a sorceress, so I do several spells, also to denote, I dominate the sorcery of the 4 elements, so in combat I am very versatile, now look."
Having finished speaking, she concentrated a little, and then a great gust of wind arose from her, as the first of many spells.
"Well I think it would be all for now, but although I focus on attacks from a distance, I also know body magic to cover that gap, now as we all introduce ourselves, it would be all for today, but before we leave, we are going to discuss the schedules" Explained Sylvia without leaving spaces for comments since she, full of herself knew that her companions had no criticism, being a wise thought, since in Arthur and Riana's mind, they had no complaints about their abilities.
