After lunch, Ilario went to training ground for the physical training. He felt tried just thinking of yesterday, More importantly, Queen Agnes told him not to use healing magic until finished all of training sets.

Oliver waiting for Ilario at the training ground, prepared the same thing as yesterday. The physical trainings were double from yesterday, even the stone bracelets were more weight.

“Is this a way of training a child like me?” thought Ilario but training obediently as Oliver said. Ilario could done training sets faster but felt tireless, it was amazing that his strength was fast increasing.

“It’s just warmed up, you need to do the same in double for the next day of training, the weight of stone bracelets would be increasing continually. We have more special training after your body warmed up, for today, climbs this tree 10 times. I will teach you how to do it, it was easy.” said Oliver.

“Climbs the tree? God. If I fallen down? Easy for you but not for me, you know?” thought Ilario anxiously, he observed Oliver closely and listened to his methods carefully, the main point was finding the rough at tree truck to claim to its branches and did the same when go down, it was good thing that he prepared the small tree and made it shape that more easier to claim up.

Ilario started climb up the tree slowly, its skin was rough and scratched Ilario’s skin, he could not stop but climb up to the top; the height was around 3-4 meters.

“Were there any safety tools to support me in case of falling down?” thought Ilario while reaching nearly to the top, he misstepped, “whoa..”, it was lucky that he could caught the branch near him on time, his heart felt exploded, scared of falling down for real. He thought that he need to prepare for activating wind magic power in case of emergency, at least it could make him falling down softly. Oliver observed but do nothing, it would be better for him to careful and prepare himself ready for all kind of situation. — It was hard for the first and second time of climb up, the third time, he climbed up more faster, after that it was more easier for him, his body could adapted and climbed up more smoothly.

“Tomorrow would be harder, prepare yourself.” said Oliver with smiled after finished today training.

Ilario’s body was aching and hurting from scratched, He activated “Instant Heal”, the aching were gone, all of wounds disappeared without trace.

The next day, Ilario went to Queen’s Treehouses as usually, Mr. Mercury was in chart of teaching him today.

“I’ve heard that you are genius in magic controlling from Queen Agnes yesterday, the magic theory would be short cut and it was better to teach you more knowledges that could help you adapt and use it for real in the future.” said Mr. Mercury and started the lesson.

“The other day, you already learned about Magic Core and Magic Energy; today, I will explain more about spirit and magic stone, the natural resources that related to Magic Energy. — This world created by Zues, King of gods, there were plenty of naturals in the beginning of this world. Zues created spirits to protect and generated the natural raw, it was the important parts of life cycle in this world. The spirits always stay around the naturals; the plenty of naturals, the more of spirits. The spirits also have types as same as Magic Energy, to make it clear, Magic Energy was occurred by spirits. — We did not called Magic Energy by spirit energy because the Ordinarius, even some Magus could not see spirits. Only the Magus that loves by spirits could see it and There was no theory that what kind of person that spirits loves, that why we did not called spirit energy.”

“Did you have been seen once?” Ilario asked curiously.

“I could see it, they sometime show up themselves, only Queen Agnes usually talks to world tree spirit including other spirit kings and queens” said Mr. Mercury.

“Do human know about the spirits?” asked Ilario.

“There were some Magus of human race could saw spirit but they kept it secret, even they talk to others, it was hard to believe because most of humans could not see spirits even the spirits stay in front of them.” said Mr. Mercury and explained more.

“The spirits were also separated by element types; there were spirit king or queen, high, medium and low level spirit in each element. The Water Spirit Queen “Aqua”, The Wind Spirit King “Ventus”, The Earth Spirit Queen, “Terra” and The Fire Spirit King “Ignis”, they rule the other spirits in their element. — The spirits alway stay at area that have a lot of natural sources of their element type, for example, water spirits alway stay at the river or the area that have much water. The plenty of natural area, there were many spirit types; when there were group of spirits, its energy was leaking and generating the Magic Energy itself.”

“The magic stone also occurred by nature and spirit energy but in long term. The Magic Energy occurred and flow as the natural but the magic stone occurred when it process by natured itself in long period of time. Think about the stone mine, the process was same but plus with spirit energy in its process, that what we called Magic Stone. — Everyone could use magic stone but the effective were different. The Ordinarius could use the magic stone with medium to make its power leaking, because the magic stone was occurred by Magic Energy accumulation in long period of time, more power than Magic Energy, and much more enough for the Ordinarius to use its leaking power and no need to activate, that why the Ordinarius applied it with home appliance and required of changing when the power was out. — It was difference matter when using by Magus, it could be use for boosting Magic Power much more effective than Magic Energy that circulating around by natural, the magic power could be boost up to 50%. It was also possible for more power boost up than 50%, but it was hard to find that kind of Magic Stone.”

“In additional, Magus could make magic stone themselves by input their magic power into the stone but the power was limit and up to Magus’s Magic power and the strength of stone, we call it “Artificium”; if Magus input too much magic power in the stone that could not resist its power, it would be broken. Normally the stones have its limit of strength of each type, it was common use in gemstone and made it be accessories, because of its limit power, Magus always use it for power back up or emergency case, it could use only 1 time, then the gemstone broken in significant of lost its power. The Ordinary also can use the same, they alway use for protecting themselves in emergency case because of its price was quite expensive.”

“How The Ordinarius use artificium? As I knew from you that only Magus could activate Magic Power.” asked Ilario.

“It need condition when input magic power in gemstone, it was hard to make it succeed for usable by The Ordinarius, that why it made the selling price quite high; For example, the easiest way, break the gemstone for power activated, or in advance way, put some trick on accessory to release the magic power smoothly and not hurt the user. The stone is medium for collecting magic power and release when it broken. — The Aritifcium was total different from Magic Stone, it made by compressed magic power into stone one time, its power explode when the medium broken, meanwhile, The Magic Stone occurred from natural, its power leaking bit by bit itself, it was not explode when it broken because it was power from natural, it would be lost its power by itself up to period of time or the frequency of usage.” said Mr. Mercury and informed Ilario “From tomorrow onwards, no more theory lesson but you can ask any questions by coming here anytime, Mr. Marius will teach you the magic controlling at the training ground, he was great at attack and defence magic power, he could guild you better than me.”

###

The afternoon training were harder than yesterday like Oliver said, the weight of bracelets were all increased, running 50 laps, real sword training 200 times, run across the wood log 50 rounds, climb the tree 20 times. It made Ilario sweated and rested for a while.

“I will teach you how to shoot the arrow.” said Lyra, she came with the wood bow and arrows, “Come here and see my posture, stand and assume the stance, load the arrow with it nock, rise and draw string bow toward face as much as you can, hold and point to the target and then release arrow.”

Lyra explained and show Ilario the posture step by step closely and asked Ilario to try after her. Ilario followed her step and shoot arrow to the archery target but missed, the arrow fallen down before reaching to the target. Ilario thought that he might did something wrong or his body was not strength enough.

“You did not draw the string hard enough, try again.” said Lyra.

Ilario drawn string harder, he used all of his strength, then shot arrow to the target, this time, it could reach to target but could not hit to the inner centre, it hit to outer of target instead.

“You drawn hard but out of focus, try again, focus your eyes on target, hold the bow after drawn the string, point the bow as follow as your eyes focus on and release the arrow.” said Lyra.

Ilario drawn the arrow again, concentrated and focus on the inner target, then shot with all of his strength; it hit near the inner centre.

“Good, try to focus and practice more.” said Lyra.

Ilario shot arrow many times, his hand start bleeding from scratch of string, the arrow hits were close the inner but still not centre of the target.

“That’s enough for today.” said Lyra.

Ilario’s hand was hurt and bled, he healed himself after Lyra and Oliver gone.
