The next day, Ilario went to meet Queen Agnes firstly, she said she had something to talk to him before the next level of training.

“You came, I read the progress report of your training. The result was extraordinary and your progress was faster than I thought. Some advance practice you still passed through it. The next level of training for both of magic practical and physical training would be stress on real fight with your opponent. We will practice you to fight by instinct and could activate magic power naturally. I casted the barrier at the training ground already, fight hard as much as you could, so we could observe and recommend you right away,” said Queen Agnes.

Ilario went to training ground, Mr. Marius was already there, the training ground changed to be a small arena. Mr. Marius was excellent for fighting with magic power, he is a high elf with high level of magic core. Ilario still far away to fight and win against him for now.

“Your opponent today would be this one,” said Mr. Marius while made the big golem, its height around 3 meters.

The golem making rocks and throwing it to Ilario, he dodged with wind speed and activated "Wind Barrier" continued with "Fire Ball" shot at the golem head, it got some damage and attacked Ilario back by throwing the bigger rocks, some rock passed through his wind barrier and scratched his arm. Ilario activated "Fire Breath" with higher fire magic power to attacked the golem, hoped that would be final blow, the golem got high damaged but it regenerated itself. — It was not easy, Ilario thought that earth type could not resisted fire. The wind barrier could not resist the earth but he needs its speed, he has to finished it quickly. — Ilario activated "Fire Burn" to burn the body of golem continually until it could not be regenerated. Ilario was exhausted of too much using his magic power.

“Good job, you did really well. I tricked you by regenerated the golem and you found out the way to destroy it yourself. Take some rest, I will teach you how to combine the magic power,” said Mr. Marius, smiled proudly.

“Thank you, sir,” said Ilario and rested for a while.

“The way to mix many types of magic, started with 2 types of element, it would be guideline when you mix more than that, you could mix element types of magic freely. — The Ice Magic Power, it was mixing by wind and water, try to activate each type for both of your hand, make wind circulating as fast as you could, then pour water into it, the shape will became ice crystal; the principle of ice was cold temperature and water, we need to make cool air by speed of wind and need water to make it to be ice.” explained Mr. Marius while showing Ilario how to activate Ice Magic Power.

Ilario followed Mr. Marius by activated both of wind and water magic power, he speeded the wind first, then, release water magic inside the wind, it shapes continually change to be small ice crystal, he could succeed for the first try but he thought that it was quite slow to make it succeed.

“This time, try to make it faster by generate the process inside your body and activate the Ice Magic in one shot,” said Mr. Marius.

Ilario concentrated and gathered the magic power inside his body and imagined of the ice crystal, then activated, he was succeeded in one shot. He thought that he knew its key, the knowledge of natural plus with imagination, it could be activated easier.

“You really have a good sense, next, the Thunder Magic, it was mixing of Fire, Water and Wine; the principle of Thunder was occurred by the natural process of evaporated to be cloud, the high speed of wind circulated inside cloud and made the friction between water drop and ice, caused the heat and shock wave and release to be thunder. Try to active the Thunder Magic with this principle.”

Ilario repeated the process again and again for a while, concentrated with Fire Water and Wind, gathered power inside his body and imagined of lighting. — “Boom” the loud sound of thunder, Ilario was frighten of its sound, his hand bled with high damage of magic exploded, fortunately, he was on posture of shooting, the thunder lighting attacked the barrier. He understood completely today why Queen Agnes told him not to mix the magic type before 8 years old, I could burn myself with the magic explode. Ilario activated "Regenerate" to regenerate his hand, it was severe damage.

“Did you hurt yourself? It must be hard for you to control fire power when mixing with other types,” said Mr. Marius.

Ilario’s hand completely healed after Mr. Marius asked. He was surprised of magic exploded but thanks to his healing magic or else he has to be suffered from burning wound.

“My hand got burned from the power exploded but I already healed it, sir.” said Ilario.

“It’s enough for today, we will practice again tomorrow. You already succeed to activate Thunder Magic but you need reduce more power of fire, the result would be perfect next time,” said Mr. Marius.

***

Ilario felt better after got some rest, he used magic power too much today, the afternoon fight would be more exhausted for sure.

Ilario went to the training ground, Oliver was waiting there and prepared real dagger knives for both of us to fight. Ilario warmed up his body and prepared himself to fight with Oliver. All of training that Ilario got from Oliver in last 3 years, he has to use it all for today.

Ilario and Oliver on guard and ready to fight, Oliver attacked Ilario first, Ilario dodged and blocked Oliver with dagger knives in his two hands, Oliver’s attacked was fast and hard, he used dagger knife in his left hand attacked Ilario continually after Ilario blocked his first attacked, Ilario dodged and attacked him back but Oliver could dodge his attacked. — Oliver attacked continually, Ilario could only blocked and dodged and run with no chance of attack back. Ilario try to find his weak spots but could not concentrated because of Oliver attacked him nonstop and slashed on his left arm. — Ilario concentrated and on guarded, he needs more tactic and attacked him on weak spot, Oliver attacked Ilario harder. Ilario learned his movement and guessed for next attack, he deceived him for blocking posture and changed his movement when Oliver attacked, Ilario bent down and slashed on side of his right leg and attacked his back continually but Oliver turned to Ilario for blocked and attacked him back, his dagger knife was at Ilario’s neck. — Ilario lost again.

“You improved a lot, one slashed on me,” said Oliver proudly.

“I still far from you, I knew you were restrained yourself from attacked.” Ilario said while healing his wound and Oliver’s wound.

“Next, you will compete archery with me, the rule was hit the moving targets, there were mark on your arrows. The rule is simple, count the number who can hit the targets the most,” said Lyra.

Oliver activated magic to make the targets flow in the air as same as flying birds. Ilario shot the targets as fast as he could, Lyra was really great and fast at shooting, he needs to reduce the number of scores compared. — As the resulted, Lyra got 15 targets and Ilario got 9 targets, his result was better. Normally he could hit the targets less than half of her targets.

The next morning, Mr. Marius activated Fire in shape of griffin, it could fly like the real one and could breathe fire. — Ilario activated "Wind Dragon Wing" and "Wind Barrier" flying and prepare for air battle, the fire griffin breathed fire to Ilario continually, Ilario activated "Water Shoot" attacked its body, as expected it could regenerate, it flew to attacked Ilario, Ilario dodged and activate "Wind Storm" to make water magic more powerful with wind magic and swallow all of griffin body.

“You are fluent in elements, that are the main point of fighting in magic, find its weakness and attack. You have a good sense of fighting. Then, practice more about Thunder Magic, reduce fire energy from yesterday and activate it again,” said Mr. Marius.

Ilario activated Thunder Magic and shoot out, it was still powerful but not exploded like yesterday.

“Great, keep controlling like this. Remember, any types of magic that mixing with Fire and Light, you need to control and release it less than other type to make the power balance and not exploded like last time, anyway, do not worry too much because your body resistance will be increasing as your age, and no more explode,” said Mr. Marius.

The fighting with Oliver today harder, Ilario could not hit him even one slash, it might be because Ilario told Oliver that he restrained his attacked yesterday, but it was better for Ilario to improve himself more in this way.

After fought with Oliver, Lyra set the training ground with many targets that made by iron.

“I will you teach you how to shoot the arrow with wind magic,” said Lyra. “Hold one of arrow first, then release wind magic cover the arrow, the more magic power, the faster and more damage, shoot the arrow together with magic.”

Lyra shot the target with magic, it was hit the inner center, break through target and hit the barrier.

Ilario followed her and shot with wind magic, the results were same as Lyra. She turned to me with surprised looked. She always guided me like military and left without any word or any reaction in the past 3 years. Ilario also surprised that she surprised when he could do the same.

“Good, hit the moving target next,” said Lyra.

It was easy for Ilario when it comes to magic, he hit all targets quite fast. Lyra asked him to complete with her, the same rule as yesterday, the results was draw, Lyra got 12 targets and Ilario got 12 targets.

“You are a talent,” said Lyra calmly.

“Thank you” said Ilario.

“Whoa…you are the first, she praised to,” said Oliver teasingly.

“Shut up Oliver,” said Lyra and left, her ears were a bit red.

Lyra might be some kind of stubborn and high standard, it was good thing that she could be friendlier. Lyra did not talk to Ilario much, maybe someday he could ask of what she done to make him lost consciousness when she helped him in the kidnapped incident.
