1061 Words
Whitebolt and Rekka started heading towards the training place.
-Where are we going? – Asked Rekka.
-It's a flat place where training will be easy.
They arrived. It was big place, flattened out with magic. No obstacle was is the way.
-Did you eat? – Asked Whitebolt.
-Yes. Maids made me breakfast.
Whitebolt smiled.
-Let's start with the basics. Can you concentrate MP in the palm of your hand?
Rekka remembered what Akio taught him. He took a stance, put his arm out and supported it with his other arm. A small, blue ball appeared in his hand. Rekka seemed proud.
-So you have already mastered MP control, impressive. Did someone already tutor you before me?
Rekka got down.
-It was my dad. He saved me multiple times, but I couldn't save him once. – His eyes started to tear up.
-Sorry for bringing it up. – Whitebolt but his hand on Rekkas shoulder – If you know that much MP control, I think its time.
-Time for what? – The boy got confused.
-Wait for me. – Whitebolt stood up and left – He already knows that much. This won't be as hard. – He thought.
He went down in his basement without anyone noticing. In the basement room, where he kept Rekka, he took out a brick. Inside was a shelf full with scrolls.
-Should I give him this? Is he strong enough to withstand it? – He remembered the side effects of the scroll he used. – It's not like that time, he is strong.
He took out a red scroll with a dragon symbol and a couple of others. When Whitebolt returned, he saw Rekka training MP control.
-Hey kid, I have presents.
Rekka ran to him.
-What are those? – Asked the young boy.
-These are scrolls, magic ones to be specific. Reading or activating these scrolls will give you the powers it holds.
Rekkas face got bright.
-Am I using them? – Kid was excited.
-Yes. I brought one High Tier scroll and two Weak Tiers. Weak Tiers will give you weak LVL 1 speed magic and healing magic. The High Tier one, this scroll... - Whitebolt was thinking if he should give Rekka the scroll.
-Yes? – He made the kindest smile. His red teeth were showing.
Whitebolt gave in.
-This scroll is named Dragons Breath. The scroll was found was found in a Fire Dungeon located in Timil. After defeating the stage 15 main dragon, this was found in the loot. It costed 3 platinum coins and will give you powers rivaling of that dragon.
-Is 3 platinum a lot?
-You can probably buy an small village with that kind of money.
Rekkas eyes shined brightly.
-Are you gifting it to me?
-Yes kid, I promised to help you get back your powers. This much money isn't even much for me. Here, take these two first. – He handed out the weak scrolls. – Activating these are easy. Just concentrate MP into them.
Rekka followed Whitebolts instructions. After pouring MP in them, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine and blood surging in his veins.
-Did you feel it? – Asked Whitebolt.
-Yes!
-To use speed magic, when running, concentrate MP in your legs.
Rekka got ready and ran.
-Focus, focus! – Rekka was repeating in his mind.
While running, Rekkas legs felt lighter, as if wind was pushing him. He was running noticeably faster.
-Good job kid! – Shouted Whitebolt from afar. – He is a fast learner, heh.
-I'm running so fast!
Rekka tried to stop, but couldn't control himself and fell down, scraping his knees. Whitebolt ran to him.
-You will soon get used to it. – He noticed Rekka was hurt – Not trying to be mean, but this is the perfect opportunity to test your healing magic. Get your hands near your knees. Concentrate MP, but this time, with the intention to heal. This might be hard for your first try.
Rekka tried to do it, but couldn't.
-Watch me closely. – Said Whitebolt.
He moved his hands to Rekkas knees and kneeled. His hands started go glow green. The pain started go away. When Rekka looked down, the injury was fully healed.
-Whoa! – Rekka was amazed.
-You will soon learn it. Now, the main scroll, get up.
He helped Rekka to stand up and handed the scroll.
-You need to just read the words written on it. It's written in Japanese. You know how to read, right?
-Yes. My older sister taught me.
Whitebolt was nervous.
-Good luck, Rekka.
Rekka opened the scroll. There was a yellow magic circle in the middle of the red paper. On the bottom was written the activation words in black.
-I'm going to start. – Said Rekka in excitement – May the lava from beneath fill my veins. May the red flames from the depths of hell be in my control. The dragons fire, the dragons breath will become my own. For I am its master, and its creator.
Rekkas face started to get red. His blood started boiling.
-REKKA! ARE YOU OKAY!? – Whitebolt got terrified. – DON'T DIE ON ME!
-What? – Rekka got confused and scared.
Whitebolt got even more confused than Rekka.
-You are you still alive! Your blood is boiling!
-Oh. I don't feel it. I have complete immunity to fire. – Rekka giggled.
Whitebolts jaw dropped.
-You don't cease to surprise me every day. – He started laughing because of relief – Go on, try your new powers. You should already know how to control fire.
Rekka was thrilled. He put his arm out and, created a fireball.
-It feels completely different! It's so much easier! – Rekka started to throw fireballs in the air, and even created a huge beam of fire – I have complete control over it!
-Heh. It's because the power you were controlling earlier was from the demon inside you. You are now controlling your own powers and have complete authority over them.
-WOOHOO! – Rekka was running with speed magic and throwing fireballs in the air – I don't remember the last time I had this much fun!
Whitebolt sat down and was watching the kid from far away.
-Today, I'm going to let him have fun. Tomorrow, we're going to start real training.
Whitebolt giggled.
