Despite the tornt however, Kite had benefited greatly. In the first place, he was able to cast the most rudintary levels of magic from the four elents, his mastery with pyromancy had reached a middling level of proficiency. He was also capable of the Crystal Wall of hydromancy, Gale Guard from aeromancy, Rampart Wall from geomancy, and even the spell Crazy had created, Glacial Downpour (A spell from the fusion of cryomancy and hydromancy), and the Zephyr Edge from aeromancy. Even the flight spell was not monopolized by Jerry, Kite was capable of that too afterwards.
The competitive streak in Jerry had been ignited after he saw Kites accomplishnts. For a person like Jerry, there wasnt much that could bother him at all.
But if one were to talk about who benefited most from Crazy, it was not Kite, but another person. Do not assu it was Elric! He had been the most disastrous of the group and had been forced to drink dicine after dicine and zapped with lightning almost daily. It was in fact Belladonna who learned the most. With such an opportunity, she had already managed to improve the spell Crazy taught her to clean into sothing that could heal and stimulate the body. With continuous practice, she was able to have a more profound grasp on the magic. There were no shortages of targets to practice on as well. With Kite and Elric being constantly injured and the mountain of clothes she had yet to wash, her heart would forever ache at those mories.
The saddest of the three acolytes had been Elric. His training had been exceedingly normal; take dicine, and eat all kinds of herbs. Because Jerry had been the one with the most idle ti, he would often help Crazy out with all sorts of dicine preparation and herb mixing. Sotis, Jerry had seen what effects it had had on Elric and would sotis lose his appetite for the day. These dicines hadnt helped Elric in the least with his problem and instead confused him. As a result, Elric had begun to doubt the sincerity of Crazy.
It was because of this unclear situation that Elric had finally mustered up the courage to go and ask Crazy to change his training.
Afterwards, Crazy had straight out changed Elrics training to ditation under the influence of electrical shocks. Instead of being free to do whatever under Elrics initial training, Jerry was now stuck with nursing after Elric and making sure that the frequency of the shocks were steady and strong. From there, Jerrys appetite went from going every three or five days without appetite to being able to only stomach a small amount every day. From that, one was able to understand just how effective the training was.
A dozen days or so with this new electrical shock training could not be said to be fruitless. Elric had felt his ntal fortitude be many tis stronger than before. And in terms of ntal might, he was probably as strong as an adept. Crazy had explained that being able to ditate under the shock of lightning for a single day was roughly equivalent to three straight months worth of ditating under normal circumstances. Kite ca to the sa realization after going through a similar training regi as well. But this had also left him unable to use magic still. As things stood, a consistent shock of lightning would disperse mana instead of gathering it.
This had ant that not only was ditating under the shock of lightning useless to Elrics problem, it made his problem even worse.
So Crazy had taken the initiative to change the training regi. But like a bird frightened by the twang of a bow, Elric had been afraid to see what ca next.
Two months passed in this fashion. (In this ti, Belladonna was nearly finished with her work, but the clothes she had left to clean were still at a halfway point. So she continued to work while committing to her food duties). Her relationship with Crazy had deepened during this ti period as well.
Many tis before, Elric and Kite had wished to inquire to Crazy about several things. That battle of magic she had displayed once was still fresh on their minds.
One day, Kite could handle it no longer and took the opportunity to ask her a question during the supper al.
Master Crazy, Ive never understood how you are able to cast magic without ever speaking the incantations for it. Kite asked.
I do say it though! Crazy replied. Raising her right hand normally, she gave a sharp shout and let forth a ball of fire from her palm.
Does that an that shout is the incantation? Elric actually ca to such a conclusion so ti ago.
Indeed! If you can chant the incantation with as short of a ti as possible, youve mastered it. Crazy replied.
So, the change in your voice is because of. Belladonna started.
You cant make an olette without breaking a few eggs. For the first ti since they t her, Crazy had a serious expression on her face.
Then how are you able to use magic from all four elents at once? Kite pressed on.
I wasnt. I just swap the rate in which my magic flows to what is needed, thats all. Crazy replied.
Would I be able to do that too? When it ca to anything that could further increase his strength, Kite was all ears about it.
Of course. We just need to put you under an operation and split apart your mind and mana. If youre willing to try that is. Crazy replied.
Splitting my mind! Kites face went green.
Of course. If we dont do that, then how would you be able to attune yourself to the four elents. Why do you think that wolf has three heads?
Then being able to cast magic one after another like that is because of this concept? Elric hurriedly tried to change the topic so that they wouldnt stay on topic about it. It was then he realized this was why this person was so crazy.
Correct. By using two different types of ditation and so extra help, I am able to gather mana and cast magic quickly.
What a wonderful magus you are to be able to invent such a different way of magic casting. Kite sighed.
It wasnt that invented it, but the hired helper of my master. Crazy smirked.
The four acolytes had been speechless to hear that.
For the longest ti, no one had responded until Belladonna did, Who was your master, and who could possibly be such a great helper like that?
My master was the Grand Magister Naga. You should know about such a person. As for the helper, hes a very vile person. Crazys face grew malicious at her words.
Magister Naga? I know that the helper of grand magister Naga was another grand magister from Monteda, grand magister Cecilia. Thanks to Kites noble heritage, he was far more knowledgeable of the identities of other people.
No, not Cecilia, but Cecilia is quite repulsive too.
But if such a person was able to create such a style of magic like that, then no matter who the person was, we shouldve learned of such a person still. Kite spoke.
That person only wishes to enjoy the finest food, wine, and won until he keels over. Whats terrifying is his social manners, and his morals are equally disgusting. Even the won who he gropes have far more skill than he does in magic. Not a single woman under my masters care had escaped from his evil clutches. Crazy vented furiously as the previously repressed mories of the past ca flying back.
At such a description, Belladonnas face had gone scarlet and Kites eyes had opened wide in shock as if in disbelief that such a person could even exist. Elric on the other hand, had a bad feeling about this.
Well, what was that persons na? Jerry asked.
Victor. As soon as Crazy spoke that na, a series of coughs could be heard as spit and food erged from the mouths of the four.
Seeing that the four students were desperately trying to hold down their coughs at the sa ti and were no longer eating, Crazy had not gotten angry about it.
It seems that there is a connection between you four and Victor? Crazys voice had gone exceedingly gentle.
No, not with . But Victor is Elrics master. Jerry had been the epito of an unscrupulous rchant at this current montselling out his friend at a very crucial mont.
Yes yes. Belladonna nodded her head as well. It seems that the priestess in the making had not wished to sour the relationship she had spent such a long ti trying to make.
Kite didnt say anything, but he had instead moved farther away from Elric. When his parents had taught Kite to forge ahead with conviction, he had taken it to heart.
From what was said earlier, Elric could guess that the person Crazy had ntioned was indeed his master.
Crazy might have been speaking with a gentle voice, but her eyes had a bright spark in it, and a spark of fire had ignited over her finger. This was more than enough to let everyone know that she was about to explode.
Elric, Ive just thought of a way thatll definitely let you learn how to use magic. Haha HAHAHA! Shrill laughter made its way through the room, and everyone could tell that Crazy had gone mad with delight.
But Elric hadnt been listening as he had instead chosen to faint dead away.
