"I-I will help you."
Elara spoke with a brave look on her face as she tightened her grip around Vaan's hands.
Seeing that look, Vaan was taken aback, he couldn't understand why this usually timid girl making an expression like that when he was just asking her to teach him magic.
'Is it because I am asking her to teach magic? She has been trying to teach Vaan magic all this while, so is she happy because I am asking it myself?'
Vaan guessed inwardly. Then, he smiled,
'Well, I guess I should show the sa determination.'
Thinking that, Vaan looked into Elara's red eyes and spoke.
"Then let us go inside. We shouldn't waste any more ti."
Elara nodded.
The two then walked into the Magic Training Room.
Seeing this, the other Mages frowned. One of them pointed at them and,
"Wait… isn't that Young Master Vaan? Isn't he only a 1st Circle Mage? How is he allowed to enter the Magic Training Room? Did he sneak in here?"
"Don't be ridiculous, it is impossible to sneak in here, the guards outside aren't just normal guards, they are all high leveled mages loyal to the Vesta Family. There is no way soone like him can fool them and sneak inside. He must have a permit."
"But how did he get the permit? Only 3rd Circle Mages or above can get it."
"Are you really asking that? It must be Lady Astra."
"To show blatant favoritism like this. Am I a fool for working so hard and becoming a 3rd Circle Mage to finally obtain the chance to use the Magic Training Room? How can he use it just because his mother is the head of the Family!? I can't stand it!" the mage shouted. Then, he glanced at Vaan and,
"Hey you! You think just because you are the son of Lady Astra you can do as you please? Also, why do you even want to use the Training Room? Aren't you just a trash who never trains? Even if you plan to waste all your life and do nothing, you shouldn't waste other people's ti.
Now if you understand then stop playing around and co out."
He ordered.
Hearing his words, Vaan paused, he turned around and carefully observed the mage's face. Elara, who was with him panicked, she turned around, wanting to apologize and calm the mage down, however, before she could do so,
Vaan tightened his grip around her hand, then, he walked inside the room, ignoring the mange.
Elara was taken aback by his actions, however, when she finally realized what he had done, she panicked even more,
"Young Master Vaan! He is still outsi-"
However, before she could complete her sentence, Vaan simply closed the door.
"..."
"..."
"…did he just close the door on ?" The mage who was left outside questioned in disbelief.
The other mages just glanced at him with gloating looks on their faces, they didn't care what was happening, however, they were definitely enjoying this.
Feeling embarrassed, the Mage clenched his fists in anger.
'You trash bastard… just you wait…'
Cursing in his head, the Mage simply turned around and walked away.
…
"Why did you close the door? He was still talking."
Inside the Magic Training Room, Elara spoke as she pointed at the door.
"So what?" Vaan, however, just smiled.
"Who was he?" He questioned.
"Huh?" Elara frowned.
"Do you know who he was?" Vaan questioned again.
"I… I do not know…"
Elara lowered her head.
She felt like she should have known who that man was, however,
"Exactly," Vaan spoke up.
"He was a nobody who we have never heard of before, what right does he have to command ? Is he the head of the Family? Or the person in charge of the Magic Training Rooms? Or maybe the head guard here?
If he was just a nobody, then why should we care if he was done talking or not?"
"…" Elara didn't know what to say.
She felt like it was rude to close the door on soone like that.
And Vaan, who knew about her timid personality, knew what she was thinking, therefore, he held both her hands again and,
"Elara, you are a 4th Circle Mage, an exceptional magic prodigy, so act like one. Don't let these small fries affect you, you are far better than them."
Vaan spoke as he looked into Elara's eyes.
Then, a kind smile appeared on his face and,
ραΠdαsΝοvel "And since I have requested your help and you have accepted it,
Only focus on .
Okay?"
"W-What?" Elara's face turned red.
Vaan chuckled.
Then, he moved back and sat on the chair,
"Shall we start our lecture then? Although talking like this is extrely enjoyable, the ti we have is severely limited."
"R-Right! I ca here to teach you!" Elara recalled.
"I am looking forward to your lecture, teacher," Vaan spoke.
He was expecting Elara to blush again, however, suddenly, the air around Elara changed,
"Cast a spell in front of ."
She ordered.
Vaan raised his eyebrow in surprise but he did what Elara said, the Mana around him rushed inside his body, it then circulated all around his body through his Mana Veins, and the Magic Circle was ford.
Vaan then drew the Magic Patterns inside the Circle using his Mana, soon, the temperature rose up and the flas erupted.
Elara observed the entire process carefully, Vaan, who was now looking at her for feedback, noticed her surprised expression as she turned towards him and comnted,
"Your Magic Circle… it is different from what you used a year ago."
"You… you rember the Circle I used all those months ago?" Vaan questioned with a surprised look on his face.
Every Magic Circle was different, the patterns 'drawn' inside it are a result of a person's own interpretation and understanding of Magic. This is why nobody can simply copy a Mage's Magic Circle and cast the exact sa spell.
Of course, rembering soone's Magic Circle was not that big of a deal, for mages who spent most of their lives drowning themselves in books, it was quite simple, however, since it was absolutely useless to do so and a mage himself had to rember quite a lot of things he needs to rember, not many mages rember other mage's circles.
Vaan doubted if even Astra rembered his previous Magic Circle…
Elara, on the other hand...
"W-Well… it was your first Magic Circle… so…"
