After a few more monsters like Orcs, Imps, and Bad Bats, Sona, Aika, and Koneko decided to take on groups of these monsters that only Kisuke and dusa are fighting. Kisuke asked dusa to supervise them as she has a lot more experience than the three young girls and it would be helpful for them if she can pass them so of her knowledge regarding responding to different situations.
After the four left, Kisuke and Line beca alone. Due to this, Line beca slightly nervous as she anticipated Kisuke's next instructions.
"How far have you practiced magic?" Kisuke asked first.
"Sona-san asked to feel the flow of Mind… Mana inside when I cast magic. I practiced until late at night yesterday until I can properly observe the movents of Mana without risking myself causing an Ignis Fatuus."
"Mind showing your magic?"
Line nodded at him and cast healing magic on him. Kisuke observed the magic and Line herself and nodded at her, "Good. Now I have an idea where you are. And I have a way for you to improve fast, however, it'll be dangerous. Of course, there's an easy and safe way, but that would take months or years of hard work. What will it be?"
"Which would you recomnd?" Instead of deciding by herself, Line asked. Although she's tempted to do the hard and fast thod, she doesn't actually know if that's the best for her and her future.
'Hooh… This is great. She can beco an asset sooner than I expected. She'll also help create connection to the Loki Familia. Sona and the rest really found soone interesting.' Kisuke thought and said, "Either is fine as it would result in the sa thing."
"Then I want to improve fast! I'm already hovering around level 2 for a very long ti now."
"Great. But don't ever bring that impatience when you actually practice. That's one of the dangers of this thod. It's fast but you can't be impatient."
"I understand. Please tell what to do." Line nodded eagerly while also taking a deep breath to calm herself down.
Grinning, Kisuke gave her the first thing she should do, "First, deliberately cause an Ignis Fatuus."
"Huh…?" Line asked in confusion as she doesn't understand how losing control would help her control the violent Mana. And on top of that, Ignis Fatuus, if extrely unlucky, it may injure her permanently and her path towards magic will be forever closed.
"I told you, right? It'll be dangerous and you can't be impatient, or else, it could make you retire being an Adventurer." In Line's perception, Kisuke grin beca that of a mad man which he is actually.
Swallowing her saliva, Line asked nervously, "But why Ignis Fatuus?"
"Not specifically the Ignis Fatuus, but the way you'll be casting your magic which will cause you to lose control of your magic. I assu that you already morized so parts of your healing magic?"
"Yes."
"Then what you'll need to do is to cast your healing magic and while at it, you're going to catch one of this Mana strand and move it yourself according to the original movent."
"I see… It may sound simple but the mont you try to grab Mana, it'll revolt despite following the original path of the magic which will cause Ignis Fatuus."
"Right. You have to try and try again to find a way for you to actually control it. Hence, the contents of your training will be causing an Ignis Fatuus, and if you beco injured, you'll use your magic normally to heal yourself and try to morize more parts of your magic. I'll be watching you while you do it so that I can give you more instructions depending on your progress."
"I understand. I'll start now."
Kisuke just nodded at her and sat down on a protruding rock to watch her.
Line took another deep breath and closed her eyes as she cast her healing magic on herself. After a few seconds, however, the light which was supposed to heal her suddenly blasted her with shockwave which sent her flying backward, "Kyahh!!!"
Line thought that she would be rolling on the ground in pain and scratches but that didn't happen as she suddenly felt soone catching her in midair.
Kisuke, with Line on his arms, landed on the ground. Realizing their position, Line's face heated up and felt embarrassed. However, Kisuke imdiately put her down and said, "Continue," with a flat tone that roused her from embarrassnt.
Seeing how serious he is in teaching her, Line shook her head and threw away her useless thoughts and answered with renewed determination, "Okay!" Since he's properly teaching her, she should take it very seriously. That's the only she can do for now.
For the next three hours, Line would be thrown away by her own magic which would sotis injure her greatly that she had to use so of her expensive potions as her healing magic isn't enough.
She also got used to Kisuke always catching her so she focused entirely on her magic without minding much about her safety while also following Kisuke's advice of not being impatient so that she won't cause a fatal Ignis Fatuus.
The group who's hunting for monsters also returned for lunch but what they saw after returning to Kisuke and Line make them stopped their steps, "…K-Kisuke… What did you do?" Aika asked while her mouth is twitching and the rest of the girls also has similar expressions.
"Hmm?… Ah…" Kisuke looked towards them and beca confused at their expression. He then looked back at Line who also just opened her eyes. Since he's only focusing on her progress and the movents from his surroundings, he didn't realize Line's appearance after being repeatedly activating Ignis Fatuus.
Line's clothes, after countless shockwaves that hit her, beca so tattered that it revealed her underwear, hence, the reaction of the girls.
Line looked at them, who's looking at her like sothing is wrong with her. Now that her mind has been taken off from the training and Kisuke's serious atmosphere already disappeared, she finally felt the cold draft grazing her body. She then looked down and her mind blanked out before she scread on top of lungs as she covers her body, "Kyaah!!!"
Kisuke imdiately pulled out a blanket from his inventory and draped it on top of Line, "Ehem… Let's rest for now and eat our lunch…" He tried to diffuse the awkward position. But feeling the other Adventurers coming due to them being attracted by Line's scream, he suggested, "Let's go sowhere else before that."
The girls also realized that it's a misunderstanding and sighed in relief. dusa approached Line and help her stand up while also offering her to fix her clothes.
Thankful with dusa's offer, Line sighed. But her mind went back to her training and her progress, 'I already morized 3/4 of the overall magic circle of my healing magic and I can only write my own lines of Mana, albeit, only slightly… But it ans that it's really possible to control Mana…" Clenching her fist, Line promised herself to work harder after seeing a visible achievent and improvent.
