Learn From a Talented Child

"Are the carving knives as strong as practice tools?" Anastasia underestimated the ability of the small blade a little, because judging from its small size and small blade, it might not be able to match the ability of a sword, and the carving knife would definitely crack when used.

"Since these were given from nobles, I don't think they are cheap items." The wealthy aristocrats always bought luxury goods for themselves, even if the goods they bought were for fun and collectibles.

Prince Leonard walked over to the wooden dummy behind Anastasia, Prince Leonard began to mount his stance and held the carving knife vertically in front of his chest. Prince Leonard began to activate his fire magic.

*Sizzle*

Immediately the fire from Prince Leonard's hand ignited the carving knife, and now the carving knife was covered in flames from Prince Leonard's hand. The small carving knife had turned into a dangerous-looking knife.

Prince Leonard took a stance to try the carving knife into the wooden dummy. Prince Leonard stabbed the wooden dummy straight ahead.

*Burst*

Prince Leonard's attack made the wooden dummy crater large enough and charcoal black, as a result of the explosion of fire launched by Prince Leonard.

Anastasia was surprised by the result of Prince Leonard's attack, the wooden dummy now has a large enough crater due to fire. Anastasia thought that the small knife looked fragile, after seeing Prince Leonard's magic and sword skills, Anastasia's spirit slowly returned.

Prince Leonard walked back to Anastasia and handed the carving knife to Anastasia to try channeling magic into the carving knife.

Even though it was used by Prince Leonard to channel flames and create explosions in the wooden dummy, the carving knife did not feel hot in Anastasia's hands at all. "Ugh, this knife doesn't feel hot at all." Anastasia feels that the carving knife she is holding is heavier than it looks.

"Yes because it is just distribution of heat, so the fire I put out didn't burn the knife at all."

because Anastasia has a wind element, Anastasia will not be able to launch an attack like the one launched by Prince Leonard.

Anastasia started trying to channel her magic into the carving knife. She began to follow Prince Leonard's movements by placing the carving knife vertically in front of her chest. and started activating her wind magic.

* BREEZE *

The wind started blowing around Anastasia's body but not as expected by Anastasia, the wind that Anastasia gathered was not centered on the carving knife, but the wind only revolved around Anastasia's body, like during her training with Remy.

Because the magic that Anastasia cast did not match her expectations, Anastasia immediately stopped the activation of the magic. And asked Prince Leonard to teach her in more detail.

"Sigh, looks like I failed to transmit my magic to this carving knife, can you teach me more details?" Anastasia sighs, Anastasia's desire to defeat Prince Zach is still the fuel for her enthusiasm to master the channeling of her wind magic to the sword.

"Uhm, I'm not a good teacher, Anastasia," Anastasia thought that Prince Leonard was only modest because he had extraordinary strength.

"It's all right, Prince Mills. Since we're the same age as possible I would get along with you." Anastasia convinced Prince Leonard not to be humble with his abilities.

"All right, I'll try to teach you, Anastasia." Prince Leonard was willing to teach magic on the sword to Anastasia.

'Since Prince Leonard is famous for his gifted children, then surely I will find a secret or two to master magic.'

Anastasia handed back the carving knife in her hand to Prince Leonard. Then Prince Leonard began to demonstrate the movement again, and explained it again to Anastasia.

"First prepare your best stance, second feel the heat flowing in your hands, and finally then explode into your palms."

Anastasia could only be dumbfounded after listening to Prince Leonard's explanation, Anastasia felt that Prince Leonard's explanation was too simple, maybe because he was a talented child he could easily spitfire without knowing the basics first. Anastasia tried her magic again with a carving knife again.

After trying several times Anastasia was completely unable to follow what Prince Leonard taught. Even though Anastasia's ability has increased a little, previously Anastasia gathered wind only around her body, now the wind is more focused and circling only her hands.

Now Anastasia is very tired because previously she had just finished training her sword. Anastasia now just realized that she couldn't learn from a talented child. Because Prince Leonard's sword skills were obtained because of his talent. This means that when Prince Leonard first practiced magic and swordsmanship, he was immediately able and he didn't even know how he became as strong as he is now. So, Prince Leonard couldn't teach Anastasia how to get her to do it.
