One year

Capítulo-9

Austria, Nurmengard Castle

Inside the training camp, ten-year-old Alexander looked at the ten dolls standing in the middle of the training room, with the serious expression on his face.

Alexander held the wand firmly in his hand and pointed the wand at the ten dolls. He gently turned his wrist and Alexander pronounced it in his mind.

"Bom-BAR-da!"

A flash of red light came out of the end of the wand and hit the doll's chest directly. Alexander looked at the twenty-centimeter hole that went through the doll's entire body with a bothered look.

Franzing his forehead Alexander repeated the same spell, but this time he put a great deal of magic into it.

"Bom-BAR-da!"

This time the spell was much stronger than the other, a three-meter-wide red light pillar came out of the end of his wand and hit the doll in full.

When the red light pillar hit the doll a huge explosion occurred and the whole Castle shook for a moment before everything was back to normal.

When the explosion occurred, Alexander narrowed his eyes trying to see the impact site, but the smoke from the explosion prevented him from seeing the damage his magic did. 

With a movement of Alexander's wand, all the dust was carried away by a strong wind breeze that allowed him to see the damage his magic did.

In the place where the ten iron dolls were, it had a crater ten meters long and two meters deep.

"Power is good, better than most Aurors can do. Although it takes a third of my magic reserves to cast a spell of that caliber." Alexander thought while analyzing some important things when suddenly his whole body shivered and with a flick of his wand a transparent barrier was raised around his body.

The moment the transparent barrier was erected, a wave of fire capable of melting a steel plate hit the barrier directly, which began to crack with the force and heat of the fire.

Seeing that the barrier was breaking, Alexander quickly moved his wand and a pillar of water left the Barrier colliding directly with the wave of fire that immediately with the collision began to produce an extensive mist of vapor that blocked his and the attacker's view.

Alexander seeing that he had stopped the attack for a moment, began to retreat quickly backward as he controlled the water pillar that spread everywhere creating several puddles of water. With the mist of steam everywhere, the only thing Alexander could count on was hearing and smell.

Alexander heard the attacker's footsteps stepping into the puddles of water quickly turned the wand and pronounced a silent spell.

"Carpe Retractum!"

With Alexander pronouncing the spell in his mind, a purple stream of energy came out of the tip of his wand and flew towards the attacker.

Alexander feels that the chain had chained itself to something, pulled the chain back, which began to come back to him at high speeds and soon saw the appearance of the chained, it was an inanimate puppet.

Seeing that he was cheated Alexander tries to turn himself, but it was too late a strong hand appears grabbing his neck while a strong, husky voice echoes in his ears.

"You lost again, Alexander," Grindelwald spoke looking at Alexander with a funny smile on his face.

That was the intensive training Grindelwald prepared for Alexander. For a year they fought every day with different strategies and ways to fight each other.

"364 defeats and 0 victories. You seem to have made more progress Alexander. The steam strategy was brilliant, it works with most wizards, but with experienced wizards, it won't work since most of the older wizards have magic detection and would soon find their exact position before you even cast a spell." Grindelwald spoke by stroking Alexander's pale blond silky hair as he showed a smile on his wrinkled face.

"Hump! I just didn't beat you because the name of the First Lord of Darkness would be thrown in the mud, knowing you lost to your own ten-year-old grandson." Alexander spoke coldly taking Grindelwald's strong hands from his hair.

"Really? Then I hope you use all your magic against me one day. And I will give you the title of dark lords you so long for." Grindelwald spoke out of the training camp, leaving Alexander alone in the training camp.

Hearing Grindelwald's words, Alexander only showed a cheerful smile on his face and whispered low so that only he could hear. "On that day I hope you won't regret those words."

Seeing the entire training camp destroyed and full of holes containing water scattered around every corner, Alexander mobilizes a great deal of magic from his body and gently turns the wand.

When Alexander turned the wand, the whole training camp seemed to go back in time and everything went back to the moment the whole training camp was intact.

Looking at the training camp intact, Alexander smiled and walked slowly into the castle, he needed a nice bath to take the fatigue out of his body.

Inside the castle, in the bathroom

Alexander took off all his clothes and slowly got into the bathtub with warm water and dived leaving only his head out. Feeling comfortable all over his body, Alexander closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfortable moment.

After a few minutes of enjoying the light comfortable warmth on his skin, Alexander felt a pair of eyes looking at him and opened his eyes to see a girl with long black hair beside the bathtub looking silently at him.

"Morgana, how many times have I spoken. Can't you go into the bathroom while I'm using it?" Alexander spoke looking seriously at Morgana, but was only answered with a nod from her and she remained in the same place while continuing to look at him with her beautiful purple eyes.

Seeing this Alexander could only sigh in sadness and closed his eyes without caring for a pair of purple eyes that looked aggressively at him.

Alexander was already used to it. With one year living with Morgana, he knows that she doesn't express herself with a normal person.

Her way of showing concern and following him to all sides of the castle. Her way of showing affection is to look at him all the time without caring about anyone finding it strange. Her way of showing that she wants affection or compliments is to hold his arm while constantly looking into his eyes with an expressionless face. All this she, only showed an apparent emotion in that beautiful, elegant and delicate face, cold, like a snow princess.
