Sylvia looked at the current status screen before her with nothing changed with the exception of her age and the new skill she got.
'T, how do Host Skills work? I have a feeling it's probably different normal skills." Sylvia asked T with her thoughts.
[Boss! You're so smart! Host Skills are skills that can be carried over with you into different Stories while regular skills will be removed when you go to your next Story.]
'I see.' Sylvia was currently in the school plaza. Sitting on a what looked like a normal park bench with the white marble fountain in front of her.. After everyone had checked their affinity, Mr. Edgy had let them familiarize themselves with their newly acquired magic and then just left after that.
Sylvia was confused as to how he became a Vice-Head and a licensed teacher. He just seemed to be really irresponsible.
Sylvia then went to take a look at her Ice Magic. T had told her earlier that in this world, what mattered most was imagination, precision, and control. This world also used the concept of spells. Imagination controlled the intensity of the released spell precision affected accuracy and control of the magic power affected the success rate of the released spell
T had said that most magic systems were similar to this one, so she should learn it as soon as possible.
Imagination was really easy for her since she had to imagine lines of text into an actual scene and then draw it. Control was also easy since when she was drawing on paper, if she didn't control the pen well, it could destroy the entire drawing. She would cry everytime that happened.
As for precision...It shouldn't be that hard right?
As Sylvia thought that she stood up from the wooden bench and stretched out her hand and pointed to a shrub about 5 meters away from her.
'T, what are the beginner spells for Ice users?' Sylvia asked since it was best to start from step one.
[Hmmm... Let's see... Okay, how about 「 Ice Shard」? Just make a shard of ice and propel it forward.]
'Okay, that seems easy enough.'
[There should be a cold feeling in your stomach, it varies depending on the element. Try directing that feeling to your arm and then to your hand. After that concentrate and then shoot it outside.
Sylvia said nothing and got into a stance with her hand till outstreched and did as T said. She could indeed feel a weird cold feeling in her stomach. She tried moving it to her arm and it easily did. She then kept it in her arm while she formed an image of a sky-blue ice shard shooting out of her hand.
After the image was formed, she released the feeling out from her arm and made it shoot out through her palm.
She could then see a sky-blue shard of ice forming nearly instantaneously before it shot through the air and instead of landing on the bush she was aiming at earlier as she expected it to, it instead aimed itself towards a certain familiar set of spiky, black hair.
'BOOM'
