Training

Luna walked down slowly to the light gray colored wolf since she heard that it was Akiro's pet. Its stomach part was ripped and its limbs were almost broken. The intensity of their fight was obvious after seeing the injuries or it might be worsened when Miss Zione interrupted in their fight. She crunched down and started to heal the most injured part of the wolf.

Its stomach's huge cuts were slowly closing and the traces of blood around its stomach disappeared. Then Luna moved to its broken limbs. It's huge and sturdy bones were hard to heal and took some time to heal all four limbs with golden flames.

Soon, the bloody appearance of the wolf was gone. The unconscious wolf soon slowly woke up and growled after seeing the other wolf.

Although it stopped after seeing Akiro's menacing gaze as if it was afraid of the latter's wrath. It went near his owner and behaved itself.

Meanwhile, Luna continued healing the other one that had worse injuries compared to the light-gray one. She assumed that it was losing the fight after seeing its condition.

The golden flames engulfed the wolf's chest which she could almost see its ribs and slowly beating heart. Then after healing the big injuries, multiple golden flames surrounded its minor injuries. As long as it's small, the injuries would heal easily.

She didn't wait for it to wake up and then went to the small injured animals. Like the rabbits, she could heal its whole body without focusing on the major injuries.

"All is done," Luna said.

"Don't you feel exhausted?" Akiro said.

"I'm not. I think the golden flames help me continuously maintain a stable and healthy body," Luna said.

There was certainly a limit to it depending on one's magic amount but her unbelievable magic amount made up for it. It's almost infinite since the moment she used her magic, it'll recover and the recovery wasn't noticeable with her huge magic amount.

After her healing practice, the small animals quickly ran away and Miss Zione brought the still unconscious wolf to the inner part of the forest. The huge bubble, chanted by Miss Zione, carried it.

They soon came back to the garden where they were practicing. For the next part of the training, she was told to maintain Erik and Irene's stable state. The two of them had bruises in some parts of the body and were panting very hard when they reached their training place.

"Hello everyone, I'm tasked to heal Irene and Erik while you're practicing. Continue your usual training. I'll just stand here at the side and heal them from time to time," Luna said.

Irene and Erik were delighted. Ryle's training's difficulty was increasing each day and felt that their body would give up sooner.

Although their hopes were crushed when they heard Ryle.

"Good, good, I'll be able to train them much harder," Ryle said.

Luna smiled awkwardly. "Suit yourself," she said.

Hearing their words, the two of them didn't know if Luna brought them help or nightmare.

Luna first healed them both. They didn't have serious injuries so she could both heal them at her distance with her golden flames. The bruises disappeared and their vitality returned to normal.

When they were healed, Ryle caught the two kids' attention.

"Start! Start!" Ryle uttered.

Luna could see the huge boulder of rocks appearing from above and it swiftly attacked Irene and Erik.

The swirl of crystal clear water and snow immediately enveloped them and some of the rocks were shrouded with ice while small shards of ice attack the smaller rocks.

Although the biggest rock was hardly covered by ice. She could see that this was the one that needed improvement but they were already doing great in such a short time.

They panted heavily. Luna chose to heal them only a bit. She thought that they should get used to it and healing them completely wouldn't give them growth in stamina.

The training continued until afternoon where the sun was at its peak.

"Let's stop for now," Ryle said.

The two of them sighed in relief. Luna then healed them completely after their training and also Ryle whose body was full of sweat and his defined muscles showed up underneath his white long-sleeved shirt. She didn't heal him earlier thinking that he could handle himself well without healing.

Although Ryle looked at her.

"I almost thought you forgot about me, Luna," Ryle said.

Luna rolled her eyes at him. "Well if you're as weak as them, I'll gladly heal you during training," she said jokingly.

"Of course, of course, I'm not!" Ryle said proudly.

"Well done, all of you," Akiro said.

"Oh, you're still here! I thought you already left. You didn't speak this whole time," Ryle said.

Akiro didn't bother with his joke and said, "Enough with that. You should dress neatly right now with your disgusting appearance."

Ryle smirked. "Oh, really? Or is it that you envy my firm body? You haven't been moving your body these, tsk tsk," he said.

Akiro glared at him. "Drown yourself with your dreams, Ryle. I can spar with you anytime if you want," he said.

"I-I'm busy. I still have to train these children," Ryle said.

Luna was surprised to see Akiro taking Ryle's farces though, she found it weird that Ryle was avoiding Akiro's offer to spar. She suddenly wanted to see how well both of them will fight against each other.

"Well then, lunch will be ready anytime soon. Fix yourselves first," Akiro said.

All of them didn't stay any longer in the middle of the sun and went to their respective rooms.

Luna took a bath again, wanting to remove the sticky feeling in her body. The golden flames were healing her but she still wanted to feel the cold water against her skin.

***

Midnight came and they were all done with their training. All of them were resting in the living room with teas and delicacies on the small table. 

"Luna, I didn't even think that you'll have a fire and healing-based magic. Akiro said it to me yesterday and was very excited!" Ryle said.

"Us too," Erik followed.

"I'm just the same. I didn't even have any idea what kind of magic element I'll have," Luna uttered.

While they're talking, a servant walked up to them and bowed.

"Master Akiro, a letter was sent by a messenger house of Lilieth," he said.

Akiro took the letter and opened it without hesitation. He skimmed the contents of the letter and said the news to them.

"The academy's enrollment will be happening in a week. This is a letter of recommendation to Luna, Irene, and Erik," he said.

Luna expected that she would be attending the academy and felt excited that the two children would be coming with her although their unusual condition would be exposed.

"Will you like to join?" Akiro said.

The two children seemed hesitant. "We don't want it. I'm sure that we will still get stronger under your care," Erik said.

Irene also nodded.

"It's settled then and don't worry, I didn't tell him about your constitution. I only said to him through a letter that I will be accepting two students under my care. I didn't expect that he would include the two of you," Akiro explained.

Luna didn't feel down and instead felt glad that they would be safe inside this mansion. She didn't want to risk their lives just for her.

"Ready yourself Luna and do well in the Magic Academy," Akiro said.

"I will," Luna said.

Her emotions were mixed when she thought of entering the Magic Academy. She felt scared and at the same time curious about what will happen in her first month inside that place.
