First time

" I don't think that you are going to beat me with killing those bastards, you lack motives, powers and character in general but i ..I am going to ruin their lives or at least try"Ethyl said while looking to Isiah's troubled face.

  She reached to his forehead with her index and touched it lightly then said:" It is probably a rumor of some kind, just focus on your magic because the evaluation is very hard, a lot lost their lives easily"

Isiah nodded his head, she was going to level up, of course he wouldn't let her feel guilty for all the left outs.

" I am able to use magic now, i got the sealing spell removed"

" Wooooah …just in time, let me teach you something before i go"Ethyl said while she held his right hand then said:" I don't know what kind of elements you use because you never practiced magic but this…this one is easy Isiah"

Isiah looked at his and between hers then said:" Ethyl, what kind of spell is this ? "

Ethyl focused her eyes on his index then said:" It is a fire spell, it is the easiest, all the women around here use it for cooking, basically it is the first spell they learn "

A small flame appeared in Ethyl's hand, Isiah startled for a second then looked her in the eyes and said: " Teach me "

Ethyl definitely didn't think about his reaction, she thought that he would reject that but he surprised her with his willingness to learn.

" Well, listen to me, you don't have to do much, just relax yourself so that you are able to control your divine energy, stabilize it, then let your body process it so that you don't use much, then focus  on the place you want it to show…this spell isn't big enough, i know you can handle it" Ethyl said with confidence.

Isiah tried to calm himself, he even tried to breathe slowly but his mind was going in a circle, he used to be an overthinker since the beginning and to shut his head was something very hard .

"Calm down …Isiah …calm down"She insisted on him.

His hand was still between her hands, in that moment he pushed her hands and stood away from her then sighed .

"That's rude!" She argued.

"Aouuuf…hmmmmfff..i have to calm down…i have to calm down"

At that moment, Ethyl started to laugh loudly, and Isiah looked at her immediately because she was distracting him.

"Stop it …i have to focus" He said.

" Well, that's the point, you don't have to focus forcefully, just take it easy, that's why i was holding your hand, i was trying to make you calm down at least "

"I don't know if you holding my hand would calm me down, it is just something that you are saying" 

Ethyl shook her head in disbelief then said:" Fine, i won't give you the honor to hold my hand, you pathetic creature, i will never let you hold my hands"

Isiah didn't even look at her that moment, she was upset yet all he was doing was looking at his hands while thinking about focusing.

He tried to think about the things that used to calm him, basically there were none in his new life, but in his past life he had a video game that he adored, and the main characters of his favorite web novel that he kept on following for years, he smiled when a memory passed his mind.

Isiah remembered those days he hurried to go back home just to play in that virtual game with his internet buddies, or the time he spent at class reading that web novel in english class, he used to get bored in that class but that web novel made time pass faster, he binged read most of the chapters there.

His mind calmed down slowly, those hurricanes inside of him just subsided, he even had a smile on his face for the first time in  a long time.

Unintentionally he looked at his hands with a clear mind, he focused on his index like Ethyl told him and within a second he felt something moving inside of him towards his endex, it was like an electric thing, he thought that he messed up but Ethyl hurried to him and put a hand on his shoulder then said :" Right, that's how the divine energy feels like, don't panic"

He was at the moment so excited to the point where he said loudly with a cute smile on his face:" I think …Ethyl …see..i think i am going to do it"

  And then a small flame appeared in a second then disappeared.

Isiah had mixed emotions, he was too excited about his achievement, yet he got disappointed because it didn't last that long.

He jumped yelling : " I did it ! i did it Ethyl…i did it "

He turned around and faced her, and in a second he was hugging her so tightly, he did it uncontrollably and he even stayed like that for a long time, he kept saying:" I did it …ethyl ..i did it "

Ethyl was very surprised by his reaction, she never expected him to do such a thing, she thought that he was so cute with that smiling and excited face, she didn't push him like she should have, and instead of that she held him too passing her palm through his back, he certainly grew up from the last day she saw him.

She noticed that but he seemed very uncomfortable discussing it with her and that's why she stayed silent .

" I knew it …i knew that you would do it "

That moment was very weird and even when he retreated from her , he did it gently and not even bothered by what he did .

Ethyl pretended that it was normal and walked away to sit where she was. He stood there very proud of his little achievement.

" Now, i will do anything to be stronger and i know that i will…i will definitely do it …i will level up...i will"
