Giving Them Creeps
Brandon had always spared with them a few times, so he was well aware of their true powers.
Engaging in a physical strength contest with them was certainly not a wise decision, and Alec had instructed him to focus on utilizing his strongest power, emphasizing that his affinity for the earth element was his greatest gift.
Alec often referred to him as a “magic swordsman,” conveying that his true strength lay in his abilities as both a magician and a swordsman.
With Alec’s guidance and encouragement, he had continuously honed his skills, leading to his heightened battle awareness and mastery of earth element spells.
While his peak Affinity did contribute to his faster mastery of the spells, Alec would never admit it.
As Alec enjoyed the look of satisfaction he received every time Brandon improved based on his advice.
