ARC 3.16: Fire Power

"Why don't we go outside and measure your progress, no?" Headmaster Coolio spoke after being immersed from his thoughts.

☆

As they went out of the Headmaster's office and walked away, the two of them reached the Headmaster's back courtyard where there was an open space perfect for Krystian to show the Headmaster his capabilities.

Krystian gave a curt bow to Headmaster Coolio before he positioned himself and went still, calming his mind and soul. Krystian then closed his eyes and took a deep breath before going through the motions of the Ten Sutras of Sandal. In which with each Sutra movement, it would strengthen Krystian's golden core and golden veins.

With each intense movements that he executed, Krystian could feel his body go lighter and lighter. He felt the magic in his veins flow wildly from to his head down to his toes, and viceversa.

As Krystian kept repeating the Ten Sutras of Sandal, he began to physically feel a change in his body. It was as if his golden core kept filling him up with magic, each time the energy he accumulates ran through his body.

After a while, Krystian focused on pushing the building magic out through his fists wherein he managed to unleash a golden flame. From that point, Krystian began showcasing the fighting technique he learned. And with each punch and kick, a large golden flame could be seen coming out of his fists and feet.

Krystian only stopped when he heard Headmaster Coolio clapping with much gusto. "Good! Very good!!" He said joyously as he looked upon Krystian with satisfaction, hia eyes even twinkling in obvious delight. "Congratulations on achieving such a great feat!"

Meanwhile, in Quirra's mind space. A robotic voice suddenly spoke.

Back in the physical world.....

Krystian settled his feelings and emotions before he gave a deep bow towards his Master Teacher.

"Thank you Headmaster for your praise." He told Headmaster Coolio with a smile.

"Your elemental magic has been unlocked within yourself. Practice hard and you'll achieve great things in your life." Headmaster Coolio replied while patting Krystian on the shoulder. "Now is there anything else you would like to ask me?"

"There is nothing else, Headmaster." Krystian replied while shaking his head.

"Then you are now excused. I will be in my office should you need my guidance, or anything else in that matter." Headmaster Coolio told Krystian and prepared himself to leave the courtyard.

"Thank you, Headmast Coolio. I will keep that in mind." Krystian hurriedly told the Headmaster while bowing again deeply, as the old man began to leave. Headmaster Coolio, while still walking away, heard Krystian's words and responded with a wave of his hand.

Soon after Headmaster Coolio disappeared, Krystian left the back courtyard and went to his own courtyard with a skip in his step.

This was actually the first time he was able to unleash his fire magic. Before this day, he was stuck at a bottleneck, unable to breakthrough and understand the Ten Sundras of Sandal completely.

Somehow, while showing Headmaster Coolio what he learned during his self-studying earlier, he suddenly had an enlightenment, and decided to let go of his worries. This decision caused him to unlock his potential, thus unleashing his elemental magic power.

Krystian smiled with delight at his achievement. How he wished for Bailey to be here, so he can share this moment with him.
