Chapter # 12

Ethan: "I...I just searched some from google yesterday."

Me: "See. I knew it. You can't be a savage."

Ethan: "Why do you have to be so blunt?" He said whining.

Me: "Ahaha what can I do? Anyway. Thank you."

Ethan: "Why?"

Me: "I know you did it to help me."

Ethan: "You're always welcome." ｡◕‿◕｡

We reached the college and went to our class. I was about to go towards my seat when Ethan stopped me. He went forward and stood on the foot of the boy who placed it to make me fall.

Boy: "Aaaah!!!..oww oww oww". The boy started rubbing his foot.

Ethan: "Oh my bad. I didn't know your foot was there." He said sarcastically.

We then walked towards our seats.

Ethan: "I don't understand why you let them do all this."

Me: "I just don't wanna create an issue and you know..cause grandma any trouble.

Ethan: "That's not a reason. You should be strong so that they won't even think to mess with you."

Me: "Okay okay."

After some time the teacher entered the class.

Teacher: "Good morning class."

Everyone: "Good morning mam."

Teacher: "We have a new student. Would you please come out and introduce yourself?" She said looking at Ethan.

Ethan stood up and went towards the front.

Ethan: "Hello everyone. My name is Ethan. I hope to get along with all of you." He was about to walk away when he suddenly stopped.

Ethan: "Aah wait I forgot something." He took out a scissor. Everyone was confused. He continued.

"Anyone who messes with Katie. Remember that I'm gonna make him or her bald. Don't say that I didn't warn you before."

I could see that everyone was scared of Ethan. I chuckled at that and gave him a thumbs up.

This day went quite peacefully thanks to Ethan. Now we're going for practice.

Me: "We're here."

Master Z: "Welcome." He said with a smile.

"So..ready for practice?"

Me: "Yes master." I said nervously.

Master Z: "Don't be nervous. I know you can do it."

I nodded and gave smiled at him.

Master Z: "Okay. First, you need to have control over your powers. Try to put a fire on those pieces of woods."

Me: "Ok."

I took a deep breath and said the magic spell.

'Woah'... I was so happy to see that. I looked at master.

Me: "I did it.!!"

Master Z: "Yeah..wait be careful. Don't get too carried away or else..."

'Oh no'..the fire started spreading everywhere.

I tried to use the other spell but it didn't work and I totally set everything on fire. –_–

Master Z put out the fire with a snap of his finger.

'Amazing.' That was so cool. I looked at him surprised. He then turned towards me and I looked down feeling embarrassed.

Me: "I'm sorry Master. It was a disaster."

Master Z: "Katie. Don't be upset. It's fine. It was your first try. You are powerful but you need to control your powers and learn some basics. And I'm sure you'll learn them fastly." He said with a sweet smile.

Master Z: "So don't be nervous or sad about what just happened. Chief Shen will tell you some spells and you can practice those with Ethan."

Me: "Yes master."

Master Z: "After some days you'll have to show me. And I wish to have good results."

Me: "You will."

Master Z: "That's the spirit. I'll get going then.

Me: "Yes grandpa." I said smiling widely.

He smiled back and left.

Ethan: "I swear he loves it when you call him grandpa."

Me: "Really?"

Ethan: "Yeah. You never noticed how much he wants to just start squealing." He said laughing. "But as a Master, he tries to compose himself."

Me: "I see. But why is he so strict. I mean I never saw his strict side but the way you talk about him, I think he is quite stern."

Ethan: "He is. But you know it isn't all his fault. As he first lost his daughter, then after some time his wife died. He was also not able to meet you. He was all alone. Had no one to care for. So it's quite acceptable that he became like that."

Me: "Hmm."

Ethan: "Alright, enough talking. Let's get down to practicing. Just don't accidentally blow me away."

Me: "Hey, I'm not that bad... am I?"

Ethan: "Kinda..."

I shot him a glare, and he burst into laughter.

Ethan: "I'm just kidding. Let's start with some simple finger action. Allow me to demonstrate."

With a snap of his fingers, a tiny flame danced and vanished.

Ethan: "Now, your turn."

I snapped my fingers but produced nothing. I tried repeatedly, but it was futile.

Ethan was rolling on the floor, laughing uncontrollably.
