Chapter 15: Fire Burst

A month has passed after Stark had announced the enrollment for the Advance Academies, all the trainees of Schild City had been working hard to reach the requirements. After all, the benefits and privileges of someone that was able to enter an advanced academy were enormous.

But this opportunity was only available for the real talented children. Children who were hailed as geniuses among their peers can easily receive support from wealthy nobles. They would gladly support these kids because doing so may help them easily in recruiting them in the future.

As usual, Kraftvoll was in a meditative stance, as he was trying to break through through his current rank. Stark silently observed him as he was absorbing six different kinds of seishin essence into his body.

'It's only a matter of time until he breakthrough. This child's talent is terrifying, the kingdom is truly fortunate to have produced this kind of prodigy.' Stark thought to himself.

It's a spectacle to behold watching Kraftvoll cultivate. All six different seishin essences were gathering around him, making experts, like Stark, be amazed at what they are seeing.

This is one of the reasons why Kraftvoll was ahead of his peers. The more one's affinities to several elements, the faster for them to gather seishin into their bodies.

After a while, Kraftvoll slowly opened his eyes. And a smile on his face can be seen. "So you broke through, huh, kid," said Stark happily commended.

"Yes!" Kraftvoll happily answered. "So this means that you will teach me a Seishin fire spell, sir Stark?" Kraftvoll playfully asked. "Of course! No man goes back to his words," said Stark. These words uttered by Stark made Kraftvoll excited.

As Stark promised, he started teaching Kraftvoll one of the fire spells he devised in his whole seishin cultivation. "Since you've just started the path of seishin practitioner, I will teach you the simplest fire spell I've created that can be used by a seishin captain like yourself," said Stark. Kraftvoll nodded in response to Stark.

Although everyone considered him a prodigy that only came once in a millennium, Kraftvoll stayed humble because of his parents' lectures toward him. His parents don't want Kraftvoll to become arrogant just because he was blessed by the heavens.

Stark continued teaching Kraftvoll, "Remember: the element of fire represents the attribute of strength, but in every positive aspect of something, there is an opposite side. Someone who controls the element of fire must not be overcome by impatience." Even though Kraftvoll was only nine years of age, his comprehension was deeper in comparison to his peers. Which was why he easily understood what Stark meant.

Stark said, "You must remember that as you learn this spell I'm gonna teach you." Kraftvoll nodded in response. "Okay, here it is." Stark walked and faced a tall tree outside the Shield's Hero plaza.

As soon as he reached the front of the tree, he started chanting, "I command thee, ye who constitute strength, tear asunder thy master's enemy" The fire seishin essence started gathering around Stark. "Fire Burst!" he shouted.

Suddenly, a bolt of fire was discharged to the tree. And when it reached the tree it made a big explosion. People who witnessed this were amazed at what they had seen. And Kraftvoll was left in awe. Although Stark said it's just a simple spell but the result it gave was astounding, no wonder Kraftvoll was in awe.

"Okay, now that I've demonstrated it. You may start to try to understand and try doing it. You can ask me any question if you have any."

"Okay!" Kraftvoll said with an excited smile on his face.

Kraftvoll spent the morning training trying to understand the concept of Stark's spell, Fire Burst. And of course, Stark was there to guide him.

Because a spell cannot be learned in a matter of days, Kraftvoll was not able to do it until the time for daily training end. Since Schild City's training time was just in the morning, it ended quickly.

Just after the training ended, a visitor came to Kraftvoll. And as soon as he sees his visitor, he suddenly smiled. He greeted, "Long time no see.."
