14 Magic Training

CHAPTER 14: MAGIC TRAINING

I slept a whole day and finally woke up feeling better, no pain in my eyes and no tiredness. I recovered completely. While I was sleeping, I had a conversation with system again.

FLASHBACK

« New skill [Relinquish] <the ability to erase the effects of your own magic is acquired. Skill [Relinquish] now added [ENVY] »< p>

My [ENVY LV1] leveled up, it's now [ENVY LV2]

Huh? System, I can acquire skills that are connected to my skills?

« Answer: Yes. Your skills are ultimate skills, meaning, you can get normal skills that are similarly close and fuse them to the skill so it will level up.»

For example?

«For example, your skill [WRATH] can acquire [Attrition] skills, your [SLOTH] skill can acquire [Undermining] skills that can make your opponent fall asleep for as long as you wish.»

Wait a minute! Aren't my skills so dangerous?

«Yes.»

Thanks for the answer, system. But if I really can do that, then I'll be so dangerous. I better take control of my skills.

«...»

See? That's the conversation I had with System.

Evolution Results:

Looking at my status, my [Sloth] skill also leveled up. That's because I've been sleeping a lot lately to replenish my energy due to the hellish training.

When I opened my eyes, the concerned Priscilla immediately hugged me and called everyone.

"I'm glad you're okay! Why would you overuse your skill like that?"

"Ah, Priscilla, Andromeda hates to be held like that," Hawk said. Priscilla immediately moved away and glared at Hawk. Hawk gave me foods that I immediately began to eat. I'm very hungry. T^T

"What really happened during our battle, Andromeda?" Ash asked. He's so confused as to why I received damage and why I fell down even though I was the one who attacked him and he never hurt me.

"It took quite a lot of magic power just to stop you from moving, I ended up using more than I have," I answered. Hawk breathe out a sigh of relief when I covered up the truth. Hawk is so wise and he knows my abilities well so it is possible that he realized what could have possibly happened.

Everyone had a 'Are you serious?' look. Then Carina laughed, Konan was holding his laughter. Sarah sounded, "eh?" and she looked confused.

"As expected of the class 2-A, we are really no match for them," Faye spoke. She clenched her fist and looked motivated to surpass them.

"Is that so? My movement really stopped for a moment, thought. I even felt like my breath stopped," Ash said. He held his ear as he remember what he felt.

Thank god I stopped the effects, my skill isn't yet fully under my control. My level is still too low to kill someone but we never know. 

"What's your MP value, Andromeda?" Ash asked. Uh.. I don't like where this is going.

"70."

"It's low, next time I'll train you on how to increase your magic power," he declared.

My face crumpled. I can't tell him I can't use any magic! System told me that my skills were all abilities and currently, I can only use magic if I copy, I haven't stolen any magic ability yet and there's no way I can steal!

What to do?!

---

Ash was really serious when he said he'll train us with magic. Ash group is now switching from physical to magic training. The others are excited and happy but for me, I am nervous.

I've never used magic before but system said I can use my magic power to generate magic type abilities. The color of magic comes from a person's personality and aptitude. For example, Priscilla is pink, and hawk is white. The Witches are using black magic, meaning, their magic color is black.

Ash's magic color is gray, Carina is yellow, Konan is red, Faye is green, and Sarah is blue. I asked them. If the skill I said that I have is charm, are they expecting my magic power to be color pink? But I am not really sure.

My classmates that are in the same group as me began to show their magic, different types and colors. It's beautiful, I must say.

"Why aren't you doing anything, Andromeda?" Ash asked. I'm glad you asked, sir.

"I haven't done this before," I answered.

Ash's was surprised to hear that. "What?! Were you born yesterday?!"

How irritating. I sighed and rolled my eyes. 

"Close your eyes," he said. He moved my arms forward. "Now imagine a core. Imagine the magic coming out of that core."

Imagine. Ah! I saw it, the core. Please magic power, come out. I felt something hot coming out of my chest and traveling to my palms. That was easy. Of course it's easy because it's not real. I just hacked into my system a little bit that's why I can imitate magic now. But this is not magic but condensed energy that imitates magic including the effects. 

"Open your eyes."

I opened my eyes and saw my hands giving off my magic power, it's magenta! What a beautiful color with lots of glitters. Oh, wait! It's fading! It faded.

"How much value that caused you?" Ash asked.

Ah, let me see. "30."

"I see. I guess if you cannot control your magic, your value falls down very fast." He looked so serious, did I do something wrong? "Your magic is charm, right?"

I nodded. Is he going to make me use it? I sweated. 

"That's hard to train, knowing it is not elemental and the effect it has on your body." Yeah, right? "You may be strong in terms of physical attacks and guns, you're terribly weak when it comes to magic."

I nodded. I just hope this ends, I don't know how to keep up with this anymore.

"Why don't we try to refer you to a higher charm magic user?"

"I refuse," I answered quickly. There's no way I'd agree with that.

"Then we'll have no choice but to keep you releasing your magic power without control, it will increase your MP but you will not develop any skill. Maybe you will be able to use your charm better if you increase your magic power." He scratched his head.

"That's fine," I said. It's fine. I'll increase my MP and develop magic type skills in secret. 

"Then please continue on releasing your magic."

He left and assisted the other students. I did what he said and focused on controlling the amount of magic power (energy) I release.

While we, the class 1-B, are busy going through the rough training with the class 2-A, the class 1-A are also busy training with their teacher.

If you're wondering why teacher Diana is not the one who's training us, she is not into personal battle type, she is actually in charge of the machineries and the large guns. I should ask her some time to help me with using a gun.

The reason why we are training so hard is because someone told me that there is going to be a competition against all the sections of class 1. The sections A, B, C, D, and E are going to fight against each other, the teachers will be in charge of choosing where the students are going to fight, whether it's in the battle royale, one versus one, race, group battle, and et cetera.

This got me hyped up a little bit, I must say, watching a match is fun.
