Firework Show

His control over the spell wasn't bad

'I guess learning Flame helped me with that, But I still need more training'

First, Leus decided to focus on increasing his Mana Pool

He created small fireballs and tried to maintain them for as long as possible, and when his Mana Pool reached critical levels he would release them and sleep until it was full again. Then repeat the process.

'Increasing my Mana Pool is extremely useful, It also allows me to train longer'

Like that, A couple of weeks passed

Nothing special happened during these days

Viorica spent most of her time either doing housework or teaching Amethyst different things

After a couple of clever tricks, She also managed to convince Merlin to start studying.

So while Leus was training outside, His siblings would be studying inside.

During these days, Leus only stopped his training to eat or sleep, He only focused on his Magic training

'It turned out to be much more difficult than I thought, So I need to train harder to make sure that I'll be done on time.'

When Leus was two years and eight months old, He decided that he no longer needed to focus solely on his Mana Pool

'I can stop worrying about my mana pool now. Training should go smoothly'

Sure, It wasn't perfect nor as big as Leus wanted, But it was enough to allow him to train for a long time without problems

'And it would increase over time anyway'

So Leus started focusing again on spells

He started to silently cast Fireball, But this time he changed the spell's speed and size to be as big as he could and launched it in the air

Whoosh

A fireball the size of a head launched into the air

'Not so big but it should be enough'

He altered the spell a couple of times and launched various fireballs into the air

'Basically, any should work'

'I'll stick with skull-sized fireballs and maximum speed'

After Leus decided which fireball would be his primary focus he decided to try something interesting

'What if I explode the fireball in the middle of the air?'

He cast his skull-sized fireballs and launched them into the air

After a couple of seconds, he willed them to explode

snap

' ... Well that's disappointing'

The explosion was very small, It hardly sounded like someone had snapped his fingers

It looked a bit cool but it didn't look like it could do any damage

' ... Unless I make the size huge'

When Leus got this thought, He decided to spend all his remaining Mana on creating a single, huge fireball

The fireball kept expanding and expanding, consuming all the mana it could.

It kept growing until it became 7 times bigger than a normal skull-sized fireball, That's when Leus stopped

'If I make it bigger then I won't have enough mana to launch or explode it'

Leus launched the big ball

Tssssssss

The speed was extremely slow

Leus felt as if he was slowly pushing it up further and further rather than saying that he launched it

Luckily, He had enough Mana to make it reach high enough that it wouldn't damage the house or the surroundings if it exploded

When it was high enough, Leus willed the spell to explode

BOOOOOOOM

The explosion was both loud and bright

Leus had to avert his gaze because of the blinding light show, For a moment, It felt like another sun was on top of Leus' head

The explosion was absolutely spectacular

Leus was impressed by his work

'It's the best fireworks I've ever seen in my life'

Viorica came out of the house hurriedly and said in a panicked voice

"Leus are you okay?"

Leus just looked at her confused

'Why wouldn't I be okay?'

Viorica looked around her for a couple of seconds and found nothing out of the ordinary, Then the realization hit her

"Leus, Did - Did you do that?"

"Do what?" Leus' voice was very tired, He already spent most of his Mana and wanted to sleep

"That ... I don't know? What happened just now, Did you do it? That explosion?"

"Oh, you mean the fireball?"

He nodded proudly

"Yes, It was my spell"

"Spell? Does the book have such dangerous spells?"

'Ahh .. Right, It shouldn't have been that big'

Leus tried to explain

"Not exactly, That's my personal version of the spell, I was trying to explode a big fireball in the air"

"Why would you do something like that? That's dangerous!

Don't do it again without supervision, Okay?"

Leus just yawned then nodded and walked inside

"I understand, I won't explode big fireballs again

I'm pretty tired mom, I trained a lot, Is there something you need, or should I go to sleep?"

"It's ... It's fine, You can sleep Leus"

Leus went to his room, And Viorica stood in the yard

'Leus is so scary sometimes'

She looked around in the garden and saw that there was nothing out of the ordinary

'At least he's being careful and considerate of his own safety and his surroundings'

After that, Viorica went back inside, And the day soon ended.

However, That night, Crimson-Walls' Guards received tens of reports about suspicious activities going on in a particular area of the city.

The next day, Leus got up and went to the garden to start his training as usual

'I'm going to experiment with fireballs for a couple more days, Then I'll focus on a new spell'

He had a couple of things on his mind that he wanted to try with the spell

'I want to try launching two fireballs at the same time, Or smashing two into each other'

Such things weren't of any practical use but still, they helped him to understand the spell better and be ready for any unexpected situation.

'More importantly, They're fun and cool'

Leus was experimenting with different ideas, But while he was busy in his training, a man's voice interrupted him

"Hey kid, What are you doing?"
