Flamey, you are the best!

"You… You want me to use this Magic Circle…?" Vaan questioned with a surprised look on his face.

"Krriiii!"

Flamey nodded with a bright look on her face.

Vaan, however, just shook his head and chuckled.

"It would be great if I could use this Magic Circle, 6 Inner Circles, and more space to draw Magic Patterns, I could cast advanced spells even though I am a 1st Circle Mage, but that is not how it works, Flamey.

You can't just increase the size of the Circle and the number of Inner Circles like that. If that is how it worked, I would have created an extremely big Magic Circle with thousands of Inner Circles, then I would have been invincible.

There are Magic Theories that you need to understand before you form your circle, if you do not, then you won't be able to form your circle or it will just break away.

I have to say though, I am grateful that you are trying to help me, Flamey. Although it wouldn't work, I appreciate the effort.

You are adorable." Vaan spoke as he patted Flamey's head.

"Krriiiii!"

Flamey, however, pouted as she jumped back.

She used flames to cross out Vaan's Circle and moved the circle she created in front of Vaan's eyes.

Although she couldn't speak, her message was clear,

'Make it!'

In the end, Vaan just shook his head and chuckled again.

In front of Flamey's tantrum, he had to give in.

He just needed to show her that it wouldn't work.

Vaan absorbed the surrounding Mana, and soon, formed the Circle that Flamey had shown him.

Vaan raised his eyebrow when the Circle was formed successfully, however, just as he expected, the moment the Circle formed, it broke apart.

"Do you understand now? You can't just blindly create a Circle ignoring all the theories, it wouldn't work."

Vaan spoke with a smile on his face.

"Krri Krrriii!"

"What? You want me to make one again?"

"Krrii!"

"You are being childish now."

"Krrri Krrri!"

"Haaahh…"

Vaan sighed.

"Whatever."

He repeated the process, and soon, he formed the Circle again, however, just as the Circle was about to break again, Flamey appeared right beside Vaan's hand and placed her hands on the Circle.

The Circle shone brightly and Vaan's expression changed.

'No way…'

The Circle…

It was getting brighter and clearer…

It… it was actually working…

'This shouldn't work!'

Vaan exclaimed inwardly, unable to believe his eyes.

His eyes then fell on little Flamey who was focusing on the Magic Circle.

'Is it because of her…?'

Vaan wondered in his head.

'But how…?'

He couldn't understand.

He was 100% sure that this Magic Circle goes against at least 5 to 6 Magic Theories and that was just amongst the theories he knew, who knows how many more theories does this magic circle go against!?

How was this working!?

"Krrriii!"

And as if sensing his doubt, Flamey exclaimed, then, the Mana inside Vaan's body moved on its own, the Magic Patterns started appearing on the Magic Circle and Vaan's eyes widened in shock.

His Mana… it was moving on its own!!

No, it was better to say that Flamey was able to move his Mana!

'How is that possible!?'

The surprise, however, wasn't over yet.

*Flicker*

A Fireball was created.

Flamey used the Magic Circle and Vaan's mana to cast a spell.

'She… how can she use my Mana!?'

Horrified, Vaan decided to move his Mana on his own, or in other words, tried to push away Flamey's external influence.

*Flicker* *Flicker*

The Fireball Flamey cast became unstable as Flamey lost control over Vaan's spell.

"Krriii~"

Flamey glanced at Vaan and pouted.

"So you need my permission to use my Mana?"

Vaan tried to make sense out of this situation.

"Krrrii~"

Flamey nodded her head.

With a doubtful look on his face, Vaan imagined setting his Mana free, allowing Flamey to use his Mana again.

It was a strange feeling, however, Vaan trusted Flamey.

*Flicker*

The Fireball stabilized.

Soon, Vaan's mana ran out, Flamey then moved in front of his face, and with her hands on her waist, she glanced at Vaan with a big smile on her face.

She was obviously proud.

Vaan, however, was too shocked to just laugh it off.

What he witnessed in this past few minutes broke nearly all the magic theories he had crammed all this while.

Flamey did not only create a never seen Magic Circle that improved a Mage's strength by at least 50%, but she also took control over his Mana and cast Magic Spells using his Magic Patterns.

Theories related to Magic Circles.

Theories that stated that only a Mage can use his own Mana.

The theory that no other being could cast magic by copying another Mage's Magic Patterns.

Little Flamey broke them all!

And now, she was standing in front of him, with her little hands on her waist, chin raised and her little chest all puffed up.

'W-What in the world…'

"Krriii."

Suddenly, Flamey called out again.

She then created Magic Circle using her Flames again and pointed at the 6 Inner Circles.

"You… You want me to store magic spells in these circles?"

"Krrri Krii."

Flamey nodded and this time, Vaan couldn't help but be excited.

To heck with the magic theories and breaking the rules?

Was he someone who cared about things like that before?

Why was he going out of character now?

His little Flamey was helping him, how can he not use this to his own advantage?

With this Magic Circle…

Won't he be unparalleled amongst the 1st Circle Mages?

6 Inner Circles!

[Fire Spike], [Direction Manipulation], [Speed], and, [Clear].

He wasn't restricted to just these 4 spells now. He could store more.

Now he wasn't just restricted to attack, he could use a defense spell as well.

[Flame Wall.]

A wall of Flames that burns away all the attacks aimed toward the Caster. Honestly, [Transformation] spell was usually used with [Flame Wall], this way, the mage could change the shape of his Flame Walls, increasing its efficiency and strength, however, Vaan, who was innately more aggressive had a different idea.

[Burst].

He decided to use this instead of [Transformation].

[Burst], along with [Speed], his attack would not only be faster than normal, it would also explode after attacking his enemy, exponentially increasing the firepower of his spells.

'Heh,'

A smile appeared on Vaan's face.

He took out another piece of paper and started drawing Flamey's circle with an excited look on his face.

"Flamey, you are the best!"

Vaan praised.

"Krrriiii~~"

Flamey patted her little bicep with a proud look on her face before she comfortably sat on Vaan's head, waiting for him to complete the circle.
