Chapter 5

"Let's refresh your memory first, okay?"

I nod and watch as my teacher explains Demonic Magic to me.

"Devil Magic is different from human magic. We can use it in two ways. The first one involves the power of imagination and the ability to create. However, let me share a little secret with you. The power to create is nothing but your will."

"I see. So, I need to create an image in my mind and will it to appear from my mind."

"That is right! It might sound easy, but it is not. You need the details to already appear inside your mind. The simpler the imagination, the more energy you will use. If you imagine fire inside your head and nothing else, you will get fire, but it will take more energy than when you imagine the fire with how much heat it will produce and how much bigger it needs."

I blink a little at that explanation. That's it? That is the only requirement for this spell, huh?

"Does that mean the less I imagine, the more my energy fills the blank, teacher?"

"That is correct. A simple spell will not do much, but the more complex the spell, the more imagination and the power of will you need to use. I cannot give you the right example because you need to practice it to notice them."

"Right. I understand. What about the second one, teacher?"

"Of course! The second one is to use your Family Crest. As a member of the Phenex Family, you have a Family Magic Crest that lets you cheat the human magic system. If the human needs to construct their own magic circle to cast a spell, you do not need to do that. You can use your Family Crest to copy the effect of the spell you want. You do not need to calculate anything like a human magician and only need to learn some ancient devil runic alphabet to create the effect of the human spell."

That is another cheat. Bloody hell. That is a great cheat innate ability to have.

"We will learn the Demonic Runic Alphabet later. For now, you can learn how to cast spells from your family's grimoire. This is the book that your family owns that stores countless spells that humans create. This grimoire is also the reason why many human magicians want to make a contract with your family. They want to access some of the spells inside this grimoire and also access your family magic crest to cheat their way through the magic circle creation. I know that Lord and Lady Phenex will teach you, but I will warn you not to easily accept any contracts from humans. As a Devil, we need to sell our service for something big and for someone who has great potential to have as an ally."

I nod and say.

"I understand, teach."

"Good. Now, let's practice some magic."

I nod happily and get up from the ground.

"Take a deep breath and think. Think of a fireball with a diameter of one meter and can create an explosion strong enough to destroy that boulder I prepared."

I nod and start imagining a massive fireball in my head; make it one meter in diameter and make sure it explodes like TnT of fire. After that, I make sure what I am thinking appears in reality, and when I feel the heat coming from above me, I open my eyes.

"Perfect! You are a genius, young master! Now, throw that fireball at the boulder in front of you!"

I nod and move my right hand to throw the fireball. My fireball flies at the boulder and explodes on impact. The explosion is so big that my teacher needs to shield me from the debris I created.

"Master! That is so cool!"

I look to the side and see Yubelluna shouting at my magic. Right, she loves explosions. She is just like Megumin, who wants to be the greatest explosion magician in the world.

"Thank you, Yubelluna."

She smiles brightly at me, and I look back at my teacher.

"So, what do I need to do now, teach?"

"Now, you need to continue to train. Lucky for you, you already have a high energy reserve from all the training before you get your Evil Pieces and your bloodline. That means you can train for a long time and grow even more. Try to juggle between elements for now before we get even more complex magic. While you are training, I will train your queen."

"Of course."

My teacher walks to the side and starts to teach Yubelluna some magic. While she teaches my queen, I decide to do what she told me to do. I take a deep breath and imagine the elemental magic appearing from the tip of my finger.

To my surprise, it appears easily. Is this the power of the devil race and my perk combined? From Riser's memory, I know that he is not a prodigy. Even though my father and mother only taught me how to control fire before my 13th birthday, I know that I did not have this control.

I shake my head and start doing the elemental spell's next stage. I try combining wind and water to create ice, but it takes a lot of my energy. I look at the small ball of ice above my palm and sigh a little.

Water is still too much for me. They are the opposite of my nature. As a creature of fire, ice is something above the current me. Maybe in the future.

I take a deep breath and imagine fire and earth combining together. I create an image of a liquid fire, and I can see a ball of lava appear above my palm. I smile a little and throw the lava away. I cannot hold the grin off my face because I know I can create something big with this knowledge.

I combine the Phenex Clan's two elements: Fire and Wind.

I concentrate and push a lot of my energy into this one. After almost a minute of concentration, I create a ball of blue fire. I can feel an intense heat coming from the flame. I throw it to the boulder my teacher already prepared for me.

Even though it does not explode, the boulder melts when it touches my blue fire. I laugh happily at the result and say.

"I shall name this combination Blue Butterfly."

Now, let's see if I can get all the Combined Nature Transformation from the Naruto series. I cannot wait to test all of them! Let's wait for my energy to recover first before testing more. I use quite a bit of energy to create that blue fire.
