Chapter 16: The nature of your magic.
The next day, very early in the morning, Sarah and the others were gathered in the middle of the training air.
Franck and two soldiers faced them.
'' Yesterday I had time to observe your combat techniques. I must admit that for kids you have a very good level. However, you are not yet up to what I hope for you. ''
Franck has been released the flow of his mana and the atmosphere has become heavy.
'' With your current level I would have no difficulty killing you all four at the same time. ''
Franck's statements seemed to have thwarted them.
However, they knew very well that his words were true especially in the face of the power he gave off.
'' I'm going to quickly take stock. Some of you are already aware of magic and have already used it in combat. I'm talking about both of you, Raphaël and Isabella. ''
During their recent fight which had opposed them to Sarah and Griffus, Raphaël and Isabella had used spells that allowed them to have an advantage over their opponent.
'' On the other hand, however, have shown to be predisposed to use magic. I'm talking about you Sarah Antagana. ''
Sarah displayed a surprised air.
'' During your last attack you covered your sword with your mana to amplify the power of your blow. This already proves that you have no trouble materializing your mana and feeling it circulating in your body. ''
Franck then turned his gaze to Griffus.
'' As for you, your way of fighting is hazardous. You do not master any style of fencing combat and also I don't think you are the type to fight using magic. But I was impressed by your unique combat style. It is for this reason that unlike others, your training will be more special. Because I think that among you four you are the one who has the highest potential in combat. ''
Griffus displayed a satisfied smile.
Franck released a piece of paper on which a magic seal was drawn.
'' Gamine approach. ''
He addressed Sarah and encouraged him to get closer to him.
Sarah obeyed and approached.
'' Take this sheet and breathe your mana inside. ''
Franck held out the sheet and Sarah recovered it with a suspicious air.
'' Reassure you there is no trap. ''
Franck having noticed Sarah's reluctance decided to reassure her.
'' This sheet will reveal the nature of your magic. ''
'' The nature of my magic? ''
'' Yes. But it only works with elementary magic. Water, earth, fire, air and lightning. If the nature of your magic corresponds to one of these elements, a reaction will occur. ''
'' What if nothing happens? ''
'' So you are one of the people with a magic derived from its five elements. To find out what magic it is in this kind of situation we use a specific artifact. But as you can see we don't have any then you will have to settle for this basic test. ''
Sarah firmly grabbed the sheet with one hand and began to breathe her mana.
'' If the leaf gets wet the nature of your magic is water. If it then burns the nature of your magic is fire. If she then tears the nature of your magic is the air. If it then disintegrates the nature of your magic is the earth. And finally if several holes are formed on the piece of paper then the nature of your magic is lightning. ''
Sarah continued to breathe her mana.
After a while the sheet caught fire and burned.
"So it's fire. '' Said Franck.
"So that's the nature of my magic ..." said Sarah surprised.
Sarah had just discovered the nature of her magic.
She watched her hand without saying a single word.
"With this power, I could perhaps do it ..."
Sarah concluded that by fully exploiting this potential, her strength could be increased tenfold and that would be beneficial to her in her quest for revenge.
His morale skyrocketed and his gaze displayed again of confidence.
'' Do you want to try? '' Asked Franck.
Sarah looked at him for a moment and paid her attention to her right hand.
'' Try to release your mana while visualizing flames get out of your hand. ''
By listening to Franck's advice, Sarah positioned her right hand forward and was released her mana.
She closed her eyes and visualized flames emanated from her arm.
But the dark reasons for which she wanted to bring out these flames reappeared the feelings of hatred which housed her and they resonated with her slave seal.
Sarah felt the interior of her bubbed body and the ambient temperature is soaring.
'' I don't feel good ... '' Exclaimed Isabella who watched the scene.
When Sarah opened her eyes, huge flames arose with her hand and rose high in the air.
'' Aaaaaah! ''
Sarah began to scream in pain.
'' She fell in love. '' Said Raphaël.
'' It's ... It's a crazy ... crazy thing. '' Said Griffus with an amused smile.
Sarah had lost control of her flames and she seemed to consume her own body.
His cries of distress and pain resounded on the training air.
Franck assistant to the scene ordered one of his soldiers to put out the flames.
The soldier executed and used a spell of the water element to turn it off.
Sarah collapsed on the ground trying to catch her breath.
His right arm had severe burns and steam emerged there.
"Your flames are beautiful and powerful. But if you can't make the hatred you feel disappear, you can never use it. ''
'' ...! ''
