BXBX NOVEL Chapter 191 191 Extra Training 2
Selena raised her hands and a magic circle was drawn, she looked towards Ray and told him to compare both of them.
"Okay, yeah I see the mistake now, there\'s supposed to be a line, here and here, then I need to erase here and here and done, right," Ray said as he looked up again.
"You can\'t draw the magic circle,"
"Yeah, I need to study it more," Ray said.
"Then how did you cast the spell, you can\'t just cast any spell because you are angry...so how did you cast the spell" Selena clicked her tongue as she asked.
"That means I didn\'t cast the spell, you know it tried to kill me, if I cast the spell it wouldn\'t have tried to kill me"
"When did your ability awaken?" Selena asked.
\'My abilities...ohh she talking about my attribute, normally mages get their attribute at the age of 15, so I\'ll just say 18\' Ray mumbled under his breath.
"18" Ray spoke out loud.
"Why did you come to the mage academy, I\'m sure you were happy, and how did it awaken?"
"I was already in the knight academy and it just came once, I didn\'t show it because I was in the knight academy"
"Explain what happened when your attribute manifested," Selena said.
"I don\'t understand, should I explain what I was doing when it happened or what"
"There was a certain boy I came across, when his attribute awaken he burnt down his house by mistake, so what happened when yours came"
"Usually it happened when the person is in danger, or someone is in danger or something like that" Selena explained.
"Wait...why am I asking you these questions, I forgot you are a beast, I totally forgot about that,"
"I was human, and I don\'t being like called a beast..." Ray said in anger.
"So how long did you live as a human, and where did you live, do you have parents, are they still alive?"
"I lived as a human for 18 years, my parents are dead and I don\'t remember where I lived" Ray snorted.
"If you don\'t remember where you lived, how did you know you lived for 18 years and your parents are dead... there\'s something you are not telling me" Selena spoke In a hoarse voice.
"There is nothing" Ray also spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Wow... I\'m really scared you know, Humans don\'t just transform into beasts, and beasts don\'t just transform into humans...and I\'ve never seen a beast that looks like you"
"..." Ray didn\'t speak he just stood there staring at Selena as she spoke.
"Let\'s get back to training... let\'s start with...what do you want to learn first?" Selena asked him.
"I don\'t know, let\'s continue with the dark cloak," Ray said.
"Dark cloak is a spell that acts as a defensive shield around you, but mages don\'t usually need a shield because most of them don\'t fight hand combat, they prefer to do things from a distance"
"But as a knight, you would need the spell because it would be important, but that raises a big question, can you keep a spell up and continue fighting with a sword?"
"But yesterday it happened," Ray said also immediately.
"Okay then, do it again, cast the spell, and attack me..." Selena said but Ray couldn\'t answer her.
"Before we start, are you stronger in your human form or in your beast form...what am I asking, you are obviously stronger in your beast form, did you get to see Luna\'s powers?"
"Yes, she turned into a werewolf, she was crazy strong, she would have to defeat Draco if not for some reason" Ray spoke.
"So are you crazy strong when in your beast form or you are just strong?"
"Why are you asking, do you want to expose me"
"No, I want you to be crazy strong like Luna but without a time limit"
\'What is she proposing, she wants me to be crazy strong, how does she want to do that\'
"How do you..." before Ray could finish Selena cut him off.
"Change into a beast"
"What!! you want me to change...here?"
"Yes, no one would find out, and if anyone gets too close, I would tell you to transform back" Selena spoke.
"Okay ma\'am," Ray said intensionally so he would provoke her but Selena didn\'t mind.
[Transformation]
Ray transformed into his beast form and looked at Selena, Selena had seen him before but she was still admiring him like a piece of steak for dinner.
"Have you ever tried running on four legs?" Selena asked.
"Huh!! why would I do that, I\'m a human so I can\'t be comfortable running on fours" Ray replied.
"You are human yes, but are you human now, try to run on four legs and see how it feels, and run at top speed, don\'t slow down because you are uncomfortable" Selena ordered.
Ray bent down and stood on all fours, he stood still for a while before he was ready to run, standing on all fours was uncomfortable for him so he knew running would be too.
Ray stood back up and looked at Selena before speaking, "I don\'t think I can, even standing is uncomfortable"
"Just try it"
"How would I even try it, I\'m used to being human, and besides most high-level beasts are often humanoid so it\'s the same," Ray said.
You know you are wasting time right, just try it so we can move on"
"Okay, okay...here we go," Ray said and jumped on all fours.
\'It\'s not how I expect, it\'s actually nice\'
Ray ran around for a while before standing up under Selena\'s order.
"So we\'re you faster or slower?"
"I don\'t know, I\'ll keep trying," Ray said with a smile.
"I thought you didn\'t want to do it, but now you are thinking of trying that\'s nice, so to the matter at hand, fighting and casting spells at the same time"
"I should show you an example right, or I should not"
"Show me" Ray replied.
Selena closed her eyes and spoke some words slowly a dark cloak began to envelop her entire body except her face.
Selena stretch her right hand and the darkness extended and form a sword in her hands. Immediately she dashed toward Ray and swung the sword immediately.
Ray sidestepped and avoided the attack, Selena didn\'t stop instead she kept attacking Ray. He dodged all of her attacks and after a while, she stopped.
"Mages have Mana and knights have Ki. Humans can\'t use both of them, either you have Mana which makes you a mage, or you train your body and learn the use of Ki which makes you a knight"
"But you can use both right?"
"Yes," Ray answered.
"Do you know why...because you are a beast, beasts are normally stronger than humans and a beast with a magical attribute has Mana, so you have both Mana and Ki"
"If you can\'t use them at will then that\'s a shame" Selena shook her head as she finished speaking.
"So you want me to use both Mana and Ki at the same time?" Ray asked.
"It\'s not that I want you to, it\'s necessary because [Dark cloak] involves releasing Mana from your body, and if you can\'t do that when fighting learning the spell is useless for you"
"I can release Mana from my body, that\'s not the problem, I need to learn the spell first," Ray said.
"Okay if you say so then let\'s work with the spells you have now, trap me with your [Dark Binds] and attack me," Selena told Ray.
"Okay," Ray said and placed both of his hands together.
[Dark Binds]
Dark ropes sprouted from the ground and held Selena, she stood still and didn\'t move or make an attempt to break free. As soon as Ray separated his hands and began to run towards her she broke free from the ropes.
Ray stopped and Selena spoke, "The moment you let go of your hands, your trap becomes so weak that even a kid would be able to break out of it"
"You need lots of magical training, like a lot of it"
"What do I need to do"
"There are steps that new mages take, first you need to be able to draw magic circles and create a magic circle from seeing a spell, second you need to increase your Mana pool"
"You said create a magic circle from seeing a spell, what does that mean?" Ray asked.
"When a mage has fire attribute, and another mage casts a fire spell that is new to the first mage, he\'s supposed to know how to draw the magic circle for the spell," Selena said.
