Chapter 143 Irina’s Lesson (Part 3)
After thoroughly inspecting Yvonne to make sure she didn't suffer any kind of damage, Irina approached Daimon and held his hand.
Currents of electricity crackled on Daimon's skin from time to time, but after inspecting his body with her mana sense, Irina reached a shocking conclusion.
A glow of surprise flashed through her eyes for a second as she thought.
"Father already told me he had an incredibly strong build since he is a variant, but the recoil of a team spell doesn't affect the outer layer of the body, but the inside… even if you were to be a knight, only those at the lord realms have started to reinforce their organs".
Irina let go of Daimon and she shook her head.
"Kid what is your body made of, whatever, next time at the very least let me know before doing something reckless… specially if Yvi is involved".
Daimon heard the serious yet worried tone in Irina's words and he could relate to it, just like for him, Aisha and the other girls were his treasure, Yvonne was the same for Irina.
"It wasn't my intention, I just thought it was going to be faster if I tried with both of them at the same time, I'll take note for future cases".
Irina's impression of Daimon went up a bit after that, she then looked at her daughter and got lost in her thoughts for a moment.
"Forget it, you seem to have a really high control of your mana, do you think you can resist a second team spell cast, this time one of darkness element?".
Daimon nodded.
"No problem, but I tell me what spell will be, I first did it with Aisha because we both know the same lightning element spells".
Irina smiled and then called her daughter, nightmare canopy was out of question because only those from the night sparrow clan knew it, in fact most of the spells Yvonne knew were exclusive of her family.
"Mm", Yvonne was listing the spells she knew in her mind, when she remembered the welcome party.
"How about "dark spears", it was the one you used against that guy before right?".
Daimon walked towards Yvonne and stood next to her.
"Okay", dark spears were also a wide range spell, but unlike tempest it only covered an area of 10 meters, the reason was that their damage was concentrated and also they appeared out of nowhere which made them hard to dodge unlike lightning which was easily noticeable.
As soon as Daimon held her hand, Yvonne noticed their mana flows were in the same frequency, so she extended her arm and casted the spell.
"Dark spears!"
Lots of black spears rose from the ground covering an area of about forty meters, in terms of range could seem to be lacking compared to the long area affected by the tempest Aisha casted… but in terms of danger the spears overwhelmed lightning.
Darkness wasn't a rare affinity for nothing, some people had the capacity of infecting others with it, similar to what Daimon did to Leir, while suppressing it with a big amount of mana is possible, completely eliminating it, needs a specialized potion or a healer which used the light element.
While Yvonne didn't have that attribute in her darkness, Daimon did and as long as he wanted, being scratched by his darkness would cause a severe pain similar to being burned with acid.
Similar to how corrosive light worked against races oriented to the night… but the difference was that darkness didn't differentiate.
That being said of course Daimon didn't use something like that, this was just a demonstration after all.
After a couple of seconds, the spears disappeared, Yvonne let go of Daimon's hand, surprised by how strong was the spell she casted with his help and also how easy it was for them to cooperate.
"Even with mom it took us some time before we succeeded, he even took all the recoil", she thought.
Irina's emotional status was over the moon right now, although she knew it was probably Daimon's doing, that they could succeed in their first try, it was also true that her daughter was now part of the few members of the young generation that could cast a team spell.
She couldn't contain her smile as she thought.
"Finally, everyone will see how talented is my Yvi".
Yvonne felt a shiver run through her spine as she felt her mother's gaze, which made her remember when she was little how she wanted her to participate in beauty contests.
"Ahem, mom are we finished here?".
Irina saw her daughter giving her an accusatory gaze and she feigned ignorance.
"Of course, dear, this lesson was just an introduction, so you three can go and rest".
Originally the idea was for them to just feel their mana flow, just like how Michael and Leslie were still focusing on it, but then Daimon pulled something as outrageous as a first try success in team spells.
Daimon, Yvonne and Aisha walked towards the place where the others were sitting and sat next to them, Liliana smiled at Yvonne, although she didn't show it, she was truly happy for her friend.
Calvin on the other hand chuckled.
"Class rep, leave something for us brothers, at this rate we won't be able to brag in front of others".
Daimon was in a good mood after confirming he could team up with Aisha even without core synchrony, so he just shrugged at Calvin.
"After we kick Alexander's ass, you can brag about having the young master of the Jolbaris family as your lackey during the exploration".
Calvin's eyes glowed.
"With that my old man will stop nagging me for some time".
The lesson stopped once Leslie and Michael started showing signs of exhaustion, previously they were too concentrated to notice Aisha and Yvonne casting spells, so both of them were confused when they saw the them resting, while only they were still on the platform.
Needless to say, both of them were in awe when Irina told them how Aisha and Yvonne managed to cast a team spell.
"That's not fair, if Daimon had fire affinity, I bet I would have been able to do the same", said Leslie as she pouted, of course she was just joking around, feeling happy for her friend.
Listening to Leslie, Michael had a bitter expression on his face.
"Ahem, that is a bit insulting… but I guess we should have expected it from Daimon".
Now that the lesson was finished, Boris took over, he still hasn't told them about the newest changes in the exploration and how the competition was moved to the next week, and they were still curious about why Daimon was called to the office of the principal.
Boris stood up in front of his students and then proceeded to tell them, about how the number of participants was diminished and also the thing about how a mage lord from every academy has the chance to enter.
"On our side the mage lord who will be entering is the vice principal from the snow leopard tribe which evaluated us at the third admission test, Loren might have seen her as she is also the one in charge of the library".
Daimon then remembered that Loren didn't pass through that, so he complemented his explanation.
Liliana saw the word "black" written on the badge and she frowned her brows.
"Why does it say black, is it perhaps related to the test the one holding it will have to go through?".
Both Boris remained silent for a moment, before replying.
"It wasn't written in the rules found with them, the other badges are "red", "green" and "white", they were randomly distributed under the supervision of the sage as it was previously agreed".
Michael doubted for a moment before saying what was on his mind.
"If we win the competition the next week, can't we leave Alexander and his loser class outside of the exploration and choose who will come with us?".
Daimon's eyes glowed, he was thinking the same, if he was honest then the Jolbaris and him were bound to clash at some point, so of course he didn't want them to get anything from the legacies that might be hidden inside the magic ruin.
Boris saw their hostile expressions and he sighed.
"Unfortunately, that's out of reach… unless something extreme happens, the best of the elite class is what should be sent, if by any chance you were to lose your match, then you'll be out of the exploration".
Daimon's serious voice caught Boris's attention.
"Something extreme huh, what if they are too beaten to participate?".
Boris smirked.
"Kid all the tutors, the vice principals the disciplinary committee and the principal will be witnessing the matches, on the other hand I think with the exception of the Jolbaris brat the others aren't priority".
Liz leaned her head against Daimon's shoulder as she spoke.
"So, Arthur Jolbaris has already bought a spot for his son, is what you are trying to say".
Boris nodded, with a tired expression.
"The dissuasion of two half emperors can't be simply ignored after all".
