\'Fuuh, ok, just focus on the flame and try to keep it stable.\' He thought to himself as his eyes turned sharp.

Slowly, he tried to control the flames and make them fly from his hands. Even with the first failure, he still didn\'t believe that these flames were impossible to control. After all, the first attempt wasn\'t even an attempt, to begin with, or that was at least what he thought.

After a few seconds, he tried to blast it again. At first, the flames didn\'t flicker and surprisingly, they moved two inches away from him.

\'It\'s working!\' Talon\'s eyes flashed with excitement for a split second.

However, before he could even celebrate, the flames suddenly started flickering like before. Seeing that, his senses kicked as he immediately jumped back using all his strength.

*BOOOOOOM*

The flames exploded again violently as smoke rose in the air.

"Fuuuh… That was close." Talon murmured as he wiped his face.

"Mastering how to control those flames isn\'t easy. Even the Eternal Flame clan members take years to actually learn how to make the flames submit to their control. Knowing you, though, you would either take a few months to master it. Or, a few days." Acrypha said with a deadpan expression.

\'I\'m not going to let him shock me anymore. I\'m ready to see it happen in a few days.\' She thought to herself.

"A few days, huh? Hmm, no, I think that\'s too much time. I want to use it tomorrow so I want to learn how to control it today." He said.

"... Today?"

"Yeah, I don\'t know about what you said, but I don\'t feel like it\'s something that would take more than a few hours to do. It doesn\'t seem that hard." Talon shrugged.

Even though he failed twice, Talon didn\'t feel like he was so far away from actually executing a good fireball.

"Did you hear what I said? The geniuses of the Eternal Flame clan would usually take a few years to learn how to use these flames! I said a few days knowing your monstrosity of a talent. A few hours isn\'t even a funny joke at this point."

"Hmm, is it now?" Talon asked as he seemed deep in thought. Acrypha\'s words didn\'t seem to affect him at all.

\'Sigh, I\'m going to grow a few years older in a few months because of this kid.\' She facepalmed silently.

But, then again, even with his ridiculousness, this was what made Acrypha find Talon special, not even as a talent, but even as a personality. His unpredictable thought process and often over-the-top ideas never get old and it always feels like fresh air to her.

"Hmm…" Humming to himself, Talon stared at his hand for a long while. His eyes flashed with a weird glint every now and then.

Acrypha didn\'t know what he was thinking of and she didn\'t want to break his focus so she remained silent and watched from the sidelines. She felt that he was coming up with some kind of idea.

Eventually, he looked up at Acrypha and asked. "What method does the Eternal Flames clan use when they practice controlling the azure flames?"

"General method? Hmm, from what I heard, they simply try to forcefully make the flames follow their orders. It\'s the only method they taught anyway."

"Oh, interesting…" He murmured as he finally stepped forward again.

Then, Talon created another flame with his hand before he aimed it forward. However, this time, he didn\'t try to make it fly forward.

Instead, he flipped his hand up and left the flame to float on top of it. Then, he simply looked at it silently for a while. His body was frozen completely as if time stopped for him.

\'What is he doing?\' Acrypha thought to herself as she watched Talon curiously. She couldn\'t understand what kind of practice was this. He wasn\'t even trying to throw the fireball away.

But, she still watched, because she felt that Talon was up to something… Something really interesting.

Minutes passed in silence, nothing could be heard except for the occasional gushes of wind that moved through the empty field.

Talon\'s body was still in the same position and didn\'t move at all. His focused eyes didn\'t seem to be aware of anything around him. It seemed like he was doing nothing at all However, at some point, Acrypha started to notice some odd changes, especially to the Azure flame.

Before, even when it was floating on his hand, it wasn\'t as imposing as she knew it after seeing it before. But, now, she started to notice that the flames were changing. Their color was growing brighter and their flickering stopped.

\'Hm?\' Acrypha squinted her eyes.

The changes were rather sudden and unexpected since the entire time, Talon wasn\'t really doing anything except staring at the flames.

Then, before she could even speak, Talon\'s fingers closed as they left the flame to float on the tips before he snapped them.

The moment he did that, the flames suddenly rose in the air quickly, reaching a dozen meters. Acrypha\'s eyes widened as she followed the blue light in the air as it reached its peak and then started descending.

But, she quickly realized that the blue flames were going back down to where Talon was standing.

"No, Talon… It will explo-" Before she could even say anything, she saw something even more shocking.

When the fireball reached him, it suddenly halted and didn\'t explode at all.

"What?"

But, Talon didn\'t stop there and snapped his finger again and the ball flew in the air again without exploding.

Then, he did it again, and again. The ball bounced up and down with each time, he snapped his finger. Meanwhile, Acrypha watched with her eyes wide in shock.

By the fifth time, when the ball flew in the air, it finally exploded.

"Hahaha, good! Did you see that, Acrypha?! I was able to throw it up a few times without making it explode!" Talon smiled as he yelled excitedly.

"..."

"I thought I could only do it three times, but five is really good,"

"..."

"I should probably practice for a few more hours before I can finally throw it around. Hmm, either way, this is a good start."

"..."

"Acrypha? Are you ok?" Noticing that his companion was completely silent the entire time, he looked at her confusedly.

The girl had a dumbfounded look on her face as if she had heard the dumbest joke ever, except ten times worse.

"How did you…"

"How did I? Oh, I guess I had a different approach. It was a dumb idea, but I\'m glad it worked out well." He said.

"A dumb idea? What?"

"Hmm, you said that the main method of controlling the azure flames is to forcefully make it bend to your will, right?"

"Yes…"

"I thought, what if instead of trying the forceful way, I just try to make the flames listen by their own will."

"... Continue."

"So, basically, I thought since they\'re hard to control that means they have their own will. So, if that\'s the case, why try to antagonize the flames? I just simply tried to converse with them and they listened… for a little while." He said with a small chuckle.

"So, you simply asked nicely?" She asked with an even more dumbfounded expression.

"Yeah, that\'s it, I asked nicely. Good description, Acrypha!"

\'This guy… I can\'t even…\' Acrypha didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry at that moment.

Even when she was ready to see Talon learn how to use the flames in a few days, he went ahead and learned how to in a few minutes when normally it would take years of practice to learn.

That was just a brutal hit to her common sense that she would probably never recover from. But, even more than that, it was probably the fifth hit to her common sense this week alone which was probably not a very healthy lifestyle.

Staying with Talon was probably going to shatter everything she assumed was impossible to happen. He had been and will probably always be a once-in-a-lifetime anomaly that will never get repeated.

"Hahaha! Don\'t look like that, Acrypha! Sometimes the simpler ideas are the solution to the hardest of problems. Just because these flames are divine or whatever doesn\'t mean we have to fight them for control. I just make them help me out and it\'s totally fine." He said with a small smile.
