A: Magic Forest

(8)

Two more days into the H day of the red moon ritual commemoration magic race and Lila has just mastered how to fly a broomstick and telekinesis spells. At a time when all the contestants from the magician academy in other villages had been practicing and honing their natural magic power, Lila was still struggling with how to heal wounds using the potion from the root of the tree of life.

Cia who was supposed to train her natural magic power was also hampered because her time was spent teaching Lila these two things. His actual natural magic power is quite extraordinary even he is not honed because of the existence of Lila. As a result, he was as vulnerable as Lila in terms of magic ability.

"Cia, the day after we're racing. What else should we do after this?" Lila asked in the backyard of the magician academy, where they used to train. Cia exhaled her tired breath. The look on her face clearly showed that she was exhausted from teaching Lila for these few days non-stop. All the lessons he should have learned were also ignored because he was too tired.

"Haah .. After this we will learn how to find your natural magic power. But before, you could already use a magic wand, right?"

Lila nodded steadily. His eyes twinkled happily as searching for natural magic power was the topic he had been waiting for all this time. He felt curious and nervous about what natural magic power he had. Will it be the power to control the water element? Fire power? Electricity, wind, or land? Neither Lila nor Cia knows.

Cia smiled because she saw the enthusiasm and enthusiasm that Lila had. That means, the topic of magic lessons this time will be faster and easier to learn by his best friend.

However, Cia forgot one thing. The power of natural magic could not be sought using instant means. The power of natural magic will only appear when the user does something important and dangerous related to it.

But, there was still one more way to search for the natural magic power of a witch. Witches who were looking for natural magic power had to try one by one the elements present in this world.

Unfortunately, considering that there are hundreds of elements to try in this magical world, Cia's mental and thinking had already fallen free first. It seemed, teaching Lila this topic would not be as fast and easy as she had thought at the beginning. Time was running low and there were still hundreds of elements that Lila had to try to check what kind of natural magic power she had.

"Well, let's try the easiest thing first, which is water."

Cia twirled her wand while chanting a line of incantations. Shortly after, a glass of water suddenly appeared in the hands of the two-braided girl. "Well, now, focus your mind on this water and make it move!" tell it.

Lila understands. He leaned his head into the water and stared at it. His forehead was wrinkled and his mind was completely focused on the water that was inside the glass. One minute, two minutes, no reaction was shown by the water. Not even a little sway.

"Ck, it seems like my natural magic power is not on the water element. How about we try the soil element?" proposed Lila while staring at the ground below her. "But how?" ask again.

Cia looked to massage her chin slowly. "If not mistaken, Ryou, the stocky student from Junior 2 class can control the land. I've seen him unleash his natural magic power and hence, the ground around him instantly shot up into the air. It can even form various objects from the ground nearby," explained Cia at length.

Lila who was nearby was immediately amazed to hear the story about Ryou earlier. Alright, this time he will try to give all his abilities and concentration to the land below. Very seriously and focused, Lila stared at the earthly goals that were beneath her. His eyes narrowed and his forehead back bent. With great difficulty, Lila finally gave up because just like the water earlier, the ground beneath her did not react to anything.

Lila sat languidly on the ground grass. He played around with the weeds that were nearby gloomily. Cia who saw him felt very sorry. He was once in Lila's position and it was incredibly difficult to find a natural strength. If not for someone's help, there would have been no way Cia could have obtained her natural magic power like now.

"Ah, it's okay, Lila. After all, land and water were already too ordinary to be a natural magic power. Isn't that good, because it could be that your natural magic power is a very rare power, right?" cia said trying to comfort the heart of his best friend. "Don't give up! I will not give up on teaching you until you reach your threshold. Come on, Lila, there are still many elements that we have to try," he continued.

Lila smiled. His best friend always understood his condition. Her spirit was filled again after hearing the words from Cia. He did not want to lose with his impromptu mentor. He should be able to, for his sake and for Cia's sake.

"All right! Let's start again! Well, Cia, what other elements should I try later?" asked Lila enthusiastically as she moved from her sitting position. She tidied up her skirt and pulled her hair behind her ears.

"Which I know, there are a lot of elements you can try. We still have the elements of electricity, wind, crystal, weather, and much more. Ah, it's possible that your natural magic power is also an unusual thing like Emma being able to control animals and Ara being able to duplicate herself and the things around."

Lila nodded and realized that there were still many elements that she could try. If Cia's guess was right about her having rare natural magic power, she would definitely be happy to be born. However, given her unusually lousy self in all facets of magic ability, Lila did not expect grandiosely to be able to possess rare natural magic power. Ordinary strength alone was already incredible enough for him.

Lila again tried all the elements that Cia mentioned earlier. He focused his mind on many things. However, it seemed that today was indeed not Lila's lucky day. Of all the elements, there was not a single element that he managed to control. The voltage he saw did not change. The direction and strength of the wind did not change, it was still as gentle as usual. The crystal did not appear from his hands and the weather was still as sunny as ever. He did not even have to bother to test the controlling power of his beast because the air snail alone was already afraid to see his appearance.

The anxiety that attacked him earlier is now back to ambush him worse. Almost all of the elements of natural magic power that Cia mentioned he had already tried. However, still, he still had not discovered his natural magic power. She wanted to cry, but she said that she saw Cia's facial features that seemed much more tired and depressed than her. He must be strong to keep Cia feeling.

"Hmm .. You still haven't found your natural magic power. All the elements of the general level have also been tried all. But, on the bright side, it means that your natural magic power is indeed rare and not a common element like land, water, or weather."

Instead of being happy, Lila's sadness even more so. "But, if I was destined to be born without any magic power how?" tanyanya.

"Ah, not possible. All witches must have their natural magic powers. I'm sure you must have a very useful natural magic power, but you haven't found it yet. Therefore, let's fight together to find your magic power, Lila!"

A smile was engraved on Lila's lips. A warm smile and a sense of security to his friend. Therefore, Lila's heart was touched again. His hands clenched and with the remnants of his strength, he said, "Please, Cia!"

"Of course!"
