Learning Magic

CHAPTER 12: LEARNING MAGIC

Morgan also praised him continuously, it made Asmothia's arrogance peak. He stood upright, his hands placed on his waist. Then, he closed his eyes, savoring every compliment that Morgan threw..

Not long after, a loud voice echoed in Morgan's ears.

" Kruuuuk.". "the sound of Asmothia's hungry stomach resounded loudly, making Morgan unable to help but burst into laughter.

Asmothia was very upset with Morgan's laugh so loose, her face pouting and puffing her cheeks.

Without waiting for long, Morgan immediately prepared food for the two, with all the ingredients having been prepared quickly. Asmothia sat at the dining table while watching Morgan who was busy cooking. As the aroma of the herbs began to smell, filling the entire kitchen with its fragrance, Asmothia's stomach again rumbled with a louder voice. Morgan clearly heard it, but he painstakingly endured the laughter that kept wanting to get out. Finally, the dish was ready to be served on the table, consisting of three large fish plates, two beef dishes, one large bowl of fruited vegetables, and two round breads.

Without lingering, Asmothia immediately grabbed the three large fish plates and ate them as if she was eating bread, all gone unceremoniously. Then, he ate a plate of beef with a portion that was so large for one person. However, it was not a problem for Asmothia, she devoured it quickly, even with her sharp teeth, she was even able to chew on the large bones that were inside.

“ Krauukkk Krauuukk “ the sound of crushed bones with Asmothia sharp teeth.

When Morgan saw him, he was shocked. He could not believe how easily the bones were crushed in Asmothia's small but sharp mouth. Inwardly, Morgan thought, "Lucky the Duma didn't see this, he would definitely peg "

After that, Asmothia did not miss spending a large bowl of vegetables and abundant sauce, in less than two minutes, everything was exhausted. Then, round bread is also included in the list of meals, which also runs out. Not to forget, he drank two glasses of water and a glass of milk quickly.

" Hffuuahhh "Asmothia leaned against the chair, her face radiating satisfaction.

“ Are you full, Princess Thia? “ ask Morgan.

Her face Asmothia beamed “ I feel very satisfied. Since I'm full, it's time for you to learn about magic in the forest “

“ night? what if there was a ferocious monster, wasn't it dangerous? “ replied Morgan who was full of doubts.

Shouted Asmothia, “ Talk what are you! the monsters in luminos are no match for me. So don't worry about those insects. You just focus on learning magic “

They chatted until the day before evening, Asmothia used her teleportation magic towards the forest. Upon arrival there, the atmosphere was very dark.Cold wind hit them. Morgan made a campfire as a medium of illumination, so lush trees all over the place just visible darkness.

The bonfire was lit, the view was clear. Asmothia sat on a rock, waiting for it to be finished. Morgan approached him and asked,

“ Princess Thia, light is available. Is it time to practice? “

“ Now you are sitting cross-legged, both hands are placed on the knees, close your eyes and feel the wind energy “

Morgan took a deep breath, forcing himself past his limits. Slowly, the sensation of wind gusts began to touch every pore of his skin. A wind so cold that it penetrated into him, affecting his focus that it was getting weaker, making the wind gusts that were now fading even more. But he didn't give up. By forcing him over, he focused his mind on one point, trying to sense the energy vibrations that were passing around him. The wind began to blow again, the blow getting stronger every second. Before long his heart was racing, a feeling of tightness that seemed to want to explode. He could no longer control the increasingly wild energy within him.

His hands were trembling, sweat was flowing all over his body, and his legs were cramping. Morgan had exceeded his capacity, unable to control the overabundance of energy. At that crucial moment, Asmothia, quickly approached him. He patted Morgan on the back with magic power, freeing him from the shackles of life-threatening irregular energy.

The strong winds began to subside, leaving Morgan in a state that was in spite of the danger. His breath was breathless, and tears flowed from his eyes, reflecting the distress that almost took his life. Asmothia frowned, her voice high as she shouted at him.

" You didn't follow all my orders. I told you to feel the wind. All you do is force the wind to come. That was a fatal mistake! "

Morgan simply lowered his head, reflecting on the mistake he made.

" It's true, magic has great benefits and uses. However, behind it all, magic also has a dark side. Like two sides of the same coin, magic has the potential to carry power while simultaneously damaging and destroying. Magic power requires deep understanding, self-mastery, hard practice, and experience, because once unleashed, it is difficult to control completely. Remember that! Failed magic can create the conditions in which energy spins back through our bloodstream, which ultimately causes an explosion of energy in our internal organs and culminates in death " said Asmothia again using a soft tone.

Morgan nodded his head, begging for clues about the true magic. Asmothia took out a leaf and placed it on Morgan's palm,

" Focus your mind on these leaves, imagine the wind that strikes. Let yourself be the wind, and the wind will guide you "

Carefully following the instructions, Morgan closed his eyes. Try to do so without repeating the same mistakes. His mind was centered on the leaf that was in his hand, trying to follow the flow of wind that carried the leaf. Slowly, a light pressure weighed down on his body, while a gentle blowing wind lifted the dried leaves. Morgan opened his eyes slowly, and sure enough, he succeeded. The overflowing pleasure cannot be held back.

" It worked! " he shouted while jumping with excitement.

" Hmm hm. Don't be too happy, this is just the beginning. You must learn to control the wind to watch around you, listen to sounds from a distance, and make them as weapons" Asmothia said as she crossed her arms around her chest.

When they want to continue,

“ Sssstttt.. “

Asmothia beckoned Morgan to shut up. They stood without a sound, the silence of the forest made the atmosphere even more tense. Suddenly, the light grabbed them very quickly.

" Barrrr! "

the sound of a fierce explosion shook the forest, sending all the animals scattering in panic. The gigantic swords that were stuck on the ground, enveloped by a dazzling light, towered high up where they were training.

A bright shining magic shield enveloped the two of them, yet the sword had cracked on its side due to the impact with a powerful shield. With a face full of anger, Asmothia stood in front of Morgan, looking into the thick smog. Slowly, the smoke and dust began to fade, revealing the figure of a man riding a horse. He was wearing a white robe, with a light symbol embedded on his forehead. The glittering sword of light clasped tightly in his right hand.

Morgan was speechless, his lips moved weakly, "Feature knight? Why is he here? "
