Chapter 14's



When Aev reaches


the training room, he found no one inside. Of course there isn't


no one there, he thought – he didn't know the time, but the sky was dark and


the land of the monastery was empty. It can be very late at night or early in the morning.


He had


considering heading to the cottage where Master Usep lives, but


then reject that thought.


While he wants to


showing the newly opened Master Usep Wind Realm, he was extremely doubtful


the man will appreciate being woken up in the middle of the night.


Having thought


for a moment, he headed to the room where he was staying before he was sent to the Cell


Realm Opening. It was in one of the few buildings that housed the


initiate the convent, and when he enters he is careful not to wake up


the other.


He found his room


it was empty on its own, with the bag holding its belongings placed in a corner.


The room itself was not much different from where he opened Wind, though,


but it is wider and simpler, with bigger beds and


some pictures hanging on the wall.


Even though he didn't


tired, he decided that he should try to sleep. The next day,


I thought it would be a hard day. Master Usep would certainly want him to test


Her new nature, and after that, she probably had to spend most of it


training day.


He went up to the place


sleep, close your eyes, and pull the blanket.


Although he has


planned to sleep until morning, after a short time he found


that with joy opened a new Realm that was still fresh in his mind,


sleep will not come easily.


 


 


When he lay down


in the darkness his mind kept turning to the newly opened Realm, and he did not


be patient to use it and discover what it can do.


Finally, accept


that she would not be able to sleep that night, she got up and sat down at the small table


who stood in the room. He took out a candle and placed it in front of him,


then use a piece of Fire Essence to ignite it.


After that, he began


working, trying to pull Wind Essence into his hands, just like he did


with Fire Essence before throwing a fireball.


In the beginning,


slow progress. Even though he has quite a lot of experience in


using Essence now, Wind Essence was still new and unfamiliar to him, and


he struggles to control it.


But when he continues


trying, his control over Wind Essence increased steadily, and after


in less than an hour, he managed to lead her into his hands.


Vigorously, with,


he started working on the next step, which was to use Wind Essence to


extinguishing candle.


Some effort


his first failed, and once, when he thought he had succeeded, he


realized after a while that he accidentally blew out the candle


while gasping for energy.


More effort


follow and soon he succeeds, real this time. Holding his hand


half a step away from the candle, he produced a small gust of wind that blew


flames.


 


 


He lights a candle


again and repeat the feat. This time, success came a bit


more quickly. Again he tried and again he succeeded, even faster.


Almost half an hour


then, he could take out the Wind Essence in just a moment.


It still did not exist as fast as he could bring out the Fire and Shadow Essence,


but the speed of his progress surprised him.


Encouraged by


his quick achievement, he wanted to try drawing a large amount of Essence, he said,


but he knew he couldn't do it in his room. Not without risk


wake the others up in the building, at least.


With a mind, Aev


it was still dark and the grounds were still empty, and as he had expected, there was none


anyone in the training hall.


It was dark inside, and


he used Fire Essence to produce light to find the torch


it's hanging on the wall. As he turned it on, an idea entered


his mind.


He took a position


about three steps away from the burning torch, then focus his attention


and gathered all the Wind Essence he could in his hands.


When he had gathered


as much as he could, he launched it at the torch, using a technique that


the same one he used for fireballs, using Wind instead of Fire Essence.


Torch it


it flickered as if a gentle breeze hit him.


That's not much, though,


but Aev was driven by that sight. He remembered how slow it was


his progress when he first used Fire Essence, and he could


saying that this time, his experience will make him progress faster.


 


 


At hours


next, Aev's control for Wind Essence increased by leaps and bounds. He succeeded


extinguish the torch in three steps, then in five steps. Finally, he


managed to blow up the torch with ten steps, and he could sense that


he was nearing his limits.


Already, he knows that


The Wind Realm would prove to be extremely valuable the next time he saw


skirmishes. Even now, using it would allow him to


make your opponent unbalanced, if only for a moment.


Memories of his battle


fighting the bandits was still clear in his mind, and he understood that within


fights, momentary distress can be the difference between life and death.


He'll do


a final attempt to extinguish the torch when suddenly, a voice sounded.


“When you open


Wind Wind Your Wind?”


Aev turned around


shocked, finding Master Usep behind him. He doesn't know how long it's been


the man was there, but from the serious expression on his face, Aev knew


that he has seen enough.


“Tadi night,”


the answer.


“You open Wind


Your realm in less than a week, and after one night, you can


did that?” Master Usep pointed at the torch.


“I train almost


all night,” Aev knew it wasn't the answer, but there was nothing he could


tell the. Without telling Master Usep about his forbidden Realm, there was nothing


a good way to explain his rapid progress.


“Is there anyone else


who saw you?” Master Usep asked, a hint of worry on his face.


Aev shook his head.


“I'm here alone.”


“Good,” says Adir Usep.


“We should see Grandmaster Windsong. Soon.”


“Soon? But I


thought Grandmaster Windsong and Mr Fireheart, uh, unwell?” Aev is still


remember what Master Usep told him a week before.


“Not healthy or


no, this can't wait,” Expression Usep master. “If this comes out,


Academy ...” He shook his head, as if he was unwilling to finish


his mind.


Aev secretly cursed


own carelessness. Just a few weeks without Mr. Joko by his side, and


he had already done something that could attract the attention of the Academy.


For now, he


not too worried – both Master Joko and Windsong already know about the Realm


forbidden, forbidden,


But he understands


that if he escaped the Academy's attention in the future, he should be more


beware.


With a breath, he
