My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer-Chapter 352 FireBall
Luke walked up the stairs until he reached the door to his room, when he heard the sound of the bathtub filling up from outside.
Without hesitation, he put the key in the door and entered, only to find his room empty. In the bathroom was Meredith, singing. The room was exactly as it had been in the morning, but now, Meredith's uniform was on her bed. But on the young man's bed, was a bra and panties, which were purposely left on top of Luke's bed.
Half-fox heard the noise of the door opening, and with a smile on her face she shouted for help to the young man on the other side of the wall.
"Luke! Help me, I forgot my underwear on your bed!" She said, just then the lady started laughing alone in the tub.
Luke looked at his bed, grabbed the two pieces of clothing, and fearlessly opened the bathroom door. Meredith was then visibly surprised by the young man's reaction, who did not show the slightest bit of shame.
He then left the clothes in the bathroom and turned around, pretending not to have seen anything. Both then were unable to say even one word, both their hearts were beating extremely hard.
'Get a grip Luke, I just need to get a grip until I get back to Broteforge.'
[You can do it kid!]
You know I'm about to lose to her.
[I know well enough, but why don't we go out on the balcony and wait for Meredith to get out of the shower.]
Luke then opened the glass window that led to the balcony of the room, he leaned on an iron railing. The view from that place was straight out to sea, the moon was reflecting on the water, showing how the waves were quietly dancing.
'Would I be able to cast magic like that?'
Luke thought, remembering when Megan had thrown a gigantic fireball. The Young Man had not even tried to use fire magic, in fact, he had not yet tried to use any magic that was not related to the element of wind.
[Why don't you just try? maybe just a little flame! hehe!]
'But how should I visualize? That book said to turn the heat sensation of my hand into fire, but that's so vague...'
[Okay! I'll give you the instructions and you'll try to perform the magic, all right?]
Luke nodded.
[First, put your hand in front of you and snap your fingers].
The half-wolf then followed the command.
*Clac*
[Now, notice the heat from your hand when your fingers collide. Concentrate on that heat and try to put some of your mana into it.]
The boy's eyes were extremely focused on his hand. Analyzing every detail of that sensation. The contact of his fingers, his mana flowing down his arm to his hand. The way the cold of the balcony enhanced the warmth of the young man's body.
He was completely attentive to the sensations. Until with the snap of a finger, a small flame came out, like a flint hitting, the friction of Luke's hand channeled the mana out generating that small fire.
[Hahaha! Good boy! Now try again, but concentrate on using your mana for fuel].
Again, Luke focused on his fingers, he was going to try to mimic that same action he saw Megan performing. He felt his mana concentrating again in his hand, until imitating that gesture, a small flaming sphere appeared on the half-wolf's fingertips.
That small flame was slowly consuming Luke's mana, but it made no difference to him. He then started to concentrate more and more energy, and that little sphere of fire was getting bigger and bigger.
Until Luke, with a gesture of his hands, threw it away. That fireball flew off into the sea, where it was extinguished.
Behind the half-wolf was Meredith, who began to clap her hands. As she approached the young man. She was already dressed in her sleeping clothes.
"You really are a fast learner," said the half-fox.
"I just need to learn this. You know how everything gets easier when you have no other option." replied Luke.
Both of them knew what it was like to need something, to need to get money and food, to need to learn how to get by. In Luke's heart, this situation was the same as in his childhood. He was learning magic out of necessity, he needed any means to become stronger, any means to beat the first servant.
"The introductory magic classes were pretty heavy today..." said Meredith, extending her hand out from the balcony.
"Ikuran Firebolt" A fireball a little smaller than the one Luke cast appeared a little in front of the half-fox's hand. She then cast the spell the fireball forward, but it slowly disappeared before it even reached the water.
The girl turned to Luke with an annoyed face. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
"How did you manage to master it so fast?! You didn't even conjure the spell!"
Luke began to laugh as Meredith punched him in the chest with small punches.
"Let's see, I'll try to conjure it this time," Luke said. Now he put his hand out in front of him and repeated Meredith's action, doing the same visualization as before, but this time, reciting the spell.
A huge fireball appeared a few meters in front of them, and its sudden appearance startled the half-fox, who fell sitting on the ground. Luke then channeled more and more mana into the fireball, which grew and expanded.
Until he made a gesture with his hands, causing the huge fireball to fly upwards. Traveling at a high speed until it fell into the water. Even from afar, it was possible to hear the sound of the water evaporating with the heat of the spell.
At that very moment, the door of the room received three knocks.
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
Meredith ran to answer it, it was the dorm's receptionist. She was dressed in a more casual outfit, with a visibly annoyed face.
"Please don't cast any unauthorized spells so close to the dorm. I'll ignore it since it was the first time it happened, but if it happens again, I'll give you both a warning." She said in a slightly sleepy voice.
Luke and Meredith both apologized. Soon after, the two decided to go to sleep. The half-wolf was looking at the ceiling of the room, he didn't expect magic to be something so easy to control. In a few minutes he was able to master an attack that could be very useful in combat, the various possibilities of using magic were now running through his head.
Now unafraid to use the other types of elemental magic, Luke decided to train the next day in as many basic spells as possible. In the book he had read during the wagon ride, a large part of the spells was totally focused on manipulating basic elements. If he had already mastered wind and was now beginning to understand how fire magic works, his conclusion was what would happen if he used both at the same time.
When Luke woke up, the sky had just risen. Today would be a different day for him, around noon he was to go to the beach to meet Orion. After that he would go back to the research laboratory. But while there was time to spare, Luke went on with his morning routine.
As soon as he got up, he went down to the cafeteria of the dormitory. He fed himself, came back, and began a series of exercises. He was trying not to wake Meredith, but continued with his normal workout. He did a series of push-ups, squats and sit-ups.
When Meredith woke up, the first sight the half-fox saw in the morning was of Luke performing sit-ups, his body was completely drenched in sweat. His breathing was labored and his forehead was hot. The half-fox soon pretended to go back to sleep, embarrassed and trying to control herself not to kiss the half-wolf.
The half-wolf took a shower, put on his academy uniform, and ran to the beach where the flight training group should be.
Already on the way he could see several students flying over the academy on top of their swords. This created a certain doubt in Luke's mind. How could he get one of these swords and where is the blacksmith area of the academy. Megan said she had a sister who made artifacts at the academy, so he decided to ask her later.
When Luke reached the beach, he heard the sound of angry punches and shouts. He then sped off. It was the group of students from the flying club, a fight was going on between two students.
A red-haired boy was on top punching a black-haired boy several times, around the two of them was a circle of nervous girls who didn't know how to intervene. Orion was not around, so Luke quickly concentrated and used wind magic to separate the two.
The Red-headed Boy flew away, falling into the sand. The Red-headed Boy followed, rolling away as well. When this was over, the sound of a typhoon appeared.
It was Orion, who had just arrived.
The wind mage then asked:
"What made you attack my students, Newbie?"
