Chapter 64: Learning Basic Magic (Part-2) (1/2)

“AHHH… AHH… AAHHHHH!!!”

I start screaming on top of my lungs while shaking my hands wildly.

The blue-colored ball of fire remains attached to my hand for a few more seconds before dying out completely.

“What happened!?” Miss Laura asks while running back towards me.

Behind her, Leena and a few other people are also walking towards me with a rather serious expression on their faces.

“Ma’am! He did it! I saw him do it! He produced a fireball!”

The boy standing diagonally to me says excitedly.

“He… He did?” Miss Laura asks, shocked.

“Yes, mam! I saw it with my own eyes!” the boy answers.

“Wait, he produced a fireball!?” Leena asks in a surprised tone, “But after how many tries?”

“How many tries? I just brought him here!” Miss Laura says.

“You are saying that he did it in his first try!? Without any experience in magic before!? Even among the Elves, it’s a feat unknown…” Leena says, looking highly interested.

What… the fuck?

I am still staring at my hand in shock. That sudden burst of fire really scared the shit out of me and I instinctively started shouting. I have no idea in hell how the fuck I did it.

“Hey, can you do it again?” Leena asks.

“A-Again?”

“Yes, can make a fireball again?” she repeats.

“I… I mean, I can try?” I answer while shaking my head lightly.

“Go on, try then,” she says while looking intensely at my hand.

Damn… Don’t stare like that…

For a second, I look around and found that everyone else is looking at my direction curiously as well. I even find Ryan and Leo sending me murderous glares for talking to Leena directly.

Fuck…

I take a deep breath and try to focus my concentration on creating the fireball again, but no matter how hard I look at my palm or try to imagine the magic inside my core, no blue fireball gets formed.

In fact, the most I get after almost popping the vein on my head is a single flare.

“Hmm… There is a chance it might be accidental,” Miss Laura says with a calm smile.

Sigh… I think that’s the case as well. I mean, there is no way someone like me can do magic in his first try… right?

I lower my hand…

“Try again,” Princess Leena says in a low voice.

“Sorry?” I ask, confused.

“I said, try again,” she repeats in a rather commanding tone.

“Oh… Okay,” I say with a frown.

I try to produce the fireball again but fail.

“Again,” Leena says strictly.

Well…. okay.

I try and fail again.

“Again!” Leena repeats with a scary glint in her eyes.

The fuck? You are being a bit too pushy now.

“I won’t do it—”

“I really think he really did it by accident, Leena. We should go back,” Miss Laura politely says while cutting in-between me.

“I am just trying to… Fine,” Leena says while giving me an extremely disappointed look before turning around and moving back to the front along with Miss Laura and others.

What the fuck was all that about?

Anyway, it kinda sucks that it was just an accident. I would have loved to be able to do it again voluntarily. Everyone would have been—

Suddenly, black miasma forms in front of my eyes.

{M-Master… that wasn’t an accident.}
