11 Affinity (2/2)

I summoned some floating orbs around both of them with [Target Summon] and stated. ”These are projections are made with light magic, they'll float around both of you multiplying until you strike them with the correct amount of force I've set. If you strike them with too little or too much force then they'll multiply immediately. The goal is to eliminate all the light, but if you fail to eliminate them before they multiply too much, then they'll shock you. After that, you have to start over again.”

They started their exercise, quickly multiplying orbs, using way more force than they need too. ”It might take some time for them to get the hang of it.” I guess.

I move to Jake next. ”Your accuracy was decent, but your precision was not where it needed to be. I also want to make your drawing faster too.” I say evenly. I point to a different section of the yard and have him pick his bow up.

He starts to grab his arrows, but I stop him, saying. ”There's no need for arrows, I already cast a spell on your bow that summons arrows of light. The light isn't condensed much, so you don't have to worry about it damaging anything.”

I cast a second [Tarrget Summon] around Jake and say. ”The rules are the same for you, but yours can be close and farther away, so account for that. Remember, work on your speed and accuracy.”

Jake nods in respect, or fear I can't tell which, and starts his session.

Dontae's next, I walk up to him saying. ”Your magic output is good enough, but your control is terrible. So this will hopefully help train it.”

I take a ring that I got from the quartermaster this morning and walk over to the fence surrounding the yard, I place the ring towards Dontae on the fence post. I walk back to him and elaborate.

”I want you to scale a fireball large enough to go through that ring, don't worry about knocking it off, I enhanced it with [Fortiy Emplacement] so it won't be going anywhere.” When I finish he looks at me with an irritated expression and said.

”Why do I even have to do this, you didn't even beat me with real magic. I already know how to do all this stuff anyway, I graduated 5th of my class at the magic academy in the capital.”

I glare at him with serious eyes casting [Voice Modulation] in the demonic voice I say. ”What? Do you want to ruin another pair of pants? I'll be happy to help if that's the case.”

He jumps backward and immediately starts casting trying to appease his evil overlord, I call after him. ”Also you're only allowed to use instant casting, you'll need to learn it quickly,” I say in a demonic voice forgetting to dispel it, but he seemed to be more motivated by it.

I walk up to Rachel and say, ”I didn't really get to gage you yesterday, but I looked at your stats and you need some work on your Armed Combat. So I'll give you some drills to practice with.”

She replies. ”Sounds great to me commander, if you think it'll help.” I give her a reassuring smile to reinforce it. After I show her a couple of drills she starts swinging eagerly.

I stand back and watch all the practice taking place over the training yard, they all practice earnestly, trying to get better in whatever aspect I directed. ”Maybe this won't be so bad after all I think.”
