12 Kanna's Lesson

Ms. Layne: "Who wants to teach Steven magic? I'll count it as extra credit."

Everyone seemed to jump at the opportunity as each of them had their element they were good with.

Edward: "Dude, I'll show you the power of fire magic, let me do it."

Cynthia, the girl next to Edward, retorted Edwards fire magic.

Cynthia: "Not so powerful when a few drops of water can put your flames out."

Edward: "Dude! That wasn't a few drops of water! You dropped a wave on me!"

Then Michael came into the argument, the kid across the classroom, claiming he was better than they were.

Michael: "He needs magic that works. Kind of like the Light element. Not those party tricks you guys know."

As entertaining as it was, Ms. Layne came in and broke up the argument. Stating that every element has its ups and downs.

Ms. Layne: "We'll have Kanna do it, she's the best with magic here."

Kanna: "But I was put in remedial for math."

Ms. Layne: "Steven can teach you, right? Make it a trade, he can teach you math can you can teach him your element."

Steven: "If you insist, math is my best subject."

Kanna: "Alright, I'll do it. But it'll have to be outside, wind magic can be destructive."

Ms. Layne: "I don't mind, but don't damage any school property. Do it at the arena."

Ms. Layne handed us both a pass that'll let us into G block and keep the security from getting us in trouble. As we headed to the arena, Kanna was asking questions about me and the academy.

Kanna: "How'd you get into remedial? Tell me the truth."

I couldn't go against her word as a servant or I could get reprimanded. One of the downsides of being in a contract, I was to do everything she requested. Though, she isn't too strict on it and would only scold me.

Steven: "I asked the headmaster if he could."

Kanna: "And he considered it a favor, didn't he?"

Steven: "Yeah, how'd you know?"

Kanna: "He did it to me when I first came here. He's really weird."

Kanna: "Hello? Steven, what's wrong all of a sudden?"

Steven: "Oh, I was thinking."

G block was indeed huge. Easily the size of a football stadium. We went to the center and the whole building was breathtaking I've seen the skyscrapers back home, but this is amazing!

Kanna: "You've never seen a building so big before?"

Steven: "Not in person."

Kanna: "They only finished building it about 6 months ago. It's considered a pinnacle of Ostroven architecture."

Steven: "You can tell just by looking."

Kanna brought us back to where we originally were. To learn the wind element.

Kanna: "Wind magic is invisible, it's the only element that can't be seen by other people."

Steven: "How do I know if I'm using wind then?"

Kanna: "You can sense it. Here, let's try a defensive one called Shielded Winds, it's the first one I learned and doesn't need an incantation."

Steven: "Shielded Winds? Incantation? What do I do?"

Kanna: "Close your eyes and try visualizing wind surrounding you. Let it hold you and protect you. Channel your magic to your chest while doing so."

I closed my eyes as Kanna instructed and visualized the wind. I slowly channeled my power to my torso and imagined the winds surrounding me. My body got lighter and felt like I was floating.

Kanna: "Now if you did it right, you should feel different. Open your eyes and say "Shielded Winds."

Steven: "Shielded Winds."

That was easier than I originally thought. I felt different, but I didn't know how to describe the feeling. Kanna said I could sense it but not see it.

Steven: "How do I know if I did it right?"

Kanna: "Well, there is one way. But I'm not sure you'd want me to."

Steven: "I could sense it, I think. Try it, it might work."

Kanna: "Please forgive me then."

Steven: "Forgive you for what—"

Kanna: "Wind Torrent!"

For several seconds, everything blanked out. When I came to, I was lying on the wall of the building. The wall was destroyed and the ground headed in Kanna's direction was turned over and destroyed as well. My ears were ringing as I got up. I didn't even feel any shock or anything. I was just confused. While I was trying to make sense of what happened, Kanna ran towards me frantically.

Kanna: "Oh my god, Steven, are you alright?! I'm sorry that was a lot stronger than it was meant it to be."

Steven: "What the hell happened? Everything was fine then I'm up against the wall the next minute."

Kanna: "I used Wind Torrent, it should've pushed you a couple of feet back. Are you alright?"

I can't seem to calm Kanna down. She thinks that she overdid it and injured me. Not even my suit was dirtied!

Steven: "Seriously, I'm fine. Look, your wind magic protected me."

That seemed to calm her down, but she still looked as guilty as my cats were when I found them in the food bag in the pantry back home. For a second, she looked really cute and it took me by surprise.

Kanna: "What is it?"

Steven: "Ah, well, um…"

Kanna: "Tell me."

No way out of this one, is there? I hope I won't get scolded for it.

Steven: "I-well, when you look guilty, you look very cute."

She turned around facing away from me. No doubt that she's embarrassed. I'm the one that's starting to feel bad, I probably ruined her day by now.

Kanna: "I-I'll teach you one more then we'll have to head back, okay?"

Steven: "You... don't want me flirting with you, Kanna?"

Kanna: "That's not the point!"

She exclaimed.

I knew she was upset and when I grabbed her shoulder to turn her around, I saw her eyes welling up with tears.

Steven: "...Master?"

Kanna: "I thought I seriously hurt you."

Steven: "Oh~ it's fine. I forgive you."

Kanna: "I'm glad you didn't get hurt."

Steven: "Come on, there's one more spell right? What are you going to teach me this time?"

Kanna composed herself again, wiped away her tears and cleared her throat.

Kanna: "Another easy one, this time an offensive spell called Slashed Winds."

Steven: "Alright, what do I do?"

Kanna: "You swing your arm like your cutting something. Channel your power towards your hands and imagine that wind being turned into a blade. Try it on the wall."

Channeling my power through my hands, I imagined the wind like a blade. With a swing of my arm, I envisioned the winds going towards the wall and cutting it. I felt as something slipped through my hands and then the wall had received a visible cut mark on it.

Kanna: "Not bad for your first time. I could be bigger though if you focused more you could've made a bigger mark."

I was surprised at how fast I was learning the magic. It was like riding a bike, I learned with relative ease.

Steven: "These are easy to learn, I thought I would struggle because I didn't know anything about magic, to begin with."

Kanna: "You have my magic power, remember? You'll pick up wind magic real fast because of it. The others a little slower, but still faster than the others."

She finished up with several pointers and we left G block and headed back to the classroom. We told security about the damage that was done in the arena and they shrugged it off. Claiming it wasn't a big deal as the building usually gets trashed because of the honor students going at it in duels. As we laughed, we continued towards the classroom together.

Ms. Layne: "Your back! How did it go?"

Steven: "It was great, Kanna was an excellent teacher."
