Volume 5 Chapter 66: Synchronous Chant

Keith grabbed his head, "Will you stop pouting like that? Come on!" You asked me to help you out. Why are you sulking?! Alfia was looking down at the ground, poking some ants.

What did the ants do to you?!

"You learned something I couldn't do even after a few months. What kind of absurdity is this?!" Alfia always thought Keith was abnormal. This time, it cemented that word even further!

"Come on, I will teach you how to use it. So cheer up," Keith tried his best to cheer the girl up.

"..Alright," Alfia got up. However, the girl still looked pissed off.

"I get the gist of the magic," Keith got the gist of how to use it.

"You do?"

"Of course, who do you think I am?" Keith raised his head up.

"..."

"Okay, okay. I'm messing around. However, grand-level magic isn't that much different from high-level magic."

"...You can only say that because you're a genius."

"Nah. Compared to you, I'm not." Keith smiled. But then he added, "Alfia, you have a higher talent than me in magic. The only reason why you're lacking is because you're not open-minded."

"Eh?"

"Let me give you some ideas. Whenever you use high-level magic, what do you think about?"

"I would chant the magic and concentrate to form an image of the magic in my head." That was what she was taught.

"True. That is the standard way. However, that's not what I do," Keith shook his head.

"What do you do?"

"I basically have an image of low-level magic in my head."

"Eh?"

"Yes. I realized you can increase your casting speed if you have an already prebuilt idea. You need to make some alterations to make it high-level." That was something he learned from Sophia. She had taught him about the pros of using low-level magic.

Fundamentals were essential to her.

"Now fight with them!" Keith shouted from the trees.

"You demon!"

...

"I keep telling you, you should fight. Don't run away." Keith shook his head.

"Can you really say that when there were so many against me?!" Alfia looked like she had gone through a tornado. The elegant glow she had was nowhere to be found!

Her hair was disheveled. There were also scratches around her arms and face.

"That's expected. To use synchronous casting, you must get into the habit of moving instinctively." It required a lot of mental focus.

"I feel like you're just bullying me,"

"How rude. Am I the type to do this?"

"..."

"Here, let me help you with your wounds," Keith started to treat her wounds. Alfia wanted to say no, but he got everything out.

"You're lucky I'm the one who's teaching you how to do it."

"Eh? Who taught you?" Now that she had time to think, who taught Keith to synchronous chant?

"The principal," Keith answered.

"Eh?"

"It was brutal. That geezer dragon would do things for laughs." The number of times Cadmus tried to prank him was too many to count. And he would use the excuse of training as a justification.

Alfia chuckled, "I never expected the principal to be such a joker." Then again, she saw many faces when she headed to Keith's island.

"The number of times the vice-principal and my father yelled at him was too many to count." Whenever Keith was thrown into those situations, William and Sohma would chew him out.

"Pff," Alfia laughed. The two continued to talk about some things before Keith finished, "Alright, you're good to go."

"Eh? You did something to my hair?" Alfia noticed her hair was tied up as well.

"Of course! Remember, you are a princess. You need to look presentable," Keith smiled.

"..." Then why are you treating me like that?
