"No, Anna. No one is bursting with anyone. We just played around." said Angus, persuading the little troublemaker.
"Hmph.. Daddy is lying. Anna is not stupid. Anna is smart and cool. This is Daddy's red. This is Daddy's brown.
This is..." said Anna, pointing at the scorched and destroyed ground.
At once, Angus knows Anna is pointing at his attacking trace all over the training ground. As for the color, it represents the elemental Angus' use. Red is fire, brown is earth, blue is water, and so on.
"See... Anna is smart and cool. Daddy is lying." said Anna proudly.
"Yeah Yeah.. Anna is smart. Why don't you wait with Mommy for the roasted Pork." said Angus, trying to divert the topic.
"Roasted Pork?! Anna... Bleh! Bleh! Daddy is trying to confuse the smart Anna. Hmph!!" said Anna while shaking her head comically.
"*Sigh* Anna, we are really not bursting with anyone. We are just sparring with each other. No one is bursting." said Angus.
"Really?" asked Anna.
"See there. No one is dead." said Angus while pointing at the beaten Axel and the others.
Anna looks at Ian's group before nodding in agreement.
'Oii.... Which part of us is not dying?!!' grumbled Axel inwardly.
"Then, can Anna also do the spar? Anna also wants to move bone and cracking cracking." said Anna.
Ignoring Anna's strange words, "Are you sure?" asked Angus.
"Yup. Anna is good at cracking bones and won one hundred challenges last time." Anna said excitedly.
At this moment, the white bat wing behind Anna's back shuddered as it remembered the nightmare Anna had brought to its territory.
"Okay. But don't cry to Mommy later, okay?" said Angus.
"Goshh... Silly Daddy, Anna is strong." said Anna.
"Alright, you could come to me anytime." said Angus.
*BOOM* At once, Anna rushed at Angus at supersonic speed while brandishing her tiny fist. Predicting this, Angus sidestepped to avoid her deadly punch while grabbing her wrist.
'This is...' thought Angus as he grabbed Anna's wrist.
'She may destroy the capital city with just one punch in her adult form.' thought Angus inwardly.
Just as Anna rushed towards Angus again, she suddenly found the ground below her to become slippery and sticky [3rd Circle - Quagmire]. Still, this kind of magic is not enough just to hold Anna.
At this moment, gravel, rock, and dirt rush towards Anna and encase her [2nd Circle - Rock Armor]. While being imprisoned by the stones, Anna drowns faster in the Quagmire.
"Ahh... Anna is drowning. Daddy!! Help!! Anna is drowning!!" said Anna while struggling around.
Despite being drowned inside the magical Quagmire, everyone could see Anna having fun without worry. Angus knows this little Quagmire only stops Anna and can't harm her. Even if he buried Anna alive, she would be fine without any single injury.
Since Anna is no longer in the mood to continue sparring, Angus manipulates the ground and sprouts Anna from the Quagmire. *Sprut* Anna flies happily while covered in dirt and mud.
"Yay~ Yay~ Again! Again!!" exclaimed Anna happily.
"*Sigh* Let's stop here and get yourself clean first." said Angus while cleaning the little troublemaker.
Still, Angus is happy about Anna's rapid growth. After taking care of the little troublemaker, Angus continues training Ian and the others.
Fortunately, the little troublemaker ran somewhere else after globbing two roasted Porky. As usual, Angus fights them using his variety of magic.
This time, Angus is not only launching attacks from a distance. He also creates a few elemental golems or constructs to get others close combat experience. Anna's previous spar reminds Angus about close combat experience.
Through their training, Angus notices Ian and others always avoid fighting him at close range. They know fighting him at close range is futile, as all their attacks will never land, and they will instantly be defeated by his counter.
Unfortunately, Angus couldn't let this situation continue. The majority of participants in the knight competition will use close combat. Therefore, he uses elemental constructs and artificial golem to fight against them to train their close combat.
Although Angus controls these elementals, they are still not as good as his body. In other words, Ian and the others have a huge chance to defeat them and not one-sidedly get beaten.
During this moment, he also notices Axel's other broken ability. To be precise, it is just one of the elemental spirit's innate abilities. Any elemental spirit could innately control their respective elemental.
Therefore, Angus' elemental construct could be controlled by Axel as long as he calls its elemental spirit. The only exception is Angus' fire elemental construct.
Angus observed that a high elemental mastery could prevent the spirit from sabotaging his control. Since Angus has a high degree of fire elemental second to the Fire Phoenix Jayna, he could somehow offset the spirit's control.
Still, others will not be so lucky when facing Axel's elemental spirit. Such a high elemental mastery is rare. Moreover, this kind of control is innate and has nothing to do with the spirit's current power.
Axel just needs to call the right elemental spirit to control his opponent's elemental. However, some constraints exist, such as firing-type spells or a single target spell.
This kind of spell is hard to control since its nature is targeted and fast to obstruct. Calling or manifesting an elemental spirit also has strict requirements.
Some spirits could only be called at specific days, times, or months. Some required rare materials as a sacrifice. There are also those with strange requirements, such as giving them specific food or dessert or making Axel do strange ritual dances.
Fortunately, some stay beside Axel and do not have any requirements manifest. This kind of elemental spirit has a close relationship and bond with Axel. Their contract is more lax than other elemental spirits.
