Chapter 21: Chapter Twenty One: A Game shop

The boy who was being attacked by Lexa had suddenly froze into an Ice statue. As she poured water on him, she immediately froze him with her ice ability. The bullies who had seen this, got angry and they decided to teach Lexa a lesson.

One of the men started advancing towards her and when he was at a breathing space from her, he shouted to her face.

“And who the hell do you think you are?” one of the men challenged her. “Who gave you the authority over us.”

The man was about to hit her that a bolt of lightning came hitting him from behind. Everyone was stunned as they saw this and swiftly, they felt the gust of wind swept past their cheeks. Before they knew it, Lexa was encased into a lightning bolt and had disappeared from the area.

“Where did she went to?” The men said after coming to their senses. They hurriedly went outside the canteen as they started searching around for her.

Dan and his siblings were silent and were a bit amazed as they saw what had happened clearly. Kevin had rescued Lexa with his lightning Magic. But one thing kept on surprising Dan, and that was how Kevin was able to have such a powerful magic called lightning. Lightning magic is a special magic that was said to be the strongest of all other magics. And it was said that only the strongest could possess such a powerful magic as that. It was a wonder to Dan, how Kevin could have such a magic.

“I think I’ve been underestimating this guy’s potential.” Dan said.

.....

Kevin had finally stopped in front of a building, after walking a distance away from the canteen, out of the sight of the bullies. His hands were holding onto Lexa’s hands tightly as he swiftly ran out of the canteen. Since the lasting time for the lightning Cloak is five minutes, he quickly cancelled the skill and stopped in front of one of the school’s building.

“We’ve lost them for now.” Kevin said as he looked at his right and left before cancelling his lightning Cloak skill. “Are you alright?” he asked as he released his grip on Lexa’s hands.

“Yeah, sure. Thanks to you.” Lexa replied as she held onto the hands that Kevin had held previously. She felt something as she touched those hands of Kevin. But she wasn’t sure of what it is as their hands parted from each other. She wanted to hold his hands again to see what that thing is, but she knew it would look suspicious if she suddenly grab Kevin’s hands.

“There’s no need thanking me, I just decided to help out.” Kevin said, smiling.

“Okay,..” Lexa replied, thinking of what to say to prolong their discussion. “So your magic is lightning?”

“Yes, it is.” Kevin abruptly answered.

“You must be a strong guy to be able to learn it.”

“I guess I am.” Kevin tried to follow up with her discussion without raising suspicions from her. “It’s not so hard to learn, you just have to put your mind into it.”

“I think I’ll try learning it too. It will be best if I can have that as my second Magic. I had plans to learn fire, ice and water, but after I saw how powerful lightning magic would be to have, especially when I saw how you used it, I think I’ll learn it in place of water. Since we can only learn two types of magic, I’ll consider removing water magic and have lightning and Ice magic.” Lexa explained.

“That’s nice.” Kevin commented. He was able to gain an idea of how things worked in the Academy. So every mage was able to learn two magics at most. And for those who aren’t able to learn any magic, they can either learn martial arts or swordsmanship Or just learn spells and become wizards.

He wanted to know more about how this world works, maybe going into the library later would help him.

“So where are you heading to right now?” Lexa questioned Kevin.

“I think I’ll be heading for the martial arts hall just as Dan had directed.”

“Why do you want to go there when you already have a strong magic.” Lexa said. “That place is full of Elves who couldn’t learn any ability. You elves are the problem of all mages. You’re the ones who always lag behind. Your magic usually comes around when you get to eighteen. But you, Dan and some others are different. At least you have a magic at fifteen, it is quite a rare occurrence.”

Kevin thought as much, he could see many elves going around with swords and never for once saw them use fire magic or something. Well, he thought maybe it was because he had never saw them fight. He really need to learn more about the history of Elves and Fairies. There are some things he didn’t know about them and would love to know.

“The thing is, I want to learn how to fight with fists and if possible learn swordmanship also. It’ll help with my defense and control of magic.” Kevin replied.

“Wow, that’s nice.” Lexa commented. “Most of the elves I know having magic do not bother learning swordmanship or Martial arts, that’s the more reason why I said you are so special.” She smiled as she glanced at Kevin’s face.

“Thanks for the compliment.”

“Come on, I know somewhere you could go. Follow me, I’ll take you there.” Lexa said and Kevin quickly followed.

After walking for a few distance, they finally got to the front of a game shop. Kevin could see some students in front of a counter paying some amount to the person inside the counter.

“Come on, let’s fight some dudes.” Lexa said as she walked towards the counter.

The person inside the counter was an old man with grey hairs on his head and his beard was also grey in colour.

“Hello, welcome to the Mage game shop, what would you like to do? We have Various game arenas including swordsmanship arena, martial arts arena, Mixed arena, and Magic arena. You can rent a VR pod for an hour to three or as long as you want, just as long as you can pay.”
