?"I can cast any spell!"


    Vaan spoke with an excited smile on his face.


    However, when his eyes fell wall, he realized that the power behind his spell was a lot weaker the ra''s spell.


    Let alone creating a 5 cm deep hole, his spell couldn''t even create a minor crack, there were only a few burnt marks but from the looks of it, they didn''t look much.


    "That''s a little too weak… A normal punch on the nose would be stronger than that…"


    Vaanmented as he started thinking about what went wrong.


    Soon, his expression changed as he realized his mistake,


    "Ahh! That''s it! I used [Conjure mes and shoot at the direction my palm points at], I skipped the shaping part, and since the mes didn''t have any fixed shape, the strength behind it decreased." Vaan realized.


    "A shape huh…"


    Then, he started thinking, the Mana around him rushed into his body, a new Magic Circle was formed, then, he drew the patterns,


    *Flicker*


    mes were created and then, they moved and formed a me Spike.


    "Mhm, this is it."


    Vaan nodded in satisfaction, he then stopped feeding Mana to his Magic Circle, the Circle broke apart, he gathered Mana again, and a new Magic Circle formed, this time, the Patterns he drew were different from before,


    *Flicker*


    me Spike was formed.


    Vaan then extended his palm toward the wall and,


    *BOOM*


    This time, the explosion was far stronger than his previous attack.


    The smoke disappeared, this time, not only was the hole created, it was a 7cm deep hole, there were no burnt marks around the hole, however, that was within Vaan''s expectation.


    "As I thought, the impact of Fireball was wider, hence weaker, me Spike, on the other hand, focuses on a single point and is stronger."


    Vaan analyzed as he nodded to himself.


    "H-H-How are you doing that!?"


    Suddenly, ra shouted.


    "Wha- What happened?" He questioned, a little taken aback by her sudden outburst.


    "Did you already prepare these spells beforehand?" ra questioned.


    "Huh? Of course not. As I said, I am only doing what you told me to do."


    "S-So you are telling me that this is your first time conjuring a me Spike and you haven''t studied it before?"


    "What is there to study about it?" Vaan questioned back.


    "How do you know the Magic Patterns you need to conjure the me Spike if you haven''t studied it yet!?"


    "Huh?"


    Vaan frowned.


    "Didn''t you just say that I need to link the Language of Magic and my needs,


    I thought about conjuring mes and shaping them into a Spike and the pattern just instinctively came into my mind."


    "I-Instinctively…?"


    ra stuttered.


    Then with a fearful look on her face, she nced at Vaan and questioned.


    "T-Then are you saying that you just thought about it and the pattern came to your mind?"


    "Isn''t that how it works?" Vaan questioned back and ra''s eyes widened in horror.


    What kind of ridiculous ability is this!?


    Mages may look cool and strong, standing at a ce bombarding your enemies with various spells, it seems simple enough, however, only the mages know how much effort it takes to ''bombard your enemies with various spells''.


    Unlike swordsmen, who can simply train their bodies by doing the same movement again and again, Mages werepletely different. They had to drown themselves in magic books, reading magic theories left by different Mages just so they could understand the concept of Magic Language.


    Mages cannot just simply copy the Magic Circles and Patterns left by previous Mages and cast their spells by injecting Mana into the copied Circle.


    Every Mage had his own way to interpret Magic Language,


    Every mage had to use a different pattern to conjure even the simplest of mes and there has never been a case where any 2 mages have the exact same Magic Patterns for the same spell.


    What did that mean?


    It meant that Mages had to analyze different other Mages, see how they interpreted a particr spell, understand it, read more magic theories about the said spell,prehend the concept of the spell, understand why the previous Mage used the patterns he used in his circle and only after hours, days, months or even years of study and countless trials and errors are they finally able to ''Understand'' the Magic Spell, ''Interpret'' it in their own way, and find the Magic Patterns they need to cast the said spell.


    It was like exploring a whole differentnguage by analyzing and researching othernguages.


    And Mages have to do this for every single one of their spells!


    The stronger the spell, the moreplicated the pattern and the more difficult it is to understand and interpret it.


    Mages spent most of their lives creating their spells… and…


    And on the other hand, stood this man…


    W-Who…


    Who simply thinks and the required patternse to his mind…


    J-Just... how is that possible...?


    "…ara"


    "ra."


    "ra!"


    "Huh? Y-Yes!"


    ra finally came back to her senses as she heard Vaan''s voice.


    "ra, are you alright?"


    Vaan questioned with a worried look on his face as he gently held ra''s hands.


    "I-I am alright." ra nodded. Then, she looked into Vaan''s eyes,


    "Young Master Vaan, I have a request."


    "What can I do for you?" Vaan questioned.


    "Please conjure mes in all the shapes I showed you before,"


    ra requested.


    She had to confirm it.


    She couldn''t just believe Vaan''s words, no matter how much she wanted to trust Vaan''s words, however, this absurdity, she could not just trust it without any concrete proof.


    "What?" Vaan frowned.


    "Please do it, Young Master," ra spoke with a serious look on her face.


    Seeing that, Vaan didn''t know how to react, he was confused.


    However, seeing ra''s eyes, Vaan decided to first fulfill her request.


    He closed his eyes, the Mana around him moved and,


    *Flicker*


    me Spike was formed.


    Vaan created the Magic Circle again and then,


    *Flicker*


    me Dagger was formed.


    Then,


    *Flicker*


    The Fire Rope.


    *Flicker*


    And the Fireball.


    One by one, Vaan showed all the shapes ra did.


    "H-How about you conjure a Fire Bow now?"


    "A bow?" Vaan questioned.


    "Yes."


    Vaan closed his eyes as he imagined a Fire bow in his head, soon, however, his brows scrunched up,


    "I… I can''t do that…


    My mind ispletely nk and nothing ising up."


    Vaan replied.


    ra narrowed her eyes. Then,


    *Flicker*


    She conjured a Fire Bow.


    Vaan''s eyes instinctively fell on her magic circle as he noticed what Magic Patterns she used.


    "Can you do it now?" ra questioned.


    Vaan closed his eyes again, and then,


    *Flicker*


    A Fire Bow which was exactly the same as ra''s was created.


    "!!!"


    ra''s eyes widened in horror.


    ''T-T-That''s beyond the level of a Prodigy.''
