Chapter 38: Magic Lessons Part One
Angelina gave a glance at Able before completely ignoring him. "Senior Sister, if I keep training, will I be able to do this as well as you do?"
"Yep! It may take a while but practice for at least an hour a day. Here I will show you a set of exercises that will help you with your arm strength. Practice these exercises for half an hour then practice drawing your blade for the final thirty minutes." With Angelina's attitude change towards me, of course, I would be much friendlier to her. I mean, you treat others how you wish to be treated, right? I find Angelina to be very earnest when it comes to learning. She hung on my every word. This Angelina I did not mind befriending.
"I see... This is a little hard since I have hardly tried to build muscles in my arms but I will work hard at it. Ummm… Senior Sister..." Angelina began twiddling her fingers, her cheeks flushed as she lowered her head. I could tell she was about to say something she was most likely not used to. "I apologize for my earlier behavior. I said some mean things and the way I treated you was not good at all. But even still you were willing to teach me something that could save my life one day. Please accept my apology!" Angelina bowed her head towards me.
I smiled faintly, helping her raise her head. "My name is Rei, So please call me that from now on Angel. From now on we are friends and not just fellow disciples."
Angelina raised her head and looked up at me and for the first time, I got to see her smile from the bottom of her heart as she happily said: "Yes!"
As the day went on, I trained with a few of the magic knights as well as answered all of Angelina's questions. It was just after we finished lunch that Master Felix returned and snatched both me and Angelina away to begin our magic training.
We were now in another area of the training field. Cedric was nice enough to make room for the three of us so that I could train my magic. I do have to say, having someone like Cedric as a father would be amazing. I feel very lucky to be Able's fiancee. Don't get me wrong though, I am not using Able. I do plan to marry him as long as he is willing to marry me in the future. Time can only tell. We may be getting along great now, but who knows what the future will hold. I mean, feelings change right? It may be my pessimistic view on life but people in relationships only have two routes. One is the route where they live a long happy life. While the other, which is more often to happen, is when the relationship lasts for a while because it's new and exciting but in the end when the couple finally learns about each other's habits, they will realize that the love they felt is no longer there. They find everything the other party does very annoying and this would disgust them.
When I went to school I saw many relationships start and end in this exact same way. But this route also branches into many different routes as well. Like cheating, one night stands, and many more situations that will make a couple break up. Of course, I guess a relationship at this age may be different since young love can make you do foolish things. Fortunately, maybe even unfortunately, for me, I have the ability to see who is interested in me and who is not. This does take out some of the excitement in a way, but at the same time, it can also warn me ahead of time if their love interest in me begins to go dwindle down.
Able is a great guy, I know this because of the game Magical Love, but also from what I have seen with my own eyes. He is honest and true to his words and is straight forward with his thoughts. He is not one to deceive or play tricks. So I will do my best to stay by his side. I feel with him I can learn what it means to love and what it means to be loved back. Hopefully...
"Rei?" Angelina's voice came from my side. I turned my head to look at her to see she had a worried expression on her face.
"Angel? What's the matter?" I asked.
"You stinking disciple! Did you even look where you were casting your magic!?" Master Felix's scolding came floating into my ear, causing me to shift my attention to him. But what I saw was not the white bearded Master I was used to seeing but a bearded old man that seemed to have had his beard lit on fire because it was now black and in a disarray. It was then that I realized that I was so lost in my own thoughts that I did not pay attention to what I was doing…
I quickly bowed my head causing my whole body to go into a ninety degree angle at my waist. "Master please forgive me! I was lost in thought!"
I heard Master Felix Let out a sigh as he looked at me. "It's fine. It's just a burnt beard. Not like it won't grow back. But Rei, from now on you need to pay attention no matter what. If this was a battlefield you could have killed an ally just now or have gotten yourself killed."
"I understand Master, I will never let it happen again!" I wanted to smack myself. I actually was so lost in my thoughts about love, that I made such a grave error. If this was not in the training area, Master Felix might have gotten hurt. To be honest I think I should be severely punished. Such a stupid mistake is not something someone who is striving to become a magic knight should make!
