Chapter 17: Deviant

"...Condensate water?" I say dumbfounded.

*Water is a liquid how can I make it condensate?*

I raise my hand and I start to concentrate water in a sphere.

*By condensate water, does she mean to make more particles in the sphere?*

Nothing changes, it only made the sphere smaller.

Shrugging his shoulders, Jack says, "She said that because she thought you could be a deviant, seeing your abilities it was a possibility."

"Wait what did she intend with condensate water?" I ask unaware.

"She thought you could create ice, some people achieved this."

*Now I understand! I need to press the mana particles against themselves.*

Jack continues, "Still, it doesn't really matter if you are not a deviant, you are actually better than most mages that are twice your age, so don't--"

Cold air starts to emit from the sphere that was water, it's ice.

The sphere became pristine, reflecting the room and myself looking at it.

While Jack was looking at the sphere dumbfounded, Ava just opened her eyes probably to the cold air that was forming inside the room, she blinked sometimes and exclaimed, "Lisa!!"

The sphere of ice I formed disintegrated as I lose concentration with Ava hugging me.

"I'm so happy that you are alive!!" she starts sobbing as she makes the hug tighter.

"Ugh, I understand but tighten less your hug! I'm still recovering, you know."

As she starts to tighten less her hug she says, "Sorry...".

I didn't want to sound harsh but I was still recovering, even if I have the strength to cast spells and use mana I didn't fully heal.

"Kid... You surprise me every day at this point." He starts to walk across the room again and says, "Do you know the purpose of the test, Lisa?"

"Uhh, no?" I look at him resisting the urge to tell him that his question doesn't have sense.

"I know I didn't ask for your permission, but it was a test to enter inside a tournament that will occur in this rea--"

"What?! Why didn't you tell me this before the test."

He looks at me and says, "Because I thought that you would participate anyway, you are training every day without stop, you actually want to become stronger, don't you?"

I grit my hands and respond, "This doesn't give you the authority to do something like that!"

"Don't you want to revenge your family?"

After I heard this I felt my body going numb, how could I leave out from my life the intention of why I decided to become stronger, I tried to omit this because I couldn't train well, how could I train well if I felt only rage, I'm accusing myself for this every time, if only I was stronger and had the opportunity to protect them...

At this point becoming stronger is for revenge, but what will I get after that?

Money?

Power?

Fame?

I could gain a lot of these principles, but why would I need them? I already experienced those in my previous life.

The persons that are helping me now, Ava, Jack, the king, the queen, and the various elven people that respect me, I want to protect them.

I decided, after I will get revenge on Clemence, I will protect those that I have at heart.

"Alright, count me in the tournament," I exclaim with a different gaze from before.

Jack grins and nods, before saying, "Alright, You'll need to prepare for this tournament, it will open a lot of routes for you, Lisa. The people that will partecipate in the tournament will be strong, perhaps even stronger than you now with your now recovered Lucius, you need to count that they are benefited, there will be only elves, this is the perfect ambient for them."

Before leaving he stops and finishes what he was saying, "Right, from today I will make you use better your ice element."

I exclaim, "Wait, will Ava participate too?" 

He looks at me sadly and says, "Sadly, she can't. Even if she wants to participate she can't because she is the princess, the king and the queen decided to not make her participate in the tournament because they are worried that she will get hurt.

As the door close I stare blankly at it.

*It's not fair... She can't even decide by herself.*

Feeling two hands on my left hand I hear, "Don't worry for me Lisa, even if I can't participate I will watch the tournament-" I move my head and stare at her while she continues "-I will cheer on you, even if I am an elf, I will cheer only on you, it's thanks mostly to me that you will participate, I convinced my mom and dad, they aren't convinced by you participating there, that will make you the first human that participates in this tournament."

As I feel the angles of my eyes getting wet I murmur, "Ava... Thank you." I hug her in thanks.
