Chapter 28: 28 Chapter 29: Concept Magic

The instant the coin landed the expression on the faces of the two girls went from playful to serious. Ariel instantly cast Ventus while Serena began chanting

"Eh?" I unintentionally let out

Since it happened so fast, I barely managed to avoid the Wind blade by ducking. I felt a few strands of my hair get cut off by that attack

"Wha-"

Before I could say anything Ariel put constant pressure on me by propelling a wind blade at me whenever I stood still

"John, during a fight you usually start talking whenever the opportunity arises, it's because you don't take things seriously that you end up in a bad spot!" Said Ariel after stopping

What's going on? Wasn't I supposed to be teaching them?

"W-w-wait timeout! Time out!!" I shouted as Ariel continued to pressure me with Ventus

Meanwhile, Serena had finished her chant and was summoning her fine lion

"Yes?" Asked Ariel with a scary smile

"U-um ariel... Don't you think you should hold back a bit more? This is just practice, your blades are pretty sharp..." I said while she stopped attacking

"But I am holding back? These attacks are just enough to be able to knock you out! John is very strong after all." She replied with a proud expression

No, please don't think of me as some sort of strong being, these attacks might actually kill me if they hit me head-on

"A-Ariel, I don't think anyone can surviv-"

Before I could finish, Serena sent a fireball at me, which I managed to dodge by sidestepping to the left. Once I did a fire lion which was being hidden behind the giant figure of the fireball jumped at me and bit me midair

While it latched on to my shoulder, I cast Glacio and froze it

"Aw, I thought we got him with that strategy... John always jumped to the side to dodge a big attack..." Muttered Serena

"S-Serena... A-at least you should hold back... My arm still feels numb" I said

"Don't be silly john. As if something like that is enough to stop you." They said

Nonono, no matter how I look at it, these attacks are aiming for my life. I may be able to withstand Ventus head-on since Ariel is slightly holding back. But if these 2 keep constantly attacking me like this I might really die...

"W-Wait... Maybe let's just do a 1v1..." I said

"Huh? Did you hear something Ariel?" Asked Serena as she cast another fireball at me

"Nope, not at all," Ariel replied as she mixed in a Ventus behind it

S-Stop... S-Someone Help, HELP!!!

-------------------------------------------------

"How did we lose..." Muttered Ariel while her body was frozen

"Our plan was perfect..." Muttered Serena while her body was also frozen

"Oi, did I just hear something about a plan? When did you guys even make a plan? We had 1 minute to prepare." I asked as I stared at them

"Hmmm?" I said

"W-We were practising working together so that we could be able to catch up to you and beat you..." Said, Ariel

"Surpassing me is one thing, but was there a need to beat me?" I asked

"Well... You're a-always growing so fast that we felt as if, beating you would be the only way to tell if we've caught up..." Serena muttered

Ah, so that's what it is...

"I see... I guess that makes sense... Once you guys are ready, come to where I'm at, I'll begin Serena's lesson of the Fire concept, and help ariel improve her wind control" I said as I unfroze them

Shortly after, I headed towards the middle of the open field and waited for Serena and Ariel

"T-thank god he didn't find out that we were training because we were planning on making him do something for us if we won..." Serena muttered

"Yeah..." Replied Ariel

This should be far enough... I said as I looked over at the two girls who were talking

I felt my legs lose strength as I sat on the ground. I looked up at the sky and cast 'Quiescis'.

"Alright, I set it to 5 meters, so all I need to do is wait."

As I waited I began to recall the events of the fight. It was a close match. Serena and Ariel showed perfect teamwork as they made up for each other's weaknesses.

Ariel would pressure me while Serena began her chant so that I wouldn't be able to disrupt it and Serena would attack me while her chant was finished. It was a simple strategy which would have been easy to be, but they added complex combinations with their attacks.

For example, she'd always hide another spell behind the fireball. Whether it was a Ventus or a lion. Of course, I was hit a few times by Ariels ventus but it didn't do much damage, unlike how she acted, she held back quite a lot.

The Ventus which would be able to cut enemies in half only left a few small cuts on wherever it hit me. But they lost because of that. Since Ariels only spell was one that was able to cut. She wasn't able to deal that much damage to me.

Serena's spells weren't life-threatening so she didn't have to hold back that much. I was pressured on the beginning because I wasn't prepared but over time, I easily countered them.

Nonetheless, I stayed on the defensive as originally planned to see their abilities and they severely lacked training.

Ariel managed to gather enough magic power for a Ventus Tormentum despite casting countless Ventuses but she missed, and due to that she became temporarily immobile since she ran out of mana, after judging that I had seen enough, I ran up to Ariel and used Glacio once we made contact.

I then ran towards Serena who had missed her fireball when she tried to stop me and used Glacio on her too. That was how they lost.

Ariel's mana pool is growing but without a wand, it's still not that high. At this rate, I might have to teach her another concept instead of Wind so she can protect herself... However, that would be unfair on Serena... So I would have to teach her another concept too...

"Damn it god what should I do!" I shouted out

Shortly after they were done speaking, they finally arrived.

"John, we were formulating another plan. Do you mind if we had another fight tomorrow?" Serena asked

I could have sworn we were allies, why do you guys want to beat me so much

"Hmm... I think it'd be more effective to try after the training is over..." I replied

"Then, we'll do it after the training is over," Serena said

"Alright then, let's start."

What should I do... Ariel is here so if I teach her the fire concept... Ah... Screw it. I'll just teach them both the same concepts, I'll teach Serena the wind concept and fire. Who cares if the concepts go public? I'll be doing a good thing for society.

Even if I'm making mages which could potentially want to kill me stronger, I'm only teaching them a fraction of what I know.

From what I've seen, with the knowledge I have, I've been able to create magic which has nothing to do with the 4 elements, like the unique magic I heard about. There are many other concepts aside from the 4 basic elements.

For example for physics, I might be able to create lightning spell... I also learnt biology, so I should be able to come up with a healing spell... With chemistry, I might even be able to create gold... Or not.

"Yeah, there's nothing to lose, if anything happens, I'll just learn stronger spells to protect those I care about" I unintentionally said out loud

"What?" Asked Ariel as she was startled

"At our current level, we're too weak. I'll be teaching you guys the concept of all 3 elements which I know, These are, fire, water, and wind. I'll also be teaching ice magic, Understood?!" I said

"Yes!" They both replied with their expressions full of excitement

Well if i-it makes them happy, I won't regret teaching them... Besides, I'm the kind of person who hates the feeling of regret. I've had enough of it in my past life, and I try to live life without regretting anything, even if it was a horrible decision.

"But are you sure john? Teaching us something this valuable, if any of us decide to say anything, you might not get credit..." Ariel said

Ariel, I'm sure she wouldn't do anything like that. Serena we recently met and I don't know much about her so I'll have to leave it to luck

"Well, I trust you both, besides you two, don't come off as the type to take credit for something you didn't do unless you had to," I said

"I see... Well, I'll be staying with john so when the time comes, I'll just ask you directly." Said Ariel with a smile on her face

"I'd like to continue staying in this party too, I'm always learning new things and it's pretty fun arguing with john." Said, Serena

"Thanks... and Serena, what was that you said at the end?" I asked

"I'm always learning new things," She said

"Nevermind, I might have imagined it. If a kingdom learns of concept magic, it will eventually spread out through spies or mages to other kingdoms, so there's no point in me hiding it, it'll only bring a new era for magicians and make them stronger." I said

"Yes, that would be the case." Replied Serena

"Then, I'm guessing it's better if they learn more about it. If you guys wish to tell others or teach them, go ahead. I only think we should wait until we are stronger as a party.

We can use the fact that I discovered this, to gain a headstart and have more time to practice it." I said with a smile on my face

I'm sure the concept behind the 4 elements will be able to make big changes. But I'll leave that to me of the future to worry about. At least at this rate, all magicians will be able to use more than one element and chantless.

Besides, won't it be cool? I'll be the trigger to a new era, I'm getting excited...

"I agree, once we're stronger, we can teach others about concept magic. You'll gain credit and most likely a hefty reward. Eventually, it'll spread to other kingdoms and everyone will know your name" Said Serena

"Is it something that amazing?" I asked

"YES! I've told you countless times, your master/teacher was the first to find out about the concept! And you were probably the only one he taught!

Unless he taught others who know, but you're the only person I've heard of who can use chantless magic, meaning your master only taught you" Said, Serena

"I see... I guess that's pretty amazing. Imagine how everyone will react in the future when we teach them?" I said

"Probably, dumbfounded." She replied

"Yeah... But I'm glad I finally reached a decision. We'll start with our lesson, now. Serena, ariel make sure you pay close attention." I said

"John, wait." Said, Serena

"What's wrong?" Asked Ariel

"I have something to say... You've shown immense trust in me, so I believe should tell you..." said Serena

"Go on..?" I said

"I'm an elf." Said Serena
