In the vast training grounds of the academy, Alaryc and his friends began honing their skills seriously. Jake and Alicia formed a duo, training together, while Alaryc and Silvarya teamed up on the other side.
– Go ahead, attack first, Alaryc said to Silvarya with a confident smile.
Silvarya nodded and activated her water element. A dense, swift arrow of water shot toward Alaryc at an impressive speed. However, thanks to his intense training with the robot, Alaryc dodged it effortlessly, a slight smirk on his face.
– Not bad, but now it's my turn!
He conjured a fireball, but this time, he perfectly controlled his magic. As Silvarya dodged the attack, Alaryc made a fluid motion with his hand, redirecting the fireball toward her. Surprised by such precise control, Silvarya was hit squarely by the attack. Although slightly injured, she stood back up, ready to continue.
The sound of the explosion caught Jake and Alicia's attention, and they turned around to watch the fight.
– Silvarya, use both of your elements, Alaryc declared, a challenging gleam in his eyes.
Silvarya, shocked that he knew about her abilities, smiled mischievously.– Alright then, if you want me to go all out, get ready!
Jake and Alicia, observing from afar, whispered to each other.– Two elements? What does he mean by that? Jake asked, intrigued.
Silvarya then activated both her elements, water and earth. She combined their powers to create a massive, compact mud ball and launched it powerfully at Alaryc.
Faced with such force, Alaryc, surprised but thrilled, smiled with excitement.– Impressive… Alright, my turn!
Revealing one of his hidden elements, Alaryc fused fire and shadow, generating an intense and menacing black flame. He hurled it toward Silvarya's attack, but instead of letting the two spells collide, Alaryc guided both magical attacks upward into the sky.
A massive explosion illuminated the training grounds, shaking the entire academy. Students, professors, and even the headmistress turned their eyes to the sky, watching the phenomenon in awe. From her office window, the headmistress smiled.– These first-years… They are truly remarkable, she murmured.
When the explosion subsided, Jake, Alicia, and Silvarya were still in shock.
– How did you do that? Silvarya asked, astonished. You used two elements simultaneously… and you fused them!
Alaryc, with a mysterious smile on his lips, simply remained silent, refusing to explain.
A few seconds later, a professor arrived, running with a stern expression.– Who is responsible for this explosion? he asked, scanning the students present.
