“Fua…”

While the students began to start their training, Lyle was yawning in boredom.

Well, it was only reasonable.

Receiving this kind of class at this late hour had no meaning at all.

After all Lyle who was the well known was already way above them--- in terms of power, skills and abilities. Thus he deemed it unnecessary to join them.

On the other hand, if he was asked whether there was anything else that he needed to do, there was also nothing like that.

That was why Lyle didn’t particularly do anything; he was just blankly observing the class situation of the students.

In the first place, he was originally treated as a plague ... at worst a ghost that couldn't be seen. Joining them would only show how thick skinned he was, humiliating himself in the process.

“Haa~.”

As for his options, he could do nothing besides bemoan to himself as such. But still at the least, he was expecting something in this kind of class.

Since the class did not involve lectures, he figured there might be a change of pace during practical training. Giving him some inspirations to think of a new magic or skill if he watched them. However, nothing exciting really came to fruition.

Thus, he was really bored.

And then, after a while what he felt was ...

--- Their quality is comparatively good huh.

Surprisingly, most of the students showed high level talents and skills. Either in the Warrior class or the Mage Class, there were some students who unexpectedly stick out like a sore thumb. Such as; Belial and Marcia in the Warrior Class and Feme and some girls in the Mage Class.

The standard of their quality was considerably higher than he imagined.

But, as expected, although they weren't that bad, they were still not good enough―

They're still lacking on some aspect--- That is what Lyle was thinking.

Lyle's gaze was locked on Feme who was trying on her magic .... [Flare Burst] a C-ranked magic.

As expected from Princess Feme, I guess... Feme really does have the talent for Magic...

Her talent was enough to earn admiration from Lyle. However, although she's doing fine on her Magic training, Lyle still found it lacking ...

Ranks are not just simple power levels or the person's achievement. It also categorized their magic limits. The lowest rank, E rankers can only use simple and the most basic of all magic based on their affinities. Such as Fire, breeze, puddle and mud from the basic magic elements, fire, wind, water, and earth consecutively.

When the Mage ranked up, they will also be capable of learning new magic.

It's not like lower ranks can't use high level spells but the thing that keeps them from using it was their own mana capacity. The higher the level of the magic being used, the higher the mana it required.

... Though there are still some exceptions~ for example, Lyle who originally possess enormous amount of mana ever since he was born. This existence were often called [ Chosen Ones ] or [ Child of Heavens. ]

Basically, when one managed to rank up, it will double his/her own mana capacity, causing for the mage to become even stronger. That is why, many mages wanted to reach the pinnacle of power...

Besides, although he still couldn't announce his ominous feelings regarding that so called 'Master Snake' because of his situation, he could still strengthened the power of the people around him.

Even with just a bit of power up, it would still add a layer of their safety.

Lyle sighed while standing up. And then he approached Feme who was training using her Magic with a serious face that she failed to pay attention to her footing.

The tip of her foot caught on a slight difference in height on the ground.

“Kyaa!?”

Since she was caught unprepared, her body was falling towards the ground at quite some speed. If she had crashed into ground like that, she might have suffered some cuts.

However, that didn't happen. Before she had crashed, someone caught her.

“Looks like you are having fun by yourself huh. Feme.”

That person's hand was large, and from the sensation of being held and the slight warmth coupled with the very familiar voice, Feme could tell who it was right away.

“P-Prince Lyle ...”

“Are you okay?”

Just like that he supported from behind the slim shoulder of the girl who almost fell behind on her butt --- Feme.

“Eh, tha, thank you very much”

Right in the center of Feme's view was Lyle, smiling with relief.

The moment she realized she was being held by him, Feme realized that she could no longer muster any strength. She felt like she wanted to stay this way forever.

The power she felt from the arms around her, the comfortable warmth from his body temperature and the feeling of security she felt from his presence made her intuition scream out.

Time should just stop at this moment!

"Be careful okay ..." Unaware of her thoughts Lyle, help her posture and slowly separated. "... That [Flare burst] seemed somewhat good ..."

"R-really ... t-thank you very much"

Feme was overjoyed that Lyle was praising her. Seeing that, Lyle revealed a slight smile and shook his head."However, [Flare Burst] required an enormous mana to use. I'm guessing that it should have taken at least a quarter of your mana ... am I right?"

"Eh ? That's ..."

"... then let me give you some pointers~ how about instead of [ Flare Burst ], use [ Burning Mandala ]?" Lyle said coolly.

"[Burning Mandala]? What kind of magic is that ?"

Lyle smiled after hearing Feme's question and nodded his head. "That's right ... it's Sail*r Mar* magic."

"Sail*r Mar* ?"

"No need to ask about her ... she's a great woman that's all I can say. I can teach you how to use her [Snake Blaze] but I doubt you can immediately learn it. [Snake Blaze] after all is the same as my magic." Smiling wryly, Lyle opened his palm and then summoned a small fire. After a few seconds, it then forms in the shape of a snake, wriggling happily.

"Giving magic a form needs an enormous amount of mana and concentration. More so in giving it some sentient. However, [Burning Mandala] is different."

After saying that, Lyle creates a ring of fire from his hand. Under Feme's curious gaze, it then expanded and floated above him. When Lyle's hand formed a fist, it then turned into eight rings of fire and then condenses to become balls of fire; eight balls of fire.

After completing the deployment of the eight small balls of fire in short order, he took aim at the target which was an armored scarecrow, firing them off simultaneously.

The burning balls of fires were right on target; the armored target was hit repeatedly and explodes with a 'BOOOM!' causing the whole ground to shake.

All the students who were training and even the instructors couldn't help but stop what they're doing and turned their heads towards the scorched crater which was the only thing left from the training dummy. Their eyes wide open in shock.

"L-Lyle ... that ..."

"Strong isn't it?" Lyle smiled confidently at Feme whose jaw was wide open enough to put a whole egg. Her fox ears stood on top of her head and her tail behind her was shaking left and right and just wouldn't stop.

"That's just the simplified form of [Burning Mandala] and wasn't the complete form yet. Although it can be categorized as a C-ranked magic for its mana consumption but for its destructive power, it can rival B-rank or even above magic."

"W, Will you really teach me that?" Feme was desperately trying to calm herself down. However, she stuttered and her voice faltered. Her vision turned blurry from excitement.

There was no way she could still calm, Lyle was actually teaching her? That Prince Lyle who's an incarnation of 'Unreasonableness'!

Nodding his head while smiling, Lyle stroke Feme's hair, causing for the latter's fox ears to move; expressing their delight.

Carefully and properly explaining the magic process, Lyle taught Feme some tricks. He even performed several times and draw a huge mandala on the ground for her to understand properly.

... ...

"... Yes like that."

Feme rotates her left arm once in a clockwise direction, with fire gushing out of her hand. The fire condenses into 8 balls of fire around her and then slowly formed into small mandalas.

"Good ... like that." Clapping his hand, Lyle watched Feme's 21st try of the technique.

She was a genius, Lyle was sure of that. Although she had try it every time but failed. However, she still didn't give up and let the failure reach her soul but instead her determination was going stronger and stronger every failure.

What's more important was that, every failure seemed to gave her new insights as to how it should be, causing her to almost successfully cast the spell.

Lyle smiled dazzlingly as he watched Feme followed his every instruction.

In front of him, Feme spreads her arms wide and yells "BURNING...!" as she draws her arms in front of herself and moves them in and out while drawing in several small mandala that form a circle around her body.

Once the circle is completed they transform in a bright burst of light and transformed into something like those massive traditional vajrayana Buddhism mandala. Although they were still some discrepancy but it was still executed properly.

Up to this point, Feme did everything correctly. Watching this, Lyle was getting excited ...

Hehe ... Sail*r Mar* will be reborn in this world! Hahaha ...

Not knowing Lyle's thoughts Feme then crouches and realeases a powerful wave of fire as she finishes the spell by yelling "...MANDALA"

The armored scarecrow in front of Feme exploded.

"Ha ... Ha" Panting in the ground, Feme still revealed a brilliant smile. Her eyes sparkling like a little girl receiving a Christmas present from Santa Claus.

Lyle didn't have the time to react before Feme rushed towards him and suddenly hugged his arms pulled him down excitedly and kissed him on the cheeks. She cried loudly, "I did it! I did it! Did you see that? I did it!"
