《The Great Barrier Master》X.Chapter 3: Learning magic and flashback aren't really a good combination...(part 3)

Before continue, let talk about what happen after that.
After seeing my (LOL) status , the royals were in an uproar.
Just like Miharu said, such stat is rare for human to have in this level. More so, since i am the only one who receive that much blessing from her.
All you have to do is make her into your shikigami though.
Anyway, easily taking advantage of this situation, we have asked for many requests.
One of them is...
"Lady Mihr and Miss Maribel. Here we are."
Guide by the princess, we have come outside to a certain place.
What you notice first is the smell of grass and dirt, drifting through the air.
As you come further, the wind gently carried from the back, making patches of grass swayed, and the bright-coloured dust rised. From afar, the eyes can seen the sun, hanged above a thick line of white curve around the field, marked by pillars rising up along with the blue flag fluttering in the wind. Come even further, and figures of hay could be seen standed to guard along that line-like wall that's without a slightest of fault. (Not by human eyes anyway)
...It's a bit extensive just to describe a simple training field, isn't it?
Like i said earlier, this is the field that position itself in the west side of the castle, use to trained the soilder of this kingdom. Due to our's request though, it have been cleared out for reservation.
The peanut gallery have crowded out from the side though, for the reason was streching her tiny wings and taking in the airs.
"Uunn~~! This is a first time in a long while since i've taste the fresh air!!"
"You just taste it a bit while ago though?"
"...Goes to show just how great of a boss i have, isn't it?"

"Touche."
"...So, why am I have to teach you magic again?"
"Why not? Isn't that the reason the crowd come here?"
" I'm not a magician though ! Why don't you asked her instead!"
" Eh~~? Didn't she said she was "unworthy" and "want to watch Lady Mihr's magic", then joined with the crowd over here?"
I even see her, with spakling eyes, coming in with a notebook and a pen on hands.
"Beside, i also want to see what you can do too... So please, do your magic~~!" :)
"...Fine. I'm just gonna repeat what i heard from my acquaintain though."
Finally giving up, Miharu then turned to me and began her lesson.
"...Magic, the mysterious phenominal that exist in..."
But we will be skipping that.
It's not like you would like to hear something you already know a thousand time right?
"...Why do i have a feeling i'm being ignore?"
"What do you mean? Aren't these guy intentively listen from the side?"
"..."
Oops, she's leering at me... This is getting boring though.
"Now, now. Why don't we continue to the fun part?"
"...Then watch me. I'll do it slowly."
Standing still, Miharu placed her hand onto her chest. Her body began to glow in a faint golden colours (mesmerizing the crowd). The light then started to converge into the center, blurring the hand as if it was wraped in a bright mist. As it brightest however, it then suddenly burst out into the surrounding, intentionally mixing itself with the air around and disappeared...
The world then become distored.
The wind, which was just a breeze earlier, was howling. Scratching skins, it came plunging into the front of her hand, as it was pointed to the dummy in the middle. Coiled together like nest of snake, the bundle in the center get tighter and tighter, forming into a yarn ball made of wind. Still forming however,..

"Wind Blast."
That ball of wind then quickly move itself onto the target. As the same time, it rotate it body, lashing out the wind like a whip, shredding every single dummy and scratching the once flawless wall. With it momentum, the wall will crumble with the impact, but before it could reach the wall, the ball bloated and disappear without a trace.
All without Miharu breaking a sweat.
And thus, that leave to the nature reaction of speechlessness of the crowd who see it.
What they probably didn't see is the flow of mana graduly going back into Miharu's body though. Well, except the magician.
She shouldn't let her note touch the ground though, or it will get dirty.
...Either way, having this perfect control of mana to the point of being economical...
You're better than i thought, Miharu.
"...I sense another rude thought."
"Oh my, to be able to know what other think of you, you truly are better than i thought."
"Please, don't make it anymore obvious about your intent."
"I'm a bit serious about this, you know..."
"A bit...?"
"A bit. To think you even "marked" your own mana for better visualization... "
"Yeah yeah... now just do the same thing as i do and then let get it over with."
"I won't do that meaningless action other than to trained how to manipulate your mana though."
"...Hm!"
But ... this is how you use magic in this world huh?
Let see...
...How much could I mess it up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's note: Sorry for the delay, thing came up (was reading Hang In There, Kogasa-san!)
By the way, she did all of that in just a day. That's really fast for anybody to do. That's also mean my pace is too fast for an adventure story.
...And no, it doesn't mean new chapter tomorrow. I doesn't have that much free time!
