After nine hours, Kent came out of the Aura room. The elder responsible for the Aura rooms stood outside the Kent Aura room, waiting for Kent.
"Just because of your feet at the Arena, I let you use the Aura room for an extra hour. Next time, don't stay after closing time. Do you understand?" The elder spoke with a displeased face as he stood in wait for Kent, even after closing time.
Kent smiled thankfully and placed the red key stone in the elder's hand. "Elder, can I use a large-sized combat room now?" Kent asked in a requesting tone.
"Yes, you can. Unlike the aura rooms, the combat rooms are open until midnight. But you should consider taking some rest." The elder suggested this as Kent spent a lot of time inside the Aura room.
"I just got some insights, elder. I want to practice them before going home." Kent replied respectfully.
"Whatever..." the elder left with an ignorant sigh.
Ignoring the elder, Kent walked towards the Fire Kirin, who is sleeping on the soft grass. Kent approached it and rubbed its back with a smiling face. The Fire Kirin immediately stood up with a little surprise. Kent smiled after seeing its perplexed state.
After a short break, Kent flew to the back of the school, where combat rooms were situated.
Kent paid 100 bronze coins and reserved the large-sized combat room until midnight, which is used for group practice.
As the pets were allowed inside the large combat area, Kent took the fire Kirin inside and let it rest in one corner. After placing a few bowls of food before the Kirin, Kent walked to the center of the room, placed the key stone in the magic circle, and chose long-range practice.
Instantly, several target boards formed at different distances, and they were flickering in neon colors. Some of the target points were moving in random directions.
After taking a look at his surroundings, Kent took out the 'cloth parchment' where he wrote the names of selected arrow spells for practice. There are 13 names written with an indication of attack type, defense type, or a special one.
Out of 13, three arrow spells were marked for the initial practice. After careful observation, Kent decided to go with the defensive arrow spell first. So, he chose 'Void Breaker Arrow' and opened the Arcane tome to read about the Void Breaker Arrow spell before praticing.
VOID BREAKER ARROW:
SPELL: VACCUS DISSOLVO IMPETUM
The Void Breaker Arrow is a mystical projectile that disrupts reality upon impact. Created by supreme magus, it dissolves opponents' attacks upon contact, erasing them from existence as if they never happened. Its mantra invokes the emptiness between breaths, rendering foes' assaults futile. With unparalleled precision, it nullifies ongoing attacks, leaving adversaries defenceless in its wake.
A long description followed, describing how to execute the spell and the precautions and effects mentioned at the end.
Kent spent 15 minutes, fully grasping the information about the spell. After practicing the spell to perfection, he closed down the Arcane Tome and took out his Victor Bow.
Balancing the Victor bow on his left hand, Kent took the stand of an archer. He closed his eyes and focused his attention on the arrow spell.
As he opened his eyes, his gaze landed on the target holograph, which was glowing orange. With a quick rush, Kent's aura moved into the Victor bow, which glowed in golden color.
"Vaccus Dissolvo Impetum," Kent muttered while drawing the bow string. A snow-white arrow formed along the bow string, which was flickering with a black outline.
"Boom"
"Ahhh…" Kent cried out in pain and staggered back. The arrow spell broke before he even released the arrow. A cold aura damaged his skin on his right arm with a corrosive effect.
Offuu… Offuu… Kent puffed some air on the skin to ease the pain. Thankfully it is a defensive spell. If it is an attacking spell, the damage would have been sevear.
"What the hell went wrong?" Kent muttered, putting aside the bow. The Fire Kirin, who is happily munching on delicious food, came hurriedly after hearing Kent's painful cry.
While Kent was blowing air on the burnt skin, Kirin extended its tongue and licked his corroded skin with a concerned gaze.
"Don't…" Kent pulled his arm back to stop the Kirin. But in the next second, he felt a cooling sensation on his burnt skin, which was healing at a rapid pace.
"Wha…!!!" Kent's eyes went wide in surprise. He never expected Fire Kirin to have this type of ability. Even the Grand Magus who came to deliver the pet also didn't mention it.
While Kent thanking the fire Kirin by kissing its forehead, Kirin made weird laughs. But what Kent doesn't know is that only the Fire Kirins with royal blood lines will have this type of healing ability.
After taking a short rest, Kent again stood with the bow in hand. Instead of trying the same spell again, he began analyzing where it went wrong. He first checked the spell description again. But he did not find anything in there.
After contemplating for a minute, he opened the combat videos sent by his aunt and began observing them closely.
It took him ten minutes to find out the mistake he made. "How did I miss this important detail?! The old man also didn't mention it." Kent muttered while tossing the sky orb back inside the bracelet.
"To execute a spell arrow, one must first draw a normal arrow with aura, and before releasing it, the spell mantra should be added to the arrow. The arrow should be released before the normal aura arrow turns into a spell arrow visibly."
[Please read the above paragraph again if you didn't grasp the meaning. I think most of you already understood it, as it's pretty basic.]
Holding the Victor bow steadily, Kent pulled the bow string. As he imparted aura, a normal glowing aura arrow formed from the bow string to the target point.
"VACCUS DISSOLVO IMPETUM"
This time he shouted loudly in a confident tone. Soon another layer of aura enveloped the arrow, and the arrow began turning into white, glowing color. Before it changed completely, Kent aimed it towards the bright orange coloured target sign.

Note: My writing is very fast paced. It might look forceful/abrupt in some places to read. But to avoid dragging the story by writing poetically, it is must for me. I don't want to use any AI to turn my writing artificial. Hope you understand. TQ.
